/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Man, I miss my girl.
She had just come home with us. Still in the house training phase, but reliably holding it for the most part.
So, she was tiny. Just a wee corgi pup with two floppy ears still. All yips and puppy breath and love.
We're outside, and she's watering the lawn while looking for just the right spot to fertilize.
Up the road comes Bart. Big ol' mixed breed with some pitty in him. Sweet dog, but too smart for his own good, smart enough to escape his yard at will. Which is why Bart did not make it to old age, unfortunately.
Bart is a buddy. He kinda treated most of the neighborhood as second homes, but would sit on our porch and bark until I would come say hello.
Luna, my little corgi love did not know Bart. She saw him coming, just chugging along across the yard and lets out the loudest yip, gets in front of me. She starts growling, her hackles rise up, and Bart stops cold.
Bart looks at me like "the fuck is this?" He moves forward doing his best "I'm a sweet boy" walk. My little one growls again and steps toward him, in between us. She was not fucking around. Bart sits and kinda watches her for a bit, while I'm sitting her down and preparing to introduce them, getting her calmed and into the right frame of mind.
And they ended up getting along great.
But that little girl was going to fuck that monster dog up, at least in her mind. No way was that big ol beast going to mess with her human.
Yesterday was the date she was euthanized, two years ago. Fifteen years, and was always that dedicated to her people.
Unless it was a rabbit. Luna wasn't about to tangle with a rabbit.
I'm sorry for your loss. The worst thing about dogs is we usually outlive them.
Amen to that. Thank you
