Sometimes I wonder about the Universal Translators. Like, how the hell do they translate names of things? Names always have meaning, and those meanings are often tied up in legends, traditions, and costoms. That’s got to lead to a crap ton of confusion (see: Darmok).

For example:

Troi: Okay so we’ve had an emergency hail from a planet, but all we know is that it’s called “XXxxXxxHhttttT” by its natives

Picard: What does that mean?

Troi: Well, it roughly translates to “rubber ducky”, but other than that? No clue.

Picard: Okay, then, which planet is “Rubber Ducky”?

Troi: We’ve spent five hours looking it up in the data base, but we honestly have no idea.

Picard:……. what the fuck…..

Julian: Hello, there! Nice to meet you! My name is Julian Bashir

Alien: *screams at top of lungs*

Jadzia: What the hell does “whole glass of milk” mean?

Julian: I think that’s it’s name, but I can’t be sure.

sljdksjd that taika waititi quote about how loki’s last outfit in ragnarok is blue and purple because with hela and the hulk there’s already a lot of green is great and makes a lot of sense but contextually it’s like loki finds out he’s the cheap knockoff handbag to his big sister’s name brand designer handbag and is like FINE I’LL WEAR BLUE AND FUCK JEFF GOLDBLUM I BET HELA NEVER DID THAT HUH
