Ds9 characters describe Julian as an "overgrown child" but really what happened is he had his actual childhood stolen away from him and is now trying to reclaim what he missed out on now that he's in a more accepting environment

song about something you'll never be forgiven for.
beepbox link here, and a singalong under the read more :''-)
starting point
"…so don't look back"
i took your hand and led you astray
into the light i fear i might have made
a fatal mistake
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
i couldn't ask
i only hope that sinners are saved
but in all honesty, my honor keeps me
somewhat afraid
walk in a straight line
don't dare look behind
♫♫♫
i had a dream
we tried to reach the finishing line
but in the silence still the time we killed
had come back to life
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
the signs had merged
into a single "end of the world"
where every undead thing was damned to sing
"esrever ni gnos a"
walk in a straight line
…tell me that you're fine
♫♫♫
walk in a straight line (walk in a straight line)
don't dare look behind (don't dare look behind)
tell me that you're fine (something that had died)
you're still breathing right? (are you satisfied?)
walk between the lines (how to save a life)
don't dare look behind (change the ending line)
reach the end this time (tell a little lie)
bring me back to life…
♫♫♫
if i'd look back
and held the hands that led me astray
into the light i'd proudly cry
"this is my final mistake"
walk with me this time
walk with me this time
i should have asked
i know the answer's somewhat cliché
but was it worth the price and worth the pain?
you're fading away—
walk with me this time
bring me back to life…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if you'd look--

Decided to get silly and draw the inverse of the iconic "Victory Soldier" poster. And make it Heavymedic, of course.
Inspiration, progress pics, and alt versions under the cut
This poster! Always been a fan.
Initially I was gonna keep the same setting & color scheme, but the original poster distinctly has the top two thirds warm tones/bottom third cool tones. If I wanted to keep the piece cohesive it'd have to be RED Heavymedic vs BLU Soldier. And the more I thought about that the less it felt explicitly like Heavymedic fanart and more like propaganda for the RED team.
So I set it on Snowycoast! Its sky box and layout let me have cool top thirds/warm bottom third. Also it's one of the most beautiful maps in the game and I love drawing night scenes. Literally no downsides.
Progress pics!
Textless version, and an alt text version I made at the request of a friend:
And finally, since you've reached the bottom, some memes I made while working on it.
:)

so i've seen multiple AU stories where cass comes to gotham early, meets one of the other batkids and bonds with them. i've seen several with either jason or tim, and one with steph.
i want to put them all together. an alternate universe where cass comes to gotham early and runs into a bunch of kids who promptly imprint on her like lost ducklings. she doesn't know why they've attached themselves to her; she still can't comprehend language let alone communicate.

Actually I'm very tempted to write a one shot of Shaxs trying to help Mariner through her war trauma. Like we know the crews mental health is something he takes very seriously, and he's the only other character in the show that we know for certain has fought on the front lines of a war. It's actually kind of odd to me that they aren't a more common friendship/ mentor pairing

man on the one hand: i am doing so bad at. actually doing nano. it turns out that after writing full-tilt since like july, the moment i got to put it down for a minute my brain and body went "no. take break. take break NOW."
on the other hand: as soon as the exchange i'm in gets out of the anon period it's all over for you let me tell you,

Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --
CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan.
JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.
Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.
Here, take a minute:
First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.
This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT
Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.
There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.
Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.
Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.
