“he’s my babygirl” *i point to the strangest little guy you’ve ever seen*

James T Kirk did not say “leave your bigotry in your quarters, there’s no room for it on the bridge.” in 1966 for any bigots to love Star Trek. Get out of the fandom you’re not welcome here.

Love that in both TOS and TNG the resident Slutty Man is a standard handsome alpha human male type and in DS9 it's this guy:

was talking with someone irl about Star Trek the other day and this person really hates Discovery for many stupid reasons (misogyny) and he was whining about like. casual swearing. in Star Trek. like he was mad they said fuck. and he looks at me and he's like "it completely sucks you out of the experience right??" and I just looked at him and went "no it makes me want a modern DS9 show of some kind cause I think Kira Nerys deserves to say fuck" which wasn't the answer he wanted I dont think

My name is [BRUTUS] and my name means [HEAVY] so with a [HEAVY] heart I'll guide this dagger Into the heart of my enemy

Something about having absolutely no choice in who you marry. About being literally forced by the law to spill blood - to accept this stranger as your husband over a man you truly care for or accept the fact that the man you love might die because you put him in danger. Something about risking becoming the wife of a man you've never even seen before a few minutes prior because you know anything would be better than putting your beloved in harm's way. Something about the trust inherent in that decision and in the way she speaks of it after. Truthfully, T'Pring doesn't know the captain and she doesn't know Spock. Either one of them could have taken her as their wife but she does know Stonn. She knows that Stonn will remain by her side no matter what. They made a plan together. They have an agreement which T'Pring believes will be upheld even though the plan changed with the arrival of Kirk. Stonn will always be there, always, and Stonn will be hers. Something about the language used around T'Pring: Ownership, subservience, non-personhood. T'Pring is an object that Spock can win. She cannot reject him, she has no say in the matter other than having Stonn 'claim' her instead. Even when Spock leaves after being very clearly rejected by T'Pring he says "Stonn, she is yours." as if despite her clear rejection he still owns her and is must formally 'give' her to Stonn. But the language T'Pring uses around Stonn is a break from that: "There was Stonn who wanted very much to be my consort, and I wanted him." Stonn who wanted very much to be HER consort and she WANTED him. The language here is very particular - It's not, for example: "Stonn wanted me to be his wife" - he is HERS. And she WANTS him. There's a mutual affection there and a strong trust - a trust which seems to be well founded since Stonn (though silent) stands by her side at the end of the episode. <- That might seem small but if Spock would reject her for 'daring to challenge' (again, the language is not 'because I don't want you' but more of an implied disgust at her having the AUDACITY to reject him) then it's not a stretch to assume that it'd be considered an insult in the TOS Vulcan society to NOT choose Stonn as her champion after a prior agreement. Anyway T'Pring was a woman in an impossible situation within a society which saw her as more of an object than a person and she wanted Stonn and Stonn wanted to be hers and she trusted that he would understand if she had to publicly pick someone else to ensure his life would be spared and he did understand.

spock pretending not to understand figurative language and earth sayings just so he can roast people will never get old. like go spock play that bimbo act. what an absolute bitch.

Yay! Finally able to post a new artwork after a short hiatus. Rest assured I've not been idle! Just working on pieces for various events and projects that can't be shared yet.

Today's piece was inspired by the fic 'Friday I'm in love', which is the latest installment of the hilarious series 'Where one man has gone before' by the extremely talented @cicaklah 🥰

If you haven't checked it out yet then give yourself a treat and take a look!

Okay I understand where people are coming from with the "emotional suppression in Vulcans is learned not genetic" talk re: "Charades" but, consider......... the emotional suppression is muscle memory, and the aliens took away the mental muscles that remembered how to do it. It's a crude metaphor on my part, but that was the way I saw it.

Also consider: it's a sci fi show using extremely high-concept bullcrap science on a weekly basis and maybe nitpicking it is a fruitless endeavor because none of it is going to make sense otherwise and enjoying the ride for what it is is a much more enjoyable way to engage with this franchise. Sometimes you need to shrug and let dumb things happen and laugh.

harry and tuvok are the only men on voyager who get invited to girls’ night but with harry it’s a bit of a novelty because he can also hang with da bois just as easily whereas with tuvok it’s an implicit assumption that he’ll be there because he only gets along with women

every time I think a Star Trek episode is not going to be as gay as I want it to be, I'm always wrong, and it's maybe my favourite thing about this show

Star Trek TNG S04E04

Picard sighs complication:

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE 2.11

the thing about red dwarf is that so many of the episodes, if taken seriously, would have been excellent Star Trek episodes. s4e1, 'Camille', is about a woman who has been genetically engineered to appear to anyone who looks at her as their perfect mate, complete with their interests and behaviours- and she absolutely hates this and hides on a collapsing planet to avoid people because they end up interacting with a mirror of their own desires and not her at all. can't you imagine the earnest speeches about feminism?
