#these are scientists and explorers

[littleinkdrop]

I'm watching Star Trek: TNG: datalore, and I see when they land on the planet that there's a circular staircase made out of stone. The music in the background is classically anxious. Data seems quite detached, well the others are very concerned about the death of the environment. After nearly 3 years of neglecting the show, I had forgotten how whimsical Star Trek could be.

Leblanc!Jayce & Mel

I was going through Arcane frame by frame and found these. Had fun drawing.

Fun fact (not): Everyone whose form Leblanc was taking are dead.

the only thing i learned from all of this is that every time some old guy refers to himself as an “explorer” it usually means that he’s an ultra wealthy billionaire who made his fortune off the backs of others and now chooses to spend most of his money trying to find the best way to get himself Killed whether that’s at the bottom of the ocean, on top of the highest mountain, or on the moon

The fact that the Doof had been paired and proved most compatible with Perry, canonically and repeatedly proclaimed to be one of OWCA's best agents in the field, is curious to me.

Some fics have a throwaway line or two talking referring to his compatibility with other agents. I think, also, about the canonical fact that he remains as third most dangerous evil scientist in OWCA's ledger.

I also like thinking about the fact that we have been proven, multiple times, in VARIOUS dimensions and fluctuations to the time space continuem, that were he not continuously thwarted throughout his career, he would not only have achieved tyrannical rule, he would have EXCELLED in it, and perfectly undefeated, EVEN BY HIS EVIL PEERS that people loved to pretend were always more competent than him.

Like. I think about that. Why? What makes Heinz so dangerous? What made everyone else incompatible to a point OWCA realized they needed to send their best, and he needed to be on call ALL THE TIME?

Curious

Reminder that Rise Donnie has confirmed that his type is “cute and mean” and Kendra’s personality is literally cute and mean.

can’t get over how the writers created the most interesting dynamic in their tv shows’ universe and decided to leave so much left unexplored like why are you allergic to good writing???

(but apparently instead they want to explore the dynamic of a n@zi and soldier boy in a prequel??? i get they want jensen ackles back but the only thing i want to see from those two is them in hell idk)

Been thinking about Hyde in University AU all night last night

I rambled about it on a discord server, but I'll drop what I've rambled about it because I've been wanting to expand this accidental AU that came to me as a dream months ago LMAOO

So here are some stuff thay happened within the AU:

- Jekyll already befriended Lanyon before the accident on Uni, but they're not roomates yet

- Hyde was created by accident during one of Jekyll's lab test and Jekyll have no damn clue how Hyde works nor what happened, but he did remember drinking the potion he brew

- Hyde himself was just as confused, and both Jekyll and Hyde were scared when the first transformation happened within the uni's lab.

- Jekyll's first theory was either he was possessed or he just implanted a parasite-second-personality into his brain from the potion, until Hyde protests against it with his point of view of him being Jekyll, but Hyde still like the idea that he could be an ghost possessing Jekyll just for the spook.

- Timeskip to when Jekyll and Hyde somehow get along, the whole "Jekyll's sick/busy so I'm here to replace him and take notes for him" Hyde shenanigans happens at some times.

- Since here Hyde wasn't created with the thought of him as an evil side, him and Jekyll would actually get along in some way and Hyde could be less of a dick and more of that expressive, chaotic and energetic person with no breaks when it comes to intrusive thoughts, and actually like the idea of having friends because that's what makes classes fun, and he wanted to have the full university experience as much as Jekyll does.

- The reason Hyde was allowed there was perhaps Jekyll was one of the lecture's favorite student for perhaps being a straight-A student, and Jekyll had requested that in order for him not missing his lessons whenever he got ill or sick or have family matters that require him to go back home a few days, a friend of his, Edward Hyde, would be replacing his place to take notes on his behalf, and that lecture accepted it and thought it was smart of Jekyll and let the other lectures know about it.

- Hyde got his own group of friends in uni, and he tried his best to put Lanyon as far away as possible from his group of friends because he's scared that he might like them better than Jekyll they would hurt Lanyon.

- Lanyon grew suspicious of Hyde because where tf would Jekyll be?? He know damn well that Jekyll would rather DIE than to miss science class

- Lanyon would soon investigate Hyde like "who are you and what did you do to Jekyll?" And Hyde was taken back by it because he couldn't find a single wrong thing he did to Lanyon as Hyde.

- The more Hyde replaces Jekyll's place in classes the more Lanyon thought he did something to Jekyll, and what got him into his end of the stick is when Hyde's excuse to be in class was because Jekyll was extremely sick and needed bedrest, and then Lanyon excuses himself out to go to the bathroom and instead ran towards Jekyll's dorm and found no one within the room.

- whenever Jekyll isn't in his room, Hyde would said that he's probably out to take a walk or go back home.

- the affair between Jekyll and Lanyon still happens, but they weren't roomates still because of Hyde.

- Jekyll would rather stay in Lanyon's room for their "affair" instead of his because he told Lanyon that Hyde stayed in his room, which implies that he smuggled an outsider in to sleep within the uni's dorm (Lanyon did NOT like that.)

- Jekyll would make rules with Hyde and told him to not engage with Lanyon, but rules are meant to be broken and he would find his way flirting with him instead during his turn of the day.

- Knowing Uni Lanyon, he was pretty much still a playboy, so he secretly enjoyed having someone actually _trying_ to get with him, but he likes Jekyll enough not to do anything about it because it makes him feel guilt, and it was unpleasant.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has set a historic milestone, becoming the closest man-made object to the Sun. It achieved breathtaking speeds of 430,000 mph while enduring extreme temperatures of 982°C, paving the way for unprecedented solar exploration.

Key facts:

Launched in 2018, this car-sized spacecraft is named after solar astrophysicist Eugene Newman Parker—the first NASA mission named after a living researcher. It’s humanity's boldest step yet, venturing within 3.8 million miles of the Sun’s corona, protected by an advanced carbon-composite heat shield.
