I'm super tired and basically spending NYE on the couch with snacks, but Rick would probably be slutting it up in some intergalactic night club right now.
Look I just think that if you’ve ever loved Star Trek, Like really loved it (not just had a passing interest or casually consumed it) then it’s gonna be a part of you forever. It injects a little whimsy in you. A little thoughtfulness and curiosity and wonder. I’ll watch Star Trek and every time I do I feel like a little kid staring up at the stars holding onto the grass. I’ll watch Star Trek and every time I’m sitting out sharing a sweater with my friend as we talk about Spock and the sun starts to set. I’ll watch Star Trek and it’s the same feeling of calm awe that I get when I sit in the aquarium.
Aliens aside it’s about humanity. It’s always about humanity and trying to understand despite it all (which I think is a core tenet of humanity). And if that compels you then it’s going to stay with you. No matter if the packaging is a bit silly. Maybe even because the packaging is silly.
Also once you love Spock I don’t think you can stop
Rom has an honest-to-goodness stutter. He stammers and sometimes has trouble expressing himself.
Before Deep Space 9, I had never seen that on any screen without it being a joke. Or a couple times as a character that appeared for less than 2 minutes.
HOWEVER, on DS9, not only does Rom have a decent-sized part, but:
- he's portrayed as a loving and supportive father, son, brother, and husband
- he LEADS his co-workers in forming a union
- he leaves a toxic workplace for an equally menial but safer job, and does it with dignity, and then earns promotions
- he invents new technology, and comes up with it almost as a side thought while planning his wedding, showing the genius that he's usually not recognized for
- and ultimately, he's chosen as the next ruler of an entire planet
I still don't see anything equivalent to that now, in the 2020s. And DS9 was made thirty years ago.
If movie and television producers are so keen on reviving things from the past for the sake of nostalgia, how about looking at Star Trek for ideas on not only increasing diversity and inclusion, but normalizing and celebrating them?
Me starting a new anime: My Hero Academia? Hmm. Ok I'll try it out.

I’m loving the idea of Plo and Ahsoka adventures!
Well, ok - maybe this is not so much an adventure. I often wonder when was the first time Ahsoka saw Plo maskless? How did she react? This is the result.
P.S. - I am a card-carrying member of the “Plo Has Opposable Thumbs on His Feet” club. Out president is HellYeahPancakes. I will tag you!
(Hey Artists - Have you ever sat on a piece of Art so long you’ve lost all faith in it? Gone back to change stuff so much that the original presentation gets buried? I feel ya.
This still has some stuff I want to change but it’s presentable. Hope you enjoy it.)
i really got to hand it to rené auberjonois because this man would be in a room, pounds of prosthetic on his face, the only other character being a vial of orange jelly, and manage to convince me that he is a guy experiencing something like fatherhood for the first time with said vial of goo and fully convincing me of it’s sentience. like i was watching that episode and genuinely stopped to remind myself that the goo wasn’t another actor, it was literally just him

GUYS OH MY GOD
The hands 😖
new meme format just dropped
Unmute !
my contribution to the @startrekswimsuitspecial :)
go check out the whole zine, there's some great art in there!!
Some interesting details of how Odo mimics voices and the practice it takes to do so.
I never put any thought behind Odo's capacity to mimic sounds. But changelings do it often, and in S4 E08 Little Green Men, Odo barks as the German shepherd, or at least I think he does.
This is both terrifying and hilarious. Imagine:
You pick up a tricorder and it makes all the same sounds and effects as any other, but then a hand shoots out of the readout display and pokes your eyes three stooges style.
Odo sitting quietly in a room full of Cardassians. He opens his mouth and releases the loudest fog horn sound ever heard, instantly killing everyone.
Amazing stuff.
THE CLONE WARS APPRECIATION WEEK Day One/Favorite Character ♡ Plo Koon

another doodle page to celebrate the fact i finished watching ds9 for the first time i love star trek so much, its so stupidly silly
Saw it on Twitter maybe a week ago and still can’t stop thinking about it
I know this definitely won’t happen but now it will be much more interesting for my pervert mind to watch the new season and think that Aziraphale is pregnant during the whole plot
@snakehoos thank you✨
The Winchesters are racing along the glowing river of grace, to help their hurting friend Castiel, the giant Angel.

Sometimes remembering that Abe Sapien exists is enough to keep me going. Like swooning over here.
