coraline anomaly au stuff. mostly hands. don’t judge them, I had no reference for any of them lmao
As for the doll, I like to think that Other Reader made a Sans one originally to lure him, but then after he gets to know them better they get to know each other, Sans asked them to make one of themselves. (he may or may not cuddle with it to help him sleep. shhhh, it’s a secret.)
enjoy while I attempt to finish writing things for this au. just a small thing (that probably will uh. not be small when I’m finally done with it) for an ask and also MAYBE something to expand on how Sans got a doll of Other Reader :]

radfem question!!
i'm having a conversation with someone about female only spaces (this specifically pertains to bathrooms) and they said that the rule of having female-only bathrooms would "act more like an enforcement of femininity more than anything else."
I think their point is about butch lesbians and/or women who present "masculinely," and so because there is ofc no female identification at the door, and policy would likely just make it more acceptable for women and girls to report if there was a male in the bathroom (without having to determine if the male identifies as a woman), this could end up hurting "masculine"-presenting women (implying that they could be mistaken as male), and in turn just reinforce femininity. Thoughts? (mine are in tags)

Do we think Seven can feel all of her face and body?
The Borg know when things happen in the collective and can arguably feel them, but when an individual is severed from the Borg, that expansive collective consciousness is violently narrowed down to a pinpoint. We know Seven has pretty good proprioception because she agrees that her shoulder hurts when the EMH finds that her biradial clamp is off by 0.3 microns. Because of this, she arguably has a very good understanding of how things in her body feel. That said, she doesn't really complain about physical pains, and we really only see her struggle when things are emotionally difficult.
Since she had been in the collective since she was 6, she wouldn't necessarily know that certain sensations are not normal. If there were any issues that happened as a result of her assimilation, she wouldn't necessarily know they are unusual after she was severed because that's what she has always known.
So back to my original question: can she feel all of her face? Looking at the placement of her facial implants, they are both on the trigeminal nerve. The cheekbone implant is right around the root of the nerve, and the eyebrow piece sits right over another branch. Trigeminal neuralgia is crazy painful, but she could have trigeminal neuropathy and think it's completely normal because she doesn't have a typical baseline to compare it to. I imagine the Borg implants must interrupt some nerve functioning to ensure that the drones move as they are supposed to, and the nano probes would repair any damage that would affect their functioning. But the Borg would consider physical discomfort irrelevant, so relatively minor issues like neuralgia, pins and needles, or any other unusual sensations would not be considered an issue.

I had a dream the other night that there was an alternate kylar dismissal event at lower love where if you got with a different LI kylar would just start shipping you two... like in the dream kylar was drawing like sydney x my pc yaoi and that's what you'd find in their locker instead of a shrine to the pc. Stalking you two on dates etc. It was so silly like early 2000s anime style

Hi!! I was really interested in your point of view regarding the pre fall scene, I haven't seen anyone talk about it in that way before. Why / how does it change their relationship?
To me, what makes the whole of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship so meaningful is that these are two old, supernatural beings whose entire (love) story takes place on Earth. They met, they made their homes, they fell in love, all of this on Earth. And that's just the foundation of their relationship and story to me.
For Aziraphale, this means that Crowley-the-demon is the ONLY version of Crowley that he's known. In Eden, he lifts up his wing over Crowley to shield him from the rain and this scene is so impactful because it's an angel reaching out and protecting this demon he just met, someone who should be his enemy, right after the Fall of Man. It comes from Aziraphale's kindness alone. Season 2's pre-Fall scene cheapens this by having Crowley protect Aziraphale first, which just makes it seem like in Eden Aziraphale is just repaying the favor.
In season one, when Aziraphale says "you were an angel once," it is meant as this nebulous thing. All demons were once angels, he means. All demons have the capacity to be good. Aziraphale is in denial that Heaven is anything but Good, but he at least is aware that Heaven doesn't hold the monopoly on it. After season 2's pre-Fall scene, this changes the context to "I remember what you were like in Heaven, and you could be that again." And this is enforced when Aziraphale, in season two, says "I know the angel that you were." Which leaves such a fucking bad taste in my mouth.
Aziraphale does not believe that Crowley is good because he was an angel once. He knows Crowley is good because ever since he met this demon on the walls of Eden, Crowley has expressed sympathy with the plight of humanity and has done what he can to help, even when it puts him in direct danger from Hell.
Before season 2 came out, when we just had the book and season one to go off, the Eden scene was Aziraphale and Crowley's first meeting. Period. We could play around in the sand-box of "what if they did know each other before the Fall?" and it was fun! I liked some of those fics! But I never wanted it to be canon because I always felt deeply that that just isn't what Aziraphale and Crowley's story is about.
And you could say, well, I like the pre-Fall scene because it shows that Aziraphale has known every version of Crowley, but he prefers this version, the demon with yellow snake eyes who does good and tries to hide it. And that's a fair interpretation! But I still think that it's just making the best of what we've got.
Crowley and Aziraphale treasure earth and humanity so deeply. I think that their story should start on earth, watching over the humans they love so much. That's the story I prefer.
