Moon prince Salem

(he/him) 🐇🌙

self reblog: he's based on moon rabbit lore, the cycle of rebirth, and magical girls/royal aesthetics. he is the prince blessed by the moon. I think black queers, especially black queer/trans boys deserve to feel pretty and majestic.

Buck Bokai and manifesting the future

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "If Wishes Were Horses", we (sort of) meet Buck Bokai of the London Kings, the last great baseball player. In many ways, Star Trek's vision of baseball's future hasn't borne out. Bokai is said to have broken Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 2026, but it remains one of baseball's ultimate records; no one has come close to challenging it this century. There is no Planetary Baseball League (and one less Canadian team in Major League Baseball), though there is a World Baseball Classic. And, while no one can say what 2042 holds, the sport remains incredibly popular.

But "If Wishes Were Horses" proved extremely prescient in one sense. When the episode aired in 1993, MLB had yet to see a superstar Asian player. It wasn't until 1956, nine years after Jackie Robinson ended MLB's informal ban on Black players, that an Asian American, Bobby Balcena, even took the field for any of the league's teams. But the floodgates were soon to open. In 1995, Hideo Nomo, already an established pitcher in Nippon Professional Baseball, signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and became an instant sensation. Today, Asian MLB players, especially those who got their start in NPB, are no longer unusual, and many have distinguished themselves. Ichiro Suzuki, who broke the 84-year record for most hits in a season, became the first Asian elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame last year. Nobody doubts that Shohei Ohtani, MLB's first standout two-way player in a century, will one day join him. One goofy DS9 episode about the power of imagination didn't will their careers into existence, but Buck Bokai certainly is in keeping with Trek's knack for envisioning a multiracial future.

Ohtani, by the way, is the name of an unseen athletic trainer in Starfleet Academy. If Shohei played for the San Francisco Giants instead of the Dodgers, he'd probably have been on one of the shows himself by now. Fiction becomes reality, reality becomes fiction, and so on into infinity.
