For me it's like the characters I love stay with me forever. For a long time they occupy the larger suite in the hotel, sit in the hall, eat every day at the restaurant and drink all night in the bar without paying a cent. Then they move to a smaller room, come out occasionally only for breakfast. Eventually they move to the tiny dark room at the end of the corridor and I may not see them for years, or possibly never again, but I just know they are there. Sometimes they come back, and it's wonderful.

just curious,it seems for so many people that when their interest towards one fandom fades,it will&can comes back later.how do y'all do that? if i lose interest in anything then it's a forever goodbye

People are way too mean to Jake Sisko about his outfits :(( his fuckass outfits are one of the best parts of the whole show. Seeing non starfleet federation citizens. Seeing futuristic fashion. Having fun with colours and patterns. Seeing his fashion sense change from a child to an adult. He has more fashion sense than any of the muted militarised "something you could find in abercrombie and fitch" ass outfits of modern trek shows. Where is your zest for life, where is your idealism? Only Quark has more drip.

i love ‘jefferies tubes’ as a piece of star trek canon… like i just think the most satisfying trek honor would be to have a commonly used piece of starship design named after you and for it to sound like a real thing

The 1st time I watched all of tos Turnabout Intruder was my favorite episode. Despite the pretty intense sexism and crazy shatner acting, I just find the idea really compelling.

Contrast isn’t the best, but I’m still learning! Digital art is different from what I’m used to lol. I shall keep practising with these two and see if I can do better lol. Best viewed with your brightness on your device up!

Tadpole pools. 🌿🐸 Stoneware ceramics.

A trinket or jewelry dish. It is also technically food safe - so I'm thinking.. sushi plate? 😋

I'm not a painter but I suspect it's not optimal as a paint palette since the pools aren't white. But whatever is put on it, the toad will be guarding it.

This one is available in my shop at nymla.se/shop💚

Favorite Captains Tournament: Week Six!!

Thank you for patiently waiting for this. I kinda lost track of time. It will happen again.

This week we say goodbye to charismatic, but ultimately just not as popular, Capt Christopher Pike.

so funny story, when I was a kid I read a series of vampire books written by a man named Christopher Pike. So when I first heard the name (in Star Trek (2009)), I was sooo confused X) Still amusing to me lol Would love to know if anyone else experienced that!

Once again, vote for your favorite Star Trek captain out of the options provided. If your fav is gone, choose your second or third fav!
