I’m surprised that this post doesn’t contain a link to turn off all of these settings (maybe another version of this post does, who knows)
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols and this will take you to a page which states what information Google is currently tracking. Each section has a blue slider next to it. Click it and it will come up with a confirmation box, scroll through it and select “pause” and you should be good to go.
I would go to this link regularly to make sure the sliders haven’t reset, too.
Taylor’s “Wonderland” is an excellent HobDream song.
Also a good BlackBonnet song tbh
This scene from Firefly of Mal trapping Jayne in the airlock, but it’s Garak with Richard Bashir (maybe Amsha too) and/or Zimmerman. Just bc I think Garak would enjoy torturing them into admitting what awful people they are. And it would be highly satisfying to watch.
okay so that post about the child being upset by the concept of talking birds made me go find this clip. This is from Dancing with the Birds on Netflix.
Behold MacGregor’s Bowerbird
So I found this song on an OFMD playlist:
And now I’m picturing art that’s like Stede on one side and Ed on the other and there’s a jagged line between them, but text along the line reads, “I would love you still in hell”
Ohhhhhhhhh well foremost my heart makes that sound XD
Kelas and Elim. My beloveds. My absolute hearts.
I love them together. I think they balance well. Their story is so heart-wrenching and beautiful! Kelas is literally like the sweetest person but also the sort of kind that is strong and forged through fire. They are kind on purpose. And they see the best in Elim. They believe in Elim when he doesn’t believe in himself 😭😭 And you know I think Elim gives Kelas hope. Elim IS Kelas’ Cardassia. Bloody and painful but beautiful and deeply good, able to change, to grow, to transform and learn from past sins. Elim decides every day to turn his back on his upbringing and to do the best for Cardassia and Kelas loves him for it. They both hold that deep love for Cardassia and her people. In Crimson Shadow, Elim calls Kelas his “conscience”. They really are a rock that Elim leans on and learns from. Elim is shamelessly attracted to kindness and competence and Kelas has both in spades.
Elim gives Kelas hope and love and a sanctuary, I think, in a way. Someone to come home to, someone to love, actively, on purpose. And someone to give them love in return, to remind them they are precious, and there is love and pleasure in the world.
Kelas gives Elim steadiness. A foundation. A sounding board. Someone he trusts to pull back on the reigns. Elim does not always trust himself, but he trusts Kelas. Kelas is kind and forgiving. Kelas is a good, a goal, to strive for. Kelas loves and forgives and accepts. Kelas also pushes back. They call Elim out and don’t let him lie. They have infinite patience but also will not pull punches. It is beautiful to see and it is so good for Elim to have that. He needs that.
The first way Kelas knew Elim was in the worst way. Elim could never truly lie to them because they saw underneath everything. And still they fell in love. Still they gave Elim a chance! A second chance as he had been offered so few times before.
Their love is just so goddam beautiful, okay?? Please read ASIT and Crimson Shadow. I still need to read Enigma Tales.
So I made a YouTube playlist of just the TSwift songs from my Garak playlist. It’s sort of his life and his loves? Palandine and Cardassia and dealing with exile and Tain and then Julian and Kelas.
This fanvid is so cute! Garak is Godzilla lol
I am overloading on feels and should be sleeping but I had to share this beautiful Garashir fanvid with all of you
