the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are
the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don’t seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs
the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years
the Tellarites, who don’t like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and
humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower
like imagine you’re the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who’ve barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others’ guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry
if cilantro tastes like soap to some people why is it such an uncommon soap scent? I feel like things that taste like soap should be soap

I just finished Astarion’s story and boy howdy did this elf with enough baggage to fill a Boeing 747 absolutely destroy my feelings. Very relatable. Incredible writing and performance. And out popped fan art from me…
