Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying “I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store.” The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen’s face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.
One reply says “I understand; I too ‘lost track’ of my father when he accompanied me to the Vulcan Learning Centre in a garish and unnecessary shade of grey”
Replies are split between Vulcans agreeing he took the correct course of action and humans begging to see a “garish and unnecessary shade of grey”
imagine being a rando civilian ds9 resident trapped behind forcefields as the station slowly ratchets up to blow itself to pieces in civil defense and then you look up and see the local tailor powerwalking irritably towards ops while the lockdown parts for him like the red sea before moses. and he’s presumably caught in a permanent eye roll over every ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS as he goes

Normalize lying. Normalize cheating and bribing men to cover the crimes of other men. Normalize being an accessory to murder. Normalize being able to live with it. Normalize having a guilty conscience, which is a small price to save the Alpha Quadrant.
Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you’ll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot. our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun!
i think star trek should write an in universe reason why some series don’t have swearing and some do. make it a universal translator glitch or something.
the captain of each ship can turn the swears on or off when they want to
Kirk would have kept the swears on but any ship carrying Dr. Leonard McCoy is required by Starfleet regulations to turn them off
But then it really got complicated, especially when Garak’s addiction and despair began to surface. He needed someone to share it with.
