Not my OC
Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.
Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.
never give up, never surrender!
unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels…

The only Star Trek or Star Wars shirt I currently own is black with yellow gold lettering saying “Star Trek” in the Star Wars font. I think it makes some people uncomfortable. My S.O. hates it. I think it’s hilarious and I know immediately what type of “nerd” I’m dealing with based on people’s reactions to it. I suspect most people don’t realize it’s a joke or they are worried that I don’t know it’s a joke.
I think part of it is also that a random stranger in a star wars shirt can be anyone. A random stranger in a star trek shirt is a nerd, and therefore more likely to be a cool dude.
Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase “favorite captain?” you’ll probably have a new friend two hours later.
Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes… they were my kind of people.
… Or a new foe, two seconds later
“ARCHER? SERIOUSLY?”
The star wars equivalent of this is dropping a tactical nuke with the question of modern or old lore and then asking for their favorite era.
I’m unaware of any star wars fan that would say new. Especially if you count episode 1 as new
You…may have the best username I’ve ever seen.
