#is this well known?

[1shirt2shirtredshirtdeadshirt]

For story writing and Star Trek canon timeline purposes I was perusing the official Star Trek website and the character biographies.

Talk came up about a second five year mission set after TMP.

Apparently there was a second five year mission even though we didn't get to see it on screen.

Phase II? Novels? Was I mixing it up with something? I admit I was boggled as to whether it was real or hearsay.

Anyway, research ensued.

Wait what?

Am I crazy?

Have I missed some posts? Years? Hot deets?

Have we been talking about this legendary hush hush second five year mission this whole time, or am I a thick dunce just rolling in late to this party here?

Sure enough upon checking:

Wtf? Genuinely asking because I feel like we don't talk about this 2nd five year mission much albeit being canonically mentioned in Kirk's official Star Trek page.

How was I today years old?!

Tag me in your posts, give me the deets, the tea, any info you have about this second five year mission.

Because I am gooped, gagged, the wig is in orbit.

Have . . . How . . . How have I not heard about this? Should I be embarrassed?

What happened on that second five year mission? Inquiring minds need to know.

And even better, creative minds, fill in the gaps.

FUCK. GUYS. I AM USING MY BLOG AS A NOTES APP RN. I NEED TO REMEMBER THIS.

I JUST REALIZED THAT COLORS GREATLY SHIFT IN HUE DEPENDING ON IF THE SUN IS WITHIN DIRECT SIGHT OR NOT…. MIGHT DRAW EXAMPLE LATER???

Like 99% sure this is just how exposure works, but I didn’t realize how much it drastically changed hues.

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭 #for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this #but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films. #NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days #and got blank stares each time #the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized #my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like #i’m getting off the point #the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #original #my art #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose #its the mix of truth and comedy and genuineness and the fantastic in the mundane #its me asking you to see something so wonderful in something taken so un-seriously #and to love it both ways #also the jurassic park thing #where someone saw the reconstructed gait of a dino #and said. hey hang on. i know that walk. #and pulled up footage of a chicken walking #which jumpstarted the entire study into the link between dinosaurs and birds #in the end take whatever you want from it i just thought id provide some insight #i always like it when other artists do #the point is that i enjoy when people laugh at the end and when they dont #and i like it when they cry. i like it best when they both laugh and cry. eeaao intent #anyway mourn your losses but to live is to change #also hi guys i finally figured out tipping after 5 months so no more annoying ko-fi link

ohhhhhh I truly cannot get over the EVIL GENIUS of having crowley make a point of immediately taking his sunglasses off every time he's in the bookshop or alone with aziraphale this season, showing just how comfortable he's become showing his emotions and his vulnerability to aziraphale since season 1, opening himself up completely at every opportunity, showing us a side of him that's remained almost entirely hidden for millennia, only for him to silently and purposefully put his sunglasses back on immediately once aziraphale rejects his love confession. like, bravo gaiman, I saw what you did there and I'm never going to fucking recover from it. well done

#THE WAY IT WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL AS WELL. WE WERE ALL SO EXCITED FOR A SEASON WITH MORE CROWLEY EYES #WE ALL NOTICED IT. WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. #good omens #good omens spoilers #ineffable husbands

Chara can stand exactly ONE human. That's it.

#randomly thought of this meme and got this idea and then HAD to drop everything I was doing to draw it #sillies #at the beginning of the pacifist route chara's like: 'WHY did I have to get stuck with a human of all things? ugh' #but eventually they're like #'i've only known frisk for at most a couple hours but if anything happened to them i'd kill everyone in this room and then my- ah. well.' #undertale #safeutdr #chara dreemurr #my art #frisk #frisk dreemurr #meme #chara #chara undertale #undertale chara #undertale frisk #frisk undertale #🌼

Honestly I think a lot of people who have never made a gif for tumblr don't get that it does actually take time and effort, its not just rip it from a video and post it- you have to download the video, in my case I have a video player installed that grabs continuous caps, figure out what parts you need, you have to open those in photoshop or gimp, depending on where you got photoshop you might be paying for it every month and then on top of that is actually sizing, cropping, colouring, sharpening, adding text, etc. etc. like it is something that takes time and effort for which the only real reward is creating something that makes you happy and hopefully people reblog it with a nice or funny tag, so maybe keep that in mind the next time you think gif makers are being mean or unfair for being upset about reposts. It is its own little artform that is fairly unique to this website, and that's a big aspect of why I have always loved tumblr, if all the gifmakers stopped posting things would be a lot more boring around here.

#like its well known reposting art or fic is rude so idk why gifs are free game #and why people are always so ~its just a gif~ okay well if its *just* a gif then you go and make one to that quality #oh wait you cant bc it actually does take time and practice #ive been at this for years and i still dont know all the tips and tricks #also the reason i mention all the software needed is bc like. you have to find install learn and it takes up space on the drive #so just reblog stuff and appreciate people that make fun content

See when I say there's no show like BBC Merlin, it's like... it's the little things you know....

For example, Merlin casually spilling wine (water?) on Arthur as he serves them. It's not a main focus of the scene and they don't pull any attention to it, yet it's so funny and so in character. Esp with Arthur about to say something, realising it's not worth it and just wiping his hand as Merlin continues serving, none the wiser

#merlin continues to be the worst servant known to man and arthur's like yeah well he's my gremlin now what can I do #bbc merlin

People who say 2019 cats is a crazy/weird masterpiece have never seen an actually crazy weird movie in their lives I'm so sick of 2019 cats propaganda it's not even entertaining bad it's literally completely devoid of creativity and artistry and I'm SICK of people acting like its anything more than bad acting and bad cgi the visuals aren't even that weird!! Nothing pisses me off more than someone acting like 2019 cats is anything more than a poorly made normie film. It's a "weird" film for disney fans that's it.

#go watch rubber go watch eraserhead go watch pink flamingos go watch mad god and tbh even THOSE are like. well known weird films. #scratch the surface of weird cinema I'm begging u #tcp #is there a 2019 cats hate fandom im there im in it

#meat! food for the pack! we're eating well tonight! #for context I mentioned earlier that in their setting normal four-legged dogs don't exist #which is a bummer since in canon timeline Vasco likes to hunt and in that era hunting usually involved a lot of hounds #and they just have to do without #own art #own characters #CanisAlbus #art #artists on tumblr #Machete #Vasco #anthro #sighthound #dogs #canine #animals #modern au #comics #typically sighthounds are also known for their high prey drive but I think Machete's reaction time and fitness leave a lot to be desired

He'd moved to metropolis on a whim.

The city was big, he's earning good money via commissioned things (most people come to him for cosplay actually, who knew that knowing how to build a sci-fi gun that doesn't even work would be this wanted??) and he's got a nice apartment!

Superman and Supergirl were the active heroes, he didn't need to involve himself anymore with the world of heroes, he would continue as a civilian. It was better this way.

So how come LexLuthor, of all people, what is his luck?, sends him an invitation to LexCorp AND once declined, seemed to have created some sort of energy absorbing weapon that directly zoomed in on his immediate whenever around?

Civilian life is one thing.

Being rescued via Super for the 9th time is another.

"Hey Danny." Supergirl grins, they're floating to the side as Superman deals with Lex.

"Hey, Supergirl." Danny replies with a sigh, holding his bag.
