"He fought the ridiculous urge to kiss the vulcan or kill him" kiss kiss kisss
Just kiss him, motherfucker. It's what you want!
Bonus: McCoy being grabbed by tentacles (again):
And then Spock makes him eat the tentacle...
I'm sure you saw him eating more moving things, Spock. I'm sure you did...
From "Demons" by J.M.Dillard
star trek has always handled trauma/mental illness well imo but sisko explaining to the prophets in the first episode that humans live in linear time and can't ever go back... and then the prophets are so confused and show him his wife dying and ask "but you exist here?" that was. that one.... hit
I agree with this especially the shen jiu one. Don't get me wrong what shen jiu went through is horrifying! (And sometimes I feel like the fandom really doesn't take the stuff he went through srsly but that's a story for another day) but we have to remember that traumatic past DOES NOT EQUAL a justification to abuse!! Like what binghe went through was traumatising I feel like people forget that the tea incident was not the worst thing shen jiu put him through, by the time shen Yuan had transmigrated this child had been whipped, forced to kneel infront of the gates for who knows how long, bullied physically and verbally by this peers, Shen Jius past is an explanation to his behaviour. Not an excuse. I repeat.
(Actually I feel like this isn't just a svsss fan issue but a mxtx one in general Jc fans also have this mentality of "Oh he had a sad backstory! That's why he did all that he did!")
can we get 7, scum villain for the ask game pretty please?
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
I can't lie, Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu.
Now before you crucify me and say "oh but you like LQG and he's an ass" HEAR ME OUT🤚
I feel like the "everyone loves shen yuan he can do no wrong" is a little annoying and SOME of the fanfics I've read or the art I've seen have just reduced him to a damsel in distress or babyified him and I am mad because his canon self is so funny (exhibit A, how he acts in the donghua)
also he's kinda annoying in those fics too and mfs tend to over feminized him when that is a fully able bodied grown man with a job (several of my blood vessels explode violently when someone calls shen jiu mamajiu cause brother eughhh)
as for Shen Jiu, I just think the glaze for him is insane and I cannot get over the fact that this guy is a voluntary abuser to basically an innocent child and his fans (SOME FANS BTW SOME FANS THE NORMAL ONES R FINE) are like "he did no wrong!" "He's just a diva!" "that's just a skill issue on lbh's part" just cause his backstory is tragic, some even outright excusing it cause he technically suffered more like erm💀 (i also know this is old discourse within the community but this is my opinion, you asked so you will hear what I say)
The thing is about these characterizations with the Shens is was that it funny at first but now I find it so annoying and SJ's characterization into some tsundere bottom made me cry real manly tears
My main point: I liked SQQ first, he was my fave when I was first dabbling into the fandom, but then I made the mistake of picking up fanfiction and now either feel indifferent to them or outright annoyed when they show up AND IT'S SO SAD BECAUSE THEY'RE GENUINELY SUPER INTRESTING CHARACTERS UGH
Long post of my star trekXmdzs au cause its Been a while:
-For one it would take place on a station. Why? Cause ds9 has taken over my brain :
-Wwx is a trill and the 1st officer: Both his parents passed away when he was a child resulting in him being taken in by a human family (the jiangs) and as he got older he grew the ambition to gain a symboite (As his mother and father) I feel like he'd probably have a huge culture clash because of living on earth and being so highly influenced by its culture and this causes.. complications for him during his training.
-Lwj (Okay so I keep flip flopping between vulcan!wangji and human!wangji because both seem to fit him so I've decided on half!human, half!vulcan wangji) he's the science officer of the station and hasn't spoken to his family in 7 years cause baggage! Who doesn't love emotional baggage?
Wangxian: They Met briefly during their years at starfleet academy though other than the academic rival thing they had going on there friendship never went deeper than that, ofc fate had it out with them so immediately after graduating they found themselves as bunk buddies on their first assignment, and their next assignment… and their next… (they were both promoted at the same time. Everytime.) I think their romantic feelings would start blooming somewhere between the time period before the station, though it only got srs during their time on the station.
Song lan is a human and also the commander: He was married to a ship captian (xiao xingchen (who was a trill) xiao xingchen passed during the war between the dominion (though some say his first officer had a hand in his death) he's pretty lonely but, he starts to open up once he meets wwx especially considering wwx happens to be related to his husband.
Jiang Yanli, Human and station counselor: She once had a very close bond with wwx (despite her toxic mothers involvement) but, after wwx got a symboite to her he completely changed, In Addition, They barely interacted for a while because of their jobs, though their time on the station reconnects them.
(Also jfm divorces yzy sometime when jyl is on duty, this is unrelated, but a big W for jyl)
Jin zixuan, Half ferengi and half human, and the chief of engineering: Not much too him but, his dad is horrible so.
Xuanli: Tbh I'd imagine in this au they wouldn't be endgame , Jl is still born but its by alien interference, they're besties tho dw it's fine.
Wen Qing, A bojarian, and the Cmo: Was never a fighter during the resistance mostly a healer, after the resistance she took an oath never to harm anyone unless needed , highly popular in starfleet medical, and famous on bajor.
Wen Ning, also bajoran, he's a nurse!: his backstory is pretty similar to Wen qing though id imagine he worked more in the physical field than the medical field during the resistance, still besties with wwx.
Nie Huaisang! An andorian, owns an art shop: he has a starfleet degree, He just really doesn't care about it, his brother is still salty about it.
Edit:
I forgot to mention, but the head of security is mianmian: shes a betazoid
Rip Adrien Agreste, you would've loved Ezri Dax💔
We respect Ro Laren in this household
(Absolutely ANCIENT edit I made like a year ago)
#repostober day 31
Happy Halloween! Have some last star trek gays for the month
Thank you to everyone who's reshared my work this month, it's been really lovely seeing some of my old work getting some love <3
New Trek writers: we're bringing back the Torment Nexus from the fan favorite classic Trek episode "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" in a new movie called "The Torment Nexus is Totally Awesome" starring Michelle Yeoh.
OH GODDDD why would you hurt me like this😭😭😭 keep epic away from mdzs fans!
Lwj totally learned how to draw throughout the 13 years just so he could preserve the true image of wwx :)
(Also ahhh I love this freckled wwx my love)
A smile most cherished
~They/them~, In many fandoms, I like art/writing sometimes i edit, certified lwj/wwx defender they did nothing wrong.
