Ok, but what do you think Cardassians swim in? Do they swim with their regular clothes on or do they
because showing shoulders=slutty?
I picture them in 1800s-type men’s style bathing suits, but the first option opens up so many new possibilities! Maybe that’s like the speedo of swimsuits - slutty but technically socially acceptable.
decided to sketch the cast of our 1920s berlin holosuite adventure in TAKE A CHANCE ON ME its part of a longer series but i fell so in love with the outfits and ideas we came up with (especially for ziyal) that i decided to focus on this particular work first!
if you decide to stop by and give it a read make sure to mind the rating and tags :)
Go read the fic, too! If the tags give you pause (and fair enough) but you’d brave them for a really good fic, this is a really good fic.
Every time I see a post on this website talking about how old people aren’t welcome on tumblr or whatever the fuck, I think of @spockslash and get sad
It occurs to me that people outside of the trek fandom don’t know who dee was so let me elaborate:
In 2018-ish, the trek fandom found a new blogger posting- @spockslash, aka Dee, an OG Trekkie from the sixties who read fanfic in Dan made zines and remembered watching the trek movies in theaters. She was kind to absolutely everyone, adopting anyone who asked, answering all our questions and leaving the sweetest comments on our fanworks. She was a wealth of knowledge, and for a few blessed months she would tell us everything about what fandom was like in the old days, about the way Kirk and Spock was treated before the invention of fandom spaces and the internet. Go look at her blog, the @ is right up there, it’s a wonderful resource.
Dee unfortunately passed not too long after making her blog, and her grandchildren took over the blog, vowing to leave it up as long as tumblr allowed and donating her classic zines and other fandom materials to the k/s archive and Star Trek wikis. My understanding is that the plan was not necessarily to do this, but they were so blown away by the fandom’s outpouring of love for their grandmother that they felt they had to.
Young fans- respect your elders, acknowledge them, treat them like family, and in return I promise you will gain a source of wisdom snd kindness.
Fandom elders- I love you all, and Dee would’ve too.
And to dee’s grandchildren, should they ever stumble across this post; I still miss her posts, even though I’m barely in the fandom anymore. That’s the impact older fans can have on us.
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
