The Good, the Bad, and the Q

She’d just wanted some time to relax in the holodeck, was that too much to ask? Althea had to wait a few moments for her eyes to adjust to the light she hadn’t expected to be there, blinking rapidly until a dry, brown town came into view. Some sort of Western program she guessed, and while it wasn’t exactly her favorite genre, she could tell someone put a lot of effort into it. “Still, who the hell left a program running?” She muttered to herself, glancing around a final time before raising her voice slightly. “Computer, end program.” Nothing. Immediately she frowned and tried again, receiving silence once more in response. Great. She sighed and turned around, deciding to find an access panel so that she could shut the program off manually. Maintenance was definitely NOT how she wanted to spend her off time, but someone had to do it, and at least she had the skills to. Best to leave the people actually on duty to deal with more serious problems.

This is how I keep imagining him in this scene. It’s not the way I’ve written it–but it’s the mental image that’s stuck. :/

Enjoy your nightmares!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Q is exactly this kind of extra bitch. I’m never going to get this image out of my head. Thanks so much.

Closed for @ofthecontinuum​ Muse(s): Ed Mercer, Kelly Grayson, more case-by-case Guest starring: Case-by-case

“...look, whatever is going on right now,” Ed is addressing the guy who had just appeared on his bridge, rubbing his forehead slightly, “Can I just say ‘no’ and be on my way?”

Addi looks over and their eyes widen before they turn back to their station and pretend to be far more invested in looking for subspace transmissions because they don’t need nor want to go into this one, nope, no way, not a chance, they are content to just be another nameless crewman in this one.

🤝 Q!

texts the other memes at 3 am: Q for sure. Data would spend way too long trying to figure out what these ethereal, complicated memes mean when they’re really just shit posts.

tries to convince the other to do an idea that definitely sounds questionable: Q again! He’d try to get Data to like...blow up a planet or turn everyone into pineapples for fun or something.  

is the designated driver and who always gets wasted: I would say Data is the designated driver, but I love the image of Q panicking trying to get a drunken Data into the car while he drunkenly sings HMS Pinafore and touches everything. Like when Baymax runs out of battery.

always has to host the impromptu sleepover: Data would be the best host. He’d look up all the protocol on the best sleepover activities and teach them all to Q. “This is a ‘pillow fight’. It is fun.” 

who’s netflix account gets mooched off of: Data, but he’d give his password willingly to anyone.

brings all the snacks and who supplies the movie: Q would bring a ton of random snacks from all over the multiverse that he swears are amazing or whatever. Or maybe not. Maybe he’d insist snacks were an unnecessary vice. If only @ofthecontinuum were here to tell me what he would say... Data would choose some historical documentary that is like three hours long and he would pause it every few minutes to elaborate on the information in the film. 

is usually the first one to say sorry after a fight: Data absolutely. If he felt there was something to apologize for, he’d do it right away. 

is the ‘ mom friend ‘: I suppose Data because I’m thinking of the time Q was human and Data attempted to explain protocol and reeled him in when he was embarrassing himself and stuff.

calls the other at 12 am to wish the other a happy birthday without fail: Even if the Q were ‘eternal’ and didn’t have ‘birthdays’. He’d make one up for him because the birthday celebration is an important experience.

is the better wingman to the other: I can totally see Q and Data at a bar and Q trying to coach him on picking up a date and then executing some ridiculous, world-breaking plan.

‘ the strong must protect the sweet ‘ , who’s the ‘ strong ‘ and who’s the ‘ sweet ‘: This literally sounds like something Q would say to Data in some patronizing manner so...

pulls the other up for karaoke to sing a duet together: They...both strike me as karaoke fans. Don’t Go Breakin My Heart for sure.

//guess who just came across this and is really emotional now. Seriously, I keep bouncing between Voyager and DBH and the whiplash is messing with my brain but I need both.

Here, ma chérie. I even had it framed for you! -ofthecontinuum

Coming from you, I guess I appreciate the restraint.
