[ID : A Digital Coloured Sketch Of Lan Wangji From Mo Dao Zu Shi. He Is Sat In A Dark Room, Holding A

I need a mdzs au/fic? where wwx is actually evil but, like not full blown psychopathic and lwj is just constantly agreeing with him.

Wwx: the cultivation world is corrupt therefore I'm gonna take over it and become emperor

Lwj: whatever you want babe, wanna start with gusu?

personally i do think julian bashir is trans, but not in a way that sublimates his genetic alterations into a trans allegory. i think he's disabled and trans at the same time, but i think his rebellion against his parents--the symbolic death of his old self with the name change--that's not about gender, for him, at all.

it's about the incredible violation of autonomy he experienced as a disabled person under the knife of a eugenicist society. it's about the need to reclaim some, any, of the agency that was so completely stolen from him by his parents.

it's about discovering that his entire self was deconstructed and reconstructed, without his knowledge or consent, for the express purpose of being less of a burden on his parents.

because let's not forget that the death of julian's old self was not his decision. it was his parents who killed the old self and created a new one.

let's not forget that human society in star trek is still recovering from the eugenics wars--that just because it's post-scarcity doesn't mean it's a utopia.

let's not forget the multiple episodes where bashir is forced to confront the fact that his "success story" is truthfully a gross reminder of how deeply his society (and his family) hates disabled people, not only shown in how they tried to fix him, but also in the fact that the process so rarely works as intended, yet is still done anyway--and the failures and the ones too far gone to save are locked away! with no connection to general society, and only the bare minimum provision for their physical needs, with no privacy and no autonomy!

and let's not forget that julian sees these people and is torn between the empathy he has for them, and his urge to fix them. and he goes through with this urge on Sarina, "fixing" her to conform to his idea of what she ought to be, treating her as a problem to be solved, objectifying her via "my ideal woman was trapped in this disabled body/mind and i saved her," thus continuing the cycle of violence, because even he can't conceive of a world where the disabled do not need to be fixed. where the violence done to him was wrong. fuck man

Omg this interaction 😭😭 Bones loves dressing him up ahhhhhhh

Gentlemen please there is a crisis going on.

"Jiang Cheng rebuild his whole clan from the ashes!"

And where do you think Wei Wuxian was? Cheered him on from the sidelines? Drank his days away with ghost women?

The Lotus Pier was never burned (in the novel) – what use is a burned Supervision Office to the Wen? Besides those first three months without Wei Wuxian, he didn't rebuild anything alone. After, it's because of Wei Wuxian that the Jiang Clan continued to exist as a Great Clan and recruited plenty of disciples.

Steven universe AND wangxian?? Okay I'm sold!! Would Lwj and wwx start the rebellion in this au? I need to know more!

So I finally started Steven Universe and yeah…

Lan covers their gem with their forehead ribbon. Lan Zhan doesn’t need boots but how I love to see him with them.

I just love Wei Ying on tip toes, it’s an amethyst trait, you’ll see what I mean later. Yes he is shameless. Those hips don’t lie.

i imagine i am not alone in needing an easy way to listen to this on repeat

Actually Lwj is so much better than me, Cause like the corruption of the cultivation world aside, If I lost my bisexual, raven haired princess who also happens to be a renowned heretic I would've had the crash out of the century.

NHS and nmj since from what I remember nmj can't reincarnate so no meeting again for NHS

Putting sworn siblings here too coz why not.

Don't you love the way MXTX writes siblings?? So cute and absolutely adorable <333

No coz why is LXC and LWJ the only pair that are relatively ok??? MXTX either hates her siblings or is an only child coz like why would you do that-

Kirk being the exception in everything for Spock in this book is absolutely crushing.

Spoilers for The Entropy Effect:

Early on they establish that Spock maintains a strict distance from his other crewmates, and other beings in general as being a touch telepath means he has to maintain shields against their emotions and thoughts. Braithewaite shaking his hand is such a faux pas because of this, Vulcans are known to be touch telepaths and he should know better! Kirk and Spock are both irked by the gesture to the point that Kirk notices Spock is giving Braithewaite a hard time (politely).

Kirk is shot on the bridge and without a second thought Spock is there, already trying to staunch the bleeding, holding Kirk in his arms (using his first name a lot too…) and drops literally every shield he has. They’re so entwined that even dying Kirk recognizes that Spock’s going to follow him into death.

After Kirk’s death, Spock is in charge of the Enterprise as it was Kirk’s last request that he take care of his ship, but Spock’s already planning on transferring off as soon as possible- it doesn’t occur to him that he could stay there under a different captain, which would be the most logical course of action. Jim’s death ends that part of Spock’s life that takes place on the Enterprise.
