i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

Im sorry but i have to talk about how the FIRST shot we see of kirk is him gently touching a flower

His softness is so important to his character that we are meant to instantly recognize that this is him. THIS is is his establishing shot in this short and i think thats so important

The Spirk experience is like:

1: I’ve heard of this but I’m not sure if I see it ->

2: oh wait they weren’t kidding these guys make such heart eyes at each other haha lol ->

3: Actually this is the greatest decades-spanning love story ever told in the history of long-form storytelling. No story I will ever tell will hold the power of these two characters. Their love is written in to stars and has the power to change to trajectory of

I wish this had happened twenty years ago when I was a Spirk-obsessed teenager! It’s still pretty cool though.

hey so what the actual fuck

I pretty much joined tumblr in an effort to make myself less annoying to the people who know me in real life.

I love socialising so much, I love my friends, I love talking to people, and while I'm out I have so much fun even when I'm Very Aware I'm just saying something no-one cares about or being annoying and I'm just like ignoring the anxiety

And then I leave and get home and it just Hits and I'm replaying everything I said and it Was All Awful and Omg How Have I Not Driven Everyone Away By Now and maaaaan

Just want to be able to either a) turn down the me-ness of everything I say when I'm out or b) not be trapped in a cycle of rumination when I get back over it. Like either of these would be fine on their own but together it's just, like, Brain. Why?!

[id: 10 gifs from season 3, episode 21 “the die is cast” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show three scenes from the episode the first has elim garak, odo, enabran tain on a romulan warbird on fire, the second scene garak and odo escaping using a runabout, the third scene shows them back on the defiant with miles obrien, and julian bashir.

1st gif: the first scene features garak from the shoulders up, the romulan warbird is on fire in the background. garak begins to realize that he's not going to get tain out of that chair, but he won't leave without him.he shouts "i can't just leave you here."

2nd gif: camera cuts to tain seated on a chair. he looks at garak and says, "i always did have a soft spot for you, garak... another of my flaws..."

3rd gif: camera cuts to garak, he shouts, "enabran," he is about to make another plea, when suddenly odo's hand pulls him back from the shoulder and he punches garak hard.

4th gif: camera cuts to show a wider angle of odo punching garak. the punch is hard enough to knock garak out and as he crumples to the deck, odo carries him.

5th, 6th, and 7th gif: the second scene, odo is sitting in the pilot seat of the runabout and garak is in the other seat. garak is rubbing what is now a large bruise on his head ruefully. garak says, "you can be very persuasive on occasion, constable. but you might consider using... gentler language in the future." odo replies "i'll keep that in mind."

8th gif: the third scene, in the transporter room of the defiant. miles says, "welcome back." the camera moves from miles to show odo and garak after transporting into the defiant. camera cuts to face enabran from the front and the back of garak, he is looking at garak from the corner of his eyes as garak continues, "why do you think i'm here?"

9th gif: odo says, "thank you." julian appears in the frame, he sees the bruise on garak's head. "oh, that looks painful."

10th gif: garak says, "it is." and turns to look at odo as he continues, "but it did save my life." /end id]

Against his arm and side Sisko felt Bashir pull back toward Garak. The doctor didn’t want to give up. What if Garak still had a shiver of life in him? What could it be like to leave him there like that? Sisko knew. Knew and hated it.

hppy ueday! Dont fonrget to smile and shine

There’s a rift in the Star Trek fan community. A polarising issue of great importance. Are Vulcans hot? (Yes, obviously, but are they hot and also literally cold?)

Ok so I know what I think the answer is, but I’ve seen it both ways many times in fics. I’d love to know what everyone thinks. Explain in tags!

Apparently the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual (1977) states that normal Vulcan body temperature is 32.78C. But I don’t consider that canon.

I thought probably I should post this as well. It's an animation I'm doing for Garak and Bashir. It's only 1/3 done, so I'm *Still* working on it.

But I thought I should post it here

I only have the Chinese and Japanese subtitles sorry
