OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND IN THE #BAYCON DEALERS’ ROOM!

I’m so completely delighted! I, big dumb #Trekkie, wrote that thing back when Twitter was fun! Ahh!

(Actually my brother found it and played it all smooth and casual like he didn’t know because he is the best)

Context for people with vision problems:
The picture depicts a wooden board. Upon the board in burned-in writing, it says:
"In youth, we are Kirk. Space cowboy fun! Flirting! Fighting!
"In our teens we are Sisko. I am very deep. I am the chosen one, probably.
"In adulthood, we are Picard. Do the right thing. No vacations!
"But, eventually, we all become Janeway. Just get me my coffee, and burn it all."

@catvalente the number of ways I identify with this would be deeply embarrassing if I cared about that kind thing any more. Thankfully I don’t, though probably only because I’ve had some coffee.

@catvalente I'm a few years into the Janeway stage, although I retain a Picardesque preference for tea. Earl Grey. Hot. ;)

@annathepiper @catvalente

Not only do I remember that tweet, several #Janeway RP tweeters retweeted it with delight. There may have been “embroidery” versions.

@catvalente So where does Jeremy Archer fit in? Or Christopher Pike?
Show threadCatherynne M. ValenteJul 4, 2023
@zakalwe Pike’s show hadn’t started at the time and frankly Archer bores me too much to include but I recognize that may not be a nice opinion

@catvalente Couldn't agree more—with the exception that I can't forgive people going from a tea person to a coffee person—I, mean, c'mon
