The Doctors McCoy are hashing it out in episode three of Star Trek: Eridani, babey!

And ensign Terrance Riley is NOT having a good time.

Read all about it in my newest little fic here:

And yeah, Sopek is there too 🥴

Save Terrance, guys.

lol PSA an oopsie happened but you can still sign up for Eridani episode prompts!!!

I’m currently writing up something right now, and you bet your ass Terrance Riley (and Sopek) are gonna be featured in it… 🥴

The S1 Prompt for Star Trek Eridani have been mistakenly removed from the collection (I am sorry, I'm still learning how to use the collection setting of the prompt meme). They are now up once more and you can sign up again in the claims you had, or if you're new, find new and interesting prompts! We were so glad to see such interest and I hope we can count on all of you again, despite this technical mishap.

Link to the collection and prompts Here.

Once again, many apologies.

SOPEK AND MALACHI FANART ON MY FEED IM GONNA FREAKKK ITS SO PERFECT OH MY GOD

Absolutely YES Sopek would so so show up in Malachi’s office and bother him but not at all consider it to be therapy and the DETAILSS this drawing has im so in love

Made another drawing involving the Eridani Crew… I have been looking at their bios one by one and in Dr. Cohen’s I saw the fact that Saavik and Sopek both refuse therapy and I can imagine Sopek finding time to talk to Malachi to try and understand human behaviors and Malachi being like “you do know that this is technically therapy” and Sopek being like “No, that’s not what this is” I think they would be good friends.

I love their designs and I love how Malachi’s Kippah matches his uniform

Head astrophysicist Lt. Sopek, son of Stonn. Read his bio here (but you probably already know who he is 🥴)

The crew is officially all here!! We’ll be making posts of the main groupings of the crew, and I’m going to post some comics soon providing further context for some of the Star Trek: Eridani lore^TM , plus some more Sopek goodness

Reposting my boy

Lieutenant junior-grade Sopek

Sopek was born to a high standing Vulcan family, due to his mother, T'Pring, being a part of an historically aristocratic clan and retaining these ties despite her marriage to Stonn, a member of a more humble family. This upbringing in ShiKhar’s high society and status as an only child encouraged his haughty and vain personality, in that subdued, high-class Vulcan way. 

Due to their own experiences with arranged bonding and the social fiasco of the Koon-ut Kal-if-fee, Sopek was not bonded as a child, with T’Pring refusing to force her child’s mind to be tied to someone he could not choose himself, for his own logical reasons. Many elders of his clans disapproved of this choice, but Sopek was confident that he would be able to secure a bondmate in case he should undergo Pon Farr before having found someone. 

A fairly talented telepath, he enjoyed showing off with people as a young child. 

As a teenager, he became a very big fan of Spock, in all the irony that he was his mother’s ex-betrothed, and against his parents’ wishes, he joined Starfleet at 17 due to how much Spock inspired him. He completed the science program in the fast track, focusing the astrophysics speciality with certain tangential studies, graduating in two years. 

During this time, he also started a club for Human Studies, in an attempt to palliate his lack of knowledge concerning human references, behaviours and media. Staying at the Academy longer would most likely have helped him more, but in his stubbornness he maintained that he could uncover these concepts through logical means. Each semester, Sopek coerced a human student, mostly Terrance Riley, to review the club’s findings and grade them. This research was not very conclusive, and by the time that Sopek was assigned to the Eridani at 19 as a lieutenant junior-grade, he remained fairly ignorant about human culture. 

At Starfleet, he did not share his parent’s or clan’s name to avoid plummeting his chances of getting assigned to the Eridani due to Captain Saavik’s close connection to Spock and the fact his own mother incited kal-if-fee on him.

His posting in Dr. David Marcus’s science team came with a learning curve about behaviours, and his egotistical attitude was taken down a few notches during his time on the Eridani.
