God, I do hope in star trek they have a free universal health care because oh boy I feel like no insurance ever can afford the amount of therapy Kirk will need when he's retired

Star Trek Captains but it’s their D&D Classes

Captain James T. Kirk: Bard, College of Valor/Swords

Dude’s primary information gathering and self defense tactic is to flirt with the unknown/enemy. He makes really dramatic speeches and is notoriously well read. He’s also got an estranged child which such a stereotypical bard thing to have lmao. Maybe he took a couple levels in Fighter to bolster his Bardic abilities, or maybe Monk because… Kirk-fu.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Wizard, School of Divination

No doubt about it. He’s got that archaeology and ancient history background, tends to Captain based strongly on his intelligence. His adventures tend to be cerebral and mindfucky and occasionally very dry when the writing is meh. His prevailing character motivation is curiousity, which can be said for all Star Trek captains but him especially.

Captain Benjamin Sisko: Cleric, War Domain

Of the Prophets, obviously, he’s got all that Emissary business going on and is seen as a religious figure by the majority of Bajor and the Prophets give him visions, ensured he would be born, and have a plan for him which he reluctantly follows. War domain because I mean… DS9 is a post-war/war drama and Sisko’s character and actions are irrevocably influenced by that fact.

Captain Katherine Janeway: Ranger, Horizon Walker

Her primary goal is to shepherd her crew through extremely alien and difficult territory, what could possibly be more Ranger-y than that? She equips herself and her ship with cobbled together alien technologies completely unknown to the rest of Starfleet and survives dangers equally foreign. Horizon Walkers guard and are influenced by the ley lines of the dimensional barriers they protect, Janeway is no different!

Captain Johnathan Archer: Fighter, Battle Master

The most textbook Fighter energy I have ever witnessed. This guy has so much just-some-guy energy (both affectionate and derogatory) that he makes everyone else incredibly exciting for being even a little different. This dude is the Soldier 76 of Star Trek, he’s trying really hard to be like, curious and progressive but falls back on his militaristic nature a bit too much at times. He’s just trying to hold this gaggle of geniuses and drama queens together and I can’t really fault him for that.

Captain Michael Burnham: Rogue, Inquisitor

Ferocious and curious with a bit of a morally complex volatility that makes her seem alone even when she’s in a crowd. Stereotypical dark/edgy backstory that ties her to a beloved character from the franchise. Principles are precious to her because she learned the cost of forsaking them the hard way. Which also makes her really good at piercing through bullshit even though she’s still working through a looooooot of her own. Love that for her.

Captain Christopher Pike: Paladin, Oath of Devotion

Absolutely overpowering Paladin vibes, he couldn’t possibly be anything else. This guy almost literally functions like a D&D Paladin within the narrative of Star Trek it’s kind of nuts! Even the default tenets of that Paladin oath are really close to Pike’s “service, sacrifice, compassion, and love” mantra! Part healer, charisma caster (aura of courage much??), part kickass combat class. Starfleet’s poster boy, principled lawful good occasionally to a fault.

Ah right, you're verboten. Barred from the Hall of the Fallen, until you save one human life.

kirk was already stolen from berserk

🐰 + Layla Dupreti, please??

@dancingsunflowers-ocs ✨❤️💙💛✨

Of course of course!! Thanks for the ask, Alexandra!!

Their berserk button: Many things (😅), but especially when people try to excuse or dismiss horrible things done a long time ago because they’re “in the past”. Few things piss her off more than people trying to diminish the impact of horrible things just because they weren’t done recently.

Why their name was chosen: The name Layla means night, and since she was born at exactly midnight, her parents thought it suited her.

Their favorite 2020s song: “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish.

Their biggest fear: That her parents and sister would be ashamed off all the crimes she’s committed and the things she’s done.

One turn-on of theirs: Competency. People being good at what they do definitely as the power to get her going.

Their go-to sleepover activities: She doesn’t really have sleepovers, and she certainly never had one before joining the Enterprise crew.

What candles they'd get at Bath & Bodyworks: Bubbly Rosé; she likes how light and fresh the scent is, even if she’ll punch Sulu for teasing her about sniffing a bright pink candle.

A moment where they reached their breaking point: After yet another attack on the Enterprise crew, when Kirk was seriously injured and even Bones wasn’t sure if he’d survive. Layla had been through losing so many people she cared about before, and the thought of Kirk, the first person since her family to actually believe in her and give her a chance, dying sent her spiralling, punching all the walls in her room and ending up curled up in Sulu’s arms numb with fear and sadness.

Whether they're organized or slobby: Intensely organized - she always had to be when she was a thief and spy, and she never really broke the habit.

Their favorite feature about themselves: Her determination.

send me 🐰 + an oc!!

also if nothing else, The Tholian Web showed how Kirk truly is the soul of the Enterprise. I don’t think it was a coincidence that when Spock announced Kirk was no longer alive, a crew member went berserk. Without its soul, the ship and the crew can’t function.

Tag some people you want to get to know better. Tagged by @likeyua. Thank you! 😊

Three ships: Spock/Kirk (Star Trek), Vi/Caitlyn (Arcane), Guts/Casca (Berserk)

First ship ever: Honestly? I don't remember. I've had blorbos from my shows since I was a little kid. I guess one of the early examples would be Lina Inverse/Gourry Gabriev (The Slayers), anyone remember that show?

Last song: Black Heart by Frozen Crown

Last movie: Resident Evil: The Final Chapter

Currently watching: I've just finished Arcane and the old Berserk TV show and I'm still recovering.

Currently reading: I've just finished reading the first Witcher book and I've started Pyramids by Terry Pratchett.

Currently consuming: Green tea with honey and a little bit of elderflower syrup after eating a grilled cheese sandwich with some vegetable salad.

Currently craving: Just a little bit of peace and quiet. Everything's been happening too much recently.

Tagging: @celamity, @flaine1996, @illusivesoul, @ibethalantyr, @avandra, @thunderboltfire. As usual, only if you feel like doing them. 👍

Idea for Warframe fanfic, writing them down.

Tenno Team rescues an unknown Void-Ship from the middle of a Grineer vs Corpus Warzone, and the ship it turns out to be an Extra-Solar Alien Culture with very much thankful (to the Tenno) and alive crew.

The crew are a species/culture diverse mix of Diplomats, Scientists, Security/Warriors, and the like, and are part of the Galactic Alliance’s (better name pending) investigation to both the Tau and Sol Systems.

The Captain of the “Hands of Fate” Ship goes by “Zed-X”, and is basically the one the Tenno/Lotus interact with the most. From a race of “Cat People”, she is more the “Riker/Kirk” style Captain. Very determined to help.

...

The “Face Tenno”, the team of 4 that lead the fic are:

Zimm (They/She): My Tenno, the “protag” Tenno, in a sense. Basically the one that did most of the quests. The Nerd and self-appointed leader. Primarily uses Umbra for this fic.

Nora (She/Her): The Berserker. The original Valkyr, who felt her Warframe be tortured by Alad V. Hates Corpus with a Passion. A jerk with a heart of gold. Uses Valkyr.

Jacks (He/They): The peace bringer, and big softy. Works often with Steel Meridian to rescue defectors. Uses a Rhino.

Dani (Ze/Zem): The Playful (who hides a wickedness). Plays up zeir buffoonish tendencies so people under estimate zem. Uses Garuda.

...

Lotus is Radiant in this timeline, set after Duviri (will only bother writing after Duviri comes out.)

I'm a womanizer like Captain Kirk Gimme a couple honeys and I'll go to work Girls they see me and they go berserk It's always "Scourge, Take off your shirt!"

Legendary Fantasy Artist Frank Frazetta’s Epic Work “The Berserker” Available Worldwide on Epiphone.com

For 150 years, Epiphone has been a leading innovator in instrument design. By leveraging its iconic past and leaning into the future, Epiphone has now set the stage for the next era of sound for present and future generations. Epiphone is proud announce the long-awaited Adam Jones and Epiphone partnership has now arrived with the release of the Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection. This unprecedented, limited-edition collection blends Adam’s love of fine art and music, resulting in seven, iconic and unique Les Paul Custom Silverburst masterpieces which feature the artwork of five distinguished visual artists curated by Adam Jones of TOOL. The Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is now available worldwide at authorized Epiphone dealers and on www.epiphone.com.

The second model to debut in the Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is Frank Frazetta’s “The Berserker.” Known as the Godfather of fantasy art, acclaimed artist Frank Frazetta was an illustrator of comic books, movie posters and paperback book covers whose visions helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and more. This guitar displays Frank Frazetta’s masterpiece, “Berserker” on the back of the guitar, artwork on the rear headstock is designed by world-renowned artist Korin Faught. The artwork “Berserker,” also known as “Conan The Conqueror,” was painted by Frazetta in 1968, for the cover of the Conan The Conqueror paperback novel by author Robert E. Howard. The original artwork is currently owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Conan® is a registered trademark of Conan Properties International LLC.

Frank Frazetta was born in Brooklyn on February 9, 1928, and as a boy studied art at the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. He began drawing for comic books of all stripes--westerns, mysteries, fantasies--when he was still a teenager. He was also a good enough baseball player to try out for the New York Giants. Frazetta was a versatile and prolific comic book artist who, in the 1940s and ’50s, drew for comic strips like Al Capp’s “Lil’ Abner” and comic books like “Famous Funnies,” for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer, Buck Rogers. Explore the artwork of Frank Frazetta, HERE.

"My exposure to Frank Frazetta began early in my life. There’s something about his artwork that has spoken to me for as long as I can remember,” says Adam Jones. “When I was very young, I would save money to buy his adult comic art and pulp novel covers without my parents’ knowledge, sneaking them into the house undetected. To this day, as I work on my own projects, I’m transported back to those moments of discovery and influence. Frank’s technical prowess is unmatched in his genre (I’m such a proud nerd…) and he continues to be one of my heroes.

When Cesar at Gibson and I discussed a line of fine art-enhanced guitars, I hoped we would get permission to use one of Frank’s images, and I am so grateful to his estate for allowing us to use ‘Berserker’ on this Epiphone Les Paul."

“I was 13 years old when I first heard the TOOL song ‘Schism,’ it immediately resonated with me on a spiritual level and I’ve been a fan ever since,” adds Sara Frazetta, Granddaughter of Frank Frazetta. “To collaborate with Adam Jones and my Grandfather’s artwork on this gorgeous new Epiphone Art Collection of guitars has been amazing and seeing the guitars, it’s clear Frazetta’s art was destined for guitars.”

Break My Heart 1,000 Times by Daniel Waters

Living in the aftermath of the Event means that seeing the dead is now a part of life, but Veronica wishes that the ghosts would just move on. Instead, the ghosts aren’t disappearing—they’re gaining power. When Veronica and her friend, Kirk, decide to investigate why, they stumble upon a more sinister plot than they ever could have imagined. One of Veronica’s high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his dead daughter has never returned as a ghost, and he’s haunted by the possibility that she’s waiting to reappear within a fresh body. Veronica seems like the perfect host. And even if he’s wrong, what’s the harm in creating one more ghost?

I enjoyed this book, but when it reach chapter 44 it started to be a bit confusing: police would look at Bittner more seriously as suspect for Mary's murder than what happens in the book, Kirk & Ronnie didn't seem to know that Bittner had a deceased daughter at all, but after being attacked (by Bittner, but they didn't see him) they got berserker against Bittner and Kirk had an argument with Pescatelli, mentioning Bittner's deceased daughter, even if he never mentioned to know about her before that moment. Also at chapter 48 Ronnie & Kirk had an argument for a stupid reason and Ronnie being angry at Kirk is a nonsense and at chapter 49 Kirk broke the camera, but few pages later Kirk seems to have a new one... I don't understand when or who gave him a new camera. This book leaves a lot of questions opened, like: what is The Event? Why it happened? If Madeline Bittner isn't the one who suggested to her husband to kill the girls to have their daughter back, who did it? Who was the entity impersonating Madeline Bittner to persuade her husband to kill? Why some ghost like Brian and Madeline seems to be more indipendent that the others? I don't know if there is a sequel or if this is a self-standing novel, but it seems to open a lot of unsolved questions to the reader.
