Realest Thing I Have Seen In A While

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

publishing companies will be like ~ooh this is a hardcover oooh it's so durable that will be $35~ and then you see the actual book and it's like. "perfect"-bound with endbands glued on crooked and a completely plain paper cover under the dust jacket. my dudes this shit is a mass market paperback with delusions of grandeur

What are your thoughts on fabian and riz's friendship dynamic? I love them sm :')

oh man they’re so fun

Fabian does consider Riz to be his best friend but isn’t as good at articulating that as all his other friends are so he doesn’t really say it. But the rare occasions he does mean a lot to Riz.

As much as the Hangman openly hates when Riz rides on him, I think Fabian goes out of his way to drive past Riz’s office on the way to school and gives himself enough time to go in and drag Riz out if he sees the light is still on. Because he knows Riz hates missing school despite how close he comes to it almost daily.

Since everything that happened on Leviathan, Riz will most often attack an enemy that Fabian is in melee with. He’s still dealing with the guilt of not being there to help Fabian when he needed help the most so he unconsciously (or consciously, I’m not sure) attempts to do that every chance he gets.

They do still use the chat that’s just them and Gorgug that they made for the first time in Boys’ Night. Mostly it’s Fabian saying “Riz could you please explain to me what the fuck Adaine is talking about when you get a chance. I stopped listening for a second and now I’m baffled.” But they do have an insane meme “competition” going where they will send memes (usually edited to be about their specific situations) back and forth and whichever ones Gorgug interacts with are winners. Gorgug is unaware of this rule.

they need to make hrt that replaces your skin with metal plates and your internal organs with circuitry

I wanna read this so bad

Quark every few episodes when someone threatens to kill him

My favorite thing about Star Trek is explaining to people who aren't familiar with it exactly how unrepentantly horny it is.

"what do you mean star trek invented the fuck or die trope?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF THE SECOND SEASON?"

They don't even know about Risa the pleasure planet yet 😭 or all the human-alien hybrid characters. Rip Gene Roddenberry you would've loved AO3.

I fucking love reading unhinged scientific literature

dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET?
