When I was a very suicidal trans activist in Texas, Benjamin Sisko saying “sure, you would [die for your people]. Dying gets you off the hook. The question is: are you willing to live for your people?” changed and possibly saved my life. It’s up there with “if we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are” from Picard. Star Trek not only shows us a better world, it teaches us how to make it there

Quark makes me insane because he's literally one of the most tragic characters in all of Star Trek like. Not good enough at being a Ferengi not good enough at being Federation cannot find acceptance or love anywhere except his family but cannot let himself enjoy that love and acceptance because he's stuck trying to confirm to a Ferengi ideal that he doesn't even want. Stagnating and unsatisfied left behind by everyone he loves doomed to be alone and it's mostly his own fault. But then he looks like this

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION // S6E15 Tapestry The Jean-Luc Picard you wanted to be, the one who did not fight the Nausicaan, had quite a different career from the one you remember. That Picard never had a brush with death, never came face to face with his own mortality, never realized how fragile life is, or how important each moment must be. So his life never came into focus. He drifted through much of his career, with no plan or agenda… going from one assignment to the next, never seizing the opportunities that presented themselves. He never led the away-team on Milika III to save the ambassador, or take charge of the Stargazer's bridge when its captain was killed. And no one ever offered him a command. He learned to play it safe… and he never, ever got noticed by anyone.

The funniest bit about Spock running off to join Starfleet as a "fuck you dad" moment is that there's no way Starfleet was happy about it either. Spock's family is extremely important, T'Pau wields massive influence, Sarek is the Ambassador, ect.

So Starfleet is in this horrible position where they can't say no to this extremely competent and well-connected Vulcan joining up, but it also causes a massive diplomatic headache because his whole family resents it. And then if anything were to happen to him? Major diplomatic incident.

Good thing he's level headed and never throws himself headlong into needless danger---what's that? He's completely unhinged? Oh, well, nevertheless

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

We need a DS9 episode where strange occurrences keep happening at 3 am causing the main cast to have to get out of bed and investigate STILL in their pajamas. Also there is no power so they have to walk around with flashlights. also they think that it's ghosts. also i think that Odo should wear pjs too and it turns out he just materializes them at night to fit in.

It's always funny when I read a fic under the impression that it's TOS only for them to mention Kirks "radiant blue eyes" and suddenly I need to do mental plastic surgery on William Shatner to turn him into Chris Pine.
