Wonderland (Or Something)

I'm not the Princess you seek. But we could still have a really good time.

I just saw an insta post talking about how women don't mind being cat ladies anymore because they've been harmed by men, and their peace is more important than finding a human partner.

And as an ace person, well... I've been hurt by men in the past when I tried for "being normal," (and even before that being hurt by male family members, physically and emotionally).

The comments are a mishmash of people fighting about women being culpable in their own loneliness and that other women are the enemy and men are fine, actually. Somebody even said all single women are narcissists, and that's why they're single. But most women agreed that yeah, focusing on themselves has made things better, and not having a man has given them some peace. I don't have a horse in this particular race, but I hope people can find contentment, however that looks. I guess the eternal lesson is, as always, stay out of the comments.

But anyways, here are Obes and Banana. Just being eepy little guys. They'll be five at the end of the month. Full jedi masters!

How should we celebrate?

Every time I watch Farscape, I think about Leslie Crichton. She died four years before the pilot, and she only appears in two episodes and she's only mentioned a couple of times beyond that.

I first saw Won't Get Fooled Again when I was like 15 or 16, and even then, I was fascinated with that character and relationship.

We know she died of cancer and that John was not present for her death and likely regrets that. We know her life was not easy, raising three kids and married to a famous astronaut who wasn't always around. We know she grasped onto things like tarot for guidance long before it was popular the way it is now, and certainly was not popular in a house full of scientists.

I think she really loved her family. Even when it was hard. Even when they didn't understand each other or communicate in helpful ways. She really tried hard to be a good mom.

I love Leslie.

girl what happened to just creating fanwork to satisfy your needs

going directly to the developers for canonical changes to the work has gotta stop like what happened to boundaries

*waves walking stick*

When I was young, the greatest horror imaginable was being perceived by the creator of the work you love.

Your show shat the bed? Write the fix-it!

Your rare pair never got together? Write the ship!

You cannot make creators go in the precise direction you want. It will never happen because that's not how life works. If they do, by chance, do exactly what you want you are very lucky.

But you can take matters into your own hands and bring that alternate universe to life. No need to tag them in a tweet or whatever. You can just pop open a Lil doc and get to it.

And it feels really good to watch those ideas unfold. โค๏ธ
