Thought I’d jump onto this train for once… What an odd combo… either way I love it. Honestly, Star Trek TNG has always been a comfort show for me. I used to watch it every day after school and on weekends whenever it was on WGN.

Real honest moment here below the cut. Feel free to skip if not. [TDLR: Thank you to their creators. They mean so much to me.]

Star Trek TNG has always been there for me. As a kid growing up I would turn it on every day after school and on weekends in the afternoons when it would come on BBC America or WGN. I stopped needing it constantly on after my parents got divorced. Don’t get me wrong I’d still turn on an episode or two every so often but it wasn’t every day like it had been.

My senior year of college I found myself needing it again. First I turned it on for one of my classes. (I wrote so many papers on Data and the federation that semester.)

Then… I just didn’t turn it off until I moved out and discovered (You guessed it correctly) Ghost.

I would turn on daily marathons of TNG whenever I was in my apartment needing to escape the passive aggressive silence that filled it. I felt like Data again. Not understanding the humans around me and the emotional ‘cues’ that were being given to me. Any time I could have TNG on, I did. I felt that no matter how I approached the situation with my roommates I wouldn’t catch any hidden meanings in their tones. Only they wouldn’t take the time to explain or share exactly why they were upset. I remember having the apartment to myself at the beginning of the spring semester, just laying on the floor with it playing in the background and sobbing. (Between the living situation and losing my Grandma it was an odd combo of things)

Ghost came into my life around then. I didn’t fully look into it until later that summer after graduation. I found comfort in the bumbling anxious Cardinal. He seemed just as unsure about social interactions as I was. (It also helped that the music fucking slapped.)

I started obsessively listening to everything I could. My partner was so supportive, happy to see me have some sort of outlet while I worked my lonely accounting job. I loved the concept of them and when I managed to snag tickets to a ritual this past August I cried.

That ritual opened a fucking floodgate my guys, let me fucking tell you. I joked with my partner about starting to write Ghost fics, bringing up the line between regular fic and RPF, and when he traveled for a month I guess I had a bit too much time….

That month I wrote over 81,000 words. That month I posted around 3,000 words every other day. I created a massive fic that seemed to run and drag me along by the wrist.

I’m so grateful for everything Ghost has given me. New friends, a newfound passion for writing, and the spark I needed to start drawing again.

I guess what all of this was leading to was this: I’m so grateful to my boys for supporting me through these past few years. I’m grateful that when Tobias turned to his wife and pitched the idea of being a satanic pope on stage full time she said yes. I’m grateful that ST:TNG was available on Netflix and on cable for my entire childhood. I’m grateful that my mom introduced me to Star Trek and Star Wars early on.

I uh….yeah. Thank you to my boys. Thank you to the fandoms.

Imma just set this one down and walk away for a bit…. It’s time for bed.

Okay I'm not very active in star trek fandom so I don't really know what's popular but am I the only one shocked at the distribution of Star Trek fanfic???

I was really expecting the order to go TOS and Kelvin (for Spirk) > DS9 > TNG but it's not even close. VOY has more than DS9 and is almost double TNG? And ENT is almost as much as TNG too? Is it just that they're more recent so possibly more people have preserved their fanfics that they wrote while VOY and ENT were airing?

I was fully expecting DS9 to be really high up because all I ever see all over tumblr is Garak x Bashir.

And then TNG is so iconic and loved and also there are so many possible ships??? Riker and Troi, Data and Geordi, Data and Picard, QCard, Picard and Beverley, etc. And I'm also surprised there's like NO Riker x reader?

#idk the point of this rant #not really a rant just wondering #like its not a competition #but also all i read is tng fics #and im running out of fics that fit my very specific criteria #star trek #start trek tng #ds9 #spirk #fanfic

Finally getting into Star Trek TNG after wanting to for years and now I’m crying actual tears over Data’s android daughter. :’-(

On a more positive side, I’d like to draw some fanart but I have no ideas. Any suggestions?

introducing a friend to star trek after they already know it’s the basis for your personality is a little strange because it’s sooooo silly but is also the most fundamentally earnest portrait of deep human truths in the universe but they cover these actors in latex every day and say a lot of made-up words very seriously and they have a LARP machine on board and whoopi goldberg is there sometimes and it will change your LIFE but in a way where i’m completely normal about it

#star trek #tng #i started her with ‘clues’ and it went very well! #you really get to meet everybody in that one and see them all doing their jobs #(deanna’s job is sometimes to get taken over by aliens) #i think she would really have loved the ds9 première but i decided 42 minutes and the bright lights of tng were a better on ramp #she said she’ll watch another episode soon!! taking suggestions

Sometimes I find myself wishing that Data actually got a chance to parent a child or at least interact with more of them. Like Timothy.

What the fuck happened to Timothy after the episode? Poor Timothy.

I bought a note book to write down my Star Trek next gen thoughts in.

It immediately turned into me thirsting for Riker and relating to data

I don’t know what I expected

My favourite thing in TNG is when someone off handedly says something to Data and he makes that face and goes 'hm' AND THEN PROCEDES TO DO THE MOST BATSHIT THINGS FOR NO REASON
