"strange new worlds is a serious show"
meanwhile:
- the captain is doing a pirate impression and the first officer looks like she wants to cry
- the chief of security is wondering around in a princess dress with a very very small dog
- the pilot is exclusively replying to the science officer's descriptions with "kaboom"
- the captain is referred to as starfleet's boy scout in his file
- the first officer and chief of security are playing enterprise bingo, which mostly seems to be an excuse to shoot each other with phasers
- the nurse is describing things as giving birth from your mouth to coerce difficult patients into medical treatment
- the captain is using soup to ignite mutiny
- the science officer is bodyswapped with his girlfriend and is using it to punch people he doesn't normally get to punch
- the doctor is treating an alarming amount of arrow wounds for a starship with no arrows
- the cadet is always right and yknow what she's rocking it
- the chief of security is recreationally making ensigns cry
- the first officer is very jealous because only one of them is allowed to make ensigns cry at a time
- the chief engineer is very violently befriending the cadet. it is somehow working
- the captain is cooking, all the time, for the whole crew. nobody has informed him that he is supposed to be captaining this crew, not parenting it, and they do not plan to
everyone becomes at least 50% hotter when dressed for the elysian kingdom
i love that the whole snw fandom watched episode one, promptly forgot pike has a girlfriend, then hit episode ten and was like "oh Shit"
snw au where everything is exactly the same except chris is called pippa. everything else is exactly the same. he's still just some guy btw. just his name's more accurate.
why, you may ask?
pippa means lover of horses. i rest my case.
was writing a bomb-ass scene of my latest fic and it was going super well until i realised i forgot a whole-ass admiral.
una telling chris she's an illyrian has the Exact Same Energy as a kid coming out to their parents as gay. in this essay i will
una: captain, i'm an illyrian
chris, with no hesitation: hi illyrian, i'm chris
IMPORTANT FOR A FIC IM WRITING
what would be la'an's name if she were a guy???
campaign to change the ship name from spirk to kock
look if the musical DOESN'T feature a buffy-i-died-and-went-to-heaven-esque reveal for la'an's fresh new trauma than frankly i don't want it
(that's a lie. i want it so bad, regardless.)
the musical could be so fucking funny for all the obvious reasons but ALSO because we have:
uhura, who loves music and will take this to the extreme
spock, who loves music but not singing
una, who is a gilbert & sullivan nerd and liable to be SO extra about being in an actual!!! musical!!!
la'an, who lied to them all about having a bad singing voice and will be violently exposed
AND the rest of this amazing crew
a list of potential causes for la'an's lying abt being fine in the among the lotus eaters trailer:
episode-specific alien shenanigans
non-episode-specific alien shenanigans
physical harm as a direct result of time/cross-universal travel (similar to georgiou????)
mental harm (that could lead to physical harm) from jimothy's death
a proper exploration of mental illness thru her
and, just bc it reminds me of one (1) torchwood scene: slowly being shot in the head as a result of reviving someone who was shot in the head using her own life force
please add more im so fucking starved of la'an content
confession: there is no way in hell i am not bursting into tears during the musical if la'an sings a single sad line
my poor la'an-obsessed heart has been put through a blender, spat on, drunk through a straw and then stomped on
DELIGHTS me that at no point throughout "i'm ready" does ANYONE reference luck. the whole song is just everyone being like, hell yeah you worked so hard for this you earned it and it makes me so happy
the sheer tonal whiplash of this season has me crying. like! oh, lower decks time travel shenanigans! wait, 'tis the Horrors of War! actually, it's time to sinnnnngggggggggg! hold up actually we're gonna torture fuckin everyone
OH BTW WE'RE COSPLAYING UNA (ME) AND ERICA (epbal)
ME AND exit-pursued-by-a-lesbian ARE AT STAR TREK BIRMINGHAM AYYYY
WE ARE GOING TO MEET CHRISTINA CHONG TERRY FARRELL AND JESH BUSS HOLY S H I T
sees la'an noonien singh *blacks out*
in 205 years, la'an noonien-singh will be born today 🎂
