Backstory: Matt’s parents were part of a sinister organisation and worked as genetic scientists. Matt was the subject of one of their human experiments at four, and when that resulted in him getting lava powers he couldn’t control, he was placed on an uninhabited island and essentially abandoned. Canine was the only other person on the island, but since she was told it was her job to keep him from leaving they never bonded or worked together to get off the island. It wasn’t until Valala showed up that he was able to escape.

Okay so, this is a Windows computer. I know that company. It’s really… small. And thin.

I don’t see the computer case. So, there should be a power button on the monitor.

Hold on.

Why are computers in the future so frail feeling??

—there! Buttons!!

Okay, okay here.

Shoot. Right, I need a password.

due to Life Shit I kind of stopped drawing much about a year or two after I graduated high school bc I just kind of didn’t have the time or mental/emotional/physical capacity to fit it in, despite art being something I really want to be a part of my career. It kind of makes me sick to realize how much muscle memory I lost just from that time (I had only about a year and a half total of absolutely no art but that was enough. doesn’t help that during that time I seriously injured my hands) considering I’ve been drawing my entire life. I really wish things had not gone that way and that I could have kept going, but expectations were on me to do something else and any time I sat down to draw was treated as wasting time. There’s also something weird about recovering from severe trauma that kind of adjusts how you engage with a hobby you used as a coping mechanism, which Art very much was. I almost never drew vent art, but I used it to focus on something and make myself happy and proud of work I actually could do, and once I was out of the environments that funneled me into drawing (being forced to go to church, school, anything involving sitting down for a long period of time) I found less time to actually have an excuse. Someone bought me a single college course of art classes right out of high school, and I think that was where I COULD have had the opportunity to really get started if I had actually had the money to continue and the college hadn’t been so far away. After that course ended I didn’t have that excuse anymore. I used to draw in DeviantArt and Discord art groups, but those began to fall apart and soon I didn’t have that option either. After that I doodled but didn’t really create Full Pieces unless some friend asked it of me, and it was never a commission bc I’d never trained myself to get that sort of shit done without taking too long, so I’d always do it for free. So even that wasn’t a big motivator eventually. Now that I’m struggling for work after becoming more physically disabled after COVID, all that time I could have spent honing my art skills so I could do SOMETHING with my art really is weighting down on me. I have the option to do freelance work, illustrations, pet commissions, even things like cards and cookies. I’ve seen these avenues open up for me gradually, but I’ve lost the skills I built up that I need to actually make something I’m proud of. I’ve taken to tracing old art to try and remember my thought process and my “style”… but my memory was bad BEFORE the covid, and it’s worse now, and my brain fog makes it hard to focus even if I could get back on the train of thought. I don’t remember the construction that would be in my mind’s eye. I barely can keep a clear vision in my mind’s eye anymore, worryingly. I never had a crystal clear imagination, it was always sort of abstract, but I could see the lines, I could construct a scene. Now I have to focus hard to get any sort of detail clear in my head. It’s like if you tried to look directly into someone’s face in a dream, or put in a prompt in neural blender. So I have to adjust to performing the entire thought process physically, slowly and tediously trying to figure out what I’m imagining before I can really get started. Those old art tutorials for constructing shapes and bodies and such just aren’t coming naturally anymore so I have to dredge deep into my mind to remember which advice helped “click” the best and knowing it might not do it this second time around. It’s like if you forgot how to ride a bike. It was something natural to you, you could even get started haphazardly and distracted and still be able to tell where you were going and not fall over or trip on yourself, but now it’s like you have to focus on each step and it constantly feels like it’s taking everything you have to not crash. I’m glad I can start drawing again, but it hurts that something so huge in my life has been turned into this. I’ve ranted about it before it’s just easier to notice when you’re not sketching out people’s pets or doing super stylized doodles.

when technically you and other fans agree on a character's mental health in general premise but they only ever get written with the more sympathetic traits of whatever diagnosis... not hate and hell but like. mild dislike and faintly irritating purgatory on the planet earth

So I wrote this and also drew the flowers so here it is, it's about Geordi and Data preparing for their first date, and also it's about some flowers that I made up

Geordi looked through the replicator's selection of flowers. None of them seemed to be right. Now that he was actually here, he didn't know what to do. He hadn't actually expected Data to say yes. He didn't know what he'd expected. There were a thousand thoughts flying through his head and he tried to block them out by focusing on the flowers. Then he saw them. Kathanian daisies. They were a warm yellow with dark red stems, each of the seven petals was a perfect square, and they produced a bright glow that couldn't be seen by the average human eye, but both Geordi and Data would be able to see. Although Data would never admit it, Geordi was sure he'd seen him smiling when they'd seen some of these flowers on an away mission on the planet they came from.

Data stood in his quarters. If he had been capable of it, he would most certainly have been incredibly nervous as he prepared for his date with Geordi. Geordi had been nervous, when he had asked Data to go on the date. He considered whether he should change his clothes. What would Geordi be wearing? It was customary to bring flowers on a date. He decreased the speed at which the screen above the replicator showed him the possible flower choices. At this speed it would take him 7 minutes 12 seconds to see them all. He had exactly 18 minutes 42 seconds before the time he had agreed to meet Geordi. Data had never asked Geordi what his favourite flowers were. It had never come up. Perhaps he should ask all his friends at some point, although he did not believe there would be a similar situation where he would need to give any of them flowers. He remembered being on the planet Kathano where he and Geordi had been part of the away team, Geordi had seemed to appreciate the flowers that they had seen there. He skipped through the list to find them, and pressed the button to order them. He decided to wear his uniform. He had observed that an average of 63.21% of the people in Ten Forward were wearing their uniform at any time he had been there. He left his quarters and headed to Ten Forward. Geordi was not there yet. Data was 7 minutes 36 seconds early. He had observed that the table in the back corner was usually the one chosen by couples on dates, and decided to sit at it. He placed the flowers on the table in front of him and waited.

Geordi ordered the flowers, then looked towards Ten Forward. They'd agreed to meet at eighteen hundred hours, which was in about five minutes. Even from two decks away. Geordi could make out a faint glowing outline of Data, who appeared to be sitting down. He picked up the flowers and left his quarters. He could feel his heart pounding as he stepped out of the turbolift and walked the short way down the corridor. The doors opened to admit him. Data was sitting at a table near the back corner, one which offered a wonderful view out of the windows, and a small amount of privacy. Geordi walked over, a little unsteady with nerves. He felt his face grow hot as he noticed the bouquet of flowers laid on the table was identical to the one in his hands.

hm. ik this show is rigged but i didn’t know it was THAT rigged. so w*nhee has been performing all stages since the beginning with a backtrack and the judges keep complimenting her on it despite her obviously not singing during some of it. and yet other trainees are actually singing live and the judges keep calling them out for not singing well/being unstable.

Fave part of browsing aita-type subs is when some absolute horrendous parent has the gall to ask "am i in the wrong?? :'(" and get torn to shreds in the comments

fascinating lens on taylor's goings on in s6 there re: Romance. epic win that they have rian turn them down but i'm also really not sure why they did. oh you know, rian who's always defined by being so prudent [montage of actually pretty much everything seemingly defining rian has been pretty anti prudent] like ok w/e

but we start out with taylor Particularly Unmotivated By Work and instead watching a The Bachelor beach proposal which involves extasis through this Reality(tm) pastiche of romance. i am assuming. wherein the journey Ends with this transcendent all-consuming joy upon the realization of said Romance for one contestant. then when their somehow still bestie mafee (relevant tangents about how all taylor's relationships seem to involve their having an approach where they have low standards like "well but i guess this is all i can get / expect" including that they can't even necessarily expect shit they like/enjoy/are at all supported by, while readily accepting whatever blame/reproach from others) is like "gee but are you really happy" they're apparently inspired to pursue happiness by pursuing romance. which they seem to consider is possible only through rian, intriguing here when the entire basis of their dynamic seems to be [trapped in work hell together] like boy we have nothing outside our jobs? i sure hope we can be Everything to each other then :) and how it's even more baffling that rian is completely unbaffled by this development when you might operate on some assumptions like "you should have ever seemed to enjoy any interactions you've ever had" to consider choosing more vulnerability and more time / effort spent on this relationship, and "you also don't need to have Found Fault with someone / otherwise have some grievances or dislike of them to not want to date them" especially if rian's apparent sense of responsibility for taylor's theoretical negative feelings about rejection supposedly doesn't involve thinking about any power dynamics, she just feels the need to repeatedly reassure them she'd actually Love to date or have sex but she's just so set on not dating through work, b/c of the complications, that she's never considered not having casual sex with bosses and also never mentioned this stance to turn down winston nor done anything but revel in how he might feel about even being rejected as a conversational partner. too prudent to mention it. certainly also a relevant matter that it Need Not Be Explained to anyone that winston for one is excluded as a potential Romantic partner for pretty much everyone i guess. whilest as this potential mirror to taylor, he's not only considering specifically rian w/"we're similar; let's hang out; i'd like to have sex maybe even" (though winston's sexuality, like his communicative capacities, is also simply Not Allowed) but also seems to be like "i guess this is all i can get / expect" or hanging on for a long time to the possibility of Otherwise at his own expense or taking blame / whatever pretty egregious treatment like. taylor being willing to talk to wendy still is akin to winston still being willing to talk to rian. though maybe that's changed by the end of s6; it'd be very warranted after the pretty make or break [rian & winston Share An Interest; hang out outside work about it] moment there and also after Everything Else on its own, just like how it'd be very warranted if taylor expecting Nothing Better from wendy could turn into their hardly being willing to interact

anyways, sure is fortunate for taylor (or is it???) that Work becomes more enriching for them suddenly, and through someone with whom they have this promising personal dynamic with, a Peer with whom, in fact, they do both seem to find reward in interacting with each other / want and choose to do so, imagine, while [reiterating for emphasis]: they are both finding reward in interacting and feeling Complementary rather than only seeing exactly themself in each other, while having this respect for each other and flexibility and knowing they don't Have to work together, and may not always be doing so.

but most to the point it sure is something that the season starts off with taylor being dissatisfied with their work situation and responding by not being at work and instead watching people be overjoyed about their (also, relevantly, Peak Normal Correct Cishet) romance, though they don't outright claim to straightforwardly enjoy this. then they Do outright claim to us repeatedly, if ever begrudgingly, that everything rian does is worthy &/or sympathetic (and totally comprehensible and consistent so as to believably retain any sense of Character....) while every time they interact, it's a business meeting and one or both of them is unhappy about some part of it. but then once taylor's asked to think about their happiness Beyond Work they apparently are simply motivated to go ask someone out, and it may as well be rian For Lack Of A Better Option really, but then there's the wrench of "for some reason rian is unsurprised and not at all put off by this, or even just somewhat confused" and "for some reason rian's like 'sorry but no. fr im soooo sorry'" with these perspectives of [happiness Outside Work = romance] and [someone deemed Objectively Worthy = you'd of course at least consider romance, or else you must think actually they're Unworthy in some way, or have some more general Reason you'd reject others categorically in just the same way] (rian rejecting winston for unworthiness so much that she doesn't even need to bother actually telling him as much; rejecting taylor for [i don't date through work] with followups to reassure them it's Not the unworthiness) (that on and off paper winston & taylor have no reason to not be kissing but i think we can assume that won't happen, b/c billions itself may also assume we understand that [winston is unworthy] is just true. &/or that anyone Worthy understands as much)

so hoping that taylor has Some kind of enriching lasting relationship with philip, truly, which was the hopes for winston and rian but the updated hope is his enriching lasting disengagement with rian, f
