#i have the attention span of a squirrel

[fourthreee]

Saw a post a while back about favourite and least favourite bits of star trek and I wanted to join in. So here's my two cents :

Original Star Trek

Favourite: Spock. Bones. Scotty. Uhura. Kirk. Chapel. Sulu. Chekov. EVERYONE. The sets. The lighting. The camp. The blatant homoeroticism. The do or die for each other crew. That time they found an alien that was just a pomeranian wearing fancy headgear. The fact that every episode is self contained and ends with a little bit where everyone stands around the conn and chats. Leonard Nimoy. Sulu with a sword. Sulu the rest of the time.EVERYONE. This is my favourite trek, and the one I return to over and over again. First trek is best trek.The bell bottom trousers and cuban heel knee high boots. More kinky boots, modern trek, d'ya hear me? More kinky boots.

Least favourite: When the show reveals how terribly it can abandon everything that makes it good. Of all the episodes, there's about a third I just cannot watch. Times where they fill it full of weird christian metaphor.

TNG

Favourite: Geordie and Data. And Spot. I keep trying to watch this but I've only ever seen A Fistful of Datas. IT was great. And horribly horribly slow. (oh. And one where Picard chases bandits through the ship armed only with a saddle and while dodging a laser car wash. That one was great. Except for when I rewatched this as an adult. When it was horrifying.)

Least favourite: Invented the holodeck which gets used too much later and which always confuses me. Can't watch holodeck episodes without obsessing over how it works. Everything is carpeted and it panics me. Why are there wall to wall carpets in the future. In high traffic areas. Also it was genrerally too slow and difficult to watch. And whil I love Hornblower I have a headmaster nor a Naval Captain fetish, so Picard never does it for me.

DS9

Favourites: Everyone. Everyone together. I want Sisko to be my dad. Or my friend. Or my Captain. All of the above. Julian Bashir trans icon. Jadzia Dax trans icon. Everyone is poly and queer. Ferengi episodes. Kira Nerys lesbian energy. Every 36 hours I turn into a liquid. I can swim. The whole Odo marrying Lwxwna episode. Our Man Bashir. He was more than a hero. He was a Union Man. It's written all over his back.

Least favourite : When they switched to serialised I do struggle to keep watching. Taking away Kira's butch haircut and stompy boots. Show never recovered from that. Any time they give Kira a beard. I've never finished the series bc I couldnt face the Julian/parents arc or the Jadzia death/Julian and Ezri thing. When they stopped Andrew Robinson from being on screen with Siddig El Fadil. Any time Dukat got more than a minute airtime. Any executive decision Rick Berman made.

Voyager:

Favourites: Seven of 9. Harry Kim. Janeway. B'elanna. The time they all opereated the French Resistance out of a bar. Stand alone episodes. The time Janeway definitely slept with Amerlia Earhart. The time Janeway ran around in a dirty singlet with a big gun. That episode where they hide the telepaths in the buffers of the transporters to sneak past a moustache twirling villain while Janeway flirts with him like they're both opponent pirate captains with insane homoerotic tension. Ther's coffee in that nebula.

Least favourites: The Doctor. Seven not getting a uniform. Tom Paris any time he's not just Harry Kim's boyfriend. Janeway's inconsistent characterisation. The fact that phages might be a real world last line defence against antibiotic resistance but thanks to voyager it will always terrify me. I've never made it to the end because Tom/B'elanna was too hard to watch and I didn't know how to deal with them actually getting home. Ithink they never should have. Any executiev decision Rick Berman made.

Enterprise:

Favourites: I have seen two episodes and Hoshi Sato has my heart forever. Phlox is great. Tight-wound angry queer british guy can stay too. Travis is great. Theme song is terrible and I love it. It's so incongruent. Sounds like the sort of country song you listen to while committing suicide in the bathtub. Can't stop singing it. The fact that it killed Rick Berman's career.

Least favourite: Everything else. The dog in particular. Why is it there. Why is it soulless. Poor Jolene Blalock. Why are their uniforms so bad. I love a jumpsuit but they didn't colour code them properly! Every executive decision Rick Berman made.

JJ Abrams:

Favourites: Nothing. This is terrible.. If you can't make up you own characters why are you butchering my boys. Go away.

Least Favorites: Trying to remake wrath of Khan (the worst movie with the original cast imo) without even bothering to buiild the relationship that makes us care. Why is he still white? Why are they in a brewery? Why is Pike a hot dad now? He's a wreck of the american masculine heroic ideal who exists as a counterpoint to Kirk. If tumblr wants to make his doomed ass a poor little meow meow fine. JJ Abrams shouldnt put him in his movie. Every exectuive decision they made about women in this movie. Making Sulu gay in massive disrespect to Takei's depiction of him and Takei's own acting skills. Making everyone else straight in the worst possible way. Pretending miniskirts in 2009 meant the same thing as in 1969. Also I stoppped after the first couple because it was starting to feel like self harm. Blue orbs. The fact their chracterisation feels like if you'd never star trek but a cabbie had explained it you once badly, and the fact that literally WAS WHAT HAPPENED

Oh wait. Leonard Nimoy cameo. only good thing.

Discovery.

Favourites: Wanted to love it. Couldn't see what was going on because it was too dark. Everytime I tried in spite of that I fell in love with many parts of it, then they immediately fucked it over. they fucked over a thing I love. Michael Burnham? In jail for unfair reasons. Cap. Georgiou? Dead. Burnham should be Captain, and I think she still isn't. I don't know I couldnt see. Etc etc. Apparently it gets better but It's too serialised to start in the middle.

Least Favourites: Too dark. Bad uniforms (Why would you bring back the ENTERPRISE uniforms of all things?) The fact that klingons are now middle eastern coded so that they still align with the zeitgeist of who we're being xenophobic again right now. (OOHscary FIGHTYculture is Russian. No WAIT black. NO middle eastern. yeah) Jason Isaacs. I liike my villains NOT on the crew. Why does EVERYONE have to be related to Spock

Lower Decks: I don't do this format of cartoons.

Prodigy: I don't do this kind of animation either.

SNW:

Too dark to see. Also stop just redoing the original characters. Make your own. For years now I get excited about new Star Trek and it ALWAYS either too dark to see or animated to see or just about tos characters done badly. At which point I'll just go watch tos. Also remember when Star Trek uniforms actually looked futuristic? Yeah, me too.

Turn the lights back on and maybe we can talk.

#long post #og 4:3 #star trek #this makes me painfully aware of how few shows I actually watch all the way through #i have the attention span of a squirrel #wrote this ages ago the found it in my drafts

Heya! I love your blog and shitposts and I hope you're having a good day! Anyways, have you listened to the new Batman Unburied podcast? It's written and created by David Goyer and has Winston Duke as Bruce Wayne(as a forensic pathologist), Gina Rodriguez as Detective Barbara Gordon, and Hasan Minhaj as the Riddler, Jason Isaacs as Alfred... the whole premise of the show was interesting and reminded of this one episode in btas (I forgot the name tho...).... so what do you think about it?

Thanks! I’ve never listened to it, I haven’t had the time yet. However, I’ve heard good things so far. Apparently the voice actors are quite good,

#asks #inbox #anon #batman unburied #I can’t get into story podcasts #same thing with audio books #I have the attention span of a squirrel

i made dis because I like when the bug hunts narcissists ♡

#tNC #the narcissist cookbook #bug hunter #fan art #? #i meant to draw something else this is actually a happy accident because i have the attention span of a squirrel surrounded by picnickers

[moeblob]

(it doesn't work)

#tokyo mirage sessions #kiria kurono #itsuki aoi #tharja #i love both of them going along with kiria being ridiculous despite it not working and then being like #you do know you can like cute things too right like you dont have to hate cute things to be cool #also hey wtf is up with the level rec for a quest saying 34 and then being a level 40 enemy hey why #not relating to kiria but another character lol #i dont know how to check active side quests and have the attention span of a squirrel #so i hurried to level grind via tomes and skill books and beat it now i think i may be over leveled for story but idk because #there are SO MANY QUESTS

[soupsandstars]

small break from request. was messing around with a more comic book adjacent style

#Bruce Banner #Hulk #honestly #I don't know how comics artists do it #This was truly an exercise in patience #I'd much rather messily scribble out storyboards my goodness #still fun! #but I have the attention span of a squirrel

[aquariusdeanw]

Seeing people complain that stranger things episodes were too long is so funny to me that I watch like 3 episodes a day of critical role that last four hours each lmaooo

#they’re clearly the weakest link #and I have the attention span of a squirrel like… #the trick is overload your brain #val watches cr :) #critical role #cr1 #critical role campaign one #cr

[marobones]

Slowly and softly opening up commissions. I know it's not super informational but I just want it out there because I'm booorrreeedd and want to have more excuses to draw!

So I guess just dm me at any of the accounts listed? Prices are variable; might be more for more details; less for less detailed characters or headshots/bust/halfbody

#commission #commission sheet #commissions open #I know my accounts are pretty bare; I'm trying to rectify this but everything's on discord so it'll take a while #and also I have the attention span of a squirrel #ask questions if you got em #I'm quite amiable to non-jerks #uhhh what else #I do paypal ko-fi or will trade for nitro #I can do humans usually but they're not my best; I prefer animal characters or even mecha #I love horror so give me horror stuff #so ye

[flamemons]

Do you take requests for art?

hello! thank you for asking, but most likely not!! i have very transient and weak amounts of motivation

i do really like drawing silly drawings of flamon tho, so if its funny and involves flamon, then theres a 9% chance i might draw that. no promises tho 💃

#answers #i know the dumb ADHD stereotype where someones like haha i have no attention span—SQUIRREL is cringe #but thats honestly how my brain works #except replace Squirrel with a flamon. or takuya. they're synonymous

[hawkinsd3vil]

I'm making a promo. Wish me luck.

There are no words to describe how much I hate this shit.

#king nothing : ooc #i have the attention span of a squirrel on crack

[schemmentishoward]

I need to figure out how to motivate myself to finish this x times + 1 time fic of the work wives. I haven’t sat down and finished a fic in so long

#abbott elementary #lisa ann walter #sheryl lee ralph #work wives #fanfic #help I have the attention span of a squirrel #and I feel like I’m shit at writing now #I always feel I’m gonna fuck up the characterization

[sometimesalana]

Me looking back and laughing at the adults in my life who questioned everything I did as a kid, completely oblivious to the big ass sign I had on my forehead that said "ADHD"

#the A is for autizzy #i dunno if i stole Rubys laugh or if ive always laughed like this but the resemblance is willld #it was so painfully obvious yall #thats on having no time perception #horrible executive functioning #and the attention span of Hammy the Squirrel #no sims btw

omg its a kind of out there and projecting hc i made with friends but do you wanna hear a rouge hc i have. Ok so it started cuz i saw how she usually has her wings out a lot and I think that she might actually have weak legs, like weaker than normal so she prefers to fly and use them for balance. she has a lot of upper body strength and that includes her wings and this is proven by how she's able to lift omega and shadow so regularly but when it comes to walking and especially running she can't do it for long without getting really fatigued or really bad pains that affect her for a while. so she flies everywhere and prefers to fly to catch up with shadow or sonic and she kind of hovers around instead of standing, think of like sonic heroes idle animations or whatever... if she DOES use her legs a lot like on long missions or just in general thats when she rests on omega's shoulder for awhile i think :) as for attacks being like, kicks and all, i think that may just be the fact she's a super spy that worked for the government at a point and maybe she has special shoes or smth idk like they help her kicks be stronger as well as support her, especially her heroes boots, as well as her speed with flying probably helping. clearly she can fight its just if she uses her legs for too long, it wears on her and they hurt and if shes not careful it'll hurt for days so she uses her wings primarily.... UM yeah so sorry to fill your inbox like this i just had a projecting moment a few weeks ago and i need to share this because nobody thinks about rouge ever and i have to do all the thinking

OH MY GOD YES... YES!!!!!! YOURE SO RIGHT THIS IS SO GOOD FR Im so sorry i couldnt get to this last night i had to go to bed for work and had a early shift today but IM HERE NOW. ANYWAYS i think rouge and silver shake hands in the "walking is cringe (my legs hate me) real ones fly" club. ALSO DONT BE SORRY your thoughts about sonic characters are always right and also the "kinda out there" disability headcanons are always the best ones fr. they arent even headcanons like theyre real. to me.

#actually been thinking about drawing the few disability headcanons i have for funsies BUT DONT QUOTE ME ON THAT #ive had the attention span of a squirrel lately and also have gotten readdicted to the chao garden. so

[inkovert]

Me: I love reading I love books I’m such a bookworm hahahaha

Also me: *zones out .2 seconds into reading an instagram caption*

#ink rambles #I’ve been in a reading slump for months #and I see all the new shiny books on my shelves and want to jump back in #and then I realize I have the attention span of a squirrel 😭😭 #(audiobooks are the only way I’ve been able to keep reading *something* but even that I have no attention for)
