Stuck In The Turbo Lift Headcanon With TNG

Stuck in the Turbo Lift headcanon with TNG

Requested by @izzafizza

TNG reacting to your confusion/annoyance

(gonna be completely honest I had to watch a couple episodes to refresh myself here so it might not be stellar, hope you like it anyway)

Jean-Luc Picard

Calm, cool, and collected

He’s definitely amused by your irritation

He hides it well though

not gonna lie though, he’s kinda annoyed too

he’ll let you be annoyed for a little while before trying to reason with you

depending on how stubborn you are he might give up and you might just spend the rest of your wait in mutual irritation.

Wesley Crusher

Sweet kid, will do his best to get you to cool off, even if it’s useless

He means well, but it’s certainly not the best course of action, he’ll end up telling about the latest thing he’s learned in his studies

It does work, but it works by boring you to tears

you can’t bring yourself to be mad at him though because he’s trying, he’s really trying

Honestly, if it takes too long for someone to fix the turbo lift you probably both fall asleep (listen you’re just sleepy people okay, I don’t make the rules)

Data

He understands that the situation is not ideal

But he certainly doesn’t understand why you’re annoyed

He runs through his database and tries everything, and I mean everything, he finds to try and sooth you

poor baby just wants to help, but probably irritates you more in the process

if you don’t deck the poor android first, he’ll eventually land on just asking you what’s wrong

upon finding out that you urgently had to be somewhere and couldn’t be late, he assures you that they’ll probably excuse your tardiness/absence because you don’t control the turbo lift.

Beverly Crusher

This lady is sweeter than peaches and cream about the whole thing

sure she had somewhere to be, but this would be over soon

As for your irritation, she’ll try to talk you down from your hot temper

If/when that fails, she will give up on actively talking you down and settle for talking at all.

I don’t even think this is any good, but I hope you at least don’t hate it @izzafizza. Leat me you if you want anything else 🤗

Not my circus, but damnit I know the clowns 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m not crying 😭

An open Tumblr letter to younger fans, from a 77-year-old TOS fangirl

* who has shipped Spirk since that night in 1967 that Amok Time first aired * and helped storm NBC to keep TOS on the air for a 3rd season * and wrote fanfic way back in the day * and was privileged to be around for the earliest days of fandom, when Leonard used to come to your house if that’s where the fan club was meeting and sit on the sofa with you in that Spock hair cut and eat cake

All of you who are writing TOS/AOS fan fiction and creating fan art now: remember, YOU are the ones shaping the traditions of fandom. You have inherited the kingdom. Bless you for keeping it vibrant, growing, alive. In fifty years, you will be the ones who are remembered for molding it and handing it down to the future. It probably doesn’t feel like now, but you are making history.

Your current addiction to TOS and the feels you get when you contemplate the love between Jim and Spock will be with you for life. It won’t always be in the forefront; you will sometimes go years, sometimes go a decade, without Star Trek being more than a passing thought. But then something will remind you and every consuming feeling you feel right now will come rushing back, every bit as powerful and deep and strong as it is today. All there, right where you left it.

The friendships you make in fandom will be with you for life. Like all friendships, they will wax and wane as the focus of your life shifts over time, but you will always be able to pick up the thread. You will — to give you a hypothetical example — be 77 years old and discover Tumblr and get a rush of Spirk feels after a decade of not giving TOS a thought, and contact your 83-year-old fangirl friend in the nursing home, to whom you haven’t spoken in several years. You will open the conversation with, “So, Jim and Spock love each other and that just makes me so happy.” And your friend in the nursing home will sigh and say, “Yes. They do love each other. It’s such a comfort.”

That look that Jim and Spock give each other, of absolute adoration and acceptance and love? That’s real. It’s rare, but it’s real. One of my greatest joys in life is to see my son and his husband give each other looks like that. Of course I don’t know you; I don’t know your strengths and struggles or your place on the spectrum of gender or anything about your sexuality or what you look like or what your life has taught you to believe about yourself, but I do know this: YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED AND LOOKED AT THE WAY JIM AND SPOCK LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Please don’t accept less than that in your life.

The future of our planet does not seem very hopeful at the moment. But please remember that when Gene created Star Trek, the world was in turmoil and the future seemed very bleak. Star Trek is, was, always shall be about hope. Reach for it. When TOS first aired, we hoped to see some form of a Starfleet on the horizon in our lifetimes. That vision must be passed on to you. Do it. Make the world worthy of launching the human race out into space. CREATE STARFLEET.

You are all creative and funny and amazing. Far more amazing than you know. Be kind to yourselves. Live long and prosper, kids.

Tags are in reference to my first bullet point. Meant as a kudos to your work, but feel free to untag yourself if you don’t want to be linked to my ramblings; I won’t be offended! (Also, this extends to a thousand other artists and writers out there who deserve kudos. tag at will.)

yes

Spock just needs to stim reblog if you agree

Turbolift anon here. Thanks so much that was exactly what I wanted!

Yay!!! I’m so glad 😊
