Scully you’re not gonna believe this… I love The Characters

I am obsessed I fear, and I needed to figure out their shapes/ get drawing them out of my system. So lasso tool over screenshots it is!

#bonus suggestive posing on the left center 👀#I’m really happy with how this looks! kind of half finished kind of scrapbook-y #I really went over a few of their faces but generally it’s all Select Tool on Procreate and Vibes #zoom in for the Details… or lack thereof?#X files #dana scully #fox mulder #msr #mulder and scully my beloveds

Heartbreaking: the worst type of person you know made an excellent point

"warm, shallow seas" is one of the most beautiful phrases in paleontology and it's everywhere... these mollusks lived in warm, shallow seas... scientists think that photosynthetic life evolved in warm, shallow seas... in that era the Earth was covered by warm, shallow seas...

I wish I was resting by an antediluvian warm, shallow sea

a pit of dread forms in your stomach as you parse my "evil baby on board" decal and realize you have a moral duty to rear end my vehicle as hard as you can

been reading cicero's rant about words being given obscene meanings and i don't think i've ever seen a latin sentence that made me burst into such immediate and violent laughter before

thoodleoo

had a couple people be like "i have no idea what this means" so to clarify: the word penis in latin originally meant tail and only later got the sense of, uh. penis. so this is cicero complaining that nowadays all these hooligans are using the word "penis" for naughty purposes

lil fits comp from the past few months...

Pottery sounds terrifying to me. Every post I see is like "Here's this awesome art I made!! Pray for me that it survives The Kiln™ :')" I don't think I could cope with making art that could quite easily blow up and I have no way of controlling that. You guys are true heroes.

star wars is so fucking stupid, I love it

star wars fuckery to english glossary: the reader’s digest version

the star wars universe has no official name but in fandom you’ll see it shortened to GFFA for “galaxy far, far away”

glass - transparisteel

metal used in construction - durasteel

very strong space-plastic (used in stormtrooper armor) - duraplast

tablet computer (analogous to a PADD in trek) - datapad

rather than paper, handwriting is usually done with a stylus on flimsiplast (flimsi/flimsy for short)

holos are 3-d videos or videomessages, recorded and played on a holoprojector (these are often seen in small formats, palm-sized - analogous to like. a GoPro.)

we don’t drive cars, we drive landspeeders or speeder bikes

we don’t shoot guns, we shoot blasters

if you didn’t bring a knife to a gun fight, you perhaps brought a vibroblade instead - an edged weapon that, you guessed it, vibrates. little ones could be called vibroshivs or vibroknives. we actually got to see polearm versions of these in The Mandalorian! it was very exciting.

robots in GFFA are, of course, droids. astromech droids (astromechs) are the like. iphones of the droid world - ubiquitous, multipurpose, most with a similar aesthetic. R2-D2 and BB-8 are both astromech droids. human-shaped droids like C-3P0 are protocol droids.

got a papercut? a nasty flesh wound? a missing chunk of your torso, perhaps? slap a bacta-patch on it or take a dip in a bacta tank for a soothing treatment with this all-purpose miracle healing goo. this is what diapered Luke is bobbing around in during the early part of Empire Strikes Back.

you’re supposed to say kriff/kriffing instead of “damn,” “shit,” or “fuck/fucking,” but this is for cowards. let Obi-Wan cuss.

midichlorians - ignore them.

before the Empire comes to power, baby jedi who can’t hack it as knights or are never chosen to be Padawan apprentices become members of the Service Corps, the branches of which are the Agricultural Corps (AgriCorps), Medical Corps (MedCorps), Educational Corps (EduCorps), Exploration Corps (ExplorCorps)

dates are expressed (typically) as [date] Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) or [date] After the Battle of Yavin (ABY). for instance, the sequel trilogy begins in 34 ABY.

and, yes: that famous cantina tune from Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes is in a musical style called jizz. because star wars is incredibly stupid.

popcorn is called bang-corn, because obviously the earth-centric aspect of popcorn is the popping, not the corn.

No, back the fuck up, the Cantina music is called what now

osheamobile

Jizz music. Being performed by jizz wailers. It’s very simple.

• Aurebesh is the alphabet used to represent spoken Galactic Basic

• Basic = English

• Days of the week goes like: · Primeday · Centaxday · Taungsday · Zhellday · Benduday.

• watches and clocks = chronometer or chrono

• Time measurement (all based off of the Coruscant solar cycle)

- 60 standard minutes = 1 standard hour

- 24 standard hours = 1 standard day

- 5 standard days = 1 standard week

- 7 standard weeks = 1 standard month

- 10 standard months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holidays = 368 standard days = 1 standard year

• Showers! = (most common) fresher, the fresher, refresher, (uncommon, used in desert planets) sonic shower, or just ‘sonic’

• pianos exist!

• what’s the most vile language you can cuss in?? why, in Huttese of course (which is the second most prevalent language in the galaxy after Basic. It’s the lingua franca for the Outer Rim Territories which is basically space wild west), try saying Fierfek five times (it means curse you)

• if you’re a droid or mechanic another cuss word would be “switch-off”

• if ur Mandalorian, ass/asses would be shebs, ‘dank farrik’ which is common for mercs to say = damn, fuck

• people working for the empire = colloquially called ‘imps’

• the mafia = pykes and the hutts

• ‘GFFA’? =The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, also known as the Federal Galactic Republic (also Galaxy Far Far Away lol)

I believe it’s now canon that SW characters can say “shit” at least. (Cassian has said it at least once.)

thesunnahthebetter

they should normalize saying "I'm thinking of you fondly but don't have much to say and frankly I don't even really want to talk rn but you have appeared in my thoughts and it's nice"

I had this freshman tell me she “couldn’t” audition because she was too scared of the stage, and might have a panic attack. I asked how she felt about walking around onstage in costume and not saying any lines. That was fine. I was like okay awesome let’s lay some groundwork now and maybe senior year you can have like three lines!

I remember this kid who came into an audition and froze up, just couldn’t speak. Competent reader and speaker but when people were watching she couldn’t do a thing.

We cast her anyway, in a chorus role. Offered her lots of support and encouragement and kindness and grace.

At the next audition she whispered. Anyone who had never seen her before would have thought she was the most nervous kid there. But the directing team was abuzz afterward. Did you see? She did it! Once or twice I could actually almost hear her! Amazing.

Got cast again, in a chorus role. She’d been making friends with the other kids, and they offered her encouragement too.

And the next audition we said wow I can hear her! She’s speaking! Let’s give her a handful of lines! She can do it!

Anyway as a mentor in the performing arts these things are huge wins for me. Some kids are competent and confident performers at 7 or 8 almost by nature. Others, even much older kids and adults, have to make progress by inches. But progress is exciting! The only place to go is up!

If a student is encouraged properly, theatre is one of the best sources of self-esteem, self-reflection, and both spontaneous and rehearsed eloquence/comprehensibility that there is. It truly could be considered a cornerstone for communication disciplines of all kinds if it just attracted the right people to teach it. (Unfortunately a lot of people are attracted to directing for a sense of power over others, and not an interest in mentoring and coaching.)
