I need starfleet academy to introduce one more faculty member who shows up randomly to deliver targeted wisdom at one of our main cadets so I can complete something insane I have been cooking in the notes app

For whatever it’s worth, I had started this and then set it aside for a bit because I just didn’t have the focus for it that day, but I have come back to it and am really enjoying it now

I have a lot of questions about who is actually purchasing these hundreds of LLM-generated “novels”. Are they reading them? There’s already vastly more human-written novels published in a year than even the most avid reader could begin to scratch the surface of.
I'm not kidding when I say this should be illegal, even if it weren't also a transparent scam on this idiot's part.
“If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?” God this is bleak

I'm sure it's just because I happen to be enjoying them at the same time, but Don Quixote really makes all the toilet humor in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms seem completely apropos (there is so much pooping in Don Quixote). can't be having knights running around and not pooping, you know

I wasn't going to weigh in on the Neopets RPG but I have to say ONE thing lmao
It isn't THAT crazy for it to have rules about death and sex; there were tweens on that site writing stories about their neopets going through straight-up game of thrones breaking bad shit. I know because I was one.

I love the Gold Zone coverage of the Olympics. Yes I do want to watch two different curling matches, a hockey game, and freestyle skiing all at the same time. Just blast that into my brain please

Bunny tracks in the snow going right up to our front door this morning 😭 I’m sorry it’s so cold, bunnies, I would let you in if I could 😭 I hope it is warm and dry under the shed

MY FRIEND COLIN IS HERE NOW, YOU SHOULD FOLLOW HIM, I peer pressured him into becoming a game designer and he's real good at it
After being encouraged repeatedly (lovingly by @jenkatwrites.bsky.social and @czamboni.bsky.social ) I've finally joined.
Well, hello! I'm Colin, and I've been designing games for a few years now! For those curious:

one of my discord servers has a "star trek containment zone" thread, ostensibly so it does not overwhelm all other movie and TV conversations, but 80% of it is just me posting like this at random hours

Is this a safe space to admit that I always get super emotional about the Olympics? Like tearing up at every opening ceremony about wow, peace and cooperation are beautiful and the community of nations is real. I’m cringe but I’m free

This is what we HAVE, and I can imagine what the other three MIGHT say. I imagine that a knight might be charged in the name of the Crone to be wise, or to heed wise counsel; in the name of the Stranger to not fear death or to be willing to risk one’s life

thinking about tomes
it was really a hop skip and a jump from these to RPGs when I was a tiny tween lass, because you know what these big shiny magical tomes look like? the 3.5e covers, which I am adamant are the best-looking D&D books, regardless of their content

caught today's Dunk & Egg on my lunch break (I didn't realize they put it up at 3 am instead of the usual time???) and I am going insane, I could run through a wall, I could run through ten walls

Dragonsdawn was my unexpected favorite of these books, though I loved them all as a tween/teen, and I especially bloved this cover. Sorka Hanrahan being a feisty horse girl when we first meet her and then growing up into the first queen dragonrider was EVERYTHING to me
DRAGONSDAWN (1987)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 25” x 36”
This was the first cover in the Dragonriders of Pern series to feature the beloved fire lizards and I really enjoyed painting them. 1/5

It’s funny how in ep 3 it was very easy to be like “I’m reading too much into this interaction between Jay-Den and Kyle” and in episode 5 Kyle is looking at Jay-Den like he wants to devour him whole and saying “you got a capable bearing” while flirting
"You got a capable bearing" as a pickup line is driving me so insane that I am going to become a danger to myself and others

Hey not to be dramatic but I think this is like one of the best shows ever made possibly
I am making myself do all my little TASKS (writing, grocery shopping, putting the dishwasher back together) before I watch the new episode of Starfleet Academy and it is taking literally all of my restraint and willpower 😤

I just opened this up and this has gotta be the funniest/best list I have ever been included in. no other context where you're seeing my name next to my absolute GOAT Kenny Omega 😂

can I say something insane? there's a tiny chunk in this that I paraphrased, if not directly stole, from Mrs. Dalloway. now you might think "Jen, why are you putting concepts from Mrs. Dalloway in your goofy-ass Star Trek fanfiction?" and the answer is because I'm classy as fuck

...I am writing something SO stupid right now
do you think there's going to be a school dance episode of Starfleet Academy? are they going to have an Academy formal? do you think they'll have prom with the War College? I have been rotating this idea in my head for like an hour and a half

yesterday my devs tried to tell me that something they did was "a minor change" that "doesn't need much testing" and "wouldn't affect anything else", so obviously I found four (maybe five) bugs in the first half hour of testing it
