A friend asked what my favorite Star Trek show is now that I’ve finished them all. And the thing is, I’m not one for favorites generally, but I am a sucker for a good narrative thread. So, kind of wrapping most of the movies into their corresponding TV shows, here’s my take:

TOS/TAS had an idea, and they just fkin ran with it in a dead sprint

TNG picked that idea up and built a blueprint. It grew that idea into a whole world

DS9 and VOY took that world and played in it, frolicking in the fields, pushing its limits to see what would break, making it their own

ENT said “you’ve built a real nice house here. Mind if I go play in the crawl space for a bit?” (A bit confusing, as a world isn’t a house, but ehh fuck it yeah let’s go take a peek at the foundations. Could be fun)

The Kelvin Timeline looked at this world and said “oooh pretty!!!” without ever really understanding what it was holding. But, it was my first glimpse of the world, so I can’t be too upset.

DIS took the old world that hadn’t been taken seriously on screen for a while and decided to visit, tour around, kick the tires and see if it’ll still turn over. It does.

SNW stepped into this vast and complex and dynamic world and reminded it of The Idea that started it all in the first place

PIC was a class reunion, and a beautiful one at that

With the world alive and kicking again and the old idea finally returned, Prodigy and LD followed the old DS9/VOY lead: they ran in the meadow again. They frolicked. They played.

Favorite? Nah. It’s all Trek. It all has its place. It’s all home.

STAR TREK: VOYAGER // S5E10 Counterpoint Impressive. You gave a masterful performance. I'm the one who's impressed. With your selflessness, your humanity! It made all this so much easier. Oh, but what about your selflessness?

i pause and stare and then pull back my hair

i pick up a lollipop and stir the root beer float

i look you in the eye with a coldness and cruelty and joy and love that cannot be contained with soft language

Do the weird thing that makes your soul glow or it will fucking kill you. Possibly literally. Even if you physically survive, you will not feel alive until you start doing the weird thing that makes your soul glow.

Make up.

Not make up.

Clothing. Nudity.

Art. Cooking. Dancing weird. Choosing the book that others would not. Writing letters. Writing fiction. Lore. More.

I awoke from a nightmare and I felt the moon touch my face with two glowing hands as she lay in the air suspended above me. "What was the first lesson I taught you?"

"Oh"

"Yes. You'll be fine. But you have to."

I would have apologized by she kissed me into silence and then disappeared with the sound of twilight turning over.

Do the thing. That makes your soul glow. Or it will. Fucking. Kill you.

I was awoken to tell you this, remind you of this.

There is. No time limit. But. If you can start now. It'll be best.

If not now, soon.

Good morning.

But the stuff they did with rope was really special. The trick was to go slow. Slow enough to make it last.

saw a writing meme, thought i'd give it a spin

rules: make a 24 hour poll with the names of your wips, let it run, then write one sentence for every vote the winner received!

This started with “Dean totally has orange cat energy” and just kept going and now I’ve lost all control???? Also nobody tells you cat anatomy is WEIRD. Why so bendy???

Special thanks to @lordcrowcifer for his suggestions for Crowley & Gabriel! (He made a strong case with the perfect photo of an angery looking Scottish Fold 😂)

More suggestions are, of course, welcomed because I have nothing better to do than draw dudes in plaid as cats.
