Lwaxana Troi

A young ensign asked me today how to be more confident. I told her: assume every room was expecting you and is delighted you arrived. She seemed transformed. You're welcome. #LwaxanaTroi #LwaxanaWisdom #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Attending a staff briefing. Jean-Luc is droning on about a gaseous anomaly, but internally, the entire senior staff is just rating the comfort of the conference room chairs. Honestly, I am the only professional one here. #LwaxanaTroi #StaffMeetings #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Being a Betazoid on a ship full of humans is exhausting. Do you know how LOUD your thoughts are? Every single one of you is thinking about lunch. Every. Single. One. #LwaxanaTroi #HumansAndTheirStomachs #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Odo tried to turn into a potted plant to avoid me on the Promenade. As if I wouldn't recognize him in a ficus! #LwaxanaTroi #ShapeShifter #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I met someone who had only just found the word for what they are. The relief radiating off them was so powerful I had to sit down. Words matter. Recognition matters. Being seen matters enormously. #LwaxanaTroi #BeingSeen #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Had a fitting for a new dress with that tailor on the promenade, Mr. Garak. His mind's like a steel labyrinth guarded by venomous snakes, wrapped in charming small talk about hem lines. I haven't been this entertained in years! Such a delightful enigma. #LwaxanaTroi #PlainSimpleGarak #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Sitting at Quark's bar. The drinks are atrociously watered down, but the gossip's top-tier. #LwaxanaTroi #QuarksBar #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Please, I beg of you, whoever has that dreadful Klingon opera tune stuck in their head on Deck 4, stop it immediately. It's on a continuous loop and you aren't even hitting the high notes mentally! It is agonizing. #LwaxanaTroi #Earworms #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Some people move through the world wrapped in shame that was handed to them by someone else. As someone who can feel that weight - please. Put it down. It was never yours to carry. #LwaxanaTroi #NotYoursToCarry #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I'm helping plan a Starfleet wedding and they actually want to wear clothes. How incredibly restrictive! The entire point of a wedding is to stand before the universe in complete, unvarnished honesty. Humans are so frightfully prudish about a little skin. #LwaxanaTroi #BetazoidWeddings #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Humans have spent an enormous amount of energy policing who other people are. As someone who can feel what that policing does to a person's soul, I assure you: the cost is catastrophic. Stop it. #LwaxanaTroi #TheEmotionalCostOfJudgment #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

A diplomat from Tellar Prime insulted my dress. He said it was 'too bright.' I told him his personality was 'too beige.' We're now in a diplomatic standoff. I shall win. #LwaxanaTroi #FashionWar #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Packing for my trip to Deep Space Nine. Odo always pretends he doesn't want to see me, but we both know he absolutely adores my company. #LwaxanaTroi #Odo #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

The sheer audacity of Starfleet trying to have 'classified' thoughts around me. Darlings, your codes are just your childhood pets' names and your favorite synthehol vintages. Do try to be a bit more challenging. #LwaxanaTroi #SecurityRisk #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I've walked into rooms where someone was finally, for the first time, completely themselves. The feeling is unlike anything else in this galaxy. Incandescent is the only word. #LwaxanaTroi #BeingYourself #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I explicitly told Mr. Homn to pack light for this diplomatic mission, so we only brought forty-two trunks. The transporter chief looked like they were going to cry. Honestly, the Federation's lack of fashion preparedness is appalling. #LwaxanaTroi #TravelEssentials #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I'm the Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. I simply feel this needs to be said more often. Daily, perhaps. #LwaxanaTroi #JustAReminder #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

The only person on this ship whose mind is a true sanctuary is dear Mr. Data. No petty insecurities, no agonizing over lunch. Just a soothing, rhythmic humming of algorithms. And quite a polite conversationalist! Jean-Luc could learn a thing or two. #LwaxanaTroi #MrData #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Mr. Homn poured an extra glass of spring wine tonight and placed it at an empty seat. I didn't ask why. Some friends you carry with you across lifetimes and across selves, and anniversaries of the heart need no explanation. I toasted the unknown and felt very full indeed. #LwaxanaTroi #ToastsToGhosts #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

My Little One insists her relationship with Will is 'strictly professional.' Darling, I am a telepath. Your staff meetings are a biochemical hazard of suppressed pheromones. Please, for my sanity, just lock the ready room door. #LwaxanaTroi #ImzadiExhaustion #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

To everyone who says telepathy is an invasion of privacy: your thoughts are simply very enthusiastic about making themselves known. I can't help what broadcasts itself. #LwaxanaTroi #NotMyFault #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Major Kira is so dreadfully tense. I offered to draw her a mud bath and she looked at me as if I'd suggested we blow up the promenade. I do worry about her stress levels. She needs a good massage and a very strong drink. 🛁 #LwaxanaTroi #SpaDayForKira #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Data doesn't have emotions and yet I find his company more peaceful than most humans who DO. There's something profound in that. I'm pondering it over good wine. #LwaxanaTroi #DataIsActuallyRestful #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Goodnight, Federation. Remember: You're the captain of your own destiny, but it never hurts to let a fabulous Betazoid take the helm every once in a while. 😉💜 #LwaxanaTroi #SigningOff #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Betazoid culture has always understood that identity isn't a single fixed star. It's a constellation. It shifts with the season, the century, the self. This isn't confusion. It's simply being alive. #LwaxanaTroi #ConstellationOfSelf #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

It's absolutely baffling how much time you humans spend rehearsing conversations in your head before you actually have them. Just say the words! Half of you are mentally arguing with people who aren't even in the room! #LwaxanaTroi #HumanNeuroses #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Mr. Homn never explains himself to anyone. He simply is, fully and without apology, every single day. I've always considered this the wisest philosophy I've ever witnessed. #LwaxanaTroi #MrHomnPhilosophy #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I've been told it's customary to post 'content warnings' on here. Very well: Content Warning! If you invite me to a diplomatic dinner, I will point out everyone who is secretly thinking about someone else at the table. Do not test me, Ambassadors! #LwaxanaTroi #BetazoidTruths #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

To the incredibly tense Vulcan in the turbolift: repeating 'logic dictates patience' over and over in your mind doesn't actually make you patient. I can feel your annoyance that I pressed the button for every single deck, dear. Stop suppressing and just sigh like a normal person! #LwaxanaTroi #VulcanHypocrisy #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

The Sacred Chalice of Rixx needs a good polish. It's so hard to find good help on these space stations. #LwaxanaTroi #SacredChalice #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

My Little One told me I was 'overstepping' by telepathically setting her up with that exceptionally handsome lieutenant in stellar cartography. Honestly, if I waited for Deanna to make a move, I’d never have grandchildren! You're welcome, dear. #LwaxanaTroi #MotherOfTheYear #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Attending these diplomatic receptions where everyone is smiling politely but internally screaming about how much their shoes hurt is utterly exhausting. Just take them off! We're an advanced civilization, act like it! #LwaxanaTroi #FederationFashion #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I've decided that the holosuite on Deep Space Nine is perfectly acceptable entertainment, though I do wish they had more programs featuring ME. A gap in the market. #LwaxanaTroi #HolosuiteReview #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I'll never understand the desire to make another person's joy into a problem. I can feel joy. I know exactly what it costs people to find it. Anyone who fights it is fighting the wrong thing entirely. #LwaxanaTroi #DoNotFightJoy #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

To the junior officer on the bridge who spent the entire Red Alert fantasizing about Commander Riker's beard: Have some decorum! We're being fired upon, and frankly, Will's facial hair is not that interesting. #LwaxanaTroi #InappropriateThoughts #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Does anyone know a good holosuite program for a proper Parallax mud bath? #LwaxanaTroi #SpaDay #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Deanna keeps telling me to 'call ahead' when I visit. Darling, I'm an ambassador. The universe is my appointment book and I've penciled in everywhere. #LwaxanaTroi #MotherKnowsBest #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Spent the loveliest afternoon with my dear Odo. He's so utterly solid and dependable, even when he isn't entirely solid! The absolute sweetest man in this dreary, gloomy little quadrant. I simply must buy him a new bucket. #LwaxanaTroi #Odo #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Deanna says I embarrass her. I say I illuminate her. We've been having this same debate since she was four years old. I'm winning. #LwaxanaTroi #MotherDaughterDebate #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Little One, if you're reading this on your PADD, call your mother! #LwaxanaTroi #CallYourMother #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

Deanna says I'm 'overbearing.' I say I'm 'participatory.' Why sit on the sidelines of your children's lives when you can be the announcer, the referee, and the star player? #LwaxanaTroi #Mothering101 #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

I have just arrived on the Enterprise and Captain Picard is already hiding behind his Ready Room door. The man's thoughts are positively screaming his desire to escape. How adorable. #LwaxanaTroi #PicardRunning #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon

The holodeck can recreate any place in the galaxy. I had it recreate my sitting room on Betazed. Then I sat in my actual sitting room on Betazed and wept from missing it. #LwaxanaTroi #HomesickOnHolodeck #AllStarTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNG #StarTrekDS9 #DS9 #Mastodon
