I've come to some conclusions about where space westerns fall when it comes to "more space" and "more western"

#star wars #cowboy bebop #high noon over camelot #trigun #firefly #I love space westerns <3 my favorite genre <3 #hnoc is the perfect space western in my taste bc it is the perfect medium #between space and western #I could see cowboy bebop and trigun getting scooched around #but star wars and firefly are definitely the end poles #this is just my silly little takes

Blessed Yule! I’ve been watching a lot of Firefly.

I wanted to combine the best parts of Usagi, Space Usagi, and the Firefly space cowboy aesthetic into a little AU. With dinosaurs, of course.

#usagi yojimbo #miyamoto usagi #firefly #might make it a comic later #samurai cowboys space and dinosaurs hell yeah

More alien thoughts:

So you know how fireflies glow in order to attract mates? What if there was an alien species that did that. They may be insectoid, they may not be, but in any case, they just flirtatiously light up at people they’re interested in. Or maybe they also just use it as a sign that they want to form friendly relations. So when they first meet other species they blink their lights at them to show them they’re friendly.

I was reading someone’s post about how a lot people dislike bugs but like fireflies because they glow. So maybe most humans warm up to them pretty quickly because the lights immediately make them seem more cute and appealing. Later, humans need to differentiate a friendly blink from a flirtatious one.

Meanwhile, a mimicking species also glows, however they use their glow to draw in prey (like a lantern fish does). Knowing that their sister species is peace loving and trusted by the other species, they use their similar luminescent abilities to their advantage. Space soon needs to learn to pick out little differences between the two species so they know what they’re getting into when they’re glowed at—do they think you’re cute or do they think you’re dinner?

Aaand because I love unlikely relationship dynamics, maybe in very rare occasions, the aggressive species actually does come to like a human/other species, but people have a hard time trusting them because of the general behavior of their planet.

I’m imagining a human with an aggressive glowing partner, and they’re introducing them to friends like, “Look, my partner is so cute! They glow at me! It was so cute how blinky they were when we first met!”

And then everyone is like “O.O That’s one of the homicidal ones…”

Fireflies- Humans Are Space Orcs

also a quick psa that some people don't have fireflies where they live, please go post pictures/videos/gifs of fireflies so everyone can see their whimsical beauty because everyone deserves that small breath of fantasy

Human Owen and Human Durran pulled Giristlo's tentacle, tugging xem along so xey could go faster. Giristlo was not a fast creature, but Humans had a certain element of eternal impatience that drove them to be fast. Xey clicked xeir jaws in amusement, Giristlo rarely saw Human Durran this bright or Human Owen this- well, Human Owen was always bright. But there was a different aura to his energy now that Human Durran was excited as well.

The crew had landed on Earth for the first time in many, many cycles. Human Owen's date of birth had been celebrated earlier that "week" (earthing time measure) and this was their last night on planet.

Giristlo had been told little about where xier human crew mates were dragging xem, other than it was some earth insect xey needed to see.

Giristlo slid off the ramp from their shop onto the ground, and Human Durran ran to the transportation vehicle common to Earth and pulled Human Owen into the passenger seat. They frantically gestured for Giristlo to get on the backseat, which xey did after some light squeezing.

The ride was short, filled by excited voices and chatter from the humans, and they neared the end as Human Durran pulled off into a dimly lit road. Soon, Human Owen turned back to Giristlo and told xem to cover their many eyes for the surprise. Xey were soon pulled out of the vehicle, eyes still covered, and Human Durran called for Human Owen to turn off the "headlights".

"Okay, Cap." Human Durran's voice was even quieter than usual.

Giristlo barely had time to readjust xeir tentacles before xey were struck immobile by the sheer beauty of what xey saw.

Thousands of tiny spots of light lit the lush field around xem.

"what..." The normally quiet buzz of xeir translator was suddenly overbearing and vulgar. Xey hesitated, then switched it off.

Using the English they had been learning, xey whispered out-

"what is this?"

Human Durran smiled, plopping down onto the ground with Human Owen. His eyes reflected the light, as did Human Owen's.

"fireflies."

I want a sci-fi/space opera TV show with real plot and character development, and more that 2 seasons that's free to watch

have you tried Babylon 5?

I want a space opera with no filler episodes, every episode should have something relevant to the plot

have you tried Babylon 5?

I want a space opera that is respectful to other cultures and religions and shows conflicts between different cultures and how they are resolved

have you tried Babylon 5?

I want a space opera where actions (and inaction) have real consequences that the characters must navigate and deal with

have you tried Babylon 5?

I want a space opera that deals with mystical-like things but remains realistic

Have you tried B5?

I want a space opera where women are actively involved and not treated as a damsel or a plot device I want a show where you see multiple sides to a story I want a show that talks about the harm of colonization and slavery I want a show that shows PTSD and the effects of war I want a show that talks about genocide and racism I want a show with an explicitly LGBTQ+ person, I want a show with fucking fantastic 90's fashion that's 'futuristic' I want a show where every actor is a good actor, I want a show where the main cast is expanded on realistically, I want a show that deals with alcohol, drug abuse, and how it effects those around you I want a show where love is both safety and danger I want a show with a fantastic plot twist that I would never see coming I want a show with excellent quotes I want I want a show with movies that are relevant and expand upon the universe I want-

HAVE YOU TRIED BABYLON 5?!?!??!!!?

Literally the only downsides:

most of the main cast is white, there are many side characters and extras that are POC but most of the cast is white

the LGBT+ character is not expanded upon much

while B5 does have 5 seasons the 4th was supposed to be the end until they got more funding, I personally recommend not watching the 5th season

*correction, original was intended to have 5 seasons but was worried about funding getting cut so season 4 is jam packed and season 5 is flat. they both suffer but personally I find season 5 worse. thanks to @purronronner for the correction!

"Dang, Mal, you've really scraped the bottom of the barrel with this one," Jayne said, looking down at the cage full of Jack Russell Terrier pups. "Although I heard there's some good eatin' on 'em for sure."

"Jayne! That ain't right!" Kaylee scolded, kneeling next to the big cage.

River giggled when one of the puppies licked her finger.

"Can taste freedom. Tastes like cornmeal."

Jayne glared at her, his hand straying to his gun.

"You keep yer mouth shut crazy-"

"Jayne, your mouth's moving. Might want to do somethin' 'bout that," Mal said, glaring at the merc. His eyes were hard and his hand was already on his gun.

Jayne threw Mal one last look before he stomped off, shouldering past Simon. The doctor glared at him before joining his sister at the cage.

"Wash!" Mal yelled to the pilot standing above him on the catwalk. "Set a course for Cassia. The client wants their goods before the week's out."

"And don't the rest of you have something else to do?" Mal added, looking at the group huddled around the crate.

The three kids shook their heads and turned back to playing with the yapping puppies.

Mal shook his head and slowly made his way to his bunk.

Sometimes the bottom of the barrel held all the treasure, Mal thought, gently patting Serenity's hull before he dropped down the ladder. Laughter sounded from the cargo bay and the Captain smiled. Just look at what it brought him.
