Star Trek Nonsense

and Ben Wyatt appreciation. J, she/her, 22 Mostly TNG w/ some TOS+DS9

[trekkingamongststars]

Hey everybody! Just wanted to say hi, as I’ve been mostly MIA for probably close to a year now. I’m a lot busier and not nearly as active as I used to be, and that’s probably not going to change. The blog isn’t going anywhere though! And I love to come back and reblog some neat artwork and check out what’s going on when I have a minute.

Normally I wouldn’t make a post like this lol, I know people phase in and out of fandom spaces all the time, but I recently wrote a paper for a class on Data and how his character arc plays into concepts of evolution, and I wanted to share it with you all! And it’s just so different from my normal stuff that I thought it’d be a good time to check in. Star Trek has been such a cool piece of media for me to explore as a fan and I’m nowhere close to done, in fandom spaces or academically!

Anyway thanks for being awesome, and stay tuned for a quick snippet of my paper!🖖

I had a powerful urge come upon me and I was helpless against it.

I'll admit that mincing mockingbird was a powerful influence on buckykingofmemes so this is...appropriate.

Vulcan AITA but it's Am I Being Illogical

AIBI for choosing my husband's human boss as my champion?

My (29F) husband (29M) is from a well-known and eccentric family, and has only made himself more notorious with an unconventional career and an unnecessarily emotional falling-out with his father. The aforementioned unconventional career keeps him away from Vulcan. In his absence, I have found a mate I prefer.

At koon-ut-kal-if-fee, I had planned to choose kal-if-fee and make my preferred mate my champion. However, my husband unexpectedly arrived with humans, one of whom is his superior, apparently a friend, and appears physically fit. Setting aside the impropriety of bringing outsiders to koon-ut-kal-if-fee, this human seemed more interested in my husband's family connections than any prurient interest in the pon farr itself. I realized that I could choose him as my champion instead, and not risk my preferred mate's life. If the human wins, he will be very unlikely to wish for a Vulcan bride, and would release me; if my husband wins, he may also release me for challenging, and even if he does not, he will still be as absent as before, and I will have my chosen mate at my si

Update: Please excuse the abrupt cutoff. My ex-husband just killed his human superior, and has indeed released me and returned to his post, I believe to seek formal disciplinary action.

Somehow, Majel and Gene on an endless trek through space seems more fitting anyway.

there’s no shame in admitting that none of us have any concept of how big a whale is

[thisrobotbeatcaptcha]

Feel like it’s one of those things that’s bigger than a horse but smaller than the moon

[marlinspirkhall]

Oh, I can actually help with this! Whales aren’t real, they made them up for Star Trek.

I adore Star Trek for writing so many holodeck malfunction episodes. I admire how often they just brazenly create plots where the crew simply has no choice but to dress up in full cosplay and larp their favorite public domain characters, lest they all die.
