/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.

You know, Klingons, for all the cheese they got saddled with over the decades, were sometimes given some truly amazing moments like that one. They're this hyper macho, warrior driven and hide-bound culture, but they value friendship in a beautiful way. They really get loyalty to a friend in a way that no other in-universe culture does.
Also, Klingon men and women are both warriors and either can go to Stovokor if they have an honorable death.
Yeah but women can't head Klingon houses save for special circumstances
And yet there was a woman running the empire in Discovery. 🤷♂️
Hundreds of years passed between Discovery and DS9, cultures evolve and not always in a good way.
Only about 100 years.
Whoops, true. I somehow had it mentally placed closer to Enterprise than TOS.
Klingons are like those ancient warrior tribes that seemed barbaric at surface level when historians first studied them, but were found to be a lot more rooted in community, duty and survival once you get to know their ways. They are a product of surviving in the environment they did
They also grasp mental health better than people might think. Such as Martok and Worf watching Garak face his claustrophobia in order to save them:
Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.
Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.
And this admiration is coming from people who consider the Cardassians to be bitter enemies, which is even more astounding given how devious and dishonourable Garak can be.
To be fair though, both Worf and Martok are among the best Klingons. Somehow, I don't think Duras, or even Gowron, would have felt the same
How do non-binary Klingons defeat their enemies? They slash them
This is fantastic
It took me way too long to get that...
Oh yeah, Klingons can get it! Especially those Duras sisters.
"he's only got ONE? And it's TINY!?"
Oh fuck I forgot about the Klingon double dick
It's wholesome, but it's also got a little too much "Geico caveman" energy.
Remember when they tried to turn those ads into a sitcom and it crashed and burned?
Remember being surprised when somebody failed trying to stretch a commercial that was different takes on a single punchline into a sitcom?
Me neither.
Can't be worse than young Sheldon
I don't know. I didn't watch it because why why would I watch a TV show based on an insurance commercial?
Is that a Klingon walking past the ad?
It is bizarre how long Geico has been an ad agency with an insurance side-hustle. I grew up thinking the industry was all-in on clever marketing shorts. Nope: same company, every time.
If you fight with honor then you deserve respect from everyone
I love this a lot.
I love his shit eating grin when the other Klingon sees Jadzia.
Don't you remember the great Kurzon Dax?!
But seriously FUCK YOU IF YOU'RE A TRIBBLE!
