Cosmic giant!Q and Picard tho. Because if an otherworldly giant being would 'play' with Picard or even the entire Enterprise at first there would be fear to a bit of panic until the realization hits 'oh thats just Q. He must be really bored and/or lonely right now.'

And even Picards protest of not being Qs pet/doll/toy that he can just pick up whenever he wants and that he demands Q put him down/put him and his ship back do not hold a single nuance of fear and only annoyance (which Q takes as encouragement).

bones and spock both strike me as people who are likely to skip breakfast in the morning. they both know better, of course, but some habits are hard to kick. maybe it’s morning nausea, maybe they’re trying to squeeze just a bit more work into their day - who knows

they both notice, however, that jim seems to be a bit twitchier on the days where spock skips breakfast to go to the labs for a bit before reporting to the bridge. or mornings where bones shows up just to have some coffee and nothing else. it’s not super noticeable, they probably only notice because they pay a Lot of attention to him, but he’s just a bit jumpier, a bit more distracted

maybe they discuss it with each other, maybe they both notice it independently. maybe it’s something they noticed about him even before the 5 year mission, but just really fell into place after they semi-established their breakfast routine. he’s usually fine after lunch anyways, and he doesn’t generally get like that if they just skip lunch or dinner. spock tested this, of course. logically.

so it’s probably not worth worrying about; just a weird little quirk of their captain’s. but they start trying to be a bit better about making themselves eat at least an apple or something with jim before work every morning. it seems to get better, and the new habit is mostly sticking, so they kinda stop thinking about it

that doesn’t last, of course. ‘conscience of the king’ happens. they learn about jim and kodos and tarsus, and now all of a sudden the prospect of jim being in a weird mood whenever the two of them skip breakfast seems to be a much higher priority.

because if they skip breakfast, jim has no way of knowing for certain if they’ve eaten anything until at least lunch - if not dinner, if they’re too busy to have a proper lunch break together. jim, who probably regularly went without food to make absolutely sure that kevin riley and the others had something to eat, because making sure everyone else is okay is far more important to him.

i don’t think they really talk about it, after. at least not for another few years. but they stop skipping breakfast.

If you like Barclay de Tolly, but you miss a lot of content with him, and at the same time you love fiction, I absolutely seriously recommend watching Star Trek: The Next Generation Because Picard is Barclay in space, not only similar in appearance, but also in character. Enjoy!

I don't really have anything to say this is stupid

riker in his free time:

TNG: “Who Watches the Watchers”

The Bronze-Age culture of Mintaka III knows nothing about spaceflight or life on other planets.  One of them, Liko, chances to discover a hidden Federation research facility, which has been damaged by equipment failure.  In the ensuing commotion, Liko is gravely injured and taken aboard the Enterprise for treatment.  Efforts to suppress his short-term memory fail, and Liko soon tells his village that he was brought back to life by a pantheon of gods ruled by “The Picard.”

A curious detail about this episode is the choice to portray the Mintakans as resembling Vulcans.  Star Trek heavily relies on the conceit (“Hodgkin’s Law”) of aliens that just happen to look like humans, but I believe this is the first time that reasoning has been extended to aliens that look like other, unrelated aliens.  I’m not sure the idea really added enough to this episode to be worth the potential confusion for casual viewers.  It’s pleasing to see the Mintakans apply empiricism to their predicament, but they didn’t have to have pointy ears and blunt bangs to do that.

Speaking of pointy ears, Riker and Troi employ the old “use cosmetic surgery to disguise ourselves as aliens” trick.  The idea that resembling an alien is as easy as visiting a 20th century television studio’s makeup department was introduced on the original Star Trek series, but sparingly–Kirk got some Romulan ears one time, but the other cases involved alien spies under very deep cover.  In the 1990s, though, Star Trek came to overuse this concept, with the implications becoming increasingly disturbing.  Characters would casually switch from one alien look to another as if it just meant switching prosthetic latex foreheads and not, y’know, carving off chunks of bone and/or grafting on new ones.

This episode is arguably Star Trek’s most damning indictment of religion, and belief in the supernatural altogether.  Captain Picard is obviously opposed to the Mintakans believing he’s a god, since it’s not true and they shouldn’t have encountered him in the first place.  But beyond that, he clearly would not approve of the Mintakans adopting supernatural belief of any kind, with or without alien meddling.  I can’t say I agree with that position, but fortunately Picard doesn’t let it color his dealings with the Mintakans.  He is very clear that he is not a god, rather than proclaiming that there is no god.

The fuzzy definition of “god” opens up a plot hole here, in that Picard’s “proof” that he is not divine is to demonstrate that he is human.  Jean-Luc has a pulse, he is “flesh and blood,” he was born, and he can be wounded or killed.  He’s also named after two biographers of a certain miraculous fella who fits those same criteria, so try again.  Later he emphasizes that his people have no power to truly stop or reverse death, but that really only disqualifies him as a particular type of god.  I find all of this questionable because even if humanity someday transcended corporeal form and conquered death, humans still wouldn’t be gods for the Mintakans to worship, for the same reason Picard doesn’t fall on his knees when Q shows up. 

The best evidence that Picard isn’t a god is that he insists he’s not a god, a point which curiously sails over the heads of the Mintakans.  I guess I can conceive of a situation where a god would deny himself to his own worshippers, but my planet has had millennia to dwell on this sort of thing.  “The supreme being is using reverse psychology to test my faith” is an awfully advanced theological concept for a bunch of villagers who just invented religion this morning.

@yourbuerokrat2 and wonderful @centipede-rain Concept idea

>Season 1, episode 1. Q judges Picard's team. Q says the captain is impertinent and disrespectful. As an apology, he should immediately start kissing and licking Q's shoes with public respect. Otherwise, his team will suffer even more.

____

First, Q stretches out his foot and waves the tip of his toe in front of Picard's face. He remains silent for a long time with his eyes closed. Then, gently, timidly, he touches him lips to the black skin.

A satisfied smile touches the moody curve of Q's lips. He lowers his foot lower, forcing Picard to get down on one knee. And then he puts it on the floor altogether.

Picard is having trouble breathing. He feels his face burning with humiliation. The captain's uniform doesn't have a stiff collar, but it feels like something is constricting his throat. And his lungs felt like they were in a vice. 

An inner instinct tells him that it is better to appease the deity in advance, without waiting for a disgruntled foot twitching.

Picard gets down on his knees and bends his head, touching his cheek to the cold floor. It makes it easier to lick the sides of shoes, not just the toe. The latter became shiny and wet from the captain's zeal.

Eng: I watched an episode of TNG and read the name "Sakharov" on the shuttle. I am from Russia, and I am pleased to see positive references in Western culture. Vicky confirmed my suspicions: According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., p. 426, the Sakharov was named for "Russian nuclear scientist and peace advocate Andre Sakharov (1921-1989)"

Andrei Sakharov is a Soviet theoretical physicist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, public figure, dissident and human rights activist.

One of the creators of the first Soviet hydrogen bomb. People's Deputy of the USSR, author of the draft constitution The Union of Soviet Republics of Europe and Asia. The winner Nobel Peace Prize in 1975.

!

Since the late 1950s, he has actively advocated for the cessation of nuclear weapons testing. A.D. Sakharov expressed his attitude to the question of the justification of possible victims of nuclear tests and, more broadly, human sacrifices in the name of the future in general as follows:

"…Pavlov [the state security general] once told me: — There is a life-and-death struggle going on in the world between the forces of imperialism and communism. The future of humanity, the fate and happiness of tens of billions of people over the centuries depend on the outcome of this struggle. To win this fight, we must be strong. If our work, our trials, add strength to this struggle, and this is extremely true, then no sacrifice of trials, no sacrifice at all, can make a difference here.

Was it insane demagoguery or was Pavlov sincere? It seems to me that there was an element of both demagoguery and sincerity. Something else is more important. I am convinced that such arithmetic is fundamentally wrong. We know too little about the laws of history, the future is unpredictable, and we are not gods. We, each of us, in every case, both "small" and "big", must proceed from specific moral criteria, and not the abstract arithmetic of history. Moral criteria categorically dictate to us — thou shalt not kill!"

Rus: Я смотрела эпизод ТНГ и прочитала название "Сахаров" на шаттле. Я из России, и мне приятно видеть положительные отсылки в западной культуре. Вики подтвердила мои догадки: Согласно энциклопедии «Звездный путь» , 3-е изд., стр. 426, « Сахаров» был назван в честь « российского ученого -атомщика и сторонника мира Андрея Сахарова (1921-1989)»

Андре́й Са́харов — советский физик-теоретик, академик АН СССР, общественный деятель, диссидент и правозащитник.

Один из создателей первой советской водородной бомбы. Народный депутат СССР, автор проекта конституции Союза Советских Республик Европы и Азии. Лауреат Нобелевской премии мира за 1975 год.

!

С конца 1950-х годов он активно выступал за прекращение испытаний ядерного оружия. Своё отношение к вопросу об оправданности возможных жертв ядерных испытаний и — шире — вообще человеческих жертв во имя будущего А. Д. Сахаров выразил так:

«…Павлов [генерал госбезопасности] как-то сказал мне: — Сейчас в мире идёт борьба не на жизнь, а на смерть между силами империализма и коммунизма. От исхода этой борьбы зависит будущее человечества, судьба, счастье десятков миллиардов людей на протяжении столетий. Чтобы победить в этой борьбе, мы должны быть сильными. Если наша работа, наши испытания прибавляют силы в этой борьбе, а это в высшей степени так, то никакие жертвы испытаний, никакие жертвы вообще не могут иметь тут значения. Была ли это безумная демагогия или Павлов был искренен? Мне кажется, что был элемент и демагогии, и искренности. Важней другое. Я убеждён, что такая арифметика неправомерна принципиально. Мы слишком мало знаем о законах истории, будущее непредсказуемо, а мы — не боги. Мы, каждый из нас, в каждом деле, и в „малом“, и в „большом“, должны исходить из конкретных нравственных критериев, а не абстрактной арифметики истории. Нравственные же критерии категорически диктуют нам — не убий!»

Here are some Star Trek arts from a while back

I didn’t realise the star trek fandom was here, then again, tumblr is for fandoms.

“Number one, I know you’re on holo-deck number four!”

A short intro x reader of the robo data above (sfw, no romance):

As you traverse a newly found planet, you find what looks like a much more robotic model of commander Data standing before you. He seems to have been touched with nature, indicating that he hasn’t been operating as frequently as he should. A nearly-empty oil can falls to his feet, and it makes you jump without a sound. His cold LED eyes stare into yours before he blurts out “ANALYZING…”, his static voice is unwelcome to a response. You are hesitant to take another step towards him, so you stand still, anticipating what he might do next. The wisest choice of action is to observe him at a distance far enough to not be his centre of attention.

note: its my first reader. Let me know if you ever want a continuation in the tags or something

Welcome to my twisted mind [Sein-Trek (Star-feld?)]

Q and Picard

THOUGHTS OF Q

I feel very sorry for Q. I really do.

Despite all the omnipotent powers he possesses, including his incredible ability to manipulate Time and Space, he just struggles continuously to win Picard's heart and love,

-and all because of his antics, games, teasing, and his superior attitude towards Picard and other beings.

Knowing Q as well as we do, we know that one of Q's motivations and goals was not to bring harm to Picard, but to teach Picard crucial lessons about himself and existence in order to elevate him above other humans to eventually equal him as a Q.

"I believed in you! I thought you had potential!" (Q to Picard in All Good Things)

And the other motivation and goal he had was because he was so deeply in love with him, and he desperately wanted Picard to love him back.

But Q darling, you really didn't do yourself any favors in your quest to get Picard, did you?

I wish someone would've pulled Q aside in the beginning and explained to him that Picard can't just switch off memories of things that Q had done, including allowing eighteen members of Picard's crew to be killed by the Borg, judging Picard and his crew in the Post-Atomic Horror courtroom for crimes of Humanity, and all the other crazy stuff, and just expect this human to fall passionately into his arms and surrender himself to him.

Q really hurt his chances with Picard from the very beginning.

Furthermore, Picard is extremely stubborn in his view of enemies. It takes a serious and consistent show of effort to convince Picard to at least entertain the notion of a better alliance between The Federation and an enemy.

It's strange how he leaves an occasional door cracked open for the Romulans or Cardassians (Maybe there will be peace between our cultures--that sort of thing 🙄)

But, Q? Not so easy.

I think the only other "enemy" Picard is most resistant to is The Borg.

Boy, is that sad.

Picard does relax a few times for Q here and there in some episodes, including Deja Q ("Perhaps there's a residue of humanity in Q after all"), Q-pid, Tapestry, and All Good Things. As I've said before and as we've seen, Picard doesn't put up much resistance against Q when Q is trying to come on hard to him.

But, Q really made things difficult for himself in his pining after Picard from the get-go.

Q was really a very lonely entity, and from the way he was described by other Qs, he was always in trouble, and being reprimanded and cast out.

I think he was, to a degree, on probation, perhaps, being given assignments like in True Q and in All Good Things.

I'm so glad Q confessed his feelings for Picard in the end in Star Trek Picard, though.

Picard knew about Q's desire and love for him much earlier than ST:PIC . He knew.

But, how could such an upstanding paragon of virtue and duty like Jean-Luc Picard EVER love someone like Q?

О, интересно, есть ли это на русском? Что... О_о. Нененене, это не может быть настоящим сериалом! Вы шутите, это же выглядит так всрато и похоже на то, шоу, которое они смотрели в Собачьем Завтраке? Это же шутка, правда? Нет?

Oh, I wonder if it's in Russian? What… oh. Nnononono, this can't be a real TV show! Are you kidding, its look so bad and similar to the show they watched at the A Dog's Breakfast? It's a joke, right? No?

Окей, я видела теории, что какая-то часть экспедиции Атлантис могла быть потомками Януса. Ок да, кажется, я точно кто его потомок. 1) Добрый 2) Не мудак 3) Волчьи уши 5) Нарушил приказ, чтобы защитить людей Контр аргументируйте 4) Любит Вейр АЗАЗАЗА Просто подумайте, о том, что Янус не смог быть рядом с его итерацией Вейр, не смог узнать её ближе. Но Джон будучи его потомком смог и смог защищать её. Okay, I've seen theories that some part of the Atlantis expedition could be descendants of Janus. I think I'm exactly who his descendant is. 1) Kind 2) Not an asshole 3) Wolf ears 5) Violates the order of his superiors to save people. I am waiting for your counter arguments 4) He loves Weir OLOLOLOL Just think about the fact that Janus couldn't be around his iteration of Weir, couldn't get to know her better. But John, being his descendant, was able to be by her side and was able to protect her.
