From The Saleroom prop auction in 2022:
A starship model miniature from the sci-fi series Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The starship design was featured as a Lysian sentry pod in Next Generation's Season 5 episode "Conundrum," Kelsey's (Marie Marshall) mercenary scout ship in the Season 6 episode "Starship Mine," and the cargo ship Ekina in Deep Space Nine's Season 2 episode "Invasive Procedures."

ambivalence
how do you tell those few people who matter, who actually care, that you do not want to die but that you aren't very keen about living either
how do you iterate this going through the motions: clock-in, clock-out, eat, sleep, lather, rinse, repeat as nothing more than madness, sorrow, rage, silence, this endless, lonely fortitude
how do you sit on a fence without falling to either side, beauty here, decay there, both of them alluring, like the Sirens of Odysseus
how do you tell your best friend that you love her more than anything in this world, for calling you Sweet Sister
how do you straddle a conundrum, do you grip it with your upper thighs, as if it were a bucking horse, untamed, not yet broken, wild
how do you survive

A drawing of Conundrum and Edward vibing in his workshop, commissioned by @finniestoncrane! ^-^🖤🤍 I'm almost a little sad to let them go, as I greatly enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere created by their mere togetherness 😌

I want you to know that even if you don’t solve riddles, just appreciating them is enough to impress me. Riddles have a lot of negative stigma around them because they have been twisted into something un-fun, but they are an art. They are to be appreciated and enjoyed, even if you aren’t the best at solving them. And even if you aren’t, you can learn techniques to better solve them (I will make a video on this). I never want anyone to feel ashamed over riddles, or feel as though they’re inadequate because they don’t instantly solve them. There’s no time limit, and no judgement EVER. (Unless I don’t like you)

Okay so here’s a question. What are your interpretations of this part of Captive Prince? I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it, but I’m never sure if I’ve grasped it properly?
Tumblr media
Nicaise is filled with horror by the idea that Laurent will tell the Regent he wants him. Laurent clearly never would and is filled with pity at the thought.
So what would be the actual consequences of Laurent telling the Regent he wants Nicaise?
I have assumed that Nicaise, for all his frightened posturing, knows that to end up as a pawn between Laurent and the Regent is far worse than his current precarious and tragic situation, on the cusp of being discarded anyway.
I’m just wondering what specifically Laurent thinks will wreck Nicaise. Destroy him somehow. Is it realising just how disposable he is to the Regent? Even as Nicaise determinedly clings, the frightened child that he is, to the delusion the Regent won’t dispose of him, he also knows deep inside he will. Is that the truth that would destroy him?
Or just how evil the Regent is? That he has been abused into loving someone capable of horrific things, and once he sees Nicaise as a vulnerability for Laurent, the Regent will use and abuse him in order to further hurt, undermine and destroy Laurent?
I feel it’s one of those moments that elusively remain out of my grasp, so honestly someone please enlighten me 🙏

This piece of art features the original working title, stylishly presented in period appropriate font, incorporating the Tom and Jerry logo. “Tom and Jerry in Sherlock Holmes and the Disappearing Diamonds” would eventually become “Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes.”

The eternal struggle between:
a) Continuing to read Oshi no Ko monthly as it comes out so I can be part of conversations about the manga and I don’t risk being spoilt.
b) Taking a break for a few months so I get the joy of reading a few chapters together.

Considering texting some guy who I literally voluntarily exchanged numbers with one night while sped off my tits, completely forgetting that straight people exist because I was very sure that me and him were gonna form a post-punk band which I would be fronting. Didn't even cross my mind that he might think I was interested in him. Anyway I need someone to come dancing with me tomorrow, and he knows I'm a lesbian now because I told him after we swapped numbers because I realised what he was thinking in his brain. All my friends are either sick or away on holiday. I wish it were easy to just hit up a hot lesbian on an app and be like hello come dance with me. But women have standards. Men are dummies who'll do anything to be in the vicinity of a woman.
