#even if it's two lines of dialogue

[startrekdescribed]

hi!! i’m trying to make my star trek blog accessible and i’ve got a question if you don’t mind. i’ve been adding alt text (using tumblr’s alt text feature) to all my images and gifs as i post them, but i’m not sure if that works on tumblr bc i’ve noticed you’ve added a couple of descriptions to posts of mine with alt text already there. is alt text actually visible or should i be putting the gif / image descriptions in the caption instead? thank u in advance!!

Hello hello.

Okay, so, I had a moment on main a few weeks ago, where I was going to reblog an undescribed post and add a description to it because there wasn't one at all, but instead of reblogging I accidentally clicked on the OP, which showed the post actually had alt text added to it. Now, I don't know if it was always there or if OP had added it at a later date after my mutual had queued it, or perhaps, Tumblr had glitched out and the alt text just wasn't showing up at all except for on the original post.

That's why I copy and paste alt text.

It's always best to go with a plain text caption, sometimes alt just doesn't work, sometimes the clash of colours is inaccessible, sometimes the great big paragraph is too much for people. I have Irlen's Syndrome, I can't read a giant paragraph of alt text because the words begin to blur and move and I'll lose my spot constantly. Sometimes it's just inaccessible.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you want, it's no problem.

Although, does anyone know if the alt text disappears when the original poster deactivates?

Elliott thought it would be a good idea to bring variation to single men’s food life. So he established this club, where they would all trade food they cook. Maybe once a week.

How nice it is if it brings positive things to their life. Like encouraging them to cook new dishes, enhance their recipe with tips & tricks from each other, having something to look forward to, & having reason to do a lot more socialization.

It might start as a club for older single men, which includes Clint, yes Elliot would encourage him to join -- even the older folks if they want to.

But who knows Kent might be interested to join to, to distracts him from the thoughts as this club seems like a good therapy for those who are a bit sad.

And maybe! Other married men too, even if they are happy! xD

Okay SO I've never Bad Batch posted beyond reblogs but there's two episodes left and I'm going insane so my big giant theory for why the finale is titled The Cavalry Has Arrived with a sprinkle of Tech is Alive Yes I Am Delusional:

Tonight's episode is going to end with the Batch, Omega's gang, and CX-2 all colliding in one of the hallways.

Big Western faceoff, tumbleweed, yadda yadda y'know.

Right before the shooting starts, CX-2 tells them their escape plan through whatever hallway they're planning is strategically ill-advised, because *insert tactical explanation here*

Hunter: "Oh yeah? What, you trying to help us or something? No thanks."

CX-2: "It was worth the attempt. It's not as if we've ever followed orders anyway."

BIG PAUSE, CLOSE UP MONTAGE OF EVERYONE AS THE WORDS SINK IN

Omega: "...Tech?!"

Tech: *removes helmet to reveal it's him* "Well, I thought it was obvious. Shall we liberate some clones together, then?"

SMASH CUT, ROLL CREDITS, THE CALVARY HAS ARRIVED BECAUSE THE *ENTIRE* BATCH IS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THEY'RE GONNA SAVE THE CLONES.

end conspiracy theory rant. 🥴

Me fighting the urge to talk about darry and paul I fear

[silver-horse]

it really annoys me that during Astarion's confession scene there isn't a dialogue option to just say "I knew you were dishonest from the beginning" there are multiple shocked/surprised responses and that's especially ridiculous given the fact that he is now even more fake sounding than he was in early access.

I can’t stop thinking about this one exchange between Joel & Ellie in the official trailer

Ellie: “If you don’t think there’s hope for the world, why bother going on?”

Joel: “You haven’t seen the world, so you don’t know. You keep going for family.”

Ellie: “I’m not family?”

Joel: “No. You’re cargo.”

THAT IS SO LAST OF US. It’s Joel neglecting to be recipient towards Ellie by belittling her inexperience and dehumanizing her. He’s denying her humanity and downright EXISTENCE by ascribing her to something as trivial as mere baggage, making her out to be entirely insignificant. Which is obviously all a front for Joel to shield himself from emotionally opening up at the risk of getting hurt again, but that barrier all the more stings knowing that Ellie requires love and validation. She craves her own purpose for existence, but Joel invalidated that by writing her off as a thing rather than a person.

do you two know each other’s favorite colors

Sheesh, my bad, didn’t know you hated my main man red so much!

I don’t—I don’t hate it. It is simply not my favorite; that’s what the original question was about, was it not?

Well, what is it then?

What?

What’s your favorite?

…

…

…

Seriously? It’s way too late to pretend like you don’t have one! You already said it wasn’t red, so what is it!

…

…Pink. And green. It’s a pleasant color combination—if I recall correctly, they are…they are...They go well together.

No lie, those are pretty swag colors…….so what about mine?

Yours?

Do you know my favorite color?

Of course I don’t, why would I?

You’re such a bad friend, man!

We are not friends.

Hope you got a pen nearby ‘cause you better be writing this down: I like……………..ALL colors! My favorite is everrrrrrryyyyy color!

Absolute nonsense. How is every single color your favorite? Do you even know what that word means? It—

Oh, so you can like pink and green, but I can’t like every color? Huh?

It’s only two compared t—

But doesn’t ‘favorite color’ imply that, whatever it may be, it is a singular hue? Isn’t it atrociously incorrect for you to list two separate colors? Shouldn’t—

Stop it. I do not sound like that.

Yeah, yeah, and your favorite color isn’t red, we’ve all heard it

IT IS NOT—

Karlach After Lorroakan Fight (Gortash Dead)

[augustjustice]

Sunday Six

Harrington flips his Ray-Bans up into his hair, the portrait of popular high school douchebag that Eddie remembers all too well from last year. But the soft-looking baby blue sweater he’s sporting, combined with the way he impatiently ushers Henderson, Wheeler, and Sinclair into the Beemer with a hand on his hip, sinks some fairly sizable cracks into the overall effect. 

When he catches Eddie’s gaze, there’s a weariness in his eyes that has Eddie fighting down an instinctual shit-eating grin, anticipating whatever nasty jibe the former king is about to throw his way. He almost feels bad. It’s gonna be a pretty bad shock for Dustin. But, better the kid sees his hero’s true colors now rather than later. 

Instead, Steve’s head dips in a tired nod, a stiff but not impolite acknowledgement. 

“Munson.”

Eddie’s mama had run off before his folks got the chance to get a divorce, but, he imagines this might have been what that would have looked like, the pair of them passing him off between them with an icy sort of cordialness every other weekend.

(That’s not fair. If it had been his parents, there would have been a helluva lot more yelling, an a helluva lot less civility than Harrington’s showing him now.)

It throws off whatever snide remark Eddie had been gearing up to toss back. He feels wrong-footed, tugging a strand of hair into his face partially to hide his wide-eyed expression.

“Uh, yeah. Hey, Harrington.”

Lore - which is actually incoherent with the rest of the series but who cares

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

To be honest the dialogue in twd is absolute ass sometimes but the actors deliver their lines with so much conviction that it kinda slips by. You yell that convoluted sentence with your whole cunt, girl.

6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."

(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails. Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:

My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.

Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)

Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them
