VESHARI FREIGHTER NAQ’OTAH: 5 Years Earlier

And as the Admiral "...people who LOVE YOU." 😭

Janeway in love with seven is like the most precious thing bc she keeps her emotional self kinda private from everyone on board but then *bam* SEVEN, anything to do with Seven and suddenly she's showing everybody her weakness unintentionally bc she's so deep for this woman she doesn't even realize she's telling the whole ship she's in love with her just by being in sevens court at every turn without any regrets. I love janeway. I love how janeway loves seven. I love how kathryn janeway allows herself to love seven, unequivocally.

This was supposed to be 75k and it can't even be broken into multiple books 😬

Also fun fact: Google docs has a 1 million character limit so this is just the sequentially organized doc because the other one is starting to lag...oops.

Kelpien Folklore Snippet from Subversion Theory's Upcoming Chapter

“The elders taught us that Hell was a moon that fell into the sea. For seven days the water boiled, and when it finally cooled, the tides carried the moon back to the shore as stones. When the first Kelpiens left the sea and walked upon the shore, the stones cut their feet and they bled. So they fashioned hard soles to walk over the stones, but the stones lodged in the tread and were carried across the world. "Now we say, ‘One cannot know the peace of soft earth if they have never walked upon sharp stones. And if ever you walk with light feet, pray it is not that the stones have been lost, but that you have learned how to carry them.’”

I can appreciate soft Seven, but badass Seven is much more fun 🥲

for your consideration: seven’s soft ponytail

Ordered my Star Trek: Discovery Blu-rays because I've gotten into collecting physical media again and my internet out here drops a lot, and honestly I don't even know why I bothered buying all 5 seasons since 3 and 4 are dead to me and the only reason I liked 5 was because they brought Airiam back for 15 minutes when they could have spent 3 seasons with her as a major villain and let her try to torch the Federation while possessed by an evil AI that had access to her memories and everything she knew about Starfleet and Discovery as a Lieutenant Commander...😭

Anyway, I ordered some Blu-rays so now I can be mad even without internet.

Ha. And in the process you become grateful your real life friends understand you're actually not a total whack job.

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

Daylight savings time is stupid.

That's all.

My partner critiques my fics in memes, I felt this on a very personal level.
