One Awesome Thing About Being A Star Trek Fan Is That Because Its Old And Culturally Important/popular

One awesome thing about being a Star Trek fan is that because it’s old and culturally important/popular it’s constantly referenced in other forms of media and it makes me so so happy to spot these references whether they are subtle or not. It’s got me grinning from ear to ear that I can link these things together.

Twitch ads are fucking insane, why are u trying to make me watch SEVEN ads in a row??? Absolutely not man

I love how Ariana Griande has her own fanbase still despite her only appearing in season 6 very briefly. Thats so awesome. Also Grian on stream (not his and I cannot remember whose for the life of me) saying Ariana Griande is a funny joke when somebody mentioned it like he didn’t create it is so funny to me, while also being like holy shit ive been watching hermitcraft for awhile now if he’s forgotten.

I must be a fake star trek fan cause why did I only now realise that “pig me up Scotty” was a Star Trek reference. Usually I go ballistic when a hermit makes a star trek reference or talks about it but this one went completely over my head lmao.

I go feral everytime I’m allowed to talk about whatever I’m obsessed with at the current time (rn it’s star trek and hermitcraft) to the point I cannot articulate myself properly and basically just end up at “I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, LOVE IT TOO PLS PLS PLS.” The serotonin that floods my brain is so powerful I actually malfunction.

I love my sibling so much for putting up with me man (Also discovered they aren’t constantly consumed by thoughts of star trek like I am, actually devastated)

Back on to complain.

Watched the kelvin timeline/aos/2009/JJ Abrahams movies recently. I enjoyed them (not as much as the tos movies but that’s because they are my babies). However, the scene where little Spock is getting picked on and then punched in the face by the other vulcan child really pisses me off. Why? Well he started bleeding green from his very clearly pink/red lips. WHY COULDN’T THEY HAVE PUT EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF MAKEUP ON THE VULCANS?? (Obviously they probably are wearing makeup just not the right stuff but that just makes it worse so I’m ignoring it) I don’t want them to be like bright green or anything but their blood is copper based and is meant to be green. NONE OF THESE VULCANS SHOULD LOOK EVEN REMOTELY PINK TINGED. If they can smear Data silver in the 1990s and put makeup on the tos vulcans (not to mention Keenser who is literally in the same movies), why couldn’t they do it in 2009? Why are my vulcans even a little bit pink??? Their blood isn’t red at all man. Like was this meant to make them seem more attractive or some shit? It feels weird to me and makes the vulcans feel less interesting. This isn’t even mentioning the fact that the vulcans seem a lot less controlled. The vulcans are meant to be a cool society of people heavily different but no less interesting than us. Why are we making them seem more human?
