T'Lyn- "This crew is always weird and yelling."

A couple GIFs I made

Just in case you need to emphasize a CALL TO ACTION!

Or perhaps you need to show how you may be little, but you're FIERCE.

It’s Monday, so it’s time for Casual Trek!

We’ve reached episode 69, so we had to celebrate by watching The Naked Time and The Naked Now duology, and then an episode of Lower Decks where they get more raucous than usual. We also have recurring guest @celesteisbest on board to share in the nonsense!

I feel like I'm being unfair because it's a perfectly fine episode and it's T'Lyn focused.

But... she has Bendii syndrome and that's the problem?

I'd have really preferred if we had an episode on her having character flaws that are her flaws rather than ones an illness forced on her. Like have her being obsessed with getting back to her ship and resenting the others and having to get over it and them resenting that she really wants to leave them and they have to come into a middle ground.

I'm probably asking too much from the show and T'Lyn is a fun interesting character but she needs something to make her more balanced.

And tangentially if the numbers of Mariner x T'Lyn shippers isn't growing exponential from the last two episodes well... they should be.

So, I have about 35 unpublished star trek one shots that ive been casually working on for almost two years that includes:

-vulcan mind switching

-a vulcan named T’lan (pronounced like T’lyn)

-spock having moments of being full human

-spock takes the ship (with crew permission) to save one of their own

-kirk goes back in time with someone not from his universe to right the timeline

I mean, what a fun bunch of coincidences (or simply the repetitive nature of trek)

As unironically great as "Empathalogical Fallacies" was as a whole, there was a glaring flaw: T'Lyn does not @#%ing have Bendii Syndrome!

I'm putting my foot down here!

Still wondering if they're going to pay off that Boimler tarot reading in the season finale.

My clips from Lower Decks S04E05, "Empathalogical Fallacies"

Okay, here's the collection that took up my entire morning!

The best single line of the episode, isolated, for your pleasure.

T'Lyn saying what we all feel, kind of. I relate too hard to this.

Isn't it weird how Tendi is completely unaffected by T'Lyn's influence? I mean, I SEE NO DIFFERENCE. Thirsty, thirsty woman.

It's about Worf. I can't NOT post it.

Legit, Shaxs is my favorite of the bridge crew, and he's definitely part of the TEDDY BEAR PACK.

Of all the races portrayed in Lower Decks, the Romulans are the most cartoonish. I'm not the only one who thinks that, am I?

It's just such a sweet scene that I had to include it.

Whew. Okay. I've spent enough time on clipping Lower Decks today. Now time to write Lower Decks fanfiction. LLAP, humans and otherwise.
