sorry I can’t come over right now I’m too busy explaining to these people that “which trek is the best?” and “which trek do you love the most?” and “which trek is your favorite?” are actually three separate questions with three separate answers

being a Star Trek fan is watching tos and hearing this beautiful Vulcan theme that is so evocative and captures the majesty and the mysteriousness of the tos Vulcans so well and being like “wow, let me look up what this theme is called so I can listen to it again!” and then. well. huh. well. ok. I guess it’s called more soup. that’s fine. sure.

there’s plenty of schrodinger’s trans characters in Star Trek but one that I think we don’t really appreciate as much is seven? Like plenty of people do headcanon her as trans but I don’t think we talk enough about the fact that the borg definitely canonically don’t have a concept of individual genders so like if seven identifies as anything other than like……. us/ours (plural) for the rest of her life then she definitely unequivocally does not identify with her agab (assigned gender at borg)

#star trek #voy #seven #seven of nine #like I cannot stress enough that the Borg definitely don’t use labels like man/demigirl/genderqueer #those aren’t things they have #so even if you read her as 100% binary woman she’s still definitely trans. because there are no borg women. or borg genders #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

una calls chris babygirl in private (ironically?). spock and erica know this and start doing it too as a joke behind his back. multiple bridge officers catch on and suddenly everyone is saying it. spock is somewhat mortified but erica and christine are actively egging it on. six months later and three bottles of wine into a dinner party hemmer is assuring nyota, “no it’s an inside joke he doesn’t mind if you call him that” and half the bridge officers are about to witness the funniest thing that has ever happened to them. also somehow una, chris, AND nyota are NEVER going to live this down

i am hyperfixated on the idea that there’s a whole swath of starfleet officers who think the “destruction” of the discovery was a section 31 conspiracy and they’re still out there somewhere. and the discovery becomes like part of the starfleet mythos. and chris keeps running into cadets who wrote their senior thesis about “what really happened to the discovery.” and 9000 years into the future michael keeps running into people that are actually disappointed to learn that the discovery went into the future and there was no conspiracy.

what if we called each other by our first names? (and we were both starfleet officers 😳)?

#star trek #snw #tos #spock #captain kirk #captain pike #una chin-riley #btw if I ever make a post like this it’s about spirk or pikeone but yknow. I’ll call it up to interpretation #but yes this is about Jim…….. #oh or it’s about ashchris but no one even ships them :( #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

and as if she wasn’t radiant enough on her own butch prince ortegas has to be right there behind her oh my god

#star trek #snw #la’an noonien singh #la’an noonien-singh #erica oretegas #jabilo m’benga #this is episode is going to do terrible things to me I already know it #jeez #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

so t’pring always calls chris by his first name and I can only imagine this is because

1. she doesn’t respect him or starfleet as an institution and is always passive aggressively chrising him to his face to remind him of that

OR

2. they are buddies and on a first name basis and spock just has to deal with the fact that his fiancee is like besties with his boss

and both are like outrageously funny so I don’t even care which one it is

#star trek #snw #captain pike #christopher pike #spock #t’pring #spock amok #i like the idea that they’re besties #but also she hates him and won’t respect him is so so funny because it would piss spock off #so idk #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

[mlmcaptainpike]

ive stopped caring about spock and t’pring dating and continuity because i’ve decided that the fact that they love each other now means that they will have to have some knock down drag out megabitch fight to set up amok time and THAT is the kind of drama and flair i’m tuning in to see

#star trek #snw #spock #t'pring #actually its funnier this way. i want to see them scream at each other #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

the threesomes of voyager are so funny because you have harry/b’elanna/tom who of course have their issues but at heart they’re all very loving and very passionate about each other and they always enjoy each other’s company. but then there’s janeway/chakotay/tuvok which has the energy of a marriage of convenience but it actually appears to be highly inconvenient for everyone involved.

look i for one think they could turn chris’s horsegirlness up to eleven and just include like 20 scenes of him infodumping about why quarter horses are superior to una or something like that

#star trek #snw #captain pike #number one #christopher pike #una chin-riley #unas had this talk like twenty times and she still doesn't understand what makes a horse 'hot' #but hey thats her best friend so who gives a fuck #basically my fantasy unachris relationship is like the one between me and my best friend lmao #bran thinks n stuff #emersen thinks n stuff

into the forest i go is like the funniest fucking episode of discovery ever because lorca is like “we need people to go infiltrate the Klingon ship, who can go infiltrate the Klingon ship for me. btw this is really important and nothing can go wrong” and Tyler (got tortured by Klingons for 7mo) and Burnham (parents killed by Klingons) are like “sounds like a job for team ashburn!”
