guy who always makes sure he's posed like an action figure whenever he's stationary for more than 3 seconds

it’s so funny to see a star trek character go through absolutely mortal peril and then lay down on a practically a slab made of the most scratchy hotel chair material at the end of the day

WAHOOO I have so much stuff to post but I keep forgetting or not having time 😭

This week I've been responsible and worked on my comic, so I have earned another day of just drawing Data <333

(I kind of make it sound like I don't like working on my comic, but that isn't true. I'm just WAYYY too fixated on Data for my own good.)

i'm not like other girls. in fact, i'm not even a girl. im lieutenant commander data from the hit science fiction show star trek the next generation.

Idk about y'all, but I LOVE this scene

It's so charming to me that the whole crew just puts on this whole elaborate roleplay just for their friend's promotion.

Who the writers of TNG wanted to be the sexyman:

Who actually ended up being the sexyman:

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

hi. yeah it's me. that terrible noise you're hearing? yeah sorry, I just watched another episode where the android character's friends show how much they love him despite his inability to fully understand or relate to their feelings or return them. yeah that's where all the wailing and blubbering is coming from. sorry I know it's loud. no unfortunately I won't be able to stop anytime soon.

Star Trek: TNG x Cards Against Humanity

I was captivated by the idea that Spot was originally Tasha's cat (because we know she had an orange cat in the past, and we don't know where Spot came from so it's a logical conclusion), so I drew this. But I put Tasha in the newer uniform to imply that she doesn't die because canon is what I make of it and in MY mind Data, Tasha, and Spot get to live long lives full of joy and whimsy.

personally one of my favorite gags on star trek is when something insane happens and it’s literally never mentioned in future episodes. my running list (of what i’ve seen)

-the sulu shirtless fencing incident

-mirror dimension episode.

-wesley indirectly creates a society of sentient nanites

-main antagonist turns out to be a child and is taken home by their parents. i think this actually happens at least twice in TOS

-the episode that revels kirk is one of the nine people who survived a genocidal dictator. said dictator has become an actor in a shakespeare troupe that hosts a show on the ship while his daughter (also an actor) has progressively been killing the remaining survivors

-alien parasite species that has been slowly infiltrating the federation by mind controlling high ranking members and acting out murder ploys. also making a man’s head and torso blow up (they used raw meat for this)

-cartoonish irish dude whose bullying scarred kirk so bad that it’s still on his mind. kirk spends like a solid minute trying to beat him up on camera too

-any sort of alien sex drive episode

-counselor troi being psychologically tormented by a music box (sort of)

-“dig it in there mr spock” this literally haunts me but the trouble with edward tribble thing is even worse that actually traumatized me as the first piece of star trek media i was shown

-transporters being able to make value judgements

-threshold episode where they were turned into salamanders, had salamander babies, AND THEN ABANDONED THEM

-Riker 2: The Rikening

-The Game (funny on title alone)

-oh and worf hunting picard and data in another evolution themed episode

[vorta-vortex]

Worf: I have never been in a snowball fight before. I don't know the rules. Geordi: huh? Worf: Is there a point system or is it to the death?
