reminding everyone that one of my Favourite seasons Starstruck Odyssey opened with SO much catastrophic failure, and we didn't get stuff like the Sheriff nat 20 intimidate check until like 8/9 and Operation slippery puppet was like ep 13. So everyone just HOLD FAST during fhjy😭
the Worse it is now, the more satisfying the pay off will be, so we all just gotta live in pain for a bit😭

i know its been 2 years since a starstruck odyssey ended but i need to talk about gunnie miggles rashbax again because like, he's The character of all time, do you know how hard it is to be the optimist? especially when life keeps kicking you down? and yet he persisted!! even with his 750k dept, even with his cyborg body, even with nothing to his name not even a bed to sleep in, he truly believed from day one that everything will be okay, that one day his luck will turn around, and all it took was for a group of friends, nay, a found family, to believe in him
i keep thinking about this scene
when he was talking to his professor after his luck turned around, he was telling her that now, after proving his family wrong after proving that he was right all along to leave the academia life and go on to become a spacer, now he can finally call them again, he can show his face again, he can come home, now that he was right he can come home. and there is something so deeply relatable about that, about going against everyone's expectations completely into the darkness of space, with the belief that despite what everyone thinks, you are going to be okay.

“I think I want to be able to want something without needing somebody else to want it too… and without thinking of a practical reason…. but I wanna be able to want an ice cream cone.” - Sundry Sydney, Starstruck Odyssey

she’s so cool & she’s such a bitch, my favourite genre of woman
final @d20zinejam post from this year for Cosmic Chic a stody fashion zine run by @smallestbrown
[Image Description: A simple pinup of Margaret Encino on a plain blue background. She’s lying backwards with her head propped up on her hand, holding a pink landline phone receiver in the other. She wears a dark grey pair of wide legged trousers, an unbuttoned white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a dark grey bralette with a pattern of pink snakes. Several rings of simple planets and stars are drawn around her in a matching pink. End ID.]

I'm rewatching Starstruck in the break, can I say I DESPERATELY would have loved to have seen this intergalactic chase across the stars from the Other Side😭
Like okay, campaign where you're a crew of kooky spacers on the run, classic, fun, oh the adventures we had.., can you Imagine what this story would have been like from the pursuers side? From Lucienne and UFTP?
You're Lucienne and you just got SCREWED on the corporate ladder and are already dealing with some rich trust fund kid DYING yet also leaving you in Charge of an insane company.
And during that you find out oh my god the world might be destroyed?? And there's a Princeps who has a super special computer that will decide the fate of the universe? So you stash them away to keep them safe and go back to covering up the murder you might be to blame for, because universe destroying computer is like priority TWO right now.
And then you find out?? Your ex lover friend has become a pirate???! And has STOLEN the princeps??! AND THE WORLD ENDING COMPUTER??! And quit??! And posted Nudes to the world??! And they look amazing?
So okay okay new priority is FIND THEM right NOW so you send all the resources in the world to go snatch them up which should be easy enough because you've seen them run, they're literally a weak and flailing office worker in a pencil skirt.
Welp! Next report comes in and they exploded a building with sex putty??? And decimated a fleet of the best fighters you can hire? And had time to go to a dogshow in between???
Fine, okay, it's fine because you KNOW they'll slip up again and they do! They show up,,., in a live stream? Partying with the ceo of space uber?? In a casino? That they just OPENED? WHILE THEY'RE ON THE RUN?!
So you go to that planet and go to contact the sheriff and his Head is on a Fucking Spike because your Friend absolutely wasted him? And kicked every police officer out of town so the whole town could go super super hard for space burning man?
And have escaped Again.
So now you're in some kind of room with like 20 screens and probably two blackberries in each hand, going full manhunt. Face recognition software, algorithms, zooming in on photos and yelling Enhance.
And you find them! And they👏 are👏 at👏 Disneyland👏! What! The! Fuck!
You send your best guys again! (And also??! These 'best guys' maybe have a space slug in their skull that's going to end the world! Can't even focus on that rn!). And then when they get back, happy and proud they show you the Princeps that they've captured and it's god damned thin air! Because it was a hologram and this dumb sonuva bitch is zonked out of his mind from a fish psychic. Great, of course. Of Course.
You're being hounded by your company, you still don't know where your 'dead fiance' is, you're running out of time. How are you ever going to find them- You check your phone they are doing a hunger games at Las Vegas. And a rival company has made them influencers. And they're famous.
Of course.
But you do pull it off in the end! You get them! You imprison them! And their one fatal flaw? They decided to reunite one of their crew members with their birth mother while being wanted criminals.
So that's the chase you got them (they escape again of course they escape, and the birth mother turns out to be a Hell of a business woman and maybe just did a masterful corporate maneuver on you.)
And it's so important to know that this entire time you've been chasing a Big Hot Dog.
