thought this scene could use some background music

Okay, so first I found this 👆 and died, it's just brilliant, but frankly, the montage aside, I still have not fully recovered from the fact that this is an actual scene from the show.

But today I learned that the actors, Alexander Siddig (Bashir) and Andrew Robinson (Garak), actually performed a Garashir fanfic, available on YouTube. It's a real thing that really happened! God bless Star Trek fandom, I guess.

Actually, Star Trek has so much unresolved sexual tension in its canon, even for heterosexual couples, that it shouldn't be surprising that the actors themselves would ship the characters they play.

It wouldn't shock me if Jonathan Frakes (and Marina Sirtis?) ship Riker/Troi, it seems that Siddig and Robinson ship Garashir, is there something else like this in the broad ST fandom? Let me know!

this idea has been sitting in my head for so long hfkdnifks i finally got it out. Their friendship?? is everything to me!!

why do people try to pit star wars and star trek against each other when we all know damn well jim kirk would be all over that psychic twink with a laser sword

OP you are so wise

The meeting of James. T. Kirk and Obi-Wan “Always Fucking Flirting” Kenobi would be AMAZING.

@shoujocowboy

this is EXACTLY the wars v. trek discourse i wanted on my dashboard

I was thinking Kirk and Luke, but of course Kirk is in the prequel era and then Luke’s time is TNG.

Riker would be all  over that psychic twink with a laser sword

Riker would take that psychic twink with a laser sword home to Troi

@blackkatmagic

Spock would definitely try to analyse The Force and get into debates with the Jedi.

I wanna see Klingons vs Mandalorians.

Star Trek: Picard | NYCC Trailer

It’s that time of the year again :)

This is amazing, omg, how have I never seen this before??? 💓💓💓

Ranking the TNG crew solely on how likely they are to fuck their clone

7. Picard. Not only would NOT fuck his clone but would admonish anybody that was trying to. He’s not generally anti horny rights but he is in specific situation where too many Shenanigans are involved. This makes him a great foil to Q.

6. Worf. Is a little weirded out by others wanting to fuck their clones when you can FIGHT your clone!! That’s the ultimate battle, PLUS it lets you outwardly deal with some of your inner turmoil. Thinks that anyone who choses fuck over fight is a coward and a fool. The fighting CAN be interlaced with a bit of eroticism but that’s not the POINT of it. 

5. Data. It’s not that he’s fundamentally against fucking clones or even specifically his own clone, but there’s enough bad associations with Lore that he generally avoids people with the same face as him.

4. Geordi. Is completely neutral on clone fucking. Not against it, not for it, whether or not he would fuck his own clone would depend on the circumstance really. No matter what would get permission from Data, his husband, first.

3. Bev Crusher. She’s a Milf and she knows it. She’s not gonna actively seek out out fucking her clone but she sure as hell isn’t gonna avoid the oppurtunity if it comes up. Scientific curiosity would drive her to do it, let ALONE her inherent sexiness.

2.Deanna Troi: *Deanna troi voice* personally clone fucking has always been a fantasy of mine

1. Riker: Clone fucking is Riker’s end all be all. He specifically joined Starfleet because he heard that all sorts of messy nonsense happens on the Enterprise (he read a LOT of Kirk’s personal logs) and figured getting on that ship was the best way to shoot his shot. As soon as he gets to properly fuck one or more of his clones he can die a happy man according to me just now. 

Bonus: Q. Has fucked his clone, will fuck his clone, can fuck his clone again. Will provide other’s clone to fuck because that’s how pro clone fucking he is. Is pro horny rights SPECIFICALLY when there’s too many Shenanigans involved, making him a perfect lover foil to Picard.

i am so sorry

TNG cast before Star Trek

OMG, they're look so much better in the Star Trek series (exept LeVar, he's always a cinnamon roll)
