Farscape Now

I just started the show and boy do I have a lot of things to say and posts to make. Made this sideblog so I would stop spamming my main one with it all.

[farscape-now]

Saw these going around and decided to do one for Farscape!

Yes I love Aeryn/John/D’argo.

[farscape-now]

Here’s a blank version so everyone else can make some too!

[farscape-now]

I made another farscape edit! It was for a MEP with the theme of Polyships. (Can yall guessed who I used? XD)

“can you believe it? we’re here, we’re alive and nobody is trying to kill us!”

I have to respect Farscape's costume department for always putting Ben Browder in the most ass-hugging pants possible. It's truly impressive.

I know not everyone can read screencaps, but the screencap above is GOLD. So I’m going to transcribe it. It’s below:

For the record, if you have never watched Farscape: it is a show about an American astronaut who gets stranded in space with a bunch of aliens. This description is technically accurate but tells you nothing about the experience of actually watching the show.

If it helps any, please consider that the main characters are, in no particular order:

A jock who’s very good at math and surprisingly good at feelings.

An ex-space cop who combines the fighting-for-her-life aptitude of Ellen Ripley with the understanding-her-own-emotions aptitude of Seven of Nine.

Space Javert.

A big weird puppet friend with, like, 12 arms. You will want to hug him.

Fun Worf.

“Wow, I wonder how she got so calm and centred, she seems very wise.” “Oh yeah, I used to be an EXTREMELY violent anarchist and I’m hanging on to my chill with my fingernails at all times.”

Like, what if Yoda had 0 wisdom to impart and was just a horrible little bastard man who only wanted to do crimes?

Alien girl on Space Rumspringa, except she’s never going back home because on her planet feelings are illegal.

Aha, the original post is this one by @nonasuch!

[image description: a photo of the main characters of Farscape on an earth-like planet in front of a blue sky with white clouds. Below that, a screenshot of a tumblr post with the username missing reads:

I reblogged that one once I learned. I love that it came out of Tumblr.

[cipheramnesia]

The jock who is good at math is also terrible at fights. He's the lost US Astronaut and also despite knowing next to nothing about massively advanced alien tech beyond his ken is also, notably, the only one good at math.

Also everyone is so very horny. So, so horny.

Don't forget Space Rumspringa also tries to steal anything not bolted down and some things that are. And while she definitely ties to fuck her way out of trouble it feels like it would be less violent if she just killed a guy.

All trauma all the time for everyone also, you all have so much PTSD they introduced a character to the crew who was the physical manifestation of the trauma of death for the entire universe.

Dick joke, dick joke, dick joke, hey did we mention how we were all horrifically ripped from our homes and loved ones and then thrown into a place of unending torment with no hope for escape hahaha, dick joke, dick joke

If You Meet A God You Should Immediately Start Shouting At Them

Also don't forget Unfrozen Caveman Space Archeologist from ancient advanced civilization who hates violence and wants you all to know you are all so stupid, and Space Witch who is basically a drug dealer or maybe biological warfare engineer, I'm not sure.

[brightlotusmoon]

That show was many people's pansexual and monsterfucker awakening. Nerds kick ass. Geeks are full of anarchist wisdom. The Jim Henson Company answering "what can you do with this" with "hell yes"

It's a good show.

Also there's comics.

[cipheramnesia]

Everyone at each other all the time: "You would not last ten seconds on my planet," except at the human where at one point they directly ask him how such a pathetic species is still alive.

[betthearm]

You know all those “Humans are Space Australians” jokes?

They made it a show.

[brightlotusmoon]

[failure-to-adult]

Every Farscape episode can be boiled down to:

1) A failed Get Rich Quick scheme, often involving either sex or drugs

2) Space shenanigans make everyone high. I CANNOT overstate how often this comes up. Sometimes it's actual drugs, sometimes it's silly lights, alien parasites, or a random visiting alien whose species Is Just Like That.

3) Holy shit, the cops found us, everybody run!

4) The crew gets conned by yet another alien grifter because THEY are all convinced that THEY are the best grifters out there.

5) Monster of the week but its sole purpose is to create character growth or reveal some hidden reason why one of the characters isn't a completely irredeemable shithead.

The crew of Moya have exactly three collective brain cells in any given episode, and generally Pilot has at least one of them. Unsurprisingly, nobody ever listens to Pilot.

There is an entire episode where a character sustains head trauma and hallucinates himself into Looney Toons. It involves the line "Lock up your daughters and hide the fried chicken!"

None of the characters have any sense of personal space.

It is a frelling PHENOMENAL show and everyone should watch it.

"LEROYYYYYY JENKINS!!!"

[nonasuch]

huh! did not realize that post had escaped containment.

anyway go watch Farscape! It’s audaciously weird and heartbreaking and clever and never met a status quo it couldn’t blow to smithereens. Also there are Muppets.

[flibbertiggibit]

I remember catching a few episodes on TV when it was airing, but now I really want to watch the series properly.

[brightlotusmoon]

It's on Tubi!

get to know me meme | [2/5] favorite male characters - John Crichton (Farscape)

Ah, screw it. But I am not Kirk, Spock, Luke, Buck, Flash or Arthur frellin’ Dent. I’m Dorothy Gale from Kansas.

Probably the only male character who managed to avoid the dreaded Man Pain. He was in pain a lot of his televised existence, but you saw WHY. His pain didn’t drive his journey; it destroyed it. His curiosity and wonder and desperation drove his journey. He wanted to go HOME, more than anything else. But he managed to build himself a new one. He was damn near destroyed by his drive to “get home”, but in a stunning turn, the narrative showed him that he’d outgrown what he remembered. All those choices and damage and connections he forged grew him up. And in the end, HE CHOSE to leave Earth and everything it represented behind. John Crichton isn’t defined by his pain, nor is he motivated by it. He’s defined by his choices, and that is what makes him so much… more.

[bethanyactually]

#john crichton #i also think he is made so much more by his approach to masculinity #i know i am harping on this a bit #but it’s so refreshing #remember when we were all overwhelmed with raleigh from pacific rim? #john is four seasons of that plus wormholes #like. he actually makes masculinity look attractive #because it’s not threatening or dangerous #(he can be threatening or dangerous but not by virtue of his masculinity) #rather his masculinity is nurturing and protecting and caring #and that’s usually coded as femininity but this show illustrated that could be masculinity too #he is a breath of fresh air and i already miss him (via @ladytharen)

Celebrating the Frelling Queerness of FARSCAPE - Nerdist

Farscape, one of science fiction’s weirdest, strangest, and campiest television shows, was one of the queerest and kinkiest series of its time.

[dickwheelie]

[leolaroot]

[farscape-now]
