Falling in love in the Terran universe is a dangerous thing…

A Terran relationship is dangerous. There are rules to navigating it. This is how Paul Stamets and Hugh Culber break those rules.

Based kind of on the song How To Be A Heartbreaker by MARINA

  (updates every day)

This, other than being a fantastic fic you should read, I find super interesting based on a comment that Mirror!Georgiou makes about Paul and Hugh in (i believe?) season 3. In the scene, she tries to flirt with Paul (again, i think), and Hugh sees how clearly uncomfortable Paul is & speaks up that he’s gay. Georgiou replies that in her universe he’s pan (or bi? I don’t remember). 

This is quite interesting because in this amazing fic by @sadmushroomgoblin it explains that Terran relationships differ from the Prime Universe relationships because they are not based on feelings, merely a fun pastime that is to be fled from as soon as things could get dangerous. Which is on track based on Georgiou’s comments. 

I think it’s fairly likely that sexuality in the mirrorverse is far more of necessity and less serious than in Prime, which means Mirror!Culmets wouldn’t necessarily actually be bi/pan, since romantic feelings are to be squashed and the object of said feelings to be murdered. 

It also begs the question of “is sexuality a universal constant”. Of course, how someone defines it is based on the words they have, their environment and their own experiences. But is it possible that their actual attraction is the same from universe to universe? We can definitively say that genetics is not a role in sexuality (other than the “gay gene” concept being offensive, it’s also easily disproven by looking at identical twins.), which means that the main factor shared between counterparts is taken away. So what is it? Is it a universal constant in the first place? Are Georgiou’s comments correct?

The interactions between Prime and Mirror Stamets were so entertaining. I'm a season and a half through Discovery and I finally finished this fanart I wanted to make ever since seeing Vaulting Ambition. Stamets is actually kind of hard to draw 😭

Either way I hope I did my favorite justice haha

I'm interested to hear what the public believes are the gayest star trek episodes from any series

[solar-beam-me-up-scotty]

Damn mirror!Paul can't catch a fucken break, huh? Killed twice over now. And they made him narrate a cirque de soleil performance? The science man? Cirque de soleil? Man didn't even die with dignity

HI. WHY THE FUCK DID STAMETS' REFLECTION JUST HANG OUT THERE. WHAT THE FUCK

[lostyesterday]

I was curious about which Star Trek shows had the most human vs non-human characters, so I made this graph. I counted all major characters plus characters who were in at least 10 episodes of each respective show (with a few exceptions for incredibly minor characters who are technically in more than ten episodes but have barely any/no lines). A full list of characters included is below the cut.

TOS:

Part/Non-Human: Spock

Human: Kirk, Mccoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Chapel

TNG:

Part/Non-Human: Data, Troi, Worf, Guinan

Human: Picard, Riker, La Forge, Crusher, Wesley, Yar, Pulaski, O’Brien, Ogawa

DS9:

Part/Non-Human: Kira, Odo, Quark, Jadzia, Rom, Nog, Garak, Dukat, Worf, Weyoun, Martok, Leeta, Ezri, Damar, Female Changeling, Winn

Human: Sisko, Bashir, Jake, O’Brien, Keiko, Kasidy, Ross

VOY:

Part/Non-Human: Torres, Neelix, EMH, Tuvok, Kes, Seven (part Borg counts as not entirely human to me), Seska, Naomi, Icheb

Human: Janeway, Chakotay, Paris, Kim

ENT:

Part/Non-Human: T’Pol, Phlox, Soval, Shran

Human: Archer, Reed, Tucker, Sato, Mayweather, Forrest

DIS:

Part/Non-Human: Saru, Tyler (debatable but I’m counting him as partly non-human), L’Rell, Book, T’Rina, Nhan, Rillak, Linus, Zora, Adira (again, debatable, but they’ve got a symbiont so they’re not entirely human to me), Gray

Human: Burnham, Stamets (complicated case but I counted him as still human), Tilly, Culber, Lorca (mirror universe characters are still human, I think), Georgiou, Detmer, Owosekun, Rhys, Bryce, Cornwell, Airiam (she’s still human), Pike, Jett, Nilsson, Pollard, Vance

PIC:

Part/Non-Human: Picard (for part of the show at least), Elnor, Soji, Narek, Seven, Laris/Talinn (I am just pretending they’re the same character for simplicity), Jack (I guess???)

Human: Musiker, Jurati, Rios, Adam, Riker, Crusher, Shaw, Sidney

LWD:

Part/Non-Human: Tendi, Shaxs, T’Ana, Barnes, Kayshon

Human: Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, Freeman, Ransom, Billups

PRO:

Part/Non-Human: Dal, Gwyn, Zero, Rok-Tahk, Jankom, Murf, Hologram Janeway, Diviner, Drednok

SNW:

Part/Non-Human: Spock, Una, Hemmer

Human: Pike, La’an, Uhura, Chapel, M’Benga, Ortegas

The crazy part about Star Trek Online is that it's stuffed full of cameos and missions that repeatedly star characters from the main cast of every major Star Trek show except, I think, Enterprise, Strange New Worlds, and Lower Decks.

Like you can go on a fully voiced adventure with Michael Burnham and Seven of Nine in her Fenris Rangers era to decide whether the Excalbians will embrace good or evil and fight Seven's evil simulation created body double.

Worf, voiced by Michael Dorn, Worf is in the major Iconian missions and a central figure for Klingon players as they shoot up the ranks.

Martok, voiced by John Garman Hertzler Jr. (rescue him from the Tzenkethi and go on so many missions together as random space adventures, and he's just like he is in DS9.)

Almost the entire cast of Deep Space Nine, including René Auberjonois's final voicework as Odo before his passing, the same for Aron Eisberg as Nog, Nana Visitor as Kira Nerys, and there's an entire episode where you play as Quark and his Ferengi friends stealing from Iconians. Even Salome Jens pops up as the Female Changeling to play a villain in the Gamma Quandrant arcs. Plus, Chase Masterson got in ahead of them all to chew through the scenery as Leeta's Mirror counterpart, Admiral Leeta!

Levar Burton as Geordi LaForge!

Janeway and Mirror Janeway voiced by Kate Mulgrew. (Mirror Janeway is a Borg Queen!)

Denise Crosby as my Romulan main's new adopted mother, Empress Sela and her mother, Natasha Yar. There's also Tuvok (my love!), Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Seven of Nine, Jason Isaacs voicing Prime Gabriel Lorca (!!) in the Discovery missions, Tilly and my much beloathed nemesis Mirror Tilly, Stamets, and Michael Burnham. Most recently we've gotten Mirror Wesley Crusher and Mirror Doctor Crusher during Picard's third season, and Ezri Dax in the latest episodes.

There's also Leonard Nemoy, who voiced the major exploration sections and Fed character level ups in the initial game but that's been in at launch.

It's honestly impressive. Every time I turn around it feels like another Star Trek alum is lending their voice to the game. Star Trek Online is somehow the most blessed and the most cursed tie-in game in existence. The dream and the hellscape for Star Trek fans.

Also, the space combat is genuinely really fun.

There Is a God, and She's Very, VERY Mad at You.

is this what happened in the mycelial network

[dragons-in-spaceee]

Since you asked… I’d love to see Paul (prime or mirror, whichever is funnier) with a cat on his head :)

No pressure though.

Honestly your art is so whimsical and joyous

I thought you’d prefer some mirror content so here he is!! He’s doing some silly little experiments with a friend… what crimes will they commit?

Anthony Rapp as Mirror Stamets
