Day 10: Mind-meld

the way Spock keeps glancing at McCoy and Christine just proves to me that in private he does show his emotions and that includes when he and Jim are alone

i wish we could see Jim’s reaction to Spock’s little outburst

The Assignement: an episode where Rom is a man to count on.

I love you hard science fiction I love you hard fantasy I love you stories that explain exactly what happens and why I love you logical progressions I love you magic treated like science I love you detailed explanations of fantastical situations

*To the tune of "Uptown Girl"*

Lizard spy! He got exiled and he won't tell why!

Snw Spock needs more sass. We want judgy eyebrow raises and snarky comments poorly disguised by logic

a small list of organizations you can safely donate to in the wake of the horrific earthquake that struck our brothers in sisters in turkey and syria:

turkish red crescent: part of the international red cross and red crescent - currently opening mobile crisis centers, passing out tents and blankets, operating multiple catering vehicles and mobile kitchens

MSF: doctors without borders is currently helping process the injured and the dead, as well as sending supply kits to local medical authorities in syria and beyond

the turkish embassy: in an official statement released by the embassies in many countries, they are accepting in person drop offs of supplies that will be sent to turkey and distributed. they have asked for the following: blankets, tents, sleeping bags, pocket warmers or heaters, winter clothing, and over the counter meds for cold, flu, pain killers, etc

turkish government and non profit organizations like ahbap, afad, akut, and more are all accepting donations and some are asking for local volunteers

I really really want the new star treks like strange new worlds to include some just bat shit crazy episodes. Like I, Mudd from tos where they confuse androids into destruction by dancing around to no music. Or the tribble episode. Or the ds9 episode where they have a full on casino heist, or start a baseball team. Or the captain proton episode on voyager where Janeway has to pretend to be queen arachnia. Like. Give me some episodes like that

my question is why did tom never create a holodeck arcade?? or like... bowling alley?? that seems so him??? can you imagine that... seven tries bowling and literally can ONLY get strikes. and tom is like tch yeah of course i can do that! but he literally cannot hit a single pin... but then for whatever reason he can play skeeball like NOBODY’S business.

an arcade date with b’elanna where he secretly replicates whatever she buys with her tickets?? and brings it to her the next day??? also obviously weekly ddr competitions. janeway is the leading champion there, but tuvok’s been known to “bust a move.”

harry would probably be really good at like, claw machine games? he strikes me as a claw machine game kid. also like pacman. b’elanna really likes those games where you sit inside a little dark booth and shoot things. TOM PLAYS THOSE MOTORCYCLE RACE GAMES... but chakotay somehow beats him EVERY time. but that’s okay because chakotay’s usually following janeway around and playing 2p games with her.

seven can and will DESTROY you at any kind of fighter game, but generally chooses to stand behind people and watch what they’re doing instead. neelix is running around making sure everyone’s having a good time (and occasionally jumping in to play ddr) and the doctor, KNOWN to be extremely competitive and has a need to be the best, is uncharacteristically sitting at the bar drinking some fancy fizzy drink the whole time. except for when HE decides to get in on the ddr, and puts the captain to shame in a single game. although if there’s any kind of golf game, he’s there.

and lastly, naturally, bumper cars. tuvok wants nothing to do with it, but neelix begs him to join. tom and b’elanna are menaces they WILL bump into you and they WILL send you spinning into oblivion. janeway chases tuvok specifically, tuvok wishes he was not present. neelix is just roaming having a good time. the doctor is trying to pose as much of a threat as tom and b’elanna, and eventually surpasses them to become Bumper Car King. harry and chakotay just kinda spin around and are happy to be there. thank you for coming to my ted talk
