THE RINGS OF POWER 1.08 "Alloyed" || 2.08 "Shadow and Flame"

CHARLIE VICKERS and MORFYDD CLARK behind the scenes of The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 8 "Shadow and Flame"

Still can't believe this really happened

[demilypyro]

Star Trek is so funny. All of starfleet is so aggressively Neutral Good. Every time they're up against something they Always do the noble thing. Every one of these motherfuckers is so ready to jump on the grenade. It's so cute I love them

[demilypyro]

Starfleet officers come out of the academy with 2 things: a passion for science bordering on sexual and an incomprehensible desire for self-sacrifice

[demilypyro]

I love how this is like, acknowledged in lore, too. Like, the reason Starfleet is so full of these bozos is because it's a big non-profit where you get to Do Science and Be Noble. So only people who want to Do Science and Be Noble join up. The organization has a reputation for producing the most moralistic greater-good-loving yuppies in the galaxy. It's a straight-up hero factory. You love to see it

[demilypyro]

I bet vulcan ships gossip about how starfleet officers can't go a day without volunteering for a life-threatening mission before they start climbing the walls looking for enrichment

[asoniccatapult]

sending them on dangerous missions is actually a safety measure, otherwise they start tinkering with the warp drive, and you end up as salamanders

[hmantegazzi]

Or start tampering with subspace rifts and end becoming a galaxy-shattering vocal ensemble

[ralfmaximus]

It's a post scarcity society! At least, for the core Federation planets.

So what happens when your healthy, happy citizens (numbered in the trillions) runs out of things to do? You can only learn so many obscure skills, study so much art & philosophy, consume so much media before boredom sets in.

Time to explore!

Send those obnoxious grown-ass "I'm bored, mom" kiddos off to Starfleet to see the galaxy!

And the really super-intense ones end up on starships.

"So how'd you get your culture so noble and driven toward general improvement of society?"

"For generations, since the advent of warp travel, we've let our libertarians dirt farm on whatever otherwise worthless rock they find on the frontier."

ICYMI, there was fear that companies were scraping public AO3 fics to train their AI without the consent of AO3 or its users. That fear has been confirmed.

AO3 has written about what they’re doing (and what they’re not able to do), and they recommend restricting your work to AO3 registered users only. [Instructions here]

This gross misuse of the archive by techbros is why I’ve locked down my fics for the foreseeable future. I recommend the rest of you do the same.
