#Look at those boots too

[iamamythologicalcreature]

Watching star trek next generation. First episode. 1987. In a quick background shot there's a guy wearing one of the short skirt uniforms. In 1987. SO BADASS.

I absolutely love this quick cut shot. The Federation is supposed to be a utopian society. So the designers are very clearly stating that traditionally feminine garb is no longer gender coded in utopian society.

It's a super quick shot, likely leaving viewers going, "Was that...?" and having no way to confirm it. (No pause, rewind, or video release.) So they can get away with it.

But. Seriously. They did this in what was THE VERY FIRST EPISODE OF THE BRAND NEW STAR TREK REBOOT.

They boldly went.

Brilliant.

[moreaugriffins]

yknow what i'd love to see more of in Ghostbusters?

the og Ghostbusters having little mentor moments for the new Ghostbusters

Loved that Ray was along for the ride in Frozen Empire, he wanted to get stuck back in, and he wanted to help Pheobe and Podcast with the mystery

but it would've been great if just occasionally Ray (or Peter, or Winston, though they weren't interacting with the new guys on a personal level much) just dropped a couple of tips he'd learnt from his time, or just helpful anecdotes from back in the day - the kind that you're confused by at the moment but later make you go "oh shit, that's why they told me"

#rambles #ghostbusters #ghostbusters frozen empire #I know we see them like a year or two into official ghostbusting so they already had most of the mentor moments #but god i think it wouldve just been fun to see little moments #Trevor getting confused by antics or plans and winston just being like #look - if you think it's ridiculous i find it's best to shut down #the idea before ray gets too excited by it #“what if that doesnt work?” #“pray that your body won't ache in every way by tomorrow” #or ray looking over an ancient artefact (like that sphere) and nodding being like #it's from [insert ancient civilisation]. you can tell by #the language #and podcast (or pheobe) asking “how can you tell? it's similar to [insert other language]” #yes but you can tell by the curve of these symbols. trust me kid - when you have to research dead langauges a hundred times a week for #years you start to tell the difference. I actually made a handy-dandy reference sheet to make it easier #idk what tips or stuff Peter would give - he's giving “use talcum powder and double socks for those boots. youll thank me later” energy

gotta get that twig to the nest !

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

aaaaaHHHH thank you ok ok lets see.

i can't explain exactly why these ones stick out, but i've always been fond of them. i was really happy with the way i was able to use that static pose in the first picture, and it felt strangely organic, like it really was in the middle of an action scene. if i were to retake it today i'd probably add some more contrasting light so it's not so warm toned throughout, but overall i still really love this one. the second one is just pleasing to me, something about the framing i really enjoy, even if there isn't anything particularly special about it.

i am Not Good with shippy shots, especially spicy ones, so it feels extra nice when i take one i like. i'm really happy with the sense of movement in the first one and the fact that its framed as a peak behind the curtain. the second one is simple, and i can't really explain why but there's something so soft about it that makes me really love it. i love the cool colors juxtaposed against the flare of red coming from dum dum's eyes that light dagger up. no chaos, no mayhem, just two dumb boys in love.

i wasn't going to include this first shot because i feel a little bad about taking it, but i'm also really happy with how it looks, and specifically how imposing dagger is in it, reigning over his kingdom. and of course, honorable mention goes to this ps4 shot i took a long time ago. i'm STILL proud of this. i even tried recreating it on pc and found i couldn't quite recapture the magic here. the intimacy of it, the sort of rabid amusement in dagger's eyes, and the way the dark lighting/graphics makes his makeup look heavier and greasier. it just works so well and i'm proud i was able to pull this out of my ps4. (no saul's were harmed during the taking of these pictures)

#stomping on self doubt squashing it with my boots #2nd honorable mention goes to my somewhat recent chainsaw pics i'm really happy with those too #that took me 2 photoshoots to do because i wasn't happy with the first attempt. they look simple but its hard posing that thing #and making it look natural dkafljkaldajs #and along with the blood splatter and also positioning the tongue idk they turned out well i think. i'm talking a lot about pics #i didn't even include here alfjdkafjdsak its fine

Bit pricey but i think american duchess has some boots that go up to like 19-20 inch calf circumference?

oh yeah i've seen their bicycle boots around a lot! the fact that it was leather + textile on the upper made me hesitate though, i'm still holding out for just leather... but it's been in the back of my mind

#sovo answers #another thing that makes me hesitate is that they claim to have a calf range of 14-20... in a *single boot* #of course this means that the closer you get to 20 the more those boots will visibly not fit you correctly #i recently tried a pair of boots that are of a similar lace-up + belt on top design that advertised a large calf range #and it looks. so ugly if you're at the max end of the range. it looks like you're bursting out of the shoe #& i was like. would i really wanna live like this... with expensive boots that'll remind me of how poorly they fit every time i lace them.. #it'd do the same mental damage as buying a dress 2 sizes too small in the hopes that i'd make myself fit someday

2x21 "crisis" really is a perfect episode

#mash #i cannot BELIEVE the plot of this episode was really it's cold and we need to snuggle for warmth #the supply line got cut off so we need communal sleepovers for Morale Reasons #it's PERFECT! #i just know frank is that kid who's like 'can we please be quiet and go to sleep' #frank thinks they're gonna get in trouble if they're too loud #i'm going to finish s2 today and i really enjoyed it overall! #i think it's stronger than s1 (understandably) and the episodes have more rewatchability #however on the other hand there episodes like for want of a boot and as you were that feel like all set up and no payoff #similarly dear dad 3 didn't really feel committed to the epistolary format and didn't do anything interesting or meaningful with it #also bc i am a person who loves spoilers and context i know what happens to henry so every passing episode i am filled with dread #that's my DAD what do you MEAN he's gonna get shot down over the sea of japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #also mclean stevenson is giving possibly my favourite performance. he's just Saying things by accident #not one word in his mouth has ever been there on purpose he is possessed by the spirit of your dumbest uncle #i'm still lukewarm on trapper. the vulture instinct i feel on account of him looking like buddy the elf has settled #i no longer want to tear that man to shreds out of primal rage i only wish he'd get his own plot & a more distinct personality #those are all my thoughts rn #i have to bribe myself with the Very Special Gay Episode so i can finish this cover letter #id in alt text

I don't understand why it's generally not socially acceptable to recognize your good qualities. Like I don't understand why it's bad to be a show-off or a know-it-all or to brag. Like I think most people know "those things = bad" but not why.

It also seems like people are always either waaaaay into one end of the scale where they are just so unbearably full of themselves and have preposterously high self esteem (and most people act like this is fine too? Like a lot of celebrities and white men specifically seem to be like this) and I don't understand why so many people respect them then. Or they're the complete opposite with self esteem way too low despite the fact that they have redeeming qualities.

I feel like maybe the reason it's considered bad to brag is because you might 'make' other people feel inadequate but see that seems like a stupid reason to me because the problem then is not that you stated an opinion of your own self worth but is actually that everyone else is conditioned to compare themselves to each other in a very unhealthy way. And I think instead of discouraging people from opening up about what they take pride in, what they like about themselves, what makes them feel happy or content or confident, maybe we could just be discouraging people from viewing those things as personal threats? Idk just trying to formulate some thoughts on this

#idk why but this feels like a very convoluted topic #like so many people are probably coming from different starting positions on this than i am and im afraid that might #make it be misinterpreted or something #like i feel like there definitely is a balance where some self esteem is too little and some is too much #it just feels like it is exceedingly rare to find anyone with ideal realistic self esteem and idk why #i also dont mean this in a way to say that every action is the responsibility of the people taking offense either #because obviously thats not how that works. its understandable to demand a certain amount of respect #and to accept that your words (even the ones you say about yourself) could negatively impact other people #and thats not necessarily on them for being defensive #idk social concepts are strange and foreign to me so im still figuring this stuff out and through an autistic lense to boot #so sometimes i feel a bit like im conducting a study or an experiment more than writing a blog post #im just trying to understand people because i need to #it seems like the overwhelming majority of allistics have absolutely no interest in why they do the things that they do #so i have to go around experimenting instead of asking direct questions about this stuff #because when i do ask direct questions they look at me like i just asked them if the sky is actually blue or if its just gasses up there #in case you are not the most common dimwit. the sky is both of those things. however when you ask someone a question #phrased like that about a topic they dont want to admit they dont know about. they will usually avoid the question or answer absurdly #its actually kinda funny you should try it sometime #now im distracted because i dont know enough about how the sky works and i need to know #anyways gonna go down a research rabbit hole methinks
