@claudiadelionlac
after the current ep of snw, I've got to ask: which of these multi-series star trek teams would you like to see in survival mode on a dinosaur-filled planet?
b'elanna torres, kira nerys, deanna troi & una chin riley
spock, garak, neelix & q
the doctor, odo, data & erica ortegas
jett reno, leonard mccoy, seven of nine & quark
jim kirk, kathryn janeway, brad boimler & jadzia dax
so christopher nolan drilled into an active historical site to rig a scene, dumped a bunch of plastic skeletons into the ocean with no plan to fish them out, and ruined an actual Viking ship on loan from sweden and refuses to pay for damages. all for that garbage movie.
Swedish nonprofit alleges cost to repair replica was $6,000 but Universal – which made $264m on film’s opening weekend – has not stumped up

looking for a news outlet to pick up the archeologist drama over this but you can google the practical effects used for the cyclops and find the pictures pretty easily
random Wyatt Hayes headcanons because I can’t sleep (Queen Dr. Lisa under the cut)
he played college hockey for 2 years before he was drafted
his older sister Kristy didn’t come out to their parents until they were both in college and out of the house and when the parents disowned her Wyatt disowned them because there’s no universe where his big sister is NOT his family
Kristy went to U of Toronto so when Wyatt got drafted by the Guardians it felt like fate
He and Kristy were roommates his first few years in Toronto because even his ELC felt like a lot of money and that freaked him out and also it just felt nice coming home to someone that loves him bc as it turns out playing for the nhl isn’t as fun as he thought
And Kristy like the big sister she is bullies him into having a life outside of his job “because it is at the end of the day just a job, Wyatt.”
Wyatt’s hobbies include his local comics store, where he finds via a flyer about a regular game of D&D, and the community center Kristy dragged him to for one volunteer shift she did for class credit. Her work and hustle made her too busy to return (bc she refuses to let her baby brother pay for everything, nhl money or no) but Wyatt kept going back
Wyatt makes friends everywhere he goes except for on the team. The guys tolerate him okay, but if he talks to any of them too long he gets the ick (he’s not really into making friends with guys who talk about people like those he loves that way)
He only admits it to Kristy, and later to Lisa, that he thinks the head coach would have him traded long ago if it were his choice, but the gm has some weird “don’t want anyone else to have you” complex about him, which has him just. warmin the bench
Once at the community center, he catches one kid calling another “gay” as an insult and he has his own Hilary Duff PSA moment. (the kids are too young to grt the reference anyway). And then Wyatt gives them an impromptu lesson about chirping.
“The key to a good chirp is that it’s gotta be about something that a guy can change, right? Like, no one can change their sexuality, but they do have the psower to change their terrible mustache right? Or if their game is bad, you can chirp them about that, because your game is always something you can get better at.” “What if you know they can’t get better?” “Then you say nothing at all. And that’s even worse, because then they aren’t even worth the effort of chirping. You know who’s really good at all of this actually? Ilya Rozanov. No I’m serious, he never digs at guys over things they can’t change, and he’ll silent treatment anyone he doesn’t respect and it drives them crazy.”
Kristy comes home one day and faceplants on the couch going “I’m in love. And it’s TERRIBLE” bc the fling she had with a Vancouver filmmaker working on location in town is actually super serious oh noooooo
And then when Wyatt finally meets Eve (awkwardly. when he got home after midnight from a roadie and Eve was in the kitchen wearing Big Shirt No Pants.) he knows. This is it for Kristy.
Wyatt meets Lisa by chance when he takes one of his friends in to the ER for appendicitis (bc in his adventuring party he IS the guy you call when you need help moving or a ride to the hospital)
Lisa is a resident on her Emergency rotation and ofc Wyatt Notices her immediately but in a “wow she’s beautiful but she’s at her job and I am just some guy so I will not bother her” kind of way
But he’s Hazy and has little filter with his friends so he tells his buddy something like “wow. she’s beautiful.” and is immediately betrayed when the morphine hits.
Lisa is flattered and Wyatt is horrified but she accepts his apology and despite what his buddy says “you do not have to give me your number. in fact, please don’t.”
And that’s it. UNTIL.
Wyatt takes Kristy out to her favorite lesbian bar to drink her feelings over Eve, who’s on a plane to the west coast, and bumps into 🥁🥁🥁 Dr. Lisa
And then Wyatt is embarrassed all over again bc he double never had a shot with the gorgeous gay doctor and during his anxious babble Lisa catches that and blurts out that she’s not a lesbian, she’s just out with friends from work and they picked the bar.
And then they ignore their people and talk all night
At the end Lisa gives Wyatt her number with the caveat that she doesn’t have time to date or anything else. She’s not promising anything
They talk for weeks until their schedules align enough to go on a real date.
idk what the first date is rn but it ends with an AMAZING kiss and wyatt is pleading “when can I see you again” and lisa is like “I don’t know if I can” bc she’s already in too deep with this adorable younger hockey player who acts nothing like the jocks from her small town in bumfuck, ca, and he is nothing like she planned for
Hazy saying something like “I just want to spend time with you, and if the most you can do right now is a five minute coffee break, I’ll take it.”
“Five? I’m lucky if I get two.”
“I’ll gladly take it.”
And they get by on those little moments. Wyatt drops by the hospital during his gaps in schedule, bringing coffee and snacks and (most precious of all) chocolate covered espresso beans. He starts buying donuts for the nurses to bribe them. And his reputation starts to precede him when Lisa changes rotations
While he’s falling in love, Kristy is pining, and for the first time ever, Wyatt is the one to give his sister tough love, bc she’s not happy here anymore, so maybe she needs to go where she can be happy. Like Vancouver. And Wyatt has a whole life (and a girlfriend now), so Kristy should go live her own.
Okay but moving across the country is crazy. You get that’s crazy right? / So what? Swing big, Kris
And when Kristy finally meets Lisa (awkwardly, when Lisa stumbled out of Wyatt’s room at 10am in one of his shirts—bc she was sleeping in while he had morning practice) she knows that this is It for her baby brother.
Lisa is Wyatt’s date to Kristy and Eve’s wedding. Wyatt officiates, because he got one of those online certificates
Kristy returns the favor and officiates Lisa and Wyatt’s wedding a couple years later
For a minute, Wyatt was dreading doing the wedding thing because he didn’t have any family besides Kristy and Eve to invite, but he actually has a whole community that he and his sister built together
In a similar vein, Lisa decides to take Hayes as her name to start their own chapter of the Hayes family
When Eve announces that she’s pregnant, Wyatt sobs, he’s so happy and proud of his sister and her family, like, she is the bravest strongest person he knows and her dreams are coming true
And Wyatt married his dream girl, and maybe his dream job wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, but that’s life. His wife has her dream job and it pisses her off sometimes too.
When he gets to Ottawa, it makes him sad to learn just how much team culture is a choice, and that he could have been happy on a team like this the whole time? damn
he and zane boodram are team dads. ilya is captain ofc, but he’s also the goofy slavic uncle whose advice is more like a riddle at a crossroads
hazy’s top piece of advice to any rook who asks is: get people in your life who don’t give a shit about hockey. I am so serious. your life cannot only be this. give yourself one or two people to remind you of that. marry one, if you can
Cut to shane hearing this after he joins the team and being deeply confused and disturbed (Shane Hollander is of course the exception that proves the rule)
Wyatt is actually one of Shane’s first friends on the Cens bc by virtue of being a camp coach Shane knows him already, and knows that he’s a safe person. And at some point between the outing and the first game together Wyatt just gives Shane a look and asks, “you’ll be good to him, right?” and nothing wins Shane Hollander over faster than knowing that they’re looking out for Ilya
I don’t see Wyatt and Lisa having kids but I do see Wyatt being a devoted cat dad. He makes posts like that guy on the Indiana Pacers whose brand is Nerdy Cat Dad.
made one post vaguely about disliking willmack (literally was just pointing out a post i saw about racism that someone reblogged & tagged with willmack) and got four asks flaming me for it and a mini callout post but i scroll through the laila edwards tag and every third post has to relate back to them and how she's going to take care of them in sj 🥺 and talking about how she has to be their "girl bestie" or her being gay is going to make them have awakenings like there is no explanation you DO NOT VALUE WOMEN AS SERIOUS ATHLETES. ESPECIALLY WOC.

Idk if you are still taking requests/ideas, but I just posted an *Ilya gets rimmed* fic and I haven't seen any art of this particular scenario yet. So... if you feel inspired. 💕🙏
A bit more than that but I’ve got that planned too.
