ok but on that note do tardises have any form of complex language? what is their limit on communication with gallifreyans? Is this different for their pilots? do they talk with other time ships. do they gossip
This is making me really want to hear a conversation between a TARDIS and a Prophet.

I want to write a fic where Lilo goes to college and her roommate is Boo from Monsters Inc. Boo is the first person to think Stitch is adorable and cuddly, and Lilo is the first person not to act like “Mike Wazowski” was a weird name for a goldfish. They get on like a house on fire which is kind of bad for Nani’s blood pressure.
But then one night they wake up in the middle of the night because something is in their closet. And the door starts to creak open so Stitch tackles whoever (whatever) is in there. They fall back into the closet, the door slams shut… and when Lilo runs over and opens it there’s nothing but an empty closet.
Then Boo tells Lilo all about this weird thing that happened to her when she was a kid, and how no one ever believed her but she knows it was real.
And cue Lilo and Boo busting into the Monster world to rescue Stitch and wreaking mad havoc in the process.
Oh my god. I need this like I need coffee in the morning.

In response to ameliarating’s point that holiday AU suggestions fandom posts tend to be CHRISTMAS AU suggestions fandom posts, may I present:
- “I know you’re just trying to take a smoke break but we ran out of matches and it’s Chanukah can I steal you for five minutes” AU
- “We both forgot to buy candles until the last minute and now there’s only one box left in the store” AU
- “My friend dragged me to their grandma’s ridiculous sufganiyot party and I don’t know anyone here but holy crap that person’s cute” AU
- “We are out of potatoes we are OUT OF POTATOES the latkes aren’t done this is not a drill please help” AU
- “I accidentally set the kitchen on fire frying things and you are an attractive firefighter” AU
- “What do you mean you’ve never played strip dreidel LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS PERVERSION OF THE GAME” AU
- “We’re the only two people at this office ‘holiday’ party who seem uncomfortable with the way it’s all transparently Christmas stuff so let’s talk over here in a corner about how much we hate everything” AU
- “This Chinese restaurant is so crowded on Christmas Eve do you mind if we share a table?” AU
- “You seriously want me to teach you how to knit, just to make ugly Chanukah sweaters and prove a point?” AU
- “I agree with you that Chanukah is a minor holiday that we’re only making a big deal out of because of cultural forces surrounding Christmas but since we’re already at this youth group party in the synagogue basement do you maybe want to dance? :D?” AU
MORE JEWISH AUs, PLEASE. (Feel free to prompt me any of these for the MCU. My feelings on Jewish Bucky Barnes should be known at this point, but if not, Jewish Bucky Barnes is everything.)

#Judaism #Hanukkah #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #’what do you mean you’ve never played strip dreidel’
I saw a post complaining about the lack of Hanukkah-themed stuff during the spate of holiday (= Christmas) fanworks that start appearing ‘round this time, and I realized that sadly, in the Star Trek universe this makes sense. because Christmas has produced far more commercial and secularized traditions that non-Christians are well aware of; so Starfleet officers would have a vague knowledge of mistletoe but not dreidel. (wait a sec, is there really NO RELIGION among Federation members? damn you, Gene.)
but then I was like “okay who among the DS9 humans would be most likely to have Jewish heritage, even if it’s wayyy in the past” and well — not the O’Briens, not Bashir, so the most likely contenders are the Siskos.
and then I imagined SISKO MAKING LATKES and GRANDPA SISKO LIGHTING THE MENORAH and this is the story of how I died
Sisko making latkes = best thing ever. GODDAMMIT I MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE A ONESHOT ON THAT NOW.

a little girl who grows up thinking all doors are automatic but actually she’s haunted by a really polite ghost
So chivalry IS dead?!
you win best response to this post
Episodes of star trek that should have happened
- Musical episode
- Translators are broken and everyone hears everyone’s native language for the first time
- Silent episode, no dialogue, only background music and expressions
- Interpretive dance episode
- Alpha quadrant cook off/ sports day
- the gravity controls are off for the day and we’re just going to have to deal with it and float

#Star Trek #so much #especially the first two #I’ve wanted the first two for quite a while
[I know it wasn’t ever possible, but I’d have loved to see a crossover between DS9 and Voyager. Just the conversations and different points of view would be interesting. The juxtaposition between certain people and elements especially. Sisko, having a family with career opposite Janeway who chose a different path. Kira and Chakotay’s feelings on the Cardassians. B’Elanna and Worf’s different ways of being Klingon. Quark and Neelix, Tuvok and Odo, O’Brien and Harry, Jadzia and Seven…]
I take your crossover episode and raise you a movie complete with Changeling/Borg Alliance.
Changeling/Borg alliance.
Changeling. Borg. Alliance.
…that is an intriguing idea.
(Both creepy hive minds. It’s a safe bet neither of them can assimilate the other, so there isn’t that threat. The Borg can bring an order more complete than the Founders ever could. The Founders can teach them advanced genetic engineering to complement their inorganic technology, reshaping their drones’ organic parts as well as augmenting them.)

I’m sick of magical worlds with no technology. I want fairy run coffee shops where you can get a latte with a shot of charisma, because you’ve got a big presentation you’re worried about, or witches working at Apple selling phones that automatically appear in your pocket if you accidentally leave it somewhere, or psychics running hair salons who always know how you want your hair to look, or aura reader therapists. I just really want normalized magic in modern society
Practical magic is something we need more of, and not just in modern settings. Because here’s the thing. Fireballs are cool and all, but think about the possibilities of creating an endless supply of fresh clean water would have on a medieval-era society. Think about cold spells being used for refrigeration, and plant magic being used to secure and increase the yearly harvest. Think about heat spells providing warmth without having to burn coal or oil. Think about teleportation spells being used to transport food and supplies in the dead of winter. Think about the implications of language spells that grant the ability to read long-dead languages. Think about the potential of magic-based medical care (including birth control)! There are so many possibilities that are way more interesting than magic missiles.
Whenever a new technology shows up, humans are usually mostly interested in using it for food, shelter, sex, and war. Fantasy settings like to cover that last one a lot, but totally neglect the rest. I think that’s a shame. Granted, the existence of magic would probably quickly elevate a society out of medieval-era subsistence, so you couldn’t get your pleasant pastoral English countryside pastiche. But at this point, shouldn’t we be thinking of more varied stories anyway?
Capt. Julian Bashir from the mirror universe lands on DS9. He is upset to find that his counterpart is a Doctor.
: #doctor julian bashir nearly has a panic attack when he comes face to face with his mirror counterpart #captain bashir with his long hair and five o’clock shadow and restless hands #sneering at julian mocking him disdainful at the possibility that a version of himself would be so privileged #that he would pick up a medkit instead of a disruptor #captain bashir who has suffered and struggled and been beaten because he wasnt quick enough #because he couldnt sweettalk himself into the intendents lap like sisko #captain bashir’s hands are rough and dirty and they shake (he has tremors but its okay because hes never needed to perform surgery) #and julian looks at him and all he can see is Jules #and it breaks him a little #(he knew it would he didnt look for his mirror counterpart he KNEW it would break him) (x)

I mean, dystopian stories about revolutions and redefining social order in the wake of worldwide catastrophes are cool, but you know what’s #1 on my list of wasted post-apocalyptic plot devices?
This is a thing that exists right now and was created as a safeguard against accidental loss of crop diversity. 700,000+ seed samples from all over the world are stored inside a giant concrete vault in a remote location in permafrost conditions so in case we fuck up everything like we’re probably going to we’ll be able to re-invent agriculture from scratch.
Also it looks like this
and it might as well have FREE PLOT DEVICE TO GOOD HOME written all over it, because can you imagine a bunch of exhausted, discouraged, hungry and injured kids travelling thousands of miles in search of this place they weren’t sure even existed, coming up a frozen slope and finally seeing it
walking through this tunnel in stunned, reverent silence because they’re afraid to let themselves believe this is real
coming inside the actual vault that’s lined floor-to-ceiling with the stuff that’s going to feed what’s left of humanity and jump-start new ecosystems.
If you know about this place and can’t imagine a fantastic post-apocalyptic story of hope and discovery and spiritually-tinted science about the equivalent of present-day millenials pulling the world out of darkness by learning to grow kidney beans
I don’t know what to tell you, man.
