"I don't like old sci-fi shows, the special effects look too cheesy" you are incapable of joy. Go to the dungeon.

McCoy: I'm serious Jim, I've never seen Spock that angry before.

I am pretty sure Kirk loves ABBA. Every time I listen to ABBA I think “This is so Kirk”. Every time I look at Kirk I think “He just listened to Dancing Queen”, Super Trouper is his anthem and Take A Chance On Me is his to-go song during dressing up/makeup routine. Arrival is his favorite album for sure.

Do you see the vision?

This Star Trek 80’s anime style animation living rent free in my head, it’s so cute😭 I love their little sideburns…AND THE TRIBBLES!

i just KNOW they would've loved minecraft...

Doodles of a bunch of things that me and my roomies have talked about / done ourselves that I drew as the triumvirate

These ones are Not Sober

Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."

And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."

And Bashir saying things like “You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."

And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."

And I’m just supposed to be normal about it???

Pls pls pls tell me your high triumvirate/enterprise crew headcanons, I love reading them

I love Kirk and his sexy green shirt he occasionally wears.

Me and my friend joke he wears the shirt for Spock since it’s so tight fitting.

Best friends who look out for each other by pulling rank on each other. <3

I love star trek because every episode is either Jim and Spock being gay while Bones grumbles in the corner. Or.

Bones and Spock have a super gay moment and Jim is probably shirtless strapped to a table somewhere.

The truly remarkable thing about Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy is that no Trekkie tells you about him. You go in knowing about Kirk and Spock obviously because they’re literally inescapable and then BOOM surprise you’re now terminally obsessed with the grumpy southern doctor.

Creators of TOS: Kirk is sexy, Spock is for nerds, Bones too, Chekov is the eye candy.

Fandom: Kirk is for nerds, Spock is sexy, Bones is the eye candy. Chekov is a child.

I watched it. I watched Amok Time and it is even gayer than I expected, somehow. My life is changed.

A comic about the Warp Drive Five as original generation trekkies. Thank you to my friend Rod R. Driver for letting me pour our love of trek history into a love letter to Star Trek and its fans!

Inspired by Rod's original watercolor piece of the Warp Core Four...

Referenced in the comic, The Epilog to Orion by Gerry Downes was the first K/S published, though K/S zines had been made underground for much longer. You can read Gerry Downes' other trek fan works online.

[WWDitS finale spoilers]

Aside from the obvious – the gross shipbaiting and mocking naive viewers who dared to believe an m/m dynamic could be treated as anything other than the butt of the joke – my biggest issue with the WWDitS finale is that it’s an ending that could have made sense… but at most after s2. Back then, we were still watching a story about characters who didn’t share any particular bonds (except for Nadja/Laszlo) and who were entirely static, unaffected by the things they experienced.

The thing is, the creators themselves realized you can’t build a long-running story on that formula – eventually, the characters had to evolve at least a little, and their relationships had to deepen so viewers would have any reason to root for them. And so Guillermo’s position in the group began to change – first, he earned their minimal respect, then a very solid place, until finally, in season 5, all the other characters had reached a point where they didn’t even hide that they genuinely cared about him a lot. The same happened with Colin, who at first was completely left out by the other housemates but gradually earned an equal spot in the group and developed that stupid yet sweet bond with Laszlo (erasing those memories was, imo, one of the writers’ biggest mistakes). Laszlo showed himself capable of empathy, which he proved again in s5 by helping Guillermo, and even Nadja, who used to completely disregard everyone’s feelings, had several moments in later seasons where she openly cared – at least in her own way –  about the others.

And of course, that’s how we got the romantic subtext between Guillermo and Nandor. Over all those seasons – from s3 up until s6 – I was certain it was a classic will they, won’t they dynamic that would end with them getting together. I just couldn’t believe the writers would spend the last 4 seasons making their relationship more equal and showing Nandor’s journey to realizing Guillermo genuinely mattered to him, only to do nothing with it – or worse, regress them back by three seasons. But the late s6 Nandor’s “no homo” attitude has very little in common with the Nandor from seasons 4 and 5, who was openly pining and lusting after Guillermo.

From Guillermo’s perspective, this ending is an absolute tragedy – even the end of the previous episode gave him much more hope. Maybe he’d lost his lifelong dream and still hadn’t found a new purpose, but he had found a family and a place in the world, with a potential chance to build something meaningful with Nandor in the future. I don’t understand why this episode had to undo all of that – to show us that none of his friends really listen to him, that the power dynamic with Nandor will always be uneven, and that ultimately he wasted 16 years, and no one would really care that much if he left. Considering how great Guillermo’s development was, especially in gaining confidence from s4 onward, this ending feels so unfair and insulting to his character.

I feel like the writers’ biggest mistakes have been forcing a return to the status quo after every season. After the breakup in s3, the characters should have stayed apart for at least an episode or two. Colin should have remembered that Laszlo raised him, and they should’ve kept their funny, fucked-up father-son relationship until the end of the show. Guillermo should’ve been a real vampire for at least a full season—or, in my opinion, permanently—because, as it turns out, the writers had absolutely no idea what to do with his character once he lost that goal. Relationships that had evolved shouldn’t be randomly reset by a couple of seasons just because the writers couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort to write anything new for them.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too – if the writers were so dead-set on giving us an  ending that says “nothing in these characters’ lives matters, and nothing will ever change,” they should have made the show half as long and spared viewers the trouble of getting invested in character and relationship arcs that ultimately went nowhere.

This is a comedy show that was supposed to make people feel better. After this finale, I feel mocked by the creators for believing that the queer ship they sold me for 4 seasons had a chance of being treated equally to an m/f ship. I’m also sad because the characters were regressed and left stuck in eternal limbo, and generally I feel ridiculed because the writers openly made fun of us for getting emotionally invested in the story they wrote for us.

And maybe the biggest crime of these last few episodes was that they weren’t even remotely funny—so you can’t even say they prioritized comedy over character development, because it failed on that front too.
