THREEPIO GOES DARK AND OTHER ALIEN CURIOSITIES FROM A STAR WARS STORY.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a couple of concept art contributions to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," an early version of K-2SO and an unnamed, humanoid alien race, c. 2014-2015. Artwork by Kinman Chan. Lucasfilm Ltd.

PIC #1: K2-SO concept art, Version 1 -- "This was the very first concept done for K2S0. I was prompted to create an all black C-3PO for the film in it's beginning concept stages. This was my attempt to get it right."

PIC #2: "I'd painted several images of aliens in their natural habitats for the film. Here's one of them. Gareth Edwards was really pushing for humanistic qualities and relationships between the aliens in the film. It was both a fun and great idea to explore."

-- KINMAN CHAN (professional artist/concept artist)

自衛隊自動車訓練所 - Wikipedia

k-2試験はどこの🈯自動車教習所でも実施され、試験結果５段階の内３以上で適以上ならば民間含め教習出来る仕組みです。従って２以下不適となると当然ながら教習出来なくなり、そして運転免許証取得出来ない措置または其の処分下される為、必死になって予習・復習しなければならないのは妥当です。則ち無事故無違反徹底し、ふざけた行為を失くす取り組み必須です。

Das ist nicht der Adler Napoleons

Ich bin einer der führenden theoretischen Strategen unserer Zeit. Theoretisch wäre ich also ein Stratege, hätte ich praktisch nur etwas Ahnung von Strategie.  Aber selbst ich verstehe, dass das Zeitalter der High-Tech-Waffensysteme vorüber ist, bei deren Entwicklung es weniger um die praktische Anwendung als um theoretische Überlegenheit ging. Theoretisch hatten Staaten wie die USA oder sogar…

How many languages do you know at least little bit of?

Remake of an older poll (link here)

Like last time I am using a strict definition of language and a loose definition of being able to speak/knowing the language.

Details:

Sign languages count, conlangs count, super similar languages only counts one & dialects of the same language usually won't count (unless you can make multiple sentences in both that someone who only spoke the other couldn't understand), for Norwegian being able to write both bokmål & nynorsk only counts as one

You need to know more than 30 words and be able to construct at least one sentence for it to count. it has to be at least one of the following: writing/signing/speaking/whistling, it doesn't have to be multiple.

(and for people with "sampling bias" concerns, this is not supposed to represent society as a whole)

Poll:

It's super cool if you put the languages in tags

[Edit: people are getting mad about the "USA moment" thing and I don't know exactly what to say, but like, the complaint has been heard, you don't need to make it again unless you have some awesome new stats or something. It was never meant as an insult, and it was never meant to be seen as universal, it simply literally describes the majority (I would cite a source but I'll add it later). Overgeneralizations are a basic rhetorical tool it's bizarre to consider them inherently problematic. and tbh it's kind of a stretch to call it an overgeneralization, because I never said "all" or such, merely that it might be a significant portion of votes for that option. I was criticizing US politics a bit. it's not personal. I'm not calling you idiots, or even uncurious, literally just trying to describe reality.]

he hums, smiling down at you from between his legs, both of yours separated by his body.

nanami shakes the vibrator back and forth, watching your legs tense and your back arch dramatically.

“that was a strong one, love.” he comments, not letting up and pressing the wand harder on your clit. “can you give me another?”

you shake your head, trying to sit up on your forearms and scooting away. “c—can’t, ken—mmm—noooo!”

he pulls you toward him again, pressing the vibrator harder against you. “be good for me baby, don’t run.”

keen eyes watch your cunt drool pearly slick, your back arched up as you cried his name, shaking your head.

nanami gives your clit a break, briefly. “you have a safe word baby,” he reminds gently, “do you want to stop?”

your hips twitch, before you shake your head, “i’m okay—mmhmm, aahhh!”

he slips two fingers inside, hooking them expertly against your spot. so wet, licking his lips, cock jumping in his briefs, nanami is so enticed by your entire being. the scent of sex is heavy in the air, but both of you can’t find it in you to care when it feels this good.

“ken,” you whine, hand trying to pry his hand from your gushing cunt. “please, i want your cock noooow—wait! i’m cumming, fuck!”

he hums, pulling his fingers out to rub your clit, cum spraying everywhere. he lightly slaps your pussy, smiling at how your hips jump. “let me play with you a little more, okay love?”

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?

It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!

because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.

Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.

let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done

Four Years Worth of Interesting Performances...

Sometimes there are some performances at the National Finals that stick in the mind. They may not be the ones you'd choose to revisit or blog about, but the memory of them won't leave you alone.

Here are four performances from 1992-1995 that are, well, noteworthy.

Fabienne Pétrisse - "Mon mec est dans la finance" - Belgium 1992 Last Place. There are so many Belgian performances that aren't available to see - and this is one of the ones that is. So Belgium.

K-2 - "Pepeljuge su same" - Croatia 1993 Last Place. From the first Dora in 1993. K-2 have got the velvet outfits, the frilly cuffs and the chokers. Unfortunately this is the most off pitch performance I've witnessed so far.

Megapolis - "Pushkin" - Russia 1994 8th place out of 9. Russian reggae about Pushkin and a man with a 19th century pistol who looks fairly angry about something. Why? I don't know. At least we know it's not Chekov's gun.

Master Fatman - "Jordisk Kærlighed" - Denmark 1995 4th place in final. Currently rated at 4.5 stars on Eurovisionworld.com, Master Fatman was something of a Danish celebrity in the early 1990s. In 1995 he decided to try bringing his style to Eurovision. He tried again in 1996...

OK SO OBVI, ALPHA CENTAURI, A, C, AZIRAPHALE+CROWLEY, THE'RE TWO STARS THAT WERE THOUGHT TO BE 1 BY SCIENTISTS FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF HOW CLOSE TOGETHER THEY ARE AND AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY USED TO BE ONE CHARACTER BUT WERE THEN SPLIT IN TWO AND ARE LITERAL SOULMATES, BUT WAIT! THERES MORE!!!!

Alpha Centauri A is a class G star, which means that they shine YELLOW to WHITE YELLOW

and Alpha Centauri B is a class K star which means that it is one of the second dimmest classes of stars (the dimmest being brown dwarfs) and they shine YELLOW ORANGE to ORANGE

you can't tell me this was unintentional. you just can't, it's so PERFECT.
