Hemmer’s literal last words: Uhura […] Open yourself. Make a home for yourself amongst others and you will find joy more often than sadness.

Confession #13

"Scotty and Hemmer are my favorite engineer characters."

[frid-j]

Hemmer is such a silly spiky wizardish snowball, fukc Strange New Worlds, I’m delusional and free so HC: he’s gonna be back in the next episode 😋

If you’re still doing the prompts maybe 16. "Urgh. Definitely not." with Hemmer in a comedy?

Thanks if you do! And no problem if you don’t :)

Setting Him Up

Prompts

"Urgh. Definitely not." You'd never heard him make that noise before, a cruel sound of disgust from the back of his throat. You near giggled, kinda wheezed.

"You're that disgusted?" He twitches, brows furrowing for not even a second. You worry you've made him mad.

"I do not understand the endeavor to... have me 'shack up' with Chappell." You blink rapidly.

"No, no. A certain someone—er well, not a certain someone— well. Er. Someone said you needed 'some', okay. And I— they came to me? About it? And I think they wanted me to solve the problem?"

"I'm not that grumpy, am I?" Hemmer looks less disgusted, and less scary. Instead, his antenna hang lower and he's leaning, face incredulous.

"Well," you start. "You are pretty uptight." You give a helpless shrug, attempting to seem apologetic. He just blinks a few times with a slight roll of his head, showing his displeasure.

"Is there anyone you are interested in?" He immediately slumps, obviously upset with the continued questioning. "Do you even want to be in a relationship?"

Hemmer doesn't take long to think about it, just gives a little smile and a huff out his nose. "I definitely do not need to be set up. Especially with lower ranking officers."

You hum, palm under your chin. "Strict rules on that shit." You mutter in his direction.

"That 'shit' keeps quite a few people safe." You jump to attention, the words sharp but his tone steady.

"Didn't mean it like that, sorry."

He hums, "I wouldn't expect it of you, do not worry" He gives you a nod that is obviously an apology. You nod back.

Your conversation. On him being set up.

"So you don't need my help?" You reaffirm.

He nods, with a sigh a bit too sassy to mean anything other than "duh".

You laugh, short and breathy. He sighs again, but he's smiling.

"What about a relationship? Not purely sexual?"

Hammer makes a face. "What?"

"Would a... relationship. With me. Be okay?"

Hemmer doesn't hesitate. "Yes."

You breathe. "Okay."

STRANGE NEW WORLDS

[vreenak]

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS (2022- ) ↳ Every character in every episode: Hemmer in Strange New Worlds, 1x1

- Hemmer, did you find anything? - Of course. That's why I'm wandering around the ship in the middle of the night running diagnostics. For fun.

- the pilot is exclusively replying to the science officer's descriptions with "kaboom"

- the captain is referred to as starfleet's boy scout in his file

- the first officer and chief of security are playing enterprise bingo, which mostly seems to be an excuse to shoot each other with phasers

- the nurse is describing things as giving birth from your mouth to coerce difficult patients into medical treatment

- the captain is using soup to ignite mutiny

- the science officer is bodyswapped with his girlfriend and is using it to punch people he doesn't normally get to punch

- the doctor is treating an alarming amount of arrow wounds for a starship with no arrows

- the cadet is always right and yknow what she's rocking it

- the chief of security is recreationally making ensigns cry

- the first officer is very jealous because only one of them is allowed to make ensigns cry at a time

- the chief engineer is very violently befriending the cadet. it is somehow working

- the captain is cooking, all the time, for the whole crew. nobody has informed him that he is supposed to be captaining this crew, not parenting it, and they do not plan to

As with most of my other Murderbot art, there's a long headcanon that goes along with this piece. This one can be summed up as: ART has an unexpectedly difficult time performing system maintenance on its engines using its repair drones after the alien synthetic incident. Murderbot steps in to help out and then continues to periodically help out because they both find that time together soothing.

Sometimes, I wonder if it's just me, but I sincerely feel Hemmer had much more potential than to just help with another character development. It's not often I find a character that portrays blindness or even deafness, but it seems each one I do find, that I've also liked, end up getting thrown out in a horribly morbid way. There was so much wrong with this. They could have retired him or something to make room for Scotty. I'm not gonna lie, but I've been nervous to bring up a confession. Sure, Hemmer wasn't like a "main" character, but I wished there was more of him. Sometimes, I refuse to acknowledge some events of SNW as canon and that Hemmer is still there. He is a very cool character, Uhura lost her family, and he took almost like a father role to her as well as a mentor. Plus, an Aenar being in Starfleet as not just any engineer, but the Chief Engineer is pretty awesome. Hemmer is a wonderful representation of people and huge props for the actor for that. I wished and hope that more people eventually appreciate Hemmer even for the small things.

The parallels hurts me

Hemmer's "Type"

Hemmer doesn't really have a type? He doesn't really focus on romance at all. He grumps about, makes jokes, does his work, and is happy with it all.

When someone comes along that he's interested in, however, they become a priority. He likes to "woo" his romantic interests, however, it's more casual. Less big events and more... providing a meal/snack. He's sorta like a bird in his trinket giving? But less socially awkward and more himbo.

He will definitely perfer someone more calm. He likes some who will talk to him, rant about their interests or whatever is happening to them at that moment in time. He likes listening. He'll talk, too, he likes talking to his partner, he just doesn't like talking too much.

He does like someone who will appreciate his culture and teach him about theirs. He wants to try more Terran food, but he'd like you to try the teas and soups from his childhood.

He won't be hard-core crushing or kicking his feet, at least outwardly. He's actually surprisingly put together.

Bonus:

Hemmer is a gossip. He will trust you enough to tell you whatever he's learned on the ship. The engineering Ensigns have a lot to say.
