Paige's Ponderings

i fucking hated your shoelaces this entire time

maomao’s dedication to ignoring jinshi’s real identity is truly inspiring. the woman who has solved multiple murders based on minor clues in the environment keeps looking at every sign pointing to jinshi being royalty and going “damn, this could add up to something. good thing I can’t do math!”

#aos: the aspirational influence of the all important father as role model is what forges a boy to a shiny hero. twok taught us this#tos: if u think about it the horrors were kirk's real father all along :)#also...tos providing zero backstory between tarsus iv survivor jim kirk 20 years before s1 and the casual lore drop about#not just serious but 'absolutely grim' bullied cadet jim kirk 15 years before s1? then moving 'shore leave' up#to follow directly from cotk & balance of terror??? the network fucked up a lot but the vision was cotk->bot->sl and afdjkadjkd#cool cool cool. choices sure were made.#ngl kirk letting spock's ludicrous secretiveness pass with barely a comment isn't just him being an enabler or gracious or whatnot#it's not like he's volunteered information about his own family ever! even at deneva he was rather notably unhelpful w/ info at first#/bones/ was the one who was like 'oh hey doesn't your brother live here' until aurelan picked up#spock has to use his pro starfleet account search engine to find out extremely relevant facts about kirk's history multiple times!#if kirk raised a stink about the sarek and amanda awkward moment spock would just give him the bitchiest bitch face in vulcan history#and he would deserve it! but really every time i see something like#'we need to come up with an explanation for why kirk doesn't explicitly mention tarsus iv more' i'm like. but do we#bc if you ask me that would be more of a break w/ the continuity of his character than him not mentioning it but going 1000-yard stare#or near feral with rage in situations involving connected issues like food/hunger/starvation or tyranny/mass murder/ecofascism#for an alleged ~greater good—and in a way that no other character does even when others share his general indignation. aka what happens (X @anghraine)

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

Sent a 12 year old on a fake Hero’s Journey last week and holy shit he actually did it

You know what would make a GREAT plot twist? Fidelity.

And yes I mean in the context of romantic relationships, but not only in the context of romantic relationships. Or did AND ROHAN WILL ANSWER mean nothing to you?

Oh Dean. Dean, who called his autistic husband to open up and ask him for advice on how to deal with his freshly resurrected mother. Darling. He knew Cas would be garbage at that but he asked and he grimaced at the terrible advice because just hearing Cas on the phone makes him feel better

i do desperately need everyone on this website especially people who arent american but want to rag on america to familiarize themselves with the basic romanized spelling conventions of native american languages because every day i come on here and i see people making fun of massachusetts or connecticut or mississippi or passamaquoddy or mashpee or nipissing and its like PLEASE. PLEASE THEY ARENT ENGLISH WORDS. PLEAAAAASEEEEEUUUHHH. USE YOUR MINDS TO IDENTIFY WHEN A WORD LOOKS LIKE IT MAY NOT BE ENGLISH. I DONT CARE IF YOU MAKE FUN OF AMERICA JUST PLEASE STOP BEING RACIST WHILE YOU DO IT
