I feel like this has been gif’d several times before by others but here I am doing it again

Tell my why in the tags/reblogs

[walkingstackofbooks]

the most rational extrapolation one can make about ferengi society is that it's probably massively homophobic/transphobic, as these follow logically from the sort of patriarchal structure that ferengis are shown to have. but i think the fact that quark paints his nails obscures this for those who don't like extrapolating.

(it's also true that quark doesn't voice anything homophobic in “rejoined” and we never see homophobia in the show. but to accuse the trek writers of having an even mildly sophisticated approach to interrogations of gender would be silly.)

Question for Fic Writers!

If you are posting a multi-chapter WIP (specifically on ao3) that is not finished how do you list the chapter count?

Please reblog! I’m curious about this!

[walkingstackofbooks]

AU where Miles succeeds in killing himself during Hard Time, right in front of Julian, and it's in that emotional aftermath that Sloan inserts himself a few months later

[walkingstackofbooks]

i wish AO3 had, like, an option to tag certain characters as “main characters” or “side characters” because if you try to find fics about an unpopular character through their tag you end up browsing through like 3000 fics where one sentence mentions them scratching their ass in the background and that’s it

Whenever a fic has Bashir going “what? A man? I’ve never been attracted to a man before! I’ve never had sex with a man before!” I’m always just like you fucking liar. Like As though you and Jadzia don’t have weekly drinks competing to see who was more bisexual this week.

As though Julian Bashir the guy is lying to me and not just, you know, that the author has a different headcanon than I do.

[walkingstackofbooks]

It’s so fun that Julian Bashir gets his own bespoke whumper and narrative foil and nemesis in the form of Sloan. Endless new ways to torture my beloved blorbo physically and emotionally in my fanfics, in order to bring all of Julian’s insecurities and fears and contradictions to the surface, while demonstrating his compassion and bravery as well. ^_^ <3

Oh.

Well, now I know. Thanks for the reply - and all props to you, it sounds like you're doing amazing work among very hostile circumstances <3 Definitely grateful to be teaching in the UK, 'cause if a child came to me with any of those above concerns, I'd be reporting them immediately with full expectation that something would be done.

(I've gone back and re-read the Article on privacy, and I see, that makes sense, thanks. Damn if that Wikipedia Article doesn't make for some tough reading though.)

(cw: sexual assault) the pedophile -as it is understood outside of academic circles- is a mythical creature. the idea that a complete stranger who kidnaps and sexually assaults kids is their biggest threat is absolutely insane; not one case of CSA (child sexual assault) in a hundred looks like that. CSA is committed almost uniformly by adults in a preestablished position of authority (such as family, family friends, clergy, or teachers) and in a way that a victim who doesn't know what sexual assault looks like will be left unsure what happened to them. without knowing concretely how sex and sexuality works, would you be able to tell the difference between molestation and the various other forms of unwanted physical touch and abuse kids are regularly subjected to? would it even seem that different? but parenthood and the submission of youth to adults as institutions are threatened by the reality of CSA. adults need to justify their ownership of children through an imagined outside threat constantly held at bay through their diligence. the truth - that putting yourself in such a position of authority over children directly enables abuse (including sexual abuse) - is thrown aside.

NEED👏THAT👏MAN👏PREGNANT FINALE POLL 1

PROPAGANDA:

[Grunkle Ford]

"He has that pathetic nerd swag why wouldn't I want him pregnant. I know multiple people who would want to bang that senior citizen."

"okay so this is the most breedable motherfucker in gravity falls. sorry but its true. eldritch chaos god triangle wants him so bad he ended the world about it, genius engineer wanted him so bad it made his wife divorce him, aliens want him, everyone in the town keeps calling him a silver fox and hot, etc. his autistic swag, presumable complete sexual inexperience in his 60s, and whimsy are a recipe for all to feel extreme lust when gazing upon his visage.

reasons that he is so mpreg-able aside, it is actually somewhat plausible that he is currently, as we speak, mpregnant. the new gravity falls book, the book of bill, had a website that was released to promote the book and also relay a bunch of new fun information and arg things. this new book, in universe, is written with the intent to be read by ford, and for the website, it is showcasing ford's laboratory. so one could view all of the material with the perspective of it being directed at ford.

one of these messages on the website is an image of an ultrasound of a baby-- a triangular baby. on it, there is the message "congrats, guess what's growing inside you right now! see you in nine months, papa!"

so…. ford might be mpregnant with his ex, bill ciphers baby. yayyyy."

"He's just so submissive and breedable. he should get a sci fi abortion. he would not enjoy fatherhood."

[Julian]

"he is EXTREMELY submissive and breedable."

I spent a year watching and rewatching that episode, and I've never even questioned the fact that he's playing darts with Julian *immediately* after everything went down 😅😅 Oh, Miles...

Though tbf, now you've pointed it out, I can see how going to Quark's to decompress with Julian would be more appealing than going home to your lonely quarters to ruminate about what just happened (Keiko is on Bajor)

[If you still need a reference for the events of Visionary, I made a pretty complete timeline with approximate hours and colour coding a couple of years ago!]

I had a moment when I was trying to remember the events of DS9's Visionary and was looking up the transcript again and I got confused at Miles having memories he is reliving when he played darts with Julian at the end. Because I guess I was thinking like this must be later on like the next couple days or something right?

So I'm like but then why would Miles have these memories if he was only from a couple hours in the future from the other Miles??

And then I was like...

Wait...

Miles replaced himself (who died) by traveling backwards in time, saved the station from exploding etc. etc...

And then just immediately went and picked up on the plans probably originally made earlier that day.

Miles "I'm nothing if not a man who keeps to his schedule" O'Brien.

~~~

When Keiko finds out about what happened she is really concerned, but then Julian interjects to tell her about this exact flow of events and she calms down like, "Oh okay, so it's definitely still Miles."

[walkingstackofbooks]

Damn really feeling the loneliness of the new boy on the space station Deep Space Nine tonight

[walkingstackofbooks]

Extreme Measures AU where Section 31 finds out what Julian's up to and decides he's too much trouble to keep around, so Sloan is tasked with killing him and making it look like a suicide

[walkingstackofbooks]

I remember being so confused when I last rewatched this, because I was completely convinced that this diner scene I'd read in a fanfic was supposed to happen, they'd completely merged in my head!

Okay, you know what? Enough with the insomnia crap. Alright, but you know, you need to crash. I'll keep working, you find a motel and get some sleep, okay? It doesn't matter what I do, Dean. Lucifer will not shut up. Even now?
