god I love when men's 'hear me out' is a photo of an objectively hot woman meanwhile a woman's 'hear me out' is like. the pirate book from The Pagemaster
oh buddy you have come to the WRONG place with this shit lmao. sorry if a romance between a suspicious lizard man and an autistic twink doctor upsets you but it's time to grow up. those bitches gay
the fact that Picard and Kirk both are super awkward and weird around children because they hate them whereas Sisko sees a baby and is immediately heart eyes melting into a puddle… maybe the most amazing choice ever
Picard busting out the “I am Locutus of Borg” whenever he thinks it might have an effect on some Borg rando has the energy of “I don’t think my father, the inventor of toaster strudels, would be too pleased to hear about this”
I’m watching Ship in a Bottle and I love that Data does an accent when he’s playing Sherlock Holmes, but Geordi doesn’t as Watson. he is truly just along for the ride because he loves his bf and that’s beautiful
honestly tho throwing THIS kind of shade at your own parents is kind of a power move considering. they're not even around to hear him but he will not miss an opportunity to indirectly let them know they ain't shit.
ok I'm sorry but please everyone look at this. what the fuck is happening here how is this a real photo. why is Spock begging Kirk with his eyes to raw him in the middle of the goddamned bridge and why does Kirk look like he's about to do it.
Intentional or not I love the use of 'simple feelings' here as a callback to the differences between Spock and Data: Spock feels emotion and doesn't want to, Data feels no emotion but wants to. Eventually both of them get their wish but it turns out to be wrong. Data is given +
earlier in the ep O’Brien tells Jake “dw your dad will come around, he may be upset for a bit but he loves you and will want you to be yourself” which is solid! and then when Jake tells Sisko he doesn’t want to join Starfleet Sisko does one better and is HAPPY for him. it rules
I am going to say something so controversial yet so brave: star trek is for women and queers first and foremost. if you're a cishet man and you like star trek that's cool and all but you're on our turf and don't you forget it
thinking about this, how kindness is at the core of Star Trek, and how when that kindness is altered/ neglected it's always a sign that something's wrong. Spock looking on in concern because he's just had to nerve pinch his friend and protégé after he couldn't get through to him
all right I’m home from a family dinner I didn’t want to go to and I’m in a lot of menstrual pain so me and my edible are gonna watch the baseball episode of DS9. anyway I think Sisko is basically straight except for whatever he and Solkar have going on
I really like this bit because sometimes Spock is like 'if anyone knows how weird I am I will cry myself to sleep' and other times he's like 'I absolutely need to be as strange and offputting as possible to this stranger' which is just so extremely queer of him
you ever look at an image you've seen dozens of times so you're like 'oh yeah that one lol' but then you stop and really think about it for a sec and just. yeah. anyway happy friday everyone
listen I am still mostly excited about the SNW trailer but like. do the writers know that we don't need weird and forced het romance in order for the show to be interesting and fun
logically, I know that this was simply written before the Tarsus context had been established and it was just a 'my synthetic body is superior to yours' comment. logically. but unfortunately once you have that context it's impossible for this not to hit like a shot to the heart
someone in one of my discords was sharing pages from a physical copy of the Amok Time script from 1967 and some of the stage direction is absolutely wild as FUCK, you guys. like. what we see on screen is the result of unhinged shit like this. god bless you Theodore Sturgeon
*sits bolt upright*
there’s NO chance Uhura didn’t know before they came on board in Journey to Babel that Sarek and Amanda were Spock’s parents, and if she’d been there instead of Bones she would have went on the face journey of a lifetime as she realised Spock hadn’t told Kirk
smoked the strong weed by accident instead of the less strong one so now I’m laid out on the couch watching Journey to Babel specifically to watch Jim wear green and whisper ‘fuck you’ to Spock’s parents multiple times
it's actually insane that so many of the good bot accounts that simply posted stuff for us to enjoy died months ago because the workaround to keep them running was so tedious, meanwhile actual spambots are ruining our replies on the daily
the fact that people making a show in 2023 looked at Chapel’s comically one-sided crush on Spock, and his complete lack of interest in his own fiancée in TOS and went “those are things we want to see developed” shows how fuckin far we have to go as a society. bloody embarrassing
honestly so offensive that spock, a literal actual homosexual, is explicitly disinterested in the romantic advances of both uhura and chapel in the original series, and garbage modern adaptations have rewritten it in order to make him more straight
idk guys the episode's looking less 'Spock's biology makes him who he is' and more 'Spock has to play Masking on expert mode in front of his shitty parents and his gf's racist-ass family'? like yeah we'll have to put up with a bunch of het nonsense but I'm cautiously excited
the thing about Spock going to rescue Uhura in AOS or Chapel in SNW… it doesn’t accomplish what the writers wanted it to, because we KNOW Spock would do the same no matter the crew member was. he doesn’t do it because he has feelings, he does it because he values life above all
god he is THE drama queen ever. you had how long to tell your bf your estranged father is the ambassador the Enterprise will be hosting and instead you let him introduce you to your own parents.
rewatching bits and pieces of the crossover for research purposes and being sooo normal about how intensely Spock is staring at him here with his stupid brown doe eyes
I wish I could laugh this shit off because obviously both of these people are just sad fucking losers but idk today it's making me really hurt & angry, because it's not like this thinking is THAT uncommon. the idea that queer fans and queer interpretations of media are somehow +
I’m watching the TNG episode with Tasha Yar’s sister and I’m just gonna say it: modern Trek could benefit from some camel toe on the bridge now and then
don't make me look up a menu on my phone. give me a fucking piece of paper with words on it. also if your restaurant doesn't accept cash you are not a real restaurant you are a tool of the bourgeoisie
What is the most boomer complaint you have? Mine is I think people take their dogs too many places for my taste and also I think everyone should be more punctual.
so by the time we get to the DS9/VOY/LWD era basically everyone knows about pon farr and yeah ok more Vulcans are serving in Starfleet or whatever but it’s extra funny to imagine most Vulcans are pretty normal about pon farr and it’s just Spock with a weird shame complex about it
I had some dipshit straight Spock truther in my mentions this morning, so in the group chat we were talking about the Hays Code and how Star Trek began before it was abolished in 1968. By 1966 when it premiered, there was already a lot of pushback, but showrunners + (🧵)
many people have said this, but: enact a law that requires all media written off for tax purposes to be released into the public domain (should be no problem seeing as the company clearly considers them valueless!) and watch how quickly this shit stops happening
there is simply no way this man likes women I’m sorry but there is something deeply wrong with anyone who genuinely gets excited to see him being a normal heterosexual. no
