KIRK THIS WHY YOU GOTTA FILL OUT THE LOG

I’ve heard the theory that Kirk’s logs just get circulated round headquarters for lulz before being dumped in the circular file as obvious fabrications by someone bored with a frontier posting. “Hey, have you seen this one? He says he fought Apollo.” “What, the old earth probe?” “Try the old earth GOD!” “Hilarious! Classic Kirk! That’s better than the time when he was transported to an evil dimenison.” The reason why in The Naked Now it was Riker who remembered that the previous polywater infection had happened is that he’s the sort of person who would read The Hilarious Adventures of Captain Kirk for fun.

I especially like this idea because of the implication that all the other captains in Starfleet are reporting perfectly ordinary experiences like visiting a space station, dropping off supplies at a colony, bit of a stand-off with some Klingons in disputed space but got out of it unscathed - and then there’s Kirk all, “sorry guys we’ve been off course this week because my first officer seriously needed to get laid (LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA MY NECK STILL HURTS)” and “let me tell you about the Chicago Gangster planet” and “WHIPPED AND THROWN IN JAIL BY SPACE NAZIS.”

I actually really like the above explanation

“So wait, they stole his first officer’s brain?”

I love this post and the discussion

dear god, it lives still

Save the date folks, Knife-Wielding Tentacle’s second birthday is November 16th.

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY, KNIFE-WIELDING TENTACLE!

Of course he’s a Scorpio

most of these are right but you’re dipping dangerously into “all cis people hate trans people no matter what they say” with that last one

^!!!

I think it’s meant in the context of “I dont have a problem with trans people but…(goes onto say something that would indicate you have a problem with trans people)” or really like. You dont need to tell trans people you dont have a problem with them, your actions will speak for themselves, unless you’re arguing with a transphobe or something it just isnt something that comes up or needs to come up! I hope that makes sense :)

listen. i know i sound like a broken record and it’s a bit annoying but i have to once again ask you to watch the old guard on netflix. and if you like it, please recommend it to other people that you think might like it too. the potential this movie has for a sequel/franchise is enormous but it depends on viewers nonetheless. netflix isn’t doing much to promote it but i refuse to go down without a fight. so please just give the old guard a chance. feel free to yell at me if you don’t like it!! but in the name of black female directors and female leads and lgbtq+ characters and well done action scenes and great plot with great characters and a crew that is devoted to their work, i am asking you to at least try

Literally anyone who’s read the results of any other time this experiment has been tried. Why are we still trying to prove the concept?

We’re still trying to prove the concept because in the West, Big Business and their owners, The 1%, are screaming at the thought of having to give up a little money so everyone can get universal income that supports life - meaning jobs either have to pay you to put up with the literal shit or people can walk away from them without becoming homeless.

Our entire system is basically based on people being so afraid of homelessness and starvation that they’ll accept any shit job for shit pay.
