/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I mean, I'm sure that was the intent when they showed it. I'm just saying (as are you) that there are other possibilities since they couldn't show what it was coming out of.
Probably. But I enjoy throwing cold water on everyone's boner parade.
Honestly, I prefer the cold water. "Klingons have two penises" is just stupid. What evolutionary reason would there be for that? It's not like the two penises are in two different locations so they could get two female Klingons pregnant at once.
I mean, snakes, lizards and sharks have that setup. I'm not sure exactly what benefit it has, but they do. Though if you wanted to justify it, maybe the reason would be redundancy in case one gets damaged, considering their affinity for violence.
Klingons are known to have redundant organs so that if one fails, the other continues to function as a backup.
It didn't look like either of them was acting like a backup.
You're assuming Klingon females have only one receptor...
I'm assuming it isn't necessary to have two with either party.
It is established that Klingons have a bunch of redundant organs. Maybe Klingons have two separate reproductive systems in case one gets stabbed
Yeah, but if both penises pee, neither is redundant. A redundant penis wouldn't even be exterior. It would be interior until the primary one was too damaged to function. Otherwise, what would be the point? Both could be cut off at once.
Right, you want your redundant genitalia in different locations so they don’t get damaged at the same time, or maybe one set of external genitalia and one internal. I’m calling it first: Klingons are confused hermaphrodites and their rage is exaggerated behavior to reinforce how they identify
Maybe not necessary but hey it's twice the fun right?
Exactly. I'm suggesting it's more that they're shooting both barrels into the same target.
I mean, yeah, it also could be a situation where there are two separate vaginas, two separate birth canals, and two separate uteruses. But does that mean the Klingon female can get double-pregnant? Like, you could have identical twins that come out of the same womb, but also fraternal twins that come from the same womb...but ALSO, you could have twins where one develops in the dorsal womb and the other develops in the ventral womb?
Or even quadruplets, where it's one set of twins and another set of twins.
Either way, when that water breaks, get ready to ride the wave. Also, Klingon placentae would be some crazy shit. Ya gotta know that.
And I think the twins thing is unlikely considering we've seen Klingon siblings such as Worf and his Brother and Lursa and B'etor and they are not twins. We've yet to see an example of Klingon twins.
Maybe Klingon twins always kill each other, in the womb. Maybe there are ALWAYS twins, and one always emerges victorious.
EDIT: they LITERALLY emerge victorious. And maybe that's the original basis for the ritual, where they scream to the gods, after someone dies. The very first thing a Klingon does in his whole life is commemorate his first bloody victory by screaming, as a newborn.
Does that mean B'elanna killed her half-sister in the womb?
Yup. Probably because that fetus took after the human side. And the deeply buried, primal memory of slaughtering and absorbing her weak human equivalent is the root of her problems. Ya know, how she is perpetually horrified by her violent and predatory Klingon side, but equally disgusted by her weak and vulnerable human side. Makes sense.
