Beverly: I wasn't that drunk.

Picard: You colored my face with a highlighter because you said I was important.

Beverly: Because you are!

Regarding the 'Q and Picard become literally one person' I think it could also work in a scenario where there is a huge threat to the universe as a whole that would require to have a whole lot of willpower and more inner stability and direction and drive than Q usually has. The perfect balance between chaos and order. And so the only solution that Q comes up with is for Picard to become one with him. And it works.

It's just that this new godlike person has the mixture of Qs ego and Picards pride and also has a person (Q) that is/was 'I want to spend eternity with you' obsessed with the person they became one with (Picard).

The overall moral outlook of that person would be quite interesting as well considering Q is not really 'evil' but can definitly be amoral and apathetic towards things and people he does not directly care about in any way while Picard has some very strong morals.

So you would have difficulties getting that new person to make the conscious effort and decision to 'split up' because there is a rather strong part that maybe doesn't want to split up and instead stay like this forever and then there would be a certain self-loving ego problem to deal with as well.

Great meme choice! But seriously, I do think that this is such an interesting concept because as a Q I do think that this 'becoming one' in a very, very literal way is possible and especially after the Borg this would be kind of a terrifying concept to Picard.

I can see Q wanting this especially in an AU where there never was a Continuum or where for some other reason Q is basically on his own. Forever. So the kind of closeness where the otheer person literally cannot even leave you for one millisecond because you two are becoming the same person might become tempting.

Or maybe Q has grown tired of his directionless chaos and he thinks that becoming one with Picard will at least give the new him some purpose, some new drive and a meaning.

Q: I want to become one with you, Jean-Luc

Picard: ... You mean that in a sexual way, right, Q?

Q:

Picard: Please tell me that you mean this in a sexual way.

He would actually make for a pretty good wrestler considering how k.o-ed someone with a freaking sattle and how fast he was to get and use Worfs archery weapons. Also considering that one dialogue with his past archaelogy teacher he was in competitve fighting in his Academy years as well.

How successful would Jean-Luc Picard…

I have been thinking about a (mostly platonic) qcard fanfic called 'Friend like Q' where Q tries to show his superiority as Picards (best) Friend by helping in ways only a Q can. And while Qs attempts are well-meant due to Q being so utterly not-human it ends up backfiring.

My problem is that I currently lack the creative juice to come up with anything that Q would 'help' with only for it to backfire.

[yourbuerokrat2]

I just find the thought of a Q, who is still griefing in his own way or maybe has gone a little mad because of losing Picard coming across another Picard (maybe even TNG!Picard) and deciding that he is 'free real estate' and not wanting to lose him again, promising to make/get it right this time around.

Of course, TNG!Q is not all that happy with having 'his' Picard snatched away by another version of himself who is, to be frank, embarrassing Q by being so utterly open about what Picard means to him.

Okay, but the Enterprise getting in a situation (for exemple getting tossed from one dimension to another) only to be rescued by Q. Only it's not their Q but a Q from another universe that is just so very, very happy to have Picard back because this Q lost his Picard to death. And he is not all that okay with having to lose Picard once again.

HAPPY CAPTAIN PICARD DAY! - June 16

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION 7.12 “The Pegasus”

[yourbuerokrat2]

I absolutely love the 'unemploeyed Q' thing you got going on. Gives off the vibe of the Continuum having fired Q once again, but he still gets to keep his powers (kind of like in Q Who). And of course, being overtly bored and having nowhere else to go, Q decides to move in with his best pal Picard. Picard is not on board with that but hey, what is he going to do about it? His human is in dire need of more evil whimsy in his life, especially during his free time, anyway.

I finally figured out his face

[yourbuerokrat2]

Because the speech Q would be confronted with afterwards could very well end up lasting an eternity.

Picard finding out that Q considers him his/that to Q he belongs to him (wether romantical or platonical) -eternally at that- would make for an ... interesting reaction

Delusional!Q, where Q is convinced that it's not Picards utter lack of desire to be with him that is 'between them' but that instead the only thing(s) standing in the way of 'their happiness' is the Continuum/Starfleet/some other reason.

So once Q has 'taken care of' all of that, Picard is now faced with a mariachi band, a celebration and a very happy Q who goes on about how they can now finally be together.

@stellarred

I love how you connect this withthat short scenario I wrote because whaat Q is doing here is clearly self-sabotage. Picard had willingly agreed to go with him and travel with him and he has also come to a point where he even likes Qs company. The only thing that he does not like is being treated like he is not really someone but rather something that belongs to Q.

So the correct answer would be to reassure Picard that Q has no idea why the toher would thinks that and that Q is going to 'correct' them next time that while Picard is with him and even though Q would ike for Picard to be with him in another way as well he does not really 'belong' to Q. That is what Picard wanted to hear.

Picard even gave Q the chance to correct himself by likely giving him a look of 'I do not belong to you/I am not 'your human'. Which is probably a look that got a bit sterner the longer Q was silent.

Q meanwhile has been given a few inches and takes several miles. Outright telling Picard that to Q Picard belongs to him alone. I can see him swaying the 'You do' with a bit of a tease and a grin. Which is not helping his case.

Q is also definitly not really reading or not caring about reading the room on this because I do imagine that during Picard disapproving stare after that 'you do' he gets really close into Picards personal space, if he hasn't already done that, and just smiles so unbelievable fond and happy at his 'grumpy' capitaine and love.

And it's at the moment that Q doubles down and says how they will be 'eternally happy together' that Picard understands that Q means this and is quite serious about 'them'.

Q holding him close while Picard is not on board with this. he only agreed to 'let's travel the universe and let's see where this thing between us goes from there' not to this.

Then again, Q likely made comments about what Q wants this to be and mean before and Picard had trouble believing it, making him now realize just how utterly in love Q is with him and how serious Q is about their eternity as well.

Only for Q to tease him about his disbelief and try to get out of Qs arms with that 'peut-etre'.

Picard: Q, I don't understand what's going on. Why does every being we encounter during our travels insist that I belong to you and you alone?

Q: Well,...because it's true, mon capitaine.

Picard: Wait--what?!

Q:

Picard:

Q: You do.

Picard:

Q: Isn't it wonderful, Jean-Luc? We're going to be so eternally happy together!

Picard: I-I cannot believe this--

Q: Do I detect some...resistance, peut-être?

**I just love this picture I took with my phone of Q and Picard while watching this episode. The look is very quick, but the expression on Q's face and in his eyes, as he walks around Picard is one of absolute adoration, desire, and even wonder.

Q is not only madly in love with Picard--he's amazed and fascinated by him to no end.
