“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

FanFiction.net is not gone.

Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.

So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".

Please share so people stop panicking.

i hate pickles

pickles are the shit and I love them overpowering everything I touch.

God, I can't tell you how much the "there's not enough enrichment in my enclosure" joke has helped my mental health. Because, for some reason I can't comprehend, pretending that I'm a zoo keeper caring for an animal (which is also me) just makes everything easier to comprehend. Like "Your head gets screwey when you're apartment is messy" just doesn't carry as much resonance as "The tiger becomes agitated when its enclosure is cluttered" because then I'll be like, no shit? The tiger? I've gotta keep things nice and clean for the tiger.

So it seems, via virtue of me owning a sewing machine and knowing how to use it, I’ve somehow accidentally ended up as the tailor for my co-workers (hemming pants for $5 a pair.)

Co workers; “Man we used to take them to the tailor but that’s kinda pricey :(”

Me; “Why don’t you just hem them yourself? That’s what I do?”

Them; “Wait you know how to hem your own?”

Me, slightly puzzled. “Yeah, it’s not that hard. Takes like, 5 minutes.”

Them; “You can sew that fast???”

Me; “Well, the sewing machine can. Takes more time to get them cut and pinned up to the right length honestly.”

Them; “YOU HAVE A SEWING MACHINE??? AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT??? HOW MUCH WOULD YOU CHARGE TO DO MY PANTS?”

Me, even more confused, thinking that ‘hemming a pair of pants’ was basically the simplest thing ever; “Uhhh…yeah, I dunno, like five bucks?”

Them; “OH YOU ARE SO HANDY HERE I’VE GOT FOUR PAIRS.”

And that’s how I learned that no one apparently knows how to hem up their stuff any longer. 

I mean, no one knows how to hem things any longer. They can only hem them shorter.

BA DUM TISH

Good morning! I’ll be working on these two today :)

why did nobody tell me I accidentally referenced Star Wars with the high ground comment even though I’ve literally never seen Star Wars and know jackshit about it. My knowledge extends only to “Luke, I am your father”, Baby Yoda and Pedro Pascal.

That’s it.

How did this happen. Why.

Why me and why today.

@paper-lilypie I couldn't resist

SCREAMS

Ok I found this again and am laughing but there’s also another Star Wars reference here made no one pointed out yet

Stxgxxgxhhchc

the grated yell that came out of me when I scrolled back up to check

Head feathers/Crest resembles a nightcap when relax. Moondrop's crests gives away his feelings and intentions to those who are observant. It can be used as a form of defense to appear frightening and aggressive when approached too closely.

Once he embarrassed his wild side and went to live in the nearby forests and mountains, he torn off his bells so he can actually catch prey. But even wild, Moondrop will visit the farm to protect it at night from predators and intruders, due that he sees them as being within his territory. He still cares and loves both Sundrop and Y/N deeply, but he just couldn't stay at the farm anymore. And don't tell anyone, but Moondrop does stop by the farm long enough to hear his brother's morning cry before heading back to his own nest.

Y/N does leave Moondrop food because zir still care for him, created a special perch just for Moondrop. Y/N had full intention to release them both back into the wild. But it so happen that Sundrop ended up domesticated being more like a guardian dog, while Moondrop became too dangerous to force him to stay on the farm.

(*note: You could say that Moondrop did develop an Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). He was very timid as a chick and got overwhelmed easily. Despite Y/N and Sundrop always being understanding and supportive, which did bring him some comfort, Moondrop did eventual leave the farm after an incident.)

Guess when I drew these out, my computer didn't want to save them nicely. OH well. Too lazy to try to draw it again.

Happy Eid ul-Adha(or Bakrid, or Eid Mubarak) to any people of the Muslim faith this year! This is for 6/29/2023

Moondrop Harpy

Face/Head a combination of barn owl, black cockatoo and similar wing coloration of magpies. He has a crown of feathers that when relax looks similar to the iconic nightcap.

More of a nocturnal predator than his brother, Sundrop, his eyes and wings more akin to the nighttime, similar to owls.

Head and upper torso akin to humanoids, save for the face being more flat-like and huge mouth/smile.

Sundrop Harpy

Face/Head a mainly based on the red roaster with facial structure of the owl, similar to his brother, Moondrop. But his eyes would be more like golden eagle and not as well suited for nighttime.

Character design is heavily based on the common rooster. He prefers to running rather than flying due to his fear of heights. Only really using his wings to propel himself down safely to the ground.

He also has the feathers and crest of a rooster, which especially poofs up when he's excited or trying to be scary.

Head and upper torso akin to humanoids, save for the face being more flat-like and huge mouth/smile.

I’ll cop to being, at best, a casual anime fan and an incidental nintendo fan like some sort of goose that got lost on migration and decided to stay for the catchy musical score but I’ve had a thought that’s been making me laugh for like 20 min now:

Replacing any Shonen Protagonist with Legend of Zelda’s Protagonist Horrible Klepto Gremlin and Professional Fightboy,  Link.

Doesn’t matter which link beyond “what’s funniest in this particular scenario”.  Maybe a specific Link, maybe an amalgamation of all Links into a superpowered multidimensional agent of Chaos.  A HyperLink, if you will.

Then plop that bad boy down into the start of any Shonen anime and watch it go completely off the rails.

shounen anime is all well and good, but have you considered the following?

1. Link is, apparently, Literate.  This is a tremendous surprise to me.

2.  You, my good personage, are a GENIUS, becuase somehow Link “Adeventure Is My Middle Name”  McStabbington somehow screw up every shonen anime but stays weirdly on-track for shoujo.  For instance:

So apparently there’s a new Leg of Zeg game out and Link got an engineering degree while I wasn’t looking. Good for him! Let’s talk more Anime:

-A mysterious broadcast signal from the moon turns all humans on earth into stone! Several thousand years later, veteran Time Traveler Link pops out of his stone cocoon, decides that ‘doing it the long way’ sucks, and stomps off to rebuild civilization using random garbage and looney tunes physics.

-A terrible new form of space weapon called a “Mobile Suit” has been created- these child-controlled behemoths cut swathes of destruction as they wage a territorial space war, impervious to all but the most powerful weapons, and that one kid carrying a frankly improbable number of explosives and a smartphone that can manipulate inertia and electromegnetism (??), riding around on what appears to be a rocket-powered tractor.

-While out at summer camp Child of Destiny Link is suddenly transported to the Digital World, where an adorable little blob of an animal declares itself Link’s Digimon Partner! No stranger to having a Weird, Loud little critter following him around, Link is slightly perplexed when the fat orb wants to fight the enormous monster on his behalf. Silly Digimon- that’s HIS job! Grappling hooks his ass up to Devimon’s castle and beats him to death with a tennis racket he found on the way.

-A mysterious book called a DEATHNOTE falls out of the sky in front of Link, who carefully reads the rules, and shrugs, because if he REALLY needs someone dead, He’s going to want to do it in person, and Link has never given a shit about the police. He’s gonna hang onto this book, because it looks like an important quest item, and Ryuk languishes in Links Inventory for the rest of the Series.

-The barbaric battles where legendary and historical figures are summoned to fight on behalf of Mages known as the Grail Wars are rudely interrupted when Link sees Iskandar, assumes it’s Ganon AGAIN, and beats his way through the lineup to get to him, even besting Gilgamesh by putting the king’s inventory skills to shame.

-Salt Middle School gets a new transfer student and Shigeo Kageyama is initially distraught by his teacher assigning HIM to show the New Kid around, but turns out, Link ALSO enjoys Milk, long amicable silences and complaining about getting into stupid battles with the multiverse’s most magically overpowered and emotionally constipated Dumb asses. It’s nice, to have a reliatively uncomplicated friendship for once.

pov: you're lost in the blizzard and you come across this guy

congratulations, you survived

A funny thing of y/n x daycare attendant I felt really fit as a joke

Someone draw vegeta like that last pic

sure thing boss

Can I jump in on drawing this Ultra sparkling homeboy Vegeta thing too

I adore @maudiemoods Pokemone Sun and Moon they’re just so shaped and the desings fit them perfectly. Also their backstory (including Eclipse) is just *muha* chefs kiss. 

and who wouldn’t want to sleep on a cloud huged by the best friend.  

Now THIS is the Dragula babe content I WANT.

I’m crying this person is so hot

“We’re gonna get you out of here.”

I....may have gone a little bit overboard on this one, but @bamsara ‘s series ‘Cryptids Emotions and the Possible End of the World’ has given me brainworms for MONTHS and the latest update has only made the worms worse by talos this cant be happening-

Zim might be one of the smartest Irkens alive:

In the comics, an Irken Engineer named Skrang built this thing:

It’s a prototype wormhole generator, giving the Tallest the ability to teleport anything to the base of any Invader, heavily implied to be the first of its kind.

Skrang had help doing this. He wears a specialized backpack filled with dozens of harvested Vortian brains, which presumably gives him a boost of intelligence. It’s a literal think tank.

Now it’s pretty safe to assume that Skrang either invented the wormhole generator on his own or at least played a massive part in doing so, as he wouldn’t need the extra brainpower if he was following a blueprint made by someone else.

Irkens are extremely intelligent on their own, especially when it comes to machines and mechanical devices. Vortians are also extremely smart, being tied with Irkens for the rank of “smartest known species in the Galaxy”. Now take that information and think about how complicated that wormhole generator must be.

It took an irken artificially increasing their intelligence with dozens of Vortian brains to make a one-way prototype. It took two of the smartest species in the Galaxy mixing several of their brains together to make this thing. (Minor headcanon: the only reason that Vortian brains are being used in the Irken Think Tank instead of Irken brains is because Vortian brains are easily acquired now that the Empire has captured Vort, while harvesting an Irken brain means killing a perfectly good Irken).

Point is, this wormhole generator is extremely advanced, possibly more advanced than anything else in the entire galaxy, and it took harvesting the brains of dozens of the galaxy’s smartest creatures and connecting them to another one of the Galaxy’s smartest creatures to figure out how to build it. And even then they still don’t know how to make it two-way.

Then the Tallest use it to send a piece of garbage to Zim and within minutes, this happens:

Within minutes of receiving the trash, Zim figured out how to trace its origin back to the Massive. This wormhole generator is the first of its kind and Zim managed to easily trace it back to the massive. NO ONE besides the Tallest and Engineer Skrang have seen this thing, and only Skrang knows how it works, but Zim still managed to figure out exactly what it was and trace it back to the Massive.

That’s not really saying much on its own, as the wormhole most likely gave off a unique energy signal that Zim could track, but it’s important for this next thing.

At the end of the comic, Zim does this:

Zim reverse engineered the wormhole generator.

Alright, alright, WAIT WHAT!?

ZIM BUILT HIS OWN IDENTICAL WORMHOLE GENERATOR!? THE THING THAT’S SO COMPLICATED AND ADVANCED THAT SKRANG HAD TO ATTACH A TANK FULL OF VORTIAN BRAINS TO HIMSELF JUST TO MAKE HIMSELF SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BUILD ONE?!

And it gets even more impressive when you realize that Zim has NEVER SEEN the wormhole generator before. All he has to go off in terms of building one is that single energy signature that he used to trace the wormhole back to the Massive.

All he had in terms of blueprints was a single reading showing the energy signal that the wormhole gives off. That’s like trying to build a bomb by using the crater of another bomb as your only blueprint.

He built that thing from SCRATCH. With NO blueprint and a completely unmodified brain. Zim doesn’t have a tank full of Vortian brains attached to his back, and he didn’t need one to build a super complex wormhole generator.

And that’s before you consider that it probably took weeks, possibly even months for Engineer Skrang to go from his original concept to the working prototype that we see. Meanwhile, judging by how Zim believed that he was in serious danger and was trying to build his wormhole generator as quickly as he possibly could because of that, I’d say that it took him no more than an hour to build his wormhole generator, maybe two hours if we’re being generous.

In other words, Zim’s brain on its own was able to do in an hour what an artificially enhanced Irken brain took MONTHS to do.

And despite that, Zim still has no common sense. He really does have a 20 in Intelligence and a 3 in Wisdom.
