#star trek things

[booty-voyages]

I don't want more dark and gritty Star Trek. Keep your wars far away from me. Bring back the hope! Bring on the wonder! Time travel and whales saved the Earth once. I want to explore kooky worlds with dudes in funky costumes! I want absurd plots that let the cast have fun and be silly. Have episodes that do nothing to advance the storyline. Put that cgi to work and make something incredible! Let the plot be goofy! Embrace the strange! Boldly go, my friends. There's a whole universe out there of amazing things. Let us be part of it!

Star Trek things I love, in no particular order:

When they would get an animal, add some minor costume to it, and bang....it's an alien. Yes, the unicorn dog from TOS is the perfect example of this.

The little smile Lieutenant Malcolm Reed gets when he gets to blow something up.

Also on Enterprise, that bitch fight rogue sparring between Reed and Hayes. That was glorious. And hilarious.

Janeway and her coffee

Bashir and Garak. Need I say more?

The spots on the Trills. Idk. I just like leopard/cheetah patterns and this reminds me of them.

Andorian antennae and the fact that they move. They're warriors but look adorable.

This....weird scene

And there's way more but this list would end up endless.

My introduction to Star Trek was in the late ’80s. I was young and fancied myself a clever girl as I worked a special sort of mischief at bedtime, turning myself into a chameleon and blending into the couch next to my father while he tuned into TNG. My father, who also crafted a special sort of magic by way of avoidance, especially when it came to his daughters, always seemed surprised to see me next to him when the credits rolled, and he would hurry me off to bed with a hushed “don’t tell your mother.” I don’t remember anything spectacular about TNG, or if it sparked my imagination in any way, my sole agenda when it first aired was to stay up past my bedtime. (it should be known that I pulled the same antics with my mother and the show Dallas, albeit far more unsuccessfully.) I continued watching with him long after my bedtime was changed, and I was then forced to find other stalling tactics and late-night television shows as an excuse to stay up late (hello, NYPD Blue). When Voyager came on a few years later, we tuned in together, without preamble and without fail. And if, by some strange twist of fate, I missed an episode, he would record it for me (on VHS! which required a small measure of faffing about). Voyager is the only Star Trek series that captured my attention fully and completely (and became the stuff of imaginings and daydreams), while my father has watched every minute of Star Trek that has ever aired with the enthusiasm of a Vulcan, for he is a fan of nothing (so he would tell you), and he would despise being referred to as a "Trekker." And now, just this morning, while he was at my house collecting cardboard from my garage (and faffing about!), he learned that I was watching Picard, which created perhaps the most robust conversation I have had with him in a very long time. And it's just got me thinking....

#jeez. this is a bit introspective for a tuesday #I called picard tired and a womanizer which earned me a chuckle #he told me picard is his favourite #star trek things

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

#spock baby im sorry but it looks like the backdrop of one of those alpha male podcasts #nurse chapel is stronger then me because if i saw this frat boy ass decor i would have immediately gotten the ick and left #the lack of coherent design is so funny #ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TO CURTAIN IS COVERING THE SHELVES WHICH IS SUCH A SMALL THING BUT IT MAKES ME SO MAD WHY SPOCK WHY #i hope bones never saw this room because he would have a fucking field day #star trek #star trek tos #spirk #jim kirk #spock #tos

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

#star trek #Vulcans #Humans #not based on a specific thing #but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’ #who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field? #like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq #and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first #would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate #and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for #and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance #the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times #they were just dicks #and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it. #it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible #you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier #but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks. #that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on #and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post #but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks #and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be #replaced #hated that couple #if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us #(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀) #liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people #that no one else wanted to be friends with #I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone #this got long sorry 😭

I know it wouldnt make sense for the character, but i wish Q’s judge outfit was more of a constant thing. “weh weh it doesnt fit the context of those other scenes!!” Counterpoint: it looked sick

If someone else asks me if I know my eye is red, I’m sooooo tempted to tell them, “Finally! My dream of becoming a Borg is happening!!!”

experimenting w making little trek dolls for the STLV craft swap :))

#sisko first bc idk how I'm gonna make hair LMAO but isn't he so cute?? #made the doll a while ago but I just made his little outfit today and yesterday :)) #hopefully giving them away for free means no one will mind the shoddy craftsmanship lmao #I think I've set a new record for terrible hand sewing. and there's raw edges on the inside. and none of the thread is the right color #but WHO CARES HES SO CUTE!!!! #it's the early ds9 uniform bc I've been watching voy and I'm sooo enamored with their uniforms ugh I need to make an actual life size one #watching voyager will have u saying things like. surely it can't be that hard to sew an invisible zipper?? #anyways. need to figure out how to make hair so I can make characters other than him and picard 💀💀 #ds9 #star trek #benjamin sisko #deep space nine #captain sisko #narcissus's echoes #narcissus plays dress up #(?)

forget the guys who pitched amok time I wanna meet the guys who pitched wolf in the fold. “yeah the plot of this episode is that they go to planet fuck nasty and Scotty gets addicted to killing women. but don’t worry it’s not actually him it’s a weird alien ghost manifestation of Jack the Ripper possessing the body of a little bald man with a funny voice.” genius. misunderstood. ahead of their time. truly terrible episode 0/5 stars but full points for trying

#literally a masterpiece but also the worst thing I’ve ever watched #star trek #star trek tos #montgomery scott #wolf in the fold

[dig-jules]

one thing about Jim is he is gonna have the time of his LIFE doing a little skit during a mission. He is going to do undercover espionage and put his WHOLE ASS into the costume alone (facial reconstruction surgery). He is going to commit to the bit so hard and loop so many people into his little improv theater production that it breaks down a functioning society of androids

And he’s gonna sit there while it happens like this

#the one thing he got from Shatner is being the most expressive and theatrical girl in the room #star trek #star trek tos #jim kirk #i mudd #the enterprise incident #Captain Kirk

[daftmooncretin]

my absolute favourite thing about the kirk and spock dynamic is that the whole time you’re watching the show spock is gaslighting you into thinking that kirk is this loose canon and spock is paragon of logic keeping his captain on the straight and narrow when its very clearly the other way round. aside from being turned on by everyone and fighting like an old-timey boxer…. kirk is just like.. quite a logical, stable guy. like yeah he rules with his emotions but he’s rarely reckless or erratic, even in situations of immense pressure he’s always calm and measured. sure kirk is unhinged and insane, but we knew that right off the bat. spock on the other hand tries to hide how insanely balls to the walls crazy he is by standing next to jim and hiding all his derangement with logic. i think the reason bones beefs with spock so much because he is the only one who has noticed that spock is an absolutely unhinged individual. (jim is too busy doodling <3 mr jim spock <3 all over his briefings to notice)

#remember that time spock mutinied and pretended to be jim lmao #hes so girl math #and kirk was like lmao fair enough love you while bones just stood there like MUTINY??? #we know that bones is the only thing keeping that ship afloat at this point lmao #star trek #star trek tos #spock #kirk #bones mccoy #jim kirk #james t kirk #spirk #tos

can't believe garak went from 'hope you have fun following my little breadcrumb trail of maybe-truths doctor it builds character ;)' at the beginning of the show to '*sigh* fuck it here's the whole loaf. the entire fucked up bakery of my soul. if you somehow still wanna have sex with me after this you know where I am, yours in infinite longing etc.' in a stitch in time. has anyone ever been so pathetically horrifically enduringly down bad as garak is for julian (laudatory)

#that's some real lodestar simp stuff you've got going on garak and I'm so happy for you/sorry . I guess that's the thing about love #garashir #elim garak #star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #I take the same approach to 'a stitch in time' that I do to deacon's final story in fallout 4 -- I'm agnostic on if ALL details are true #but overall it's certainly *emotionally* truer than even the truth could be sort of situation. genuinely emotionally intimate finally. #which I think is the more important part #and part of that is being weapons grade longing material fjdskjafsa. off the pining scale.
