Checking back in at night and only now is this post visible 6 hours later:
The 'verse got some splainin' to do.
That aside, Mirror Spot with a touch of General Chang is a frightening notion.

/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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
This piece elevates itself from mere internet humor into the realm of high art through its layered commentary. Using Spot, the famously mundane yet cherished cat of Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, the image juxtaposes the cat's typical role as a symbol of ordinary life against the bold declaration of future grandeur: "I will be a Captain's Cat."
The addition of the eyepatch and goatee transforms Spot into an evil mirror universe archetype—a renegade, defying the quiet, calculated world of Data's companionship. The hand-drawn additions introduce a raw, human quality to the composition, emphasizing imagination over precision, much like the very essence of Data's quest to understand humanity.
The textual elements, rendered in bold white font, act as a rallying cry, not just for Evil Spot, but for anyone yearning to transcend their universe or timeline.
Aww, thanks mate!
No problem, I enjoy attempting to critique memes as high art :p
Then you'd enjoy this if you haven't seen it before.
Forgot the sash though...
