I haven't avatarposted in a while but I would like to say that thinking Zuko's cool is like, level 1 understanding. And easier if you're younger than him when you're watching it. I got older and realized he's just extremely 16 years old. He's so angry and a little bit cringefail. He shoots fire out of his hands and has swords and shit which is pretty cool though

If you're <16 and see a 16 year old doing backflips you automatically think this is the coolest motherfucker in the world. But then you get older and realize this is just some guy with problems. Don't get me wrong I still love him so much though

Now Aang was cool. That kid was alright

Maybe the in-universe explanation for starfleet swapping the red/gold uniforms is because everyone started making redshirt jokes & there weren't enough people signing up for security/engineering anymore. Because they thought they would die

Security and engineering are still the most dangerous divisions to be in. But at least their shirts aren't red anymore

Anonymous asked:

Why did Kira keep getting hooked up with random men when she was clearly a lesbian?

Real talk? It was the '90s. Paramount wasn't ready for LGBTQ+ Kira.

If you want an in-universe explanation, remember that Kira's pretty conservative religiously and socially, and probably more than a little repressed.

Thinking serenely about the time I proposed that in the world of Star Trek, extremely online Klingons are loosely organized into violently opposing camps based on whether they consider it appropriate to post fanfiction where someone behaves dishonorably

[ID: Good Omens gifset. It shows Aziraphale driving in the yellow Bentley, as Crowley says, "My car is not yellow. It has never been yellow. It is not going to start being yellow now! Change it back!" It then cuts to a scene where Crowley isn't wearing his sunglasses, captioned "*has the most pretty yellow eyes*". It then cuts back again to Aziraphale replying, with a pouty face, "but it's pretty".

Following is a hashtag that reads, "this was so romantic of Aziraphale" in caps. End ID]

Please imagine some warrior culture (e.g. Klingons) getting super into video game esports in a relatively war-less setting and just getting insane about it

Like everyone at first thinks "haha, they probably don't understand video games because they're a bunch of bloodthirsty brutes" and it's a fuckin Space Orc Sweep at the Space Esports Tournament. Orc Devin, a scrawny nerd of an orc, gets absolutely HOISTED by his yoked-to-the-nines parents who are just so proud that their weakest son is their most victorious warrior. His fighting is done with more finesse, battling with his hands, mind, and eyes instead of RIPPLING BICEPS and POWERFUL GUTS and BARREL-CRUSHING THIGHS, but he battles nonetheless. His space hometown honors him with his own sword and a plaque. They rent out a space billboard bragging about how Orc Devin kicked everyone's asses and was the Most Badass Motherfucker in this cool new digital warfare they are now starting to get probably too-into as a culture.

WHERE NATURE DID NOT FAVOUR HIM AT BIRTH, HE SOUGHT OUT BATTLE NONETHELESS.

CRUSHING NOT THE BODIES OF HIS OPPONENTS, BUT THEIR VERY MINDS AND SPIRITS.

LIMITED NOT BY THE REACH OF A SWORD, HIS CONQUESTS AND VICTORIES SPAN THE UNIVERSE.

A NOBLE WARRIOR INDEED.

So many of Worf's mannerisms come from him being raised by humans and growing up on Earth, rather than due to him being Klingon. And I think if Chekov ever got to meet Worf it'd be great because they have the same sort of deadpan sarcasm. Worf's sense of humor is so dry that everyone thinks he's serious, even when he's not.

...and Chekov's biggest running joke is that he likes to just say things that obviously aren't true.

It really strikes me the same way that subtle humor gets lost in translation, especially when using a computer. With everyone in the federation using a universal translator anyways, I can imagine jokes could still be a problem. It would be so funny if they got to meet, and the rest of the Enterprise crew suddenly realized "Wait. That isn't just a Klingon thing? Worf's not being serious? It was a joke?"

The same way that Spock makes snarky remarks under the guise of it being a "Vulcan thing", Worf and Chekov do it too.

[Image description: a gifset from Star Trek: The Next Generation showing Q in a grey top and dark green top underneath. He is on the bridge and looking down as he says, “What must I do to convince you people?”

Worf has his arms crossed and a serious expression, he says, “Die.”

Riker looks up at Worf and smirks, Picard looks away from Q.

Q looks at Worf and says, “Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?”
