Once upon time

There was a Fanvid. Viggorli, set to Just Breathe. I went looking for it a while ago but it was gone. I wish I could see it again.

I don’t know if anyone has ever done this before but, here ya go… The Different Types of Fanfiction! 

I probably left a few out, but these are the most common, compared to their base fiction’s canon plot. Enjoy! XD

“The way they defeated the aliens in Star Trek Beyond is unrealistic!”

For your convenience, here is a list of some other ways Star Trek villains have been defeated:

By Kirk reciting the Declaration of Independence really passionately

Kirk literally fighting himself

Kirk fighting himself again (this time while Spock watched)

Fat tribbles eating the problem away

Dr. McCoy applying mortar to an acidic rock creature

Spock mind-melding with a probe

Literal whales

The power of love defeating V’ger

Spock killing Kirk instead of having sex (Kirk got better)

An omnipotent being got his ass grounded by his parents

By doing literally nothing and history happened the way it would have anyway (plus there was a cat who turned into a hot lady)

The crew dressed up in suits and threatened to shoot gangsters

Kirk explaining birth control to an overpopulated planet

By making children cry

So you see, Beyond is actually well within the Star Trek tradition of ridiculousness.

How to perform the great rite of banishing:

Be sure you really want this item gone forever

Locate the item you wish to permanently banish to the spirit realm

Think “I don’t want to lose this, I should put it somewhere sensible”

Put it somewhere sensible.

It is done, the item is gone from your life forever.

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

Weekly there is a conversation either with Bob Greenblatt, who is the President of NBC, or with Peter Roth, who is the head of Warner Brothers Television, and an ongoing conversation with the cast members about doing something again. Whether it was a limited 8-part series, or a 2-hour special, or reviving the series wholesale… What people love is the cast. They want to spend time with this cast every week. What nobody wants is “A Very Brady Reunion” show. They always let us down. We get disappointed by that. If I can come up with an idea that works… Basically, it’s the same as it’s always been. If I can think of an idea, I would do it in a second. I am mindful of the, I don’t want to use the word legacy, but the show holds a fond place in many people’s memories. That means a lot to me. I just want to respect that.
