garak is absolutely not the tumblr sexyman of ds9 i think the tumblr sexyman of ds9 has got to be either quark or weyoun..

[star-trek-dumb-comics]

TUMBLR SEXYMAN QUARK i've been thinking about this for months. Like imagine if quark would have been an actual tumblr sexyman. We would have fanart of him as a twinky white boy that would be so wild

[animate-mush]

Terracotta Warriors fresh from the earth, before their colors deteriorate from the exposure. Photograph from a 1974 excavation

[specsthespectraldragon]

...they were painted?

[fishingforcrows]

@specsthespectraldragon yes!! I worked in an exhibit all about the Terracotta Warriors, that included some replicas which showed how they would have looked when they were first made!

Here’s a photo of other replicas and a handy diagram of what the pigments are made of!

The really tragic thing is that because the paint is over 2000 years old, the second they’re uncovered and exposed to the air it begins to degrade right in front of the archaeologists eyes 😭

[specsthespectraldragon]

I never knew this! I wish I'd known this earlier, that is so cool.

Admittedly I guess it is weird that I uncritically accepted that my man would've just been in a tomb with unpainted dudes. I would've wanted some paint on them.

Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes don’t go feral like in the book.  It’s almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.

there’s a timeskip

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

THERE’S A TIMESKIP

after losing control of the signal fire there’s a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyone’s hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and they’re still just kind of chilling!!!!

IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH

AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because

THERE’S AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING

AND A PILOT’S CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA

BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM

HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -

IT DIDN’T HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVEN’T READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK

#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick

yes. yes he did. i’m also gonna direct you to the real life ‘lord of the flies’ which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until they’d cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. here’s a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.

i read about this in rutger bregman’s human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you don’t want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.

Derry girls season 3 would fix me

Pitch: a muppet movie where the muppets play D&D, and it cuts between the muppets around the table and the fantasy being acted out, but instead of it just being the muppets dressed up in D&D fantasy costume, it's celebrity actors but the muppets do the voices, and the actors have to act how those muppets would. Imagine a barbarian played by Jason Mamoa voiced by Miss Piggy.

[tevanbuckley]

He’s right and he should say it.

[idishido]

I feel like it’s worth bringing up that in 2005, RTD introduced Captain Jack, a heroic, complex bisexual character in to his high profile revival of a beloved family show and had him kiss the male and female deuteragonists.

This was only 2 years after the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales banning the “promotion of homosexuality” in 2003.

He’s absoloutely right.

I was sleeping on the couch and my grandma walked in and said "your little man is on tv" and I was like ???? And I go see what she's talking about and it's Quark

[geekysteven]

I wish that Deep Space Nine had been consistent with Odo’s shape-shifting ability. He's not good at making a human face, why would he be able to morph into a photo-realistic rat, I want to see him turn into a seagull that looks like it's from a PS1 game

I hate how in the Cruella trailer she’s all “people try to hold me down… I am woman…. hear me roar……” as though people are opposing her for misogynistic reasons and not because her primary motivation is SKINNING PUPPIES?
