Is Lower Decks Ending Tomorrow?

I Found God...

I found God in a book I was reading, so I gently closed the pages and slowly backed away while chanting the pagan song of my people.

It all worked out in the end because it was a library book.

The moral of the story: If you find God, return to sender.

Caption for all the Captains out there who can't see the GIF: Elvis singing and dancing to his song, "Return to Sender," looking entirely too happy about the fact that, as subbed, the mailman came: "Bright and early next morning, he brought my letter back."

My Newest Polycule Obsession

okay so honestly my toxic trait at the moment is re-imagining the post-canon DS9 polycule with Damar and Weyoun 6 (or 9) and basically it's consuming my spare time :

Julian & Weyoun bounding over their respective augmentations

Weyoun getting into trouble intentionally just to see Odo

And Damar bailing him out

While Garak makes them all matching outfits

Caption of the above GIF for all the Captains that can't see it: Weyoun reacting strongly to poisoned kanar, probably saying something along the lines of 'quite toxic' although his words aren't subbed and I don't remember them entirely.

This Year's Christmas Fic - Now By Popular Demand

The title is only a *little* misleading, but hey, folx, it's not Christmas yet!

I will be writing my traditional yearly Garshir Christmas Fic - You can find the previous ones below:

2023's "The Present Plot"

2022's "Meet Me Under the Mistletoe"

And now you can help me decide what to write for this year's Christmas fic!

Let me know what you would like to see, folx. Ahem hopefully y'all decide to endorse my own (private/secret) choice - for I'll be voting, too, but only once! But let the people speak!

Caption of the GIF for all the Captains out there who can't view it: Garak waving away Dr. Bashir's incredulity about one of Garak's more illicit skills, saying, "It's... a hobby of mine."It depicts him from the waist up before he turns and walks away. It shows him being approximately 10 percent bitchy, 20 percent smug, 30 percent *done* with people underestimating him, and 40 percent reluctantly being a hero, but it's kind of clear from context clues that he's only doing it as a favor because it's for his dear doctor....

The Ongoing Saga of Units Alpha & Beta

Update on the ongoing conflict between my clan and our neighbors in Unit Alpha: This is war.

Unit Alpha attempted to pilfer food from us. Unit Alpha was unsuccessful in such tomfoolerly, because I called them out on it.

Now I'm just fucking with them.

The Man from Unit Alpha: It could have been anyone's food. Sad puppy face.

Me:

Et tu, Brutus?

The Man from Unit Alpha: You aren't Caesar. But this salad was.

Me:

Though those that are betray'd Do feel the treason sharply, yet the traitor stands in worse case of woe - Shakespeare

The Man from Unit Alpha: I returned your goddamn salad. What more do you want from me?

Me:

You already betrayed your people, Admiral! You've made your choices, sir! You're a traitor! Now, if the bitter taste of that is unpalatable to you, I am truly sorry. - Captain Jean Luc Picard

Three Secrets About Me

I am actually descended from a long line of earls, barons, and other such nobility. You'd never know it from the way I eat.

I can trace my family line back 31 generations.

I just found this out recently.

In other words - Where's my crown?

[fortheloveoflatinum]

That feeling when you realize all those fics you bookmarked when you were 15 for 'later' are still on your computer but they're too cringe to click on - so later never came?

RIP all my old fandoms looking at me like: 🪦

[fortheloveoflatinum]

and as for what state I live in....

put me down as residing in a state of permanent denial.

Personal Log: Things my Neighbor Has Done in the Past Week to Annoy Me, Possibly on Purpose

🚙 Why yes, they DID cross a crowded, busy street in the middle to avoid me when they saw me waiting at the bus stop. Very demure. VERY mindful.

🤔 They also failed to tell me about a problem in the house we share. I won't specify but it does have to do either with (a) water, (b) pipes, (c) ventilation, (d) heating, (e) all of the above, (f) some of the above and/or (g) none of the above. Choose wisely. Or don't.

😈 And when I texted them to explain that a house divided falls against itself, they flat-out ignored me.

🐝 Oh and when I asked them in person, they literally made up the world's lamest excuse NOT to talk about it so I walked away without saying much of anything at all, save for, "Okay."

I really do hope somewhere on Tumblr there's another account denying or confirming these accusations and/or clarifying, correcting, or simply providing a different perspective on them.

Captain's Log. Supplemental. Crossed the street to avoid my nosy neighbor. Almost got hit by not one but three vehicles. Said neighbor texted me. I did not text back. Neighbor wanted to talk about the issue again. I ran away, but not before giving a clever excuse as to why I had to do so. Note to self: Browse tumblr to see if neighbor has created a similar such log.

Yes this post is petty... But so are they!

Over and out.

it was a stroke of genius to give James T Kirk a bitchy flip phone in the 60's, truly amazing to watch him slam it shut like a pissed off socialite girl in 2000's teen shows

I know this gives Janeway vibes but I think I'd want my beverage to be coffee... Hot. Two creams. No sugar.

Either that, or a raktajino.

If I was a Starfleet captain my drink of choice would be “Coconut water, chilled”, not only for the fun tropical vibes, (they are just an added bonus) but because I am constantly dehydrated and need electrolytes.

(Come to think of it by the 24th century they probably found a more sci-fi magic way around that)

To be a Fleet captain you must a favorite drink (apparently), what would your be?
