whom are your st ocs!!! tell me stuff
ive got!!!! a lot!!! because i have no self control! 2.5 crews n a bonus OC i made for my sibling’s oc crew. im going to ramble about All Of Them given this opportunity here they are under the cut.
My first (all OC) crew is the USS August AKA The USS Rejects. Basically starfleet’s former ‘best’ got shoveled onto one ship after they outlived their use. 
Captain Hyrel, a gender-neutral Axanar, is like the parent of the whole crew and refuses to court martial any of them even though they beg them to. Used to be really good at winning battles during various wars, but then gave up and said they would only take peaceful scientific missions from there on out. They’ve got a lil human son (Hyrel Jr.) they rescued when he was a baby.
Commander Petrov ‘J’ Jorge is their first officer, human dude. He was a model officer on his way to being Captain when a first contact mission went horribly wrong and he was left permanently disfigured with a head injury that completely altered his personality. Has anger management issues and wants to quit, but Hyrel won’t let him. In love with a Romulan centurion he met in neutral space.
Lt. Commander T’kae, vulcan lady. She hates J and really wants to be the first officer, but Hyrel won’t promote her. Impatient with her 2 superiors and is usually fed up with the crew, though she’d die for any of them.
Ensign Saurvin, my disaster vulcan boy!! He’s been promoted and demoted a lot, and has completely rejected logic and embraced emotion. Gets into fights a lot but cares a LOT about his friends, starts a little club on board for crewmembers who are too different from the rest of their species. He’s engaged to a Ferengi and plans to quit starfleet as soon as his bf becomes a Daimon so they can travel the galaxy together and have a blast.
Doctor Stovek, not the CMO, human/vulcan hybrid dude who resents his human heritage and hasn’t spoken to his human dad since his mother died a decade ago. Close friends with T’kae and they both try to follow the path of logic together. Refuses to join Saurvin’s club.
Counselor Fer Xeandi, betazoid guy who can’t help but read everybody’s thoughts. Really friendly and outgoing, and has a crush on J.
Ensign Kaya, betazoid/ullian hybrid girl. Fresh out of the academy and is very shy and quiet. Has a lot of family issues (her betazoid dad is really sick, she doesn’t talk to her mother, and her twin brother hates her and convinces the rest of their betazoid family to disown her) due to her not having any telepathic ability at all. She’s Saurvin’s best friend and a member of his club.
Chief of Security Arcus Nyo, a caitian dude who has a LOT of fur and is big. He hates Ensign Saurvin because Saurvin makes tons of cat jokes around him to make Kaya laugh. Has a massive crush on the chief engineer, Aaraa, and everyone knows it though he insists it’s not true. Loves arachnids a lot, owns some tarantulas & stuff in his quarters.
Chief Engineer Aaraa, an Aaamazzarite guy. Kind of quiet but firm when giving orders. His quarters are absolutely coated in his webbing which is disgusting to almost everyone but Arcus. Has no idea what a spider is, but boy does he love them when he finds out. His eventual dream is to retire, get married to Arcus, and live out the rest of their days happily on a tarantula farm.
CMO Sokaa Eri, a human woman raised by a human and vulcan couple. She’s really sweet but also terrifying when she wants to be. Deals with so much all the time, she needs a vacation but refuses to take shore leave out of fear that someone will die on board without her there.
Nurse Kive Idor, a mostly Bajoran man. His grandfather was a Cardassian, he assumes. He was raised by a Cardassian woman named Ricana Idor in Federation space after his parents died in a transport shuttle accident. Really doesn’t like being called by his first name, and doesn’t care for Bajoran culture, even though his mother made sure to teach him all about it and encouraged him to follow it if he wanted to.
SECOND CREW i made after watching ds9, the USS Akira ! A bunch of useless gays are gathered onto one ship by a captain who actually listens to his first officer when told not to go on an away mission, every time.
Captain Niko, human dude. Literally says “Oh, if I wasn’t such a nice person I wouldn’t have picked up so many strays.” and surprisingly no one around him wants to kill him for saying that because he is just a nice person. Joined starfleet to get away from his physically abusive father to try and find a faraway planet he could start a new life on, was accidentally really good at being an officer and before he knew it he was being promoted to Captain and being sent on a long exploration mission. Found and adopted a Vulcan boy, Sarin. Won’t go on dangerous missions because he doesn’t want to leave Sarin without a father.
First Officer Commander Onarog, ferengi dude. Very smart and hardworking, but not very good with social skills. Very perceptive and can always tell when someone is upset. Niko likes joking he should have been a counselor.
Second Officer Lt. Commander Qihata Xirad, a Bolian girl. She’s very friendly and loves gossip. Likes surprising people but doesn’t always realize when someone isn’t in the mood. Excitable and has a big crush on one of the nurses, Kezrell.
CMO, Meneha Adado, betazoid. Quiet lady who keeps to herself and uses her telepathy to figure out how her patients feel. Has a wife and kids on Betazed that she visits sometimes, misses. Niko’s oldest friend, but respects his wishes for her not to read his thoughts and find out about his past.
Chief Engineer Taiggok. Orion male, very nervous and doesn’t like talking to anyone but his team and the bridge crew (when he has to). Very strong, and his favorite thing is to go back to his quarters every day to take care of his pet salamander.
Chief of security, Lt. Zac Ramirez. Human/orion hybrid guy, but hides the fact that he’s half orion. Kind of withdrawn, but is best friends with his second in command and really wants to befriend Taiggok.
Security officer, Lt. jr. Vimio Zh’raqass. Andorian, they’re always by Zac’s side and are very excited. Don’t realize that they’re in love with Zac, just think they really want to be his best friend. Worries about their friends a lot, has no clue that Zac isn’t fully human.
Nurse Kezrell, an unjoined Trill girl. Is absolutely terrified of the thought of being joined. She actively avoids other Trill and falls in love with every pretty girl she sees.
Science officer, Lt. Terim. He’s a Xindi-Reptilian, and is handsome, since i was using a character generator and it said a xindi-reptilian that everyone thinks is very handsome. Thoughful/kind dude who will gladly try to cheer up anyone. Loves a friendly tussle, is very handsy with people he’s friends with, and is close friends with Onarog.
Ensign Genna, a Xindi-Arboreal. She’s always tired and is very forgetful and often confused, though she tries her best. Is friends with Terim, and tries to be friends with the rest of the crew. Is too tired to notice that her fellow ensign is in love with her.
Ensign Zura Jejo, a Bajoran girl. Pretty fearful and depressed, misses Bajor a lot. She’s really scared of Yeoman Loket, since he’s mean to her because her station is right next to his. Gets really flustered around Genna, and prays to the prophets that one day Genna will notice.
Yeoman Loket Arlat. A Cardassian man exiled after being framed for murder. Niko saved his life and he feels he owes the Captain a debt in return. Says that he’ll leave after he returns the favor, but Niko refuses to put himself in harm’s way so he’s been there for years. Pretty much like Niko’s second son. Is pretty mean to everyone but Niko and Sarin.
Bonus non crew member: Commander Rutora, an exiled Romulan who failed a huge mission. Stole a warbird and after meeting Niko and falling in love with him he follows their ship around and acts like a nuisance. Ashamed of being in love with a human and keeps promising to kill Niko, but can’t bring himself to.
The OC members of my ‘next generation’ style ship, the USS Nobility, where i gather up all the canon kids and stick them on one ship and fill in the blanks with OCs:
My life and love, my baby boy and darling Bug Man, CMO’s Assistant Doctor Yek. He’s an original species I made up called a Parasitoid, based on parasitoid wasps. Big bug boi who wears a life support suit because he comes from a class Y planet he can’t reveal the location of. Is married to Mekor Dukat and has a small lizard/bug hybrid baby with him, Saint. He would do anything for his family and doesn’t follow his people’s tradition of killing their chosen hosts and returning home. Wants to find a nice planet far away from Cardassia to raise his family.
Acting Ensign ‘Checkers.’ A two-spirit teen who comes from an alternate universe after the ship hits an anomaly. Is the fusion duplicate of Janeway & Chakotay after a transporter accident, but won’t tell anyone because they don’t want to interefere with the timeline. The entire crew adopts them.
Ensign Hoji Andu, nervous Bajoran man who joined starfleet to explore, but feels guilty about leaving Bajor and his two older siblings, who are the Cardassian/Bajoran hybrid twins (named Irza Miyo & Moha) his mother had during the Occupation. He and his father weren’t the best to them, and he regrets it and believes they hate him. He promised his mother he would look after them before she died.
Lt. T’rea, vulcan woman who is an engineer, but also acts as an unprofessional therapist for the rest of the crew when she has spare time. Very much misses her wife who lives on Vulcan, though she’d never admit it.
BONUS OC for my sibling’s crew of beautiful women who could annihilate me, a kind Vulcan man, and my nonbinary goblin who deserves an ass kicking
Ensign Alek Ch’zei, a Cardassian/Andorian hybrid who loves flirting and has yet to find a temperature they find comfortable. No one likes them because they’re rude, keep fighting people, and won’t shut up. The vulcan lieutenant (a dude named Stafuck) dates them on and off to explore emotion and a lack of Logic. When Stafuck reaches his pon farr and the Captain starts worrying because they’re too far from Vulcan, Alex unzips their shirt and goes ‘don’t worry. i’ve got this’.

No More Big Southern Shadow - Jim Kirk
Title: No More Big Southern Shadow
Pairing: Jim Kirk x reader
Prompt: Could you do a Jim Kirk x reader where the reader and Jim have been close friends ever since they had class together at the academy. They were there for each other through thick and thin no matter what. Reader and Kirk tell each other everything but what she hasn't told him was her feelings for him. Reader is offered a promotion, doesn't tell Kirk yet but he finds out; Kirk isn't too happy but reluctantly congratulates her....  - @missmle712 (it won’t let me tag you!)
Word count: 1,787
Warnings: language
A/N: not sure about this one because it turned out to be very romcom-esque. but that’s all good, who doesn’t love a good romcom in their life? i really liked the specificity of this prompt, though (i didn’t include the whole prompt above bc it was quite long). mostly because it didnt take much brain power on my part to write this so i was able to finish it before bed last night. ANYWAY. i hope you ENJOY IT! and LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! also it won’t let me tag the person that requested it, so im a bit disappointed in tumblr. 
Jim stared at his boots. His communicator lied open on the round dining table before him. He couldn’t register much beyond what his mind was already repeating— over, and over, and over, and over. He placed his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees. He didn’t know what to say other than a rushed goodbye so he could throw his damn communicator against the damn wall.
“But do tell Doctor (Y/L/N) that her patients can be transported onto the Bradbury. She’ll have free-reign of the medbay as CMO and, while the Bradbury certainly is not the Enterprise, she’ll have umpteen research opportunities—”
Jim sighed loudly then— loudly enough to catch the attention of Captain Abbott who stopped speaking in reaction. “I apologize, Captain Abbott, but Doctor McCoy is her immediate superior and has more knowledge about medbays than I do.”
“You misunderstand, Captain Kirk. I was hoping you could convince her,” Abbott said in his deep, almost soothing voice— but, right now, it was grating to Jim’s ears. “She has been considering the offer for a number of weeks now and—”
He stopped listening again. While he wasn’t sure if Abbott had concluded his rousing speech, Jim spoke, poised to slam the communicator shut, “I’ll see what I can do.”
He leaned back against his chair, sighing out again and dragging his palms down the length of his lap. “Weeks,” he said to himself as he combed his fingers through his growing blonde hair and pulled on the ends. “Considering the offer for weeks.”
He stayed silent for the rest of the night. He had no interest in facing the others in the mess hall and had even less interest in eating. He wanted to sleep— only he couldn’t. He let those last words linger in the cold air of his quarters and listened only to his erratic heartbeat.
You weren’t having a much easier time with it. You felt guilty that you were keeping such a large, important secret from Jim. Secrets didn’t exist between the two of you. Since your days at the Academy, he was the first person you ran to. Problems, uninteresting anecdotes, new bars, the only person you went to was Jim.
Your feelings for him ran deeper than you would’ve liked to admit— even to yourself. you knew having feelings for Jim wasn’t wise. He wasn’t good in romantic relationships and it was certainly not worth risking such a long-standing friendship for three dinner dates and a couple of good orgasms. Although, from what you heard about Jim, it was a couple of good orgasms a night.
Nonetheless, you didn't want to leave him. He made space easier, he made it seem like every mundane planet you passed would hold the greatest adventure of your lives, he made your heart beat differently when he smiled at you in that special way that wrinkled the skin beside his eyes. He made you laugh, smile, even cry when he told you of his mother, his deceased father, and his fears. He made you feel everything at once, and leaving that was something you’d never contemplated before.
You also didn’t want to leave the Enterprise. Your job in the medbay as Leonard’s second in command, your friendship with Sulu, your secret alone-time getaway behind the training gym— the idea of leaving it all behind made your chest sink.
The night before the Enterprise was set to dock on the same starbase as the Bradbury, you were required to work two five-hour shifts— well, less required and more volunteered-in-place-of-M’Benga-so-you-could-avoid-Jim.
You were yawning as you exited the medbay, leaning part of your weight against the adjacent wall. You pressed your warm cheek to the cold metal and breathed in through your nose, out through your mouth. Your eyes shut momentarily.
“Long day?”
You opened one eye at the sound of his voice. “Long life.”
He snorted, rolling his crystalline blue eyes. He looked over you, almost as if he was memorizing every curve of your body and every contour of your face. When he brought his eyes back up, you were already looking at him, your eyebrows raised. He nodded in the direction you were originally headed. “You can close your eyes, I’ll guide you.”
You complied easily. Your eyes remained closed and you set your head on Jim’s shoulder, his arm securely around your waist. You hummed out a sigh. “I’m half worried you’re going to guide me into Chekov’s room again.”
He laughed through his nose. “He’s always had a crush on you, you’re single and in need of sex— nothing bad could come from that.”
“Who told you I’m in need of sex?”
“What, are you taking care of yourself?”
You snorted, setting your chin on his shoulder instead. You opened her eyes to look at him as he looked back at you. “And what if I am? I was raised to be independent.”
His gaze lingered before he looked forward again, sighing to himself when your arms hugged his waist.
Standing behind closed turbolift walls, he counted the decks that passed. He was trying to convince himself that talking to you, telling you he knew was the adult thing to do. He told himself he needed to be mature.
It hurt him to think about your departure. To him, it was much more than losing his best friend for years at a time. To him, he was losing the person that he cared about more than anything, the only person he could recall having a constant presence in his life— he was losing his heart.
But the opportunity was great. You were being promoted! And as much as he knew that was a reason to celebrate, he couldn’t even bring himself to smile.
He breathed you in as you moved to unlock the door to your quarters, nodding so he could follow. He watched you remove your communicator from your boot and rid yourself of the shoes all together. He tried to find something to say.
“I’m so tir—”
“I spoke to Captain Abbott last night.”
Your eyes immediately left your reddened feet to look at him, your eyebrows together as you rose from your bed. “You did?”
“Yeah.”
You wet your lips and scanned the room. “What do you think?”
“That you deserve it,” he said, completely meaning it.
You took a few steps towards him and stopped to stand ten feet away. “CMO’s a big deal. No more living in someone’s big Southern shadow.”
He smiled a little. “You don’t need to live in anyone’s shadow— Southern or not. You’ll be a great CMO.”
“So you’re saying I should take it?” Part of you didn’t want to hear his answer.
“It’s a great opportunity. How could you not take it?” The entirety of you wished you hadn’t heard his answer. “Congratulations, (Y/N).”
Leave did not go by easily for Jim. He was coping. His methods were neither healthy, nor effective but he was coping the best way he knew how: avoidance.
He made sure he wasn’t on the ship as you collected and packed your things, he made sure he wasn’t in your line of vision as you handed out goodbyes. He kept himself locked in the Starfleet-issued room in the barracks and turned down any offers from Leonard to grab a drink. He knew being alone wasn’t going to help him feel better, he knew nothing would offer relief from the pain he so deeply felt. He just had no energy left in him.
The morning of the Enterprise’s departure, Jim offered faux smiles to each crewmember that dared to look his way. His shoulders were slacked and his eyes low— he was the picture of a broken heart and he only blamed himself. He wished he had told you the way he felt— that he loved the sound of your voice, the way your eyes would widen as you listened to him speak, the smile that would overtake your every feature. He wished he had told you he loved you— that every passing moment only made him love you more.
He stood beside Leonard in line to board the shuttlecraft, only half listening to the doctor’s complaints when you spotted him. You could only see the back of his head and the snug way in which his jacket fit, but that was enough. You cupped your hands around your lips and called his name in the loudest volume you could muster, clicking your tongue when he took a step forward.
“Shit,” you cursed as you dropped your bag and took off running. “Jim!” You gave up as you stood only a few feet away. “Jim, you hard-of-hearing idiot, turn the fuck around!”
It got his attention— and, to be fair, it got the attention of everyone in line. He turned around with his thick eyebrows knit together and his mouth agape. He shoved past the ensigns standing in front of him, his eyes only focusing on you as you stood there with your lips turned down and your arms crossed over your chest. He noted the hair that had fallen over your narrowed eyes. “What the hell are you doing here? The Bradbury’s set to leave in—”
“Ten minutes, I know.” You traced his features with your swimming eyes and took a few steps forward. “You told me I should take it.”
He didn’t speak. He wanted to hear your voice, no matter how broken it sounded.
“I did take it. I should be there right now. I should— I shouldn’t be standing here.” You wiped your cheeks with the heel of your hand. “But I can’t leave. Because of you, I can’t leave.”
He stepped towards you so only a few inches separated you.
“Because I—” you sighed and looked away for a moment before looking up at him, keeping your eyes unwaveringly in his. “Because I need you.” His brought his hand up to sit against your cheek, his thumb brushing over your cheekbone. “And I— I love you.”
He leaned forward, pressing his lips to yours and feeling the aching in his chest die down slowly. His arm wound around your waist tightly. “I love you,” he said in the split second his lips were detached from yours. “I love you so much.”
Unbothered by the low whistles being sent your way, you rested your hand on his chest and spoke when he kissed each of your cheeks, “You couldn’t have told me that earlier? I wasted so much time packing.”
“And saying those very corny goodbyes,” he added, leaning his forehead against yours. He couldn’t help his wide grin as you frowned.
“Yeah, well, you didn’t get one.”
