[orcelito]

Salty bitch in me sooooo satisfied by the fact that I probably make more money than the person who made my life hell last year lmfaooooo

[bubble-you]

so my new gender presentation is Joey and Amber

new mannerisms based on Joey

i think Joey a lot but Amber i guess if i need to be femme

but he's a prison-experience guy, a line cook, and a jersey guy, and it's not cool for a young person to copy that -- those associations don't actually help! but it's so fucking fun to swear and do the italian hand gestures and shorten words

he's nothing to me without being in love though, he's nothing without being soft for some younger adult

maybe i'll figure out why i like all these older guys

i guess~ ^-^

the way i balance staying true to my tumblrina nature while also having a job and bills and rent is that at work while cleaning a room ill think of something id like to post and then repeat it over and over in my head and refine it until it sounds right and then i either post it as soon as i get a second to Or i forget it bc i think of anew post to make. and they always get 0 notes but its ok

I actually had the worst day I’ve had in awhile now but i survived it

The apparently obvious solution to the Tuvix problem seems to be “create a Tuvix transporter clone, duh!”

Tuvix is already a transporter accident. Who’s to say he can be put through the transporter again without irreparable harm? As it is, the crew is hesitant to use the transporter until they understand exactly what happened. The orchid added an unstable element to the transporter process when Neelix and Tuvok were initially beamed up. Does Tuvix even have stable DNA? Are Vulcan and Talaxian physiology comparable long term? Will Tuvok’s ailment progress more quickly as Tuvix? Tuvix also doesn’t practice the emotional restraint that Vulcans do, so would his negative emotions be difficult to handle? We know Tuvok has a thread of repressed violent tendencies, and we simply don’t know much about Talaxians beyond what Neelix shares. Also, orchids can be pretty fussy (if they’re anything like Earth orchids) and that adds another unknown into the equation. Does the plant physiology affect the humanoid in any way? There are too many variables.

Most people seem to agree it should be a Riker-style transporter clone. The TOS transporter accidents ended up with disparate personalities, and tragically the dog clones didn’t survive the reintegration. We get “good Kirk” and “evil Kirk” but neither can function as a complete person.

Can we really say that Thomas Riker doesn’t exhibit the same kind of emotional divergence that Kirk had to a lesser degree? Thomas Riker joined the Maquis, which Will Riker would never do. With Riker we can get into the argument of nature vs. nurture, since Will got out of the situation whereas Thomas was left trying to figure out how to survive on a planet alone and isolated.

Then we look at the Boimler clones, who are Riker-style transporter accidents created in the same way and even paying homage to Riker himself. We see a similar slight emotional divergence between the two Boims. William Boimler (Titan clone) seems more self assured and an edge more ruthless, and he quickly lets Brad take the fall back to ensign. Brad thought they would both try to let the other take the assignment on the Titan, but that’s not the case. With the Boimler clones, we don’t have the nature/nurture argument that happens with the Riker clones. They are immediately slightly different. Brad seems to lose some of his confidence - is it situational or because of the cloning?

Maybe the transporter clones are exact copies of the same person without inherit differences due to the process. If it were a safe process, surely someone somewhere in the Federation would have started experimenting with transporter cloning? Even if they had, it’s ethically a bit dodgy.

In conclusion, we don’t know enough about transporter cloning to waste Voyager’s precious resources on an experimental process that might not even work. It could even make the situation worse.

i want a Karis Nemik poster to put on my wall with quotes from episode 5.

[lesbianlenas]

literally sooooo fucking fireeeeeee i cannot believe how insane this is

[grapecaseschoices]

How about 5, 20, and 31 for the ship of your choice?

5. Describe their cozy night in.

you mean in book six that’ll come out in my 50s? i would say working on cars. val loves working on their car, motorbikes, etc. and i learned very recently adam has that hobbie too! so val would actually be low key (high key) estatic about this. so i could see them workin on a garage on stuff.

alternatively, i could see them binging the ff franchise. adam probably has a strong hate / love relationship with them. especially after felix makes the dom and adam comparisons.

20. Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship.

Again, I am better at quotes but THANKFULLY i have been working on a playlist for them for MONTHS (still fiddling). I WOULD say it is PROBABLY From Eden by Hozier.

31. Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.)

Mostly. Adam finally allowing himself to touch the detecive is probably the star eyes emoji. However, I don't think Val would ever fully get over their awks re: displays of affection. So feel some moments, it's like deliberate smack of Adam's ass because 1. it annoys him 2. bro! 3. look at that, that's MY MAN but anything like Adam putting his hands on their shoulder, or tilting their head up for a kiss would make them into a flustering mess and they have a REP DU MORTAIN!

So, I feel it's probably casual (or Val being a gremlin) touches unless they forget themselves (ie, grabbing onto Adam when they're afraid or want comfort). So, in short, more slight knee touching over laced fingers.
