I should probably write a pinned post, shouldn't I?
This blog is about 80% Star Trek. Currently I like TOS best. I write reams of Kirk/Spock fic here. I also love making up stuff about Vulcan culture, speculating on their biology, learning their language, etc.
I also write books. My Imperial Mars series is like if you put Master and Commander in space, and then it somehow morphed into Les Mis. Frock coats, solar sails, revolution, lesbians. You can get into the series here.

I know weβre all like lawless nonconformists but you really canβt be texting and driving. thatβs one of the ones youβve gotta listen to for real
Not even at stoplights!!! I know itβs so so tempting to just glance at your phone when youβre stopped, but thereβs actually something called βdistraction hangoverβ where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isnβt fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So itβs still really dangerous even if youβre stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.
this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called βdifficulty transitioning between tasksβ? you donβt want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you canβt mentally switch back to.
Interesting! I hadn't heard of the "distraction hangover" before, turns out because it's pretty recent research!
Also, you are not good at multitasking even if you think you are.
heckin jobs
obviously i think AI is an abomination. i have talked about this for a long time and will continue to do so, but today i was struck with something REALLY COOL that i do not think is discussed enough on the opposite end: the JOY and FULFILLMENT of being able to hire and work with human artists.
obviously not everyone is able to do this, but that is kind of my point. IT IS A GOAL TO BE ABLE TO GIVE, and AI is fundamentally ALL TAKE. when looking at my career i am just so honored to be like 'wow now this is big enough that i get to bring other creators along to join the fun'
we are just now starting the cover journey for my next traditionally published horror novel, and are working with an artist, and i just have so much gratitude in thinking 'how wonderful. i have my job, my editor has their job, my cover artist has their job, and ALL IN THE CREATIVE ARTS. heckin JOBS'
so i guess this morning i am just kind of meditating on the fact that when you reject AI as a creator you are not just bringing things back to the baseline, you are actually PUSHING in the other direction. you are opening space for human joy and creation and even income and that is so cool
Hey, don't kill yourself. We gotta be alive in 2061

why does star trek strange new worlds make the assumption that vulcans are all rude and self-superior. there are some vulcans with self-superiority but generally even they arent that outwardly rude just subtly catty. but most vulcans in trek are generally just normal???? I feel like vulcans acting the way they do in strange new worlds is like kirk drift but for vulcan behaviour. stop the flanderisation of vulcans im begging yall
And the way humans act toward them is....in-universe, it's awful behavior, even given they make Vulcans seem like jerks. The new cadet is having trouble adjusting to Starfleet because it's chaotic, and instead of adjusting things for her, they shrug and go "well she must just be very Vulcan."
Maybe she wants to hang someplace other than the noisy Port Galley, have you considered that?!
Yea itβs bad.
I think the reason for it is a combination of going too far with the direction Enterprise started for Vulcans, honestly ever since then Vulcans as a group have just been ENT Vulcans. This isnβt necessarily bad depending on how itβs done, Discovery was able to depict Vulcan societal problems without beingβ¦ Like This.
But SNW likeβ¦ thinks Vulcans are inherently funny and largely doesnt think about the implications of any of this beyond a punch line. The βvery Vulcanβ racial microaggression is meant to be a punchline. It sucks. Itβs bad. The human characters being this shitty and the Vulcans being so over the top mean and short with everyone are both bad. It makes Spock feel like their allegorical One Black Friend. Itβs weird.
"It's okay to say Vulcans are jerks because Spock said it once!" Yeah the SNW crew really think they're defending their friend against the big mean Vulcans, when really they're loudly rejecting half of what he is, all the time π
If I were writing this season, you could trust that it was working up to a plotline where Uhura realizes that smiling and saying she knows how people feels aren't communications strategies that work with everyone. She learns to connect with the Vulcan cadet on her terms, and becomes a better comms officer.
I just don't trust the SNW writers to do this. It feels like they're playing the sitcom thing of the one nerdy guy existing purely for lols, only it's a whole species.
That would be a really cute arc for Uhura and I think season 1 or even season 2 SNW couldve done this well, but season 3 and some aspects of season 4 like the treatment of AβSha feels like reverse WandaVision where the show becomes more and more subsumed by sitcom tropes as it goes on and frankly i prefer when the show feels like these peopleβs actual lives and not a show within a show; thats genuinely how artificial the overly sitcom-ey elements feel for me
Exactly. It just doesn't feel sincere most of the time. I feel like they are winking at me with all these references to other things or past canon. Please just show me a story with actual people behaving in the ways real people do!
I think being subsumed by sitcom tropes is the perfect way to describe it. And although its not βthe good guysβ being good, I think the crew of enterprise being shitty about vulcans and half of who Spock is is actually a good setup as a prequel of the original series, although I donβt think its something the show is doing on purpose and most of the audience wouldnβt come away with that, especially when their portrayal of vulcans is such a caricature even of ENT vulcans and consistently proves the humansβ racism to be correct.
On top of all that you hit the nail on the head with βone nerdy guy just for lols but its the whole speciesβ. And worse its a whole bunch of autism stereotypes and theyβre shown to be mean and be the butt of the joke.
Yep. I think possibly they did think "well it is appropriate for humans to be suspicious of Vulcans at this point in time," but then they didn't consider that they justify that attitude repeatedly in how Vulcans behave. Similar to how they have said they felt free not to redeem the Gorn, because we know they don't make peace with the Gorn at this time, but it didn't occur to them to make the Gorn be a species you could ever make peace with.
And yeah the one nerdy guy is ALWAYS an autism stereotype, and this is no exception.
Contributor Spotlight: MORETA1848 / JENNELIKEJENNAY
Above is a sneak preview of two (of many!) beautiful vulcan script translations by the talented @jennelikejennay for TZD, our print K/S fanzine. Ordering begins soon, so don't miss out: Follow @the-zine-directive for updates!
ｑ βΉβ β‘ β β β βΉ
Most of you probably know the talented @jennelikejennay (she/ish-veh) from her fanfiction, but we asked her to join us for an entirely different talent... her understanding of the Vulcan language, both in script and transliteration! Our very own universal translator... or at least a darn good Vulcan one π We just know she and Lieutenant Uhura would have a lot to talk about and are incredibly thankful for all she did for TZD π«Ά
ｑ β β Λｑ β β
β΄οΈ Most important question: Kirk, Spock, or Bones?
Spock.
β΄οΈ What is your βspecialty?β
Taking kinks and making them soft and tender.
β΄οΈ What is something you've made that you're particularly proud of and why?
My fic A Tall Ship and a Star to Steer Her By was just a way of combining some of my biggest interests, but it turned out so much more than that. I'm very proud of it.
β΄οΈ How has it felt to be a contributor in a fanzine?
I feel in continuity with the past. So many of my obsessions have been solo endeavors. This comes with a community that's been going on for sixty years.
β΄οΈ What does K/S mean to you?
It's the devotion..... being such a unique person that you can never find your match, then finding the one person who truly understands. Of course you'd be devoted!
β΄οΈ Anything else we should know about you?
I also write novels. They are not what you'd call popular but I am very proud of them.
β΄οΈ Where can people find you?

Spock is a character who lives in my mind to such a degree that I have headcanons I will fully forget if I've posted about before or are canon or widely accepted fanon or not because to me it's just a given. It is known. <- made it up
Anyway one βοΈ of which is that Spock's a little extra telepathic (melding with anything, melding through walls, mind controlling someone from across the room in that one episode everyone ignores because it was bad) Specifically because of his human ancestry making him lack some sort of inhibitor gene Vulcans usually have. Like ligers for psychics
I came to this conclusion like years ago because of the number of "what the fuck? Spock can do that?" Moments that happen in tos when the plot demands it & because it frequently goes against more established Rules for how Vulcans work it has to just be a Spock thing. From there the answer to "why is Spock built different" is kind of obvious. "Why does being half human make you more telepathic" is where the real specbio fun starts
Also! Implies the mechanism for Vulcan telepathy is different from Betazoid telepathy, as Deanna has weaker telepathy than average, also because of having a human parent. OR it depends on which parent is human. But I think the former makes more sense than having the genes divided up by chromosomes in the same way when they may or may not even Have the same chromosomes
That being said βοΈ if it's ligers for psychics (lion/tiger hybrids continually growing larger because they miss the Stop Growing gene) the Vulcan telepathy off switch would have to be carried on whatever Vulcan female typical chromosome Spock didn't receive from his mother. So. Keeping our terminology simplified so we're not here all day getting distracted by potential differences in sexual development, let alone Gender, this wouldn't happen with a Vulcan mother & human father. So even future mixed aliens may or may not be Like That, making it still Just Spock, depending
If a (m)vulcan/(f)human makes a Spock, a (f)vulcan/(m)human could be either telepathically normal or possibly stunted by Vulcan standards. And I just think that's neat
Personally I think humans have telepathy genes of our own, which are just deactivated in most of us. There are human espers like Gary Mitchell.
Say we've got one broken gene keeping us from being active telepaths. In some humans, a mutation can make us espers. In hybrids, with the repaired gene coming from the other parent, human telepathy can be expressed.
Human telepathy is not well understood because of this; other species are aware it can result in strange and unexpected talents. So Spock has the ability to influence minds over a distance, and Troi has no telepathy but extreme empathy, I think actually more than a full Betazoid and from a longer range. Nobody can predict how those weird human genes are going to pan out.
