Got another one!

chakotay constantly getting kidnapped by people and instantly sympathizing with them is so funny. and it’s not like he has no moral backbone or anything either he’s literally just an empath

mylittleredgirl

at first you think it’s because of his strong moral center that he’s so committed to compassionately helping people even when they’re actively holding him hostage—after all, most of them present themselves as the underdog in their particular scenario or they are a literal child—but then you get to “year of hell” and he does the same thing! it’s just how he is. annorax has been wiping out whole societies for centuries to try and bring his wife back to life and tom paris is standing there like 😟 while chakotay’s like “i know he keeps committing genocide and that’s obviously bad but i think his heart’s in the right place.” those guys in “nemesis” who put him through that whole 3-day holographic propaganda experience did NOT need to work that hard.

you can draw such a clear line between chakotay in year of hell and in timeless, which is an nice little bit of character continuity. there’s just something about him that wants to seek out the lost causes and give them a second chance. i wonder if the reason he feels such a strong need to sympathize with those around him is because of the fact that he himself was part of a group branded terrorists by the federation, so he gets what it’s like for people to dismiss your wants and needs out of hand instead of trying to understand them

I'm not sure if this has been done already, but I thought I'd try my hand at it.

I translated the Ea-Nasir complaint into vulcan and engraved it in on a cooper plate

Not by any means an original thought but Kirk abandoning every person he's ever faintly loved or had feelings for for his career and his mission then repeatedly being like "it doesn't matter just fire me strip me of my command if I lose Spock I'll lose literally everything including my soul don't even worry about it" is immensely important to me

ohmygodnotyouagain

The reason Kirk is so accommodating of Spock pretending he doesn’t have emotions is because he is also pretending he doesn’t have emotions like fear or anger or lust and probably has wished taht he was a Vulcan so he could be a more perfect captain send post

This conflict ends with them coming to an agreement to put Jadzia in the brig for timeout for half an hour

This post is up to interpretation cause it fits both ways

Has someone done this before? And if not, why?

Can't believe that German dude 'Car Mark' or something wrote an entire book based on a Rom quote

Also look, this one's in color!!!!!

headcanon that a ferengi tradition is putting your new baby up for sale at a ridiculous price to show how valuable they are to you (everyone has to be polite and not actually buy them or hands will be thrown, people will be sued, etc etc)

I love the idea of Ferengi traditions that are both ha-ha capitalism but also create a functioning culture that’s more than a metaphor.

So, this is related to a headcanon I have. There's a kind of ritual sale of childhood goods as part of the Ferengi coming-of-age, which was featured in an episode of DS9. The ostensible purpose is to raise capital for the young Ferengi male. But, like, if the Ferengi were approaching this in their usual capitalistic mindset, you wouldn't really get much from what's basically a glorified garage sale

My headcanon is that it is the accepted practice to buy those goods at much higher prices than you would normally pay, serving as a culturally acceptable way of effectively giving financial support

Oh I love these, especially because of the spoken and unspoken meta-traditions around the tradition! Maybe they work similarly to the “speak now or forever hold your peace” thing in human marriage ceremonies. Everyone at a human wedding understands you’re not actually supposed to say anything at that point, it’s just a formality—but you see characters do it all the time in literature and entertainment, because it makes for such a juicy plot twist.

I bet “newborn gets purchased by evil jealous ex-business partner” is a classic plot hook in Ferengi soap operas. It’s their version of getting sold to One Direction.
