I’m starting to think I should give Paul & Grace an ending… but do I doom them or give them the fate I dreamed of but didn’t get?

[yearningaces]

Lots of love 🪩 Anon! Missed ya, hope you're well and the world is kind to you!

Mx. Lawnmower r u OK. U reblogged that Shockwave post one billion times it is everything on my tl

Here look at these

Implications be drawn based the photographic evidence of a man who is seen in restraints curiously often. I'm sure any jokes regarding his sexual predilection that can be made has been made. Usually I take this kind of urges out on a piece of paper hastily scrawling porn but that's like trying to put out a housefire with a single drop of crisp morning dew. Orgasm is not a prerequisite to sex, although physiologically, that's where it's headed. The threshold of release is a promise, the journey's sticky end. Orgasm might not even be feasible when escorted by prowl fucking of petrex while he gloat, but if you interpret actions as symbols-whose meaning mutates through the motions of living-distal thoughts and forms can become associated, then entangled, and a cinching rope becomes a loving embrace. The mind connect allegory to sensation, and sensation crescendos to catharsis. Shockwave, who understands the world in cascading logic, must have accepted this as an inevitability. Taboo and shame then becomes arbitrary and illogical. To an empirically devoted mind, sex has no intrinsic difference from other aspects of existence. It's fool's errand trying to define his sexuality or fetishes, because either everything is sex and living is just building to the next orgasm; or sex doesn't exist, and orgasm means nothing other than a mechanical(Lol!) response to having one's tool stroked. I can entertain the notion of dichotomy for a second and imagine the shades of grey that exist in-between these two extremes, and then the pastabilities that exist outside this spectrum. How to describe this nebula in a way that's meaningful to the individual? What truth did emerge from untamed data? It's difficult to imagine Shockwave, a scientific man, tolerate living a life without knowing fully himself. In fact, its difficult for me to imagine Shockwave at all without resorting to my own utterly insufficient expressions, because he's so vast and endless. He is inexpressible

I'm going to spam out normal asks to counter the weird ones, what's a kobylu trope you want to see more in fanfics?

Thank you for your work solider 🙏 (I'm so sorry but I had to turn off anonymous asks, I feel like a goddamn teacher that has lost the trust of the entire class bc of one student.)

What don't I want to see more in Kobylu fanfics is the real question!

I think one fic I'd really want is an actual exploration of what it would be like for them to genuinely have romantic feelings in canon, because that would scratch my brain SO HARD?? Like I see future fics all the time where Luffy is Pirate King and Koby is Fleet Admiral and their just together no shits given, which is amazing and perfect mind you!! Keep doing that!!

But I want to see the strife and struggle that lead to that outcome. How in the world could two Captains on opposite sides genuinely foster a loving bond with the law against them? I fear I may have to write this out fellas...

It's just so interesting!! I love forbidden lovers!! Can we please put more emphasis on the forbidden part!! As much as I love silly wack shenanigans of everyone turning a blind eye, I want smth serious now, I'm rattling the bars of my enclosure.

Other than that, I think the world needs more domestic modern fics only to get stupid with them, the pastabilities are so endless with that trope it's fun

This is making the urge to write a kobylu fic even stronger oh dios mio

Chipotle order?

I usually order a burrito with barbacoa, brown rice, black beans, cheese, fajita veggies and red chili salsa! I also sometimes order chips and salsa on the side, but I usually don't finish it because Chipotle burritos are huge.

Anything from your childhood you’ve held on to?

I literally don't recall anything unfortunately... Most of the things I kept were left behind in my old family home and they're probably lost to the ether at this point...

Preferred pasta noodle?

I love penne pasta. I truly think the pastabilities are endless when it comes to penne.

Thank you Nessa! 😃

While I have my own critiques about Picard S3, they do not actually break their own canon re: the borg. Don't forget that the OG Borg Queen took La Sirena at the end of S2, which heavily implied that the Evil Borg still exist alongside Benevolent Borg (led by Borgati).

The existence of two Borg collectives was also confirmed by (showrunner) Terry Matalas on Twitter.

Now that ABSOLUTELY could have and should have been explained in-show. As an audience, we shouldn't have to fill in the gaps or rely on social media for such important information.

But the Borg as the S3 Big Bad is, at least, not contradictory to the events of S2.

i don't care about canon, i care about narrative.

i don't really care that canonically there could be two Borg queens out there. like, it's possible. anything is possible in Star Trek. there are alternate dimensions, there are things hinted at but not shown on-screen. but, they didn't even show us the Borg Queen in S3E9. just the back of their head, so it could be Bad Borg Queen or it could be Good Borg Queen or it could be a new, secret Third Borg Queen. the pastabilities are endless, as they say.

the thing i care about is that this is, once again, another thing that doesn't matter narratively.

last season, one of the themes was "change". it was so important that one lone person made a human connection with the Borg Queen that allowed The Borg to not just be a single-(hive)minded group of bad guys, but ones wanting to no longer force their assimilation on others but also assimilate into The Federation. one of the last moments of Season 2 was a new Borg Queen appearing on the Stargazer as a savior to extend a hand of peace and friendship to The Federation and Picard.

this season, none of that matters. The Borg are a bad guy. the one interesting thing they did narratively that season, making the go-to Bad Guys attempt to make up for eons of destruction, is now meaningless within the fiction. The Borg are the Bad Guys again.

Picard is a fucking robot right now and that barely matters! it was played for a laugh in Season 2 and it's not very important in Season 3. Star Trek: Nemesis was able to do "Picard's DNA matters" better with Shinzon, and that's really the thrust of this whole "what did they steal from The Federation" stuff. The Changelings and The Borg don't need Picard's body, as revealed in this newest episode, they needed his DNA. so, again, the "Picard died and is a robot now" thing is largely meaningless.

if you didn't watch Season 2 you wouldn't miss out. there is no through-line, events in one season don't really matter to the events of the next season.

that there are Good Borg out there, and that they were extremely important last season, takes the wind out of the season-long reveal of Season 3. because i remember the events of last season, i've now lost any reason to care about the reveal of the season-long mystery. if the writers don't care about what happened in their own show, why should the viewer?

i think one of the new characters, whoever the Captain was of the Titan, even says that none of the stuff on the Stargazer matters. How on the nose.
