Saw this license plate today and I'm still ugly laughing about it
Btw has anyone read the wayfarers series by Becky Chambers? I'm only part way through the second book, but I absolutely ADORED the first one and the fandom is basically non-existent. I'ts been on my mind for literal weeks and I really wanna talk about it lmao
Possibly my favourite book series of all time

So very much this.
Like, there's this scene in Picard, season 3, where they all go onto the reconstructed Bridge of the Enterprise-D.
and, you know, it's supposed to hit you right in the feels, but the problem (one of them) is that Lower Decks and Prodigy had both already done lovingly detailed reconstructions of the TNG bridge less than 2 years earlier.
Contrast this with Scotty returning the original Enterprise bridge in TNG "Relics" back in 1992:
it was the first time that this bridge had appeared since the animated series in the 70s, and it wouldn't turn up again on screen until ENT "Through a Mirror Darkly" nearly 13 years later.
And, on each occasion, it was vastly more impactful than it would have been otherwise.
Pandering to nostalgia is how franchises die.
The cancellation of Prodigy has only solidified my opinion on this.
Watching Relics for the first time, specifically that scene, made me tear up. It has hit that hard since for exactly this reason I reckon, would never have been able to put it into words
Superman as a symbol is nice I enjoy him but more importantly Clark Kent as a guy is incredibly funny. Midwesterner who’s nigh indestructible because he’s also from space. Weirdly jacked guy working in an office building who says ope let me sneak right past ya

He’s like “oh I’m just some guy” while also carrying the entire world on his shoulders. And just being nice and helpful in normal ways too he’s the type of guy who opens pickle jars for you. He’s the guy of all time
It's still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone's Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE
If he didn't want it circulating in 2022 he should have sold better copper
I want to learn to sword fight. Yes to be a badass, but also so I can stand around with my wrist on my hilt.
So slutty.
You know what I’m talking about.

What a wonderful, evocative, REAL sculpture. It really brings home how these were living thing, flesh and blood, not immortal. Fellow earthlings.
You can’t fool me that’s just an actual photo of a rotting tyrannosaur carcass.
Here’s a photo my dad took at work
cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it
"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
