A return round for you!

🌙 decaf – what do they do when they can’t sleep?

For whichever OC is your favorite!

Welcome to my OC bar! Thanks so much for the round!

My favorite OC right now is Talia Kelso, my Trill Engineer who serves aboard Deep Space Nine after Chief O'Brien returns to Earth. I absolutely love her!!

Talia has always enjoyed quiet activities when spending time alone, so if she ever struggled to sleep, (which happened a lot after the Dominion War, as she struggled with survivor's guilt) she would rely on one of them. Lately, her favorite has been charcoal sketching when looking out at the wormhole, either in her quarters or on the Promenade. There's something soothing about it to her, allowing herself to think about what's bothering her, sketching out her feelings, or be able to ignore it and focus on something else. Some of her best drawings have come from it, and also some of her most heartbreaking ones.

Thanks again for the ask!

🍪 cookies and cream frappuccino for two of your Star Trek OCs that you want to talk more about!

Ah!!! Hello!!!! Welcome to the OC ask Bar!!!!

🍪 cookies & cream frappuccino – what brings them comfort?

So I think Im gonna go with Alice and Mason for this one.

For context (and because I love an excuse to info dump) Alice Aadams and Mason Dubois are OCs I have set aboard Voyager in the alternate timeline where it takes 23 years to get home. This timeline is where all of my OCs exist lol.

Alice is the younger daughter of an admiral who always dreamed of being a Captain. She spent her academy years making friends with the smartest people she knew in the hopes of having them be her senior staff when she eventually was able to assemble her own. She gets stranded on Voyager with Micah (one of my main OCs) who has been her best friend since her first year at the academy.

Mason is (when Voyager gets stranded) a 19 year old Maquis who joined with his twin sister. He honestly never really expected to live the kind of life where he settled down and so when he falls stupid in love with Alice when hes 20 he starts to actually want a future with her. Alice however seems to tolerate him and is constantly picking arguments about petty things (like favorite artist, meaning being some book, ect) (He is also kinda into arguing with her but assumes she doesn't like him the same way because of it)

For Alice, shes a hot drinks kinda girl for comfort. She loves hot chocolate, tea, cider, pretty much anything like that.

Mason i think is a comfort food/cooking kinda person and its dumplings. His mom definitely taught him a recipe at some point and when he has a chance he'll replicate the ingredients to actually cook them since its about more then just the food for him.

Thank you so much for the ask!!!! Welcome to the OC ask Bar, come back for another order anytime!!

A little story of my medic OC, Kahrs Joata, from Bajor!

The town was alight with life, a startling difference to many years before. Before, there was silence, darkness and sadness and slavery, grief and loss and pain. Those days felt long gone as Joata observed the joy around her. Bajoran children ran on the streets, holding jamba sticks and laughing loudly. Parents didn’t fret over them, only observing them with a smile. The smell of cooked asnor fish seemed to linger on everything, a sign of wealth. Recovery. 

Yes, Bajor was recovering. Slowly. Joata knew scars would remain, like scars that lingered on her skin and the skin of those she fought beside, yet healing could still come. The Gratitude Festival was a reminder of that. 

Joata turned back to her work, relaxing under her tarp roof, and continued to break apart the dry herbs in a wooden bowl. A pain reliever, for Krisat, who sat a few tents from her with a nasty bruise on his head. He had tripped while playing with his son. Not while fighting the Cardassians. The thought made Joata smile slightly. 

“Joata! Joata!” A child, Letian, a young girl with fiery red hair, greeted her. She ran up to her, grabbing her hand and pulled her to her feet. “Come play with us!”

“Not now, my dear.” Joata said with a laugh. “Soon.”

“Are you healing someone?”

She smiled. “I’m trying.”

Letian grinned. “You can do it. You can do anything.”

Joata laughed again. If only she could. Yet, she knew that she would always try.

Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! I've been wanting to create more content for my OCs for a while, and this was the first step! And Joata will always have a massive place in my heart!

Hi I love you all🖤

[inthetags]

Reblog and put in the tags a book you like that most people haven’t heard of.

[cholvoq]

I feel like early in their friendship Rocky would be curious about Grace’s glasses (ft. Grace’s inability to wear them correctly)

[gr8writingtips]

writing tip #4166:

if you're wondering if you should tone down the angst, that's a sign you should actually increase it

Imagine Grace gets the hiccups, but Rocky has no clue what's going on and thinks he's dying. Cue Grace trying to explain what hiccups are while hiccupping.

Jim Kirk *handing out friendship bracelets to the entire Enterprise bridge crew*: Friendship bracelets for everybody! Here, take one!

Spock *stares at his, confused*: Captain, what is the meaning of this?

Dr.McCoy *both of his arms covered in bracelets, looking extremely displeased about it*: If you're ever going to listen to my advice, now would be the time. Put the thing on or you'll end up like me. He'll wrestle them onto you if he has to.

Spock puts on the bracelet wordlessly, and the two continue to watch as Jim begins to hand them out to every crew member he sees.

Spock: May I inquire how he obtained such bracelets?

Dr. McCoy: No clue, Spock. I have absolutely no clue.

The entire range of human skin tones varies from so pale white that it's almost kind of blue, to so deep black that it's almost kind of blue, and I think that's beautiful. Do you love the colour of the guy.
