what do you like about star trek the most?

i dunno.... its just really fun i guess. not going to categorize what i like The Most since im bad at that but ill just put my scattered thoughts about it below lmao

lit has some Deep and Heavy topics but its generally rather optimistic + hopeful for people to do better which is nice. personally i cant stand doom and gloom type stuff – drama and violence and stuff is great stuff in a story, but when its approached from a point of view of outright pessimism just feels bad

the character relationships are great, im a huge fan of things being left somewhat vague because theres a lot of room for speculation – makes examining the actions/interactions characters have vs what they say etc etc fun.

oh it s COLORFUL.... the colored lighting the costumes the set dressing. idk i think a lot of tv/movies gets caught up with things looking too real (especially with lighting) but man im there to watch a film im there to watch a story.. not to look at real life.......

the scripting of a lot of it sounds a lot more subtle in what the characters are saying which again goes to the point of vagueness, i dunno i like that theres a lot of room for interpretation

to the point of vagueness again – sci-fi technology is also very fun to speculate about. give a hand wavy explanation and its very fun to try to think of how any of it even works. i need to know more about the relationship between the ship's artificial gravity, inertia, and orientation POSTHASTE

AH the fight scenes are fun. like no its absolutely not good fighting irl but its like watching cartoons to me. tom and jerry type stuff except theyre writhing on the ground much more. i love it when characters shove each other around lmao

im sure thats enough of all that though

havent said it in a bit, so – if you ever wanna support my work, ive got a ko-fi !! i also have a bunch of wips on there if that’s enticing lmao

Love the blushy bones you drew for that one anon. I think hed give spock a bunch of shit for not being able to handle affection, then self destruct when jim gives him an unexpected compliment/kiss. Ur blog is to die for. So glad I found it

AH thanks!! and you’re right the man is a hypocrite through and through lmao

THANKS i love drawing this guy…..

[forecast0ctopus]

your reanimator art has successfully osmosis'd into my brain and i finally watched both movies and I Get It. herbert is such a little freak. feral little guy. dans frenemy 4lyfe. i like to think both of them have ingested reagent in the lab like an artist drinks paint water.

YEAAAAAHG they are so fucking funny to me. freaks

this man shows up on your doorstep what do you do

I don't know why my first thought on that drawing of Jim being smooth was that he's trans because he doesn't even have surgery scars, but then that threw me into a rabbit hole thinking whether there would even be scars left from futurey space top surgery (or if they even needed surgery at that point). Sorry, I'm rambling, but I'm going to be thinking about this now

congrats on your top surgery captain o7

Thinking of Bones complaining to Jim that he thinks he's not rested enough to be running the ship at the moment and he's gonna get them killed or something and Jim just goes "Ugh if you're so worried why don't you sleep with me" and just. Does not think about how that sounds until he says it out loud

man still hasn’t realized what he’s said

[forecast0ctopus]

AH thanks!!! jump russian boy jump

[forecast0ctopus]

Happy late birthday!

hi!! now listen... i always want to start watching star trek but i keep running into the issue that is the fact that i do not know where to start at. so many series! so overwhelming! do you have any recs of the best spot to start watching ? :-o

SPIKE PFP <333 now the actual question though. i am currently working on getting through it because as you have said there is. alot lmao, i figured best place to go from would be the very beginning so i started with Star Trek: The Original Series (1966).

if youre looking for spock and the rest of them id say TOS is the place to start, the other series (aside from discovery and strange new worlds) are pretty separate in terms of characters/time period/plotlines etc – they kind of bring up original series stuff in passing and very occasionally have characters show up but not often. im working on getting through The Next Generation at the moment, very different characters and vibe to it all

OH also the animated series – i have not watched any of it since probably 2014 so ive gotta get into it. but its also tos characters spock kirk uhura bones sulu etc

anyways im definitely not the expert on this but im just going by release orderish haha
