Bro They're All Looking At Me *blushes* Make Them Stop

It's both of them

Garashir be like: what if I forgave you for all your crimes that arent mine to forgive, my crimes arent even my own anyway?

What if you didn't think the crime of my existence abominable?

What if we were Angels cast down by our fathers, sheltered by foreign gods, defending lands we could never call home?

What if i didn't know how to be good? What if i didn't even know how to be myself?

What if i thought myself fundamentally unloveable? What if I loved you anyway?

What if it didn't matter? What if you were my only constant? What if I couldn't have you so i rebuilt my world in your image?

What if my arms remember the shape of you when all i am is rotted away?

Sorry I acted romantic and delusional again, you can kill me if you want

Thank you for Number One’s logic and bravery, Christine Chapel’s strength and compassion, Lwaxana’s vivaciousness and vibrance, for being a reassuring presence as the computer voice and voicing countless other characters in the Star Trek universe.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for Star Trek ♥

but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 accounts and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???

Julian is moping about turning 30 in a universe where humans regularly live to 150.

You vain little twink.
