I feel like their sparring outfits would just get sluttier and sluttier.

Stonn x T'Pring and Sybok x Angel are the only SNW ships I like. Honestly, with the way the show is written, I'm rooting more for the Gorn than the Enterprise at this point.

With how that show's writing Vulcans I'm like 70% sure they're gonna make Stonn a bad guy or make T'Pring cheat on Spock so their relationship ends with "They both cheated!" or so that Christine can comfort Spock as if he hasn't been cheating on T'Pring pretty much the entire time he's been on screen. I watched a 'short trek' I think they're called? Because I heard T'Pring was in it but it was REAAALLY bad like humor I might have laughed at in middle school...anyway T'Pring was only in it so they could make a joke where the premise was "T'Pring keeps breaking up with Spock because she falls in love with other people and Spock is SOO sad about it" and I was like Hey. Are you even WATCHING your show???? You're taking potshots at the WRONG CHARACTER. Like, even if you wanna make that joke - Christine'd make more sense because Christine and Spock ARE actually 'keeping it casual' and Christine DOES actually date around whereas T'Pring is committed to Spock in SNW and trying at every turn to make their relationship work. It still wouldn't be funny if the girl constantly breaking up with Spock was Christine but having it be T'Pring literally doesn't even make sense. You can say "it's just a funny little joke" (as people say about a lot of SNW'S issues) but T'Pring is a female character who's been viciously maligned for YEARS and if their 'jokes' or 'comedy' come at the expense of their characters or the message of ultimate togetherness and hope in the galaxy then I don't find it funny. SNW isn't supposed to be a comedy I don't know why they keep trying to be 'funny' at the price of being earnest. This isn't a marvel movie. The pro-eugenics trial, killing the disabled character, killing the chronically ill character (and framing this as a beautiful relief), 'being disabled is worse than death' messaging, turning the Gorn into horror movie killer monsters (especially when they could have just made up another species), the bioessentialism, constantly maligning Vulcans as racist bullies (with Spock's half Human blood saving him) <- Which I hate ESPECIALLY when Spock has always been a symbol for mixed people in which he struggled equally with feeling belonging in BOTH cultures whereas in SNW it feels like "If he could only be released from Vulcan's evil clutches he could be happy!" + The laziness of cheating being a plot point in so many main characters' romance stories so far. [La'an wants to be with Kirk but that'd be cheating, Spock is cheating on T'Pring with Christine, Pike sleeps with another woman in 'Lift Us Where Suffering' despite having a girlfriend <- They COULD be open but I don't think this is explained. That's Five or Six characters involved in potential cheating and more if you count M'Benga wink-nudging Spock and Christine's relationship when he most likely knows Spock is engaged to T'Pring.] I just have no faith in SNW. It doesn't feel earnest, and it doesn't feel kind and I don't want to watch a show where they'll sacrifice someone's character at any time for an ultimately meanspirited joke.

“ that was quite the hand, but not for the game we are playing. ” 

                             there's something to be said about how at ease shepard is even among the dangerous.    despite being in a place most would consider to be the lion's den, there's not an ounce of tension in her frame, green and blue eyes sweeping over the augment's figure with something almost akin of amusement. there are dozens of files on him littered about encrypted files in the alliance; unfortunately for them, she's got the best hacker in the galaxy on board, and isn't afraid to break rules if it means getting the edge.    

                          ❝    ———    khan, right?     ❞

 as if she doesn't already know; and that shit - eating grin says it all. confident, perhaps, but not ignorantly so. there's crackles of biotic energy dancing across her skin, even while she's leveling him with her pistol.        ❝      you must have had a good nap if you're complimenting me already. i just wanted to talk, but if you'd rather dance? i'm game. and if i win, you listen. yeah?         ❞

“Trueborn”? So what, you were grown in a tube?

You weren’t?

if I was hoshi and someone made me leave my job as a professor to learn languages on the fly I’d be thrilled but I also think I’d kill Archer or someone within three days of being on the enterprise

Be really careful about excluding other forms of consuming media as somehow "not enough" compared to reading, because that's an ableist narrative.

Other totally valid ways to consume books:

being read to

audiobooks (as above but someone's paid to do it)

the movie version (may differ, but stories are allowed to be enjoyed in different ways)

braille

modern translations

other language translations

digitally (lots of people can't hold up the weight of a book!)

summary/edited/shorter versions for people with mental health issues and/or cognitive impairments

Because yes, the ruling class benefits from illiteracy, but it also really benefits from abled, health-privileged, and classist people from looking down their noses at people who have different needs and preferences.

If you think reading text is the only legitimate (or even the always-preferred) way to participate in stories, block me now. And I say this as a writer of books.

"Absolutely no one comes to save us but us."

snw fucked up and I keep seeing people lump in disco because of course people only remember it’s a spin-off when they want to say something negative….disco would never do something like this lmao for all its faults bioessentialism unsurprisingly was not one of them

Do the Vuclans that attended Spock and T'prings wedding-divorce know that Kirk wasn't killed and actually is still alive? Or did they just live under the assumption that Kirk is dead as hell until he randomly showed up one day to Vulcan in a Klingon bird of prey with Spocks' assumed corpse and performed a Jesus-esque resurrection on him.

Look, y'all, I probably wouldn't be in Starfleet anyway - I'd probably be a civilian SLP consultant on the ship to lend my skills to planets as a gesture of goodwill or something. Star Trek all the way, especially if it means I can meet and woo Elnor 😎
