#thank you so much! <3

Today we’ll start with what you only think you know. Show me what you’re made of.

[nuvex]

Thank you so much for this milestone! Despite my irregular activity lately you appear to all still like me, you weirdos. Stay tuned for more of me getting hyper focus on an AU before pivoting into something entirely unrelated. But for real, thanks for the patience. I love you all so much!

[talesofgabrielandnathalie]

I'm addicted to your art, it's so beautiful!! Draw something that you really want, although it is not necessarily related to this series.

[poohsources]

you are a super sweet person -- thank you for all you've been doing for the rpc!!

🏜️ ❄️ 🐇 🦷 <3

Eee, thank you TK! :'> 💙💙💙

Answering asks from this fic ask game here!

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

All comments are wonderful - long, short, keysmashes, all of them! There's no such thing as a bad comment (unless it's hurtful or cruel, but those are bad by default). That said, I admit I have a soft spot for comments that point out small details that usually get missed, or narrative elements that could be seen as foreshadowing. I put a lot of research into tiny lore details and a lot of effort into foreshadowing (since I like to write out my whole outline beforehand to be able to know where things are going) so it's always nice when those things are noticed! :D

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

HMM. TK, have you ever written Tristan and the crew into a Black Flag AU? I don't know your feelings on Black Flag as a AC instalment but it was always one of my favourites. I think it would be fun to see them in that setting. :D 🏴‍☠️

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

I've never written a reader insert, so between these two, definitely original characters! OCs consistently get the short end of the stick in fandom spaces but at the end of the day, what are canon characters but someone's OCs put on a large-scale platform?

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

Never discount your own achievements. You earned them.

I really liked your drawing so I made one myself! Thank you so much for sharing your tigers with us!

29, 39, and 40 for the Star Trek asks, please. ✨

Thank you so much for the questions!

29. Favourite and Least Favourite Episodes:

Ooooh, good question! Let's start with the negativity so we can end on a high note 😅

I... honestly would put most of Picard seasons 2 & 3 in the "least favourite" category 🙈 If I had to pinpoint some lowlights, it'd be "Fly Me to the Moon". It's not a bad episode in itself and in isolation, I might not mind it, but the two times I watched through season 2 in order, this was the episode where I found myself crying and/or shaking with rage and disappointment when it was over. Probably becuase it really drives home that they're serious about where they're going with this series I used to love and it's not somewhere I can follow.

Disregarding that... I have a terrible memory for this kind of thing 😅 And I guess it depends on what you mean by "least favourite".

I think one objective measure to use: I don't ever want to see the ENT mpreg episode again, where everyone acts like Trip Tucker having his bodily autonomy violated in a horrendous way is The Funniest Shit™. That has seared itself into my brain so much that when I was rewatching all of TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT to take notes for the holo-tech database, it's actually the only episode I wanted to skip.

There are also some real bombs in season 1 of TNG, and some of the Ferengi episodes in DS9 are firmly on my "no thank you" list. But yeah, I think the involuntary mpreg takes the cake, honestly.

Now for the much funner part: There are SO MANY episodes I truly love! DS9's "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" and "Badda-Bing Badda Bang", PIC's "Broken Pieces", VOY's "Concerning Flight" (which is apparently controversial?), "Drive", "Bride of Chaotica!", also any VOY episode that has Naomi Wildmann in it...

There are also A Ton of Deep and Dramatic episodes I love, but from my instinctive answers I'm realizing that what draws me to an episode as a "favourite" is apparently "It's fun!" (and likely involves the holodeck? 🙈🤣) So yeah, if we're talking favourite, not best, it's probably something along these lines.

39. You have to relocate to a planet other than Earth, which do you choose?

Hm, that's a tough one. I feel like not that many planets readily spring to mind, so I'll have to really think about this.

It'd probably be near the centre of the Federation for that sweet, sweet post-capitalist utopia (and also because my family is presumably still on Earth and I want to be able to visit Very Frequently.

Vulcan is a big No, because my body does not function above 25° C🙈 I love snow and ice, though, so Andoria might be a real option (though not technically a planet, I guess 😋).

Beyond that, I'm honestly drawing a blank. I think I haven't seen enough TOS/TNG in a while, so I don't remember too many worlds they visited. But yeah, probably somewhere that's close to the Sol, close to the centre of the Federation, has good temperate-to-colder climate to live in... In the end, it would probably very much depend on why I'm relocating and whom with.

40. If you got a Trek inspired tattoo, what would it be?

Another tough one 😅 I don't have any tattoos and don't think I'll ever get any. For one, I'm way too scared of that kind of long-term commitment, but also my skin has Issues™ and I don't know how long a tattoo would look decent.

If I were to get one, though? Let's be honest, it would be some version of the Sirena logo. That little ship has shaped my life in ways more profound than I can even say. Sirena and her crew got me to write again after over a decade, gave me so, so, SO much joy, not to mention all the incredible, wonderful friends I foud along the way (that's you!)

I think for me, Sirena stands for found family, friendship, healing, creativity, allowing myself to feel joy in my nerdiness and head for new adventures. So yeah.

If not that, probably some variation of IDIC, either the symbol or the saying in Vulcan script 🤔

4. which song rips your heart out?

rn it's so real by jeff buckley. something about his delivery + the instrumental just breaks me. also marjorie by taylor swift, because i just can't deal with death. and grandmas! it's too much.

6. what was the first concert you went to?

i spent most of my life in a pretty small town in Siberia, so i haven't been to a real concert yet <3 sigh.

25. do you and anyone you know have “a song”?

hm! i don't know, actually. my sister and i sing k-pop songs to each other sometimes, and my friend and i like to sing this one russian pop song whenever we hear the word "песок"! does that count?

Rules for the WIP Wednesday Game here!

Milo's hand is gentle as he reaches out, cupping Bisco's cheek where the fletching of his arrow came a touch too close, the skin irritated but unbroken. The frustration curling Bisco's hands fizzes out and with a sigh, he unfolds his fists, reaching up to tap at Milo's hand and curling fingers around his wrist.

"You're lookin' at me like I'm gravely injured, doc," he laughs and throws his voice to sound snobbish, trying for a grin to lessen the teasing, and wonders if he's failed as Milo continues to stare.

[headaching]

colour/color (whichever way you spell it) and/or eye for the wip ask game! :)

hiii ollie, thank you for the words! i surprisingly didn't have much for color, so this is eye/eyes from my zukka titanic au

Sokka shook his head and said, “I can tell you’re different,” to which Zuko stopped walking and crossed his arms.

“So you keep saying,” he replied, using the fortunate view of the water as an excuse to avoid eye contact, “but you never explain what you mean.”

Sokka’s fingers curled around Zuko's arm, rendering him thankful for his shirt's long-sleeved barrier. Compulsively, he looked into Sokka’s eyes, where he was met with fondness.

“When I find a way to explain it to myself, I’ll let you know.” The words sounded teasing on the surface, but Sokka’s tone seemed totally earnest. Zuko laughed anyway, a quick huff breath, then nervously cleared his throat.
