concept: t’pring and michael were childhood friends. t’pring views michael as a big sister figure and comes to her for advice. whenever spock and t’pring interact, spock always drags michael with him at t’pring’s casual request. they all space-skype each other and gossip about mutual acquaintances while sipping hot chocolate from champagne flutes.
advanced concept: T’Pring had a huge lesbian crush on Michael
t’pring: spock your sister has aesthetically pleasing features and a gifted mind. i would trust her logic on most things
spock: please refrain from this topic.
t’pring: it is logical to discuss her merits. she is heavily involved in both of our lives. is she going to be here today? where is sh
Star Trek: Discovery will feature an updated Original Series uniform in season 2, and here’s the deal: Those classic Starfleet minidresses should definitely be unisex.
While modern audiences often view the Starfleet minidress as a sexist relic, miniskirts had different connotations in the 1960s. In her autobiography Beyond Uhura, here’s what actress Nichelle Nichols had to say:
“The show was created in the age of the miniskirt, and the crew women’s uniforms were very comfortable. Contrary to what many may think today, no one really saw it as demeaning back then. In fact, the miniskirt was a symbol of sexual liberation. More to the point, though, in the twenty-third century, you are respected for your abilities regardless of what you do or do not wear.”
When The Next Generation began in 1987, the creators struggled between two conflicting desires. They wanted to be forward-thinking, but they also wanted to put Deanna Troi in sexy, figure-hugging outfits. Their solution was to make the minidress into a unisex item, with male extras wearing similar outfits. It didn’t last, but in 2019, it’s time to try again. By making minidresses available to any gender, Discovery would give Uhura’s classic look a truly meaningful update.
noah fence but star trek did That Thing again… u know the one where people r explicitly bisexual in the Evil Universe when they r either straight or their sexuality is not explored otherwise
Michael Burnham in the mirror universe: this place is a dark, twisted nightmare… it could change the very core of me if i do not guard myself, it could corrupt my righteous soul… or has this universe warped my heart already…??
Benjamin Sisko in the mirror universe: Oh My Fuck not THIS place again
stamets injecting himself with the tardigrade dna in an all-or-nothing attempt to control the spore drive, motivated by scientific curiosity as well as compassion for another living being he barely knows anything about while disobeying a direct order and almost dying is THE most star trek thing I could think ofÂ
Also please let’s remember that he straight up lied to the person he loves in order to keep them safe and that is just star trek through and through!
He never talked about his brother until he stole the Enterprise and tried to find Vulcan God which is still, hilarious
He never talks about his family unless a member is right in front of him.Â
T’Pring on screen: This is T’Pring, my wife.
Amanda and Sarek come aboard the Enterprise: They are my parents.
Sybok kidnaping 3 embassadors: Ah, look, he’s my brother…
Spocko, dear, stop doing this
Jim: Why do you have a birthday card from Michael Burnham?? Isn’t she the lady who was blamed for starting the Klingon war? She is famous. What the?!
Spock: Yeah she is my sister
Jim (and Bones who somehow travelled 7 floors to be next to Jim in 2 seconds): WHAT THE FUCK SPOCK
Can we go a day with no wypipo bullshit? 🙄🙄
No, please don’t call these people “fans.” They’re not fans, they’re racists who want to start shit. Real Star Trek fans have no issues with diversity. This is the SAME show that gave Nichelle Nichols the role of Uhura in an unprecedented show of social progress. This is the same show that featured one of the best, strongest female characters and captains of all time (Janeway), etc. Don’t call these ugly racists “fans,” because fans of Star Trek appreciate it almost ENTIRELY for its progressive imagining of a society with equality for all people, with a sense of community, with scientific progress, with a complete absence of capitalism, racism, and sexism.Â
Call a spade a spade: these are ugly white racists who don’t know shit about Star Trek.
Like, I don’t wanna hear a SINGLE PEEP from these racist, nationalist douchebags about my perfect Socialist-Utopian-Future-Humanity-With-Equality-For-All show.
They can SIT THE FUCK DOWN! Y’all ugly racists ruined this nation, but y’all ain’t fucking ruining Star Trek too!
Deep Space Nine starred a black man, a black child, a brown man, a bunch of aliens, and exactly one white man.
Voyager starred two white women, a native man, an Asian man, a half-Latina woman, some aliens, a hologram, and exactly one white man.
This was over 20 years ago. What franchise have they been watching?
Exactly!

Someone needs to make an “IDIC Motherfuckers!!” pin or badge or something!
