okay THIS WAS A BLAST thank you for all the questions! i am so sorry i couldn't answer every single one i have to run to set now but feel free to dm me on IG @team_karim if you want to ask me anything else and i'll try my best to answer!! 🖖
~~We're live now!~~
EDIT: Big THANK YOU to Karim and to everyone that left a question!! I think this went really well for our little instance and hopefully can inspire future AMAs all over the Fediverse!❤️
Also because this thread is understandably getting a lot of attention, here is a link to our Patreon. A few people have requested a higher tier, so we've finally added one🖖
30 more minutes! God I'm excited!
+24 hours. But you can still be excited!
yoooo, a celebrity on the fediverse? let's goooooo
Sorry I'm late guys, i'm locked in now! About to go crazy responding to all these questions lol
Where you a Trekkie before you got the role? If so, what's your favorite show/movie?
Hello Karim! How does it feel to be the first (or at least one of the first) celebrities to do an AMA on Lemmy?
looooool! It's an honor!! 🖖
What franchise you'd love to be in? Airing or otherwise.
i wanna work with James Gunn real bad lol. I think I'd do a phenomenal job at playing Cyborg, i hear they are making a new teen titans movie. BUT i grew up on Marvel, i am a HUGE x men nerd. I would take ANY role in the new x men universe. I've watched all the movies multiple times, watched all the cartoons, x men 97 is one of my favorite shows on television, read the comics... like... IM PREPARED!! I hope my time in the star trek universe primes me to become a bad ass superhero in the future
Whoa, Lemmy is going places! I never expected to see a Reddit-style AMA to appear here. I don't have any questions for you, Mr. Karim but I do wish you the best!
It's really refreshing to see a gay relationship happen organically on screen in a context outside of the contemporary stereotypes - and indeed, outside of human culture altogether. I realize Trek has done this a bit in the past with Culber/Stamets, and Reno - have you had to think about how LGBT culture exists in a multi-planetary society in the 4th millennium? Is it just plainly a utopia to strive for, for everyone? Is Jay Den's family's Triad House a non-issue in Klingon Society post Qu'onos, or was that something that happened out of necessity to preserve Klingon culture?
in the future literally no one cares who and how you love. like whether you love a guy, girl, nonbinary, or trans person, or if you're in a monogamous, or polyamorous relationship... its not a big deal like it is now in the 21st century. in the future, As long as you are being true to yourself and you're not harming yourself or others, literally no one cares lol. It just is. that's why i love on the show its just presented naturally, there's no big moment about it, it just exists and that's it. a triad house is completely a non-issue and no one even bats an eyelash at it.
Oh my gosh! Welcome to the Fediverse!
We're kind of obsessed with Star Trek here.
Um...I don't have a question. It's just so cool to see you here. And since Academy is relatively new, I should add welcome to the Trek fandom!
I hope our appreciation for your art shines through!
Is this the thread for questions?
What actor from Trek’s past, that primarily wore lots of makeup and prosthetics, do you look up at as a acting role model?
This is the thread for questions!
Amazing to see this!
What's your favourite Star Trek (can't say Starfleet Academy)and how did you end up here?
i love the 1st jj abrams movie. like... LOVE.
How did i end up here? on the 'verse? met u/Admin in real life and they asked me to come and i said hell yes.
Do you like cats?
tbh no
Weirdly, I just thought about how odd it seemed that the fediverse didn't have an AMA community and boom, inside 24-hours, here's this post! Very rad seeing this and now I'll have to add another show to my watch list!
Seriously, even if you don't see or answer these questions, it's super cool you're doing this and I'm glad one of the first on the platform is for Star Trek!
my first time on the fediverse but i love it here! might not be the last you see of me here.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm incredibly excited that you're doing this AMA on the 'verse, but I'm curious why you chose this over reddit?
also: Are you going to play the voyager game that was released today?
why not? What are you trying to say about the 'verse?! are you not worthy?! I think this community is cool af!
As for the game, with my shooting schedule i have zero time for games, but i might in the future
Hi Karim! It's amazing to have you here answering our questions! You interact so much with the fans, and it's amazing to see a community be created in real time through your interactions with us. I'm loving your preformance as Jay-Den, cementing him as one of my favorite Trek characters of all time. I've got a serious and a silly question!
jay-den and I are very similar. i think we both act VERY differently than how we look or are expected to be. i am a soft, gentle man and I believe that translates to Jay-den.
if i was in star trek personally, i would not be in starfleet. i would be an entertainer of some sort, on stage, or maybe in bartender on the ship
