Like 99% of the original fan fic tropes came from Star Trek I’m not even joking
- fuck or die
- alien sex pollen
- evil alternate mirror au
- time travel au
- sped up ageing
- stuck in a frozen cave
- body heat sharing
- alien drunk disease
- body swap
- this man is my exact double
like there are so man more and I always see people being like ‘wtf where did the sex pollen trope even come from’ and the answer is Star Trek
The best part is?
All of this is canon.
