I made a truly wonderful Chicken Katsu tonight I hope I can replicate in the future!
A plate topped with rice, a flat breaded and fried chicken breast, and brown thickened teriyaki sauce. Two metal Korean chopsticks sit on the back of the plate.

I prefer my peptides in cake form.
It's a Star Trek TNG scene. We've got Worf sitting at a glowy table in Ten Forward. He's wearing his uniform and Klingon metal prom sash. In front of him is a kind of triangular looking plate and a black and tan patterned square napkin. The plate has a slice of white cake with a blue icing glazed over top of the slice. He's holding a clear or metal fork in his left hand ready to shovel some of the cake into his mouth. Worf looks like he's in mid-sentence. The rest of Ten Forward is rather dimly lit.

Chocolate cake with raspberry icing
Two small square pieces of brown chocolate cake topped with light pink icing and bits of raspberries on top. It's all on a lightly messy plate from dinner. I reused my dinner plate to save on dishes because I didn't want to do more dishes. Don't judge me.

A blue background with yellow text. The yellow text on the top two rows is framed on the lower left sides with red accents. It's in the style of Zohran Mamdani's campaign signs when running for mayor of New York City in 2025. The text reads: "So... I lied I cheated I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it... Because I can live with it... I can live with it... Computer - erase that entire personal log." The quote is from the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "In the Pale Moonlight".

It is a line from the cult classic episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" "Sub Rosa".

Quaker Odos

An image of a box of Quaker Oats brand oatmeal, but photoshopped on the logo is René Auberjonois dressed as a Quaker for a film role. The Brand name is also changed to "Quaker Odos". There is also a pair of googly eyes on the picture of a bowl of oatmeal. FoDs will get it.

I watch Star Trek for the deeply cerebral storytelling...
A scene from "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds". Spock is in his quarters standing shirtless gazing at something before him. And unlike the series premiere this time HE. HAS. CHEST HAIR! Also there is a supporting V shaped structure in the architecture of the quarters and in the back of the room is a red accent wall.

Easy, the Ilia probe from V'Ger

Pink light
Pictured here is the probe sent to the Enterprise 1701 (no bloody A,B,C, or D) from V'Ger. The probe looks exactly like Lt. Ilia, the Deltan who was zapped away by V'Ger, but it is not her. The Ilia probe is bald and wearing a white robe with a very high collar and low front. At the base of the neck is a pink light. The background is somewhere on the Enterprise, probably the bridge. It's all very grey and beige.

My rapture outfit.
Here we've got Spock as played by Ethan Peck on the show "Star Trek: Discovery". He's got a beard and is wearing a simple but sleek grey robe. Not like a bath robe but a long coat formal style robe. He looks very Vulcan and stoic. Pointed eyebrows, pointed ears. Behind him are colorful tubes that definitely probably spew out hazardous liquids and gasses if the ship takes damage and those get ruptured. The pipes are various colors. There are some panels along the wall of the corridor at elbow to hand height for him. They feature ship schematics and such for the Crossfield class USS Discovery. The screens are black with diagrams and text in shades of blue. The corridor walls are grey, white, and black. There look to be more computer panels and blinky lights along there too.

I've been watching someone play "Tiny Bookshop" and I played the demo myself. Loving it!

So I just had to sort my personal library in a similar way!

#TinyBookshop
A whole shelf of "Nancy Drew" and "Hardy Boys" novels lined up on a grey bookshelf. A red bookmark divider with the word "Crime" written on it. Some binoculars, a mask, and some rocks also sit on the shelf. Another picture of a shelf on my grey metal bookshelf. This selection of books is far more diverse. Some category divider bookmarks sit between the categories. From back to front is: Fact on white Travel on dark blue Drama on green Classic on orange Fantasy on purple And kids on light green. The category bookmarks themselves: Kids on light green ☀️ Classic on orange 🏛️ Fact on white 💡 Drama on Green 🎭 Fantasy on purple 🏰 Crime on red 🔪 Travel on blue 🌍

So this is my (top down) idea of how the USS Athena configures between Academy mode and Flight mode:

Color coded to keep track of moving parts

#StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy #SFA
A quick top down drawing of the USS Athena in Academy mode on top. The two halves of the outer saucer section form a semicircle beneath the main part of the saucer section. The warp nacelles clamp together and sit tucked beneath the saucer section. The bottom of the image has the ship in flight mode. The outer saucer clamps together onto the main saucer section on the front of the ship. The warp nacelles raise up and split apart to bring the warp nacelles behind the saucer section in a similar look to the Friendship class starship.

That, or the lower rectangular bit hanging down from the ship is the nacelles. They kinda look like they have some ribbing on them indicating warp coils. But it also looks like there may be a shuttle bay at the end, so perhaps you are right.
A vertical screenshot from the "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" trailer showing the USS Athena. The screenshot is zoomed in on the center aft of the ship showcasing the domed saucer section with its impulse engines and what looks like a warp field governor directly above the impulse engine manifolds. Directly below the saucer section is a rectangularish section of the ship pointing at a 45° angle downwards and aft. Two white blinky lights sit at the bottom above maybe some kind of shuttle bay. The hull on the lower section has some bands of dual lines on the edges of the section. The ship is hovering over the Academy along the San Francisco Bay.

If this is the layout of the Athena it kinda looks similar to the Friendship class, but not exactly.
A closeup screenshot from the first look trailer for "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" of a background screen on the bridge of the USS Athena showing a layout of the starship looking like a saucer section of the Friendship class but with the middle section filled in. There is also a warp nacelles behind the saucer presumably with another nacelle across from the other. Two Starfleet officers in the foreground in front of this blue display. The guy on the left is wearing operations gold, the guy on the right is wearing command red.

Where the fuck is the other end goal? I'm not a sportsball person but I know there is supposed to be a tuning fork shaped goal thing at both ends.
A shitty AI image of a hypothetical football stadium for Oklahoma State's football stadium designed to look like an old west setting. It features saguaro cacti which are not native to Oklahoma, but neither is lawn grass and white people had to bring that anyways.

The crest of the Romulan Star Empire from "Star Trek: Nemesis" (I think), but with the wing tips in the pride and trans flag colors: The logo for the Romulan Republic from the video game "Star Trek: Online", but with most of the colors swapped out with the colors of the progress pride flag:

"Headcannon"

Illustration by me, @gaynerd53.bsky.social
A portrait of a distinguished looking gentleman in a navy colored coat with gold buttons of 1700s-ish inspiration with a white undershirt underneath. The head is replaced with a grey cannon. Their head is turned a bit to the side in profile. The head cannon has a little black eye a bit back from the cannon mouth opening. Black wire spectacles sit across the top "nose" of the cannon just in front of the eyes. The back of the head cannon is adorned with a fluffy white powder wig. The gentleman's right hand is sticking into the coat Napoleon Bonaparte style. The portrait illustration is before a light tan background. Illustration by me (@GayNerd53) from an old Inktober thing. Drawn on my phone and screenshot.
