My heart will always belong to TNG, but I do love the otherones (except really for ENT)

I NEVER !! 1 !!!

4)     Least favorite captain.

Jonathan Archer. Just…meh. He likes dogs, tho, so he’s gotthat going for him.

Picard. He makes me feel like he’d be the best dad, even thohe doesn’t like kids. I love him, such a literary awkward old man. Grumpy.Grumpy space dad, trying to keep track of all his little space children whokeep getting kidnapped and stranded and duplicated in transporters. It’s a busylife.

6)     Favorite TOS episode.

Amok Time. Kirk literally got Spock to beat the need for sexout of himself, using Kirk’s body as a punching bag.  Also that one where Kirk and Spock get whippedby Nazis.

12)  Favorite ship * STARSHIP*.

U. S. S. Enterprise 1701-D. I have two scalemodels. One was made by hotwheels, the other was made in the 80s when theseries first came out. I still have to paint it, but I have most everythingelse assembled. It’s p sizable.

25)  Favorite minor character.

Either Guinan, Keiko O’Brien, or Ro Laren

I’ve seen most if not all of TOS because that’swhat my parents introduced me with, and all of TNG multiple times because I’m ahorrible obsessive nerd.

Sadly, I have not. But I want to get to a TNG get togetherand meet all the actors before they pass on like the ones from TOS are startingto.

30)  Least favorite character?

Wesley, but only rly in season one. Once thewriters start fleshing everyone out the series on whole becomes much lesscringe-worthy. Love you Wes <3

If you don't mind me asking, how/why is g*psy a slur? I've never known that it could be offensive. I always thought it was a type of umbrella term, like someone would say they're Asian or European but the continent is broken into different countries.

Hey, sorry I took a while to respond to this. I don’t mind you asking at all, but because I am not Romani and lack Romani ancestry, I don’t think I should answer this ask using my own words. Here’s some sources I found written by individuals who are Romani on why g*psy is a slur.

Like most if not all slurs, the word itself is deeply rooted in institutional and casual racism, both in history and in practice. I hope this helps you.

◕‿◕:what is your guilty pleasure?

Honestly, I think my guiltiest pleasure would be spending money on myself, and I indulge often. I’ve had my eyes on these awesome see-through marten style boots, but I just blew an unjustifiable amount on myself last weekend on really frivolous things .3.

(ง •̀_•́)ง

(ง •̀_•́)ง : are you okay?

I’m okay right now, thanks for asking. I’m still up and down with my mental health, but the other day at MOA there was this freak mix-up where two people named Carly both ordered mac + cheese to go, but I ordered first and the second Carly picked up my order and I was actually brave enough to tell her about the mix up, and that’s something I never would have been able to do without the help that I’ve received.

Also, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my sister while she’s recuperating, and I love my job at this daycare I’m working at with my mom, it’s all going really well actually. I’m ready for next semester, and I’m ready to study abroad. Things are going really well for me.
