speaking of rec lists, I was looking through ao3 fics I saved for later. And I found an old aos spirk fic I saved with time travel and multiple universes that I remember reading back when it was a wip years ago. ITS FINISHED

It was one of my favorite star trek fics ever. I think that's probably obvious in hindsight, given how much that fic ended up inspiring me - it's probably why Guardians cyclical timelines appealed to me afterward, it's probably why I'm so fond of writing time travel and universe crossovers and exploring those possibilities, and this fic really did an amazing job at doing those things and doing them in a very straightforward readable understandable way. I've only read half, but you can bet now that I've found it again ill be finishing the story as it's finally completed!

The fic is Divergence by 13empress

Who's the most awesome captain in any Star Trek franchise?

Scotty, obviously.

No, really. He totally is/was/shall forever be.

the best spirk fic trope is when spock first sees kirk and he’s like ‘hmm he is objectively attractive’ and then kirk one ups him in science talk about some obscure subject and spock is like “😳 oh no he’s hot”

[thefuzzyaya]

Bish, it better be 4th AOS movie 👊👊👊

[mylittleredgirl]

we talk a lot about janeway’s white suit in “the killing game” and rightly so but you know what we don’t talk about enough?

tuvok’s white suit, thank you for your attention

A new trek headcanon I have is "Universal Translator Deadzones".

UT's are switched off in areas where language learning is supposed to take place, especially where there are primary learners present, so schools and households provide more opportunities for language learning.

An over-reliance on universal translators enforces monolingualism, so some local governments opt to put an age limit on live translation softwares.

[marlinspirkhall]

An early part of Starfleet training is educating people to listen to the subtle hints that you're listening to live translated speech, and everyone turns to Chekhov like "Wait. If you've been speaking Russian this whole time? Why did the UT give you a Russian accent?"

Chekhov doesn't know how to tell them that he grew up speaking Russian with an American accent.

[herenya-writes]

Listen listen I love this. I bet starships have dead zones too—places where the crew can hear one another in their native languages and try their hand at learning or practice their language skills. I bet Uhura runs a club for it. I love this so much, like, a bunch of people sitting around a room chatting and you walk in and there are no less than a dozen languages being spoken. Some of its faltering and honestly pretty horrible, but others are guiding, teaching, sharing their languages and cultures and I love this so much!

[protectspock]

I love aos vs tos characters because on one hand you have the McCoys, who are frighteningly and impossible carbon copies of each other, and on the other hand you have the Chekovs, who literally have polar opposite vibes and yet are somehow both perfect.

thinking abt how data was essentially made in another mans image, arguably as a vanity project, and how his very first choice as a parent was to give his child the ability to choose her species, gender, and appearance.

[beauty-grace-outer-space]

Alright, worth a shot. 

Trek fandom: apparently Beamirang gave folks a download link for some of her fics before she deleted everything (idk how I missed that memo) but if anyone has downloads of her Trek fics, please tell me. 

They are some of my absolute favorites and I’m so sad I didn’t know they were going away. I would have saved them ALL. I would have transcribed them myself. 

[passion-of-l0vers]

white men will watch si fi and think “haha technology go brrr” when the characters are basically looking at the camera and saying “imperialism is bad. fascism is a disease. women should have rights and be able to get abortions” and then complain when newer si fi features a trans person

[trekkele]

Michael is hoping he gets a shiyen, Spock is calculating the likelihood of getting a gimmel, and Sybok is wondering if anyone will notice that he’s eaten 3 donuts so far. Driedel at the S’chn T’gai’s is about to get intense.

Happy Chanukah everyone!
