#random Star Trek ramblings

Bored! Wanna help me make a tricorder? :D

Top computer now done:

And it closes!

Some more progress photos:

Black fabric for the back and bottom:

Me suffering trying to figure out how the computer pivots open and then giving up and deciding to just use hinges. No but really I swear this stupid little thing is more convoluted than it looks like! Because it doesn’t just open, it pivots! So the bottom becomes the back and the top becomes the front and I can’t really explain it but gods is it annoying!!:

(Also ignore the mess on the table….)

Computer!!! :D

(I am very proud of this little thingy :D)

Current issue: the round thingy in the second compartment. This thingy:

They're having a moment but what moment it is! "Why are you turning green?" And "time you and I stop fooling ourselves" oh my gods...

Spock hesitating naming the feeling 👏👏 And Spock staking his career to save Jim, hello Search for Spock parallel!

my eternal question of "how much of the Ferengi species is antisemitic stereotype and how much is just stereotype of Americans" gets a little bit more eternal, every time some distant blurry image of a guy in a cowboy hat sets off my recognition for a second

Okay, I'm currently working my way through watching Star Trek: DS9 and please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks Major Kira just has the biggest, cutest puppy dog eyes ever.

Like, this woman's not someone to mess with, but her eyes like wth.

@spacefinch look at who I found at the flea market!

(nice heels bro)

Solok strikes me as a person who might've been friendly/civil during his earliest time at Starfleet Academy, and tried to reach out to others (Humans and other species), but got his hand slapped for it.

Overtime, trying and failing to reach out and connect can take its' toll on anyone.

I wonder if his behaviour is a reflection of his previous wish for connection to others. Being civil didn't work, but being rude got him a rival! It's a type of connection, a very unheathly one, but one nonetheless.

So I started to think about T’Pring and trying to see Amok Time under her POV,

For starters, she clearly didn’t want to be bonded to Spock more than Spock himself. They were obliged to do so as children, and well, maybe at first she might thought that they would get along, but then he left (her)

She made her own life and met Stonn. And then, one day, years later she feels the unwanted bond grew stronger all of a sudden and knows to the time has come.

So she decides that she won’t take any chances. If Spock wins, she has to make sure that he wouldn’t like to see her again, so she chose Kirk over “the logical” choice of Stonn, bc it was actually the most logical thing to do

speaking of Tory and nonsense happenings, why did no adult went after freshly orphaned teenage girl Tory after she stormed out of the dojo?? That was crazy, they were just like next day! moving on!! Hawk goes instead of her to Barcelona!! Like at least allude to someone checking up on her in the interim ToT

I get it all happaned this way so she can go to the Cobras and she and Sam can have a redo of their tournament match when the stakes are high but also really just about winning a competition and no judges have been paid off and it will be like closure for both of them for realsies and I am actually looking forward to that but still!! As it is shown and stands they abandoned her after one (1) grief induced lash out and even thought everyone makes mistakes and acts shitty from time to time on this show noone trying again to get throught to her feels less like that and more just convoluted to get characters in their intented posittions and so it's kind of frustrating to watch.

Headcanon that before Barry ever introduced people (specifically Hal whenever they would hangout) to the world of the Star Trek fandom, he would always speak in Klingon every now and then and NOBODY knew what he was saying. Barry can fluently speak in Klingon ever since middle school, he would always keep around a notebook filled with mini notes he keeps to himself including a Klingon Alphabet Script hoping that one day someone will understand him

Does anyone know how those weird little pockets the TNG/DS9/VOY crews kept their tricorders in on away missions actually worked? Is it a pocket or a belt? Bonus points for real-world costume information.

Omfg so I'm reading the novelizations of Ghostbusters and I finished reading the first movie the other day and I'm now on the second movie and in the book there's a line with Egon that says "he had grown up idolizing two men Albert Einstein and Star Trek's Mr Spock" and well I have a headcanon that Egon is a Trekkie so I guess that's kinda Canon lol

[wuekka]

This was really sweet moment, I didn't expect to get more spirk from this story...

I was wrong!

I have seen pictures of that "we can stay. Just you and I", but I didn't remember it was this book. :D

In Man of the People (S6E3) when Deanna is possessed and becomes a raging narcissist she tells one of her patients how annoying her whining is, that she doesn't deserve to be on the Enterprise and should leave if she's so bothered by her abusive boss. AFAIK we never see that relationship repaired and we never see that person again and I'll be worried about her for the rest of my life

so i was just playing our family favourite card game with my dad and had a moment of realisation that probably not many people internationally have ever seen it so here you go:

Londo and Worf from Space Beans

[reagan-the-saunders]

Sorry, I can't hang out today. I'm too busy trying to decide which of my TES OCs have Star Trek characters they're really similar to and why they're similar-
