Tumblr should know of my obsession with this book, I finished annotating it and I have 12 pages worth of notes that I took over a few months. It has defeated me but I have also defeated it.

I went to a museum archive to look at Star Trek slash fanart from the 1980s !!!!

The fan artist was Barbra Gordon (no not batgirl) who was actually quite a controversial figure in 80s Star Trek fandom as she included rather intense kinks in her fanfiction (I can elaborate more if asked, but I also haven’t read her most controversial fics and I don’t plan to due to personal comfort) and she obviously enjoyed some leather.

In todays fan culture if someone doesn’t like a kink in a fic they can scroll away and not interact with the person, however in the time of zines women would pay ahead of time, and would sometimes be met with things not to their taste as often these more intense inclusions were not disclosed, leading to many arguments amongst fans.

She did also like… plagiarize art… and publish works under someone’s real name when they asked her to use a pseudonym. Not the best fandom figure in that regard either.

Being controversial doesn’t mean that she was not a part of the fandom though, and her work being preserved in an archive like this is so awesome. They did also say they would possibly want more zines from the olden Star Trek fandom days, as they don’t have much fan content in their collection right now! (This is at the leather archive and museum in Chicago, if you have things to donate you should 1000% email them)

The way I came back to this app to make a post about this and I worded it in the most friendly way possible and it still got marked makes me so sad :(

One of my favorite interpretations of the Garashir Lunch Debates is that Bashir knows full well that he’s flirting with Garak. Garak, on the other hand, thinks that he’s really lucky that Bashir definitely doesn’t know that he’s been flirting with him. This obviously leads to a situation where Bashir thinks they have a will-they-won’t-they romcom-type thing going, and Garak thinks he’s in a devastating tale of unrequited love and he’s the tragic heroine who will suffer for his beloved.

This image existing makes me want to concoct gay fanfiction about The Sopranos

[queen-karis-nonsense-ramblings]

TOS Episodes: "Who hath cometh for thine own lamentations?" and it's about an interdimensional slime that eats sadness

TNG Episodes: "The Defense" And it's about a defense

DS9 Episodes: "Hold the Line" and it has a A-plot of dramatic war and philosphy, with a B-plot of Quark scamming a single mother out of her life saving, before being forced to give some of it back

VOY Episodes: "Combat" and the whole episode is a master-and-commander style space battle.

ENT Episodes: "The Ship" and it's about the ship docking with another ship.

DIS Episodes: "Cometh thou for thine'sths own might so that hath we art to belongeth" and it's part 7 of 24 of chasing the alien that eats planets because it's sad.

LD Episodes: "The Good, the Bad, and the Boimler" And it's where Boimler and Mariner trade personalities for a week.

SNW Episodes: "E Pluribus Union" And it's a a complex metaphor for the current socio-economic situation of the United States, immediatly followed by an episode where they are all transported into an alternate universe where they can only communicate through Canterbury Tales quotes.

PRO Episodes: "There and Back Again" And it's about a group of unqualified 13 year olds making the worst string of decisions possible and somehow stopping what would otherwise be a galactic crisis on a scale never before seen
