the batman vs everyone tournaments are so funny to me bc you look in the notes and it's all cheering on the non batman character and then you vote on the poll to see the ratio is like 82%-18%

Some people get mad when you point out that Kira Nerys canonically was a terrorist and killed a lot of people which is so funny because like that’s not an impediment to liking the character at all! The fact that she’s a thorny, morally-complicated character who has to grapple with that across the course of the show as she rubs up against conflicting ideologies, who forces us to grapple with all that too, is why she’s such a good character! She’d be less good if all that was sanded off and she was just a generic “badass woman” like we’ve seen in so much other media. She shows how people like her who’ve had the “upbringing” she has actually tend to be IRL.

But this is also yet another reminder that if you don’t like a character’s “faults” you do not actually like the character. If you have to sand her (or any other DS9 character) off to fit some generic mold because it’s more “inspiring” or “empowering” or “nice” to you then you’re no longer engaging with the character as written. You may as well be honest and admit you’re writing about an OC at that point.

Ensign Beckett Mariner | STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS (x)

[Image Description: A series of six gifs centering on the character Ensign Beckett Mariner in the Star Trek: Lower Decks trailer. In the first one, she is fighting with Ensign Brad Boimler over a PADD. In the second, she is dejectedly removing waste, which is emitting a strange gas, from the ship’s holodeck. In the third, she is speaking as Ensign Boimler looks on judgmentally. In the fourth, she is brushing a spilled coffee cup off of a shuttlepod control panel as she gets ready to try out a new feature on the panel. In the fifth, we see her and Brad Boimler inside the shuttlecraft as she repeatedly raises and lowers its blast shields. And in the final gif, upon discovering that she has accidentally set a phaser to kill, she turns it down to stun, pretending that it was on the stun setting the whole time.]

The red lights on his temples where the VISOR attaches are glowing. Behind him is a starry stretch of space. End description.]

6 year old me was so right, Geordi La Forge is so fucking cool

Hey, about time I post something on here, right? Well, just did these two studies of random stills from DS9. Couldn't tell you what episodes they're from, got them from google images. Kinda blurry and relatively low resolution, but salvaging them from that is almost kinda part of the fun!

is it really trek is there isn't a homoerotic relationship that will never be canon
