/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.

🎶 Let it snow🎶
🎵 Le tits now🎵
My mom has some holiday decoration blocks that spell "Let it snow". It has become a tradition of mine to rearrange them into "le tits now" and see how long til she notices. Good times.
Make it grow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Outside of the innuendo, I suppose the Rascals would work.
Americans have no idea how to pronounce van Gogh. Literally none of the phonemes in Gogh are pronounced similar to the phonemes in “go”.
You mainly get "van go," but also the occasional "van goth."
At least that last one gets the “o” sound right (but nothing else).
“G” is a velar fricative, “o” is the short o as in “top”, and “gh” is the hardest, raspiest fricative you can muster.
Like the Klingon dish gagh?
No, not like that. That uses the English g sound.
Van ga-ock
Make it flow should have been an image of Patrick Stewart in Dune
Make some pho.
Make it crow.
Make it tow.
Fake Bonobo.
Careful, the mispronunciation police will tag you for your use of pho.
Hate to say it, but "Gogh" is not pronounced "Go." It's more like "hah."
Edit: It was a bit of bait on my part to draw out the pedantic brigade. Remember, I'm also a Whovian.
that was such a lovely episode!
It was actually Gogh that made me ok with it. We are obviously flying a little loose.
How does 'Make it Gogh' even fit?
Americans tend to pronounce his name like Van Go, not the fancy Dutch way.
Aaaah! Now I get it!
Sorry I'm German, so our pronunciation is closer to the Dutch, so it didn't make sense to me
Vincent van Gogh definitely does not fit in there, unless you butcher his name.
Make it low (decibel or height)
Make it dough (money or bread)
Make it disco
Make it glow
Make it tallow
Make it mow
Make it velcro

Man I say that last phrase to myself multiple times a day. I have a bad case of "put something down, lose it forever" thanks to adhd. Where are my keys/phone/shoes? I look for things to make me go.
Pakled Clumpship inbound
Make it cow
Make it caw
Make it no
Make it now
Make it warp-O
Make it engage
I love the Ardra cameo at lower left. First space scammer they encountered, love that ep.
Surely Vash would have been the better choice... Or perhaps that lady who was a gift between world then the ferengi tried to steal her... And she imprinted on Picard...
...Or maybe the daughter of the fifth house of Betazed and the holder of the sacred chalice of Rixx?
