The byproduct of rewatching Star Wars Rebels because of Ahsoka while also binging Futurama.
Leela and Hera bonding over being pilots and the respective mom friends of their bizarro found families.
Bender getting into an argument with Chopper that quickly escalates into a barfight. In the process, Hermes somehow loses his manwich.
Fry geeking out over Ezra letting him hold his lightsaber only to accidentally nearly lose an eye. Thankfully, Kanan was there to save Fry before he got fully blinded.
Amy & Sabine prank a sleeping Farnsworth by spray-painting his glasses red and blue like those old 3D glasses. When the Professor wakes up, he thinks he's come down with three-dimensional syndrome.
Zeb forges an unexpected friendship with Zoidberg.
Kallus resists the urge to choke the life out of Zapp Brannigan and bonding with Kif over how Zapp is even this highly ranked for someone this stupid.
Hermes offering some comfort to Rex after hearing about the Clone Wars and Order 66.
It turns out that Nibbler is old friends with Ahsoka back when she was Anakin's Padawan. In addition, at least one Nibblonian served on the Jedi Order and even ascended to the High Council during the High Republic Era.

@mmollymercury​ Some Freela for the soul 💕
Tumblr media
Fry was usually a terrible secret-keeper. Hell, the entire crew couldn’t keep a secret (especially Zoidberg), so Leela was surprised to realise everyone had been in on the proposal. 
They arrived back at Planet Express, only to be met by their expectant, excited friends. Amy took one look at Leela’s ring and whooped in glee.
“Yes!” she screamed. “I knew it; I told you she’d say yes!”
“I needed reassurance!” Fry protested. “I was nervous, okay?”
Their friends had actually put together a celebratory dinner, complete with a cake. It was noticeably a birthday cake and Hermes wiped away the word ‘Birthday,’ with his thumb and a sheepish grin when Leela caught his eye. A little gross, but nothing compared to the way Zoidberg was drooling.
One member of the crew however, did not cheer or scramble to be the first to open the bottle of champagne: Bender.
“Oh I see how it is,” he said loudly, throwing his hands up. “You come here into my home-”
“This is the office,” Amy said.
“Making goo-goo eyes at my meatbag-”
“Say what?” Fry asked.
“And propose to him without my blessing!”
“Bender, I proposed!” Fry protested. “You knew I was going to! You literally helped me plan it! Remember, you brought me the transcript for the third proposal from All My Circuits?”
“Which you rejected,” Bender said snootily. He pointed at Leela accusingly. “You think you can just steal away my meatbag without permission? What is this, the Twentieth Century? We have integrity around here!”
“Hey!” (Fry’s cry of protest was once more ignored.)
“I didn’t even think Bender knew what integrity meant,” Cubert muttered. Hermes hushed him.
A part of Leela wanted to say that Bender was being his usual, dramatic self. He was just being a jerk and messing around. If Leela actually asked for his so-called blessing, he’d just laugh and chug the entire bottle of champagne to himself, and then they could all celebrate.
But at the same time...This was Bender. Bender, who would proudly proclaim “Kill all humans!” before glancing at Fry and quietly adding, “Except one.” Bender, who threw himself into a pit of lava to get Seymour’s fossil, upon realising he’d genuinely made Fry cry. 
During that fiasco with the mysterious music cracking the Earth (who knew Nibblonian hover-cars were so loud?) and Nixon snapped at Fry, “Your mother’s been dead for hundreds of years! Get over it!” Leela’s first, instinctive thought had been, I’m going to kill the President.
She told Bender and he’d looked at her like she was an idiot. “Well duh,” he drawled. “I thought the same thing.”
Then he planted a bomb in the President’s hover-car.
It turned out to be a glitter bomb, not a real bomb. Bender had been furious over the wasted money and equally furious over how quiet and withdrawn Fry had been.
So maybe it wasn’t entirely a joke.
Well, what did Leela have to lose? Dignity hardly mattered around here and she could live with Bender gloating.
With a small, weary sigh, she dropped to one knee. She even held both hands to her heart, giving Bender a pitiful stare.
Even Bender looked surprised. She’d relish that.
“Bender Bending Rodriguez,” Leela said in her best exaggerated tone of voice. “I hereby ask your blessing to marry Philip J. Fry, your meatbag.” Hey, Leela could be dramatic too.
For a moment, everyone was silent (bar Amy’s little giggle) and Bender continued to stare at her.
Then he sniffled.
“Bender, are you crying?” Fry asked in awe.
“No!” Bender snapped. “There’s just dust in my eye! What do I look like, Zoidberg?”
Indeed, Zoidberg was crying. 
But so was Bender.
“Aw, get up,” he grumbled, rubbing his neck and not quite looking at Leela. “Stupid human- er, mutant.”
Grinning, Leela got to her feet, linking her arm with Fry’s.
“...Okay, fine,” Bender said. He turned away, but Leela still saw him wipe his eyes and heard his voice crack. “I guess you’ll do.”

Ken: Does he not know?
Nibbler: He does not know.
Fiona: He knows not?
Nibbler: Knows not does he.
Nibblonian: Not he know--
Ken: Enough! Fry, it is my duty to inform you that the fate of humanity, the fate of our race, indeed the fate of all that exists and ever will exist rests with you. You are the single most important person in this universe.
Fry: Oh, snap!

So Nibbler from Futurama is an evil alien in Doctor Who? Now that’s interesting.

watching Fry be a messy 25 years-old barely adult with undiagnosed adhd and no work ambitions hits different when you're 25 too 😞

Eternium is located in the middle of the universe. It’s people, Nibblonians are proud race of one foot tall creatures with an extra eye that grows from a stalk in the center of their foreheads. They are widely considered to be the cutest race ever to exist.
The history of the Nibblonians extending 17 years before the Big Bang. Since the dawn of time this brilliant and powerful have battled their ancient nemesis - the Brain Spawn. When the Brain Spawn surfaced to attack Earth, the Nibblonians helped an Earthling fight them.
They have voracious appetites and Nibblonian feces consist of dark matter, which can be used as starship fuel. It is an extremely dense material, "each pound of which weighs over ten thousand pounds".
Source: “Futurama” (1999)
(CGI design above by Jared Krichevsky, with colors adjusted.)

Twixtmas Doctor Who binge
Decided to use the time between Christmas and New Year to go back over the Whittaker/Chibnall era, so far. So, some quick reactions:
Twice Upon A Time: Here for Whittaker completeness and, well, it’s Moffat being Moffat, isn’t it. Capaldi’s good, David Bradley’s good when he gets to play the First Doctor, not the weird compulsively sexist version of him that Moffat thinks is funny and Whittaker gets a good introduction in her first few moments on screen.
The Woman Who Fell To Earth: Very much a statement of intent for what’s to come as the Doctor literally drops into something that feels much more real than the series has for a decade. The new team form naturally as the new Doctor’s personality comes together.
The Ghost Monument: Come look at our location filming! A fun little chase over hostile terrain, but feels like we’re only scratching the surface of a much more interesting story of why the rally exists and who would choose to compete in it. Plus, we get the first mention of the Timeless Child, and seeing it now, the references to what gets revealed aren’t that subtle.
Rosa: Still feels like one of the all-time best the series has done. A new style for a historical, but jumping back to the original aim of them being educational, and willing to confront the realities of racism.
Arachnids in the UK: I’d forgotten how funny this one is, and sometimes you need an episode that’s just a fun romp. Pretty sure this is the major launch point for Thasmin shippers too.
The Tsuranga Conundrum: Doctor Who and the We’d Call It An Evil Nibblonian, But Futurama’s Lawyers Are Watching. It’s not bad, but it feels lie it could have been done at almost any point in the last 50-odd years.
Demons Of The Punjab: This series hits its heights on the historicals, doesn’t it? The Thijarians have a bit of the Moffat-era alien to them in making everyone think they’re evil by describing a benign mission in purely ominous terms, but they’re just the obligatory alien presence to make this a Doctor Who story, really.
Kerblam!: Amazon’s evil! Automated systems can go bad an have no regard for humanity! It’s easy for individuals to get lost in robotic and monotonous jobs! All of these, and more, get rejected in favour of “aren’t disgruntled employees who get a bit political bad?” 
More soon...
