Let’s talk about Star Trek and gatekeeping.
As an autistic person, Star Trek is my thing. It’s my obsession, my constant hyper fixation, and I can quote lore, obscure facts, and recite entire episodes. Basically, I’d crush it at Star Trek trivia night.
As a major fan of Trek, I love TOS specifically. Spock is my dude, the rest of the crew are practically my best friends. I’ve watched each episode countless times, and I know the movies by heart. As someone who’s autistic, I find comfort in the familiar and I struggle with change. And boy howdy, there has been a lot of change with the new series. Spock’s character specifically, between JJ Abrams, Discovery, and Strange New Worlds, has undergone several major transformations.
But! The thing about change and Trek is that it’s a constant. There’s the built-in possibility of change at any moment, and in order for any “true” Trek fan to keep their salt they need to remember that mirror verses and multiverses are canon, that IDIC is the name of the game, and yes, fan fiction is the lifeblood of the series. You can’t have one without the other.
Consider this. Star Trek carved out the modern fan fiction genre, and it saved Trek. The series was originally cancelled after two seasons, and was only brought back through the fan base that kept it alive through fan fiction.
If the hundreds of thousands of different interpretations, backstories, characterizations, and alternate universes that fan fiction presents, and if the hundreds of “official” novelizations exist, then new content is par for the course. Any Trek fan has to be willing to accept that lore is fluid. If a fan doesn’t get that, or tries to convince another fan that their opinions are invalid because they are fans of the new content? They’re the one who isn’t a “true” fan, because anyone that can’t accept the possibility of other interpretations and dismisses new content, they are missing the entire premise of the series.
Personally, I love SNW’s take on Spock and Kirk. (That handholding!) I love that Spock gained a sister in Discovery. I love Picard’s storyline. I love the silliness of Lower Decks, and I miss Prodigy.
If certain fans can’t accept new content and try to gate keep your enjoyment? Pull a rebel Spock: throw up the ta’al, transform it into the middle finger, and say you hope they ‘expire soon and fail.’ 🖖🏽

In my heart, Ford once went to an ice dimension and got Really Good at ice skating, and now he's absolutely insufferable about it.

Unstoppable villain, meet immovable agent of friendship!
I was wondering in what circumstances Charlie would just OFFER her soul to Al.
And he would short circuit as all his manipulation plans become unnecessary.
Cause Charlie cares about her friends and if they need help she won’t hesitate.

I have made it. Been lurking since you announced it. Haven't really been able to enjoy the new blog much as work keeps me busy and I'm not that big into jjk (seen the anime, know some of what's going on in the manga but not in the x reader fandom for it) so I'm just patiently waiting for whenever there might be hq crumbs - genius anon
AWWWW YOURE WAITING FOR HQ CRUMBS I SHALL DROP SOME JUST FOR YOU OMG 🥹🥹
