there've been a few throwaway jokes in various episodes about klingons not bathing that are obviously meant to be derogatory but of course me being the way that i am i immediately thought hey how can i turn this into a worldbuilding thing. and i thought yk i heard that chinchillas cant get wet cause its bad for their health, which i looked up and is apparently bc theyve evolved super dense fur to live at high elevations in the andes. and it turns out Qo'noS is largely mountainous and prone to high winds.

so my hc is that klingon hair is super dense and thick and takes forever to dry once its wet (which tracks bc look at it), plus the typical high winds and arid heat on the continents interior would crack wet skin as it dried, so getting wet is typically something best avoided. funnily enough chinchillas clean themselves by dust bathing in fine volcanic ash, and Qo'noS is an extremely volcanic planet so i think the whole thing works out pretty neatly and im incorporating klingon dust baths into my belief system from here on

My manager at work loves that I’m trying to learn klingon, and has said that if I know how to do closing announcements in klingon he would let me do it. How would I say the store is closing in x minutes or that the store is closed?

There is an old Klingon proverb - roughly translated, it means "Many are the good consequences had by ocean life scientists."

i think it's really funny that there is no letter k in the Klingon language

there are, however, two qs and a tlh.

memory, death and life as komerex zha, the perpetual game; klingon culture as depicted in the final reflection, by john m. ford

#star trek #web weaving #klingons #im normal about this. i swear. #please read the final reflection. 99 cents on kindle right now. i read it in one sitting very fun very entertaining very insightful #and spocks in it. if you even care #is that last quote not soo sarek coded. 'im gonna destroy you in this game son. every time until you learn not to lose so badly #but you will still lose. <3' #house gensa forever house rustazh foreverrr #klingonaase my darling i love you you're sooo latin coded #i really liked the singing and the idea of like gestures vaguely house gensa being three hundred kids with no formal houses or lines #to belong to. <- and so you will all be together. yayy new family! #i also liked the acknowledgment of like. other cultures existing on klinzhai (qo'nos) vulcans and orions living with klingons and such #this book really had it all im not done posting. theres more songs and looks at their food; daily life; clothing and how they decorate #houses. more examples of klingonaase lol of course cuss words and such. they also talk about battle language which if i'm not mistaken is #like clipped tlhIngan? #but they call it battle language and translate it for the reader. fun! #and of course the klingons end up on earth so theres insights on how they feel about coffee and human food. apparently the air on earth is #very thin and dry to them; every scene where they talk about klingon comfort standards they mention making it dark and humid and hot. #red lights and such! for inside #and they say the thin air on earth makes it hard to hear for klingons! i thought that was very cool #nobody: #me: they like salt water baths and dark ale and they wear silk and they eat pastries with butter. if you even care. #they mention human chair designs being uncomfortable for klingon anatomy too; there was a description i remember of house khemara #having cushions on the ground around a fireplace instead of chairs #its such a pretty description too; they have high ceilings and wooden beams along the roof and and sky lights for an indoor garden #iron railings for the staircases. mwah i love this book i really recommend it #theres something (gestures) here that reminds me very strongly of worf but i cant put my finger on it to be honest with you. not even like #the komerex zha specifically either like the vibes of the whole book.....

Do you think there are secular Klingons who see the whole warrior race schtick as fundy extremist bullshit? Like, holy shit dude, calm the fuck down, you can't plunder and pillage your way into space faring technology.

Freshly translated extract of vIraSngan IQ' (Sad French People)!

I'm so happy that this extract is done!!! I hope the translation is good :0

I had a hard time with some of the words, and I had to get a bit creative with the line "Look down" (and anything referencing looking somewhere), because I couldn't find a word in Klingon for to look, or to make eye contact with something/someone (on second thought, it might be the same word as to see, but it's done now so-)

Fun fact: Javert's Klingon name (or the Klingon transliteration of his name) is actually a double pun! "jav" means six in Klingon, which appears in Valjean's prisoner number 24601, and it is also a Klingon slang word meaning prisoner! (A bit ironic considering that Javert hates prisoners/criminals in general...)

Thank you so much @daily-klingon for your help, I couldn't have done it without you!

Also thank you to @psalm22-6 and @walrudel for the support :0

this woman tugging the children out of the way/putting herself in front of them as the klingons walk past.. they're just going somewhere do u think they're gonna attack your kids unprovoked? it's such an interesting detail establishing how klingons are perceived by federation civilians but also worf's served on this ship almost a whole season do you shield your kids from him too? did you used to?

#ik i said I was just gonna watch this episode braindead but i can't help it #like youve got this setting where discrimination and bigotry among humans isnt sposed to exist anymore but then #you write these alien characters and have people treat them like That #and then there's the whole layer of racial coding and the abject Mess of that to consider... #and then at the end of the day im thinking about worf surrounded by people who treat him with apprehension just trying to do his job #tlhIngan #ghItlhpu'wIj #klingon ep liveblog

Im learning klingon for about a month now. At first it was a joke.

But I don’t it’s a joke anymore…

The fact that you can actually learn Klingon is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever encountered.

There’s absolutely a Klingon out there who lost an eye to a feral cat that he then adopted.
