Post your favourite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Getting all the good pets
Somewhat blurry close up of the happy face of a black standard poodle as she gets some good pets on the head from my hand.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.
The It’s a Beautiful Day to Yell At God meme. Three people face a giant orange-yellow sun. The one on the left crouches silently on some grass, the one in the middle stands with their arms out yelling “WHAT THE FUCK!?” and the one next to them in the pink dress says “COME OUT! WE JUST WANT TO TALK.” Text in the bottom right of the pic reads: “FACE US YOU COWARD.”

She’s resting her face on the little ledge?? 😭🥹
The poodle in much the same position as previous but now with her face resting on the ledge of the side window. She is adorably pathetic 😭🥹

I bad and turned on the light for her
A black standard poodle curled up next to the front door side window, refusing to break her vigil. She’s looking at the camera like, “whyy.” She’s wearing a pink bandana. It’s officially twilight now.

Another commuting day at our place means she waits, undaunted
A black standard poodle wearing a pink banana as seen from behind as she stares out the front door side window, waiting for the final person in our house to return. She’s sitting on a black mat. The light is dim, gloaming really.

*Me, sitting around, doing absolutely nothing:* OH WOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY’D CHOOSE THAT FOR THE FRENCH-CANADIAN TITLE FOR “WEAPONS” NOW.
My hand holding up a DVD copy of WEAPONS (2025). Its French title (shown in smaller front under the English title) is “HEURE DE DISPARITION” (Hour of Disappearance).

If you see this, post a #StarTrek

Fun fact: the Vulcan, Alberta visitor centre is Star Trek themed, as are parts of the town (murals, think murals), AND includes this monument of its own Starship Enterprise WITH a plaque in Klingon 🖖
A tall white man and a short southeast Asian woman stand under a statue of the Vulcan Starship Enterprise FX6-1995-A ("FX6" is its Canadian Flight Supplement, "1995" the year it was created, "A" because it's the first among its kind for the town). Both people are giving the Vulcan salute, the man with his other arm around the woman's shoulders. Beside the woman on the stone pillar on which the ship rests is a plaque written in Klingon and with a Klingon insignia on it. It is a bright summer day, blue sky, green lawn and a gas station in the near distance.

If anyone out there wants to know what living with a muppet is like, get thee a poodle
A black standard poodle with a huge round topknot sprawls on a stair landing with her limbs every which way, very much like a puppet with its strings cut; a muppet at rest.

The audience:
Two demons from Kpop Demon Hunters standing in the demon world in a crowd of demons. The one on the right, a cyclops, says, "Yeah. That's totally gonna work." And the one beside them, a demon with a huge underbite and a beard, reasons: "Yeah. 100%."

Convincing you to read my short story with the first sentence. Share yours if you want!

(If you like erotic stories about love, revenge and growing families, with gourds, "All Her Darling Little Ones" in A BIPOC Erotic Eco-Horror Anthology might just be for you) @hedonebooks.bsky.social
All Her Darling Little Ones CINDY PHAN They'd find the woman as they always did, laying face down in the woods behind the Estate in the sober hours of the morning, grit under her fingernails, sand in her teeth, loam in her hair, nose pressed so far and deep into the muddy turf that made up the back of the property it's a miracle she didn't ever suffocate.

HUNTR/X (of stuffies)
A black standard poodle holds a bright orange chameleon stuffie in her mouth as she eyes the camera (ok, me) seeking praise for her hunting prowess. She’s standing in the kitchen on the hardwood floor in front of the fridge.

Jodie…and Jodie? Are there two Jodies? Has one replaced the other or have we segued into duel Jodies??

Tonight’s pick: Hellraiser (2022)

A rewatch of a film I really enjoyed, if not as much as the original (ah, but that one was formative).

Still, I like that Hellraiser 2022 stands on its own, with some interesting additions to the lore,
and of course Jamie Clayton is a revelation as Pinhead.
Pinhead stands before us, flayed and glorious.

Proud of herself

Also finally harvested my Brussels sprouts today! They are the body horror of vegetables, but they come out of it alright 👁️👁️
Three thick stalks of freshly harvested (i.e. plucked from the garden) Brussels sprouts. They have been placed on a snow covered stone bench. The Brussels sprouts inside now, still dusted with snow, resting on a dish rack. They look like rows and rows of green eyeballs. The Brussels sprouts, removed from their stalks, washed and resting in a silver colander. They’re kind of small, but there’s lots of them.

First snow of the season and she’s already having the time of her life
A black standard poodle wearing an orange bandana having zoomies in our snow-covered backyard. Behind her is a wooden fence and snow covered garden boxes and composter. In the corner of the pic, a plastic shed can be seen. The poodle (centre) about to take another big leap in the snow. Off she goes again, mid-leap through the snow.

She smiles and says “I will always love you”
The corpse mom from Caveat (2020) popping up from below to smile her dead smile at you. Her hands, holding her up so she can rest her chin on the secret crawl space ledge, are just visible.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Weekend plans sorted! My library hold on WEAPONS finally came through ✨👌🏼
My hand holding up a DVD copy of WEAPONS (2025). Its French title (shown in smaller front under the English title) is “HEURE DE DISPARITION” (Hour of Disappearance). Yes, I am Canadian.
