Because I am a proud haver of toes who will never stop mentioning her toes, talking about how proud she is of her toes, or talk about her toes in relevant and irrelevant contexts both because of her primitive proclivities.

Gaila/Jaylah for the femslash asks

I should say first that I haven’t read the comics, so all I know about Gaila comes from aos and headcanons

1. Random headcanon

Gaila taught Jaylah how to dance, and they love to dance together

2. Why I started shipping them

Honestly, I just knew I read Jaylah as a lesbian, and aos has 9 named women, including Jaylah herself, Gaila was the one I thought she’d be most compatable with, and it’s honestly really cute thinking about how Gaila can bring fun into Jaylah’s life after Altamid, since she can relate to growing up in a shitty situation

3. An au I want to see

It’s not really totally an au, but I really want to see them in the prime universe. It’d be amazing if either or both of them showed up in Disco

4. How do they get together?

Gaila survived, but was badly injured when Nero attacked all of the cadet ships at Vulcan, so she was put out of commission for a few years, and grounded to Earth for a while after that, which is when Jaylah started attending the academy. Gaila started hanging out at her old haunts to try to feel normal again. Meanwhile Jaylah was nervously trying to get into socializing after being alone on Altamid for so long, so she goes to the popular student hang outs. They meet a few different times, thinking that the other is cute each time, and eventually start talking to each other, and realize how much they can relate to each other. Growing up a slave and growing up as a survivor of a crashed ship on a planet otherwise solely populated by people trying to kill you aren’t the same situation, but they both had to slowly recover from their trauma at the academy, and they realize they can help each other do that, so they become fast friends. After a while, Gaila admits that she really likes Jaylah, they can totally stay friends and nothing will change if Jaylah doesn’t feel the same, but can they go out sometime? Jaylah immediately accepts.

5. Who has the tackiest fashion sense?

Jaylah definitely has a unique fashion, but it’s not quite tacky. Gaila meanwhile, has an amazing fashion sense, but revels in tacky clothes anyway.

6. Who hogs the blanket?

They both fight over it constantly. They eventually decide to try two blankets, but they both still end up trying to use both

7. Who comes up with cheesy pickup lines/puns?

Gaila, 100%

8. Who (tries to) cook?

Jaylah. She’s used to having to survive off of what she can make, and it gives her a sense of normalcy to make her own food, whereas Gaila prefers to use the food synthesizers as they remind her she’s in a safe place

9. Who blushes furiously when the other says sappy shit?

Both of them, though they both insist that they don’t

10. Nicknames/ pet names?

Gaila calls Jaylah pet names all the time: sweetheart, babe, honey, you name it. Jaylah calls Gaila “my love,” but only in private

11. How often/how do they say “I love you”?

Gaila says it freely, casually, and frequently. Every time Jaylah says or does something she thinks it cute, she’ll tell her she loves her. Jaylah doesn’t say it infrequently, but it’s less often than Gaila does. When she says it, she fills it with meaning, and will occasionally tack on one of the pet names Gaila uses, just to make her smile

12. What do they fight about?

They fight about little things, like a normal couple, but the big thing they fight about is when they worry that the other isn’t taking care of themselves, and they get defensive

13. Who’s more of a cat person?

Jaylah is entranced by cats when she is introduced to them. She loves to hear them purr.

14. Who makes innuendos to make the other blush?

Gaila, absolutely

15. Who does the romantic gestures like flowers and chocolate?

Neither of them are too invested in human ideas of romance, but they both do their own small romantic things

STO also kill off Landry's fiancee/gf (Amna Patel) in the next episode. So while I really do like their relationship and there's a good deal of interaction considering that they're sidecharacters, I'm not universally fond of the two missions. That said, Landry is - next to the captain you yourself play - put front and center in the story. It gives a really good and emotional explanation for why she's so extreme and so loyal to Lorca when we meet her. But I won't say this calls for celebration.

they get zero points for this then, introducing characters who give us rep like this when one of them is already killed off later in canon and then killing off the other one is just extremely disappointing. thanks for the heads up.

jewishcomeradebot reblogged your post:Piping hot take

Nah man, coldest of cold takes. And Antiblack and misogynioristic.It’s 2019 guys, can we let Black women be loved and...

That’s not what that was at all, not in the least bit, and I don’t have a clue where you could have received that idea and I’m sorry that was your take.

Uhura could have been paired up with Scotty (if she had to be paired with a man specifically) as was the implied relationship she could have had as shown in the Final Frontier when Sybok made the crew more open in their feelings.

The only reason why Uhura and Spock were paired up in the JJ-Trek timeline was that it appears that women needed to be connected to men to suit the plot and were kinda treated poorly by the plot (this is before Beyond because in Beyond JJ wasn’t involved) ex.

Carol Marcus’  and Nyota Uhura’s unnecessary stripping scene

Nurse Chapel only being mentioned that she was Kirk’s one night stand and due to being a one night stand had to leave the ship

The dollifying and sexualizing of the Caitian Species as shown by those Cat Girls as bed candy in Into Darkness

The fact that the mini-dress women’s uniforms were some how even less covering and even tighter than in TOS that literally stripped the women of their rank (in TOS women’s uniforms had their rank at the end of their long sleeves just like the men, these were cut off in JJ’s world)

Amanda Grayson being needlessly killed off to further man pain.

We are honestly suppose to believe Wynona Kirk would go from George Kirk to what sounded like a piece of shit so that Kirk would have more pain thanks to his mother.

Gaila another example of showing how many notches are in Kirk’s JJ belt.

Kirk going from as quoted in TOS “a stack of book with legs” in his academy days to JJ’s “Typical drooling college student who doesn’t care about academics but just wants to sleep with every women on campus.” in his academy days.

Nero’s motivation being more man pain brought about the loss of his wife and kids.

As well as Uhura having to be involved with a man the movies obviously were a big “no-homo” message from JJ.

Addressing racism Into Darkness WHITE WASHED a man who’s name is KHAN NOONIEN SINGH who was described as NORTHERN-INDIAN and possibly SIKH a white-washing so bad that Benedict Cumberbatch didn’t know what character he was actually playing until pretty much the reveal scene, probably because Benedict would likely have not agreed to the role if he knew it was white-washing. (Also Into Darkness was a blatant Wrath of Khan rip-off where the rip-off was less than no-name quality to the brand name it’s suppose to represent). Yes the casting of Ricardo Montalban wasn’t nearly correct enough in the TOS days but at least he was a person of colour.

Sendhil Ramamurthy or Hrithik Roshan would have been perfect for the role IMO.

Please don’t make that post anything about Racism because it isn’t and Antisemitism because that’s even more incorrect. Call me out on my shit if it needs to be called out (I know as a white person I have plenty to work on and I do make an effort to work on it and acknowledge my privileges and biases) but make sure it’s the right shit.

I can absolutely imagine that all too well, the John on twitter thing, I'm still scarred by the time he did an ama on reddit >.< The only reason it didn't go worse than it did was that Finn/John fans turned out in force and "bullied" certain segments into behaving themselves or fuck off. Yes we were called bullies for telling people to stop harassing him or being racist, so what else is new.

its such a shame because john is so nice and im sure he’d love to interact with fans but people are such freaks. if they aren’t being out right racist then they’re using him as their “in” to get info on adam (and by extension daisy)

[discotreque]

According to the captions in three languages, Pike calls Number One for Noona. But you weren't far off. I mean, No. Una... pfffft.

The captions for Disco are usually shit, and this week’s were no exception: David Mack confirmed on Twitter that it’s “Una.”

I just saw your mirror!Hugh fanart (that's how I found you) and damn that's arguably a whole lot hotter than anything has a right to be. I love your mirrorverse stuff and I'm not on the whole much of a mirrorverse fan. But I'm glad that you're supplying some mirror!Hugh because part of me will be forever pissed that we never got to see him in canon.

Forgive me for answering both of these in one, but I thought it would be easier to keep them together. LOL. Thank you, that's very kind of you! I'm glad that you find him really hot can enjoy it, despite not being overly keen on the MU yourself. It was certainly a missed opportunity to never see Wilson Hugh in the MU uniform, as he would have looked hot as fuck amazing. Although, I do understand their reasoning and choice not to do it, and am content with that. But, y'know. Lol. It's funny... I spend a lot of time thinking about Stamets and Culber in the MU, and therefore the world itself... But I don't like it. It's a horrible place, full of horrible things - but it's interesting to see characters we know so well in such a different light. That and I'm a big fan of exploring change and growth of a persons self through experiences, and I think we're seeing a good amount of that now through canon (which is great.) So that's what I like writing and thinking about in terms of M!Culber, exploring what kind of mirrored reflection (ha) would he be of Prime Hugh. How are they the same? How are they different? What makes Hugh... Hugh - no matter where he manifests through the multiverse. It's also super, super fun to explore visually, of course! Anyway that's enough of me ranting, lmao, thank you for the kind words!!

Naomi is definitely one possibility, but it might also be Crystal Clarke. She played Pamich Nerro Goode in TFA and TLJ. If it is her it looks like JJ is just ignoring TLJ as much as possible because Pamich didn't originally survive Crait. Also that might mean we could be getting two (2) dark skinned Black women in IX in more than cameos, who aren't alien. I don't want to get my hopes too much up after TLJ, yet the reliable things we get from IX keeps looking promising.

Oooh maybe! If there were to be 2 black women thatd be awesome, but even just one (who doesnt die) would be so great. These leaks are interesting thats for sure
