#and get into space shenanigans

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

Doodle dump because I have too many thoughts about them </3

Stupid shenanigans during their college era referencing this. Harold used to have a stupid moustache and goatee in that “I just started growing facial hair and idk what to do with it” kind of style.

Giving Melvin friends but also making him the shortest and the angriest out of the gang. He is friends with George and Harold and he hates it so much, he is entrenched in denial about it. His only two besties are each fathers of two and very much married, OF COURSE he's going to be mom/dad-friended to death.

They are judging you.

Prompt 235

“Mother, I have made a friend.” 

Now don’t get him wrong, Danny was delighted at the idea of Jordan making a friend, he really was. But the last three attempts had been borderline kidnappings, so he wasn’t entirely sure if he should be. Thankfully it doesn’t seem he’s kidnapped this one. Hopefully. 

Not that he wouldn’t be surprised if Dan managed to kidnap a tiny kryptonian, but the kid- Jon apparently- seemed happy enough to be there. Apparently his grandparents lived in the midwest too, and was happy enough to have someone to talk about it. 

Though um, maybe Danny should have checked to see if his parents knew where he’d gone, because he was not expecting a harried-looking superman to suddenly appear at his window.

I feel like it's not addressed enough that Obi-Wan was so not ready for Anakin at the end of TPM. He wasn't quite ready to be a Knight, let alone take a Padawan, let alone Anakin.

Like, imagine you're 25 years old, already dealing with plenty of issues from your shitshow of a teen-to-young-adult experience when your Master - your father, your friend, your teacher, your guardian of 12 years, who you didn't always have the best relationship with but goddamn it you tried so hard and overcame so much to get to where you are - is literally murdered in front of you by a fucking demon, the ancient bogeymen of all your childhood stories who are suddenly very real and killing the people you love. Everyone looks at you now with so much awe and fear because, in a haze of grief and panic, you managed to become the first to kill a demon in a millennium - which is somehow that's enough of a qualification to immediately graduate your apprenticeship with full honours even though you never actually got the chance to finish it. Five minutes of pure terror turned your life upside down, and now you have to shoulder the burdens of a knighthood that you know you're not ready for, and find some way to live with the crushing expectations that come with your newfound, accidental and very unwanted semi-legendary status. And, if that wasn't enough already, within 24 hours of all this going down, you're also legally responsibly for raising a hyperactive 9 year old ex-slave Child of Prophesy with crippling CPTSD and more power than god. You somehow, somehow have to raise this boy to be both a good Knight - which you haven't had a chance to figure out how to be yourself yet - and a functional person - which was never and easy thing for you to be but is getting harder by the day. You desperately want to do right by your new Padawan and honour your Master's dying wish but you're not ready for any of this, you didn't ask for it, and you're trying so hard to not repeat Qui-Gon's mistakes whilst also being painfully aware that you can never live up to what he could have been. Then there's homework and missions and nightmares and you worry that Anakin isn't making friends and you haven't slept more than 3 hours a night in weeks and the President of the Galaxy is pressuring you for some Private Alone Time with your child -

How the fuck is anyone supposed to handle that?

Finally time for more Tracy Island comics!!! ✨🏝️✨

In which Gordon gets a little too intense on a longhaul flight with Alan; and Virgil is so good at remembering to reload Pod 4 but sometimes the simplest things just slip your mind!

John has a few emergency solutions but Gordon CANNOT miss his TV show and will kill him if Troy Tempest swoops in with the Stingray sub, all dashing and heroic to "rescue" his old co-pilot. So John will have to grit his teeth and agree to another of Lady Penelope's fancy social gatherings... 🪦

Prompt:

Dick is thrown back in time to a couple days before his past self is scheduled to leave on the mission to space, the one during which Jason will die.

Past Dick gets a very frantic and concerning phone call from someone claiming to be his future self, begging him not to go on the mission. And for some reason he‘s supposed to keep an eye on Jason? What the hell is that about? They’re not that close…

It's so sad that the ST writers decided to leave Alexander living off with Worf's parents when Worf came to DS9 because we were not only robbed of watching Alexander be friends with Jake and Nog but, and hear me out, the absolute comedy of mistakes that could have been Alexander becoming friends with Gul Dukat’s daughter

When their relationship was all still new, it was somewhat awkward for a while whilst the Ancients all learned each other's sleeping habits.

They were all used to sleeping on their own, relatively speaking. A lot of them had experience with going out on adventures and camping under the stars by themselves, though with a whole group, it was an entirely new learning experience.

They all had to learn new quirks about their friends that weren't apparent in broad daylight.

Hollyberry and Golden Cheese snored a lot, despite the latter adamantly denying it. It annoyed Dark Cacao somewhat at first since he was so used to sleeping in silence.

The two night owls among them; Lily and Vanilla, sometimes stayed up past reasonable sleeping hours and didn't realize their conversations kept up the lighter sleepers among them. (Goldie and Cacao)

Some of them talked more frequently in their sleep than others, like Cacao and Hollyberry. It made for some interesting conversations come morning if anyone was awake to hear them.

And, White Lily has night terrors. Pure Vanilla forgot to inform the rest of his friends about it, so the first time it happened he sent sorry glances towards the others as he helped Lily calm down. He couldn't really explain the entire situation; that was Lily's right whenever she felt like it.

Subsequent occurrences of this happening involved more of them coming to help soothe Lily back to sleep, but in the end Hollyberry has the longest streak of it besides Vanilla. She'll shoo the others back to sleep and sacrifice her own to stay up with Lily if sleep doesn't come easily to her afterwards.

It takes a lot of getting used to as a group, but it's nothing good communication can't fix. And the occasional joys of staying at a tavern and getting their own rooms for a night.

Soon enough though, these quirks fade into the background as they all ease into a routine and get used to each other. Makes for some good memories to look back on- and opportune teasing material.

I'm not even 15 minutes into rewatching Interstellar and I think there is a chance my imagination is running wild again . . .

I have at least half a loose fic plot already hELP.

can’t believe we as a society don’t hype up geology more. don’t you want to know all the mysteries of the soil and the mountains and the fires within the earth? there are secrets here to haunt your darkest dreams but we’re just like. “nah. i wanna look at space instead”

Happy Halloween, everybody!

I attempted to spread the word about Deep Space Discounts by announcing it to the Midnight Burger fandom...

But is the overlap large enough that someone will write a crossover, or do I have to do it myself?

How to fix 'All Engines Go', an experimental concept:

I've been chatting with @british-hero about TTTE and time and time again AEG has shown up as the black sheep of the franchise (which I understand perfectly, some of the... Err... Choices are a LITTLE questionable at times, but at least it's not the worst of the worst of BWBA am I right?). From remaking specific characters to make them more "appealing to children", to relegating beloved characters to background only, AEG has rubbed old-time fans the wrong way because it's essentially just a reskinned Paw Patrol-type show.

While I haven't exactly grown up with the show, I can definitely see where Rogue is coming from when they twist their nose. And honestly I think I do have a very quick and simple fix for the show's universe. Or, at least Rogue seems to agree with my concept for remaking it:

It's a fairly simple fix but I think it honestly would have benefited the show a lot more if instead of changing characterizations, they just assigned the OG cast teacher positions, and brought in new engines to be the students.

It wouldn't have upset so many longtime fans, and it would have given newer generations a better taste of TTTE while also still having "kid characters" they can relate to.

Honestly the show has a very lovely art style, and aside from making the engines move in VERY BIZARRE ways, it's not badly animated. It's just a pity that Mattel doesn't seem to understand what the audience wants...

But yeah, those are my two cents on this whole thing.
