why are all the star trek games based on war and ship command and galactic fighting and war. i want diplomat simulator. i want skyrim for star trek. i wanna talk to a bunch of aliens about their farming rivalry and then go to the planet where everyones an italian mobster. i dont give a shit about upgrading the torpedoes on my battle cruiser to level up and destroy other ships in the New Online MMORPG. i want my entire ship to malfunction because an alien laid an egg in the nacelles and then i want to fix it by raising the alien as my own and then tossing it into space. what’s so hard to understand.

happy easter tumblr dot com users. i celebrated the return of the lord by returning to a very religiously themed j/c fanfic that i wrote a year ago, shaved the serial numbers off of and then submitted for a grade (it did very well). this time i added a long long section aligning chakotay with jesus christ himself. (and janeway with mary magdalene. then it moves on to janeway- jesus and chakotay- an angel re forty days in the desert, and last time it was janeway- god and chakotay- moses)

i have gone too far. methinks.

big day for chakotay girlies (me, specifically) (i just submitted the first sample of my master’s degree dissertation. which is about him. lol)

can’t wait to ruin my eventual academic career (🤞🏻) by getting exposed being a star trek critic on academic main and posting star trek fanfiction on the nonacademic side 🤪

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

I'm not "making everything about star trek", it's already about Star Trek. I'm just pointing it out

- Did Tasha have many friends here? - Yes. She was especially close to Commander Riker and Lieutenant Worf. And to myself

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1994) “Legacy” (4.06)

[Image description: a gifset from Star Trek: The Next Generation featuring Ishara and Data.

Ishara asks Data, “Are you able to have friends?”

Data looks at her and says, “Yes.”

Ishara asks, “But you don’t have feelings, do you?”

Data explains, “Not as such. However, even among humans, friendship is sometimes less an emotional response and more a sense of familiarity.”
