Lace's Trek Musings

A place to put all my Trek liveblogs and musings

[sikoi]

me looking up the definition of a word i totally know the meaning of i just have to make sure it didn’t change for some reason or i made it up

[eirene]

Flirt, circa 1895-1900 Alphonse Mucha

[lacefedora]

Welp it’s done. I’m not fully happy with it but I like it. It was my aim at a further modified Viktor. I do really like how the glow came out on his modified limbs. My attempts at an art nouveau background were pretty successful I think! It might be nice enough for a print… maybe? I don’t know I need to gauge interest.

I really love Viktor from Arcane and is you haven’t watched, it it’s on Netflix(in the US at least I’m not use about elsewhere) please go watch it. I hope fellow Viktor fans out there enjoy this!

[lacefedora]

Late night TNG is on and its ‘Half A Life’ and like I’m still not over this episode. They just let Majel Barrett carry it and it’s just so fucking GOOD. There’s no b plot running while Lwaxana and Timicin fall in love in the background. it’s at the forefront, all tied together.

They let a recurring character carry the show and showed us a man that finds Lwaxana and her quirks so utterly charming, to the point that for a little while, he considered leaving everything behind to be with her. Showed us two people over the age of fifty falling in love. And Carry it she does. Its so good.

Can’t sleep

Trek sexuality headcanons

Number one. In star Trek perfect utopia everyone is assumed bi/pan/not straight until proven otherwise. Bi had become the default setting. People do not get squiked out over same sex suitors. It is the norm.

Fuck how am I gonna start. Okay letsee in order I guess.

Kirk- 100% Omnisexual omniromantic Can and will fall in love with everything. Super bad at being casual and not falling desperately in love with object of his affection even of said object is the enterprise itself.

Spock- Vulcans are tough to pin down but I’m gonna go with Demi-Ace and Demiromantic. Has to be friends with them a while before the feels come in. Will literally never let go once he loves you tho

Bones- okay I’m of two minds on this one. Because AoS Bones is Ace/Aro. He is soooooo Ace/Aro it hurts and Jim completely confuses him. TOS bones feels less Ace. Still gray-ace tho. And he is biromantic to the max.

Uhura- Bi Babe in all forms. Bi romo too. she loves fiercely and protectively

Checkov- bisexual Aro boy

Sulu- gay with Pan leanings. So romantic. So so romance

Scotty- biromantic Space Ace.

Chapel- Pan

Janice Rand- hard to get a read off Rand, ill go with bi across the board.

— I’ll do more of the other serieses later. Note these are just my personal headcanons I’m not trying to pick any fights or argue. Feel free to offer up your own.

[lacetrekmusings]

TNG

Picard- Demi-Ace, demi-romantic, pan. When he falls, he falls hard, but enjoys a casual fling from time to time.

Riker- just like Kirk he’s omniromantic omnisexual. Riker’s so sexual it causes him to put his foot in his mouth sometimes but he tries.

Deanna- Paannnnnnn. Pan romantic. Not great at casual sex but it’s been known to happen.

Data- Ace, bi-romantic. He has to work hard at relationships but he can come to like them if his partner understands him (*coughs* geordi *coughs*)

Geordi- Bi but prefers men. his only successful romance in the show was with Data. ( I love geordi so much but cringe my way through geordi tries to date episodes)

Beverly- Pan but prefers men. No one in space is straight. I’m still so genuinely mad they didn’t let her kiss the lady Trill

Worf- Bi but prefers women. Especially women that can beat him up verbally(if not physically). He and Tasha could have been so good together I weep at the lack of development. HIM AND DEANNA TOO. I’m still super pissed about K’Ehleyr. Will make out with anyone that spars with him and beats him. His prudishness I think it mostly cultural.

Wesley- you know outside of hormones I think is Demi-ace panromantic.

Guinan- Pan, pan romantic. She’s been around too long to limit herself. loves flirting. and loves a slow burn. Picard/Guinan still has a special place in my heart.

Tasha- That girl was bi. bi-romantic too.

[lacetrekmusings]

so One the bby borg in Voyager’s ‘drone’ died and they just yoinked the Doctor's mobile emitter out of his dead brain eh?

[lacefedora]

fallin into a clickhole on memory alpha yesterday I discovered that Captain James T Kirk and Sylvia Tilly were born in the same year. Meaning Discovery’s favorite red-head likely attended starfleet academy with James Tiberius Kirk. God I hope she knows stories about stupid antics and grumpily recounts the time he cheated on the Koboyashi Maru test then got a commendation for original thinking.

[lacefedora]

Disco made Spock (and Amanda!) canonically Dyslexic y’all and I’m still kinda crying about it. This is really awesome.

[lacetrekmusings]

TAS liveblog: the lorelei signal

[lacetrekmusings]

it has been twenty-two years since the Voyager Episode ‘Flashback’ aired and I AM STILL MAD that we didn’t get that Excelsior spin off with Captain Sulu and First Officer Janice Rand that they talked about. I WANTED IT SO BAD

RAMMING SPEED AT THE BRAIN

Spock’s gonna vulcan mind meld the space brain

there he goes lol Cloud’s like “WHAT THE FUCK MY FOOD IS TALKING TO ME”

Spock I feel like you’re being a little overly convoluted in these explanations

cloud immediately uses Spocks body to gently touch Kirk’s face. WOW

HAHAAHA two guys just fucking running from a wolf in one of the pictures they showed.

aww Cloud gets it

what if cloud left because it was out of food tho. Cloud’s gonna come back some day and eat everyone

ANDORIAN FIRST OFFICER sorry i just love andorians

scotty’s magic forcefield belt was just on again.

ahahaahhahaah evil entity possesses ship and threatens Spock, Kirk drops everything to help him.

Animated Scotty Buff

haha broke free of you creepy possessive thing.

[lacetrekmusings]

Tng is on in reruns and "remember me" is on. I like this episode, but mostly I just love the bits with Gates because she's brilliant.

Anyway my point was. Does the Traveller just like Lurks around CONSTANTLY? He just like hovers around Wesley all the time? One that's pretty creepy bro. And two WHY DIDNT YOU HELP SOONER YOU PRICK?? HE JUST COMES IM LAST MINUTE TO DUEX EX MACHINA THIS SHIT. I should have just been picturing this the whole time. The traveller waiting in the wings for someone to give him his cue then the writers forget about him for a while longer.

[lacetrekmusings]

tng half-assed liveblog: Star trek: Generations

bottttllle iiiinnnn spaaaaacccceeeee

and we’re floating

yay the enterprise!

Kirk feels so old lol

Demora Sulu!!!

It wouldn’t be the enterprise without a sulu at the helm

*sniffles*

Kirk misses Spock and Bones

Chekov and Scotty are sarcastic assholes and i love them.

Lol Kirk will fight this captain if he doesn’t go help

the Nexussssss

Tuvok but not Tuvok!

There are few enough El-Aurians stop blowing them up

I’m really proud of Kirk for waiting to start giving orders until the other captain asked for help

aww only 47 el-aurians *sniffles*

Guinan!

Kirk’s like ‘wait no I get to be the heroic one. I love doing that.’

Everyone looks so sad when they realize Kirk’s likely been spaced

‘Was anyone in here’ ouch chekov, ouch

lol and that’s the story of how kirk “died” the one time that Spock and Bones weren’t around.

LOOK AT THESE NERDS celebrating promotions on the holodeck.

So this is like… right before Worf is reassigned to DS9 right?

they all look so fucking dapper

that was just fucking petty Riker HAHAHA

oh no

Well it was kind of Worf to try to catch Beverly when Data tried his joke… poor Data. He tries so hard lol

HEY YOU KNOW WHAT I”M STILL BITTER ABOUT. FUCKING THIS

Picard is emotionally compromised man. MAJORLY

There he is!. aww dead Romulan. but yay green blood

lol Spot just doing the cat thing.

aww Data babe

the emotion chiiiipppp

aww Geordi is worried about putting the emotion chip in.

Picard you’re supise bad at hiding that you’re fucked up right now lol.

that chick in the ds9/voy unitform with the short hair is hot

“They say time is the fire in which we burn”

Riker looks so weird in the ds9/voy uniform lol

So does Data! it’s so hilarious that half the uniforms are new and half are old

Open Sesame HAHAH, That’ laughter’s sounding awful manic there data… geordi you should check that out

maybe putting in the chip before a mission was a bad idea

oh dear see I told ya

aww oh no data experiencing fear. poor baby.

HEY NO WHAT ARE YOU TALKIGN ABOUT ROBERT AND RENE ARE STILL ALIVE FUCK YOU

Patrick really sells it though and it hurts A LOT fuck.

‘Captain it’s not all right’ I’ve always appreciated the importance this show places on mental health.

Lursa and B’etor! my ladieeessssssssss i love them. looks like B’etor had her kid.or was it Lursa…

Guinan’s quarters!! Damn i love her hair like that.

I admit I would probably go to great lengths to get into the Nexus

excuse you Geordi’s vizor is the MOST stylish.

Aww Data poor baby is so fucked up and so worried about Geordi

Data, Picard is also having trouble with his emotions these two nerds are both jsut barely holding it together.

Stellar cartography is WAY cooler than the last time I saw it

HOly shit Data looks so relieved what Geordi wasn’t harmed. MY SHIPPER HEART

they essentially just put a gopro in his vizor lol

hey Ogawa!

Soran is so overdramatic lol

“I jsut love scanning for lifeforms” Everyone is SO CONFUSED at his little song

I miss Klingons with long gorgeous hair *glares at discovery*

aww there go Lursa and B’etor =(

haha everyone is very very slowly changing their uniforms to the new ones

aww teeny bolian kid being evacuated

“Oh shit” hahaa

WOOp there they go crashing the saucer section!

kjshfksjh Data holding Deanna

kick his ass picard! But then this dude is like 300+ lol

nexus ribbon is so pretty.

damn that’s a cool effect for 94

aww Jean-luc’s perfect world he has a family and rene (and I assume Robert) are still alive. so sweet.

THE LITTLE STARS ON THE TREES ARE WARNING SIGNS

The echo of Guinan yessss

Picard’s like ‘holy shit that’s kirk’

Kirk asks for dill and Picard just goes and gets it lol

“and what did it get me? an empty house” Kirk’s so damn lonely ouch.

Picard can ride to Kirk you’re not leaving him behind lol

so if the thigns the nexus makes aren’t ‘real’ then how is it they *really* manage to go back in time and stop Soran??? PLOT HOLES

“because while you’re there you can make a difference.”

“Who am I to argue with the captain of the enterprise” MY HEART

“if spock were here’ RUDe

supposedly all that metal stuff is still out in the dessert I should go out there to see it sometime.

lol I seriously don’t understand why anyt of this works.

how did Soran even get down there? *pulls out emperor’s new groove chart’

“call me Jim” jean-luc tries not to fanboy

this is gonna be bad, no poor kirk

lol Picard just locked the clamps bitch HA HA

aww Picard running to help Kirk

“Did we make a difference?’  UM EXCUSE ME OUCH

“it was fun” I’m not crying you’re crying. “oh my” FUCK YOU OUCH

that’s very nice of you to bury him Jean-luc but I’m pretty sure Starfleet will come collect the body.

Deanna’s incredulous look at data is priceless.

SPOT him crying about his cat gets me every fucking time.

aww saved the family album.

they keep fuckign swapping unforms WHY

anyway i love generations and haters can fuck off

[lacetrekmusings]

TNG liveblog: star trek: First Contact

one of my absolute faves my friends

the music for this one is SO GOOD

BORG there’s locutus with his red lazer pointer.

aww poor Jean-luc

YAY THE GRAY UNIFORMS. i love the gray uniforms

this one takes plave in the middle of the dominion war doesn’t it?

I dunno jean-luc teh Dominion is proving pretty lethal this far.

lol everyone is so outraged

Geordi has his implants!

Jean-luc, standing in the dark listening to SUPER intense opera

no one does creepy like the Borg

“To hell with our orders” yes good Data

the enterprise E bridge seems so much smaller and poorly lit

THE DEFIANT it was really nice of Sisko to let Worf go and fight the Borg lol

Jean-luc is hearing them whisper

whoops the goes the sphere

Worf’s like ‘Riker I will fuck you up’ He looks so good in red

Borg earth looks super cool

aww they blew up the bar

ooh ooh ‘quantum’ torpedos

2063, so in 2053 theres world war 3 nice to know theres an apocalypse to look forward to

the pheonix is so phallic lol

data just hops down three stories, gets shot “greetings”

poor lily

i love picard’s jacket here

‘would you three like to be alone?’ I love you deanna

these poor engineers getting assimilated

picard hears more whisperrrrrrsss

Ogawa!! she had a line <33

Data’s contacts are way darker in this one

EMH YESSSSS “i’m a doctor not a doorstop”

and Lily just slips away hahaha

Picard in his fancy captains vest

jean-luc After Hugh i am slightly annoyed with that ‘kill them all’ attitude

Deanna is HELLA drunk

I sitll love that first contact was technically made when Deanna sat around drinking with Zephram Cochrane

sooo drunk “you’re blended allright’

phaser rifles are neat looking

whoop borg-ified enterprise

‘Data perhaps you should deactivate your emotion ship for now’ I wish i had that ability

whoops the borg have taken notice

Worf immediately beating the shit out of the borg after they adapt to the phasers is awesome.

nooo they got Data.

cold Picard, cold, though I get that you really don’t have the time to try to save assimilated crew members right this moment…

i love Borg stuff you guys. it’s all so damned neat

BORG QUEEN creating the borg queen was a damned stroke of genius and I will fight anyone that doens’t think so lol. she’s so cool and a Queen for their hive mindddddd

Zephram’s double take with the telescope is still great

“you make first contact with an alien race and after you so” SIGNIGIFCANT LOOK AT DEANNA “Nothing will ever be the same.”

You’re all astronauts on some kind of star trek” YES HE SAID THE THING

meanwhile the borg are decimating the crew of the enterprise lol

Lily bossing Picard around at gunpoint shouldn’t be so funny

“It’s my first raygun” Lily doesn’t get enough credit among star trek ladies. She is SO GOOD

THERES MY QUEEN. “I am the Borg”

“i bring order to chaos” Ya’ll don’t understand how obsessed I was with her as a kid.

“I am not frightened” Data says fearfully

this giving Data human skin was always so funny to mean because like you take away everything from those they assimilate.

HELL YES NO MONEY i need to be in the 24th century now

WOOO Neelix(Ethan phillips) in the Dixon hill Holonovel <3

Picard in a white tux with a tommy gun is so weirdly satisfying.

Poor Ensign Lynch

BARCLAY my nervous babe fanboying out

“Reg Chill” says Geordi lol

Geordi no don’t tell him about the statue lol

“gotta take a leak’ is no longer slang for going pee in the 24th century

Woot Delta Quadrant shout out

Worf is just looks SO DISAPPOINTED about the idea of a spacewalk lol

“Watch you caboose Dix” I LOVE LILY

Hey man cut data some slack he’s never had skin to be wounded before lol

excuse you Geordi usually removes his defective circuits.

‘Don’t eb tempted by flesh” given a whole new meaning

8 years aww since Tasha

Get some Data. I admit I’d probably make out with the borg queen.

lol chasing Cochrane allll over

“You told him about the statue??” I love this movie.

lol one borg literally knocked off into space and still they aren’t considered a threat yet.

Worf of course thought to bring a big fucking knife with his space suit.

Hey that borg used to be a klingon!

aww poor Hawk Bye Neal Mcdonough!

good thing the borg walk to so slow. they’re like zombies.

ASSIMILATE THIS Fuck yeah WORF

the defector on the enterprise e is dinky lol

I keep spelling Zefram wrong, Lace you have the subtitles on pay attention.

“Don’t try to be a great man, just be a man, let history make it’s own distinctions.” still a great line

that poor ensign is like “i’m being ordered to die… right… okay then.”

Picard you’re being nuts bro.

You tell him Worf

IF YOU WERE ANY OTHER MAN I WOULD KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND. you went too far Jean-luc

Lily is like ‘fuck this shit’ ugh i fucking love this part.

“they’re probably accustomed to your orders making sense!”

So someday I’m going to write a dissertation on Picard and Seven of Nine’s completely different feelings about very similar experiences. i really need to do this because i have a billion feelings about it.

Haha Lily called you OUT and she’s fuckign right.

“They invade our space and we fall back” this speech is so gooooood and is lily’s follow up ‘see you around Ahab’ little did she know Picard is a giant literary nerd and she couldn’t have chosen a better thing to pull him out of his shit spiral.

oh auto destruct needs 3 ranking officers now

‘plenty of letters left in the alphabet’

‘some?’ Worf doesn’t fuck around lol

Data is summoning you picard.

Magic Carpet ride was playing during the first warp flight, keep that in mind lol

the launch separation looks SO COOL

aww lookit it’s little Nacelles.

I always though the escape pods looked like flying pianos as a kid.

The borg queen is all offended at your lack of remembering Picard

Data’s fancy eye-patch of skin and one blue eye. It was a good look.

“you can’t begin to imagine the life you denied yourself”

lol Data once again proving that he can just fuck up anything on this ship without anyone being able to stop him ever.

After the ‘descent’ incident’ Jean-luc is really not 100% that Data hasn’t turned lol

“relax I’m sure they’re just her et give us a send off’ lol no riker they’re there to shoot you

‘RESISTANCE IS FUTILE’ FUCKIGN FUCK THEM UP DATA YESSSSS

I love the emergency venting snakes

Picard buff

LOL that’s not the only borg queen bitches, why would she only have on body?

“it’s about to get a whole lot bigger”

I love it when the captains are stripped down to their tank tops. GOOD LOOK

“for a time I was tempted by her offer”

“0.68 seconds, sir”

SOLKARRRRR Spock great-grandpa

I LOVE THE MUSIC IN THIS ONE

THE EARS

he can’t do the Vulcan salute lol

lol there’s the handshake

‘I shall miss you Lily’ ME TOO PICARD

lol the Vulcan jumping up out of his seat when the music starts

aww i love that movie so much. best next gen film

[meggory84]

This is my favourite Trek movie but hot damn could we invent holodecks instead of the impending Third World War

[lacetrekmusings]

apparently not but at least we skipped over the Eugenics wars in the 1990s?
