Yes, Jizz.
StarTrek all the way, actual REAL peaceful space communists or religious Knights with magic powers? That's not a hard choice

/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.

Everyone thinks I'm super into star wars cause I enjoy building Lego space ships and star wars is the option in that regard. Mind you I've just noticed a Chinese brick company have dropped a giant Enterprise and there's a Rocinante on the way too!
Does it come with a LEGO man polycule???
Space explorers ... or ... authoritarian space soldiers fighting religious space fanatics
stargate shirt
I'd suspect you of having a snake in your belly.
Stranger in a Farscape shirt: knows how to party... possible cast or crew member.
Might be a Muppet.
Probably because of the virtues that each fan seem to seek with their choice…
When people conjure mental male representation of Star Wars, they think of fat neckbeard Lucas and the lizard. When they think of Star Trek, they imagine sly silver fox Picard and Datas most probable mechanical prowess.
This tracks.
kinda makes sense to me
one is an attempt at a hopeful, logical view of humanities future.. the other has laser swords and magic.
The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.
Far superior option. Mostly because it has real space physics with minimal hand waving.
Minimal hand waving
Except for the alien tech. The proto virus or whatever it's called. People talking from the dead. Teleporters to the other side of the universe. Crystals growing out of people's heads. Alien bug swarms. And a whole bunch of other hand-wavey things.
Yeah, good point. And fuel density and accessibility.
I guess I just really like space physics without fake gravity, but instead being generated by thrust. And the realism of the time everything takes to travel.
One is a broad base for story telling, the other is one long story about how a single family and their granddad's hetro-lifemate can fuck over an entire galaxy,
And politics, and wealth disparity, so basically the opposite of a utopia.
But they're mostly right about the hopeful part. When it isn't shown that the Federation is super corrupt and being controlled by evil outside forces, of course.
That article about magic talks about religious ritual and advanced technology. No actual magic, except in one alternative universe.
In 2364, when the USS Enterprise-D was unexpectedly thrust millions of light years into a realm where thoughts became reality, Kosinski described this explanation of the phenomenon as akin to being asked to believe in magic. Captain Jean-Luc Picard felt the explanation made sense, however, as only the power of thought could explain the strange events that were manifesting aboard the vessel, such as his own apparent meeting with his maman, Yvette Picard. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
There's also a regular invocation of Clark's Law, producing a rich surplus of "Space Wizards" - from TNG's Q to Gabrielle Burnham, the Red Angel, in Discovery.
That's before you get into hyperdrives and teleporters and replicators and holodecks and other very naked violations of established science. Functionally no different than characters casting spells and using magic items in a game of D&D.
the other has laser swords and magic.
And it always sucks no matter who wins.
I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.
Start with Star Trek: The Next Generation, and move on from there. The first season has some quirks, but by the second it's solid gold.

Okay, call off the mob!
The mob is carrying DVD copies of DS9 ... the dogs are strays they found along the way and they're taking care of them ... the torches are there because they drained the batteries on their smartphones downloading 'Wrath Of Khan' for you to watch.
They're yelling, "LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, DAMN YOU!"
Nah, just convert it into a party!?:-P🥳🎉
A watch party!
A watch party at Quark's!
Well, there’s a bit of everything in the fandom. What sort of series and movies do you like? I’m sure we’ll be stumbling to recommend you specific episodes Abe possibly even a movie or two.
(TBH I don’t care much for the movies, expect for the Kelvin timeline, for which I’m sure I’ll burn at the stake.)
Are you sure Riker doesn’t perform jizz?
There is no sound tho
Riker got that taken care of before even joining the academy.
All crew report for mandatory jizz-ectomy
I have both tshirts, my trustworthiness also happens to fluctuate wildly based on my apparel.
I have this T-shirt. People have no idea what to do.
I need that.
I was trying to figure out where I got mine from, but I can't find the store. That image was from Etsy. I know there are others in similar styles for sale, but mine is just the outline like that.
Edit: also, the outline on mine is yellow.
We don't have a style of music called jizz, because we classify our birds with it instead.
So I could talk about the jizz all over those boobies (or tits) and not have it be NSFW?
That's how I make it through the dark times.
Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.
Oh, then they absolutely knew.
The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term "jizz-wailer" to describe a musician, but the term "jizz" as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.
The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don't discount Legends!
Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.
Ya like Jizz?
