Pakled therapist:
You are sad.
Being sad is not good. You should not be sad.
Try not being sad.
Did that work? No?
Now I’m sad too.
We are both sad. We need a therapist.
Pakled to Therapist: You can make us want to go outside?
Klingon Warrior: Growing crops isn’t a battle!
Klingon Farmer: I thought that once, but then the tribbles arrived.
I am just infatuated with the lawyer Klingon from an episode of DS9. And there is also art and music in Klingon culture which begs the question: How do you relate everything in a society back to being warriors and turning everything into a battle worthy of a Klingon?
What about Kolos, the advocate from ENT?
There’s an episode where someone ends up on a klingon farming world (I entierly forget the character and series) and the takeaway is that klingons basically have a warrior caste that are really the only ones the federation has encountered up to that point. The rest of the klingons respect their soldiers but aren’t really into the same dogma.
I guess if it’s a state of mind, then everything can be viewed as a battle.
Today I wage war on THE LAUNDRY PILE!
I, skilled strategist that I am, sit at my war desk and prepare my tactics. This year, I shall pay FAR LESS TAXES!
Today is a good day to dye my hair etc…
Should I make a Klingon LLM?
Reminds me of this Writing Prompt: https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/uzkunl
I’d really like to hear Micheal Dorn quote this.
Sure, but scraggly General Martok gives it the gravitas needed in that moment to Garak, as it’s coming from a more seasoned warrior.
Wait, it’s a real quote?
Not exactly, but there are similar memorable quotes.
DS9:
[There is no greater enemy than one’s own fears …] (https://youtu.be/h2tzdbBgXC8?si=Ymk6HyfunWPzxm0P)
Lower Decks:
“Sito was a warrior. You do not honor her.”
“You didn’t know her.”
“Do you follow every order from your commanders?”
“No.”
“Sito made her choice. You want to solve puzzles and mysteries? Your friend gave her life to protect that. She would not approve of your actions.”
Love that scene!
My struggle… Is heroic 😮
I never want to be mentally healthy now
Counterpoint, defeating a seemingly undefeatable enemy is even more heroic.
Also, a fight that you are not trying to win is not an honorable fight.
Counterpoint, my self care regimen involves regular screaming rants that culminate in spirited slogans like “I’ll show you all”
Then you have already lost, and are without honor.
I don’t need to fight the demons if I can become them! I’ll show you all!
Even if you succeed, your people will reject you. You’re a demon, a monster who’s rage only increased as she slaughtered millions of foes and innocents a like, all for the name of perfection
