i mean none of this is actually new information when you watch the show but damn i didn’t know it was an established Thing

i guess that really does explain the scene at the end of all good things where q is going on about humanity’s true destiny and picard is like “what” and q leans in and almost whispers into picard’s ear but then changes his mind

‘He said that Q would like Picard to become a Q himself, but would never admit it.’

WHich is why I think Picards overall disinterest in Q especially as a romantic partner is a bit more complicated than just saying that he does not like Qs overall personality. It is the possible consequences of giving Q even an inch let alone something more of affection, something I do not think Picard genuinly thinks Q is even capable of feeling, that will always override him. Especially now that since Q has talked about love as if it was another toy, another way to.. play with Picard that he wants to exploit and explore.

What if Q never got his powers back and ended up surviving within an inch of his life from the calamarain attacks?

I wonder how Q would deal with his life as a mortal, we never got to see the extent of how this would effect him. Would he feel any type of guilt for what he has done to the crew of the enterprise over the years? Would him being human change anything at all? What’ll happen with him in the aftermath? Would he stay on the enterprise if that’s even possible? If not, where would he go? What would he do? He has no identity outside of being a Q.

What’s so bizarre about him is that once he is rendered mortal, he isn’t just loosing his abilities but also himself and his role in the universe. He is an entity that has existed for billions of years, seen things no mortal ever has or ever will see. We can’t truly fathom his experiences nor will we truly understand what it would be like for him to stay human. How would it be possible for him to retain any ounce of sanity in the long run?

Q is already and incredibly weak minded individual, simply because he lacks a great deal of empathy which is integral to the human experience. I liked that the show decided to have Data be his escort throughout the episode. In many ways they are very similar. They’re both not truly human yet they display behaviors and habits that could be seen as human. Data wants to be human, Q is forced to become one. Unlike Q, Data is able to understand empathy even though he can’t feel it. Q doesn’t understand empathy, or at least not in a traditional sense, yet he feels it. He felt it when Data saved him, the look of shame and guilt was plastered all over his face as he admitted to Picard that he wouldn’t have done the same if the roles were reversed.

And I think then there is Data, who in his own way has a kind of fascinatino with Q in this form since as he said himself, Q has achieved something Data has wanted for years. Geordi is more annoyed with Q but he would be able to see Qs suicidal self-sacrifice and Data kind of likes Q so... I do not even think that Worf views Q as someone.. evil. Dishonourable, childish, someone he wants far away from himself and the Enterprise but, once agian, more of a pathetic annoyance.

Beverly would be.. interesting. Because Q and Beverly clearly do not like one another but considering they rescue Q and considering the state Q is in in this fanart, he would end up as her patient and she would treat him as such.

I do not know if this is what you are going for, but this really does kind of give the vibe of Q having a whole lot of emotions he cannot comprehend. Likely realizing that the Enterprise rescued him, that he is now being taken care of more than before as he is now a patient and perhaps one of the Enterprise crew or Picard himself (although I can see Picard being a bit awkward about it considering just a few hours ago he basically told you 'don't let the door kick you on your way out' and now Q actually tried to sacrifice themselves for them) told him that he could stay on the Enterprise. After all, Q needs them.

And for Q to know and find out that the only reasons he is alive right now is because of pity and compassion of the Enterprise crew and its captain (which is kind of what he banked on in the first place when he chose the human form on the Enterprise as his punishment) and that he is really stuck as a human for the rest of his life.

I am so normal about them, I swear. ✋️

TREKKIES please make more content of these goofs being in love. I will give you my soul. 🙏🙏🙏

As I have said a thousand times before. I do love Qcard, because you have a godlike trickster going 'We'll be together for all eternity. You give meaning to my life.' And meanwhile the french Shakespeare fan who can recite sonnetts on command is like 'okay how about we take things a little bit slower. LIke extremely slower than that'

@somebodys-ship said: Qcard… if you’re amenable. hugs, kisses idk just softness.

I went a little overboard with this prompt. Ooops..😅

Kinda missed these idiots. 🤲

Since this is a multi panel comic and I do love this interpretation of established qcard:

I think it is interesting that you comment about having had difficulties with drawing Patrick Stewart. I have usually heard much more fanartists complain about JDL being difficult to draw.

I love how Picard is utterly lose in his book (although I bet it has a more obnoxious title like 'The works of William Shakespeare interpreted for historical scholars' which translates to Shakespeare for Nerds). Although maybe it is a book Q half-sarcastically conjured up as a gift and Picard finds it genuinly interesting. And now Q is not getting the attention he wants.

I also absolutely love that Q is trying to get Picards attention the human way, aside from the glowing sign, instead of being selfish enough to just snap the book away and force Picard to pay attention to him. Really nice touch.

Picard should have known that he was getting into something with someone that once he knew that he could have Picards attention and even affection would want it very often.

Picard out here regretting his life choices because he knows that he is way past the point of return.
