OH GODDDD why would you hurt me like this😭😭😭 keep epic away from mdzs fans!
personally i do think julian bashir is trans, but not in a way that sublimates his genetic alterations into a trans allegory. i think he's disabled and trans at the same time, but i think his rebellion against his parents--the symbolic death of his old self with the name change--that's not about gender, for him, at all.
it's about the incredible violation of autonomy he experienced as a disabled person under the knife of a eugenicist society. it's about the need to reclaim some, any, of the agency that was so completely stolen from him by his parents.
it's about discovering that his entire self was deconstructed and reconstructed, without his knowledge or consent, for the express purpose of being less of a burden on his parents.
because let's not forget that the death of julian's old self was not his decision. it was his parents who killed the old self and created a new one.
let's not forget that human society in star trek is still recovering from the eugenics wars--that just because it's post-scarcity doesn't mean it's a utopia.
let's not forget the multiple episodes where bashir is forced to confront the fact that his "success story" is truthfully a gross reminder of how deeply his society (and his family) hates disabled people, not only shown in how they tried to fix him, but also in the fact that the process so rarely works as intended, yet is still done anyway--and the failures and the ones too far gone to save are locked away! with no connection to general society, and only the bare minimum provision for their physical needs, with no privacy and no autonomy!
and let's not forget that julian sees these people and is torn between the empathy he has for them, and his urge to fix them. and he goes through with this urge on Sarina, "fixing" her to conform to his idea of what she ought to be, treating her as a problem to be solved, objectifying her via "my ideal woman was trapped in this disabled body/mind and i saved her," thus continuing the cycle of violence, because even he can't conceive of a world where the disabled do not need to be fixed. where the violence done to him was wrong. fuck man
Tragic canons gives fan fic writers much more freedom! And makes fix-it fics much more interesting especially those newtmas time travel fics heheh
I love newtmas so much genuinely one of my favourite ships and their relationship has LAYERS and I wish Newt could've went with Thomas to safe haven and spent their future together
BUT
If I had the power to somehow change Newts ending I'd keep it the same Wait! Wait! Put the pitchforks and torches down
Now hear me out Newts death was IMPORTANT and honestly to ME atleast what makes Newtmas so much more tragic is the fact that they were frankly doomed from the start (ESPECIALLY in the books) Newt was never gonna be happy he was never gonna be truly "free" something he'd always wanted.. and the fact that Thomas went to the maze after Newts attempt only for Newt to die by HIS OWN hands later on!
Newtmas is good because their ending was written in stone no matter what lengths thomas went for Newt... although they should've kissed 🙈hhehe
Still love those fix-it fics where Newt gets to live tho fan fic writers keep em coming
and if i say that wei wuxian and jiang cheng were always destined to end up the way they did then what.
even though i like jiang cheng as a character, i´m okay with him not being in wei wuxian´s life. wei wuxian deserves the happy, peaceful life he has with lan wangji without constantly being on the receiving end of jiang cheng´s negative emotions.
i told you guys i would get back on the spirk grind

Fic idea(cause i just watched the mirror ds9 episodes): Wangxian (and others) accidentally activate a mysterious artifact? Array? Whatever you want, and end up in an alt dimension where roles are flipped.
Here is how it plays in my head-
-The Wens won the war in this universe.
-Wangxian are in charge of one of the major outposts with Wwx in charge and Lwj as his loyal subordinate (who is in charge of the posts military)
-Characters such as wq and wn and Wen Yuan would also be alive and evil because.. yk edgy verse, (also maybe jyl is also evil just cause.)
-Nmj and Lxc are head of the resistance, Lxc absolutely hates lwj for betraying him and killing their uncle.
*The fic would mostly consist of the og!characters getting absolute whiplash at their opposites personality, and helping with the resistance while they're there basically just what happens in the actual st!mirror episodes lol!
Maze runner books are Newtmas coded while maze runner movies are thominho coded
Totally not saying this cause I started maze runner from the movie and thought "damn they must be the fandoms number 1 ship 😭
~They/them~, In many fandoms, I like art/writing sometimes i edit, certified lwj/wwx defender they did nothing wrong.
