Not Your Average Andorian

"Your security file says "Escort required,'", the nonbinary piece of shit stammered.

the emotional throughline between inspector spacetime and captain proton is of course the fantasy of regressing to childlike whimsy with your best friend in the whole entire multiverse but even more than that it’s the fantasy of being a sad and lonely boy who has become a sad and lonely man and then one day this guy shows up out of the blue and not only does he understand you like no one else ever has but he genuinely likes you in a way that no one else ever has and through him and your miraculous relationship with him you get to experience the sort of childlike whimsy you didn’t get to as a kid because you were too busy being sad and lonely. and also he’s the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen and he lets you dress him up in silly outfits when you make him your sidekick on your silly self-written space adventures

They actually make physical media for a much larger percentage of movies than they ever did in the past. Often with a lot more care than any small release was treated in the early dvd days. Its just if you only watch streaming stuff or the big new recent box office hits you won't see that. It is so ridiculously easy to get physical media for movies that even 5 years ago you couldn't even find. Like yes Netflix is a stingy bastard but so many things are available on disc WITH special features than ever before

Everything’s going to be alright!

sometimes there’s videos that make me happy to exist on this planet

i’d reblog this even if it was a still image

I know it’s a sesame street clip but seriously, who is the target audience for this?

Parents watching it with their kids, I guess?

literally everyone

One of the most glorious things in the world is Shakespearean actors doing stuff like this.

He’s taking this performance as seriously as he does when he’s doing actual Shakespeare 🥺

This is how I learned to pronounce “zounds”

A Vulcan with ADHD who has to mind meld to themselves to try and remember what they were just doing

"My mind to my mind; my thoughts to my thoughts" they're sweating and straining

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

@sineala

#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan

Elsewhere, w/ kuvak: “….my day has come.”

I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they are “distant xenophobes” or “horny on main for humanity”. Also apparently this guy is Spock’s great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.

Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkar’s descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so I’m not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkar’s descendants and humans, but I’m also not….not….saying that.

And so we find out that yes, there is such a thing as bottoming in Pon-farr.

Every time this post comes round my dash, it just gets better.

#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew it (via kittykatthetacodemon)

He could have just worn gloves, but chose not to.

I haven’t been on Tumblr for at least 2 years, I come back, and I see the old faves - but improved

Wow. I genuinely didn’t know this history in Star Trek and this is the best and funniest thing I’ve ever learned about Star Trek.

why is ds9 tumblr so dead lately. can we start a Discourse

the age gap between dukat and the pah-wraiths is problematic

They took advantage of him but he’s also a serial rapist who committed acts of genocide so he frankly deserved it

he's literally a minor

No he’s not he’s 50-something or other years old

Having the temper of a toddler doesn't make one a minor.

Also I feel like if you’re a fascist every single bad thing that could possibly happen to you including going to Star Trek super hell is completely justified

JUST BECAUSE HE HASNT BEEN BORN YET IN THE REAL WORLD DOESNT APPLY TO A SHOW THAT TAKES PLACE IN 2369-75!
