I don’t watch Star Trek but I’ve talked it over with some Star Treks and I think the next Star Trek crew member should be a potted plant. Just a weird looking little succulent or w/e in a pot, with wheels and a hawkings-style voice synth. Their badge or whatever can be a lil tree ornament. Low budget, no actor required character that will be instantly iconic. Whoever owns Star Trek write me a goddamn check.
They are an important member of this crew with many responsibilities!!!!!!!!
Remember I know nothing about Star Trek
I love this for two reasons: 1) it would be awesome to have a sentient plant with an accessibility device on a starship, 2) from a meta standpoint, the brilliance of having a literal (non-sentient) plant as an actor/character who audiences WOULD attach to and create stories for and care about…it’s just, the height of human storytelling, and I mean that in a non-ironic way.
trying to decide if i’d rather be a tortoise or a turtle. on the one hand I prefer dry land, on the other hand turtles can breathe out of their cloacae so. it’s tricky
hmm have you considered something like a snapping turtle? can live on dry land if it wants to and just go to the water for a nice splash splash

OFMD is like such a gay person fantasy like you spend your whole life as some silly little guy who gets mocked at every turn for everything you love and then all of a sudden this really hot person shows up like “YOOO, this shits cool as hell!!” and also they’re madly in love with you.
“I’m sorry. But I’ve always wanted a pet.” “That’s not a pet. It’s a monster, and we’re not keeping it.” “But I already named it!” “Let me guess… ‘Blue’.”
