Writing in a coffee shop. In the study area there’s me, 7 other girls, and 1 dude whose name is probably Chad. Because Chad is the way that he is, he zeroes in on a pretty girl with her laptop out & headphones on and his thought process is like, “She totally wants me to talk at her for 20 minutes.”
So he chats her up, and when he’s about to leave he asks for her number. She politely says no. He’s all, “Then why did you talk to me? What’s your problem?” etc and finally stomps off in a huff like the grown ass man he is. His parting shot: “Well, GOOD LUCK making it as an actor.” (After which I’m assuming he high fived himself and whispered, “Nice one Chad.”)
After he leaves, there’s like 5 seconds of silence before EVERY SINGLE GIRL in the study area just fucking CRACKS UP. It was the purest moment of human connection I have ever experienced. We are laughing our asses off. We are imitating Chad’s whiny pissbaby voice. I ask the pretty girl if that actually just happened. She says yes it did. I say, bullet fuckin’ DODGED babe. She laughs. I am reborn. We are all reborn. I don’t know what Chad was working on in this coffee shop, but there is a 100% chance it was 1. a screenplay, and 2. a remake of The Great Gatsby, but like it’s for millennials and a milquetoast white guy named Brent has a threesome with 2 beautiful hipster girls who both fall in love with him. It’s titled BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT and it, like Chad’s love life, will never take off.
Happy International Women’s Day
do you ever wish you could just stop time for like a couple weeks so you could just sleep and do whatever you want and just get your shit together and then after that time would just start back up again and you wouldn’t have missed anything because you would just pick up where you left off
I kinda wish that at some point we would’ve had an episode where the Universal Translator went down. I mean, one would assume that Starfleet has a common language (probably English) for such instances, so a episode like that wouldn’t really work on TOS, TNG or ENT, but DS9 and VOY…
Kira would get so frustrated that none of the senior staff speak Bajoran, except Odo, who is also fluent in Cardassian.
Quark knows enough Bajoran, Cardassian, English and few other languages to ensure his business runs smoothly.
Given that Julian’s mother likely from an Arabic speaking country, and given that with his intelligence he could learn any language he wants, maybe sometimes he slips into Arabic when getting excited over things without realizing it. O’Brien thinks of telling him that he’s doing it again, but he finds it’s sometimes kind of nice to not have any idea what he’s saying.
Garak is fluent in a ridiculous amount of languages. The things one hears when doing altercations, man.
Rom surprises the heck out of everyone when it turns out he can speak really great English. He says he’s been learning since 1947.
Ezri tends to start a sentence in one language, and ends it with another. Dax has learned a lot of them over the centuries. Trying to talk to her can be kind of a nightmare…
As for Voyager, everyone probably got a lot more relaxed when it came to not bothering speaking English and just rely on the UT.
Harry’s parents have strong Asian (presumably Chinese) accents and him being the brilliant prodigy that he is it would be reasonable to assume that he speaks the same language they do. If so, maybe he starts off speaking English because that’s the Starfleet thing to do, but as the years go by he finds himself speaking his parents’ language more often, it sort of makes him feel closer to them, in a way. He gets very embarrassed the first time he accidentally speaks anything besides English on the bridge.
Tuvok sometimes falls back into Vulcan for the same reasons, but he’d never admit it. Not even when he does it in front of Tom, who teases him about it until it dawns on him that he does it because he misses his wife.
It’s not clear where B’Elanna’s human family comes from, other than they’re of Hispanic origin. It’s entirely possible that they spoke English, however if they didn’t that would leave B’Elanna speaking Spanish, a little Klingon, and a little English, depending on how far she got in the English courses at the Academy.
Kes picks up things really fast, she probably had English down in a matter of weeks.
Neelix knows at least a little bit of everything the crew speaks, English, Spanish, Chinese, Bolian, Bajoran, etc. The amount of Vulcan he can speak makes Tuvok uncomfortable.
Seven can speak a wide variety of languages. She is Borg.
a) i love this post b) i want seven to speak like google translate. implants, after all!

Idk why everyone thinks Slytherins are all evil bc they’re ambitious when in most cases ambition really just leads to shoving a whole pizza in your mouth because some hoe said you couldn’t.
#slytherin is the house of stubbornly completed dares that probably weren’t thought through the whole way

the deeper i get into fandom the weirder it is to me that Whedon-style nerdboys ever managed to convince people that the True Fans™ are the people who memorize shit and lord their knowledge over other people. like ok you know the exact dimensions of Batman’s cave penny. sure. but did you survive the HP ship wars? do you know how to customize your Ao3 search to filter out all the creepy and/or poorly tagged shit in the massive fandoms? have you ever gotten in a fight over SuperWhoLock? would you last more than ten seconds on _coal or FFA? have you felt the burning pain in your fingers as you scramble to bang out just a hundred more words before the exchange deadline comes down? can you do research to make your in-universe artifacts accurate? can you vid? can you edit .gifs? can you sew costumes and do makeup? like yeah ok you love Jace Beleren enough to know his backstory and all his stats but i’m sorry did you personally stitch what looks like over two hundred eyelets onto your stockings so you could cosplay Liliana Vess? fake geek girls my ass. get back to me when you can do something with the worlds you love other than memorize them.
