The Captain and Her Commander

Blog mostly dedicated to J/C. I do sometimes post other things

Does anyone else feel weirdly maternal towards their instruments? Like my violin is my Actual Biological Child and I need to protect her from the cruelties of the world. Also she's adorable

I got left unsupervised with art supplies and made a gift tag for a family present from Santa

Nothing makes me angrier than the “Minimum wage jobs are intended for teenagers, of course adults can’t live off the wages, they should get real jobs.” bullshit. Not only are you pro child labor but you’re pro underpaying children for their labor? Also, there are so many teenagers out there working to survive and pay rent and support themselves and their families and these jobs are fucking brutal. Pay them what they deserve.

[thecaptainandhercommander]

This.

Sincerely, someone who worked a minimum wage job during 6th form.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

I was fortunate enough to visit Wētā during a road trip through New Zealand on a trip home to visit family between the filming of the first and second series. Due to spoilers (at the time) I wasn't allowed to photograph any of the sets.

These photos don't do them justice.

They were so fucking detailed. Every single one of them, and to honour the New Zealand film industry and Wētā a shit ton of kiwiana was shoehorned in (if you know what to look for its obvious) to scenes and character designs.

I love you, George Takei.

this is so not what i expected at all. it's like a cheesy 80s movie love scene soundtrack, but also...good.

[flightyquinn]

That's actually beautiful. I think we need to kitbash wind instruments more often.

My all-time favorite Star Trek character is Chakotay, and let me tell you, that has been a sad, lonely road for three decades. I've spent most of my life lamenting how much potential the character had and how badly Voyager wasted him.

Prodigy Season 2 has been released. And they fixed him, my friends.

For starters, Chakotay's heritage finally makes sense! He's now canonically a descendant of the Ometepe/Nicarao people, who, among other things, carved elaborate spiral petroglyphs onto rocks for spiritual and navigation reasons. And Chakotay admits to Dal that he lost his heritage as a teen, which might explain some of the inaccurate Voyager nonsense.

This masterpiece masquerading as a children's show really did more to flesh out Chakotay's personality in half of one season than Voyager did in its entire run. His convictions, strength of character, and incredible skill as a Starfleet officer are all on full display. We got to see the rage that led him to the Maquis, his despair when pushed to the brink for the greater good, and how regaining his sense of self after a horrific ordeal took real introspection and work. The writers also captured his tendency to slide into Dad Mode with his crew, his complete devotion to Kathryn (in every universe!), and his dry sense of humor. This Chakotay is competent and fun to watch. And yes, he's absurdly handsome and gloriously dashing. Those arms.

Robert Beltran acted the heck out of him. It might be his best turn as the character, actually. Just a masterful portrayal.

Thus, it felt right and EARNED that when all was said and done, this incredible man and captain got the chair of the Voyager-A.

And the girl.

(I know, I know. The shippers are going to spend years debating their deal. But my interpretation is that we got a beautifully realistic portrayal of a mature, established romantic relationship that didn't need to hit viewers over the head with what it was. As far as I'm concerned, J/C is canon.)

This Chakotay was worth the wait. And he exceeded all my expectations.

Prodigy is a love letter to Voyager masquerading as a children's show.

I cannot be the only one who struggles with this.

Happy tenth anniversary to this comic. I just learned that it’s still being shared constantly on Tumblr. I don’t totally understand why people like it so much, but I like it too.

The comments are full of people saying variations of "they look identical!" and people replying with variations of "I just don't see it." and I love it. 😂

I have googled my life away. I have read bible verses. I have studied the ohilosophical meaning behind the numbers. I have become a modern Gallup trying to ask people to help me figure this out. What the FUCK does it mean.
