So I know we here at Startrekfandom love that "came back wrong but from the pov of the wrong" thing and apply it to many different characters and canon situations and I am far from trying to complain about it (I'm "came out wrong" trope myself so I was always gonna obsess over it) but having recently watched a very important episode (you'll know which one) for the first time I think there's a character who hits both tropes mentioned but llike, intertwined, opposite and subverted, and whom I wanna talk about.

Julian Bashir.

From his parents' pov he's "came out wrong but we got him help and he came back better" while from his own pov it's "came out 'insufficient', was destroyed for it, came back wrong and only later slowly came to terms with his new self tho never the process (justifiably so)" and it's heartbreaking because in a way, he's right! Jules Bashir died! His parents had an intellectually disabled child and decided to eugenics him! Julian is not the person he used to be and while I do love the person he is now, that doesn't bring back who he was! Part of me wishes we could've gotten to see Jules at least once and part of me hopes we never do because my heart would shatter.

This isn't a good comparison but nonetheless one I can't help drawing: it's giving similar vibes to anti-vaxxers. "I'd rather risk having a child who is dead than one who's autistic". Obviously this doesn't map over since Julian is still autistic and the procedure his parents subjected him to specifically targeted his intellectual disability and if any folks with id wanna comment on this I definitely recommend you listen to them over me, but it's a similarity I, as an autistic who has encountered anti-vaxxers again and again, can't help but point out. "Give me a normal child or give them death."

This may have been written about already but there needs to be stories about teenage Julian (after finding out and rediscovering who he was) practicing some good ol' recognition of the self through media. I need to hear about how he would encounter a story about someone who came back wrong (I'm gonna assume there's plenty of "wrong" pov stories floating around by the 24th century) and absolutely weep. I need to see Julian mourning Jules, taking years and years to process his feelings, experiencing guilt about how he, the imposter, didn't deserve to live Jules' life.

Came back wrong from the returned's pov but it wasn't an accident. It was done to you deliberately by the people who claim to love you. And now you are here, piloting the corpse of your predecessor.

Jules Bashir is dead. Long live Julian Bashir.

Does anyone know where I can find the good quality version of this image? It's so frustrating because when cross searching on google it'll tell me the original quality is 850x478, but I can't find a way to download it in that quality. This is another version of the image (I'm guessing it's Mayoi promo art):

But I liked the clean white background one...

This is probably a little silly but I really wanted to send a message to say thank you for creating amazing art and keeping at this blog for years, and being such an inspiration to me and probably hundreds of other artists. I started reading TPOH and following your blog when I was a teenager and was obsessed and loved it SO much (we've actually met, once. My name is Farren and when I was seventeen in 2013 I think, don't hold me to the year lol I can't remember for sure, I made an RGB costume and met you at MCM expo in London - You were dressed as Mary Poppins I think. I was definately very socially awkward and felt like I was meeting a celebrity at the time lol). I have one of the signed first volumes of TPOH still on my bookshelf, sort of tatty from wear now. Back then I wanted to be an artist so much but school had sort of killed my love for it and I was a bit directionless. The effect of having a professional artist online in a space I shared, and the informality of it - the way you did your own personal work and had worked with animation companies working on communal projects and also did fanart, it took away the very dull, serious, intimidating view I had of the art industry, gave it a more informal, human face - and inevitably it inspired me to go to art school. I'm now a professional illustrator and write and illustrate kids books, I've had seven published, both fiction and non-fiction so far, and I'm loving it. Teenage me never would have considered that drawing silly, goofy things and writing funny little stories could be a career, young me never would have dreamed I could have a job doing something like my idols did. I'm so greatful for the inspiration you gave me back then, and I'm still keeping up with TPOH and being inspired by your work now, and I know there's hundreds if not thousands of other people out there in the same boat. It's a little out of the blue to send a message now so many years on; I don't even have a tumblr these days. But I discovered recently that my little cousin wants to go to art school because of me, and I thought it funny how inspiration works. I wonder what she'll grow up to create, and who she'll some day inspire to go into the arts - and how long the legacy of inspiring others will go even long after we've passed. It reminded me to come and say thank you for letting me be a part of that chain.

a) YES I REMEMBER YOU

b) SEND ME A DM

VERSE DROP ! VILLAIN AU.

this is a failed mirror verse idea that i couldn't bring to fruition since it didn't consider ALL others characters are also as mirrored as Jim would be, but i'll go ahead and make this a separate, au verse in case anyone wants to write conflict based threads. this is a what if scenario based on the following taking place : in AOS Into Darkness, the scene in which Jim tries to have admiral Marcus spare the lives of his crew and offers himself as the sole responsible party. instead of admitting to his intentions of destroying the Enterprise, he actually does bring Jim ( subsequently Khan along with him ) aboard USS Vengeance as prisoners. Scotty never makes it on time to reach the crew, and in the fight that ensues, the Enterprise along with Khan's people are completely destroyed. the pain of losing his entire crew changes Jim to the point he joins Khan on a shared quest to destroy the entirety of Starfleet. what Marcus does makes him question the integrity of the Federation and in the agony of his anger and rage, he agrees to be genetically modified / engineered in a Khan-like fashion at the first chance they get. eventually, they do destroy Starfleet, but it is not enough. the further enhancements applied to them both elongate their lifespan, strengthen their bodies, and slow down their aging significantly. it takes them a few centuries to bring down the Federation. just like it happens on the mirror verse episode of TOS, this Kirk is thrown into the regular st universe ( centuries back, yay for time displacement also for my convenience ) as we know it where Starfleet still exists via a displacement occurring during an ion type magnetic storm. when the transporter malfunctions, the villain Kirk finds himself aboard the Enterprise with his crew that he had lost centuries ago STILL ALIVE. he refuses to leave, taking on a quest to destroy Starfleet in this universe as well before looking for a way to return to his own.

Simon -Ghost- Riley...

"(...) Ghost’s real name is Simon Riley and he grew in Manchester, England and he grew up a really bad childhood. His brother was really mean to him and always would wear a skull mask at night to scare Simon. Simon’s father was really abusive towards Simon and often made him do really screwed up things. Apparently Ghost was a apprentice butcher at a grocery store but joined the military due to the 9/11 attacks. He eventually joined the SAS. However, when returning home a few years later, he found his brother and mother in really bad conditions. The brother took drugs and kept stealing from his mom to keep having the drugs. Simon didn’t return to the military until he had changed and helped his family get back on their feet. Simon got them back to good and his brother had a wife and kid. Now here’s the really messed up parts. Simon was tasked with taking down the Zaragoza Drug Cartel who was ran by Manuel Roba. He and his team were going to make a move on them until the team’s commanding officer, Vernon, betrayed and ratted out the team. Simon and his team were tortured in brainwashing facilities for months. Vernon couldn’t break Simon and ended up ordered to die by Roba. Simon was buried alive with Vernon and broke out with Vernon’s jawbone due to Vernon’s rotting corpse. Simon ended up crossing the border to Texas and got healed from injuries but suffered from temper-management issues which didn’t allow him to return back to active duty. He later met up with two of his former teammates, Sparks and Washington but he found out that they were both broken and brainwashed by Roba. He ended up trying to kill Sparks but Washington interfered. He returned to his home to find his mother and his brother and his family all dead. He killed Sparks and Washington and then went on his journey to find and kill Roba. He worked solo and killed Roba and his men and ended up being recruited by General Shepard to join Task Force 141."
