So a round from my brain cause I love music, are there any songs that instantly remind you of your OCs?
Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?
Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?
Brain round!!! :D 🍹 🍸
So a round from my brain cause I love music, are there any songs that instantly remind you of your OCs?
Yes!!!!! I've wanted to do one of those "one song per oc" type deals but I don't have one for everyone yet (and it doesn't feel right to do one without everyone named), so this is the perfect excuse to share what I do have! XD
Ceicive: Broken Machine (Nothing but thieves) and Love Like You (from Steven Universe)
Ceicive and Wilvous together: Fallin' For You (Colbie Caillat) early on, and Still The One (Orleans) later down the line <3
Toka: Pay Me My Money Down (Bruce Springsteen)
Captain Vasilios gets two: World (5 for Fighting) and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan) (feels kinda weird to give her that given as she's very much neither, but I really like the poetic aspects of the lyrics)
D'Hrava and T'Pril together: Isn’t It Love? (from the Steven Universe movie), We are in Love (Shannon Hurley), and The Warrior (Patty Smyth)
Kirev and the Denobulan Bartender lady get Brandy (Looking Glass) because that was kind of their inspiration a little bit tbh XD (theirs is definitely healthier given communication and species cultures, but still worth a mention XD)
Aerelai gives me such strong Sam Smith song vibes in general, I think most especially I'm Not Here to Make Friends and Diamonds, and I'd also have to say Escapism (Raye)
R'aahs gets two: Run Boy, Run (Woodkid) and Runaway (AURORA)
Bloodline by Jellyroll fits for R'aahs and Wilvous both honestly
Vorta OC: My Back Pages
and for V'eiss and the Bad Luck Vulcan: Silly Love Songs (Paul McCartney) You Are the Best Thing (Ray LaMontagne)
Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?
Omg Aerelai would absolutely love musicals (and sometimes make it everyone's problem that they do). I could see them really liking the energy and outfits of Chicago! I've got to think doctor D'Hrava would like some too, maybe Les Misérables for its discussions of honor, bravery, tragedy, and rebellion.
Wilvous likes the stage production and how the music can convey narrative, but I don't know that he'd have one true favorite. He'd probably like debating the meaning of certain musical scores and costume/set choices and their impact on the piece as well.
The Bad Luck Vulcan finds Little Shop of Horrors more fascinating than he'd maybe care to admit outright.
Lukoroh would like them too for reasons I'll talk about in just a minute.
Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?
Yes I think they do! It's time for SPECULATIVE WORLDBUILDING! (aka shit I just made up!)
The Calico Pilot maybe has a soft spot for call and response type songs because it's something he would do with her siblings growing up when they were out walking or when they were doing chores/helping in the shop.
The Lion Therapist would like deeper Didgeridoo type instrument
Lukoroh: Ok so I think he'd like stuff like musicals, ballads, operas, anything that tells a story! He'd have to relisten sooooo many times just to get a little of the narrative, but I don't think that bothers him, it's sort of how he feels about art!
V'eiss: I think he'd like more traditional Vulcan lyre music, it's something his adoptive father played a lot, and his grandmother would sometimes too. I don't think of him as ever really having learnt but a handful of melodies he could play sort of ok-ish himself, but he deeply respects the art form as a whole and thinks it's very beautiful.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds + T'Pril's roasting vs Pike's praising of Spock
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: s02e05 - Charades Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: s01e05 - Spock Amok
STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - OCTOBER 31, 2025 - T'PRING PHOTOS
Charades -- Do-Over
I was unsatisfied by Charades.
Like, I get it, we're getting a download about why T'Pring declared kal-if-fee instead of breaking up with Spock in some normal way. Also, I loved the consummately hateable character of T'Pril.
But if SNW's Spock was anything like TOS Spock, cultural realities adjusted, it could have gone down like this.
--
Spock: T'Pring, I must speak with you in private.
T'Pring: Very well.
Spock: (after pacing and fidgeting behind closed doors for a solid thirty seconds) T'Pring... I have had... an accident.
And then he pulls off his ears.
T'Pring: You have had an accident that has turned you into a human.
Spock: Yes. We're not certain how, either. It has something to do with energy beings living inside a spatial anomoly.
T'Pring: I have decided that I dislike space.
Spock: Understandable. Also, I am going through human puberty right now. (points at the floor for emphasis) This has led to an uncomfortable revelation.
T'Pring: Specifically?
Spock: You are a beautiful woman. Yet, despite my loss of ability to suppress emotions, I am unmoved by this fact. As a Vulcan, this could indicate success in my meditative practice. As a human, it indicates something about my sexual orientation.
T'Pring: (after thinking for a moment) I suppose it is superior for you to have had this revelation before our marriage.
Spock: Indeed. And, relatedly, I have had an idea. It involves going through with the v'shal dinner, and continuing to wear these fake ears.
---- SOON ---
Pike: Spock, is this really necessary?
Spock: You do not understand. T'Pril is a bigot, a xenophobe, and a bully.
Pike: What do you want me to do?
Spock: Exactly what you would do if I had not become human, and intended to go through with my marriage to T'Pring.
--- one v'shal dinner later --
T'Pril: No human could do what you have done.
Spock: You are incorrect. My mother completed the v'shal. Also. (he pulls off his fake ears) Owing to an accident, I am temporarily fully human. But then, it is well known that Surakian practice exists to rid us of racially based hatred, such as you display, because it is demonstrably illogical.
T'Pril: Mind your tone, or I will call this wedding off.
T'Pring: Spock is gay.
Traditional (Sacred) Charades...
I love it how in "Sacred Charades" words also have "sacred syllables" and that "ear" is a sacred Vulcan word. So many layers of hilarity...
I need someone to make a comparison GIF set of Spock and the Vulcan Science Academy in AOS 2009 and then Spock and T'Pril from episode 2x05 "Charades" from Strange New Worlds when she tells him she's surprised by how far he's come given his "handicap".
Somebody, please.
