she or they pronouns pls :) I made this account because I’m a bit too obsessed with Strange New Worlds at the moment, but I’m probably gonna use this for all kinds of fandom shenanigans (Whoops, this is my main account now since the other instance I was on got deleted)
Is everyone just commenting because of the instance I signed up on?! (Hi to the other Star Trek person, I see you ;)) I mean I welcome it, but I fear you’ll have to wait a few years before rail has warp drive, roughly until the 23rd century…
(Also disclaimer for everyone who reads this; I didn’t make this meme and I can’t remember where I downloaded it, I just thought this is perfect 196 material, but if the OP sees this and wants it removed I’ll do so of course)
I joined the ‘original’ community shortly before the split happened and while it was sad to see I do like the memes and vibes here, merci très much everyone :)
… which is almost the same number of times “Pump up the jam” is being sung in the 1989 one-hit wonder of the same name by Belgian duo “Technotronic”.

Let me preface this with the fact that this is no way meant to hate of Star Trek:
I can’t remember if it was season 1 or 2 of SNW, but there were multiple episodes where Uhura spoke about different dialects of a language. And I think that’s technically what aliens would consider all languages that are spoken on earth as well; dialects of each other. So the in-universe explanation is that the Federation was founded by humans and therefore thinks of languages on earth as languages and every other planet only has different dialects, not languages. Linguistically it’s rather vague what constitues as a language and what is a dialect.
The ‘normal’ explanation is one of the imperialism of the English language and American exceptionalism (Aliens of one planet all speak one ‘weird’ other language, while we all speak very ‘normal’ English on our planet).
OP are you making these yourself? Or do you know where they come from? This really tickles my funny bone, I love them Claire’s memes.

Eating good Falafel/Sushi/Asian/Middle-Eastern cuisine.
A good workout/feeling completely exhausted after doing martial arts.
Being able to help other people.
And because of your username: playing TotK.
The SNW courtroom episode made me cry so hard, I loved it.
I’m curious what made season 2 low quality for you, can you elaborate on that? I also finished season 2 yesterday, currently giving Discovery another try on my journey to watch all of Star Trek since I watched it as it was releasing but I stopped halfway through because the Terran Empire thing was difficult to keep track of for me at the time (probably because it helps my memory if I can watch an episode a day and don’t have to wait a week for the next one to keep track of the storyline). My rewatch made me a pretty big fan though and don’t really understand the hate it got/gets in the fanbase.
