Hey! I’m @I-am-also-very-normal-about-star-trek . I wanted this to be a main blog, so I moved.
I’m an artist (ceramics, drawing, painting) and my special interest is star trek.
Follow me on Cara! I’m @/potterytrek.
What I’ve watched: Star Trek I-VI, Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, Section 31, TNG, SNW (up to s3), LD, DS9, Disco, PIC, SFA s1
more stuff under the cut
So I’m gonna be compleatly without wifi or cell until the 29th, just so you know
important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are
reblog if you're also lame and weird.
i genuinely don't think there's much, if anything, hotter than someone clearly having a blast doing something they're really good at. doesn't really matter what it is. the combo of competence and joy is absolutely lethal to me
"I want my media to be historically accurate"
Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?
Oh, you mean you want 100% white people. Even in crowd scenes in port cities. There's a different word for that.
By gods, do I love writing horrible people who do horrible manipulative things and win at the end of the day (sexily).
Welcome to Mirror Week 2026!
Running from August 16th – August 22nd, Mirror Week is a creation event focused on the Star Trek mirror universe. All Star Trek series are welcome!
How it's gonna work:
There are three prompt lists: SFW, NSFW, and a Dark Prompts List. The SFW list is general, safe for work prompts that are Star Trek or mirror universe adjacent. The NSFW list is just that—prompts meant to inspire more explicit works. The dark list is full of prompts that fit a darker theme for those that wish to explore that side of the mirror universe.
These prompt lists are meant to inspire you, but you can get creative! You can take the SFW ideas and twist them into something NSFW, or vise versa. Make the dark ideas fluffy and lighthearted if the mood strikes you.
While following the prompts is encouraged, it is not mandatory. If you have something in mind for the mirror universe that doesn't fit with one of these prompts, go for it! It can be posted any day of the event.
Any form of creative work is allowed! Maybe you want to stick to the more traditional fic or art. That's totally fine! But maybe you want to make a playlist for your favorite mirror characters, or put together a cosplay, or do an edit or two. Maybe you've got a cool crochet or papercraft project in mind. Podfics, rec lists.... Any and all creative work is welcome!
AI generated work is not allowed.
Whether your focus is on the mirror characters or the world they live in, the mirror universe should be an essential part of your work. That being said, you don't have to limit yourself—if you want to include prime characters or the prime universe, you're more than welcome! Just make sure the mirror universe is important!
Please wait until the event begins to post your works! If you filled a certain prompt, wait until that prompt's day to post.
There is an open Ao3 collection for you to post your works HERE. It will remain open even after the event ends, so feel free to continue adding your projects inspired by the event! The collection will remained closed until the first day of Mirror Week.
Tag us so we can reblog your work! You can either tag the blog directly @mirror-events or use the tag #mirrorweek2026. This blog will continue to reblog works that fulfill prompts after the event! No matter how much time has passed, feel free to tag @mirror-events if you take inspiration from our prompt list, and your work will still be reblogged!
If posting NSFW or sensitive content, tag as appropriate! If posting on tumblr, crop NSFW or sensitive imagery and link externally so we can reblog on our page.
Prompt Lists:
The NSFW and Dark prompt lists are below the cut, as well as the plain text for all three graphics.
Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):
“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.
“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.
“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.
“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”
“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”
“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
MACO, Sec 31, Maquis, and Bajoran dishes came out of the kiln.
I’m not super happy with the Bajoran one but oh well. The Maquis one is a different clay body, with the white glaze it kinda looks like it’s been dipped in milk lol
I’m going to start posting my long, in-depth stuff on substack.
Longer posts will be made here instead of Tumblr or Cara. If you like my stuff, follow me on one of those to see more. Tumblr: @pottery-trek
So far I have one post about that belt I made, it goes thru the process as well as the stuff I talked about here
Today I made a Vulcan dish and a KCA dish!
I also glazed two more dishes, a Maquis one and a Bajoran one.
MACO dish glazed, ready to fire
Honestly I’m not sure if the letters will survive the kiln… but even if they aren’t legible, they’ll still have the effect of writing.
My ELEVEN small tan dishes came out of the bisque… I’m going to have a lot of glazing to do lol
Omg the interior design is just like tumblr!
My handbuilt flower mug came out of the kiln!! All the glazing I did really payed off nicely :) And as you can see I went a little crazy with the silicone molds lol
