Cat Detective's Complete History of Time

So I guess almost every day this week I’ve had anxiety and/or panic attacks while either in an arts class or on the bus, so… bleh. (it doesn’t help that there is often one or more people on the bus I take who are having panic attacks, crying jags, and fits of their own, and I just soak all that crap up and internalize it, and my emotional shielding has not been up to the task)

BUT, today even though I was having basically the worst day as far as that went, I saw a little wild rabbit out the bus window on the way home, and he scampered into a bush and was really freaking cute, so he made the ride more bearable, the little cutie. I really needed that.

tzikeh:

1) Benedict Cumberbatch gave a phenomenal performance as Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek: Into Darkness.

2) The casting of a white man as Khan Noonien Singh in 2013 is HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC.

3) Both of these things can be true at the same time.

4) No, really; they can.

Thank you.

My personal headcanon is that nuKhan is adopted… I mean, A) it’s the only way that makes sense, B) I am imagining he took his father’s first and last names, after being genetically engineered to perfection by him.

(I will say, as much as I think Cumberbatch’s performance was brilliant and enjoyable, imagine that movie with Sendhil Ramamurthy as Khan… and imagine the explosion of old Heroes fans flooding the Trek fandom. And then decide maybe it’s for the best that trends in Trek fanfic are not being influenced by people who wrote ‘Mylar’ slash fiction, I guess. That was kind of my thought process.)

So I follow tags for a couple of my OTPs, and while I am generally pleased with the state of the SniperSpy tag— not always active, but when it is, mm mm!— I’ve got one where people are tagging an entirely different pairing under there, like, just… basically alerting me to the fact that they ship one of the characters of my OTP with someone else (I don’t think that’s their aim, it’s just what they’re accomplishing, because ugh, come on, if something is already an established name/term for one pairing, you can’t decide to use it for a different ship and expect other people to be on board, it doesn’t work that way!)

This probably would not be bothering me if today hadn’t been a big ball of stress, and I won’t even go into most of it. The kind of stress even the world’s best chocolate cookie could not negate. Also not sure what is up with Steam for me right now…

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
