You. Guys.
May. 26th, 2009 09:19 pmThey made Pon Farr perfume to promote Star Trek XI.
I cannot make this shit up.
In case you do not know, here's a quick refresher about why this is so aslakdjf;adl.
Way long ago, Gene Rodenberry tapped into the lyrical genius we see today in people like Joss Whedon and Eric Kripke and created Star Trek. This series was where slash was born, tru-fucking-fax.
Then, out of the blue, Genie introduced to the world what would become one of the most well-known and best-liked fanfiction tropes of our time. The fuck-or-die scenario. In this case, the 'heat' that Vulcan men and women undergo every seven years, known as the Pon Farr. They have to either fight it out or fuck it out. There is no other option.
And this is canon, you guys.
So, when there is Pon Farr perfume, my brain goes a leetle esplody and more than a little "HOLY SHIT, SON!" Because such things almost do not compute. Except that these are Trekkies we are talking about.
