#fleetcaptainpike

same thing i thought back in 2005. i'm mad and sad. it was rushed and abruptly ended, especially with everything that happened in the last season (even tho it was such a crazy ride and not my favorite season)... i wanted to see more connections to TOS as it should've been... and yes trip joined section 31 there's no other option

Hi! Thanks so much for your ask! Yes, of course, I'd love to take gif requests! Cameras on SNW are already rolling according to industry websites, toronto.ca (official site for the City of Toronto), ontariocreates.ca (Ontario Creates agency), Trekmovie.com and other Trek fansites and Twitters, and I just posted a gif set about it, and am excited to post more! Anson, Ethan and Rebecca have already gone through the mandatory 14-day quarantine period in Canada a while ago (they’re also posting pictures on their social media from Canada). It’s started! \o/

For the command themed gif set, would you like gifs of Pike sitting in the captain’s chair, or specific moments of his command style, etc? Send me a message via the messaging system about the details, please. Thank you! :)

so he was talking specifically about Bobbie/Alex, which was never like a hugely popular ship but something still enjoyed by some people, and he kept going on and giving platform to the “why can’t men and women be friends???” Thing and framing it like it’s “difficult for him to explain” like shippers are so annoying and he does this all the time when he hasn’t done this in... a year or two at least.

last time he did this a bunch of expanse fans got nasty on main about the Bobbie/Alex shippers and “thanking” Ty for saying this GROUNDBREAKING take that enabled them to push their ships as “more valid” and it was a really ugly little period of time that just irritated the hell out of me as an adult and as someone who had close friends who shipped it. 

i feel like i heard that their friendship was based on one of his own so he feels defensive of it, but policing ships or the need to AGGRESSIVELY tell people it’s not canon but joking about other ships and giving them credence when they’re ALSO not canon is something he’s done before (someone made a JOKE about Bobbie and Alex and he triggered a massive pile on he said he didn’t intend, and a lot of those people are in his replies basically complaining about a very small percentage of people who think it might be nice for them) and apparently will keep doing and i don’t think that’s... a great look.

like what does it matter what people ship? you didn’t write it in the show but why can’t you say that and still let people live? why are you so hard on this ONE non-canon ship, but not draomi or jamos or amex or ALL THE OTHER ONES? why is this the ONLY one you not only can’t let go of, but are actively mean about?

some fandom/shipping spaces shouldn’t be interfered with by the creators and this... is why. it’s so unnecessary. and it’s one of my only big criticisms of Ty. i wish he could let it go so casual people who like something aren’t painted as such big annoyances or like they’re enjoying something wrong because he doesn’t like it. 

hey! i didn't read the books so i don’t know for sure what Major Things are... as for what we see in the trailer, for me major thing will be definitely amos’s background story and his arc overall (because he and bobbie are my favs). marco’s plan is revealed. bobbie’s investigation (i hope she’s not gonna spend the whole season with alex...). and drummer of course, i can’t wait to see her arc this season! also fred johnson and... the bullet?? what is going on

oh thank you, you are so sweet 🥺 and you are quite the icon yourself <3

❤️ - do you find saying "i love you" in any context easy or difficult?

it's easy for me to say "i love you" to family and my partner, but i've always had a hard time saying it to friends face to face. generally i want to express my love for people more, and it is something that i am working on!

🎶 - what are three songs that can't be missing on your road trip playlist?

not in a particular order:

i can't stop the loneliness by anri

wilson (expensive mistakes) by fall out boy

put your records on by corinne bailey rae

🎭 - what extracurriculars did you have in school? do you regret joining/not joining a certain activity?

in high school, the main thing i did was volunteering and community service (i did like 300 hours each year it was a lot lol). i wish that i did some sort of robotics team but if my school had a team i was not aware of it. in undergrad, i did solar vehicle project for a brief time and i was part of a stratospheric ballooning group for a few years. both were cool, but the culture of svp wasn't really for me
