someone reminded me of how mad i was when trip & t'pol's baby died in ENT so.

Malcolm's not entirely sure what's going on, the only information he has is the hasty, "Engine's funny, need her out of there." that Trip had given him, alongside his literal child.

And it's not like Malcolm doesn't know Elizabeth, obviously he does, she's three years old and been living on the ship for all of them, but he has also never been left alone with her before.

She squirms in his arms until he puts her down and then blinks up at him with her large brown eyes.

"So," he says, for lack of anything else, "what do you do for fun?"

Elizabeth lifts one of her small hands to rub at her nose. "Chocolate."

He has a very vague memory of Trip, off hand, mentioning that chocolate has the same effect on Vulcans that alcohol has on humans. "I don't have any of that."

"Sparks." She mimes pressing two wires together.

"I don't have any of that either."

She tilts her head, unimpressed, and it's honestly a little freaky how much she can look like her mother. "What then?"

"Uh," he glances down at the tablet he had pulled out before Trip had blown in, "I need to do inventory, you wanna help?"

Elizabeth makes grabby hands at the tablet and he hands it over. From the crease in her brow, Malcolm is not entirely sure she actually understands any of it, but she eventually nods and hands it back.

"'ventory."

"In-ventory," he corrects, absently minded, thankfully she hasn't touched the screen at all, so the list from the last time he went through everything in the armory is still up.

"In-ventor-ee."

They blink at each other.

"Yeah." Malcolm eventually says. "Exactly."

My cat, Bug, is really sick. We discovered today that he's suffering liver failure and it's unclear what the cause is. My only income is my disability benefits, which barely cover rent, food, and other bills. Any amount of money would help, so please donate, even if it's only a few dollars. The minimum cost of treatment is 2000 USD and it may go all the way up to 4000, so my ko-fi goal has been set for 2500. You can donate here:

If you can't donate, please at least reblog, more eyes is better.

you're the only one who understands me mr strobbery

Sam completed the real world version of superhero school, where most candidates drop out.

Natasha knew of Sam’s mission by name and was shocked.

Nick Fury tried to recruit Sam after seeing him in battle one time.

They immediately tried to recruit him into the Avengers but Sam said no. Until he finally relented and joined up.

Literally every important character who has ever met Sam Wilson immediately tried to recruit him for their team.

We have known Sam’s qualifications for yeaaaars. Why is there any doubt he’s Captain America?

Reed x Talas (¼) Episode 3x13 “Proving Ground” Star Trek: Enterprise

[deadheaddaisy]

V - Which character do you relate to most?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

Great questions thanks @thiefbird

L - Shran

I am a bit neutral about him but he strikes me as being really kind, like underneath it all.

T - yes, Trip lives! These are the voyages never happened!

V - I think it has to be Malcolm Reed 😁

So we are both introverts - that scene in Minefield where he has to have breakfast with the Captain and he’s so nervous walking up to the door, and then the small talk about sport and football which he fails at miserably - it’s just so excruciatingly relatable. 

We are both English and didn’t grow up in England - at least, there’s a hint in Enterprise that Malcolm spent part of his childhood in Malaysia. There’s a lot of assumptions that go with accents, and I love fics which explore how Malcolm might not have had the cultural upbringing that the crew were expecting, and their reactions to that. 

We are both from military families and I totally get the whole “I was taught not to fraternise with senior officers” bit and how difficult he finds it to relate to those in authority over him on a friendship level - like, he’s not got any script or frame of reference for what it looks like to be friends with your commanding officer / teacher / person in authority over you. I grew up on air bases and going to the military schools and being part of a community where everything is structured and hierarchical, where you know your place and what’s expected of you and what to expect of others. I can totally understand why Malcolm freaks out when Archer goes “off script” and deviates from what he expects his commanding officer to be like.  

The food thing - in one episode Trip tells another character in horror that Malcolm once ate the same thing every day for a year - I remember watching that for the first time thinking “oh thank goodness someone else does that too” because I eat the same things every day too. Steve Jobs wore the same black clothes each day so he wouldn’t have to waste brain energy on what to wear, and that’s how I feel about food, it’s just fuel.

Oh yes and he loves reading. When I read Ulysses by James Joyce for the first time people thought I was a bit strange and it felt a bit isolating, but then later when I watched Shuttlepod One and Malcolm told Trip he was reading it, it was the best feeling 😁

thanks for the ask! 🖖
