K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

They all look like pizza delivery people.

And I love them so much.

AU Plot Bunny, where Sisko is the owner of a Pizza shop. His employees include a medical student, a guy who can fix about anything mechanical, the Dax sisters, a red head with a temper and her boyfriend who is better then a security camera, his son and a grumpy guy who listens to opera.  Next door is a bar owned by Quark, a man obsessed with money and his brother who is really only an owner because Quark’s mom made Quark add him to the lease.  Rom’s girlfriend works at the bar, but occasionally takes a shift at the pizzeria when someone is sick.

They have a few regulars, including a man who Julian, the medical student, swears works for the CIA and a creepy guy who likes to see how long it takes to get Kira to hit him over the head with a Pizza pan.

i just wanted to share with you all what came of posting this

Don’t forget their rival Pizza Delivery service.

This shows the huge denial parts of fandom demonstrates when claiming that Spock is out of character when showing Uhura any kind of affection on the transporter pad… 

Especially after what this full-blooded Vulcan admitted (his father, no less) in those gifs on your right.

Star Trek fandom needs to start actually watching the damn show. It’s not that Vulcans don’t have emotions, they suppress them. And they do this because their emotions are SUPER STRONG. The backstory developed over time that Surak, a long ago leader, advocated the path of logic and no emotion because Vulcans were forever getting in wars with each other because they could not keep a lid on all their emotions ever. The Romulans were all PEACE OUT, we enjoy being passionate and hostile and shit! The rest of the Vulcans learned how to train themselves out of emotions.

But they are never able to rid themselves of those emotions. This is why Pon farr. Every seven years you got to let it all out and have sex, CRAZY SEX. And this is why when Vulcans get sick they get all emotional. So yeah, Spock has emotions, he has love, and he sytruggles with it more because he’s half human NOT because humans have emotions, but because humans have not had centuries of training to back up this logic business, which i’m sure has physiological effects, too.

Also, fandom just needs to quit being so damn racist.

This was that episode when Star Trek address homosexuality is the worst allegory EVER. EVER.

Can we all just agree that the greatest tech advancement in Star Trek is a universal video format? Klingon ships, Romulan ships, Vulcan ships, Human ships … not once does a captain say “On screen,” followed by a plugin error message.

(some guy on Facebook, anonymously quoted on reddit)

“Stand by, Captain — it says we need to update the Java plugin so we can run GoToMeeting.”

“Why didn’t they just use WebEx?”

“The Romulans must not have a license for it.”

“But it’s free. Isn’t it?”

“If they’d Skyped in, we could’ve just used the ship’s webcam.”

“Captain, the warbird doesn’t show up on my list of Facetime contacts.”

“I think we need to sync our address book.”

“We should’ve just used Tinychat.”

“Why don’t we start a Google Hangout?”

“Shut up, Wesley.”

I had been begging to direct an episode since season one and my chance to collaborate with Michael Westmore on “Genesis” was the best. He should have won an Emmy for his work in that. It was brilliant. I also got to direct one of my favorite scenes with one of my favorite cast members… Spot. That moment when he is behind the couch? I’ve never seen any cat play it so fierce, yet understated. —Gates McFadden [x]
