#Spirk is a Tumblr-certified Valentine's Day tag!

I love seeing stores and cafes that display and sell shitty local art. Everybody on the planet should be making shitty local art. Everyone in the community should get to see what shitty local art everyone else is making. Eventually you will find something and be like hold on. This weirdly speaks to me. I've never seen anything quite like this, whether because of this person's idiosyncratic style or strange choice of subject matter or what. And suddenly your favorite piece of art is a collage painting done by a woman who waits tables during the day and does roller derby at night and uses the excess flyers and paper menus from both places of work to make amateur art on the weekends and you realize this is such a bizarre combination of circumstances that has produced something so striking to you, how lucky you are to live in a world where this got to exist and you got to see it

i think it's really fun when a rly specific trope is super popular in one particular medium but in other ones it's just totally unheard of. it's the time knife. visual novel players are suuuuper used to death games but many others encountered them for the first time in squid games. the other day my mom showed me all excited the summary of a super original novel she found and it was about a girl who got reincarnated as the main character in her favorite fantasy book

what the fuck is a time knife

Genuinely one of my favorite things about TNG is how often they're just doing art for fun. Riker's been playing trombone since he was a kid and he really enjoys it and also he is Not Good. Dr. Crusher is stalking the halls trying to rope all her friends and acquaintances into joining her community theater productions and musical reviews even if they've never been on stage before. They're constantly going to their crewmates' music recitals and poetry readings, and some of these people are impressively good at what they do but some of them are just getting started or content to stay at beginner level. They're having fun! They don't have to be prodigies in order to be involved with art because engaging with art on whatever level has value of its own! THIS is what I want to see in my post-scarcity socialist space future. Will Riker's bad trombone playing is load-bearing, actually.

enchanted by the way trek paces things. give me 10 solid minutes of a whale talking to a space probe with no subs. we need to see their entire conversation but no we dont its private

usually i am the biggest fan of when shows put their protagonists in period costume, but voyager is funny for me in that i hate it every time they put janeway in those stupid dresses. a woman like janeway has to be wearing masculine clothing no matter the era. it just doesn't match her face when her hair is in ringlets or her bearing when she's running around dragging a massive skirt. all i'm gonna say is thank you forever killing game for the iconic white tux and black turtleneck outfits

That was normal.

im not interested in glory through combat anymore. i do not want to be a part of this shit.

on the battlefield again

it's crazy how by writing q and picard tng perfectly predicted the relationship between a tumblrina and a blorbo. like yeah here is this emotionally constipated middle aged man and the omnipotent homosexual who wants nothing but to put this guy in fucking Predicaments. also the omnipotent homosexual is considered a weirdo by his peers. he is also unemployed. that's a big plotpoint actually

much to play with wrt the concept of sisko as a food snob and jadzia as someone who will eat literally anything with gusto. they’re going somewhere in the runabout and jadzia pours her shitty replicator coffee over some shitty replicator soft serve like “look it’s the poor woman’s affogato” and sisko is like “it’s killing me is what it is. you’re killing me. i’m dying for real watching you eat that. dax why i thought we were friends”

out of all the star trek chief engineers i think miles o’brien is the least likely to be a machinefucker. i think he loves his job but does not eroticize it. trip tucker is in the middle he would fuck a machine as long as it had tits and a sexy voice. b’elanna and geordi would go a step farther they would fuck a machine as long as it had a vaguely humanoid form but are happy to get pretty abstract with it. scotty would fuck the enterprise as is

Not only is this infuriating, its also laughably transparent racism cause like??? What do you mean sid isn't hot?
