been musing on deep space nine's runway success in @need-him-pregnant-poll & star trek's general mpreg possibility scope. so here's my take on mpreg in star trek series:

TOS:✅❓🤨🤭 POSSIBLE, WITH CAVEATS. would be considered an amusing, curious, and off-putting facet of some alien life. Could potentially temporarily impact main crew, but it would be a one-off, with the birth occurring immediately or otherwise terminating.

TNG: ✅❓🤨 POSSIBLE, NOT LIKELY MAIN CREW. Would almost certainly present a dilemma about carrying the life without the host's consent, which main cast wouldn't have to make a hard decision about, in the end. A side character may make the decision and be righteously interrogated on it

DS9: ✅ ✅ PROBABLE. Any alien could mpreg carry a baby, and they'd spend half the reveal episode gossiping about it. Bashir would act smug evolved about it, maybe a little medically fascinated. O'Brien would be racist; "it's unnatural." Julian almost was cornered into mpregging. It was inches away from a real plotline.

VOY: ✅ ✅ 💥 PROBABLE, LIKELY ABORTION. Literally any character could be mpregged, and I'd believe it. Even the women. Janeway-approved survival abortion (📈) or Janeway-approved "we need to find some meaning some how out here" sloganeering (📉)

ENT: __ [I'm so sorry.. you can't make me watch it]

(MOST) NEW TREK: ❌❌❓ NOT FREAKY ENOUGH. TRIES TO CLING TOO MUCH TO NOSTALGIA BAIT, NOT AUTHENTIC WEIRDNESS. Could mayyyyybe be a fun fact one character says as part of a safe one-off quip: "Do you know male [alien race] actually carry their young?" haha everyone claps and they forget about it

LWD: 👑 CANON.

Propaganda for Kira:

Kira is only shown to be canonically queer in the literal evil parallel universe. Her evil self (unlike her normal self) is obsessed with her normal self, obsessed with power, obsessed with some of the other characters, and uses her sexuality as an emotionally manipulative tool. It's extremely hot, actually. But yeah: she's only queer in the evil universe. And she uses her queerness to be more evil

Propaganda for Cameron:

I literally quit watching Modern Family because I was so annoyed at how stereotypical they were. Like Cam and Mitchell were both walking gay stereotypes and it was so annoying
