#Shade-of-Stars

[animentality]

you guys have no idea how much it tickles me to see ds9 trending on the top 20 of shows of Tumblr this week when ds9 literally aired from 1993 to 1999.

this show is 31 years old. it was the black sheep of the franchise for years, was hated by Rick Berman to the point where its canon was disrespected and ignored for every subsequent star trek, including modern trek.

and yet.

still top 20 on trending shows of 2024.

and i'm so glad the youngins are still watching it, and star trek in general.

it just proves my theory that if you make a show that feels like home, people will not only return to it, but bring their children with them too.

also that if you make a really gay and trans half alien half human crew, your show will be timeless.

#star trek #ds9 #deep space nine #not to throw shade but uhhhhh #newer star trek is so derivative i have to wonder if itll hold up at all #it also wants to be purely a drama #but without the world building and warmth that ds9 took 7 seasons building #you can return to the promenade any time you feel lonely #idk if anyone wants to return to the world of discovery or picard

I'm fully obsessed with how willing some people are to take things at face value. I did some reading to find out the best star trek TOS novels and on so many of them (interestingly enough it's usually for the ones written by women, but I digress), people leave bad reviews specifically with the same complaint, time and again. "Spock is too emotional in this. Spock is purely logical you can't write him with emotions like this." And every time i read that complaint i am fully fucking flummoxed, because of COURSE Spock is emotional, what the hell are these people talking about. Spock is shown over and over again in the show to be a deeply emotional person. This is something he vehemently denies, granted, but it is obviously intended to be clear to the viewer that he is LYING when he denies having emotions. Jim and Bones have very specific Looks reserved for when he tells this lie.

There is a very specific reason Spock tells that particular lie, of course. A pretty emotion-based one at that. Spock has a very complicated relationship with his parents and with his human versus his Vulcan culture. Growing up on Vulcan of course Spock wanted to be less human, and be more like his peers. But the fact is that even Vulcans are not naturally emotionless/logical, and they actually have very specific historical reasons for so deeply valuing logic over emotion. So it is absolutely baffling to me to see people just take what Spock tells us about himself entirely as truth. Spock is a bitch and a liar (affectionate) and he is so deeply human in so many ways. That's why people enjoy his character in the first place, imo.

#i mentioned this to my dad #and i love my dad i mean no shade to him but the man is not an analytical person by any definition #he watches tv and its in one ear and out the other. the man is the antithesis of fandom #but anyways even that guy was like 'yeah obviously spock is emotional' #like if your take is so superficially face value that my father recognizes it as dumb? #what show did u even watch #ANYWAYS #i will be over here reading the price of the phoenix and thinking about when spock allows himself to put his guard down #not yr #star trek #star trek tos #spock #prince queuehelm

I brought the skirt I'm working on to the museum yesterday, to get some hand-sewing done at the desk between tours (a lot of my projects end up being done half-hand and half-machine, because I love working on the train or during downtime at my various jobs). you know, the one made of the God-Tier WoolTM

when I invited my coworker, a 19-year-old student, to feel the fabric- in that "OH MY GOD FEEL THIS!!!" tone -her jaw dropped

she had never felt soft, light- or even medium-weight wool in her life. she previously thought, it turns out, that all wool was coarse, heavy, and itchy. she couldn't stop stroking it with that awestruck look on her face

truly, fuck fast fashion and the modern garment industry. for depriving us of sensory richness in our clothing so thoroughly that most of us don't even know what we've lost

#clothing #fashion #I've handled things in museums that you just can't get today. like at all. or you have to pay the stars and the moon for something #that used to be commonplace #and then you go to Target or even thrift stores and it's mostly just. 500 shades of polyester. plus MAYBE two types of cotton #everything feels like jersey no matter what it's actually made of. nothing has substance or structure #Hell Clothing truly

Prompt 233

Danny squawked in utter betrayal as his sister picked him up by the scruff, running before he could attack the ghost hunter. Though it changed to a yelp when a blast nearly hit him, which wouldn’t be an issue if it didn’t almost hit Jazz as well. 

He hiked his legs up, tail curling up as Jazz ran, not exactly able to fly. Her own wings were more designed for gliding through water, and his own were way too small, which wasn’t usually a problem, but using ecto at the moment wasn’t an option. 

They were stuck fleeing like animals, his sister doing the best she could with how their bag of supplies had gotten left behind three states ago. But he was hungry and tired, and honestly wanted to bite the next person to attack them, ghost hunter or no. He bet it would make him feel better.

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Ghosts are Dragons #Halfa Jazz #Halfa Danny #A pair of not-adult dragons running around the city fleeing hunters Definitely gets heroes’ attention #It just also gets rogue attention first as well #As well as the rest of whoever lives there #Danny is a noodly boi with black scales w star spots and ice-blue fur along his spine & green/black wings #Jazz is slightly larger with orange fur & different shades of blue on her scales #Space Core Danny #Ocean Core Jazz

Most recent Cody drawing vs. my first drawing of him from a year ago

This character has taken over my life and I am so delighted by the community I’ve joined because of him.

#chiligerart #commander cody #the clone wars #star wars #sw tcw #fingers crossed we see Cody again soon! #rushed the shading a little bit to make the post before midnight
