recently read the time magazine special edition āStar Trek: inside the most influential science fiction series everā a good portion of it is stuff a lot of fans probably already know, but there was some info in there that was still new to me, and lots of gorgeous photos that were amazing to see in print, too, so still definitely an enjoyable read! (apart from a couple instances of weirdly superiority, bro-esque writing, but that only occurred in one of the articles, thankfully)
one thing I really enjoyed about the visual aspect of the magazine though was some of the costuming visuals! For example, these crisp shots show not only the tailoring and seams but literally the construction and stitching on the TMP era uniforms šš (check out the stitching on the sleeve ranks in particular!!!)
next up, some extremely cool science things I didnāt know about and love that they exist:
this shot is excellent both for De fans (me) and also for seamstresses and costumers (also me!) because of that excellent, and rare, shot of the back of a TOS womenās uniform with seams and construction visibleā¦ positively a seamstress dream!! such a good garment structuring reference šš»
also, an up close on one of Quarkās outfits that shows definitively that this outerwear jacket is, in fact, rainbowy tweed!!, a fashion statement I vote we bring back:
(it reminds me of this couch and blanket from my childhood, it was extremely 1970s and I loved it)
this little Kirk & Spock character comparison panel appeared next to an excerpt of Shatnerās writing, and to me it would fit in perfectly with those āwhoās dating whoā activity panels etc in magazines like seventeen, which, excellent execution, thatās such a good vibe to have considering The Premise šš»
speaking ofā I wish theyād mentioned slash fic, The Premise, early fanfic mail chains etc waaay more than they did (and for that matter, highlight way more just how important and vital the women Trekkies were!) but hey, at least they mentioned Spirk shippers, along with other parts of the magazine mentioning queer and nonbinary+trans rep in trek. couldāve/shouldāve been more, butā
anyways! Itās still a fun magazine to read through and has lots of fun images even if youāre already familiar with the stories. (did you know there used to be an Enterprise shaped landline phone you could buy? I didnāt, and now I very much want one lol) it also highly benefits from having article writers of multiple genders, so thereās that, too. šš»

What are your favorite South Park headcanons? šš»
It took me ten million years to respond to this because I don't really have SP headcannons (besides my AU fics) so I had to make a list!
ALSO THANK YOU FOR ASKING, I LOVE GETTING ASKS!!!!
Kyle
i'm an average-height kyle truther. he's no shorter than 5'9" but no taller than 5'11".
horror movie fanatic but probably threw up while watching midsommar (and never finished it).
^ also a giant Scream fan. owns so much ghostface merch.
probably chubby.
straight as a board. he is so heteronormative, it's not even funny.
favorite bands are Bloodhound Gang and Insane Clown Posse but his guilty pleasure is Conan Gray (and cartman makes fun of him for it)
insomniac. bro CANNOT sleep ā¼ļø
Kenny
tall kenny is the only valid take for me. he is 6'2" for sure and he uses his height to be intimidating when he wants to be.
when he's older, he moves to Italy with Cartman (don't ask how either of them afford it, just go with it)
he for sure writes fics about himself on a burner account.
is really good at school without having to study. naturally quick to learn.
is straight but will do anything for money (hey, $20 is $20!)
can talk to the dead and/or supernatural. can tell when ghosts are around.
COVERED in scars
Stan
short and skinny. i'm talking 5'6".
idkw but i imagine him being mexican, or at least partially mexican.
chronically depressed (and probably has OCD) but not an alcoholic or substance user.
hates weed because he grew up on a weed farm.
you cannot convince me that he doesn't watch Family Guy.
will sleep anywhere in any position.
closeted bisexual.
Cartman
is really good at playing instruments, becomes a famous lead singer in a pop band
is actually really intelligent but refuses to apply himself in school.
sent to boarding school, came back unrecognizable
football player, probably a quarterback
i really like the intersex cartman theory
doesn't believe in evolution or science
probably has a lot of trauma
Other characters:
Butters is blind in one eye from the Weapons episode
Butters is also extremely Type A as he grows up
Wendy, Heidi, Nicole, and Bebe don't have social media for feminist reasons
Jimmy can rap better than Eminem
Tweek loves true crime but is scared of FNaF
the only person who loves b@relyhuman more than Tweek is Craig

Hey! Could you write a platonic!reader x pike where the reader has a stutter/speech impediment where the reader is trying to explain something but they get very upset and start crying and pike tryās to comfort them?
Oh I GOT you homie. I had a bit of a lisp growing up and and hyperplexia (Iād make up words and use references, assuming others would instantly understand). I have family and friends with speech disorders and impediments that Iāve known over the years. Strange New Worlds has a plethora of disabled characters, and I look forward to dispensing that truth through Pike. No one is alone. šššš»
Choice of Words (Platonic Pike x Reader)
Rating: E for Everyone
Word Count: 846
Content: SFW/Platonic, GN!Reader, Sciences!Reader, Cadet!Reader, Disabled!Reader, Dad Mode!Pike (affectionate), panic attacks, tears, disability solidarity. And! An accommodation option I wish existed whenever I'm in non-verbal mode but want people to be able to hear me and not just read my words when I have to write or type instead. Because this is Star Trek darn it! In an ideal equitable world they'll have really snazzy useful stuff like that!
Teaser: It was time for your final scientific presentation assessment, one of the last legs of your cadet cruise, in front of the entire senior staff. Your stammer always got so much worse when you were nervous or upset, the solution was simple, don't get nervous or upset! Easier said than done, not even easier said, if you were being honest.
āInfinites-tes-tes-sim-simal-al chan-ances of of ofā¦ā
āIām so sorry Cadet, could you repeat that?ā Number One asked politely.
āInfini-ini-ni-ni-t-t-tes-es-es-es-si-ma UGH! God damnit-it-it-it-it!ā You slammed the data pad down, turning off the presentation.Ā
Commander Una flinched and grimaced, glancing at the rest of the senior staff. Spock did that anxiety inducing, unreadable head tilt lean back combo he always does. Laāan leaned forward, hands clasped, and looked back at Una. Everyone looked at Captain Pike. You couldnāt take this, could somebody please say something?!Ā
You clenched your jaw to keep the stammer from continuing. Tears welling in your eyes. You had to get out of there, the doors whisked open as you stormed away.
You thought you could do this, and you couldnāt, it was humiliating. You let the tears come. You slide down against the wall in misery, not caring who saw. Chances were you werenāt gonna see any of these people again.
You were gonna fail your assessment because of a stupid speech impediment, your worst nightmare was coming true.
The captain exited the conference room, looking for you. Youād expected it to be Lieutenant Spock, he was the head of your department after all. You must have screwed up worse than you thought if your bossās boss was coming for you.
Maybe he wouldnāt see you if you could stifle it, but a sob escaped anyway, so much for that idea. He looked down at you, concern knitting his brow.
āOh, hey there Cadet. Mind if I cop a squat next to you?ā he asked.
āI I I I I-ā it always got so much worse when you were upset.
āItās alright, take your time.ā Pike added calmly, kindly.
āI I guess-ess so-o-o, sure-ure-ure-ure.ā
He crouched down next to you after that, just, sat there next to you as you slowly got a hold of yourself. Indicating silently to a couple of officers in the hallway whoād slowed to move it along. When one hesitated, he raised a dismissive hand as if to say āIāve got this.ā
After the sobs mostly died off, the Captain shifted a bit, took a deep breath, and started to speak.
āYāknow, when I was a kid, I had asthma. I couldnāt run as fast or play as hard as the other kids without my lungs seizing up, not without help anyway. Kids can be cruel, I canāt pretend it didnāt make me feel insecure. I may not have asthma anymore, but I'm not the only one in that room who can speak to what youāre going through.ā
āWha-at do you do you-ou mea-an?ā
āIāve got an officer in there, who was expected to grow out of their learning disability, and didnāt. Iāve got an officer in there, who didnāt realize they were hurting until they had friends to encourage them to get help. I knowā¦ someone in that room whoās able to speak like you and I do now, who wonāt be able to in the future. I- heāll need help to communicate for the rest of his life. I had a remarkable officer, who was considered disabled just because our world isnāt built for him. I know he never saw himself that way.ā
āI me-et Chi-ief Chief Hem- Hemmer. Who are-are-are the other one-ones?ā
āIāll let them tell you when and if theyāre comfortable. What Iām trying to say is, donāt let what youāre struggling with define you Y/N. Your impediment isnāt going to stop you from thriving as an officer. Heck, it may even make you a more insightful one. Your superior officers didnāt become superior officers by getting rid of whatever makes them different, they did it by learning to live with it, by embracing it.ā
āYeah-ah?ā
āYeah! So, whatāre you thinkinā? Are you ready to get back in there? You can do whatever you need to do to get this done. Youāll get no judgment from me. No oneās gonna punish you for accommodating yourself, itās not cheating.ā
āOkay, okay, yeah-ah, Iāve-veā¦ Iāve got thi-is. I I, I got a a plan-an.ā
āThatās the spirit, come on, you made it this far, show us what you can do.ā
As you re-entered the conference room, the commander looked relieved. It was then you realized she wasnāt upset with you, rather, worried sheād made you upset. Which was correct, but you couldnāt really blame her for it.
āComputer-uter? Activate-ate real time text to to speech-eech.ā
āReal time text to speech activated.āĀ
This was perfect, it would still be improvised like you were talking, the computer speaking as you typed. It still wouldnāt be copying your speech notes or fully scripted. Thus, following the perimeters of the assignment, without having to worry about your stammer.
āVery intuitive Cadet, please continue. Perhaps from the previous segment, for the commanderās benefit.ā Mr. Spock commented, quirking an eyebrow as he glanced at Number One. Who smiled a bit sheepishly in response.
āOf of cour-ourse.ā
Take two. Youāve got this in the bag. Because now, you know that you know you are not alone. Not in this room, or anywhere else.

Introduction
Greetings, Motherfuckers!Ā
I come in peace. š½šš»
Quick thing here: I do not write family-friendly shit! Itās not smutāIāve never written, or attempted to write, a sex sceneābut itās still graphic. And, as a little add-on. . . what I write does not reflect my morals as a person!
My name is Caelum (pronounced SAY-lum), and I am 18 years old. As you can already see, Iām pretty damn vulgar. But be not afraid, as I will not jump down your throat. Thatās saved for my elites when they do something stupid (all the time, because dumbfucks tend to befriend me /j).
I live with my lovely partner of two years down in Texas! Yee-haw š¤ , I know, I know.
I donāt accept any sort of bigotry! If youāre here to complain, you can fuck all the way off.
āāā
WHAT I WRITE
As I said up top, I write some pretty gnarly shit! Content warnings are work specific.
Genres (Most WrittenāLeast Written)
Mystery/Thriller
Horror
Fantasy
Sci-Fi
Romance
āāā
WIPs (But Explained Badly)
Timmy's Hideaway
(Mystery/Thriller)
Outsider meddles in cannibalistic cult activities happening in the place sheās only just hired to work in, and her best friends try to stop her.

Alrighty! That should be it. Have fun, and I hope you enjoy. :)

Hi, I asked a Soval question a year or so ago. But Iām back to ask if you take commissions, perhaps through patreon? š¶šš»šš»š„°
Hi there! Welcome back! So, I write fanfiction, and as it is not legal to take money in exchange for fanfiction because the rights to those worlds are the IP of the original creator, no, I do not take commissions. I write all my fics based either around my own little random ideas, or around requests (which are obviously free, but only open when it is convenient to me, the writer). Requests are not currently open as I have a ton of them that I'm already working on from the last time I opened them (yes, I know, it's taking me forever, I apologize, but sometimes the words come out slow and life gets Big Busy).
I also do not have a patreon or anything. I might make a patreon at some point if I decide to start making my art into less of a hobby and more of an income source, but for right now, I do not.
For fanfic writers, the best way to support us is to leave comments and reblog fics you like! Even if its just a blank reblog with no tags or comments or anything (although the comments are really REALLY appreciated because it lets us know that we're not just screaming into the void).
Anyway, I apologize for replying so late to this, but thank you for the question!

yesterday I finished reading Bless The Beasts by Karen Haber, an early years!Voyager novel. some highlights from the book:
1) Bāelanna asking Shipās Dad aka Chakotay if she can beam down, and when he tells her no, she immediately asks Shipās Mom aka Janeway
2) Tom and Harry at a bar on an alien planet, and Tom sayingā¦ thatā¦ to Harry wait what do you mean thatās not how platonic friends talk to each other what
3) overcompensating much for your earlier flirting, eh, Tom? Clearly Harry doesnāt buy it :D
4) this whole passage is amazing, but one thing I dearly love about early Voyager that we somewhat lose/see less of in later seasons is the Harry/Bāelanna friendship, I love every time she calls him āStarfleetā and it made me so happy to see this author include that dynamic here!
(also throughout the book both Bāelanna and Tom are admiring Harryās smarts and competence and talent and brilliance, just prime early ot3 content going on, 10/10)
5) a continuation of the previous page, but with Tom Paris being immediately 100% committed to being there for Bāelanna any way he can ā”
6) but donāt worry, he feels the same about Harry too ā”
(seriously, the same line being used for each of the two of themā¦ the ot3 is strong with this one)
on the whole it wasnāt my favorite Trek book Iāve read by farā the author doesnāt seem to fundamentally either like or understand Janeway, and that detracted largely from my enjoyment of the book, and some of her other characterizations of the crew, plot points, etc *coughs* Prime Directive just didnāt seem to fit into already established canon very much, and because of that, the resolution of the story was less satisfying as wellā
but her writing of Tom, Harry, and Bāelanna was so spot-on and good for almost the entire book (weāre going to pretend that one sceneānot picturedā of Bās internal monologue doesnāt exist, no thank you) and that was such a delight. again, perhaps not as well executed as Iād like, but I did enjoy the ecological conservation/animal conservation plot in this book as well, especially considering this was ~ a decade after Star Trek IV TVH. overall Iād give this book a solid 3 out of 5 stars because the three of them (B, H, T) really stole the show on this one! šš» ā”

āļø for the Director's Commentary asks!
~ enterprise-come-in šš»š
Hiiii @enterprise-come-inš
Okay, let's talk about you are cordially invited because I am weak for Spock/Una.
First of all, this fic shouldn't even exist. I was supposed to use the shore leave prompt for day one of Trektober 2023, but the Una/Ortegas fic I was writing didn't pan out at the last second. So I sat down and panic-wrote this one on the spot, start to finish, like you do, in about two hours before I posted it. And I stressed about it, man. I wanted to do as much of Trektober as I could and this was day frigging one and I was already off book. š
I toyed with using Pike and Una for the rebound sex prompt, but ultimately didn't find anything satisfying. Spock and Una rebound sex, on the other hand... there was something there. They're fun to write because they're so similar but they come by the similarity in different ways for different reasons.
The first version of the story had them on the Enterprise, but I swapped the setting to a hotel to make everything feel more like a deviation from their normal professional relationship. This is not a permanent thing. This is not a thing we do on the ship. But this is a thing that we can do to try to help one another through this difficult time of seeing our preferred partners move on without us, a way to grieve a little together while presenting a happy face to our friends.
send me an ask for more behind the scenes info on my fics

Okay... This is the greatest day of my life... I know it's nothing big... But... I barely get any notifications back from āØfamous peopleāØ... Which is absolutely fine, and understandable... They get lot of notifications and shit... I'm not bugging anyone either... Write ones, and if it gets lost in the many tags, than that's that... I barely do it anyway... But this was unexpected... And that's why it makes me so happy... I immediately started to like him and his version of the character... But now...šš„šš»

So you've found my blog during airing season, a āØmasterpostāØ:
Hello and welcome! I am but a humble Saffi blog, run by a queer WOC who may or may not be found yelling how Trek treats queer WOC.
Star Trek Picard S3 airs from February 16th through April 20th. During this time, my blog will not be spoiler free!
I will be posting live reactions every Friday, which is when it airs in my location.
I may also discuss episode content in blog posts. My tagging system is SxEx, so season 3 episode 1 will be S3E1, for example.
I will be reblogging gifs, pictures, and discussion posts of recent episodes from other Trek blogs.
I may also be writing fanfiction that builds upon content in recent episodes.
I will aim to tag relevant posts with #picard spoilers for up to 48 hours after each episode has aired for me on Friday.
My primary interests of the season are Seven of Nine, Raffi Musiker, and their relationship. If that's your kind of thing, climb onboard and join me in yelling into the void! We even have a discord!
My opinions and creative outlets are scattered across this blog, my Twitter, my AO3. Do come say hi if you catch me in the wilds of the Internet!
And with that, I wish everyone a very merry final season of Star Trek Picardšš»š«

Hey ššš»
I just found you today, and absolutely love your writing, I think I just binge read your Pike fics today š¤š„
I also saw that you're taking requests... I might have an idea for you...
Captain Pike going apeshit because you got captured by bad people? Nothing specific, I leave it up to you... Any relationship, platonic, love etc... Getting hurt badly or not... Anything and everything is up to you š
(if you don't like the idea, I understand that toošš)
Aw geez thanks š
I got the warm fuzzies watching you barrel through my fics the other day! I appreciate it! ALSO are you kiddinā?! That sounds delicious! This is one of my all time fav tropes, I got you covered pal-o!
Revenging Angel (Pike x Reader)
Rating: Teen and up (Violence)
Word Count: 1.1k
Content: SFW, angst, hurt/comfort, whump, GN!Reader, Medical!Reader, established relationship (romantic), Protective!Pike, torture by neglect, stabbing, blood, spoilers for SNW 1x07 āThe Serene Squallā
Teaser: You're a medical officer aboard the Enterprise whom Captain Angel has kidnapped in order to treat their wounded lover, and as revenge on Pike for causing a mutiny on the Squall. Hopefully he can save you before it's too late!
āSince your Boy Scoutās little mutiny sent my last medic for a zero gravity swim, youāll have to do. If you fail to save my husbandās life. Youāll be joining her long before the Enterprise even knows you're gone.ā
That was two days, and four hours ago. Thatās how long youād been confined to this butcherās shop they called a sick bay on the Squall. No food, no water, just medieval quality surgical tools to heal this mad captainās Vulcan lover, then being left in here to die.
They would have to tend to you eventually right? After all, you have a highly valued life in your hands, rather, you had. You lost that bargaining chip the minute you kept your Hippocratic Oath.
But you knew why Angel chose you.
It was to get to Chris, to throw the Captain off his game.
Monsters like Angel loved to manipulate people, you had heard that theyād managed to manipulate and take Mr. Spock of all people hostage the last time Enterprise encountered these pirates. They seemed to have a thing for using love as a bargaining chip.
The only thing keeping you from caving in was knowing in your bones that the Enterprise was coming for you, that Chris was coming for you. That he would come even if you were a stranger to him. It was part of who he was.
So you waited.
When you woke up again, you thought you were delirious, after all, it had been a long time since you had any water. Sounded like fighting, was that phaser fire? You prayed it was another mutiny, especially when Angel and her Vulcan squeeze burst into this poor excuse for a sick bay theyād chained you to.
Then you heard familiar voices, Noonien-Singhās crisp English accent barking orders, and-
Oh thank god, it was Chris!
āCaptain Angel! Release Doctor Y/N and Xavierus, come quietly and we can discuss the terms of your surrender.ā
The Captainās normally leveled command tone was laced with a sharp bark reserved only for when he was at his angriest. He was breathing heavily, the blood on his cheek wasnāt his own. You hoped he hadnāt been forced to do anything he would regret.
āSorry Captain Pompadour, you only get one.ā
If looks could kill, and it wasnāt about the hair jab. When you made eye contact with him, you watched Chris regain some of his composure with the confirmation you were alive, if not well.
āThatās not how this works-ā
āAw! You make it sound like Iām giving you a choice! Better end this before it gets boring.ā
It happened so fast, yet it felt like slow motion, Angel whirled around with lightning speed, necklace in one hand, and blade in the other, driving it into the side of Chrisās neck.Ā Ā
When you tried to scream āNo!'' It was Laāanās voice that came out. She rounded the corner as Chris fell, trying to body check Angel as they vanished, transported away mid-tackle. The mysterious Vulcan followed suit.
Laāan bitterly remarked about the Captain not following protocol. You barely even heard her, you were too consumed by the sound of Chris struggling to breathe. A twisted part of you was relieved that choking on his own blood meant he was still alive.
Your hands shook, wanting to stay the bleeding but knowing one wrong nudge would drive the blade into his carotid. And that would be it.
You trained for years, seen dying people beneath your hands and had spared them. But you had nothing now, no strength, no wits, and worst of all no equipment, not anything that could save him anyway. You winced at all the times you berated himā¦
Youād never been there when it happened, not like this, not when it was your life he was trying to save. You werenāt prepared for this.
āLaāan, no time, heās dying.ā You begged hoarsely. Her eyes widened as she quickly registered the severity of the Captainās condition.
āKyle! Two for emergency medical transport! Itās the Captain.ā
As the golden light of the transport beam engulfed you both, you heard her say
āDonāt worry, weāll find them.ā
Maybe that was reassuring for her, but not for you. The only thing that could fight the growing numbness was Chris coming out of this alive.
You didnāt fight your coworkers when they gently pulled the two of you apart. Firstly because you didnāt have the strength. Secondly because you knew you had to recover first if you wanted to help him. And last of all
You trusted your family. Chris was well-loved, nobody in this room would forgive themselves if they couldnāt pull him through. You especially.
You got a drug induced full nightās rest for the first time in what felt like months. You were given a rapid rehydration and anti-malnutrition diet to compensate for the days you spent on the Squall. But, with lucidity came anxiety.
After loudly and stubbornly fulfilling the stereotype of doctors being terrible patients. You were permitted to do some very light data pad work in sickbay, where you could keep an eye on Chris.
The better part of a day has passed. You had settled into the unfocused dullness of busywork when a sharp gasp followed by a coughing fit made you drop everything.
Chris was awake! He tried to sit up, looking disoriented and afraid, no surprise considering how much danger thereād been the last time he was conscious. You moved so fast you practically transported to his side.
āEasy Chris, just lay back down, you lost a lot of blood.ā
The Captain looked puzzled but relieved, he listened to you. He took your hand, normally he was so strong, but you could sense the exhaustion in his grip.
āYou alright?ā he asked āHow long?ā his voice cracked, it was practically non-existent, the strain was breaking your heart.
āDonāt try to speak. MāBenga and Christine have been taking excellent care as usual, but, weāre both still healing. You managed to take more damage from that pirate in five seconds than I did in two days. Howās that for unlucky?ā
He glanced at you, half amused, half exasperated.
āAlright alright, youāve been out for a little less than 24 hours, and youāll be out of sick bay in a couple days IF you behave yourself. And since Iām confined to light labor only until Iām back in good conditionā¦ā
You circled the biobed, not letting go of his hand, and kissed him on the forehead.
āIāll be sticking around doing absolutely nothing else, just to ensure you do.ā
He laughed weakly, your hands broke away as you sat right next to him in sick bay. You had every intention of getting back to work, but you couldnāt take your attention off of him. So eventually you just gave up.
It was time to enjoy the quiet, no words, just the comfort of the mutual knowledge that both of you were breathing. Pirates, and paperwork, could wait forever for all you cared.
