It's been a while, huh?

[Description:

An alignment meme. There are two columns: on the left, a column of booty shorts with bizarre text on them. On the right, characters from the classic era of star trek. They are as follows:

A black pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "god won't let me die." Next to it, a picture of The Guardian of Forever.

A pair of pink booty shorts with white text, reading: "Enemy of The State". Next to it, a picture of Sybok.

A navy blue pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "this is not a place of honor." Next to it, a picture of Dr. Crater.

A red pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "ceaseless watcher, turn gaze upon this wretched thing." Next to it, a picture of Anton Karidian

A red pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "The task ahead is terrible, and weakness cannot be tolerated." Next to it, a picture of The Romulan Commander.

A navy blue pair of booty shorts with white text, reading: "You will live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension." Next to it, a picture of Roger Korby.

Triumvirate Prompts

Day 8 - Favourite TOS Episode?

This is a super hard question, especially since it changes all the time but I think I have to go with the "The Enterprise Incident".

I know season 3 gets a lot of heat for the quality of its episodes but I think this one is super fun.

Love that Spock has to go undercover, Jim dressing up as a Romulan, Jim's fake out death, the Vulcan death grip, McCoy's dismay at Spock "killing Jim", Romulans and just how massive and ridiculous the clocking device is but the real reason I love this episode so much...

Her

The Romulan Commander.

Literally doesn't have a name and she's my favourite villain. All her scenes with Spock are great and what can I say I love a girl boss who girl bossed too close to the sun. Also I genuinely feel sorry for her when she gets stuck on the Enterprise at the end, even though she probably sucks.

Also amazing taste in fashion.

Love this dress so much!

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.

[dykespirk]

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)
