and shout out to you, queer person reading this. I love you

Shoutout to all my fellow ppl who see themselves as being simultaneously a boy and a girl. People who often wear clothes traditionally associated with their agab, or who don’t feel extreme dysphoria towards their body. People whose gender issues stem from within, and from knowing that they can’t just metamorphosise on a whim. People who’re a multiplicity in of themselves. People who’ve never known a life of gender singularity. People who’ve always been this way, people who’ve never known different. People who live exactly how they are, as confusing and conflicting as it may be sometimes. People whose friends and family would be beyond shocked and surprised if they told them they weren’t cis. People who love being this way. People who love having their own unique version of the masculine and feminine experiences, who use contradictory sets of pronouns. People who don’t really know if they can call themselves trans, but definitely aren’t cis, and altogether definitely don’t really care. People who are boys and girls and men and women and both and neither all at the same time. I love you. We’re the coolest. <3

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

Nobody warns you that after reading enough fics from Spock’s POV, you just start talking like that. Asked a guy if he was « amenable » to calling bro.

« I will endeavor to » BROOOOO

I think people truly struggle to comprehend multigender people because they can only treat people based off of how they treat someone based off of their gender. They cannot accept or allow or comprehend a woman who is also a man, the fact that they are men at all somehow cancels out their womanhood in these people's mind's, nd these people will be like no that's not true, but it is true, because they will ignore the "woman" aspect of a multigender person's identity and only focus on the "man" part, usually as a way to dismiss the person's experiences with misogyny, to deny that person the ability and right to identify as, what these people view as "woman-only" terms like the label of lesbian, and so on. They'll say things like "still a man" to dismiss the person and ignore them. In many ways, this itself is misogynistic. As if a woman's proximity to masculinity and/or manhood takes away from their womanhood.

The 1st time I watched all of tos Turnabout Intruder was my favorite episode. Despite the pretty intense sexism and crazy shatner acting, I just find the idea really compelling.

It’s just my Silly Little Space show

'Shore Leave' is crazy because it's like

the Enterprise crew goes to an island that brings their greatest dreams to life!

McCoy: I ran into Alice and Wonderland characters!

Sulu: I found a vintage gun I've wanted for years!

Kirk: I ran into a guy I knew in college and he beat me up and I beat him up until we were on top of each other rolling around in the dirt covered in blood with our shirts ripped off and I grinned and grinned and grinned with pleasure

McCoy: wait what

With the knowledge that Vulcan has regularly high winds & subsequent sandstorms I propose a type of guy: midwestern dads watching tornadoes but for Vulcans. Somebody's uncle Sovar standing outside with his hands on his hips watching a massive cloud roll closer. Unconcerned because this happens, like, every couple of weeks. He's like "this one is large, is it not" yes it is go back inside Sovar

ive made this post before but again why do northern state trans people talk like the government is fully just rounding up and executing transgenders on sight in the south

they’re in their own little corner 💙❤️

GP: "That is INSANE. That is insane."

Max: "YESSS!! LET'S GO!! WOOHOO! Woah, what- what a lap... YES GUYS!"

Horner: "what a lap Max, unbelievable!"

Max: "Hahaha!! Mate this.. Hehe, wow, ha.. I'm really happy."

Horner: "PURE CLASS MATE!"

huh weird.

Seriously, enough with the Spock/Chapel thing!! It was mentioned like once in TOS and was basically unrequited on Spock’s side, but here it’s reversed: Spock wants Chapel and she doesn’t want him. Also, why do we lean so heavily into Spock’s romantic life and not WHO HE IS AS A CHARACTER? In the process, it’s changing fundamental aspects of who he is. Spock is a human and a Vulcan, but SNW is just playing it like he’s a human with some Vulcan tendencies. It’s like the inverse of the AOS movies.

There was one SNW episode where they kinda address that he’s not acting like Spock (where he starts smiling), but it’s just dismissed so so fast as Spock « embracing who he really is, » like his Vulcan culture/identity is a prison. Not to play the autism card, but since Spock is a character many autistic people identify with, removing that relatability and then treating it like it’s better for him to be « normal » than to be himself is SO SO WRONG.

All this to say, I think SNW actually does a very good job with a lot of things. Even other ways they characterize Spock are very effective, especially his relationship with Uhura. But COME ONNNNN

Anyway positives from the trailer:

Silly costumes

Space adventures

Space adventures in silly costumes

Looks like a wide range of genres in episodes, which I think is great!

Possible Q continuum stuff???

Happy to see more Jim

Cons:

Please just stop with the Spock/Chapel romance I’m tired

Where is Sam >:(

I still have not forgiven the show for the Gorn

strange new worlds is so much fun for everyone except the hardcore spock girlies, which is kind of amusing to me

I am in fact going to be even more insufferable whenever this season drops. Guys I already have so many thoughts about the s3 trailer/teaser

omg i love the new snw trailer...

so many different genre breaking episodes

old timey costumes

lots of kirk!!

scotty! and maybe scotty/uhura??

first look at rhys darby??? i have even less idea of who he plays.

holodeck!!!

omg i cannot wait....

I'm gonna add since people misread.

No the point is not empathy in this post.

There is nothing wrong with different types of empathy levels, all are valid 🩷

What is the point tho, is that people decide what autism is, that we are all the same, what empathy is and automatically assume we either don't have it or must be a bad person if our empathy level is not the same or what they think it should be.

So please, don't speak badly of people with low empathy or whatever level. Cause I say it again.

I don't allow it, I don't condone it, and you are just as valid 🖤

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.

slipping through my fingers would def devastate McCoy but I think No More Birthdays would also have some effect on him

Vulcantology: Best Sources To Learn All Things Vulcan

Another lovely and sad song in MGV by T’Prion

So I was just starting out in my research Journey on the Vulcan (or Whl’q’n I have learned!) people and their world (T’Khasi is the name for the Vulcan homeworld and I honest have no idea why it’s translated by the UT into Fed Standard English, it’s definitely one of the less difficult Vulcan words to pronounce.)

But I’ve found EVEN MORE helpful links! Not just for learning Vulkansu but for Vulcans in general! I wouldn’t be surprised if there is eventually yet ANOTHER of these posts in the future (or really just make this one bigger). As it stands, this is my comprehensive guide to all things Vulcan! 💚🖖🏻💚

Major Websites

Surak (bordering on obsolete, but helpful for getting to other hyperlinks in case anything on this post goes funky)

Korsaya (Lots of info on how to write in Vulcan and other language writing questions)

Kir’Shara (This one might be my new favorite! It’s a fan lore site that stays true to canon lore as possible! It’s got the complete writings of Surak, cultural anecdotes and name lists! Much love!)

Where To Learn Vulkansu

Vulcan Language PDF (mostly for the lessons in the book’s latter half!)

The Vulcan Dictionary (a little clunky, but @yel-halansu has links to some more polished but still in-development sites on their RB of my original post.)

How to Write in Vulcan (ancient script, there are other fonts like “handwriting” and “Dzhaleyl” but AGV is the one with the letter breakdown)

The Vulcan Alphabet Song (a fan-song I made to remember the fundamentals of the Vulcan Alphabet, ghostwritten by Amanda Grayson, translation in the notes of the original post!)
