Going to lie down because it's hot as balls in my apartment and also because I'm just exhausted from not sleeping great. Thus why this is being posted randomly in the middle of the day. I was going to post this tonight but god knows if I'll even be awake.
I've always had really awful birthdays. Either it was outright ignored or I was punished for even having one. My parents were... unpleasant. Star Trek became my escape. Could see amazing people make amazing choices and be the best they wanted to be instead of lying and saying they were good people. Actions speak louder than words, after all, and the actions of the crew of the Enterprise-D (specifically) were what helped me sort of override a lot of the disgusting hateful stuff I was taught as a child. Also made me feel like a person instead of a burden.
I've not really been able to delve in deep to a lot of Trek communities sometimes because, well, it's the internet. People can get a bit toxic behind a computer screen. This place has been anything but. Pure kindness and love from everyone here. Top to the bottom. Honestly it seems pretty worth it to me to forego birthday gifts throughout my life to be able to find y'all.
You are all awesome. I don't want birthday wishes and stuff, I get enough of those from Starbucks and other companies trying to get me to buy their shit that I cannot afford, but I want y'all to appreciate yourself for a couple minutes. You're a great person, you've helped make an amazing community, and I am eternally grateful.
You are AWESOME. Love y'all.
Live so very motherfucking long and prosper more than you could ever dream.
I meant mine were bad lol, yours are always actual quality
Compare this:
to this:
Here's the big difference though
You made yours.
I just saved mine ages ago when trolling the internet.
Yours are FAR more impressive.
Also the USS Burritos is fucking hysterical and I stand by that.
Yeah but you're a curator of the arts, I'm just a dude who chuckles far too much at his own bad jokes then posts them online
I will say though, the Burritos was pretty good
Wait if I'm a curator of the arts does that mean my username should actually be Geordie?
Burritos is my favorite Trek meme i've seen in years. I'm not being light when I say hysterical. I cried laughing the first time I saw it.
Yes you have to delete your account and make a new one as Geordi@startrek.website, sorry I don't make the rules
Okay, I have actually legitimately considered deleting my account and restarting as Shaw instead of Stamets. Both characters I identify with pretty damn heavily.
I WAS JOKING AAA
If you did change accounts you can't delete the old one we'd lose so many quality memes!
If you did want to you change names you could just change your display name (or if you did make a new account we'd all follow you to the new one lol)
I am joking but also not really? I don't even know. Also at this point I'm so fucking recognized as Stamets that I think it'd just confuse everyone. But god do I identify with Shaw so fucking much... Also let's be real, Shaw is kinda hot. I mean so is Stamets but Shaw has that Captain Daddy energy.
My god I've been extremely gay on this account the past couple days. I can only apologize.
Well I think the community will follow with whatever you choose
also you can't top the gayness of the "Gay" folder (I'm still laughing from that lol)
Nah I'ma stick with Stamets. My discord username is Stamets related, like a username I was stunned was available, my PSN username references the ship, I've got the science badge in DSC Season 1/Season 2 style stuck to the UFP flag on the wall... Also I mean Stamets said this line. How can I not stick with it?
I'm glad the folder got you like that. The bookmarks inside it would have illicited a very different response lmfao
It does seem to be a fitting line lol
Could always split the difference and go with Shawmets. Has kind of a dickish gay mushroom shamwow mittens energy.
Also very happy birthday! You've made me laugh a lot lately, and I've needed that.
For some reason I want a breakfast burrito now.
Red's makes a really good breakfast burrito imo.
Share please. I haven't eaten yet today.
Just don't eat the ship, it's already falling apart as is...
