Commander Michael Burnham

Dear Friends, Followers, and Family;

After close to 7 years of RPing on Tumblr, I’m making the decision to step away from active roleplaying. I’ve been here a long time, and I’ve made some amazing friends over the years. But I’m also finding it harder and harder to motivate my muses.

I love my muses, but I do not have enough brains to keep them all going. It’s also become near impossible to find active partners. I’ve lost count of the Jims, McCoys, and Spocks my Spock and Jim have lost to the ages. Each loss leaves a scar and some open wounds that have never healed.

I also need to focus on my writing career—now that I have one—and my other jobs as a webmaster and personal assistant. I’ve spread myself far too thin. Apparently there is a limit to my creativity.

The following blogs will be on permanent hiatus:

@admiralsdontfly - Jim Kirk

@discoveringpike - Christopher Pike

@queenofsection31 - Philippa Georgiou

@sheisstarfleet - Michael Burnham

Spock’s blog will still be here. I may pop in from time to time for some crack RP and to chat with friends. I also will be posting links to my fanfic, which can use all the plots that I’ve never been able to complete through RP.

I love you all, and I’ll still be here watching over you.

Live long and prosper,

‘ we have to be torch-bearers, casting the light so that we may see our path to lasting peace. ‘

‘ the only way to defeat fear is to tell it ‘no.’ ‘

‘ i stood alone. ‘

‘ nothing in here is every truly gone. ‘

‘ in my mind, you are dangerous. ‘

‘ i won’t make any trouble for you here. ‘

‘ i appreciate your faith in me. ‘

‘ i’m not here by accident. ‘

‘ i shouldn’t have kept it a secret. ‘

‘ you’re ranting. ‘

‘ i was dead for three minutes. ‘

‘ what’s the deal with you two? ‘

‘ what did he mean by that? ‘

‘ i could be your date. ‘

‘ i’m not who you think i am. ‘

‘ follow the music. ‘

‘ i want it to be the way it was. please, let it be the way it was. ‘

‘ i did choose you, but not for the reasons you think. ‘

‘ what do you wish for? ‘

‘ you helped start a war. ‘ 

‘ wow, is that a book? ‘

‘ i don’t want to say goodbye. ‘

‘ i’m not going anywhere. i’m gonna stay right by your side. ‘

‘ you’re making this very complicated. ‘

‘ my uncle plays in a beatles cover band; it hardly makes him john lennon. ‘

‘ snug as a bug in a rug. ‘

‘ how’s the patient? ‘

‘ i remember your arms around me. ‘

‘ i thought it was a dream. ‘

‘ i hope that wherever this finds you, you are well. ‘

‘ i was speaking hypothetically. ‘

‘ did you know i love you? i don’t think i told you enough. ‘

‘ you showed me. all the time. ‘

‘ how do you know it’s a monster? ‘

‘ the frontal lobe is overrated. it only contains memory and emotional expression. it’s completely unnecessary. ‘

‘ you’re always looking after me. ‘

‘ you know, just in case you want to have a feeling someday. ‘

‘ you’re siding with the enemy? ‘

‘ i love feeling feelings. ‘

‘ you seem conspicuously free from bruises. ‘

‘ i’ve learned to chose wisely. ‘

‘ they say confession is good for the soul. ‘

‘ we chose our own pain. ‘

‘ this is so fucking cool! ‘

‘ let’s do it! ‘

‘ there’s no place i’d rather be. ‘

‘ oh, suddenly you care about protocol. ‘

‘ you absolutely have a personality. ‘

‘ that’s what families do. ‘

‘ i believe in you. i love you. ‘

‘ you should be proud. ‘

‘ the damage is spreading. ‘

‘ in times of crisis, ignorance can be beneficial. ‘

‘ i’m feeling a lot of emotions right now. ‘

‘ but… i have to smile. and i feel angry. but I want to love. and i’m hurt, but there’s hope.  what is this? ‘

‘ you guys have fun. ‘

‘ dance with me. for science. ‘

‘ speak of the devil. ‘

‘ retreat is not an option. ‘

‘ i talk when i’m nervous. ‘

‘ as days go, this is a weird one. ‘

‘ please don’t hate me. ‘

‘ turns out you can con a con man. ‘

‘ sometimes, the only way to find out where you fit in is to step out of the routine. ‘

‘ you’re a nobody. ‘

‘ you’re not afraid of anything. ‘

‘ i’m not a soldier. ‘

‘ my whole life, i have never known a moment without fear. ‘

‘ you put on a facade. ‘

‘ i despite lurkers. ‘

‘ is that weird? ‘

‘ i can handle him. ‘

‘ groovy! ‘

‘ i barely have a job here. ‘

‘ i’m swallowing the urge to set the record straight. ‘

*mimics explosion*

‘ either way, i’ve hurt him. ‘

‘ i have this character flaw. i care too much about what other people think about me. ‘

‘ i will not be party to murder. ‘

‘ my mother never said anything to me unless she was criticizing me hair. ‘

‘ uh, wh-uh, wh-what-what do i say? ‘

‘ have you noticed that i talk a lot? ‘

‘ you’re dismissed. ‘

‘ i’m not sure if i believe in destiny. ‘

‘ hold still. ‘

‘ his career would be ruined. ‘

‘ the cosmos has lost its brilliance. ‘

‘ you sure you feel okay? ‘

‘ this was always my favorite time with you. ‘

‘ you’re gonna get yourself killed. ‘

‘ [name] and i fell in love after i told him to get lost. ‘

‘ better dead than one of them. ‘

‘ lies. ‘

‘ that doesn’t make any sense. ‘

‘ love isn’t logical. ‘

‘ it’s not like we have assigned seats. ‘

‘ i know i’m brilliant. ‘

‘ i feel okay. ‘

‘ you don’t know, do you? ‘

‘ are you trying to show everyone how smart you are? ‘

‘ you were in danger. ‘

‘ i’m going to have a lot of free time on my hands. ‘

‘ oh, so you do listen to me. ‘

‘ i love you. ‘

‘ death found me when i was a child. ‘

‘ i’d cut out your tongue and use it to lick my boots. ‘

‘ does that make me naive? ‘

‘ i am here to protect you. ‘

‘ do not regret loving someone. ‘

‘ you made me feel safe. you always did. ‘

‘ now who’s being sensitive? ‘

‘ don’t do anything that stupid again. ‘

‘ shit, you’re a captain? ‘

‘ i blew them up. ‘

‘ one tends to worry when they’re doomed to love a brilliant but reckless maniac who’s willing to risk his life for glory. ‘

‘ it’ll be okay. ‘

‘ what the heck… heck… hell? what the hell! hold your horses!

‘ you may not care about you, but i do. ‘

‘ you’re saying you’ll actually sit through that with me? ‘

‘ you’re a very tall man. ‘

‘ may i say, you are astonishingly grounded for having endured seven months of torture. ‘

‘ why would you apologize for a random act of physical interaction? ‘

Michael Burnham Season 2 Appreciation Month

I can’t wait for season 3.

Several of these have been going around, but none of them seem to be updated regularly anymore, so here is a new one. It includes filters for sorting so it’s easier to find people. However, in order to make this directory work as intended, I’ll need your help in getting information.

The directory is HERE. If you follow this blog, you can also get updates when new people are added.

Who can be added?

canon Star Trek characters

Star Trek OCs

fandomless OCs with a Star Trek verse

OCs from other fandoms with a Star Trek AU verse

characters from other fandoms with a Star Trek AU verse

To be added to the directory:

Reblog this post!

Either add a comment or put in the tags:

your character’s name

whether they are canon, canon divergent, OC, or from another fandom

what series they are from

Original and Reboot are considered separate; tell me if you write both or only one

OCs and crossover characters – if you have no specific series, put what series you primarily want to interact with (can be multiple)

Multimuse blogs! This will be set up by character, so if you want to be on the list, I’ll need this information for every Star Trek muse you write, please. (If you have too many to reasonably add in a single comment, feel free to reblog the post and message me instead.)
