I agree they started to make new trek boring and colourless along with the outfits. I would wear them though. I would also wear outfits from TOS though and also from 200 years ago. It depends on the occasion.
one more opinion about star trek fashion
it actually shouldn’t look like stuff you would wear (or at least a lot of it shouldn’t)
i’ve seen a lot of praise for modern trek fashion being better than classic trek because ‘people would actually wear that’
look at what people wore as everyday fashion 200-300 years ago, would you wear it? probably not, maybe for the novelty of it, but definitely not every day.
like, yeah this stuff looks crazy
it’s 300 years in the future. some of them are aliens, makes perfect sense to me that they would wear ridiculous extravagant clothes that look strange to my 21st century eye
similar to how if you showed modern fashion (especially alternative fashion/runway fashion) to someone dressed like this,
they would probably think we’re crazy.
yet for some reason modern trek wants us to believe that hundreds of years into the future people still just wear zip up hoodies?
(idk if the spock fit actually is a hoodie or not but come on man, the zipper? nothing more futuristic than a zipper?)
or this dress that looks like i could buy it in a 21st century target?
(not to hate on chapel, she’s just the only one i can find decent pictures of out of uniform)
also why is everything so grey now? when was it decided that people don’t wear colors in the future? i can not find out of uniform pictures where any of these people wear color, all black, white, grey, and maybe a bit of muted green.
tldr
clothing design in star trek should be just as important as clothing design in a period piece. i don’t think a screencap from any star trek should look like it could just as easily take place in the 21st century, i should see some crazy outfits. the clothes can do a lot of the heavy lifting to remind us that this is supposed to be far in the future.
I want that action figure now that I know about it
I’m reading the wikipedia for Threshold and the notes section is so funny
I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
Honestly bizarre that tomatoes get all the flack for “not being a vegetable” because they're technically a fruit when:
A) There are a ton of fruits that get categorised as vegetables. Like this also applies to pumpkins, squashes and cucumbers.
B) The fucking mushrooms are standing there at the back of the crowd in this witch trial, trying to look inconspicuous because they somehow got into the vegetable club with no fucking controversy despite the fact that they're not even plants.
I kinda lived half of 2023 (maybe more) like a drowning rat in a bucket but this year I'll live like a normal rat. outside of a bucket
This is one of my favourite pictures of a cemetery I’ve seen because I like how it’s spooky but still calm in a way
Lavender Hill Cemetery
Well I was thinking of buying Civilization before but now I want to even more
i just have to know what happened to the ui/ux designers at firaxis between civ6 and civ7

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
This is your daily reminder:
Your value as a human being isn't determined by your contribution to society or the lack of thereof.
Your life is important, even if you can't work or go to school.
The demon you summoned is looking at stuff online again, you might want to hide your credit card.
Today, January 23, the marriage equality law officially takes effect. Thailand now recognizes the right of all couples, regardless of gender, to legally register their marriage.
At 6.15am, the first couple, 33 year old Ploynapas Jirasukon and 32 year old Kwanporn Kongphet arrived, hand in hand, to register their marriage. Together for 17 years since high school, the Bangkok-based couple radiated joy as they became Thailand’s first officially recognised LGBTQ+ married couple.
Ploynapas shared her excitement, “We’re thrilled to be the first couple to register our marriage. It’s a proud moment, but there’s still more to achieve, like equality in child custody and legal titles.”
Sumalee, 64, and Thanaporn, 59, became the first same-sex couple to register their marriage at Bang Rak today.
Traveling all the way from Phetchabun, they chose Bangkok's "district of love" for this special occasion.
Permsap and Puangphet, the second couple to register their marriage in Pathumwan District, shared that they had waited 17 years for this moment, calling it a meaningful achievement.
Although they could have registered in Pai, they chose Pathumwan to express pride in exercising the same legal rights as other Thais. They wore traditional Tai Yai attire from Mae Hong Son, reflecting one partner's heritage, to make the occasion special.
They described the milestone as a collective success for the LGBTQ+ community, achieved through shared efforts.
They hoped future legal changes would address honorific titles for transgender individuals, ensuring fairness for all. The couple encouraged others to stay determined in the fight for equality, believing that persistence leads to success. They also urged countries without equal marriage laws to continue advocating for change.
Reflecting on a past accident, they shared the difficulties caused by the lack of legal recognition. Despite being together for eight years at the time, one was unable to sign medical consent due to the law, underscoring the need for equal marriage rights.
