The only good thing about Q’s appearance on Deep Space Nine is how he literally never came back after Sisko punched him
ds9 fans blaming rick berman for all the misogyny & homophobia in ds9 is getting a little old tbh like i have no doubt he played a significant part in the misogyny & homophobia but it wasn’t JUST him. he didn’t do that all by himself. especially not on ds9 which he was less involved in after the first few seasons cause he was working on voyager & the tng movies. a tv show isn’t made by 1 person and it takes a culture of misogyny & homophobia among the writers, producers, etc to have that be very present onscreen. blaming it all on berman is easy and fun but it’s not an accurate picture of what actually happened. the misogyny & homophobia in ds9 come from a lot of sources, and berman is a significant one, but he’s not the only one
there’s a whole lot of life left to live. a lot more art to make. a lot more love to give. a lot more oceans to see.
star trek is best when the characters are allowed to hate their jobs
The thing that’s saddest to me about paramount plus grabbing star trek off Netflix isn’t like that it makes it harder for us to watch star trek. People that want to watch it will find a way. For me, the saddest part is that there will be fewer and fewer new fans.
Growing up I watched TNG reruns and a bit of VOY, but that was it. I wouldn’t be writing thousands of words of garashir if DS9 hadn’t been on Netflix in January of 2020.
Regardless of if you like or appreciate my writing, I think the fandom is stronger for having more people in it. This change limits the potential number of new fans dramatically.
the idea that meds/therapy can’t fix problems caused by situational/societal issues can coexist with the idea that meds and therapy can be very helpful for many people and shouldn’t be demonized or presented as useless for risk of scaring people away that might really benefit
here’s the thing about adulthood-
you will go for like three months with nothing happening and you’re bored as hell and then in the span of two weeks eight different things happen at once - some fantastic and some shitty and some just plain bonkers - and you’re just running around like a chicken with your head cut off and no clue what the fuck is going on
What is a Casserole
Guy Fieri: The challenge is to make a casserole!
Robert Irvine: *presents the judges with what looks like a fine-dining meat and potatoes dish*
Robert Irvine: Here, I’ve made something I call the “components of a casserole.”
Judge: …well it sure EATS like a casserole…
My Midwestern ass: THAT IS NOT A FUCKING CASSEROLE, YOU DO NOT MAKE CASSEROLE A FINE DINING DISH, IF YOU DIDN’T BAKE IT IN A CASSEROLE PAN OR USE ONE CAN OF CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP, IT IS NOT FUCKING CASSEROLE.
