It surprises me when people say Chapel doesn’t have a trait, personality, or plotline other than being Spock’s love interest... Let me list all the things we know and have seen about this amazing character.
Christine Chapel is a nurse on The Enterprise. She is on civilian exchange from the Stanford Morehouse Epigenetic Project. She is also a part of Starfleet’s initiative to better observe alien cultures without contamination.
M’Benga treats her as an equal. Pike called her “doctor” in the very first episode which suggests that her medical knowledge and experience must be impressive.
She is an expert on genetic modification. She can mess with your genome and temporarily turn you into an Alien. And she makes it look easy.
She is also interested in archeological medicine. She is doing fieldwork, making discoveries, and writing papers on the subject while doing her other duties on the ship.
Long story short she is quite the genius!
She is outgoing, friendly, witty, funny, adventurous, strong, brave but also compassionate and emotional.
She doesn’t judge, she accepts people for who they are.
She is confident in her abilities. She doesn’t take anyone’s BS. “I don’t think the Vulcan Fellowship is ready for me”… No one, not even Vulcans can bully or make her feel insecure.
But when she was a kid she was bullied. Milo, her Malamute, bit one of those bullies. Good boy!
As it was implied in one of the episodes she is most probably bi.
She has a vulnerable side. She is afraid of commitment. Afraid of romantic relationships getting deep. Perhaps even afraid of falling in love. She uses humor when things get too serious or personal for her. There is a story waiting to unfold in time. And i can’t wait to know more of it!
She was in the Klingon War with M'Benga. They witnessed the ugly face of war and had to make some hard decisions. They used (perhaps even developed) an illegal serum that temporarily gives them enough power and stamina to survive against Klingons. This left a scar on her as much as it did on M'Benga. We will revisit this story in episode 8 (i guess).
She knows how to fight. She is a quick thinker during stressful situations. And she is a badass. For example, she can handle space pirates and all she needs is a hypospray! She can deal with baby Gorns and survive!
She is heroic. She would jump into space without an EV suit to prevent a war.
Oh and she is also Spock's love interest and it's a delicious relationship that enrichens both characters.
This is what we got in 15 episodes. I'm sure we'll learn more about her and she will get new storylines in the seasons to come.
Enough with the pathetic targeting of roleplayers on Tumblr! It's downright despicable, especially given that the majority of these creative individuals are minors. Get a grip on reality and find something better to do with your time than spewing disrespect.
LISTEN UP, if I catch wind of any more of these toxic comments, I'll make it my mission to unearth your sorry identity and ensure your account is obliterated. Consider this a warning – back off and let people enjoy their space without your mindless aggression. The consequences will be swift and severe.
To those who have been hurt by the senseless targeting on Tumblr, I offer my sincere apologies. Remember, it's not a crime to pursue your passions, including roleplaying. Don't let the negativity of others dictate what brings you joy. Do what you love, stay true to yourself, and embrace your interests without reservation. Your well-being matters, and there are supportive communities out there who appreciate and respect your creative endeavors. Keep shining and doing what makes you happy. 💙
IF YOU SEE ONE OF THESE ASSHOLES TAUNTIN' OTHER ROLEPLAYERS, TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!
Back in 1997, a 6-year-old kid saw this (in)famous scene from GODZILLA VS MEGALON (via HOLLYWOOD DINOSAURS), and he’s wanted more Godzilla (and kaiju) ever since. It’s about damn time he did fan art of it.
I also felt like making a painting that was on the sillier side. We artists take our craft seriously, but that doesn’t mean the subject matter has to be serious. Most of my paintings have been on the serious side, so this ought to shake things up a tad.
Plus, I got to give these 11x17 canvases I got at Five Below a shot. I can finally make 11x17 prints of one of my paintings without having to do any special cropping/resizing.
For you girls hating on Evan Peters supposed new gf
If you're going to call yourself a fan, and then hate on him for just getting a girl or hate on her bc she got 'your man' who's actually just your celebrity crush (obsession) who never heard about you and doesn't know you. He's not going to choose you if you keep on projecting your insecurities on a woman who never hurt you in her life. Go out, touch some grass and get off your phone or whatever device you're on. Tbh, I'm ngl, I wish that was me but it's not like I had a chance anyways. Let them live their lives instead of hating just to get noticed, he's not gonna fuck you, you're just being petty. I saw her IG post, she's so pretty. So don't be toxic and just wish for them to be happy. That and the fact we know how it was tough for him. After the shit Evan has been through he deserves to be happy and his fans shouldn’t ruin that for him. Thank you if you made it this far.
They're litr so cute. Also while listening to Lana!!!
