Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein

The Undiscovered Mythos

Cthulhu Trek (2008) by Leslie Thomas

Cthulhu Trek – Written and Edited Les Thomas, Layout and Illustrations Cabin Campbell, 1st. Edition, 2008. Star Trek collides with Lovecraftain horror. Robert Blochʼs Lovecraft/ Star Trek connection, Jeffery Combs HPL/ ST characters. Plus Sutter Cane (sometimes spelled Kane) Star Trek Fiction (Warning: Explicit sex and violence). $4.00 —Leslie Thomas, 13th Hour Books

In the early 1930s, science fiction fandom came into being. One of the characteristics of this fandom was the strong influence of the amateur journalism movement. It wasn’t just that there were fanatical readers of pulp fiction, but they documented their love and excitement, their fan art and fan poetry and fanfiction, their discussions and feuds.

Today, we talk about  fandom studies  with textbooks like the  Fan Fiction Studies Reader because these early ‘zines are the trace fossils of the fans themselves, most of whom are sadly gone and can no longer give us living memories of what it was like to buy the magazines off the rack, to organize the first conventions, make their own costumes at home. To carry out debates by mail, and see the wonders and terrors of the Atomic Age and Space Age and finally the Digital Age be manifest around them.

As the fans grew up, fandom grew up with them. Scholars like Brian Wilson have traced the history of rule 34 from the first nude artwork that graced the 1930s fanzines to the Star Trek slashfic written and analyzed by Joanna Russ  to the internet erotica of today . Things percolated together and got profoundly, lovingly,  weird . Mash-ups between different genres, different properties, entirely different fandoms came together, often just for laughs or following some singular vision of “Hey, wouldn’t this be cool?” or “Hey, wouldn’t this be hot?”

Leslie Thomas is a fan of both Star Trek and the Cthulhu Mythos. His 2008 ‘zine  Cthulhu Trek  is a labor of love, an unpaginated 16-page staplebound black-and-white expression of profound and utter nerdiness—and it is, in many ways, an exemplar of what a fanzine can be: fun, scholarly by its own lights, and brimming with creativity and enthusiasm.

McCoy opened another cabinet and, from it he pulled out a small jar and handed it to Kirk. “I have to ask Jim, but did you have sex with a Yithian lately,” a slight smile crossed his kindly face as he place [sic] the alcohol back into its cabinet. —Leslie Thomas, “Cream” in  Cthulhu Trek

The first few pages of the ‘zine trace connections between Star Trek and the Mythos—principally via Robert Bloch, who wrote three episodes of the original series, and versatile actor Jeffrey Combs whose credits include multiple roles in both Star Trek series and various Lovecraftian films and adaptations, most especially the  Re-Animator  series,  From Beyond, The Evil Clergyman, Necronomicon: Book of the Dead , and  The Dunwich Horror  (2009).

Like a good hoax, Thomas then transitions into fanfiction—presenting pieces of the Mythos-inflected Star Trek fiction of Sutter Kane . Of these, the bare two pages of Kirk picking up an extraterrestrial (or should that be extratemporal?) STD are perhaps the most memorable, although Chekov’s encounter with a dominatrix is certainly not something that will be forgotten in a hurry, barring blunt forced trauma to the head or the alcoholic equivalent.

Cthulhu Trek  ends with the rather odd bit of trivia that Will Wheaton starred in  The Curse  (1987) , a rarely-remembered film based on Lovecraft’s “The Colour out of Space.” Wheaton, of course, gained popularity by playing Wesley Crusher on  Star Trek: The Next Generation , and if it feels weird to turn the page from Sulu in the grips of madness to a tidbit that feels straight out of the Internet Movie Database…well, it is. Like all fanzines, Cthulhu Trek is idiosyncratic, produced by one writer who was also his own editor, with Cabin Campbell as illustrator and layout artist.

Could Thomas have taken it further? Could he have produced a full-fledged erotic Star Trek/Cthulhu Mythos opus, self-published it, and reached the heights of fame that E. L. James did? Maybe. So could you. What he did instead was write and publish a funny little chapbook as a bit of amusement for himself and his fellow fans. Which is pratically the definition for what fanfiction is: the desire not just to create something inspired by some work, but to share it with others. That is what  Cthulhu Trek  is, ultimately; not a masturbation aid, but an endearing effort to share the love of Star Trak and the Cthulhu Mythos.

TORONTO —  Star Trek ’s vast transmedia universe often reminds me of the fandom’s “infinite diversity in infinite combinations” (IDIC) philosophy. 

Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry originally intended IDIC as a Vulcan belief in the beauty of universal acceptance, which informed the universe’s worldbuilding. Many Trekkies took IDIC as permission to freely explore the “infinite diversities” of identities and sexualities in their fan activities. Fanfiction, fanart, and cosplay have many origins in Star Trek fandom.

To go boldly at the Varley Art Gallery, a regional cultural center in Markham, a Greater Toronto Area city, reflects a burgeoning field of contemporary art that explores fandom as a conceptual framework for art and exhibition making. The show, organized around contemporary artists who engage with Star Trek fandom, “aims to illustrate that space is not the final frontier, but rather a rich and diverse arena where science fiction, contemporary art, and fandom can coalesce,” writes curator Anik Glaude in the exhibition’s introductory wall text. While the show’s title references the series’ iconic “Space is the Final Frontier” speech, not all the works are Star Trek related. The result is a wavering curatorial directive: The show pulls back from fully exploring Star Trek because not all the works engage with it.

This jarring incongruity is established upon entering the first gallery space. To the left, a black-painted title wall mimics the cyan-blue-hued digital displays of Star Trek: The Next Generation’ s Enterprise starboard consoles. On the opposite wall, Sonny Assu’s (Ligwiłda’xw of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nations) large-scale vinyl print depicts a futurist Northwest Coast-style spaceship flying high above an abandoned forest village site with dilapidated totem poles. 

There’s no denying it’s a bold work. It is identified as a major inspiration for the show. But it has nothing to do with Star Trek : it comes from Assu’s 2014–16 Interventions on the Imaginary series, digital interventions of Canadian landscape paintings, a majority of which are by the West Coast modernist Emily Carr , perpetuating the fantasy of terra nullius . (Assu was commissioned to create an additional trio of works for the show that more directly engage with The Next Generation .)

While the outer space conjured in  To go boldly  feels vast, many works are wall-mounted, resulting in an expanse of wooden floors and empty white wall spaces that make the show appear sparse in its floor plan. Granted, many of the pieces were commissioned and accompanied by dense didactic text on shiny, Enterprise-console-mimicking labels. But as a writer and curator who researches fandom collaborative processes, I yearned for more tangible interpretive displays of fannish material culture — even a vitrine with fan zines and other Trekkie fan works would have been fine.

To its credit, the show includes strong works. Australian-Canadian artist Dara Gellman’s three-minute single-channel video, “Alien Kisses” (1998), reclaims a scene from a 1995 S tar Trek: Deep Space Nine episode in which two women kiss. The video engages in many strategies typical of “ vidding ,” a fannish form of remix practice that creates music videos from found video sources. There’s the incremental, slow-burn pacing, a pixellated blue quality (likely due to copying footage from one VCR tape to another), a sensuous mid-tempo techno soundtrack, and a femslash gaze to revel in. Canadian artist Alex McLeod’s commissioned “Space Fossil” animation and “Chess Growth” 3D-printed chess set tackle the fanfiction “canon divergence” concept, imagining a Star Trek: The Next Generation “What If?” scenario where the Enterprise crew ignore warnings about warp drive’s harm on subspace life. (See the 1993 “Force of Nature” episode.) Featuring a fossilized Enterprise floating on an asteroid field, the works comment on climate change, but they could also be a comment on how toxic beliefs — for example, racist and sexist backlashes against diverse characters in a large sci-fi/fantasy fandom like Star Wars — can take hold in a fandom’s universe and not let go.

Still, I wondered, in my own fix-it on the exhibition, what would happen if the show opened with “You are the dreamer, and the dream” (2018) by Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk Nation/Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians), a calligram tucked away on one side of the Main Gallery? It’s an arrangement of a Deep Space Nine speech from its highly regarded “Far Beyond the Stars” episode, in which the space station’s Black Starfleet commanding officer imagines he’s a struggling science-fiction author in the 1950s whose story about a Black captain leading a space station is rejected. Hopinka arranges the impassioned speech into the shape of a Ho-Chunk burial mound. It faithfully interprets how fans hold close Star Trek and its “infinite diversities.”

I would have placed that work front and center. 

To go boldly continues at the Varley Art Gallery of Markham (216 Main Street Unionville, Markham, Ontario) through September 2. The exhibition was curated by Anik Glaude.

Super Fun Trailer For Lucasfilm's STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW Series!

Glorious cthulhu fan art by creature box.

I absolutely love this Cthulhu illustration created by Creature Box . It's easily one of the coolest and most fun designs of the creature I've seen. 

Cthulhu is a cosmic entity that was created by H.P. Lovecraft  for a short story called "The Call of Cthulhu," which was published in 1928. This is a creature that needs to be brought to life in modern day cinema.

Why Is Worf Still Star Trek’s Only Klingon In Starfleet?

3 star trek casts that sadly can’t have a full reunion like picard, i don't care if modern star trek breaks established canon.

The popular sci-fi franchise Star Trek   has had its fair share of funny moments. Even though it didn't start out as a comedy, it worked with a lot of amusing characters and included scenes so bizarre that they made many people laugh.

RELATED:  Star Trek: 10 Hilariously Weird Alien Races, Ranked

Not to mention the arguments between various heroes, who were often forced to work together even though they didn't get along or were simply too different to always see eye to eye. This happened even to the most friendly duos , such as Kirk and Spock. Since Star Trek is so popular, many fans have shared their own fan art photos online, and some of them are downright hilarious.

Time To Boldly Go

Sometimes even the best-planned missions don't go the way you'd like, as ADSEPI3, the creator of this fan art, shows. Captain Kirk and his crew face a dangerous enemy who feeds on their fear, so Kirk comes up with a brilliant plan to drug his crewmates so that they don't feel fear.

Except that once the whole crew is drugged, Kirk finds out that he can't really work with them... not even with Spock, who usually manages to be calm no matter what the circumstances. Chekov is trying to conquer the ship, Dr. McCoy is incapable of standing up and poor Spock thinks he's a chessboard.

Happy Spock

When Spock believed that he murdered Kirk while he wasn't of sound mind, it made him sadder than anything else could have. He was willing to resign his position and go to prison.

Fortunately for Spock, Kirk's death was just a ruse designed by doctor McCoy, who used his medical knowledge to get Kirk out of a fight he had no chance of winning. When Spock saw Kirk alive, there was a great difference between how he wished to react and how he actually reacted, as the DeviantArt user Simengt shows. For the first time, the viewers have actually seen what it would look like if Spock didn't try to control his emotions.

The Ultimate Crossover

Ever since the Star Wars premiered in the 1970s, fans have argued which sci-fi franchise is better - whether Star Trek or Star Wars . No matter what the answer is, when these two stories meet, something hilarious usually happens - like in this fan art by the DeviantArt user Irise.

When Darth Vader has a great plan to kidnap Chekov, he has no idea the young Enterprise crew member will steal his lightsaber. Not that you can really blame Chekov for taking what isn't his. The lightsaber is pretty cool, after all. Unfortunately for Chekov, neither Darth Vader nor his crew members are excited about the theft.

Best Friends

In the original Star Trek TV show, Star Trek: TOS , Kirk and Spock were friends from the start. However, in the films by J.J. Abrams, these two had a rocky start, to say the least. Kirk hated Spock and Spock thought Kirk was impulsive and reckless (which he was, to a certain degree).

RELATED: Top 10 Vulcans In Star Trek, Ranked

While they were still at the Starfleet Academy, Kirk spent hours complaining about Spock to his friend Leonard McCoy, who'd probably wish he could be anywhere else but there so that he wouldn't have to listen to Kirk's complaints. But as the creator of this fan art demonstrates, Kirk should sometimes be more careful and hold his tongue.

Typical Problems

This fan art by an unfortunately unknown creator shows that even Star Trek captains face typical problems of today's society - such as the necessity to watch their diet so that they wouldn't put on too much weight.

Unlike Kirk, Spock never seemed to struggle with his weight, which is a typical characteristic for his species. There have never been many overweight Vulcans. You can't help but feel sorry for Kirk in this fan art, since he clearly isn't enjoying his salad and would much rather have whatever Spock's eating. To top it all off, Spock is inadvertently torturing his captain by not eating the delicious food he has on his plate.

Do Your Thing

This cute fan art by the creatorofuniverses shows one of the reasons why James T. Kirk is such a great captain... and also, why he often drives the people around him crazy. Kirk is one of the most independent and stubborn people in the Enterprise crew and no matter what his friends suggest, he still always does his own thing.

Even if everybody else can see it's very dangerous or downright insane, Kirk is still going to do it, no matter what his best friend Spock, another best friend McCoy, or his old mentor Christopher Pike thinks... and he's going to do it in style!

Being Nice Doesn't Work

Even though the creators of Star Trek never explicitly stated it, many fans believe that Kirk and Spock were more than just friends. And other fans believe that Kirk was much closer to Leonard McCoy, AKA Bones, than he showed. In this fan art by Taco, Kirk actually proves that there's no point in trying to do something nice for people around you... especially McCoy.

RELATED: Star Trek: 10 Fan Fiction Relationships We Wish Were Real

When Kirk brings his boyfriend a flower, he gets stabbed by a hypospray in return. This is definitely not the reaction Kirk was hoping for when he gave the flower to McCoy, but maybe he'll at least be more careful in the future.

Hotter Than Tea

Let's step away from Kirk, Spock, and the original crew for a moment. This fan art posted on Pinterest by Etsy is beautiful in its simplicity. You can also use it for paying a compliment to your girlfriend or a boyfriend if they know Star Trek: The Next Generation and Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

No matter what happened, Captain Picard was always looking forward to a nice hot cup of tea, Earl Grey, more specifically. And his quote: "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." became one of the most famous ones in the show. This fan art would also probably look great printed on a t-shirt, just to give you a suggestion.

Confused Spock

The first officer Spock doesn't always have it easy with his human colleagues on the board of the starship Enterprise . The differences between Vulcans and humans are great, and doctor McCoy often likes to make fun of Spock, of his alien looks, his behavior, even his eating habits.

Most Vulcans are vegetarians, a fact which McCoy apparently finds hilarious in this fan art by the Pinterest user raffaela. However, Spock is no wallflower, and he can certainly hold his own in an argument with McCoy. Even though he'd never raise his voice at the doctor, Spock always finds a clever way to dismiss McCoy's remarks.

Khan Everywhere

There was already one crossover fan art on this list, but this one also deserves a spot here. To say that Spock isn't a fan of Khan would be putting it mildly. The superhuman does indirectly kill captain Kirk, after all - something which causes Spock to spiral into grief and anger.

And as this fan art by Maugryph proves, Spock would stop at nothing to find Khan and punish him for his crimes. Even if it meant crossing over to the Hobbit   franchise in which Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Khan in Star Trek , voiced the frightening dragon Smaug. One thing's certain - if anybody can manage to fight a dragon, it's Spock.

Nice! Although looking at your title arrowhead, it occurs to me that the "A" with the arrow and the arrowhead itself are very similar. Unless you're set on using the standard Trek arrowhead, would it be possible to merge the two icons into one? I'm thinking along the lines of having the arrowhead having the horizontal arrow from the "A". Not sure how well that would work without sketching it out.  

I'm very interested in this!
