thinking about "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" again, and like... how do the other Vulcans on Solok's team feel about this? Like, do they enjoy baseball? Are they just following orders? Do they think their captain is being illogically emotionally obsessed with this one particular human but they're keeping it to themselves? Do they understand the rituals are intricate? Do they think they're helping their captain get laid?

Kir'Shara: Vulcan Language Page

Offers a Wayback Machine link to the Vulcan Language Dictionary and the basics of Vulcan word, tense, and grammatical structure.

*Vulcan Language Dictionary

Vulcan Language Institute

A website in development by @yel-halansu among other contributors to composite a very large index of Vulcan languages (including dialects), words, and Vulcan stories in both English & Vulkansu.

The Vulcan Language PDF

A somewhat outdated but still useful Vulkansu dictionary, primarily helpful for the language lessons in the latter half.

Kor'saya: Vulkansu Script

Lore on the development of the ancient script, there are other fonts like “handwriting” and “Dzhaleyl” but AGV (Ancient Golic Vulcan) is the one which contains the letter-by-letter breakdown.

Vulcan Alphabet Song

A rudimentary children's song "ghost written" by Amanda Grayson on the absolute basics of the Vulcan alphabet from consonants, to vowels, punctuation, self-identification, to digits. (Hopefully I will be able to put it to music soon instead of just lyrics!)

Names

City Names

Monastery Names

Name Prefixes & Suffixes

Translations for the apostrophes and hyphens in Vulcan names.

Star Trek is so vast and self-contradictory at times I think we're all allowed one heresy from canon. My heresy is that DISCO/SNW and TOS are not the same timeline, no matter what the creators say.

#you can't change my mind about this #star trek #sporkandpringles original #star trek snw #star trek discovery #star trek tos

I wish more trek ladies besides Saavik got called "Mr." it's so very gender

my problems with discovery's spore drive have nothing to do with the wacky mushroom science. Like this is Star Trek™ not some bonefide diamond on the Moh's Scale of Sci-Fi hardness like The Martian. I know to expect the writers playing a bit fast and loose with physics and how the real world works. I'm here for that wackniess, actually. Love me some technobabble about mycelial spores or tetryon particles or whatever! the thing that doesn't work for me is the way the spore drive acts narratively, and how the technology was introduced within the timeline of the series. Like it's just obvious that the writers aren't willing to let anyone else but Discovery have access to the spore drive. They twisted up the Glenn in season one, so Discovery is the only ship with a spore drive. They hemmed and hawed about genetic modification in season 2 so no one else got a spore drive. They purged records of the spore drive's existence from history and claimed that no one else had tried to make anything like it in 900 years despite a massive dilithium shortage and canonical search for other methods of propulsion in season 3. And then at the very end, just when you think, oh hey maybe the entire population of Kwejian will make for a nice crop of new spore drive pilots, the writers fucking blow up their whole planet just so they don't have to let anyone else have the spore drive. And to be fair, they can't really let anyone else have it, or else Discovery loses it's right to be "the only one we can turn to in a crisis". And that's really all it has going for it. So, I get it! Still hate it, though. And, even moreso than all the silly narrative contrivances that are used to nerf transporter technology so that the plot can still happen, this bothers me. Because sure, all the ion storms and interference can get a bit stupid. We all make fun of star trek for inventing a technology that could immediately yoink our blorbos away from their problems, only to turn around and force it to not work when it's needed most. But at least there isn't just one ship that has the ability to use the transporter at all. That would be ridiculous. Everyone would want their own transporter. And yet, that's the situation we have in Discovery. Only one ship can travel across the galaxy in the blink of an eye. The show writers keep contriving to keep it that way. And given how useful instantaneous travel is, the fact that it hasn't been replicated once, by any species in the galaxy, not just the Federation, in 900 years is just stretching the limits of my willing suspension of disbelief.

#sporkandpringles original #gripes #star trek discovery #the spore drive #I think it's a cool concept #but the timing is weird #and even if we say 'oh the Federation didn't use it for moral reasons' like... #...do you think that would stop the Orions? the Romulans? literally anyone else who isn't the Federation? #I don't think so #'oh it was top secret' #so is no one studying the mycelial network? #are there no other mushroom scientists? stamets is the only one? #we know that's not true another one was on the Glenn #if different societies are expected to independently invent warp drive then why not also the spore drive?

I would say we need to start shipping Vedek Bareil/Shakaar but I know half of you would say you thought those were the same guy

Wondering what kind of unhinged holoprogram sex mania Quark tried to sell to the Romulans once they started coming to DS9. Somehow I don't think they'd be all that into "Vulcan Love Slave" but what would they be into?

I despise Jack Crusher for a lot more substantive reasons, but the fact that he’s named the same as Wesley’s dad (who isn’t even his father) is incredibly annoying.

It’s pretty gay to seek kolinahr, actually. What emotions are you trying to purge? Your feelings for other men?
