Barbara Fett's Tumblr

Multifandom blog, mainly Star Wars, MLP:FiM, Inception, and Flight Rising. Yes, I tag all my posts by fandom. I mainly post dream journal entries, fanfic, and random thoughts.

Art Post #10 for my Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest.

[barbarafett]

Yet another coli egg! Thank you, Kelp Beds!

cursed biology cows? 🐄

all domestic cattle are all descended from the Aurochs, an enormous ice-age megafauna bovid that ranged from Europe to Asia to North Africa!

Aurochs were actually domesticated at LEAST twice in different areas more than 10,000 years ago, which is why Indian Zebu-type cattle look so different from European cattle!

they share a common ancestor but different roots. 

more importantly though, it means that at least two separate groups of neolithic humans looked at a six-foot-tall jet black bovine rage machine and thought “gonna make friends with that”, and then they did it. those wild sons of bitches, they did it.

I thought George R.R. Martin made that word up.

Christopher: A woman? Kirk: A crewman.

OH LOOK AT THAT THE 1960S

[neil-kumiko]

AND SHE’S IN COMMAND GOLD FUCKERS.

She’s not in Medical blue, a caretaking, feminine role.  

Those in Gold were either OFFICERS, NAVIGATORS, PILOTS, TACTICAL OFFICERS, or WEAPONS SPECIALISTS.

This is the Kirk everyone likes to forget.

Y’all, if you care about feminism, then you ought to care about the history and context of the miniskirt. The 60s were an era of rebellion against the 50s, and the skirts were part of it. They were literally cutting edge fashion, and a statement that women made against the more housewifey style of skirt from the decade before. It was Grace Lee Whitney herself who suggested to Roddenberry that they wear them, and Nichelle Nichols has said she never had a problem with them. They are a product of their time yes, but the women chose to wear them because of the context of that time.

Also some men in Starfleet ware miniskirts and dresses:

And some of the women wear pants:

They’re given the power of choice, regardless of gender or sex.

Shit ‘-’ None of this even clicked to me - Thats fucking glorious :D

[duckbunny]

Picard in that dress is so good. Look at him! He looks formal and serious and dignified! He looks like he’s captain of his ship and he’s got some important business to do. And he’s in a dress and tights. And it’s not a joke. It’s not a joke about a man in a dress! It’s just, you know, a man who is wearing a dress, and that’s normal and appropriate. It’s part of the uniform. It fits him. It’s totally unremarkable and that is so rare and I’m so happy.

[absynthe--minded]

I feel obligated to point out that this is Picard’s literal dress uniform (his Extra Special Fancy Uniform), and he hated his dress uniform? But he hated it because the collar was uncomfortable, not because it was A Dress. There’s zero commentary on how it’s A Dress and a lot of bitching about its lack of comfort.

I did not know that about the '60s miniskirts! That is awesome! (BTW, first Star Trek post I've ever reblogged. Yes, I like Star Trek too. No, I am not at all ashamed of it. Yes, even though Star Wars is my first fandom love. Yes, we exist and are valid fans.)

[barbarafett]

I think this is only my second or third Coli egg!

Intimidation

Art Post #9 for my Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest. This is the note that Storm finds on her desk, left there by the school bullies.

[barbarafett]

Art Post #8 for my Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest. Kiran takes his first step into a larger world by boarding the school ‘bus’ for the first time.

[barbarafett]

Art Post #7 for my Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest. This is Kiran taking a bath in a pond.

The Hatchling

Art Post #6 for my Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest. (This drawing is a visual shoutout to this image from The Mandalorian, because that show inspired me to take this Pinkerlocke thread in this particular direction. ;-) )

[barbarafett]

I made a thread banner for my Pinkerlocke thread! Now I just need a signature button.

[barbarafett]

Art Post #4 for Cloudcutter’s Rest. Clyde rescues Storm from the ocean by giving her a lift back onto the deck.

[barbarafett]

Art Post #3 from my newest Pinkerlocke thread, Cloudcutter’s Rest. Here we see Storm having the cut on her arm bandaged by the ship’s healer, Nirutam (why, yes, it is a Sdrawckab Name ;-) ).

[barbarafett]

Today I swept and mopped the kitchen and dining room, and cleaned the bathtub and shower walls. This is the only Internet platform I'm on where this is recognized as a valid accomplishment.

Inception 30 Day Challenge 2020: Day 1

Favorite scene: The Planning

[barbarafett]

Oh hai this is my favorite scene, too!

I love the deep dive into how dreamshare works in general, and hiw this job will work in particular. I also love the team dynamics and personalities on display!

My second choice would be the scene nearer the beginning with Arthur and Ariadne on the infinite staircase, same reasons.

[barbarafett]

Lookout

Art post #2 for my new Pinkerlocke, Cloudcutter’s Rest. This is Aedan, the Cloudcutter’s lookout, doing his job.

[barbarafett]

Posting the first image for my NEW Pinkerlocke thread, Cloudcutter’s Rest, in advance so I will have it ready when I need it. This is the view from afar of the broken tower that Storm decides to make her new home.

[barbarafett]

Finally! Here are the last three pieces of art I needed to complete all the art tasks from my first Pinkerlocke challenge, From Ember Into Flame. (I included the uncolored lineart from the last piece as a bonus.
