#Flying Postman (trope)

[inspectorspacetimerevisited]

Showing that no trope can’t be modified to fit into sci-fi,

‘Kaboom!’ had a delivery robot that could fly through space and time.

A new series

Each episode takes famous movie tropes and finally makes it queer

1. A private detective and his assistant solve crimes together and they also live together as a couple and vlog about it.

2. A superhero gets a sidekick who he had a crush on for a long time and they want to adopt a child after they defeat the villian together.

3. A spy has to flirt with a person of the same sex in order to get information. They end up in bed together.

4. The king wants to marry off his daughter to whoever can kill the dragon. All the knights fail, but the cooks daughter kills the dragon with a pan.

5. A guardian angels falls in love with the person they have been assigned to. Angels don't have a gender and the other person is bisexual anyways. But how to you tell your religious parents that you are sleeping with an angel of the lord ?

6. A girl grows up in a strong community of women and when she is older, she wants to save the world. Her girlfriend is with her to help her and to support her.

7. A vampire starts to panic when he finds out that his lifemate is his postman. He is 4301 years old and doesn't know how people flirt nowadays ?

8. Starting a new school is always daunting. Especially if it is a school for wizardy. The first problem starts when the 1st years have to buy their uniform. They were supposed to buy trousers but they had always wanted to wear a skirt. Thank merlin, the teachers of the school can help them transition their body with the help of magic.

9. Flying a spaceship isn't easy. Especially if you have to deal with a lot of love drama in your crew. Thank god you don't care about sex but everyone comes to you for your advise. You are trying to help everyone but for gods sake, you have to navigate the spaceship through that ring of rocks first.

10. She can't decide who she should bring to homecoming. Her childhood friend who she has been dating for quite some time or the mysterious boy with cheekbones like a god. To her surprise, they wouldn't mind going together and all three of them had a great night and many more to follow

Isn't it odd how we always find the past a more interesting and less civilized time? I was thinking about this and how the current trope of Victorian ladies with their hair down comes from the Victorian era itself, when that was how artists depicted medieval ladies (though it's not really accurate) Because of course you'd write about the Middle Ages or Georgian times or even the Regency. The mid-late 19th century was the boring modern era with things like trains and ether and clothing that was more practical and less romantic. But imagine back before, when you had to fly to your lover on horseback or trust a messenger rather than a postman to carry a letter. Imagine wearing rich robes and furs, when royals actually ran a country and nothing so banal as divorce or a census ever happened This really hit me as I read Dracula, because of the number of mundane details Stoker throws out to contrast with the growing supernatural threat. What we consider period tidbits- telegrams! shorthand! memorizing train tables! phonographs! -were all meant to seem everyday to his initial audience. Because of course, nothing ~happens~ in the 1890s. It's modern, after all Hell, I'm as guilty of it as anyone; my blog might as well be subtitled Let's Talk About Those Wacky Victorians With Marzipan. It's just interesting to think about, that what we now consider old and weird and exciting used to be...dull And someday someone will think that about 2017
