WE HAVE TO DREAM IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. it's all about the hugs baby

[ffcrazy15]

I need a whole fic where the Cerritos is mistaken for the Enterprise by some type of alien with very high intelligence but very poor visual recognition, for whatever reason.

And Freeman either can't or is too scared to convince them that they're not the Enterprise, so she starts desperately assigning everyone to various roles. Boimler gets assigned as Data, and since he and Mariner are the only people on the ship who play string instruments, the captain orders them to put together some sort of "symphony" because the aliens have heard that that's a thing on the Enterprise.

And it's just Mariner and Boimler frustratedly trying to figure out how to combine her electric guitar skills and his traditional violin skills into something suitably "symphonic" (i.e. thematically trying to combine her more lax/modern way of doing things with his more strict/traditional way).

Hello, I bring more of my Redacted Audio actor AU stuff from my notes:

• Caelum and Vega are brothers and have sort of an Angelina Jolie and her daughter from Maleficent type situation where Caelum was the only child actor that wasn't scared of Vega when in character.

• Kody's actor nearly cried on his last video appearance because he loves working with everyone so much.

• The cat that plays Aggro belongs to Guy.

• Every d(a)emon actor has had a horn fall off at least once.

• David and Hux went to the same high-school, so they recognized each other and bonded pretty quick.

• Sam's actor has a younger relative who goes to the same school as Caelum.

• Huxley has a long distance partner

• Geordie and Cutie's actors didn't know each other, but started dating after working together for a while.

• Damien will say the most out of pocket shit on set and act like he didn't say it.

• A lot of actors fell while running (especially in the Inversion).

• Kody will just start carrying other people (if he can) for no reason (Lasko is his main target).

On what I'm going to call "peer positioning" in witchcraft, and the scary empowerment it can bring you

I think a lot of people who get into witchcraft have a problem with being able to see themselves as peers & equals to the powers they cultivate around them.

I see this most often discussed when it comes to gods. "Just because your god asks you for something doesn't mean you need to do it!" Etc. I think we've all heard that.

But today my thoughts are on the tarot, and how some people seem to treat tarot readings as "the truth" or "the answer" that then must be followed, even if they (the living, breathing, human practitioner) don't really agree or don't really want to do that.

I'm really big on the analogy of a witch as a monarch, and the concept of various powers (like gods, spirits, tools, and spells) being counselors in the throne room.

In this context, it's easier to adopt the mindset that all of these powers have their own personalities, abilities, and goals - and that they can & will provide conflicting information when you ask for advice. (Especially ancestors - so opinionated!)

Imagine Captain Picard sitting in the meeting room with Geordi, Riker, and the rest of the space nerds.

Captain Picard is like, "the power core is failing and the away team is stranded on the planet. I think we should use the nebula to hide until the Gromflomites stop searching for us." And then Geordi is like, "but Captain, the engines would never make it! We have to go rescue the away team immediately!" And Captain Picard is like, "damn... Wow. I really wanted to go to the nebula, I thought it was the best choice :/ but if you're saying we literally don't have to worry about the Gromflomites..." Then Riker is like, "Captain, no. Geordi isn't saying the Gromflomites aren't a problem, he's just expressing his top concerns as Chief Engineer." And then Picard is all, "oh, so... this is conflicting information? Did that mean I did a bad reading on Geordi, or that negative spirits are stopping me from being able to communicate? Is Riker possibly a trickster?"

If you're captain of the ship, monarch of the kingdom, (etc.), then it might be important to ask yourself:

Am asking for input from my counsel of allied powers, and then making choices for myself?

Or, have I inadvertently signed over my decision-making process to these powers?

And I think it all kind of comes back to "peer positioning," or, witches being able to develop a spiritual framework within which they are equals to the powers around them.

Since beginning practicing witchcraft in earnest, I have often demanded a course of direction. Instead of asking, "how do I accomplish this?" I would ask, "what do I do?"

And the answer was the same every time, deeply infuriating, but also very scary: "Do whatever you think is best."

I think that's the problem of being the captain of the ship. Once your counselors are done giving their input, you are the one who has to make the final call.

Lately I've really been on a kick about witchcraft as a path of empowerment, and I think that viewing spiritual input as just that - input - is a vital part of the process.

Even if you are a true-blue believer in the magical power of tarot, tarot is still just one counselor sitting in your throne room.

Even if you have tutelary spirits, guardians and guides, gods and angels, providing blessings and support - they are not sitting at the head of the table.

You are.

I think that a framework of allied powers as peers and equals is relatively basic, and does have its flaws. But I also think it can be helpful in a variety of ways:

It can provide a system of understanding why allied powers can give conflicting advice, or even seemingly bad advice that doesn't align with our personal desires.

It can provide a tool for processing spiritual input.

It helps restore a sense of personal authority to a practitioner.

It can help a practitioner reclaim control of a path that's grown a mind of its own.

It aids in practicing that most oppressive of skills - liberated autonomy.

I just think it's something to consider. At the end of the day, most of us have probably got to make our own calls.

[I'm making this post because in the past few months I've been helping witches consult the tarot, and they've been giving feedback like, "so this is what I should do, right?" or, "what is it telling me to do?"

I can basically see the huge reblogs where people are explaining that a period of time where they signed complete personal autonomy over to their god was the most empowering and spiritually electric time in their lives,

and I want you to know, I'm not speaking about vows and oaths made to entities that gives them control over your life. I'm talking about situations where witches put down their autonomy so they can have both hands free to shuffle tarot.]

TNG Bridge Crew and how I imagine hugging them would be like

Picard: gives out one hug a year, it is a brief embrace with a clap on the back and then you are never allowed to speak of it again.

— Riker is usually the recipient of Picard’s annual hug, but only because he will push past people or make sure that nobody else remembers that it’s hug day to get it. Except for the one year after the Nova incident at Starfleet Academy, when he lets Wesley have the hug. The Boy needed it.

Riker: This. Man. Is. A. Hugger. It doesn’t matter if you’ve known him for ten minutes or ten years, the man is like Oprah with his hugs. “EVERYBODY GETS A HUUUUUUUG!” But honestly, with how much he cares about his crew, he is more than willing to give a hug to anyone who needs it (Deanna helps him determine which crew members both need a hug and would be receptive to them). And he gives the kind of hugs that squish your soul back into your body, and depending on the severity of the need for a hug he may add in anywhere from a gentle rocking from side to side or a kiss to the top of the head—with consent of course.

Data: fascinated by the concept of hugs and the physical and mental health benefits that they can provide. Has to be careful though. He once experimented by hugging Geordie and ended up bruising a couple of his ribs.

Deanna: is open to all forms of consensual physical affection. Thanks to her empathic abilities, she always knows who’s in need of a hug and how much they need it. And when she comes up to you and gives you that hug you so desperately need that you end up sobbing on her shoulder, she gently coaxes you to her office, and that’s how she gets you into therapy. Mental health matters y’all! Go to therapy.

Geordie: a hugger, but only with the people he knows really well. Definitely suffers from “nice guy” syndrome, but it’s not because he’s creepy, just autistic. What do you mean my offer of friendship was came across as a come on? How is watching ancient cartoons on the holodeck romantic? The people who do get to be on the receiving end of Geordie’s hugs say that they’re very nice, similar soul-squishing experience as Riker’s, just shorter and less frequent.

Beverly: similar to Geordie, she only hugs people she knows very well, because she strives to maintain an air or professionalism, since literally any crew member could wind up being a patient. Gives the typical mom hugs that usually accompany warm chocolate chip cookies straight out of the replicator.

Wesley: Wants Hugs. Needs Hugs. Deserves Hugs. Only gets hugs from his mom and maybe Riker. And Geordie one time. And of course, his singular Picard hug. But seriously, someone give Wesley hugs!

Worf: absolutely not a hugger. Worf values his personal space and will remind you of it if he even thinks you’re getting too close. But if he were a hugger, he would give the kind of hugs that lift you off your feet and crack your back.

Tasha: Given her upbringing, she is not a hugger and relatively touch-averse. But if she wants to show you affection, she will give your shoulders a gentle squeeze, accompanied with a nod of her head. Similar to a cat’s slow blink, you wouldn’t know it’s affection unless you know her, but if she does show it to you, consider yourselves lucky to be in her favor.

Commander Geordi LaForge beamed into a convention!

Among other things (including petting a baby dinosaur, repairing a Droid, meeting mermaids and a Turian, doing a quick graffiti, and contributing to two lightsaber battle Jedi victories while remaining unharmed), I found Data there... Hold on, has he been having secret Holmes game sessions without me?

And...

I met these guys! Their panel together was unhinged in the best way. 😆

They were excited to see me walk into the photo booth (I was the only Geordi at the big con). They exclaimed "Geordi! Geordi's here! Geordi, my friend!"

I got the professional photo signed by them all on Day 1 with a little time to talk with them. I also was able to catch them on Day 2 when their table lines were empty and have relatively long chats with them all one-on-one about various things.

I saw these and couldn't pass it up. So now I also have a new mission- meet LeVar Burton and have him sign his character shirt.

It was lovely meeting them. They're friendly and funny, just all-around great people. 💛

[autisticburnham]

Had a dream that in the 80s a rich superfan had produced three of his own animated episodes in the style of tas, largely consisting of the tos crew except that Geordi and Riker were also there, and he also produced his own accompanying doll line. And while the dolls were relatively easy to find, there were only a few vhs copies of the episodes and Paramount did their best to wipe it everytime they got uploaded to the internet, but I found one episode.

And I was like "This is a pretty alright, especially for a fan series. It could pass for a normal episode; I wonder why Paramount cracks down so hard on it," and through dream logic, everyone was even voiced by their actors. And then completely unprompted, Kirk said "I think we should have some fun," and then for the rest of the otherwise normal episode, every character had naturals bigger than Gandalf's and were wearing crop, halter, and bikini tops without it ever being commented on

[noosphe-re]

A transwarp conduit, also known as a transwarp corridor or a transwarp tunnel, was an artificially-created energy conduit through a realm of subspace known as transwarp space. The entrances of transwarp conduits bear many resemblances to subspace gateways. They were utilized by the Borg to cover great distances in a relatively short period of time. Accessed via tachyon pulses of alternating frequencies, the conduits contained a matter stream in which a vessel could reach velocities at least twenty times greater than the maximum warp speed of a Galaxy-class starship, in a process Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge described as "like falling into a fast-moving river and being swept away by the current." (TNG: "Descent", VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Shattered", DIS: "Su'Kal")

Geordi Audio Thoughts idk

Redacted Masterlist

Spoilers below the cut

1) It felt really wrong to be drawing demon boy tiddies while Geordi was crying. I’m gonna just come out an say that. But the tiddies are finished regardless.

2) GOOD FOR YOU GEORDI IM SO PROUD OF YOU MWAH BEST BOYO

3) Google where is ben and how can I kill him without anyone knowing

4) Serious talk because serious episode. 

Honestly I’m kinda proud of Cutie and Geordi for previously having a conversation about Cutie going to therapy. It means it isn’t just a forgiven and forgotten problem but they talked about getting help. And talking about going to therapy is a scary thing, especially if you’re the person seeking out that help. 

I’m going to say it again, I’m so proud of Geordi for putting his foot down about boundaries. It’s so hard to do with someone who you love. And idk about anyone else, but for me it’s easier to forgive a breach of trust and hurt emotionally versus physical harm. I still forgive them -because of my own stuffs- but it takes longer for me to forgive someone who physically places their hands on me in a harmful setting. So the fact he set that boundary in that way. Mwah so proud of him

Also Cutie, i’m so proud of them for coming clean. Because they probably could have kept it quiet and Geordi would have taken some time to be a Cutie apologist and life could have returned to relative normality for Cutie. But they felt guilty (which is a step in the right direction) for that breach of trust and privacy and told him. Which is scary, especially if you have that anxiety of not knowing what someone thinking or how they’re going to react. (Also that’s a common trauma response for someone who grew up with emotionally volatile parents. Hmm)

Also, despite Cutie not knowing how Geordi was going to react to the truth, they didn’t breach that boundary again. Bare minimum I know, but considering their past and their issues that’s something that makes me proud of them.

5) Uhm, character lore drop? Besides ben (no he doesn’t get a capital letter, he can fuck off) GEORDI HAS A SISTER? Older or younger? What’s her name? IS she in Dahlia or just outside of? City or suburb? I’m so curious and hungry for information.

I'm relatively new to the TNG fandom, so I'm not sure what the demand is like... but I'm searching for a Data/Geordi RP partner!

I am 24 and only RP with people who are 18+

I prefer to write multi-paragraphs stories with my partner. I don't mind shorter replies from time to time, but I personally tend to be very wordy!

While I would prefer to write Data, I am super willing to give Geordi a go!

I love AUs, but they're not necessary for a good time/story! :)

I only RP over Discord or email

What English accents do you think they’d have in Cyrodiil other than Yorkshire accents in Kvatch (according to a headcanon by @bretongirlwrites)?

Hope the bugs aren’t biting you too much

(so far no bites or signs of activity since arriving back in the flat!! we're hoping that's the end of it, but of course we'll remain vigilant for the next few weeks until we can be certain :))

anyway! interesting ask. i'm hesitant to map real life cultures 1:1 onto TES cultures, especially when cyrodiil is clearly based on a weird mixture of ancient rome and medieval italy (and when england finds its own TES 'equivalent' in High Rock), but for the sake of answering your ask I'll assume that Cyrodilic (or what the game calls 'common' or 'Tamrielic') is the same as English. This isn't too much of a stretch; if Old Cyrodilic is similar to Latin, it seems reasonable to imagine that Old Cyrodilic + Ancient Nordic + Bretonic languages (which I headcanon to be similar to languages from the Celtic family, with the addition of French) could result in something sounding like English.

so! Cyrods speak English. I'm going to hazard a guess that the Kvatch/Yorkshire comparison comes from Sean Bean being a Yorkshireman, which is cute so I'll leave that as is.

Going further, it would probably help to draw a boundary somewhere between northern and southern English accents. It seems obvious to draw that boundary between Colovia and the Niben. The climates obviously don't map very well, but in terms of culture and vibe, the north is seen as rugged, 'wild' and economically poor whilst the south(-east) is seen as 'civilised', 'cultured' and economically prosperous. Inverted commas because this is obviously a load of bollocks, though the economic disparity is definitely there.

So to start with, I think the Nibenay Basin accent would sound similar to Estuary English (also known as BBC English, received pronunciation, etc... basically what Americans think of when someone says ‘British accent’). Cyrodiil's financial, cultural and political power is concentrated in the Basin in the same way England's international influence is concentrated in London/around the Thames. The 'Basin accent' would be spoken by the Imperial City's upper classes and mimicked by aristocrats across the province, regardless of whether or not they actually hail from the Niben.

(more under cut)

Making a slight exception to the Colovia = North rule, I'm going to say that an Anvil/Gold Coast accent sounds like West Country English. This is because the West Country, whilst being in the south of England, has more in common with the north in terms of how it is viewed by south-easterners. West Country English is associated with farmers, agriculture, and rolling green hills. If you go far enough west, you find the Cornish accent, which I think seems appropriate for sunny, coastal Anvil. A famous example of West Country English would be Sam Gamgee from TLOTR.

I think the Colovian Highlands accent would sound like Cumbrian English. Cumbrian English is spoken in the mountainous Lake District, in the north-west of England and close to the Scottish border. It shares a border with Yorkshire which would make sense given the position of Kvatch, (though I think the Kvatch accent would probably bleed into the Heartlands).

I think the Skingrad/Heartlands accent would sound like (north) Derbyshire English. Derbyshire sits in the midlands, just south of Yorkshire. It is the home of the Peak District (where I'm from!), which is very 'Heartlands' in both vibe and location.

I think the Bruma/Jerall Mountains accent would sound like north-east/Geordie English. Don't ask me for an explanation, i simply feel it in my heart. A famous example of Geordie English can be found in Billy Elliot.

The Chorrol/Great Forest accent would sound like east-midlands English, which is more a group of accents than an accent in its own right, but the important thing is that it’s not as strong as most northern accents (relative to 'standard' / RP english), but is noticeably distinguished from SE English by the short 'A' in words like bath, laugh, grass etc.

Lastly, I think the Blackwood accent would sound like Black Country English. The Black Country also lies in the midlands, but has a very distinct (and strong) dialect of its own, not dissimilar from the brummy accent of Birmingham (made internationally recognisable by Peaky Blinders). This, in my mind, is analogous to the Blackwood's proximity with the Niben yet distinct cultural identity. The Black Country is seen in England as impoverished and uncultured, which I think fits with the negative stereotyping about the Blackwood in-game.

I'm not going to break down the various regions of the Niben because I think, like in the south-east of England, there would be less variety in accent. If you want to break the Imperial City down into its different districts, you could easily do so with the various accents of London (e.g. Waterfront Cyrodilic could sound like Cockney). In general, I think the upper-middle classes and the aristocracy will speak with a Nibenese accent no matter where they're from, in much the same way 'RP English' is seen as the universal 'middle-class' accent of England.

Hope this helps!

ep 11 of esgloau:ts coming out on 11/11 at 11am makes me wonder where the creator's from. which is something i do wonder about frequently. we know theyre not from england because they gave koga a geordie(? i just know that it was wrong.) accent despite living in liverpool in the 10 yrs later series but currently it's becoming increasingly likely they ARE in Canada (or the AU i suppose) considering they referenced fucking Degrassi in episode 10 (what kind of gachatuber knows fucking degrassi????). but theyve also included some aussie references like i think the sfx on the airline in the first movie when yuta's going to the grand canyon. the fixation on america is, well, yknow, but at the same time its just the right brand of humorous that they may not necessarily be american. but what's getting me is the 11am specifically. i know that time is relative to my own timezone because it's like that for other premieres, and if they're canadian there's no reason for them to cater specifically to australian time --- we're like, what, 18h ahead of canada? it COULD be a coincidence. cause i have no idea why someone would want their omegaverse gachalife episode to premiere right on the minute of silence during remembrance day. the episodes do have a habit of premiering at 11am anyway, it could just be a coincidence. 11/11 at 11am for me would be 4am on the 10th for them... weird time. i dont know YFRP's life though. im just very curious about this person

[reggiespoon]

I've seen in various biographies so many post-Thermidor quotes from haters about Robespierre's accent. A smattering serves to illustrate the general tone, which is that he retained a strong regional accent that was sneered at by high society:

The high inflection of his voice was disagreeable to the ear; he cried out rather than spoke. His time in the capital had not entirely erased his harsh accent. His pronuncation of certain words revealed the harsh tones of his province, with the result that his speech was deprived of all melody.

.

his rather sharp voice sought for oratorical effects but found only fatigue and monotony;

.

a voice that was toneless, monotonous and harsh, with laboured elocution.

And curiously, from Peter McPhee:

There was uproar, and a deputy retorted to Robespierre’s sing-song intonement by shouting ‘we want no psalm-singing here!’

As a Brit, I'm fascinated by the social and cultural nuances of different accents; we have a ludicrous number of accents for a relatively small country, and the metadata on class, race, geography, industry, education, history, attached to every single one is staggering. This is undoubtedly true of every country on earth, so I really wish I could understand from a French person what a strong Artois accent implies about someone. Country bumpkin? Urban poverty? Uneducated? Unfriendly? Too friendly? Intelligent? Naive? Savvy? Underclass? Upper crust? What assumptions would a Parisian automatically make about someone with such an accent?

I'm an English speaker, i therefore imagine Robespierre speaking in English when I read his speeches (in English), and for personal reasons, I'm itching to work out what his accent might be like in a British context. The analogous accents here (from "monotonous, toneless" to "sharp, sing-song") would seem to be Yorkshire and possibly Cheshire or Cumbria. Yorkshire accents are tonally fairly flat, while Cheshire is more rolling and rounded and Cumbria has a sharper, more Geordie-style inflection.

Robespierre with a Middlesbrough accent (or Darlington omfg) is very funny to me, but tbh that may be the closest English comparison? Although I did read several long articles about the Picard and Ch'ti languages and I recall that Robespierre was mocked particularly for his consonants (in some article in Suleau's royalist rag), which is apparently a distinctive feature of Ch'ti? And in that case, the closest British analogue is Scouse, like a proper Brookside Scouse accent, with a lot of <sh> and <χ> sounds.

And if Middlesbrough was funny, Scousepierre is absolutely SENDING ME.
