Strong Women | Star Trek 🥳

Well, Twice in a Lifetime just fucked me up. Like fucked. Me. Up. No I mean like

FUCKED

ME

UP

Am I nuts to think they were absolutely wrong? Am I nuts to think Gorden should be livid? Is it nuts that I'm livid?

A quick doodle for @curator-on-ao3's fantastic fic "Facets of Belonging", that is so cute and sexy and tantastic and aaaaaah. Go and read it pronto!

Might color it. My main takeaway is: I can do Una's face now in less than 4 hours. :D I'm having fun.

Screaming, crying, throwing up. Thank you so, so much for this wonderful surprise, @pc-corner!! 🥹 I love your interpretation of the fluffiest rug to ever fluff, plus this moment of Chris asking if he could look at Una (while he was so embarrassed that he also asked if she would keep her eyes closed).

I love it, I love it, I love it!! Thank you again and again for this unexpected gift! ❤️

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

Some types of unreliable narrator:

The Watson: is present for the event but does not have the same level of perception as protagonist

The Lemony Snicket: isn't present for the event, reconstructs the facts based on later research, can get things wrong or incomplete

The Ted Moseby: is present for the event but has romanticised and embellished their memory of it through nostalgia to an extent that you cannot fully believe it; is also prone to misremembering or outright forgetting details.

The Katniss Everdeen: is present for the event, is the protagonist, but is completely foreign to the world and out of their depth so they don't quite understand a lot of what is going on.

The Rose Quartz: is present for the event, but due to their personal agenda or feelings of shame hides and embellishes what actually happened in favour of a version that paints them in a better light.

The Big Brother: overwrites what actually happened in favour of propaganda.

The Jonathan Harker: is absolutely clueless about what is going on around them and the genre they're in so their perception of events is tinted by their own naivety.

The Goob: the narrator's own emotional bias clouds their judgement of what really happened.

The Tyler Durden: the narrator is suffering from hallucinations and doesn't realise it.

The Pi: the narrator has survived a traumatic experience and copes with it by turning it into a wonderful tale.

Everyone is the unreliable narrator of their own lives.

EVERYONE! IS THE! UNRELIABLE! NARRATOR! OF THEIR OWN LIVES!!

This is not how their story starts. But it’s how it starts on Quarra. 

Inspired by Leonard Cohen's "By the Rivers Dark," for the Merry Month of Cohen.

You live in a house decorated according to your url. What does it look like

Just because you are capable of tolerating when someone treats you poorly doesn’t mean you should.

Fun fact from the Jonathan Frakes commentary on "First Contact":

That is not Alice Krige's hand, which is why it looks so freakishly large. She only had her makeup done from her shoulders up for this day of filming so they got one of the other Borg drones and had him kneel out of shot then reach up and seductively stroke Patrick Stewart's face.

Shut up- that’s hilarious!!! 😂🤣😂

Yes, yes, angry sex and sad sex and rough sex and kinky sex, but what about characters having sex because they really like each other and fooling around is fun?

The best kind!

btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.
