The best thing about the Star Trek fandom is that there are no ship wars. All generations of that show are so fucking horny that the ships are like 31 Flavors ice cream. Like, "this is my favorite but they're all good"

William Scrape-speare, Clearopathra, Lord Cold-emort and other hilarious city snow plow names | CNN
I was very disappointed to read this article and find out there was no PLOW TREK: DEEP FREEZE NINE, PLOW TREK: THE NEXT SCRAPE-ERATION, or PLOW TREK: SNOWER DECKS. I feel like we have all failed.
Think of all the missed opportunities:
MAJOR CLEAR-AH NE'ER-ICE.
DOCTOR JULY-MAN SLUSHCLEAR.
CAPTAIN BEN JAMMIN' SICKPLOW.
Get on this, people!

Every year I wrap my sister's gifts in brown paper so that I can customize the wrapping with a lil' doodle.
There's a theme this year.
Favourite character: Spock
Favourite movie: The One With the Whales
(Something we all have in common. We love Spock and cetaceans in this house.)
Happy Holidays, folks.❤️🎄🖖

I love so much the obsession and love so many people collectively around the world decided to dedicate to Mr. Data Soong. The fact that we all saw him and went "I am going to hyperfixate on this little man and defend his rights with teeth and nails" like hello? Are we borgs or something? We are multiple minds all singing in one single voice "We stan Lieutenant Commander Data"
I love us
So much

Heeeey, here's an open access book on JSTOR you might be interested in: Fighting for the Future: Essays on Star Trek: Discovery.
This volume brings together 18 essays and one interview about the series, with contributions from a variety of disciplines including cultural studies, literary studies, media studies, fandom studies, history and political science. They explore representations of gender, sexuality and race, as well as topics such as shifts in storytelling and depictions of diplomacy.
You know you're in for a serious ride when the preface is titled "Unheimlich Star Trek"!

I'm making some fabric patterns for a local maker that I regularly buy from!
She requested fabric designs for Star Trek, Doctor Who, Owl House, and Indiana Jones (heavy emphasis on ST and DW)
I have a few different designs sketched out but this is the first one I finished! It's tribble themed (because of course it is)
Will be posting the Enterprise pixel art one I did next!
Please note these patterns are NOT for public use. If you want to request me make some for you/for public use then please shoot me a message or an ask!

Regarding the finale of Star Trek Picard...
I'm not here to defend it as perfect or a masterpiece. I'm still mad they killed my blorbo. Captain Seven and her bridge crew made me giddy. Some things were absolutely forced. Our favourite omnipotent made me scream.
I just wonder when people stopped accepting that media is in some way a completed piece of art. You are not the artist. You are not in the driver's seat.
It seems to be more common in fandom now that social media allows you to interact directly with the creators or actors. But you aren't owed your OTP be canon. It's not a failure in storytelling if you predict what's coming. It's not a failure in storytelling if you don't predict what's coming. You are not going to get the exact scene you were picturing in your head. The vibes are not going to be the exact ones you are used to or were expecting.
I get having a feeling of disappointment or disinterest in media. But remember when you were a kid and had no control over your day to day? How you'd watch Trek or whatever show made you happy? And you weren't watching with a critical eye? You just wanted to be told a story.
So remember, you are a passenger. Strap in and try to enjoy the ride.
