@mystery-lake , Hello!)

Oh, yes! Finally! I waited a YEAR to see the discount. There was no discount even on the "survival" sale

this is the price of two small buns in the store)

lol. Turns out she's not "survival." A punch in the face, oh well.

THOUGHTS OF Q

I feel very sorry for Q. I really do.

Despite all the omnipotent powers he possesses, including his incredible ability to manipulate Time and Space, he just struggles continuously to win Picard's heart and love,

-and all because of his antics, games, teasing, and his superior attitude towards Picard and other beings.

Knowing Q as well as we do, we know that one of Q's motivations and goals was not to bring harm to Picard, but to teach Picard crucial lessons about himself and existence in order to elevate him above other humans to eventually equal him as a Q.

"I believed in you! I thought you had potential!" (Q to Picard in All Good Things)

And the other motivation and goal he had was because he was so deeply in love with him, and he desperately wanted Picard to love him back.

But Q darling, you really didn't do yourself any favors in your quest to get Picard, did you?

I wish someone would've pulled Q aside in the beginning and explained to him that Picard can't just switch off memories of things that Q had done, including allowing eighteen members of Picard's crew to be killed by the Borg, judging Picard and his crew in the Post-Atomic Horror courtroom for crimes of Humanity, and all the other crazy stuff, and just expect this human to fall passionately into his arms and surrender himself to him.

Q really hurt his chances with Picard from the very beginning.

Furthermore, Picard is extremely stubborn in his view of enemies. It takes a serious and consistent show of effort to convince Picard to at least entertain the notion of a better alliance between The Federation and an enemy.

It's strange how he leaves an occasional door cracked open for the Romulans or Cardassians (Maybe there will be peace between our cultures--that sort of thing 🙄)

But, Q? Not so easy.

I think the only other "enemy" Picard is most resistant to is The Borg.

Boy, is that sad.

Picard does relax a few times for Q here and there in some episodes, including Deja Q ("Perhaps there's a residue of humanity in Q after all"), Q-pid, Tapestry, and All Good Things. As I've said before and as we've seen, Picard doesn't put up much resistance against Q when Q is trying to come on hard to him.

But, Q really made things difficult for himself in his pining after Picard from the get-go.

Q was really a very lonely entity, and from the way he was described by other Qs, he was always in trouble, and being reprimanded and cast out.

I think he was, to a degree, on probation, perhaps, being given assignments like in True Q and in All Good Things.

I'm so glad Q confessed his feelings for Picard in the end in Star Trek Picard, though.

Picard knew about Q's desire and love for him much earlier than ST:PIC . He knew.

But, how could such an upstanding paragon of virtue and duty like Jean-Luc Picard EVER love someone like Q?

Every time I watch Michael the angrier I get on his behalf. Atlantis did him wrong and they’re surprised it comes back to bite them in the arse. 

Is this a guilty look Carson? Should damn well think so too.

@yourbuerokrat2

I am actually quite serious but if your reaction is not what I was hoping for I am going to pretend I was joking haha

Rus:

я на самом деле вполне серьезен, но если твоя реакция не такая, как я ожидал, я притворюсь, что пошутил, ха-ха

Same energy / Литерали

Вы тоже смотрите фильмы с Джо, представляя, что это AU Шепарды? Do you also watch movies with Joe, imagining that they are AU Shepards?

Он выглядит как молоденький холёный AU Шеппард, если бы он не летал, а пошёл бы по стопам отца или просто родился в хорошей семье с серебряной ложкой в жопе

И теперь он пытается завести хорошие знакомства в обычными людьми, которые звёзд с неба не хватают и постоянно терпит поражение))

ENG: He looks like a young, sleek AU Sheppard, if he hadn't flown, but would have followed in his father's footsteps or simply been born into a well-to-do family. And now he's trying to make good friends with ordinary people, and he's constantly losing))
