  • Not with Trek, but I’m a former stagehand and I’ve done amateur stagework. Spent a lotta time building and maintaining sets and props. I’ve been there.

    You’re backstage, you’ve got how everything should look memorized, it’s all set up, and for a moment, while it’s just you and that dry run, you forget yourself. You’re a part of the show.

    Eventually you step back, remember it’s all fake. You notice the little flaws, notice the floor isn’t just right under your feet. You were tired, trying to get something done. A lapse.

    I genuinely believe in the magic of the stage. Not in the sense of a spell, but of the ritual. No matter if it’s on a screen, or in person, if you do it right, we let go. For a moment, we forget our world and step into another.














  • She told you right, though. Have had a lot of medical personnel in my family, have heard the stories. It’s a biological thing that happens for reasons even the person with a boner can’t always explain. So long as you’re not being a problem with it, it’s just a part of the job, especially if they’re doing anything that involves interacting with sensitive areas.

    Especially sports-related. They have to deal with awkward teens getting physicals.
