When the Starfleet crew pokes the glowing alien artifact again, like it didn’t almost vaporize everyone last episode.

Also me, watching one of my kids absolutely press the giant red button right after I said “don’t touch that.”

Somewhere between Starfleet command and soft chaos parenting lies Picard’s eternal facepalm.

🖖✨ Sci-fi rule #47: if it glows, hums, or recites ancient prophecy—maybe just leave it alone.

My dad is so good at his job, he just automated his whole job using one bit of code. Guess what he called the file he saved it under? I want you to guess.

"JMJ.ERROR"

You would not believe how excited I was to see Tegan Jovanka in the new doctor who episode!!! 😆

I was named after Tegan! (Spelled a little different, but still!) My dad has been a huge Doctor Who fan since the 80's. I can't wait to watch the special again with him, he's gonna geek out!

Soooo....@rain-hat, @drivingsideways33 - remember back in one of your fics, you guys were discussing preppy older, bespectacled Jo Yeong living the married life? I’m afraid I forgot the preppy, sweater-vest part; I ended up copying the Jo Yeong screencap that @rain-hat recently reblogged. And uhm. He looks like someone’s dad. =___=;;; Which, iirc per the fic, IS TRUE?? But.

My sibs and I pitched in to get my dad a $200 gaming headset for Father's Day and the man instead plays his PC games so loudly they shake the house

My HC became canon in Ep 3 of S12 now I am super concerned because

Cyrus honey is that you being Paranoid or is that just geniune concern for your safety after the Overlord and Acronix and Krux got ahold of you

Because the way you Home Aloned the Tower seems a bit EXTREME especially with the Nindroid Army in the Basement

(Which btw that was my HC that Nerd Dad had the refurbished Nindroid army hidden in the Basement to be summoned now I can't stop laughing at how lucky Acronix and Krux really were in S7)

Paternally Optimistic

When I was a kid I never understood the whole "my dad could beat up your dad," rhetoric.

Like I can remember one time back in my early years of grade school when a big brawny kid walked up to me and literally said that to me. And I was so confused I was just like, "OK."

Because here's the thing. My dad is a skinny nerd with thick glasses and clothes that say, "social pressure is a totally alien concept to me," and "also there's a decent chance I might actually be an alien." He is one of the most generous and gentle individuals I know.

He is the kind of person who gets to know EVERYBODY. Every time I went into the office with him as a kid he would introduce me to EVERYONE by name.

Like he would introduce me to his boss and be like, "Hey Kim, this is my son David. He's the one who told me about those Power Zoid toys I thought your kids might like."

He would introduce me to the security guards. "Casey, this is my son David. Casey is the one who helped me set up my camera on the roof to get that panoramic shot of Portland that I've been giving out."

He would introduce me to the janitors. "Hey Luis, this is my son David. He's the one I was telling you about that's on the cross country team like your daughter."

To my father, the term "stranger" is always a temporary status. We used to call him "Chatty Daddy" because he can (and will) start a conversation with ANYONE. If we ever walked around in downtown Portland and he overheard a group of Japanese tourists, he would walk right up and start talking to them in Japanese and ask them if they needed directions or anything.

So I was just baffled as a kid by the whole "my dad could beat up your dad" thing because in my head I would think, "Yeah probably. But what does it say about YOUR dad if he would beat up somebody like my dad?"
