I’m curious do any of you have a favourite guest character? Either minor crew, alien of the week, villian or someone from the books (any Voy book).
What did you like about them? Do you wish the character was developed more? Who did they interact with and who would you have liked to see them interact with?
For me I’m going to pick Tal Celes!
A Bajoran crewmen from season six. Episodes, The Good Shepherd and The Haunting of Deck Twelve!
I loved that she was less super woman and more everyday girl! She interacted with KJ and I love the dynamics and contrast between the two ladies! I really think she could have been used more, she had a short scene with Harry, too short, but so cute and funny. I would have shipped them. I would have liked to see Celes become more confident and share more about her past, why she’s so anxious. Perhaps she could have found a role better suited for her. She could have been the one who regular, everyday women relate too.
Who else? He’s tall dark and handsome, silent and mysterious, tough and loyal, and I could make up a thousand headcanons for Ayala, most of them dirty.
Seska
Goddess of duplicity and femme fatale in space. She could have been the Dukat of Voyager. Instead, they stuck her with the Kazon and killed her. Sigh.
*makes grabby hands* Gods, I wish they’d kept Seska. She was interesting. And Ayala and Tal Celes definitely deserved so much more than they got.
For me: Mezoti. Awesome kid, could have been even more awesome if they’d let her stay. She was adapting well to life on Voyager, she and Naomi could have been best friends and unholy terrors, and just. *makes lots of frustrated noises*
Week one at Cosmetology School was LIT guys! I’m so stoked, SO. STOKED. I’m discovering so many cool things about myself as both a creative mind and a student. It’s amazing, and I’m so glad I picked this school. Aveda has a lot of great people, and great values that don’t make me feel skeevy.
Since everyone was SO EPIC and not only are my school fees now ALL paid, but I was able to make it to and from class and eat without losing my mind, I want to extend a massive THANK YOU! Everyone who has signal boosted and donated so far has been my angels.
My gofundme is still ongoing. That’s my end goal. I’m applying all the donations I get to my paypal to that final balance, and paypal still is my favorite option for getting paid, since it means no third party fees.
The goal for next week:
I have 3 days of school, 10 hours each. That’s 45$ in train fare, and I’d like to keep my meals to about 15$ or less per day, so another 45$ in meals for three days. The home situation is still screwball, and anything over my travel/eating goals goes towards rent! I’m not in danger of getting kicked out, but I owe for April now, and soon May.
I’m also picking up pet sitting jobs and doing hair sticks for people here. I’m going to the career fair on April 30th to see if I can get a salon front of house job in virginia, or as an assistant somewhere! I haven’t been paid for one commission, and the next one isn’t coming in until sometime in two weeks.
My Instagram and Twitter handles are the same, I’m setting up snapchat today, and there’s an EPIC amount of cool stuff to do on social media. PM me if you want in on my professional social media! I’m working hard to keep it separate from my fandom identity, to keep all my fandom people out of the public eye! But if you want to follow my professional accounts, hit me up!
I’m getting there, but I’m not there yet! This fundraising round is to get me through week 2, and everyone who helps me out is amazing. (Seriously guys, I don’t ever cry but I’ve cried more than once seeing my balance go from ‘danger zone’ to ‘nearly there’.)
I dream of the day when I won’t have to look at this fucking chart….
Ah, right, that’s why I don’t watch that episode. Episodes. Bleah. *scrubs hand over face, and tries to pretend they’re not attempting to melt through the floor from second-hand embarrassment*
hey let’s normalize doing little things to help ourselves!
opening a window sure won’t cure my personality disorders but it will cool down my room and give me fresh air if I haven’t left the house for a while! taking your vitamins won’t cure your depression but it will prevent you from getting vitamin deficiencies if you forget to eat! going outside for a while won’t cure mental illness but it does feel nice!
little things won’t cure us but they will help manage things. these things aren’t “neurotypical”, they are ways of surviving!
I haven’t seen this post in a min but precisely when I have a headache RN it comes up in my feed
Two quick additions, as someone who suffered from chronic migraines
1. Behind the eyes: eye strain or just long stress. More sleep will definitely make this feel better. 2. Temples: unclench your jaw, as that bone is putting too much pressure on your temples.
This is a fucking life saviour with the amount of headaches I have
Additional generalization that may be of help:
1. headache just on one side often = neuromuscular cause. Lie down flat, stretch gently, see an LMT who knows wtf they’re doing.
2. headache more or less equally distributed often = biochemical cause. Eat food, drink water, take a painkiller, take a nap.
(1.5: screaming, migraine-strength headache on one side may well = your neck muscles are so fucked up they’ve pulled C1 or C2 right up against your jaw, god I’m so sorry. That one’s a bitch to fix. And probably a baby chiropracter dies ever time I do it myself, but agonizing pain right fucking now, you know?)
Hello, friends! I finally was able to follow-up with the specialist on my autonomic testing and he wants to send me for more testing and more lab work and more treatment, and there is talk of sending me to Johns Hopkins. This, of course, is in addition to the thousands I already owe in medical bills, and I’m still not working (though I am trying to struggle through an unpaid internship).
So, if you would help spread the word on my commissions, any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, due to the increased cost, shipping on most items is now additional. I was trying to include it in the price previously, but that just has not been working out.
I am happy to do non-Trek characters! Other fandoms are totally welcome!
Please message me if you have any questions at all!
Ive been in Atlanta and I need out. Even if I go to living on the streets, I’d rather that than have my entire identity insulted and chocked up to me wanting to be “a special snowflake”
