I’m Putting Together A Little List Of The Short Creative Writing I’ve Written For Tumblr. So Far

I just realized Lemony Snicket named Montgomery Montgomery the way he did because he works with a lot of snakes and "Monty" is short for montgomery.

In other words:

They're Monty's Pythons

Inevitable fansong for the bug wife 🐛

tq to this anon for reminding me of this idea i had (you have a lovely day too <3)

do you ever think about how jane succumbed to the corruption because she wanted to be loved and how she went after the archival crew who (probably) craved love the most

the AU where somebody brings the Camera with the broken lens to the Magnus Institute for Artefact Storage, accidentally and effectively nerfing the entire institute for as long as the camera remains nobody feels compelled to give dramatic statements, employees can suddenly quit, Jonah has no idea what’s going on

Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.—NICHELLE NICHOLS

what’s your favorite character trope and why is it “hot priest doing things he probably shouldn’t”

Normalise or tell me to get a therapist over feeling:

An immense amount of guilt daily but not always acting on it because its a horrible motivator. I want to help and fix and heal but I feel stuck and that I can't and that I'm useless.

That this guilt eats me up every time I think about it. That I still don't look up and search what I can do. That I put me and my mother's future above others. That I choose to sit on money I know can help the homeless/refugees, choosing to save it so I can buy a house to secure my mother's retirement. Choosing to use money I inherited. Not money I earnt. I don't know how to live with myself.

How's snom doin?
