When I was 5, I watched the Star Trek: TNG episode “Attached” (s7 ep8) and positively IMPRINTED on it 👁️👄👁️

So I comm’d fellow ST fan @marleywardart to create this piece of Picard & Crusher having their simple breakfast of “coffee and croissants” together. 🥰

I just love them sm. 🥹💗🫶

But yes, highly recommend the whole series but especially the episode Attached. The bond forcing them to feel each other��s feelings and hear each other’s thoughts!! ✅ The yearning!! ✅ The loaded history between the two of them!! ✅ It is a perfect episode. 😌😌

(quick low quality comic) I'm not a Picard x Riker shipper, but I am a "Riker fucks when the opportunity arises" truther

[the-heartstring-chronicles]

I still find it funny as a multi decade shipper of both pairings:

That we have Kate Mulgrew loudly proclaiming two years ago that she ships P/C, which I didn’t even know she had an opinion on until then

But that her thoughts on J/C have ebbed and flowed back and forth with the tides and years since before I entered the J/C fandom in 2006.

Something tells me you're going to have to put up with me for a long time to come. Well, it won't be easy, but I'll manage.

Happy 30th anniversary to the episode that simultaneously makes me ecstatic and breaks my heart.

Bed-Head Academy Shirt Swap Extravaganza

This started with this post but I couldn't stop so Riker and Troi joined the party.

(Deanna's shirt never recovered from this event)

Bonus material under the cut:

Shirt choices:

Beverly is wearing Picard's shirt from the Academy Marathon he ran (and won) as a freshman.

Picard is wearing Beverly's shirt from Drama Club. We know she loves theater and you KNOW she helped put on a Phantom production (also a little nod to this recent comic book cover).

Deanna is wearing Will's shirt from an Anbo-jyutsu tournament I imagine he participated in (and won).

Will is wearing Deanna's Chess Club shirt. Finding something about Deanna's Academy days was difficult, but she is one of the few people who beat Data in a chess game so I extrapolated.

And most importantly, a closeup of Picard's bed-head.

And here's Undies Riker because he's a glorious Stack O' Beef.

no one: me: actually it makes perfect sense that beverly would say "maybe we should be afraid" at the end of attached because when they were confessing things around the fire, jean-luc clearly said that while he had feelings for her and he worried about how he'd handle having her on the enterprise, he'd eventually realized he didn't have them anymore. now, maybe he was fucking lying to avoid her rejection and he never stopped loving her, but in any case, he did tell her that he wasn't in love with her anymore. and maybe her responding with "and now we're friends ◡̈" was partly because she didn't know what to do with this revelation. you can hear her working things out as he's telling her all this and it had to have been a lot to process. it's not like she came out and said "yes i always loved you too even when jack was alive" or even "yes i love you right now" so by the time they got through everything and realized how much they enjoyed the intimacy they'd shared, it was really quite a pivot for jean-luc to be like "WELL ACTUALLY i do love you and think we should explore this" ???? like he just made a show of being like "i'm over it" and now he's like "jk i am hella not over it" like sir please give her some time to process. i've watched that end scene 151068 times and i think i've always missed what she's really saiyng. my shipper heart has always focused on her rejection of him. i've always seen it as rejection because that seems to be how HE saw it or what it felt like. but i don't think that was what she meant by it. i don't think she meant "no we shouldn't do this" i think she meant exactly what she said - we should be afraid of it. we should be afraid and...do it anyway. she does get up and leave, yes, but i don't think it's because she wants to cut him off and close him out. i think she just recognized that after being so connected, so literally in each other's heads, they need space. and the point of that space isn't to rebuild walls to keep each other out, it's to reinforce the safety of the new space they're now in together. so, i don't think she was ever rejecting him or saying they should not explore their feelings. i think she just had more perspective and realism, and, in many ways, it foreshadows what's to come and how it does end for them. if you take attached in the context of what happens in picard, what transpires in the 20 years when she leaves and goes off and has jack without telling him, and you think back to this conversation, it really hits different. because you realize that while it always felt like jean-luc was the one who didn't admit he loved her for so long, he wasn't the one to pull back and say "on second thought maybe not." beverly was the careful one, she was the one who had doubt, she was the one who was thinking, "will this ruin everything? is it worth the risk?" and i think that makes her decisions later so much more interesting and complex and, in a lot of ways, more in character and even reasonable than they seemed at first. it's consistent with this sense that she really knew jean-luc a lot better than he knew her—or himself. and that it wasn't that she had conditions for loving him or being loved by him; she just always saw him as a human when he was trying to be a hero.

I'll stand by with the medication, just in case. The pain may become so intense that I'll have to—
