ok after i posted my star trek pride month rewatch post from the other day, i made a longer list and started grouping episodes by themes, and this venn diagram was the result. several of these could arguably be in different positions on the diagram, but i was trying to fit at least one episode into each section, so i ended up bending my own rules a little bit by the end. i've definitely missed some though (for example, i definitely need to add an episode or two of Prodigy, to get Zero on here somewhere).

Spock at his core is a sensitive gay boy Desperately trying not to be gay nor sensitive. And everybody knows he's both gay and sensitive because he's not very good at hiding it but he's still like nobody can know I'm gay and sensitive
gonna try to watch as many queer, queer-coded, or queer-adjacent episodes of star trek as i can during pride month (ranging from "this has queer characters" to "this was written to be an allegory to queerness" to "this wasn't meant to be gay/trans but it ended up that way" to "it just has gay vibes, idk"). here's the list i've put together so far:
TOS
The Naked Time
Amok Time
Turnabout Intruder
TNG
The Host
The Outcast
Tapestry
DS9
Rules of Acquisition
Rejoined
Profit and Lace
The Emperor's New Cloak
Chimera
VOY
The Chute
Warlord
Body and Soul
ENT
Unexpected
Cogenitor
i know i've got to be missing some from a couple of these shows, and i know there's a bunch of episodes of discovery that should be included, too, but i don't know it as well as i know the other shows. lmk if you have any suggestions for me to add to this list!
a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?
Sorry, Millennials, but recent paleontologist findings and hyolaryngeal apparatus reconstructions no longer support the hypothesis that "rawr" means "I love you" in dinosaur.
I haven't drawn much lately, but here are some DS9 drawings that I've previously uploaded in reblogs, now in their own separate post. And some Discord doodles. Enjoy the lack of context!
i don't have any tattoos but i've started thinking about them more lately. what if i got a tattoo of a self-sealing stem bolt. is this the best idea i've ever had or my worst?
