tom and b’elanna both being annoying and hatery about harry’s crush on seven in voy s4 is so funny and so real. not only is the third in their triumvirate ditching them for some girl he’s going to lose interest in in about three months but both he and said girl are also the target of their respective repressed gay desires. infuriating on multiple levels

Ohh I'm guessing that's why you have this as your url! I haven't watched any TAS yet (nor finished most of the other shows, as I said I only really got started last year so I have a lot to catch up on and right now the only ones I've finished even a full season of (I jump around based on interesting episode plots and I know many spoilers already anyway so I've still watched later eps of most series) are Lower Decks and Prodigy which I've watched in full and wow this bracket got way too long, sorry) but from what I understand it's where Bob April first appeared, right? It must be so cool to have a character you grew up with that you can still love and see new adaptations of! I used to have characters like that actually, until JKR revealed her transphobia 😔 Oh well...
I kinda wanna follow you but I have a rule for new trek blogs I follow and the search didn't turn up any results so I'll ask directly. How do you feel about Neelix?
Yep! The name "Bob April" used to be a trivia question that even most casual Trekkies couldn't identify. That's changed forever now thanks to SNW, but it's been my nom de Internet too long to give up, now.
TAS is worth watching, but only after TOS. The animation, coloring (by a literal color-blind colorist), and especially the music are atrociously bad. But the plots are honest-to-IDIC real Trek stories, by real Trek writers and SF authors, stripped down to bare essentials to fit a 22 minute format. But shrinking them down like that relies on you already knowing the characters pretty well from watching TOS. If you try it and can't get past the flaws, the Alan Dean Foster adaptations are worth checking out.
I'm about to finish S4 of a VOY rewatch, so I'm gradually refreshing my memory of Neelix as we speak. I'm not a big Neelix fan. His relationship with Kes was cringe-inducing, both from the age/experience gap and his vicious jealousy. But he does have some good bits scattered here and there, and is showing character growth. Much like Wesley Crusher, the actor is betrayed by the writing, but the character is definitely filling a needed role, even now that he's well past knowing anything about the territory they're traveling through.

1, 20, 22 for the ask game?
What are three shows in your watchlist that you’ve been meaning to get to?
Mainly the trek series i've started watching but haven't finished yet (ds9 s3, voy s2, ent s4) but in terms of non-trek shows, dead end paranormal park s2 and celebrity race across the world
20. What kind of math are you best at?
honestly i suck at math sm but i am good at sudoku and times tables 👍 (is sudoku a maths??)
22. Iced or Hot drinks?

unironically started drinking earl grey/london fog more often after trek exposure.

Hello!!
I really want to get into star trek but I have no idea where to start and you seem like you know quite a bit.
I was wondering if you could tell me where the best place to begin is cause I've heard some varying opinions.
Thank you :D
i know chronological makes the most sense in terms of storyline but honestly i would start with TOS. it's a classic and it's in the middle chronologically but it's a damn good show and it's not really confusing to watch for anyone new to the franchise. i'd say TOS and then chronological*
tos
ent (please be patient with it i know a lot of people don't like it but give it a chance)
disc (s1 & s2) (or all at once because that does work)
snw
tos again (optional)
tos movies (I-VI)
aos movies
tng
tng movies (VII-X)
ds9
voy
lwd
pro
disc (s3 & s4)
*not strictly chronological because that is a PAIN (i'm doing that) but chronological by overall series placement

Desde que salio s4 no pararon de aparecer tiktoks sobre el triangulo amoroso de Will/Mike/El inspirados en el de Folklore by my queen Taylor Alison Swift. Vi muchas discusiones por ahi.
Y estoy aburrida, asique voy a defender mi opinion sobre porque Will Byers es Betty y El es Augustine.
Cardigan (betty)
when you are young, they assume you know nothing
Cuando eres joven, asumen que no sabes nada
Will claramente es el mas maduro del grupo de sus amigos a parte de Dustin(quien pobrecito no tiene gaydar, es muy hetero). Sabe que no esta mal que le sigan gustando las mismas cosas que de niño, se autoacepta rapidamente(vive en un entorno saludable emocionalmente con Joyce y Jonathan quien lo motivan a ser el mismo) y prefiere ver a sus seres queridos felices antes que su propia felicidad(alentando a Mike a estar con El porque desde su perspectiva ellos estan enamorados).
Will esta muy en sintonia con sus propios sentimientos.
but I knew you,playing hide-and-seek and giving me your weekends
pero te conoci, jugando al escondite y regalandome tus fines de semana
Betty conocio primero a James, dando indicios de amigos de la infancia. Will tambien, porque recordemos todo comenzo con Mike buscando desesperamente a Will y a quien encontro en su lugar en ese bosque a El.
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan. Under someone's bed. You put me on and said I was your favorite.
Y me senti como un viejo cardigan. Debajo de la cama de alguien. Me pusiste y me dijiste que era tu favorito.
Aunque en la s1 Mike dijo que supuestamente todos en la Party son mejores amigos pero siempre hubo una diferencia con su amistad con Will. En s2 Mike le dijo a un Will poseidos que pedirle que fuera su amigo fue lo mejor que haya hecho(todo esto llorando). ¿Que sucedio? en la s3 Mike abandona a sus amigos(mas especificamente a Will) por El. Ya en la s4 Will cree que Mike no le importa porque no le escribio y ni llamo acomparacion a El quien recibio una pila de cartas.
You drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleedin'
Dibujaste estrellas alrededor de mis cicatrices pero ahora estoy sangrando.
Mike siempre fue el apoyo de Will con respecto a sus traumas, mirenlo tan solo en s2 el tipo se volvio loco de preocupacion. Pero ahora Mike es el foco de la angustia de Will. Le ah dicho cosas muy dolorosas(sigo pensando que el no es mi culpa que no te gusten las chicas es pura proyeccion de Mike) en s3 destruyo el castillo byers en el proceso y en s4 su discurso “romantico” le dijo a El siento que mi vida comenzo el dia que te encontre en el bosque, cuando Will estaba desaparecido en ese entonces(Will no tiene idea que es mentira).
I knew you, tried to change the ending. Peter losing Wendy
te conoci, trate de cambiar el final. Peter perdio a Wendy.
Will siguio tratando a Mike de la misma manera pero esta llegando a un punto en donde ya no puede mas. Mike esta a un paso de perder a Will por su propia inseguridad e inmadurez.
Leavin' like a father. Running like water.
Marchandote como un padre. Corriendo como el agua.
Todos sabemos que el padre de Will los abandono(pedazo de mierda abusivo), mientras El no tuvo un padre que haya hecho eso por voluntad propia. Hopper murio/en realidad fue secuestrado por los rusos. Brenner(papa) no queria dejarla ir.
Mike nunca huyo de ella, lo hizo con Will(al menos lo hizo sentir asi).
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss. I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs.
Pero sabia que te quedarias como un tatuaje que besaste. Sabia que perseguirias a todos mis ¿Que pasaria si..?
Mike siempre sabe que le sucede a Will, es el primero en notarlo y el primero en contenerlo. No cambio.
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line.
Persiguiendo sombras en la fila del mercado.
Will es un personaje atormentado por el pasado, lo vimos en s2 con sus visiones del upside down y siendo poseido por el mind flayer(quien literalmente es como una sombra).
Bueno, esas son las cosas que lo hacen a Will Betty.
De todas formas al final de la cancion Betty sabia que James volveria.
Y Will no pierde la esperanza con Mike aun.
[este post se hizo larguisimo, asique las dividire en tres partes. La siguiente es James Mike.]
