Ironically the day after this secrey would have been submitted, Discovery was made available in the UK on the Pluto tv app, for now anyway. Paramount really rushed that deal through in a hurry, I think they forgot just how rabid crazy Trek fans get. Prodigy is still a no-show though.

[sparklywalls]

I never got around to Discovery so felt a bit "can't miss what I never had" about it but...I'm getting to the point where I'm a little fatigued over everyone having a streaming service. I'm not sure if this is just life now or the bubble will burst but there's a point where I'm considering not subscribing to any new ones and might ditch one or more of the ones I have at some point tbh.

I'm in the UK so e.g. our Netflix offering isn't too bad, but I know it can wildly vary depending on country. If other streaming platforms aren't putting up their best content everywhere I imagine people in a lot of European countries will think "pass" unless there's a show they really want to binge so they'll pay for a month or do a free trial.

I got kicked off a Trek forum for my theory that Tony Shaloub's character in Galaxy Quest had a Chinese name because it was a Trek in-joke about the fact that Brent Spiner played Dr. Soong.

I live in SEA and we're completely left out because it's not even on a streaming service that's available.

Yeah there's some people who really don't know how to tag.
Maybe it doesn't count as gentle dom - but the amount of times I've called it quits on a fic because every 3 sentences has the dom asking the sub their color to check in is ridiculous and takes me way out the mood.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen, in some kink-writing circles, an undercurrent of suspicion of anyone who is a dom and enjoys domming too much. There's a tendency to make all tops service tops, and not let the story focus on what the dom is getting out of it for themselves if it isn't all about caring for the sub.

This kind of is a thing in real-world BDSM too - the "life support system for a whip" thing where the dom's pleasure is treated as less important than the sub's.

Rightfully, the sub has the power to stop the scene at any time and that's sometimes interpreted as having ALL the power in the scene...which isn't really accurate.

I think there's a tendency to side-eye anyone who really enjoys being in command and inflicting pain, even in completely consensual contexts. This person has to exist for the sub to get what they want, but even some kink writers find their POV uncomfortable to dwell on. So they don't, and so they soft-pedal it, and "gentle kink" becomes barely kinky at all.

Honestly, there were a lot of factors at the time it got made that meant the cast ended up with a fair number of little-known actors in big roles. But presuming that there hadn't been a big fantasy movie series before (or anything that it opened the door to) and a promising, but still proving himself writer/director wanted people in New Zealand for a year and a half shoot, I think something like it could happen again. However, if were presuming in this time that there would have been an equivalent big fantasy series in place of LOTR that did as well as it did, then I think that, yes, there would be more big-name stars cast.

And just to make you feel old, Elijah Wood was 20 when Fellowship came out, so someone the same age as he was then in a film coming out now would have been born the year that movie came out.

Yeah it's not so much "imagine if the LOTR movies were made today", it's really "imagine if the LOTR movies were made today by Disney or Comcast"

I haven't seen Twin Peaks, but personally I would just assume he likes the diner coffee because diner coffee is weirdly good.

+1. I’d listen to Love on a Shelf over any Christmas songs ever and I regularly have Puppet History tunes in my head.

Oooh, I could get on board with Elayne/Aviendha! The way it is in the books never really sat well with me as it felt like a self insert who just couldn't decide on all the hot girls, rather than an intentional exploration.

Haven't watched it yet, but from what I've heard of the backstory changes it sounds rather unnecessary imho
