Prompt 214
“I did an oopsie.”
Clockwork paused in his work, gaze turning from his work towards his ghostling (it didn’t matter if he was an adult, he’d always be his ghostling) who was smiling nervously, avoiding his eyes.
“Oh?” He kept his tone light, even as he worked on untangling a time knot. Honestly at least Danny was immune to any effect of time, even if he couldn’t look into his timelines in exchange. It came with being the other half of Infinity.
“Yeeah… you know that corner of the multiverse you told me not to go to because you’re working on some time problems? I might have stumbled into one of the worlds in the corner…”
He stopped his machinations, fully turning towards Danny- Space, his Core whispered and quivered in utter delight at having an Equal in power- with a raised eyebrow, leaning on his staff and silently telling him to explain.
Danny poked his fingers together, giving a nervous laugh. “So uh, I was just exploring right? Well me and Ellie, you know how she gets when she can’t wander, and um… I er, we might have messed with some things in the creation of it… I didn’t know it was part of that universe, I swear! It was so far at the fringes and halfway into the Zone and I couldn’t just let a universe die before it began and-”
Oh- Oh! His ghostling (and his grand-ghostlings it sounded like) had claimed his first universe! He could put off these time knots, this was a grand milestone for any Ancient, nevermind such a primordial force as one of theirs.
And this is how a DC world came into being with humans evolving with more avian traits. Like wings. And claws. Look, Dan thought it’d be funny if they gave baby humanity wings and Ellie started rambling about how much farther they could travel if they had them and Danny thought it could be cool. Oh well, time to keep an eye on their itty baby world now…

Anakin is the “I would let the galaxy burn for you”
Luke is “I can save you both”
Luke would never give up on one or the other. He can’t pick and choose between the fate of the galaxy and the fate of his loved ones. He goes after Leia and Han even when his masters warn him it could be the end of him, and thus the end of the galaxy itself. He’s confident he can do both, even if it leaves him scarred.

I know everyone praises Geordi La Forge and Miles O'Brien up and down as current Legends of Engineering but I'm going to push B'Elanna Torres up that pedestal too.
If Chief O'Brien is praised jury rigging Starfleet tech-Bajoran tech and Cardassian tech together. B'Elanna gets double of that she had to jury rig on the fly: Starfleet Tech, Borg Tech, and some Weird Alien Tech they come across to keep Voyager afloat.
On top of Voyager being the top-of-the-line new tech she hadn't heard of yet when she was in the Maquis.
She had to learn it all on the fly and become head of the Engineering department just like that. And keep Voyager trucking along the Delta Quadrant in great working condition.
And we know how it would look like if Voyager didn't have B'Elanna around: You'd get the Equinox.
Everything's falling apart, they barely have any lights or amenities. Granted Equinox wasn't built for deep space exploration still the difference is literally night and day.
And yeah, B'Elanna had help with Seven of Nine but that also shows how great she is that even though Seven's intrusions annoy her, she still learns and listens. She learned how to work with a team and became damned good at it.
This is also a credit to Captain Janeway who still insisted on running Voyager as a tight ship, if she hadn't... again, Equinox is the example.
So, yeah, Best Engineer for me is B'Elanna Torres.

Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.
Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L
