narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

maybe the unbridgeable gulf between them is culture, or class, or religion, or maybe their chief commitment is to something other than each other. maybe they decide it’s more important to keep the peace than to risk the complications of a relationship. maybe they’re just weary of change and content with things the way they are because it’s simpler that way. for whatever reason nothing is ever consummated between them, emotionally or physically.

I love that kind of quiet tragedy.

This hack will save your teeth: there are no “right” and “wrong” times to brush your teeth.

It gets in your head that you brush after eating when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Yeah that’s all well and good, but those are times that don’t have a lot of motivation and control…So just…brush your teeth at a different time. 

You go to the bathroom in the middle of the day and are like “I should brush my teeth” DO IT!!!! Don’t listen to the other half of that sentence that says “shit but it’s not the right time” 

I don’t care if you’re about to eat, or get coffee, or whatever. 

If you are there and you want to…do it. 

Honestly this hack will solve most of problems. Just stop assigning meaningless “right” and “wrong” to tasks and start saying “I can pretty much do whatever I want whenever I want and society and its expectations don’t really matter to me”. 

If there’s no barrier in the first place you don’t have to get over it.

Zelda is right. Return the rights. They’re taking off all this shit for tax purposes and so that they don’t have to pay residuals but worse than that, for a great deal of projects, they also own the rights meaning these projects can never be available anywhere else.

I decided to categorize DS9 episodes:

  • Sisko gets dragged into Bajoran shenanigans
  • Odo investigates crime
  • Quark commits crime
  • Something Trill occurs, and is instantly forgotten
  • It’s time for the Ferengi Family Hour!
  • O'Brien must suffer
  • Kira proudly showcases what a bad judge of character she is whenever an old friend shows up
  • Something stupid happens on Bajor, which turns out to be even stupider than we first think
  • A single woman appears and Julian forgets how to Julian
  • A wild Garak appears and Julian is Extra Julian
  • Sisko, Miles, Odo or Kira suffer life-altering trauma but are fine within 43 minutes
  • Garak aggressively flirts with Julian as a substitute for therapy
  • Worf wakes up and chooses pettiness
  • Kira falls in love with someone who is exceptionally bland
  • Dukat shows up and reveals that he’s even worse than we already thought
  • Sisko loses his temper (if I were Sisko this would be every episode)
  • Random shit happens, then Quark says something surprisingly profound
  • An inappropriate romance story focuses on Jake
  • A spy breaks into Julian’s bedroom in the middle of the night promising Julian a good time…
  • Ezri tries to do her job and fails (honestly she’s a bad counsellor, I’m assuming she was a good counsellor before she was joined)
  • Kai Winn decides that Kai should be spelled Karen and complains to the manager
  • Attack Pattern Omega!

this is pure gold but don’t forget:

  • A changeling comes to the station and Odo forgets how to Odo
  • war crimes
