Star Trek fans! I need advice!

I'm going to be going to my first comic con this year, and I want to go in a Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform. But, I don't know which color I should buy. I'm broke right now, so I can't afford to buy 2, and I'm torn between buying a red one or a yellow one.

Reasons for red 🔴: I think I would look better with this one, I do love command characters, and I'm somewhat hopeful that the red won't clash with my skin tone. I feel like I might feel more comfortable in this color, but I don't know for certain, as I don't wear that shade of red at all.

Reasons for yellow 🟡 :Data is my all-time favorite Star Trek character, and it could be really neat to have something that closer resembles his character (though I wouldn't be painting my skin to match his). Also, yellow is one of my favorite colors. I wear yellow occasionally, but not the exact shade that the Next Generation uniforms are.

I don't have any stores around me that carry these, so I'm going to have to order online. Sadly, that means I also won't be able to try it on for color preferences or which looks better for my skin. I'm scared that the yellow won't look great on me, but at the same time, I'm not 100% confident the red would either, and the red may be less personal to me than yellow.

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! I feel so conflicted with this and would love all of the help you can give me! Thanks everyone! And please forgive my rambling, I've been thinking about this for a while lol

Leonard McCoy's Past -Fanfic Premise

Here's the plot of a new Leonard McCoy fanfic I've started to write. If anyone has any questions/further curiosities please feel free to send an ask or reply! I love this AU but struggle to find motivation when I have time, but I love to talk about it! Maybe sharing it online will encourage me to force myself to write about it more often lol. Enjoy!

Leonard and his father, David, are living on Earth, (Leonard is about 15), when Dr. David McCoy is tasked to heal a Vulcan who is really sick. Unfortunately, the Vulcan passes away, and the Vulcan's mate becomes enraged, tossing away all emotional restraint, and seeks revenge on David for being unable to save his mate. He kidnaps Leonard, and, in an effort to break the boy as well as his father, commits many forced mind melds on a helpless Leonard.

Leonard is found months later, having endured too many forced mind melds, leading him to have a fractured mind. He's unresponsive to any words, any comforting touch, and gives no sign of having any part of him left. Emotionless. Traumatized. Broken. Yet, he hasn't succumbed to complete madness, like many say should've happened after only a few mind melds, and David finds hope in it.

David contacts all of the doctors he knows who might be able to help, including Dr. Boyce, and eventually the leaders of Vulcan are made aware of the situation.

Leonard is taken to Vulcan, and goes through a long recovery process. With healing comes pain, and he soon begins to feel emotions again, yet also experiences hallucinations, nightmares, and an insanity that scares him. His mind doesn't feel like his own.

No one gives up on him, and Leonard finds himself growing close to the people who help him. He becomes close to Amanda, finding comfort in her motherly kindness, and respects Sarek, who has also decided to do whatever he can to heal the young human. Amanda introduces Leonard to common Vulcan games, like Kal-Toh, and often tells him stories of her son, even when Leonard didn't seem to listen. Sarek guides the healers, and even conducts his own healing mind melds, spending much time struggling to heal what was broken.

And David stays with his son every day, promising him that things will get better. He comforts Leonard when he begins to display signs of insanity, and holds him as Leonard screams from a nightmare. He watches his son grow up under the care of Vulcans, and becomes so proud at how his son is hanging on, yet still terrified that it wouldn't be enough. Would his son eventually be able to live in a society again? Would he live on Vulcan his whole life, or eventually continue a life on Earth?

Leonard slowly edges closer to the person he was before, piecing together the parts of his mind that were broken, regaining the memories that were ripped from him. Yet he still struggles. He still hears the evil Vulcan in his head, telling him what to do, that he can't trust anyone. It's a constant battle, and it takes him years until he can live a semi-normal life.

Eventually, he gets better. He's able to attend school, he's able to live a normal life without a totally fractured mind. Yet it's always felt weak, and nightmares often plagued him. He often has to visit Vulcan for occasional healing mind melds, to keep his mind from breaking apart once more.

Leonard becomes a doctor, like his father. He defies the pain and trauma that defined him as a child, and continues to heal others, controlling his mind when it tried to break, and uses emotions to cover up the fear that he would lose his mind again.

He meets Jim, but chooses to keep the information of his past to himself, too afraid to appear weak. He meets Spock, and is fearful at first, because all Vulcans scare him before he gets to know them. Yet, after the destruction of Vulcan, Leonard soon finds friendship with Spock, as both mourn the planet, and those on it. It's through Amanda's gift of a Kal-Toh set that Spock hears Leonard's history of mind-melds, and the two learn to trust each other like brothers.

Jim will learn of the forced mind melds eventually, but that reveal will be a lot messier.

This got a lot longer than I planned...but those are a lot of the plot points I want to for sure touch on. I love talking about this AU, so if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask them! Thanks for reading my ideas/rant!

thinking about younger matt

[orangesunsets12]

Okay, the Daredevil-Spider-Man fight in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was one of the best fights I've ever seen, expecially in animation!!! I was very surprised of how good it actually was, and Matt's final move was epic!!!

Matt talking to Peter was great, I loved how he clocked Peter's character and intensions instantly!!

Ahhh the whole thing was so good!!

[orangesunsets12]

Currently thinking of Jim asking Scotty to make small distress signals for his senior officers -- not strictly to help out in away missions, but also for diplomatic events. If Leonard or Spock is stuck in an awkward/weird conversation with a diplomat or curious being, unable to find a way out themselves, all they have to do it hit the button, and Jim would save them.

Jim would urgently seek Leonard out, tales of a fake medical issue on his lips, and would be able to help Leonard get away. He would give Leonard his distance if he had to take a few steadying breathes, before they would join the event once again, never leaving Leonard's side.

For Spock, Jim would purposefully barge into the conversation Spock was struggling with and ask Spock for his opinion on some scientific anomaly, claiming that it was a huge topic in another conversation. He would be able to guide Spock away, and, although Spock wouldn't admit it, they both knew that Spock instantly becomes more at ease.

He knows that the admiralty at Starfleet would be against it, but if the small device helped his friends be more at ease during tough diplomatic events, Jim would keep using it.

for me internet friendships are “we don’t talk all the time but I see you’re online and it makes me happy” and I really hope it’s like that for everyone

Kirk

[orangesunsets12]

a reminder to all writers out there, you’re a human, not a machine

it’s okay to be frustrated with your works

it’s okay to be exhausted

it’s okay to have a writer’s block

it’s okay to just want to take a break for a while

it’s okay if some days you can only write one paragraph

it’s okay if some days you can only write a sentence or two

it’s okay if some days you can’t write at all

every single writer has gone through all of these challenges, but the thing is that it passes. none of these struggles last forever. so be kind to yourself. you’re doing fine, I promise.
