“But they’re Starfleet! They’ve passed psych tests. They’ve spent hundreds of hours in battle simulations.”
This line is delivered by the character who started the series as a wet-behind-the-ears-fresh-from-the-academy idealist. Punches me in the gut every time.
This is such a wonderful picture, I had to illustrate it ^^ All credit due to @s-q-u-e-e-m-i-s-h for the original idea and @ameerawritesstuff for the story to go with it
classic twink. the outfit itself is a little too futuristic and uniform to fit to be tacky gay, but the form-fitting fabric shows off a little gay flare 4/10
similar to above, but somehow feels straighter? bulkier fabric and less color. ultimately a very straight look 2/10
i know i said i didnt think this outfit is gay but… i think the popped collar adds another dimension. i dimension that makes me think for .3 seconds, i am a lesbian, right? i based on the look hes giving garak too im going to up this to a 6/10
TACKY FASHION GAY ICON… i mean seriously? imagine a straight man wearing That? he couldnt, hed be arrested by the gay police…. what an icon! that collar! those collars? 9/10 hes gay boys!
heres a little more twink!!! slicked back hair gives the impression of a hipster old fashioned professor with an artsy boyfriend, plus the original tos uniforms are definitely, definitely, a gay look, albeit toned down 7/10
really? tuxedoes ARE GAY!!!! theyre gay!!!! if you wear a tuxedo you are gay!!! adding on the context of this particular outfit which i personally think of as that garashir ds9 episode i think we can all agree 10/10
this is high comfort lesbian fashion. i definitely have this outfit in 10 variations in my closet right now at this moment 8/10
feels a little too disney prince to be truly gay. something about the fake jacket feels a bit heterosexual for me. starfleet is 100% homophobic for having the opportunity to go full twink on a dress uniform and to give me this colorless straight thing 2/10
almost twunk but not quite, ends up feeling a bit awkward. tacked onto the setting of drinks with the boys after 24th century call of duty it doesn’t reach its gay potential. still, definitely has a spark with the color and the weird white tie thing, please expand upon julian bashir in old military uniforms, id like more 4/10
while baseball IS STRAIGHT and i stand by that, this is very Not Straight. the red polo tucked into the white pants? garak 100% picked this out for him and julians like yeah my boyfriend helped me with this :) its the only reason it looks coherent at all. thank you garak 7/10
OK!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE TACKIEST GAY LOOK IVE EVER SEEN…. THIS IS A GAY LOOK!!!!!!!! literally no straight man would EVER. THE POSE!!! hes lounging like yes, i am a twink! the fucking paisley pants! PLEASE! this man is such a twink. everything about this. the purple tank top with a blue stripe right over the nipples. yeah. this. this is gay. 11/10
DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY IT? TWINK! IMAGINE THINKING THIS IS WHAT YOU WEAR TO PLAY SPORTS? GAY POWER MOVE OF THE 24TH CENTURY! NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT THIS TURQUOISE MONSTROSITY 1000/10
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
