*Star Trek Thoughts Pt.2*

This one’s about Vulcans. Little headcannon I thought up (probably mentioned somewhere, but I’m writing this on 2hrs of sleep) to help differentiate them from Romulans. Both being the same species that split off from one another over logic…

And you know what? I’m still thinking of fangs.

Romulans should have fangs and Vulcans, as part of their coming of age? Should file them down when they reach puberty. Following logic makes them vegetarians, after all. They don’t need a mouthful of razors, but they should by no means be totally flat. Not herbivore looking veneers. No. They’re still a race with rituals surrounding combat, the Pon Farr, etc.

They should be flatter, but still longer than a Human.

Just picturing Commander Spock in the mess hall, maybe some new Ensigns are admiring him from afar. He’s got fans, of course. Spock’s someone to aspire to, much like his Captain, but then? As they’re watching? Spock picks up a forkful of greens, opens his mouth and they see 4 sharp canines and faintly pointed molars once decided for cutting through tendons. Ligaments. Breaking bones to suck out the marrow.

Now, willingly reduced to munching on dandelion greens and vegan croutons…

Spock, for the life of him, can’t imagine why all the little Ensigns are suddenly so afraid of him. Why they leap to do as he asks, but refuse to make eye contact and when obliged to? They go pale. (More than a few have fainted over the years)

(We love all Spock’s in this household, because at his core? In any form? He’s just a weird little scientist with a bowl cut who plays the harp and we love him for it)

*Star Trek Thoughts*

Hey, so I’ve been watching and rewatching a massive amount of Strange New Worlds and Next Generation, and I’ve seen posts about Vulcans (headcannons or otherwise). How they evolved from felines, have a naturally green tint, etc., but lately? I’ve been thinking about Betazoids. There’s hardly any content and they’re cool af!

Telepaths with widely varying levels of skill. Some can barely pick up emotion while others and alter other people’s memories/emotions? Others can kill and there’re even some so powerful they develop telekinetic abilities? And every single one of them only get more powerful with age…?

(Not to mention the women go through a midlife change where their sex-drive quadruples or more? What’re the ramifications around sex? Do they have an ace community and are they effected? Do they just become more obsessed with their special interests? I need so much context)

But my main thought? Is about their eyes. Big, pitch black irises, like a deer. The first Humans to meet them must’ve been so freaked out. That uncanny valley feeling being set off whenever they’re around, because no matter what they do? In the human mind? Eyes just aren’t supposed to look like that.

And what if it was just a little bit worse? You start getting over the whole eyes thing, cause you made a friend at Starfleet Academy (maybe you had a group project and you kicked ass together) but you were too nervous to make nice until you get your grade back? They smile? And they just have the most vampire-like teeth you’ve ever seen. Not like Nosferatu needle teeth, but practical canines for biting through flesh and suddenly? The uncanny valley feeling comes right back and their smile drops, because they can read your mind. Feel your fear, even without having to push their way into your head.

That would he truly unsettling…

As someone with a shelter dog that does exactly this, out of the blue? Whenever? Highly likely lol

[nose235678]

Poor kid (4mth old wire haired pointer) had absolutely no concept of time whenever she napped on her big brother (a 90lbs akita, aka living furnace) and she is now, as of a few days ago, 2yrs old

I love the genre of picture “animal that clearly just woke up from a fat nap”

[nose235678]

Why am I crying laughing in a Wegman’s?

me, eating a pile of nuts, cheese, and apple: mmmm tasty

the medieval peasant in my head watching me eat: thou knowst what would MAKETH this meal? dried fruits.

me, getting out the raisins: god damn, etheldred, you are SO right

the medieval peasant in my head: yet thou art still not heeding mine words regarding the blasphemy

post-veilguard life rookanis idk how to caption this

[nose235678]

Hey, this’s a little random, but I’m rewatching LOKI and had a thought. What could Mobius have possibly done to become a Variant? Single dad of two boys who sold rec vehicles?

But then, I started thinking about his character. How patient, but firm he is. His good advice and who his wife might’ve been, right? He lived in the suburbs with his boys and based on his age (we’ll say roughly 40 something?)

And who else is around that age, living alone with a boy in need of a paternal figure?

What if his wife was May Parker? What if Mobius is a variant of Uncle Ben, if he and May had been able to have kids of their own and left New York to raise their boys in the burbs before Peter Parker was orphaned? Too far to be able to take him or maybe May died shortly before and he didn’t think he could handle a 3rd kid…?

That’s certainly something that would’ve broken the “canon,” especially if moving away inadvertently caused May to die somehow (ex: car accident or something), right? Great advice, positive teaching style, quick to bond with tricky/witty vigilante types?

This’s probably been done a hundred times already on this site, but it’s just a thought I had.

Just picturing something like:

Ben getting the call that his brother and sister-in-law are dead. He’s had to make the hardest decision of his life, but for the good of his boys and Peter, he thinks he made the right one. He’s not a rich man. The house already has two mortgages, the dealership is barely getting by as it is. Looks down at his wedding ring on a chain around his neck, thinking there was no possible way he could do it on his own and then? He sets the phone back on the hook and there’s TVA agents in his living room. Placing a reset charge on his coffee table and demanding he come with them for judgement.

For costing his universe the creation of an anchor being, like Spider-Man.

Also, could you imagine Loki trying to help Mobius save a version of his universe by raising Peter Parker together in a universe where both Ben and May died (like how Miguel tried to replace Gaby’s dad, except actually helpful?) Showing up to PTA meetings, just Ben Parker and his new very tall, elegantly goth, vaguely European husband?

Loki becomes PTA President, of course. Makes his own presidential sash. Mobius gets way too hyped about bake sales/food drives/blood drives/toys for tots. Loki judging the science fair. Showing up to debate club contests to cheer way too loud. Both of them having to act surprised when Peter starts sneaking in late until it finally comes out and they have to be like “Ooooh, nooo! We’re floored! Totally stunned! Hoooowww could we have missed this?!”

Then, Loki helps him make a real suit, because “no child of his is going be a vigilante AND a fashion disaster.”

Loki eventually coming out as a Frost Giant to make Peter feel less like a freak in some teary-eyed heart to heart about how difficult it is to let “normal” people close to them.

Just saving the world by being embarrassing, loving father figures together in the sort of open, honest family that Loki’s always wanted (cue his angst about immortality).

romancing lucanis - a story told in memes

[nose235678]

Solas, you absolute trash man. You goof. You dweeb.

See this? The lute in his hideout under the Lady of Glory statue? See what’s at the top there…?

This homeless loser bought a lute with his own fucking face on it. He wanted to get caught so fucking badly he walked into a store and either picked this shit out or worse, had it custom made. This’s the medieval equivalent of Vanilla Ice getting his own face tattooed on his back. I hate him.

(He’s one of my favorite fictional characters ever)

[nose235678]

My new Inquisitor! Mir’renan Lavellan!

Warrior, best friends with Cassandra, basically adopted Dorian after telling his dad to eat shit 💚

[nose235678]

One of the many reasons, I will argue that this is his best armor set and should’ve been his heroic one. Totally unique to him and so Spite themed/ Spite positive. It’s just encompasses their entire relationship and looks so good with the wings out.

Lucanis' corset lives rent free in my brain

[nose235678]

Finished my first play through with my Crow!Rook!

I’m devastated! My Lavellan’s happy ending broke my heart and the Lucanis romance is wonderful!

But am I gonna take a break? No, not for a second!

Warden Var’fen “Rook” Thorne reporting for duty!

Her parents left her clan during the Fifth Blight, after they fought with the other Dalish in Denerim and King Alistair refused to honor his promise of land to the Elves. Offering their skills to the Grey Wardens as trackers in the Anderfels where she’d discover her magic and live as an apostate. Training to be a healer with Warden Mages until they invited her to join them on a trip to the newly emerged Kal-Sharok and stumbled into a nest of Darkspawn.

Barely managing to clear them out, but not before Var’fen was blighted and subsequently took the Joining at the age of 23. Suffering a rare side effect of the ritual that turned the sclera of her eyes black. Meeting Varric shortly thereafter and at 24, using a fake last name since joining the Wardens, they would make their move against the Dread Wolf.

Doing whatever it took to stop his ritual…

Her likes include:

*Cioccolata calda ☕️ (never had chocolate until Varric bought her a cup and was addicted ever since)

*Dogs 🐶 (left mabari, Josa behind with her family when she left to hunt Solas)

*Rocks 🪨 💎 (picks up a pebble or crystal wherever she goes. Most are just cool looking lumps of granite)

*Giving gifts to friends 🎁 (gifts may or may not be pebbles that “remind her of them” and no, she will never explain what she means)

*Harts 🦌(her parents raise them for mounts to herd halla. Brought them along from Ferelden to the Anderfels when they moved)

*Smoking Elfroot 🍃(helps with period pain; bad before, but the Joining made it worse)

Her dislikes include:

*The Chantry ⛪️(only got her vallaslin to keep Templars from dragging her off to a Circle)

*Dracolisks 🦎(saw one lick its own eye like a gecko once and never recovered. Scarred for life)

*Cooked vegetables 🥦 (if it’s slimy? She will die before eating it, but likes salads, carrots and has been yelled at more than once for shuffling around the pantry/kitchen, eating a whole bell pepper/cucumber/tomato, like a rabbit)

*Taxes 💵(self-explanatory)

Who she’ll romance:

This dapper gentleman, whom she met once before while recruiting conscripts in Nevarra City. Bumping into him on her way out of the city dungeon while he was leaving the morgue after corpse-whispering to help solve a murder. Never exchanged a word, but she remembered his polite apology (the first she’d ever received from a Shem) for nearly knocking her over and he remembered her eyes.

“Feather Brigade,”

Davrin, you big fucking nerd (affectionate)

[nose235678]

Veilguard Spoiler (Cute!)

Just visited Holden and his daughter Mila in Hossberg and you know what banter I just got?

Holden asks his daughter if they’ve earned a treat that day, she of course agrees and the dad essentially says “Good, cause Rook’s Crow friend brought me some cioccolata calda.”

Lucanis went out of his way to purchase, package and hand deliver luxury coco (you know it’s not cheap, he’s Rockefeller level rich) to a child he met exactly one time in the middle of a battle to thank her for saving their lives. What a sweetheart. What an angel. Pookie bird. Love of Rook’s life.

I can’t not marry this caffeine-addicted bird man.

[nose235678]

Veilguard Spoilers (Harding)

So, I’ve decided I’m always gonna take Lucanis on Harding’s personal quest, because she says this little line:

“We will thrive, in spite of you.”

Which reminds me of the Hebrew proverb:

“Living well is the best revenge.”

And to me? In my mind? As my Rook and Lucanis both embrace her as she’s having this revelation and in saying that? It feels like Spite was there, too. Giving her the little nudge she needed to power through the bulwark of her grief, as Lace Harding. Not just a Child of the Stone. To live her life as a wholly free Dwarf that no longer requires the presence of the Titans in order to be “enough.”

To become her own person and truly be.

Because it’s hinted/shown in the art book that the Dwarves already existed when the Titans were walking around, but solely served as the caretakers of their giant bodies. Sort of swarming out of them like ants to clean up the hive after a storm.

So, maybe the sundering of the Titans granted them freedom? Free will, even if it came without dreams or magic? Certainly something to think about.
