Unnamed Romulan Commander my beloved 💞

these r fun :)

[Description: A Tiered meme, titled “if I was a worm, would you still love me?” Below is a table with two columns; the first column listing different answers to the question, and the second holding characters from the classic era of Star Trek who fit the response. They are as follows:

“Absolutely fucking not,” with pictures of Lieutenant Kevin Riley, Yeoman Janice Rand, and Mirror!Marlena Moreau

“You are not a worm shut up,” with pictures of Dr McCoy, Spock, Sarek, and T’Pring

“I would eat you like the fish,” with Scotty.

“depends what type of worm??” with pictures of Uhura and Nurse Chapel

“yes :) <3″ with pictures of Captain Kirk and Amanda Grayson

“I would build you a home in a jar. with a little house. talk to you every day,” with pictures of Sulu, Sybok, and The Romulan Commander

“what if we were both worms… and we kissed…” with a picture of Pavel Chekov

I've noticed that typical Vulcan men do not appear to wear the iconic blue shimmery eyeshadow, while Vulcan women do and with glossy pink lipstick too.

Where as it seems that Romulan men do, in fact, wear eyeshadow. It seems to be an important enough part of their culture that when they put it on Jim too when Bones disguised him as a Romulan.

But you know who also wears eyeshadow (and pink lipstick)? Mister Spock!

Like look! Their makeups literally match. It's very interesting that both Romulan men and women wear makeup, but only Vulcan women seem wear makeup (well maybe the men do too we've just never seen any). And if Romulans and Vulcans have a common ancestor, does it mean that historical Vulcan men did wear makeup? Is Spock doing ancient Vulcan makeup to prove that he's like soooo totally Vulcan? What does it all mean, am I just tin foil hatting 🤔

Yeah, I can see this ad running in the pages of a 23rd Century mens' magazine.

I wonder if in 'the balance of terror' Spock saw the romulan commander and got really fucking freaked out because, ..... that's his dad? on a ROMULAN vessel?

like.... not just seeing these people WHO NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE AND THEY LOOK LIKE YOU?! but also the guy leading them has an uncanny resemblance to your father with whom you haven't spoken for ~20 years

i think i would fucking lose it at that point, man.

human things I think Romulans would be good at:

incredibly long and disciplined D&D campaigns

participating in toxic stan twitter

cybersecurity attacks

alpine skiing

geocaching

long-term reconnaissance

academia

insider trading

working at Lockheed Martin

binge-watching succession

trespassing

pushing their limits at a demilitarized zone

**I included characters significant to one episode who I see referenced in fandom/fanfiction fairly regularly, yet who never appeared in other pieces of Star Trek media (not including novelizations of those episodes or beta canon)

Koval and his aide. In any case, this gentleman is unfortunately just a nameless supporting character and is therefore overlooked. I wanted to make him a little more visible.

Actor Mark Lenard (1924-1995) portrayed the Romulan commander in Balance of Terror; first portrayed Spock's father, Ambassador Sarek, in Journey to Babel, as well as appearances in the animated series, Next Generation, and two films; and the Klingon commander in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Their expressions will never not be funny.
