Garak’s tail this, Garak’s tail that. You are all sleeping on the possibility of spoon-shaped lizard tongues that can “mlem”

I saw a Tumblr post describing humans as “aggressively social” and all I can imagine is every Star Trek alien like:

I would have liked a Translator Breakdown episode where it turns out some of the characters do know one another’s language but only at like a “two years in highschool” level.

O'Brien: Tá an ríomhaire briste. Tá fadhbanna againn.

Sisko: The WARP CORE is *points to his own face, frowning* ??

Kira: Fuck! Fuck computer, fuck! *hand gestures* Computer is fuck!

Dax: “Com… computer…” *rubs temples* Ordinateur? Parlez plus lentement s'il vous plaît…. 

Worf: Я раздражен….

my favorite part of this is the implication that apparently by the 24th century the prevalence of the irish language will be such that a man from dublin will speak irish as his first language.

*side eyes tng “irish reunification of 2024″ screengrab and whispers* don’t mess this up for us.

Translator Breakdown is my favorite fic trope! Yes yes all of this. Also I want Dax to know like five dialects of Standard, plus French, Klingon, and also Bajoran because she likes to flirt with Kira when it’s slow in Ops

I agree with Tosk. The fact that I, as a human, need to spend one third of my lifespan unconscious in order to properly function is just ridiculous.
