“ there’s a reason my door is always open, ” she says, a smile of gentle amusement on her lips as she looks up at the figure standing her office doorway. “ but i tend to find it more productive when people come inside... ”

#holy trinity of picard being a Mood
Does anyone else feel even the tiniest bit of disappointment that we never got to hear Deanna Troi say her mother’s classic line: “I am a Daughter of the fifth house, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. Who are you?”
Can you imagine someone disrespecting Deanna Troi so thoroughly that instead of naming all of her numerous Starfleet accomplishments, she goes straight to: I’m motherfucking royalty. Who the hell are you?
( commander spock. )
“ i am .. perhaps not the man you were expecting, ms. troi. ” head dips in a cordial nod, hands clasped behind his back professionally – lips curl into something that can’t be considered a smile, but is far less harsh than a frown & less neutral than a hard line. to say that this situation is unusual is an understatement.
he can only assume that spock prime’s disappearance was of great concern to the people of his own time – & it would appear now that another temporal displacement had occurred, this one on a much larger scale. “ i am not ambassador spock. at least, not as you know him. i am .. still a commander, in this timeline. it would seem you are displaced. ”
commander... her head is beginning to throb. the wrongness of this place, the feeling that she is wrong... it’s starting to wreak havoc her senses -- already finely tuned to the natural feelings and rhythms of life, now they’re facing overload. for a brief moment, she closes her eyes, willing her mind to calm itself. displaced. she’s still too foggy to recall precisely what had happened. she was in a shuttlecraft? perhaps the runabout? no, she can’t remember... but she knows this man -- commander spock -- is telling the truth.
“ displaced, ” she says slowly, as if saying the word aloud will somehow make it all make sense. it doesn’t. at least not yet. questions are already churning in her mind. brows furrow suddenly. this timeline... understanding glimmers in the back of her mind. “ you know about my timeline? ” the words sound strange even as she says them. “ you know of... ambassador spock? ” brow furrows even deeper. “ i know this question may sound silly, but... when precisely is this? ”
( lt. aella moore. )
Aella was not the most communicatively adept when completely focused – and, of course, she was far from such, now. Black eyes blinked at the counselor, registering the playful tone, the insinuation tilted towards her. Perhaps feigning an ignorance that was not too distant would work best, now, here.
“… Oh?” Her own eyebrows raised – tea tilted up to her own lips.
she sensed that the younger woman wasn’t as ignorant as she sounded -- but deanna let it pass. there was little that two empaths could truly hide from one another. but her goal was to learn -- not to pry. instead, she settled pleasantly into her seat, taking a sip from her own drink. “ i meant that you and i haven’t had much of a chance to get to know one another. given what we have in common, it seems like an unfortunate oversight -- that’s all. ” she offers the other woman a warm smile.
( jean-luc picard. )
“Are you implying, dear counselor, that my diplomacy skills are rusty?” Picard raises his eyebrows at the challenge, but he’s hardly put off, nor does he deny it. The smile never leaves his eyes, even if his lips are pressed in a serious line. “I hardly am in need of training,” he says, stressing that point even if its unnecessary to convince her of anything. She knows him, which is the only reason he doesn’t question her tone. “This conference will simply take me away for longer than I’d like to be, and back to Earth no less, which is exactly where I am not interested in being.” Too many politics, which had to be a fair point, even for her.
“ nothing of the sort, captain, ” she replies, eyes still twinkling with mischief. “ we all can use a bit of a... tune up now and again. ” she’s not even sure why she bothers anymore. getting him to relent even a little on this issue had been an on-going battle. and rarely did she get very far. one of her greatest professional frustrations, she muses idly. “ i suppose i can understand that, ” she concedes. “ but you know earth is not the only planet in the universe... there are quite a few with sun and sand and not a single conference in sight... ” one eyebrow lifts in challenge. “ why not try one of those? ”
STAR WARS SENTENCE STARTERS
“ i find your lack of faith disturbing. ”
“ she’s fast enough for you, old man. ”
“ the force will be with you. always. ”
“ never tell me the odds! ”
“ do. or do not. there is no try. ”
“ no. i am your father. ”
“ pass on what you have learned. ”
“ just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes. ”
“ there’s always a bigger fish. ”
“ in time, the suffering of your people will persuade you to see our point of view. ”
“ you can’t stop the change, any more than you can stop the suns from setting. ”
“ i sense much fear in you. ”
“ the day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it. ”
“ i’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe. ”
“ power! unlimited power! ”
“ the garbage’ll do! ”
“ you know, no matter how much we fought, i’ve always hated watching you leave. ”
“ oh, my dear friend. how I’ve missed you. ”
“ i’m one with the force. the force is with me. ”
“ judge me by my size, do you? ”
“ you have hate. you have anger. but you don’t use them. ”
“ if you define yourself by your power to take life, your desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing. ”
“ your focus determines your reality. ”
“ be careful not to choke on your aspirations. ”
“ in my experience there is no such thing as luck. ”
“ fear is the path to the dark side. ”
“ be mindful of your thoughts …they’ll betray you. ”
“ we’ll take the next chance. and the next. on and on until we win …or the chances are spent. ”
“ stay on target. ”
“ laugh it up, fuzz ball. ”
“ but only you can change yourself. ”
“ i’ve seen your daily routine. you are not busy. ”
“ get your head out of your cockpit. ”
“ page turners, they are not. ”
“ this is not going to go the way you think. ”
“ let’s not have a scene. ”
“ impressive. every word in that sentence was wrong. ”
“ i believe he’s tooling with you, sir. ”
“ my disappointment in your performance cannot be overstated. ”
“ wipe that nervous expression off your face. ”
“ work your magic, buddy. ”
“ i need someone to show me my place in all this. ”
“ and here comes the parade. ”
“ we have them tied on the end of a string. ”
“ i wish i could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town. ”
“ we’ve pulled crazier stunts than this. ”
“ you’re just a child with a mask. ”
“ that was a cheap move. ”
“ your eyes can deceive you; don’t trust them. ”
“ fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. ”
“ let go of your hate. ”
“ who’s the more foolish; the fool, or the fool who follows him? ”
“ so this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause. ”
“ great, kid. don’t get cocky. ”
“ that is why you fail. ”
“ we’re gonna do this… ”
“ these are your first steps… ”
“ i assume you need something. desperately. ”
“ i thought he was a myth. ”
“ stop taking my hand! ”
“ i’ve got a bad feeling about this. ”
“ i never ask that question until after we’ve done it. ”
“ women always figure out the truth. always. ”
“ the light – it’s always been there. it’ll guide you. ”
“ princess – general, sorry. ”
“ you still want to kill me? ”
“ that’s what happens when you’re being hunted by a stranger in a mask. ”
“ is there a garbage shoot? trash compactor? ”
“ we’ll see each other again. i believe that. ”
Here’s what makes me mad.
Deanna Troi has so much potential and only got to show it a couple times.
The power to sense people’s emotions? That’s an incredible gift. Anyone can have a poker face, anyone can pretend not to feel…but you still feel.
Imagine Deanna Troi staring down a Klingon warrior and saying “you can’t hide from me…you’re afraid. You’re afraid and I can feel every ounce of fear.”
Imagine Deanna Troi getting Cardassian war criminals to confess.
Imagine Deanna Troi helping people with PTSD during the Dominion War.
Imagine Deanna Troi actually helping Picard through his PTSD.
Imagine Deanna actually using her powers.
Imagine Deanna with a storyline that didn’t have to do with a man.
Imagine Deanna being complicated and emotional and fighting to figure out which emotions were even her own and fighting to not lose herself in what everyone else is feeling. Imagine the profound way she is affected everytime they rescue refugees from the Borg, surrounded by so much sorrow. Imagine the wierd guilt she feels after they escape the BORG because that lack of emotion…it’s almost a relief.

“i’m not exactly a diplomat. it’s not something we picked up in the internment camps.”
“ no -- i don’t suppose it was. and no one is asking you to be. ” the hint of a wry smile flickered across her lips. “ but, if you could see your way to imagining you are one -- just while the ambassador is here -- i think it would go a long way towards... cooling tempers... ”
