#Hemmer

@arcadetoken oh no, it's not unusual and it's not toxic, just the opposite.

What you're talking about is open communication.

What you're talking about is the same thing I always try to do during interpersonal conflict.

See, I'm a computer #programmer by trade, an engineer.

And, like #Hemmer from #StarTrek: #StrangeNewWorlds, I see it as my role in life, my "calling", if you will, to "Fix that which is broken".

That applies to both myself inside and problems external to me, including other people.

The world is filled with problems to solve.

When I see a problem presented before me, I am COMPELLED to solve it, much like an #OCD person is compelled to do... whatever it is that they are compelled to do.

The problem is that while, yes, other people ARE problems to solve... we all have our own internal histories and traumas that have shaped who we are.

For many of us, and perhaps it's just a part of the #humancondition, every part of us wants to FIGHT change, to even fight improvement.

It might possibly be a part of our mental #homeostasis, it might be #identity self-preservation, but some part of us wants us to stay the same, to make no changes. Even for the better.

So, when I reach out to try to help "fix" people, the same way I try to improve myself EVERY damn day of my life, they often and usually respond with hesitance, suspicion, and sometimes outright hostility.

I've learned that people can only change when they WANT to change. So all you can do is hold out the olive branch of your unique perspective, and let them know that you are there IF they want to talk and help sort out their issues, and improve themselves.

But you can't force it on people. They have to want it for themselves.

And that's the biggest and toughest thing that I've had to learn since I was diagnosed with #aspergers twenty years ago, is that you can't "fix" everyone... most people don't WANT to be fixed.

So, you just have to show compassion, listen to them, and wait for a moment to give a tiny bit of advice here and there to try to steer in the direction that you think would benefit them the best.

And then... give them space. You can only show them the door, THEY are the ones that have to walk through it.

...is that enough hackneyed metaphors for you? 😂

@deathkitten

I’m convinced that Hemmer is alive and frozen at the bottom of the gorge.

And, that that the frozen state, which Aenar canonically can survive, killed off the developing Gorn.

More, there’s reason to believe that the EPs made an intentional decision to KEEP THAT POSSIBILITY OPEN!

In a more recent Trek Movie interview this May, Bruce Horak said that they shot an entire wire sequence that would have shown him falling from the ship and would have made it clear he didn’t survive.

Perhaps, that was deemed too graphic. However, to go through the challenge of shooting a blind actor, in prosthetics, in a harness and then choose not to use the footage suggests a higher level decision.

In any case, Horak quips that ‘Aenar bounce’, referencing the beloved ending to ‘Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer.’

Check out the exchange that starts 39 minutes in.

#TIL the actor behind Lt. #Hemmer, #BruceHorak, is also legally #blind

The #Aenar is my favorite #StrangeNewWorlds character, bar none.

@gesternhu Ich fand die Folge grandios, aus genau den Gründen, die ihr auch genannt habt. Die Schauspielenden können auch mal aus ihren Rollen raus und Anson Mounts Figur ist einfach zum Schreien. Und auch #Hemmer (*snüff*… Hemmer… *wimmer*) als Zauberer, einfach toll. Ich liebe es, wenn #StarTrek aus dem üblichen Schema fällt und die Musicalfolge, da kommt ihr ja noch hin, und die hier sind exzellente Beispiele dafür, wie man das machen kann. 5 Sterne, für #SNW und für euch. 🙂

@qlp Taken from us too soon. #Hemmer was my favorite character behind #Ortegas. I wanted both of them to have waaaay more screentime and story development.

Amazing how the original #StrangeNewWorlds characters that aren't just #TOS rehashes are the most interesting. Hope #StarTrek can keep looking ahead post #TNG #DS9 #VOY instead of yet another prequel/reboot.

Legally blind actor and visual artist Bruce Horak is making a limited series of Hemmer portrait paintings in what he calls “The Hemmer Project.”

These are available to be ordered from the artist himself. Info is on his Instagram.

Here’s a week of Hemmers!

cbc.ca/amp/1.6939279 Did you know #BruceHorak, aka #Hemmer and General Garkog of Klingon-pop infamy in #startrek is longstanding Shakespearean and improv theatre performer? Goblin: Hamlet is a tale of three goblins stumbling upon the complete works of William Shakespeare blending improvisation, fantasy and tragedy in an electrifying and fresh interpretation of the classic play. — Now playing at Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach, coming to Stratford Festival this October.

Fate had it that last night I ended up sitting next to Bruce Horak for the closing night of Henry V! What are the chances?!

This show was really interesting, lots of cool moments throughout. Congrats to everyone involved on a great run.

Bruce was super kind, it was a pleasure getting to chat with him. Looking forward to seeing his work in Goblin: Macbeth.

@BeefGriller It has been interesting. I think #Hemmer is a favorite of mine, but then I'm a little biased. LOL

Finally getting around to #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds. I was dubious that I could get behind anyone but #LeonardNemoy as #Spock, but this guy is pretty good. And #Hemmer is awesome too.
