It's funny because I resisted the idea at first, but now I have fully embraced it as a little sanctuary to say unhinged star trek things that are not for the general audience lmao

Isn’t it incredible to live in a beautiful world where everyone is your neighbor and a potential friend

It’s actually very important to me that every couple years we get several thousand people from all over the world in one place for a big dance party, two weeks of games, and apparently nonstop fucking. That’s harmony. That’s unity.

when I was 11 or so, I read "A knight's first duty is to understand" in the Song of the Lioness books and that did permanently alter my young brain, alas

SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM, GEORGE, WHY LET THE OATH BE UNFINISHED, DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF

The Smith is the trickiest but only because I think there’s a lot of possibilities given what we know of his purview. He represents hard work for the things that the Warrior protects; he provides strength; he fixes broken things, setting wrongs to right. All very knightly

people talking about this episode not having the "because you are a knight who remembered his vows" line, but I suspect that they're going to give that line to the women from the first episode rather than Steely Pate, and cutting to one of them in the stands reacting points me to believe that

an oath of knighthood is something that can be SO personal AND sexual actually (WILD to me that George just never finished writing it though; it trails off in the book because Dunk walks away and doesn't hear it, and then we never see what the remaining three gods charge of knights)

also adore this preliminary cover with Sorka AND Sean, rather than just her. Sean was very much like, a perfect angsty teen love interest because he was feral and broody and sad and was very much tamed by Sorka, lmao, that just hits the spot when you're 13

Dragonriders of Pern were the first SEXY books I had, although I didn't really think it was a huge deal until, in 8th grade, I recommended them to a boy in my class because he liked dragons too, and he got grounded for having it and he refused to talk to me for WEEKS lmao sorry Mike

What is a dragonrider if not a horse girl with a much more dangerous horse (also loved the two romance threads in this book with Sorka and Sean in the younger generation, and Sallah and Tarvi in the older generation - chefkiss)

we've all been there, am I right

for Starfleet Academy yes lmao I have become deranged for this program

"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

I received a 24 hours early psychic vision about this episode when I wrote that fic yesterday
