#random Star Trek ramblings

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!

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

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

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

My Borg designation would be 3 of 4.

Remembered this again and how my brain has made it into a spirk AU song...

Where Spock is married to T'pring and on vulcan, but Jim talks him to starfleet.

[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-

Shiny Writing Object

You know that meme where it shows a writer ignoring their WIP for another shiny idea? GAH, it's so hard sometimes! Ha ha! xD

I currently cannot work much on my story (Book 1) right now, so what is my brain doing? Working on brainstorming Book 2? No. Working on fun scenes for Book 6? No. Book 9? Ha, as if.

Instead, I rewatched the newest Star Trek movies recently and now my Half-Vulcan/Half-Original-Alien OC is taunting me to write something about her.

Not that I could write much right now. My brain is dead from the smoke from the local wildfires. (Asthma is a pain and the smoke messes with my head.)

BUT, she is cruel to me. Ha ha.

Once I can think straight, I might have to spend a day just giving her an adventure so I can clear my head of her for now and get back to my Skyline Spirits stories. Until then, this little gremlin who wants to be logical and rule-following but can have instinctual and uncontrollable urges to eat electronics, will have to play around in my head.

I'm not even interested in Star Trek, but I think we need to acknowledge Lucille Ball more. Without her, neither Star Trek or Mission Impossible could have been made. Her production company got them both started. Never mind the fact that she had 3 long running sitcoms and was accused of being a communist! Lucille Ball was really one of the greats (I think that's safe to say).

WHY ARENT THERE BONES FUNKO POPS????
