this took way to long to make, I don’t know how to draw anything other than people 

but I love them and Geordi deserves a nice suit too 

Vox Machina part 4

To people who use "þ" as an aesthetic "p"

þink again.

getting thorny in the linguistics fandom

þorny*

That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B. 

On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.

This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S. 

That guy named himself SsillySsadass. 

Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E

that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time

oh boy

Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.

И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.

П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.

У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.

Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!

Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

ah yes, that classic horror film SNYEYAPOVUL DIAYAIES

This is pronounced Stargoat.

Reblogging for Stargoat.

STARGOAT

I saw in Japan a bag of marshmallows named SCANDINAVIAN MÅRSHMÅLLOW and I still have not recovered from that. It reads as SCANDINAVIAN MORSHMOLLOW 

If you’re LGBT reblog and tag with your opinion on beer.

I know there's a horny appeal to knives, but if we go by what Odo claims about assassins sticking to one method, Garak clearly likes explosives

The lie he told Julian- bomb. Pre-empting his own assassination- bomb. In the pale moonlight? Bomb. Garak has a preference and it's bombs.

He along with Kira also teaches the Cardassian resistance how to secretly plant bombs on dominion ships.

do you think that without the universal translator, if jankom talks in tellarite to modern day tellarites, he sounds like a lil victorian orphan who was sent to the coal mines

Star Trek: Prodigy

#savestartrekprodigy

obsessed with this phenomenon in ds9 where whenever we see Julian from Miles' perspective they make sure he's shrouded in tender lighting and looking so fuckable just so sexy. hmm.

⭐️ 💫 S T A R T R E K ASK GAME: CREATE YOUR OWN TREK SHOW 💫 ⭐️

1. Give your show a title! (“STAR TREK: ___”)

2. Would your show be episodic like TOS, serialized like Discovery or some kind of mix like DS9? And will your show be animated or rather not?

3. Choose a ship! Or does your show mainly take place somewhere else, like a space station or maybe a specific planet?

4. Which Star Fleet uniform would you want to wear in your show? (e.g. Lower Decks uniform, TOS uniform, TNG season 1, …)

5. A new uniform color will be introduced in your show— which color would it be? (Bonus: what task would you assign to that color?)

6. What position and rank would you have in your show? Can be anything from Cadet to Admiral—or even non-Starfleet!

7. Who would be the ultimate enemy of your show? (e.g. Klingons, Xindi, Romulans, or someone entirely new?)—and what alien species do you never want to encounter during your show?

8. What ‘vintage’ souvenir from the 21st century would you keep in your quarters?

9. Give your captain a catchphrase! If you can’t think of one, just recycle your favorite catchphrase from the already existing ones!

10. Which already existing Star Trek character would you give a cameo in your show?

BONUS. What would the premise of your show be? Exploring new worlds? Finding back home from the Delta quadrant? Fighting a war against a species from a wormhole? Or something entirely different?

💫 -> reblog -> send numbers -> reply to specific numbers OR answer 1 through 10 (+ bonus) 💫

i need more of the prodigy kids spiritually being voyager’s children vis-a-vis their mentorship by holo janeway, who holds voyager’s legacy in code. rok picks up orchid gardening when she discovers her passion for biology. gwyn chooses a vulcan meditation program favored by tuvok. jankom begins to try harebrained schemes to experiment on the engine in the vein of b’elanna and harry’s endless tinkering. zero plays opera records during their puzzle holodeck sessions. dal reads through chakotay’s written diaries he found in his cabin. i’m so tired of people insisting you need a blood link to old characters to be important. why isn’t prodigy considered the star trek: legacy everyone wants already?

If we live a life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again

~Resistance by Muse 🎶 (Can you tell I get a lot of inspiration from this band? 😆)

As promised, lighting scenario #2 for this JC reunion scene! 🥰 Hope you enjoy! ❤️

So here’s something funny.

Animation (writers, actors, etc) is covered by different agreements than WGA and SAG-AFTRA.

So, imagine you were a network who had a critically and audience acclaimed animated show, with a new season almost done anyway, and no current strikes to stop you from producing more.

But you canceled it.

Meredith Rodney McKay, A Science Team

Happy 19th Birthday, Stargate Atlantis!

On July 16th, 2004, the pilot aired. Here's a handy little primer for anyone who doesn't know what the heckity heck this show is about. Everything is totally accurate, 100% true and very, very serious.

So.

This is the lost city of the Ancients, Atlantis, in the Pegasus galaxy, about 3 million light years from Earth. (The Ancients can go fuck themselves. Long story.) Atlantis is a city/spaceship approximately the size of Manhattan. She's semi-sentient, but not really, except actually yes, maybe, sometimes, totally. The whole city can go underwater or into hyperspace. Loves her humans. Home. Declaration of independence imminent.

The Atlantis expedition consists of civilians and military from at least 34 countries (in later seasons, the original expedition was just over a dozen). In no particular order:

Dr. Elizabeth Weir. The first leader of the expedition. The only adult. Sometimes. Okay, not very often. Is not above a little war crime for the good of the galaxy—or at least, for the good of Atlantis. Left a boyfriend and a dog on Earth, but we all miss the dog more than the boyfriend. Eats UN representatives for breakfast. Is terribly awkward on dates and really good at solitaire. Loves her chaos children. Which are:

Lt. Colonel Suicide Mission John Sheppard. Walked through the Gate and Atlantis said, "dibs". Thinks people who don't want to fly are crazy. Not good with emotional stuff. (He's getting better.) Loves his found space family and would die for them, often literally. Stop that. Also loves Ferris wheels, things that go fast, and Rodney McKay. And no, we don't know how he gets his hair to go like that.

Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay. Four degrees, two of which are PhDs, none of which are in social skills. Smartest man in two galaxies. Used to be an asshole, but got himself some friends who loved him such a stupid amount that he had no choice but to change. Still a work in progress. We love to see it. Blew up three quarters five sixths of a solar system. (It was uninhabited.) (Mostly.) Deathly allergic to citrus. Loves fully charged ZPMs, arguing with Dr. Zelenka, MREs, and John Sheppard.

Lieutenant Aiden Ford. Went ass first through the Gate with a grin and a whoop on his very first trip. One of the youngest members of the expedition. Is not allowed to name anything, ever. Mild case of hero worship when it comes to his commanding officer, which is totally understandable. A cautionary tale of how addiction messes up not only you, but the people around you.

Ronon Dex. Used to be hunted by the Wraith, lost his people in a terrible war, and is now a member of Sheppard's team where he gets to shoot things and beat up bad guys. Doesn't talk much, but when he does, he has something to say. Good friend. Excellent hugs, but have Carson check you out for any cracked ribs after. Is one bottle of Athosian wine away from staging an intervention regarding the Sheppard/McKay situation.

Teyla Emmagan. In possession of the team's one brain cell. Leader of the Athosian people. Will rock a baby to sleep and then go outside where a Wraith is dangling from the highest tower of the city and stomp on his hands until he falls 800 feet. Can either beat you up in the gym or force you to meditate on your problem, your choice. Has the aforementioned bottle of wine ready and loaded.

Dr. Radek Zelenka. Keeps the science team sane because Rodney sure as hell doesn't. Loves pigeons, cursing in Czech, and overseeing the thriving black market underground economy that has developed in the city. (Thanks @shaddyr for that lovely headcanon). Zachránil všechny naše zadky víc než jednou.

Chuck the Technician. Aggressively Canadian. Doesn't have a last name, doesn't need one. Is ALWAYS in the control room, seriously man, when do you sleep? Reads trashy sci fi novels on night shifts and organized a betting pool in 5 different currencies when Ronon was fighting Teal'c. Needs to share his eyelash routine because we're jealous.

Dr. Carson Beckett. The most Scottish Scot to ever Scot. Brilliant medical doctor who is not above the occasional unethical unorthodox treatment method. Sweet cinnamon roll of a man. Beloved by all. Loves his mom and wee baby turtles. Someone should take him fishing soon. 🥹

Colonel Samantha Carter. Member of SG-1. Legend. Awesome. Boss. Absolute BAMF. Punched a Goa'uld system lord in the face once. We all have a crush on her.

Dr. Jennifer Keller. Is very doctor-y, for better and for worse. Was all of us when she freaked out being on an alien planet for the first time, like a normal person would. Should totally have gone on a date with Captain Vega in that one deleted scene. [WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAALL]

Jeannie Miller. Rodney's sister. Gave up a career in science to be a mom. Solved Rodney's math problem in her spare time, with finger paints. Loves her brother even when he's being an idiot. Fanfic canon says: her house is always open for him and certain Air Force Colonels to crash in. Don't you dare get a hotel room. Yes, the guest room has Only One Bed, Mer, what's your point?

Major Evan Lorne. If you are a moron and get yourself captured and imprisoned off world, he will swing by real quick with a couple Marines and bust you out. Co-parents Atlantis with Dr. Weir. Is actually a really talented painter. Needs a raise, a holiday, and a drink.

Colonel Steven Caldwell. Grumpy. Has to deal with Elizabeth's chaos children on a regular basis. Will make the enemy ship go away with a big boom and save your sorry ass in space. AGAIN.

Richard Woolsey. Used to be a New York City lawyer, one of the most ruthless creatures in the universe. His wife got the Yorkie in the divorce. Broke his heart. Is actually pretty cool if you let him do his thing (like get you out of an intergalactic war crimes trial by bribing the judges).

I know some characters and all the villains are missing, but this post is already longer than a trip on the Daedalus, so there you have it.

Stargate Atlantis. A show about wormholes, life-sucking aliens, ancient civilisations, space battles—and family, friendship, allowing yourself to love and be loved, and what it means to be home.

Happy birthday, fam.

[ID: 9 gifs from season 4, episode 13 “crossfire” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show odo and worf inside odo's office.

1st gif: odo and worf are looking at a screen, "providing security was difficult enough aboard the enterprise. it appears to be next to impossible on this station." worf tells odo, and turns away from the screen. odo shakes his head and replies, "it isn't easy."

2nd gif: worf is standing in front of odo's desk, he is holding his padd. "i prefer a more... orderly environment." he tells odo, who replies "we have that in common."

3rd gif: camera cuts to show odo standing in front of the screen, he tells worf, "my people have an innate need for order." worf asks odo, "how do you tolerate living here?"

4th gif: odo has walked to his desk, and sat on it. he tells worf, "i make order where i can. for one thing, i have a daily routine which i follow unwaveringly. the shopkeepers on the promenade joke that they can set their clocks by me."

5th gif: worf is looking down at his padd, he tells odo, "unfortunately, i have found it difficult to establish a routine here."

6th gif: odo is also working on his padd, he tells worf, "there are other ways to create order in your life, your quarters,"

7th gif: camera cuts to worf, who has stopped working on his padd, and is looking at odo as he speaks, "for example. everything in mine has its specific place,"

8th gif: back to odo, he gestures with the other padd he is holding in his left hand as he finishes his sentence, "and it's all arranged just so."

9th gif: worf agrees with odo's sentiment and returns it. "yes, mine, too. even with my eyes closed, i would still know where everything was." /end ID]

“Wait, there are people blaming the writers?”

Are you surprised? Fandoms have become notorious anti-writer spaces. Studios love you guys. They can cut the budgets, cut the number of writers, cut the wages of the writers, and you guys always blame the writers. “The writers ruined the show!” It’s never “the studios ruined the show.”

I hate to break it to you: more than half the shows you complain were “ruined by the writers”, were ruined by the studios. Studios cut the scenes and arcs you were excited for. Studios cut the budget of the show, or even raise the budget of the show and force a “bigger, louder, bolder” tone on shows that were unexpected hits (this is where we get “the Netflix look” on every show post-Stranger Things and Queen’s Gambit).

You guys do not do your research. Half your fanfics are tagged with bad faith digs at the writers, when a few searches would reveal how strapped that show was and how poorly the writers were treated. Writers are being given a 10 weeks to write 10 episodes. How are good arcs and scenes supposed to happen under that time limit, with a max of only four writers?

Tumblr, the self-proclaimed “pro-union, pro-worker, pro-artist” site is also a major fandom site. You guys rarely practice good faith consumer etiquette for television and film writers, because your fandom salt always turns you against writers. And studios love you for it.

Yeah, individual writers do create bad writing from time to time. But so do painters, chefs, and musicians. Directors and actors sometimes refuse to film certain scenes or follow a show’s projected style and arc, and the writers always get the crap for a bad performance or a poorly directed episode. This isn’t to blame actors or directors; it’s to point out that you guys have one villain, and it’s always the writers. You guys never give writers the same grace you give animators, designers, directors, actors, composers, and editors.

Studios love you every time you say “the writers ruined the show.” Every single popular fandom is guilty of this. View any of the “why did the writers cut this scene, they hate my characters” talk when leaked scenes hit the internet. Writers barely get paid for what they do write. You think they’re writing scenes and then happily throwing them in the shredder? You guys just eat the talk that studios put out. Always have.
