Y'all are going to make me cry. For real.

If I was told I couldn't post as much from this account anymore, I'd just make more accounts and post from them too or start sending random users tons of memes to have them to post. Recognition ain't why I do it. Upvotes ain't why I do it. It's because I love seeing this community active and alive! I love seeing people interacting with each other. I love seeing all the new people who show up going "Wait, what's happening over here?" and then start watching Star Trek, and I know for sure that's happened at least once. I love people learning new things about the shows they love as well. I've learned a bunch in the couple weeks that I've been here, I know that for damn sure. The more threads that pop up, the more engagement, the more fun, the more relaxation and the more joy. Especially when we're in a world that is really really depressing all the time.

Most of all I just love how everyone is nice to each other. Even when people disagree, it's done in a polite way. You don't see people downvoting people over differing opinions. You don't see people attacking people for no reason. A big part of that is the mods (who deserve all the credit in the world for making Risa the balmy paradise that it is) but also the people who keep ourselves in check and help each other out.

If anything, the meme should actually just be me giving gifts to the place that's made these past few weeks bearable.

I love all you guys so much.

Man I’m just in constant awe and gratitude for how many of these things you have! I’ve been Trek memeing for a while but most of these are totally new to me, I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. You’re a beautiful human and we love you! ❤️🖖

Hey, I've just been boldly exploring for many years. It's just time for this weary vessel to dock at home and share the spoils.

You are a beautiful person, I wish the world had more people like you in it.

Oh I'm not. I've got a lot of problems and I make a lot of mistakes. A fair few of them have been some major fuckups at that. I don't always do the right thing and sometimes I know it and don't even care.

I just try to be better when I can. I don't always win on that fight. But I try.

♥️ back at you! This place is great and you're a big part of why.

No u

Also let's just go ahead and ignore the context of that gif from that episode, shall we?
