Hey guys I'm insane (makes a Pacific Rim/Star Trek au with a full story that I can explain and character designs that feature my interpretations/redesigns of canon Star Trek alien races)

This is a long post. Because I have over thought this. Oops

Anyways let me show you guys some stuuuuuff :)

First of course is the Becket brothers. Well, Ch'borliath brothers in this world, I guess, since Raleigh and Yancy are Andorians. I don't know, I just thought the race fit them.

Andorians are more accustomed to dark spaces, and live in a low-oxygen space, causing them to have a lower body temperature. That, mixed with the chemical compounds in their bodies, makes their skin blue, which then reflects onto the thin layer of fur they have. Each family has a specific fur pattern, so if I were to compare these two to two different Andorians, they wouldn't look the same at all :). Andorians have a concentration of sulfur in their blood, which makes it appear black, as well as making it highly flammable. There have been cases of Andorians lighting their hands on fire after cutting them to wield the flame. Also, they have poor eyesight but aren't blind, so their antennae are sort of like feelers. It's like having extra eyes. Their tails tend to act in a similar fashion. Despite their physical challenges, Andorians tend to act almost lion-like in nature, being passive but territorial, going so far as to have genuinely developed a deep roar when frustrated, or to stake a claim over something.

Also WOAH YANCY ISN'T DEAD! They were raised by a Starfleet family, and preferred human nicknames over their proper given names, which is why they go by Yancy and Raleigh. Raleigh is extra protective over his brother, especially considering the incident that occurred (andyes. I will get to the incident), which can cause some issues, since Yancy is literally a security officer, and needs to be able to be self sufficient. But they're attached at the hip. It works well, considering their small space, at least!

Second, Captain Pentecost and his chief of security, Commander Mori.

Romulans have thin skin, causing one to see lines of green, their blood appearing through the skin, across their bodies in the light. These are often referred to as "sun lines", since they are only visible in the light. Romulans also have two pairs of eyelids, a flatter nose, and sharper ears than their cousin species, Vulcans. Their weird posture comes from the fact that full-blood Romulans, as well as Vulcans, have higher ankles, like the legs of a dog. Due to chemical compounds in their blood vessels, when oxygenized, Romulan blood turns acidic. It takes up to 2 weeks for the reaction to stop.

Mori was a young Romulan whom he ended up saving during Romulus' destruction, and has since taken care of as if she were his own daughter. Of course, she joined Starfleet of her own accord, but Pentecost requested that she be stationed with him. They've served together ever since, and it looks like they will be serving together for a long time after. Recently, Mori has taken a liking to Pentecost's new second in command, who she has drinks with every Friday night, after they engage together in combat training (Raleigh insisted upon it, as he, upon first meeting her, said he's never met, nor fought, a Romulan before. That was ten minutes before she nearly knocked him out) Pentecost is just glad she's making friends. He thinks she'll need them, considering how precarious the current situation is turning to be.

Ah yes, the two we all were waiting for. Hermann and Newt. They've become my favorite half Vulcan and ex-Borg.

Vulcans, like their cousin species Romulans, have digitigrade legs. That trait, however, gets lost in human genus, so half Vulcans, like Hermann, and half Romulans don't have that. Their blood is copper based, which makes it appear green. Vulcans also have thinner skin, but it appears in more of a radiant glow than it does in distinct lines like it does on their Romulan cousins. Vulcans have developed almost feline features, including their eyes, pads on their fingertips and on their feet, and exceptional strength, especially in their legs. Due to their thin skin, they scar more easily. I don't have much to say about the Borg, but honestly, who does?

The two met in the academy, Newton taking an immediate interest in Hermann being half-Vulcan, since Newton was raised in a sheltered family where seeing aliens wasn't exactly common. Hermann, however, had hardly any information to give him, as he was raised surrounded by humans as well, and knew little of his Vulcan culture. They eventually split apart, though still communicated occasionally, be it through letters or through chats on rare occasions where their paths crossed, until being assigned together to the same station only weeks before service was discontinued there. Hermann's been particularly anxious as of lately, considering what happened to Newt. Newt has no idea why, but the voices in his head are telling him not to worry about it.

And then there's these three. Faithful comms officer, Lt. Choi, Pentecost's retired second in command, Hercules Hansen, and his son, Chuck. Herc is the only human (loser), while his son is half Bajoran and Choi is Betazoid.

Bajorans are, as best described to humans, deerlike in nature. They're an agile race, with thin builds, but they tire easily. Their facial features are flatter, while still being slightly exaggerated (full-blooded Bajorans have big, almost doe-like eyes and digitigrade legs, improving their eyesight and agility, after adapting to being hunted for centuries). They also have better hearing than most races. The markings on their skin are unique to each Bajoran, but their are common patterns. Religious families and sects tend to have more similar patterns to one another than an average citizen would. These marking are less prominent, but still present, in half Bajorans.

Betazoids, on the other hand, are mothlike in nature. The antennae on their head act in part as feelers due to poor eyesight, but also emotional feelers. They pick up a person's emotions like wavelengths and reflect that physically. In neutrality, a Betazoid's eyes are white, however, if they were to pick up a wave of joy, their eyes would turn yellow for as long as that wave resonates within them like sound resonates in a guitar. Due to their bug-like physiology, they're more drawn toward lights. The pads of their fingers have glands beneath them that develop an adhesive, slightly toxic substance for reasons still unknown.

Yeah these guys are just kind of there I'm still figuring out how they line up in the grand scope of things.

Doodle as a page break for STORY TIME

Starfleet needed to cut down on resource distribution. They shut down 13 stations throughout the the outer edges of the Beta quadrant, hoping to save resources, and potentially have less outreach for danger.

The deep space station Shatterdome had just received its newest arrivals from Starfleet. Unfortunately, their comms haven't been receiving any signals from the Alpha quadrant for four years, so they have no idea that they've been completely isolated from their home.

The Shatterdome is now a station lost in space, with all of its inhabitants stuck for the foreseeable future, considering they hardly have any transports, and what they do have couldn't possibly make the trip back to Earth. What is also unfortunate for them is the fact that they border Borg ship hubs on several sides, and stations are... well, stationary. They can't call for backup, due to the cutbacks, there are no longer any ships running missions through their part of the Beta Quadrant, and if they're wiped out, there's hardly anything stopping the Borg from launching an all-out attack on Earth. Suddenly, Raleigh and Yancy have been thrown onto the last stand between life and potential assimilation.

I can't believe I created an entire au and STORY to go with it on a whim. Anyways let me know if you guys want like comics/more art/minifics of it because I know there's a Star Trek fandom in the pacific rim fandom. Yall are out there right????

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

hate when you find a character whose so infuriatingly Your Type that its embarrassing like yeahg no one is gonna be surprised when i announce this is my new Guy Of The Month

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics for the past week, and obsessed with Dick Grayson for longer, so here’s the crossover we all deserve.

Plus, gorgeous sweaty acrobat in gymnastics poses? Only positives.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
