Lore studies I did from August. I really really like this unsettling robot guy. Really not a big fan of the drawing on the right, but I've long moved on from these sketches onto other wips, so upload time.

someone should’ve introduced data to crochet. i think that would’ve been good for him.

crochet can’t be replicated by a machine but one of the central points of data as a character is that he’s not just a machine. just imagine someone giving him a hook and some worsted weight yarn, and he makes an absolute beaut of an afghan and then geordi probably mentions that he hears crochet can’t be done by a machine and then the look on data’s face, u know the look. u get the vision.

thinking about ‘big shoes’ again

I keep trying to stop using Twitter because it really is terrible, but then someone will post the funniest description of Garashir I’ve ever seen and I just can’t

Twink and Tailor/Soldier/Spy is my favorite plot point

gul dukat’s epic divorce 

I love it when there's a couple but then there's a third guy who's also there and he's part of it but not like romantically he's just a part of the couple but like....platonically

It’s that time of the year again :)

#GOD I WATCH ALL OF THESE EVERY YEAR#WONDERFUL DEEP SPACE NINE IS THE BEST ONE BTW

It is a crime that I did not know this existed until today

please look at these two nausicaans throwing darts at each other

Javert who?

realized that probably most people haven’t read the daniel martinico ds9 letter. this is classic literature to me

i think that at least at one point julian and jadzia were smoking when a red alert sounded and they had to scramble to ops and pretend like they werent high out of their minds on like evil romulan weed and jadzia is fine shes always pretty calm when shes high but julian is freaking OUT shaking like a wet little dog SWEATING like he thinks hes about to be court martialed and maybe hes even crying a little bit. everyone is fully aware of what is happening and they do nothing about it.

this is THE funniest thing someone has ever left on my post

today at goodwill i found a kirk/spock au where kirk is a lowly redshirt

Okay no but this book.

Do you know how fucking long I hunted for a copy of the first edition of this book? I can’t remember the specifics, it’s been ages since I read it, but in the first edition it had some line that was basically confirming Kirk/Spock that was removed after the first printing.

oh my god are you telling me i found a piece of fandom history and i had no idea

I AM BACK AT GOODWILL AND IT’S STILL HERE AND IT’S A FIRST EDITION WITH GAY STUFF???? IT’S A DOLLAR?????? I’M

it starts out with wholesome hand-holding and boyfriends worrying about each other

they’re in an au now and kirk is an angry ensign with a drug problem

“being the top felt weird and wrong”

SOMETHING STIRRED INSIDE HIM

no matter the universe kirk can’t keep his shirt intact

THIS IS WHERE SHIT GETS REAL Y’ALL I CAN’T

THE MIND MELD IS BARELY EVEN A METAPHOR

KIRK WAS ASKING FOR IT

aaaaaaaaaaah

this is the best dollar i have ever spent and yes that includes bearllionaire

star trek heritage post (June 20th, 2017)

The really funny thing about Data playing poker with the rest of the senior staff is that, like... with the way his brain works he's constantly aware of numbers and calculating probability but he would also know that counting cards is against the rules so does he just try to ignore it. Does he pretend not to. Can he like actively choose to discard that information as it comes in so he just forgets every .005 seconds

Data trying his absolute hardest not to accidentally rain man his coworkers. I'm autistic I can make that joke. Data sitting there not so much "playing poker" as "playing playing poker," as in, doing his best approximation of a human playing poker. He has an algorithm figured out for it. Semi-random to appear more natural, like how his blinking is timed. He is having fun btw. Data loves playing humans

He isn't trying to win at poker he's trying to win at being in a social situation & he has found that people like it more when they win a certain percentage of the time. The game Data's playing in his head is not the same as the game everyone else is playing
