My reasons to love Star Trek Discovery

First posted on Twitter, link for thread: https://twitter.com/svebara/status/1125873671816531968

Intro

No one TV series has ever become so personally important to me as #StarTrekDiscovery. So many feelings and important thoughts, new inspiration and new people. For me this is more than a fandom. This is a part of life. And in this long txt&art thread I'll try to talk about it.

Despite the fact that I had planned to write about it for a long time, it'll not be perfect, consistent, and I will definitely forget something. Well, perfection is not the main thing, but honesty is. And it will be a lot of chaotic words from the heart. And my still bad English.

Culmets

#Culmets was the reason why I returned to watching, not very impressed with 1x01 episode. And it still remains my main reason to love #StarTrekDiscovery. Because...So great representation of true love, so great performed by Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz - it take my heart since first view.

I fell in love with ordinary things. Unfortunately it's still a rare thing, to see on TV a gay couple with really healthy relationship and without accent on their orientation. But that it should be. And I love every single detail in their interaction.

And next to these ordinary things, we saw love, which is literally stronger than death. #StarTrekDiscovery teached me hope. I lived with it since 1x10 episode and never lost it. And most importantly... I have never experienced such strong feelings about the characters.

For a long time I was not one of those who "love to feel feelings" and suffered from it, in fact. I was so “in the shell” that it was difficult for me to cry for example, although there was reasons. I cannot explain exactly how, but DSC and #Culmets helped me start open my heart.

And I've never cried so hard about characters before. About the death of Hugh, about Paul's grief, about the strength of their connecting and about everything that they had to go through. About resurrection, about new mistakes and new loneliness, and about reunion, finally.

Paul Stamets

But besides culmets, I love them both very much. #PaulStamets is my favorite character in DSC and one of my favorites ever. Passionate scientists are perhaps my favorite type of people in real life, maybe because this is my forever unrealized dream. But it's not only that.

I love endlessly what Stamets is showed not only as extremely enthusiastic about his work, but also a person with a brave heart, capable of great love, self-sacrifice for friends. A man with a not easy character. Hero, but not perfect. Wish I have a friend like him.

Hugh Culber

Hugh. I so wanted to know him more in 1 seas, well we got it all now. An experience that no one around can understand, loss of oneself on the physical level- in another sense of course but these sensations are close to me.And I still can’t calm down how great Wilson played it .

My Fan Art

#Сulmets became for me a huge source of inspiration. Perhaps, I have never drawn so much about one subject, but it's never bored, but only prompts to do more. Here are some of my works made during year.

My feelings about losing Hugh were so strong that drawing was not enough and I wrote a song. We're a very beginning group and haven't studio records yet so only this.  Read translation of lyric in description of video please.

People

DSC also has helped me fight my fear about language barrier. I didn’t have DSC fans irl and I had to go to English-speaking community. And so I found many wonderful people. For example twitter.com/SerinaTirek on Facebook group. For more than a year, she and her art are my source of joy and inspiration.

Now I do not suffer from a lack of communication with Discovery fans, including those speaking my first language and this is a great joy. I send hugs to my friends Allayonel, HardRain, Chmonder, Cammie Greene <3

Your amazing cosplay works,  @soundofcosplay are delight and a real inspiration. It is not just made with high quality, it is made with great love! As for me - I have never felt confident about this issue, but now I have already tried to sew something and have some big plans)

My tardigrade

I had some fear of sewing something, especially large in size, but ... I really wanted to have my own space tardigrade's baby, which I painted recently. This is how Mark, an albino #tardigrade, appeared (named after the hero from Rent, of course :) 

Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz

And also my great discovery thanks to Discovery (I love this wordplay) was Anthony and Wilson.Their movies, activism, musical activities, and just THEM are my source of inspiration and joy every day.

Anthony Rapp

I first found out about Rent a year ago, and it was love. I had a difficult period in my life, I listened these songs, and other songs also performed by him, and that helped. It continues to help. It's more than "one more favorite singer." It's  is a special place in my heart.

Silence will never win. His #Metoo story was the one because of which I really thought about this topic at 1st time. How complicated it all is, although it should not be: rapist is always guilty. It's so terrible that many don't understand this.I admire his courage.

Watching his filmography, I discovered so much interesting. "Do you take this man" has become one of the most important films to me, this lesson about "non-perfection "...  I watching and cry every time)

Wilson Cruz

I don't know when I would finded “My so-called life” and “13 reasons why”, if it were not for Wilson . And I'm so glad for this, these series have become very important to me. / And Ricky's story is so touching and powerful. so especial.

I truly admire his activism. It's courage, sincerity and inspiration for others. When I watch videos where he talk about it - I always cry and can't help to stop. He is the one of them who makes this world better ...and we need more of his beautiful singing voice ))

Conclusion

Well... I talked a lot, and I will talk again later, but for today, I think, this thread is finished) Thanks to everyone who read and understood my feelings.   ... and sorry for my bad English)) #StarTrekDiscovery is love.
