amok us

the space seed episode of tos where they find khan and the ss botany bay is so funny because right off the bat you have kirk being like "yeah let's get that historian whats-her-name out there, maybe she can be useful for once" and it's like WOAH what's up with the liberal arts hate?? why is kirk being such a bitch to this lady for no reason. then you meet her and she's fucking obsessed with historical strongmen to the point of covering her walls in her own fanart. she lives on a spaceship in a utopian technofuture and she sleeps surrounded by busts of kings on purpose. her vibes are fashy and kirk is right to be a bitch, actually.

then they get to the botany bay and she's immediately driven to distraction by how horny she is for ricardo montalban under a thick layer of extra-dark foundation. sorry i'm gonna compare montalban with and without the makeup because it is SO distracting

also she refers to sikhs in the past tense implying that at some point in the last two hundred years there was a genocide that they're just glossing over. since she also calls them a warrior race it's also possible that she's just racist and somewhere on board the enterprise there are sikh crew members who dislike her as much as kirk does.

anyway you can assume that this is her first actual away mission and she fumbled immediately because she was so hot for khan but it's much funnier if this isn't the first time this has happened. every time they have to interact with a historical earth artifact she gets so horned up thinking about being a tradwife that she's rendered speechless. spock stays polite but kirk can't stand her. by the time kirk found out she was the type of person to paint her own portraits of napoleon and roman emperors to hang in her quarters it was too late to send her back and request literally anyone else. he's supposed to court martial her but offers to let her stay on fashy eugenics planet just so he won't have to keep her on his ship anymore. it's unclear if he lets her take her paintings or jettisons them into space.

this is the funniest analysis of “Space Seed” I've ever seen

nat-20s

Me age 15 reading pride and prejudice: HOW could Charlotte marry gross Mr Collins isn't that a betrayal to every ideal of love???!?!?!

Me, now, in my mid-twenties, looking at a woman with no prospects and no chance of independence taking a marriage that not only makes her well off but also gets her an estate big enough that she barely ever even has to interact with her admittedly still shitty husband: actually that's a pretty solid deal lmao good for her

nat-20s

Do I think Lizzie was wrong for rejecting Mr Collins? Absolutely not I'll cheer for her every time. But do I think Charlotte was wrong for being like well I can either die destitute, desperately try to find a job I have no qualifications for, or I can get a kick ass garden in exchange for some dude literally just being able to say he's married? No I Get It... Who amoungst us hasn't dreamed of marrying a rich man who leaves us alone with a platinum credit card...

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

crisisoninfintefandoms

My instinct is to agree with this, but like, when I really think about it…

No money, no credit cards, identification is all vocal/fingerprints/retinal, so no wallet.

Again, doors are voice activated, or just unlocked by entering a code. No keys.

Communication devices are tiny and stick onto clothing starting in Next Gen. TOS had bulkier communication that they carried around or kept in, like, packs and stuff, so the arguments for pockets is a little more valid, and if I remember correctly, those costumes did have pockets, tho I could be wrong about that. But anything post TNG, the point is moot anyway.

Tricorders and phasers are really the only thing anyone’s carrying around, and that’s usually on away missions where they’d be bring their packs/holsters or just have them out. I mean, who wants to stick a phaser in their pocket?

So, yeah. There’s not much little stuff people need to carry around everywhere. And if they are preparing for a longer journey or want to bring bulkier things, well…just bring a bag. It fits more anyway.

what if i find a cool rock and want to take it home with me

fair-itself

Every time a member of the USS Enterprise has found a cool rock and taken it home, it has resulted in eleven deaths, six temporal displacements, the holodecks breaking again, and somebody getting turned into a lizard. Pockets are a privilege, not a right.

I’ve gotten more notes on this comment than anything else I’ve ever posted, but this is the best addition to it I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

Tonight in ‘reddit headines that made me laugh’

dressed-in-rain

I like in the comments some people are like “well, obviously people are getting body mods and who wouldn’t choose to make themselves hot?” and it’s like.

Folks.

If we’re living in the cyberpunk dystopia and I’m getting myself modded up I’m not going to go for “sexy kewpie doll.” I’m going to have myself turned into like, a 7-foot tall monstrosity with Doc Ock arms and laser eyes. Look, I don’t care if some extra bulk has to be added around my midsection to support the infrastructure, I could give a shit about my waist-to-hip ratio, I just want to be able to scale walls, snatch helicopters out of the sky and throw them at Jeff Bezos.

fluoresensitive-deactivated2024

Reading the “Fucking Trans Women” zine and realizing we are taught literally bupkiss about penises (about any genitalia really) so the myth that we’re all forced to know everything about dicks and nothing about vaginas is super false

fluoresensitive-deactivated2024

And knowing that penises are just clitori and clitori are just penises is like, dude …meat is meat

fluoresensitive-deactivated2024

The way people talk about dicks is insane, like I’m always anti-body shaming but now I’m extra “stop being weird about penises!”

haunted dolls are cool not scary like bro there's a friend in there

spacepiratecaptainsexy

I don't have a haunted doll, but my house has been very haunted ever since I was little. So when I hear a cabinet open I'm just desensitized and I'm like "Please close that, thank you" And sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, and when they don't I'm just casually like "rude". Or when something moves or disappears, I'm like " Don't be touching my belongings please I worked for those, you didn't. I need that thing." And I've had friends witness cups just move across my counter or doors and cabinets open and close and they're astounded when I casually and calmly say "Please close that" Or "Don't you be touching stuff over there" Unfazed and they're always terrified and like "wtf" And my answer is always "They're just people, they were alive once, they know what's up, chill"

You heard them, be nice to the ghosts

online performatism has honestly gotten so out of hand imo (especially on tik tok). I’ve seen a guy stack two rocks on top of each other by a river just for the comments to scold him “what happened to leave no trace”. a girl bought an ugly sweater from goodwill to repurpose into yarn just for everyone to go “u hate fat ppl? I can’t believe you bought a plus sized shirt just to destroy it”. even just ppl picking up silly little hobbies like resin art just to get screamed at for polluting the earth. what happened to letting ppl exist and have fun? ofc u can try to practice as much sustainability in your life as possible, but in late stage capitalism it is so hard to be ethical. greenwashing, tofu comes in plastic packaging, your vegetables traveled thousands of miles, goodwill is evil etc etc. there r ppl that should be called out (millionaires billionaires corporations) but there comes a point where so called “activism” is just an excuse to be mean

assiraphales

I’m not saying there isn’t issues w all of the above. I’m fully aware that they can be Bad. rockstacking can have negative effects on the ecosystem. some thrift stores don’t have a lot of plus size fashion at affordable prices. resin art probably will eventual end up in a landfill. this is more about the new online culture of purposefully trying to nitpick and find something problematic, and for an entire comment section to dogpile on one individual to “teach them a lesson”. to take an innocuous sentiment and combat it with anger. mob mentality

the thing about AI art is there's a whole- wait. did you guys hear that

oh shit heimdall just sounded the gjallarhorn to signal the arrival of naglfari

spacedoutsheepy

an interesting part of migrating to tumblr and learning its culture is figuring out by clues how bloggers announce that they don't give a fuck about whatever issue of the week is happening and don't want to get wrapped up in the discourse. If that's indeed what this means idk

rabbitindisguise

that's very close, it mostly signals that the awareness of the discourse has reached critical mass on people's dashboards and folks are parodying the most common popular posts. Kind of like a clown routine making fun of other clowns when they're not looking, except everyone can see it and hits reblog anyways. There's a whole category of post that makes fun of the discourse of pet ownership that's like "lumberjack is an invasive species in hardware stores." Self aware humor is the vibe. Don't worry it's easy, just use form without the original context like

"learning about tumblr culture like" *spins roulette wheel* "running outside and touching grass all the time"

"actually that's not quite true because" *spins roulette wheel* "most tumblr users don't know what outside is nevermind how to touch things"

it's also a subtle jab at the original conversation being really dumb. It's not about not commenting or participating, it's PVP. You've just entered an attack zone, anyone can jump in on this conversation and own you or me or both of us at any time. It's great.
