STAR TREK UPDATE TIME quick fast. last night we watched tng's "gambit part ii" and ds9's "cardassians"

gambit part ii (tng):

well, this continued to be underwhelming and frustrating for reasons outlined in my previous post

i will cop to maybe not following the plot as closely as i could have been but i thought the artifact turning out to be a weapon was fucking stupid, especially considering it was a Mind Weapon. girl what on earth. we didn't even get to visit vulcan properly

i DID however call that vulcan racefaking as romulan which i was quite thrilled about

vulcan race purity extremists right as we're having bajoran race purity extremists in ds9...girl what is in the water out there. everybody calm down. globalization (galaxization?) is not the end of the world

i did perk up a little when riker was forced to play his literal charade with other people, such as worf and beverly, but it was so brief as to be nearly insulting

this is the only time i think i have not sided with data in an argument...i don't think there was any reason to take poor worf to the woodshed like that :( i'm glad they're still friends though

cardassians (ds9):

oh i had STARS in my eyes this entire episode. i have been COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS until we see garak again and he did NOT disappoint

from what i saw of gifs i never expected his and julian's relationship to be like this...i expected julian to be mister stammery and for garak to enjoy making him squirm. which would have been great and i would not object to it in future content but what we got was a welcome surprise in that it was way more complex!!

like, julian as the garak whisperer...sisko didn't summon garak to his office directly he told julian to have garak there at a certain time. "he never tells me what he's actually thinking i just sort of deduce it"etcetc. i also like julian instinctively knowing when to let garak come to him and when to be firm with him ie stop the whole fucking shuttlecraft until his ass gets some real answers. we havent seen much of his bedside manner yet so to speak but he actually CAN be good with people! or maybe just good with garak

i can't wait to find out more about garak. the worst part of a garak episode is knowing now you have to wait a long time until the next garak episode. i love that he deliberately keeps us out of the loop even though i am DYING to know everything about him. you get the idea that he's really been through something

side bar how and why is he able to get into julians room in the middle of the night???? did julian give him the door code jic 👀other side bar i love this mans little silk pajamas. actually everybodys pj game was on point

cardassian war orphans FUCKED UP. no one is coming to take them back to cardassia, except the one who doesn't want to go. i am SO relieved they didn't pull a tng here by the way. going in i was almost sure they wouldn't but still

bonus points for obrien being fantasy racist in front of his japanese wife. she used her teacher voice to set him straight and not another word of that came out of his mouth for the entire episode. one that man knows about happy wife happy life. two it's a good callback to him also having a card in the cardassian-hating game. pretty sure we said "that was a very ugly thing you just said i dont need to hear it twice" about 1000 times to each other during the rest of the episode

my only gripe with this episode is that i would have liked to hear where kira comes down on this...this episode was very full and not really About her, but the absence of her felt very weird, especially when most of the cardassian stuff involves her so heavily. you can sort of guess where she'd stand ("if they don't like the way we parent they shouldn't have left them here and also we're being way nicer to them than they ever were to bajoran children") but i'd still like to hear it FROM HER. a shame we just didn't seem to have room

of course, i cannot possibly end this post without a shoutout to my very best friend sisko. my favorite sisko moment in this episode was his increasing incredulity when bashir interrupted his MEETING WITH A CARDASSIAN POLITICIAN to interrogate him without warning and then said "it was the highlight of my day. don't do it again." and then bashir did it again. my second favorite part was when bashir woke him up at fuck o clock and said he needed a runabout and sisko was like girl why and julian was like im sorry i have no idea and sisko was like well by all means. will one runabout do. like. he's so wry and sarcastic and at the same time so chill with breaking the rules when it matters - he trusts julian enough to know he wouldn't ask for a shuttle without a good reason and julian trusts him enough not to get mad at the request even when it comes at fuck o clock in the morning. like, he's so GOOD with his people and they respect him so much. im anxiously waiting for more sisko-centric content almost as much as i am for more garak content!!!

TONIGHT: tng's "phantasms" and ds9's "melora."

What your favorite coroika ship says about you

Gorai You believe every edgy boi needs a ray of sunshine to balance them out Alarmy Either you're a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of battle couples, or you shipped Mask and Skull and decided to ship these two together so they wouldn't be third-wheeling Maskull Either your ideal relationship dynamic is emo/goth, or you shipped Aloha and Army and decided to ship these two together so they wouldn'd be third-wheeling Armrai You saw that Rider was skilled enough to act as a replacement to Army, and instead of seeing them as rivals, you came to the conclusion that they totally train together. And your ideal relationship dynamic is nerd/jock Poly S4 Instead of going the canon route where none of them can stand each other, your brain pulled an Uno Reverse Card and decided to ship them. Poly S5 This is just the same joke as Poly S4 but you also think Rider deserves better than Goggles Alarmrai You don't get why there has to be fights around if Army should be with Aloha or Rider, because Army has two hands Gloggles You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of TWO BROS, CHILLIN IN A HOT TUB Empergloves You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of Slow Burns Gloves x Rider (idk the ship name-) You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of annoying the shit out of each other Emprince Normally I'd say something about "The inherent eroticism of brotherly love" but really, what the actual fuck is wrong with you Gogprince You just want good things for Prince. And really, who wouldn't? Aviskull You liked the dynamic of Maskull, but you like Aviators even more. Or your ideal relationship dynamic is "married couple with kids" Princeless You just want good thins for Prince and Laceless. And really, who wouldn't? Empergogs You probably ship Bakudeku, let's be honest.

feel free to reblog and add ships

last one for today

Himbo tier list: Coroika

This is a top 5 of coroika characters, but from least to most himbo. plus an explanation.

Enjoy

5: Skull

While not shown to be beefy, using mainly a sniper, Skull is the strongest S4 member, Team Purple being the only team to beat Team Blue (well, before Rider trained them), and being a himbo has no body type. Even then, I strongly believe Skull has a dad bod. He eats a lot of sweets and his weapon just has him stand around, but he's S+ rank. So, it's not far fetched to believe that he often carries the rainmaker, which is heavy enough to not let you superjump with it.

Strength aside, Skull... he's more aloof than anything. Sure I joke that he's a mom friend- you can pry that headcanon from my cold dead hands- but we're going on canon coroika here. Not headcanon. So, he doesn't fit the kind requirement

But stupid? Oh buddy.

Has mistaken Goggles' jar of pickled plums for a bomb

Got his weapon switched up with the custom scope-TWICE. Once in an actual chapter and once in a bonus sketch for volume 4.

Gets lost constantly.

Is the only S4 member to be pantsed by Goggles

THOUGHT INK STORM DROPPED CANDY FOR SOME FUCKING REASON

all in all, give him some kindness and some beef and he'll be a top-tier himbo.

4: Rider

He's Beefy- He carries around a weapon made of GOLD. One of the heaviest metals out there

He's kind- Well, he goes through a character arc and becomes nice. he looses points for the character arc but otherwise, good.

Is he stupid though? Rider is rather intelligent. Sure he has his moments of idiocy, everyone in Coroika does, but compared to them he has a normal number of braincells.

3: Emperor

Callie's gonna kill me for this. Anyways.

Emperor's whole thing is that he's The King of turf wars. He's the best there is (well was before Team Blue). He's gotta be strong, and also while i refuse to believe he isn't just a twig Canon Emperor does probably have some muscle.

He's an asshole at first but. Character development made him nicer. Looses points cause it was a character arc, but still, it counts.

And he's an idiot! He's A Dumb Bitch! Like I'd argue Skull is more of an idiot but Emperor is a dumbass. We. We all know this.

2: Gloves

i openly joke about gloves being a thembo. is this a suprise

-Gloves isn't beefy, but they're kinda strong. Who knows how much Tenta Missiles weigh? They look heavy. Also they wore samurai armor. The lightest that stuff got was like. 5 kilograms. The average was 15. To be able to run around and fight in Turf wars with 11-33 pound armor on? Stronk.

-They're very kind and generous. Like they're the tumblr mutual who will tag you in a funny meme they thought you'd like, or would randomly give you a frog to hold.

-Not fully stupid. They're like, Kaminari stupid- self aware and kinda intelligent but otherwise dumb as a rock. They'd make jokes about being a thembo and are the embodiment of "Now I may be stupid, but I'm not dumb"

1: Goggles

BUFF AS FUCK. He literally grows muscles out of NO WHERE when doing pushups

KIND. Like have we seen how he acts in the manga???

HAS NO BRAINCELL. LIKE NONE AT ALL

GOGGLES IS A HIMBO

[theaviskullguy]

Yall are sleeping on Dad Bod Skull

Like seriously? Stop. Stop drawing him all skinny. He has a sweet tooth. He uses a weapon where all he has to do is stand around and shoot.

Give him a dad bod

[theaviskullguy]

yknow what you deserve context for me saying crow dilf

I made Emperor Coroika in Wildermyth, he became a crow man, and also had kids.

so

crow dilf

[theaviskullguy]
