#owo x detmer

[geekysteven]

Star Trek Discovery's last season should have the hinted romance with Owo and Detmer happen. Scrap whatever else they had planned for the show, let's do ten episodes on just this.

They can get adopted by Culber and Stamets into the gay space family which then becomes the focus of the next Trek spin-off.

Our babes are back!!

Ah yes, gal pals. The gal-est pals to ever pal.

This too is how I act with my wife live-in gal pal of choice.

Fanfic writers, I trust you. I need to read Owosekun and Detmer's Hawaiian holiday (and the reunion between Sylvia Tilly and Michael Burnham).

[startreq]

hi hello i still haven't recovered from Owosekun saying, "I love you all," while looking DIRECTLY at Detmer.

Discovery stop being cowards and let Owo and Detmer kiss challenge

My parents were just talking about Owo and Detmer and I was surprised they picked up on it and my father replies with: “they’re lesbians. Its not hard” MY STRAIGHT PARENTS SHIP IT BOYS AND GIRLS

Me: it’s 2022, why are people still accepting getting queer baited when there are more and more canon queer ships elsewhere they can look to?

Also me, ignoring the many canon queer ships on Discovery: please writers, some more Owo and Detmer crumbs? Some hints maybe?

for a good ten seconds i thought they were absolutely going there with owo and detmer and i swear my heart stopped beating

ST Discovery spoilers ahead!

Let's overanalyze!

So, I watched the finale and I only have two questions about the 3rd season:

First:

They actually explicitly said that capitalism is the big bad? Explicitly? Of course, Star Trek always alluded to the fact that the Federation is about space communism. They hinted, joked, danced around, made Rom quote Marx, but I never dared dream that I will see the day when this scene appears on my Netflix screen.

Let's begin with a round of applause for the brilliant dialogue about apples made of shit -

Osyraa: If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send a message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical.

Vance: And how are we supposed to do that?

Osyraa: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.

Osyraa is hoping that Vance will go for a reformist approach, as she had to spend "a lot of political capital" to pass an amendment outlawing slavery. (Cue to the smallest violin). When Vance asks about other concessions, she goes:

Osyraa: You're asking very powerful people to give up huge amounts of income.

Sounds familiar? We hear it every fucking day when Jeff Bezos decides not to end world hunger.

And most importantly, Vance turns her down. It is possible to interpret this as Vance wanting her to be tried for her crimes, but, I think, it's only part of it, the real reason is broader. There's no way that the Federation, the ultimate metaphor for the bright future, can accept capitalism as a "fundamentally valid and ethical culture". There can be no fucking compromise.

And for this I salute ST: Discovery. The creators have some fucking balls. The first openly gay loving couple in the franchise, trans representation, strong racial diversity, all of which are not solely a plot device, and now explicit acknowledment that capitalism is not the solution, and this time not in a form of a silly joke which looks more like an anti-Semitic allegory than a genuine statement, as was the case with the Ferengi. Discovery is boldly going, making a social commentary which reminds me once again about the revolutionary power of art. And this fucking slaps. What a time to be alive!

Second question, though: is Owo/Detmer a thing?

I am hyped to no end for the next season!

Headcanon: Joann wants to bake Keyla a cake for her birthday, but like, actually bake it, not get it from the replicator.

She uses the replicator for the tools and ingredients but bakes the most gooey, decadent chocolate cake by hand because her grandma back on Earth always said the best cakes are baked with love, and she so wants Keyla to know she is loved.

[scifiisforgirlsgaystheys]

Oh I love this so much 🥰

That scene was cute but what if

[spaceshipsarecool]

How many emotionally-wrought glances and in-front-of-everyone-flirtatious-comments do Owosekun and Detmer need to exchange before the Discovery writers realize these two are already married?
