I found this Youtube channel run by a Japanese chef and it’s actually better than porn? First all all his cinematography is off the charts. Youtube videos have no business looking that good. Second of all, everything he makes looks SO TASTY, and he explains the recipes in such a simple, soothing, manner. Third off all, he does this all while his two adorable kitties watch??? Like… they are so intent on what hes doing but they never run around or hop on the counter???? He has a stool for them to sit on as he makes his recipes Im gunna die

Tiers of fanfic accessibility:

1. Written for general audiences

2. Presumes familiarity with the source material’s major characters and the broad outlines of its premise

3. Presumes familiarity with the events of individual episodes/chapters of the source material

4. Presumes familiarity with a particular fandom AU

5. Presumes familiarity with a specific headcanon, joke or meme known only to those who’ve been following the author’s blog since 2012

(This isn’t a joke or a callout post - at least, not entirely. I’m certainly not saying it’s wrong to write anything above a 2 or a 3, but it does pay to be aware of what tier you’re on. There’s a big difference between intentionally writing for a particular audience, and unwittingly limiting your readership because you don’t have a clear notion of what you’re demanding of them.)

From a readers point of view, tier one is a dangerous one as well. Because if you’re an amazing author and I’ve read all your stuff for the fandoms I’m in, but you’ve got a oneshot for a fandom I’m not in, and it has a summary general enough that I decide to give it a shot, then I’m going to read that fic, because I want more of your writing, and I’m going to enjoy it and grow curious about this new book/show/movie, and then next thing you know I’ve downloaded 5 seasons of a show and I haven’t seen sunlight in three days

^^^^ Literally one of my favorite Geordi and Data interactions for SO many reasons.

First, I love that Geordi will talk to Data about almost anything, but when Data starts in on some stupid joke, Geordi’s first instinct is “Oh, no…” followed by a sprint for the exit. Like he doesn’t even take his VISOR with him. He will do anything, pay anything, leave his sight behind to escape the monotone, hallmark humor he is about to be subjected to.

Second, I love that Data’s first instinct, when his friend begins to flee from his attempt at humor is to block his only route of escape. As if Geordi is being crazy and he just doesn’t understand how hilarious this joke is going to be. He must tell his best friend his new joke, no matter the cost.

Third, I love that then he slowly pushes his friend back into the room as he recites his stupid, centuries-old joke in a complete monotone. This is what the rise of robots will look like. Not Skynet. Not the Matrix. Just socially awkward, pale androids locking us in a room and forcing us to listen to their bad jokes.

And finally, I love that Geordi listens, then just shakes his head, and Data shakes his head, too. Like I can’t tell if Data is following Geordi’s head movements like a kitten or if he’s shaking his head because deep down he knew it wasn’t a good joke and Geordi is just confirming his suspicions.

I JUST LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH
