#like back in the 80s-90s

everyone else might already know this but i just think it’s funny that canonically The Cage takes place in 2254, so over 10 years before the start of Kirks first 5 year mission as captain. while SNW takes place around 2258-2260

(with the reveal of Carol Marcus being pregnant it would make most sense for it to be 2259 seeing as TSFS takes place in 2285, which would make David Marcus 25 at the time that movie takes place)

anyways, then the beginning of TOS is in 2265, and here’s a visual representation of why i find that funny (using spock as an example because he’s my favorite)

Spock and Pike circa 2254

Spock and Pike circa ~2258

and then back to Spock looking like this in TOS circa 2265 (Where No Man Has Gone Before was the second pilot but The Man Trap aired first so idk which takes place first in canon so here’s both)

also i know most people are probably just gonna ignore it but i would love to see an in-universe explanation for why the hair and clothing styles changed so much between snw and tos.

#star trek #star trek tos #spirk #tos spirk #tos spock #tos #spock #leonard nimoy #star trek snw #like in star wars there’s an in universe reason for the prequels being so much crisper than the original trilogy #i don’t know the whole explanation but star wars is my brothers special interest so i know some #i like the movies im just not all into it #anyways it’s be cool if the explanation was just that our modern 10-20 yr fashion cycle held up #like we had late 60s to mid 80s we’re all big hair and bright colors #then the late 80s to mid-late 90s were muted grungy styles #then back to bright and fun and show as much skin as you can in the 2000s #then the fashion cycle started to speed up because of fast fashion #so then the 2010s were more conservative business casual vibes (still bright colors tho) #and then late 2010s to early 2020s it’s been a way more rapid fashion cycle #anyways i’m done ranting about fashion now i think

'i like everything but country music' my pal youre missing out on songs about a guy being in love with his pickup truck and some of the most whacked out satirical epics ever told.

#i havent listened to this garbage since the 80s/early 90s but im back now and im laughing so hard #specifically 1993 joe diffie im losing it #how can you not like a song called prop me up beside the jukebox if i die #fucking banger.

helmut being reintroduced to the current state of the queer community by the interns, and hes really delighted by pride flag colors, like aesthetically, he needs the baker flag colors painted onto his van immediately since theyre fixing the old thing up soon anyways

imagine the van with brighter retouching to the orange and flowers and then a cool rainbow zip of lines like around the boarder of the van's bottom like around the wheels and stuff. hes looking so cool and gay with it hes excited

#hcs #cospn2 #if you think he was frozen in the 60-70s and comin back in the 80-90s bakers flag is ripe for the useage #also if you stretch and squeeze the timeline like an accordian he'd love all the others too #youre tellin me a bear made this flag? hell yeah

I think the reason people have so much nostalgia for 80s and 90s Barbie--even collectors who were too young to have actually had them--is the material and tailoring of her clothing was better than on modern Barbie.

If there was a giant tub of 80s Barbies and a giant tub of modern Barbies and I randomly grabbed one doll for each then, yeah, I think the odds are that I would find the 80s Barbie more technically impressive.

But looking at Barbie as an entire line, something about her 80s toys feels so . . . elderly. Like an old person's conception of female beauty and fashion, as informed by southern beauty pageants.

It is completely unsurprising to me that Bratz ground Barbie's face into the dirt with their oversize feet when they debuted.

#Barbie #Bratz #Mattel #if you look at the Barbies of the 60s and 70s they are much more fashion conscious #like the 70s Barbies have a lot of earthtones b/c that's what Actual People were wearing #whereas the 80s and 90s had so many dolls that were just like 'little girls like pink and big dresses . . . whatever . . .' #the 80s and 90s did have a lot of bright colors and outrageous fashions so that strategy worked for a while #but then Mattel just kept doing more of the same in the 2000s #when earthtones were coming back in style #big mistake #I saw a clip on Youtube #from a Bratz animated special or something #where the Bratz run over a lady who is clearly meant to be Barbie and then exclaim in dismay 'oh no we ran over someone's grandma!!' #it's so shady but so funny

The Ghost Boys and Finney would absolutely dominate paintball.

They would be in teams red is Robin, Finney, and Griffin. Blue is Vance, Bruce, and Paperboy!

Griffin would probably make paint bombs, and camouflage,

Vance and Robin would steamroll their way through the game,

Bruce would outrun everyone and their guns,

Finney would outsmart people with traps or use the environment to his advantage,

and I think Paperboy would be a very proficient sharpshooter mainly because I think his dad would take him hunting, and he would use anywhere high up as a vantage point.

#pippi speaks #vance hopper #bruce yamada #billy showalter #tbp paperboy #robin arellano #necromancer finney au #finney blake #griffin stagg #I know paintball didn’t become popular until like late 80s early 90s but the boys with paint guns 🥺 #also Griffin would wear fucking goggles and just absolutely destroy other teams because he’s so silent and deadly #finney would probably make a paint ball trap and depending on if Griffin is on his team or not depends on how badly that team gets #splattered with paint. like that one gumball episode #vance and Bruce would probably be back to back shooting people and Vance would use trash can kid shields #*trash can lid shield #damn autocorrect… #the black phone fandom #the black phone

Goldie needs to be able to one up Scrooge (it’s practically an addiction). So when the twins arrived and she hated them she needed a new approach. And she already had stocks in Scrooges business and maybe she’s been neglecting them sooo perhaps she should pay some special attention.

#wink wink #that’s right #Goldie decided to be a business woman in the 90s #((not that she wasn’t already she had a successful hotel empire by this time but still)) #there was no way she’d gone the entire 60s 70s and 80s regularly interacting with Scrooge #((that’s right I said it they spoke regularly for 30 years fight me)) #only for her to allow them to go back to no contact #just because some stupid kids live there now #nah ah #she will get her fix one way or another #and if means sporting business suits instead of her usual adventure gear then so be it #and if she happened to use this to her advantage #to say show off her assets #((or maybe just feel clean rather than dirty and sweaty when she was him)) #like Goldie is fashion icon #we all know this #so when I say she turned up looking her absolute BEST #I need you to know how badly I mean this #ugh I wish I could draw #I would show you guys all the outfits that are in my mind rn #goldie o'gilt #scrooge mcduck #ducktales #scroldie #the duck twins #Goldie is addicted to inconveniencing Scrooge #nothing will stop her

I don’t know where my art oomph went, but I’ve barely drawn all year and I would like for it to come back soon.

#text talk #I was going through my folders and seeing just how piddly my art content's been the last few years #I went from an average of 80-90 pieces a year to 30 #then 15 #now 3 #I want that art joy to come back like the obsession it used to be #Hopefully eventually #will delete later probably

My mom is going on a cruise w her bestie to a lot of European countries she's not seen yet (hasn't been to/lived in Europe or Africa since shortly before I was born). She asked me what gift I'd like and tbh I just really loooooove spices and flavors I dont have the opportunity to discover/try here, but like 🤔 not sure if customs would bar her from bringing spices home. Maybe a cool rock or smth instead as I seem to be collecting small stone animals when I travel lately

#Creepy chatter #trying to recall all the countries... It's a 16 day cruise and only 2 stops have 2 days spent there #2 days in Stockholm :D #My mom is the one that taught me how to cook so like lol our tastes are very similar. I trust her spice senses unquestionably. #She met my dad when they were living in Germany but she spent a little over 2 years living in Egypt in the late 80s early 90s. #After they came back to the states she never went back to other countries really so this will be very good for her I think :) #Always good to leave USA and get a reality check on what the international world is like. the US is so....lol....not real abt so much #Oh you know what I'd also be down for nice olive oil if spices don't pan out. 🤔 Not used to people going on trips lmao. Girl we were poor

Two months ago I spent a whole day hyper focusing on designing a red dwarf bullet journal and today it arrived! :)

#I’ll post pictures of the back later :) #im quite pleased with how it came out but there are a few things I’d tweak if I did it again #red dwarf #yeah it says volume 1 because I fully intend to keep making these for myself as long as I like red dwarf #ie probably a good five years hence at least #the back is not quite as good because the text alignment isn’t what I thought it would be #but yeah I really wanted to lean into the 80s/90s style design elements and challenge myself to emulate it as much as possible

I'm actually so curious which of my f/os have the least screen time... off the top of my head I'm almost positive Joe would be in last 😭😭 then either Ted or Clark. and if we're going by who has the least LINES then I think Clark would be in last... THE MAN IS SO QUIET...

#ALTHOUGHHHH JOE BARRLY SAYS ANYTHING EITHER TO BE TBH 😅😅😅 #i kind of forget that bc he was my main guy back in like 2019 and i made up sooo much about him i forget how little actually exists 🥲 #this is making me realize i should just make my new crush an official crush bc honestly this is kind of my brand LMSMSK #random side character from a 80s or 90s movie with very minimal characterization #that's been like 87% of my f/os throughout my life wkejskjslksld #caitiechat

I don’t think I’ve said it on here before but why didn’t ice dance teams immediately jump to use 80’s movie soundtracks instead of terribly editing the same 5 songs for the rhythm dance.

#you know I originally thought nothing would be worse than the fake Latin last season #and these people continue to horrifically surprise me cause I’m sooooo disappointed with like 90% of the music choices this season #maybe it’s the cinephile in me speaking but a movie soundtrack would be SO simple to choreograph to #instead we’re getting mismatches of songs #GLEE COVERS #besides the lack of movie soundtrack music in general the 80s is an entire decade of music #why are there so many song repeats among teams #we need to dead the fun themes go back to the classic ballroom ones #because clearly we can’t trust these people to do anything right 😭 #rhythm dance #ice dance #figure skating #you’re telling me you only know like ten 80s songs alright!

micro-dosing on doll collecting by looking at dolls online and research binging about the characters

#if you can’t buy all the dolls having an encyclopedia of knowledge of them is fine #i feel like everh month/couple weeks i get invested in a new doll line #it’s like one of those special interests that i don’t talk about as much but like i have so much stored knowledge of american girl barbie #(like ag historical line/goty and for barbie generation girl/so in style/my scene/rockers sensations/tmwos/dance club) #and now i’m getting into rainbow high i don’t even know why like it just happened #not to mention mh and eah are always on the back burner waiting but they are more popular so it’s like more content so that’s overwhelming #even tho that’s a good thing #and like there are a million more doll lines #atm most of my dolls i have are disney or of other media chs but feel like i’m on the verge of breaking that and just collecting dolls #especially 80s/90s barbie’s i love them but also there are some super cool newer barbie’s i would be into owning #like the extra and fashion dolls are so cool #okay i think i’ve rambles enough #anyways always down to talk about dolls because my family rarely lets me infodump about them #rey actually speaks
