New drink just dropped!!!

finished!

well i need to post it or i could keep making tiny adjustments for ever 😅

not sure which will be next, but it'll be a while away when i do

still have voyager, enterprise, and lower decks to do, and i'd also like to do a smaller the cage pilot version. there's also potential in a picard one, and i have been asked about prodigy, but we'll see, i've only watched half of lower decks and picard of the ones remaining aha

queerness in star trek discovery is something that can be so personal <3

i’ve always loved star trek (especially the original series and the aos movies bc i grew up with those) and i’ve always loved seeing the underlying queer themes that it has (spirk my ogs, my day ones, my lgbts 💕), but watching star trek discovery for the first time all the way through recently has made me realize just how powerful it is to see canonical queer characters in star trek.

paul and hugh being the first canonical, openly gay characters in star trek is really special and important. and even more so to see them get their much deserved happy ending. they don’t fall victim to the “bury your gays” trope (at least, not for very long) or the toxic gay couple, or the stereotype. they’re just two people who love each other and i think that’s so amazing. i loved watching them grow together throughout discovery.

and discovery having not one, but TWO openly, canonically trans characters was soooooo amazing. i loved the way that discovery handled adira’s coming out moment—it was still treated like a big moment for them, but not in a way that “othered” them the way some other forms of media have treated coming out scenes.

@zygon-commander put it best imo: https://www.tumblr.com/zygon-commander/765893807993667584/i-think-discovery-does-a-good-job-with-having

anyway i just really love this show and i’m so glad that i gave it a second chance after sort of falling off of watching it back in 2018 or so. coming back to it was a genius move on my part.

I LOVE U STAR TREK 💞💞

I know this isn't canonly possible but I don't care! Them! Adira is a spoiled little brat and their dads would do anything for them. Mess with them and you get two absolutely terrifying guys chasing you for sport.

Also mirror Paul's bionic hand as a reference to my fics:)))

This was a tough one because there are many characters who can be interpreted as trans / gender queer / non-binary, and what is “canon” is literally very open to interpretation.

Note that I’m including Soren because Soren’s gender identity is queer within her culture.

Anyway as always I look forward to reading many respectful interpretations in the tags.

I do like the way Adira and Gray's breakup is handled- most teenage relationships do not last, and it's nice that they get to mutually come to the agreement that their relationship isn't working anymore and stay friends instead of becoming resentful of each other. But. It is funny to take a couple where gay love pierced through the veil of death and saved the day and then just go "Eh. We're not really feeling it anymore."

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY // S3E6 Scavengers For the last year, I have spent every single day searching for the source of the Burn. Until we solve the mystery of how it happened and why, I believe the Federation will never be... can never be... brought back together again.
