love how in classic star trek the actors really go for it when the ship gets hit, throwing themselves around the bridge.

for as much shit as the art style gets, i still maintain that the animorphs graphic novels have my absolute favorite human tobias design.

this is the wettest, most pathetic tobias i've ever seen. his clothes are visibly more wrinkled than everyone else's, he's always walking around with a pair of ratty headphones, and he's desperately trying to pull off a hair style that just isn't working. one look at this guy and you can instantly believe jake met him with his head shoved in a toilet. hell, i almost want to shove his head in a toilet. a+ work, no notes.

this is great i post here once a year in march

[thegreatrandomologist]

so when the Nazis kick every non German out of Germany its bad but when Israelis do like 3 years later its good? I'm a bit confused.

[thegreatrandomologist]

while I love both franchises, i do think that the maid difference between star wars and star trek is if you see a guy in a uniform touching a bunch of blinking lights in star wars its probably a Empire officer, but if its star trek and you see a guy in a uniform touching a bunch of blinking lights its probably a federation officer.

star war say if a kid hates sand too much its a problem for all of us but dune say if a kid LIKES sand too much it will also be a problem for us. the lesson of these two great sci fi works is that we should strive to be neutral to sand!

[scaredysap]

When my cousin Olivia was three, she started preschool and became best friends with a boy named Abraham.  Most people called him Abe, even then, because Abraham is a mouthful for a three year old and, to most people, it’s the logical nickname.

Not, however, according to Olivia, who decided to nickname him Ham.

No one’s really sure whether she wasn’t totally listening when he was introduced and only caught the last part of his name, or if she decided Abe was too boring a nickname, or maybe she was just hungry, but the nickname has stuck for the last twenty years.  Of course, Olivia was and still is the only person to use it.

When they were seven or eight, he decided to get back at her by calling her Olive.  That nickname stuck, too, and they’ve been Olive and Ham since.  But only to each other.  They get highly offended if anyone else calls them that.

Last night was their seventh anniversary, and Abe proposed to Olivia, and she said yes.  And how did she announce it on Facebook, you may ask?

People used to tell me “If you like ham so much, why don’t you just marry it?”  So I am.

[probably-voldemort]

Shout out to Olive and Ham, who are still engaged and adorable and who are planning on getting married sometime next summer

I should be asleep

but can we just appreciate that the Animorphs finale shows how incredibly important 'soft power' is, politically?

if you're not familiar: soft power is making yourself appealing and interesting. it's what south Korea does! it puts a lot of money and effort, as a state, into k-pop and Korean food, and a whole lot more. as a result: if your country wanted to start shit with south Korea, you'd probably get really upset - you've got great feelings about south Korea! blackpink is amazing! you love Korean barbeque! you'd be protesting you'd be calling your representatives, you'd be fucking mad

this is on purpose.

hard power is militaristic. you don't want to fight a country with hard power, because they have nukes, or an itchy trigger finger, etc.

(i'm super simplifying this, i'm no expert)

Jake involves the civilians of the andalite home world. marco makes sure the military knows. they're hoping for some soft power - and it works. the military can't act first and tell the civilian population a propaganda version of what they did later. the civilians are watching.

this is soft power! this is diplomacy! and later in the postwar section- the andalite civilians coming over for tourism shit? that's more soft power! that's more normal andalites that think of earth as that charming planet with delicious food and isn't it funny how we balance on two legs? oh those juveniles were so brave!

this is an alternative to war, and i love it. i love how this was written, i love the context of soft vs hard power.
