Alternative readings are good, I say, while grinding my teeth because I don’t like this particular one

gffa:

It makes for a healthy fandom ecosystem to have a variety of takes, I say, while halfway to seethingly daydreaming how I would carpet bomb this take out of existence if I could.

I wonder if Stammets could have been used as a precedent case in una’s defence at the trial had the entire discovery thing not been swept under the rug? Because they let him stay in starfleet and certainly didn’t arrest him because his self genetic modification helped them in the war. And Spock will have known that. But also couldn’t say anything about it either. 

#snw#discovery#also stamets was very deftly manipulated into doing that so not he Shouldn't have faced any consequences#beyond that rather Epic trip he went on for like half an entire season#can't believe i was like 'oh fuck no not the asshole genius white guy trope' in s1#only for them to change tone by making him so sky high he left the bitchiness with genuine venom in it behind#wild

absolutely hilarious that i’m trying to look at sources linked on a post bc i’m actually interested on reading more about something and the two on there are A) a news article behind a paywall and B) …. Twitter. 

hm yeah so maybe not then

This is so stupid I can't even begin to fathom it

So Twitter is not a public site anymore. I hope every public figure stop using it ASAP.

#they plateaued in awfulness for enough time that i forgot that the#dumpster fire was still alight#damn#also i feel vaguely old bc waaaaay back in the day wasn't twitter not public to start with?#or at some point anyway#it annoyed the crap out of me that i had to get an account at the time#bc i viewed the site as that looser site my sister is obsessed with bc she's old#which is now super funny#now she just whole ass posts weird conspiracy theories divorced from reality to her name on fb#wild

i don’t actually ship anything on snw, but i am pro the spaghetti mess of random ships that have weird tension that’s going on here, so I have to say. I now need La’an to meet some set of circumstances that leads to her kissing Spock Just so we can pat her on the back for getting both of them. She can get an achievement badge or something. 

#snw#snw spoilers#or go big or go home#la'an kisses everybody achievement badge#she kisses sam and tells him his brother's better at it#her and chapel have that weird tipsy one night stand one time but neither of them are weird about it#and nobody knows other than them actively bc they weren't weird about it

Imagine being Pike. You go away for three days to hire a lawyer for your first officer so she’s not either kicked out of starfleet or worse, sent to evil space jail just for being who she is and not accepting being a second class citizen. When you left your crew was short of a first officer, chief of security, and a chief engineer. 

The chief science officer however used those three single days you were gone to A) steal the ship, B) manage to pick up the old chief of security who was on a sabbatical and have her return, and C) Also finds a new engineer for the ship. He met her as she aided him in stealing the ship because she was bored. She turns out to be a friend of his mum’s. 

You are now left having an ethical debate on the bridge with said bored now engineer (she used to be in retail okay) on your ship over whether there is a statute of limitations on the theft of historical artefacts. She is insistent that there is but she Would be. The chief of security, the one in charge of rules and crimes, randomly shows up a bit out of it and in weird clothes and just says to brush it off and ignore it. 

Pike’s had a weird week or so, s’all i’m saying. 

Luckily the lawyer managed to get his first officer reinstated so he’s not having to deal with the herd of cats that are his crew alone.
