I'm so sorry to say this but Londo sounds like Gru.... 🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸

wow i hadn’t thought of this in years but i do in fact remember sitting in a theater in 2010, watching despicable me with a friend because we were both home from college at the time and wanted to turn our brains off with a cute kids movie, thinking “hmm why does that goofy accent sound sort of familiar…OH NOOOOOO”

The premise for Star Trek Discovery is so funny, like imagine if a viking longship showed up today and then fixed global warming and undid Brexit

raise your hand if you have ever been personally devastated by the hot priest saying 'it'll pass'

In the Star Trek verse people in college absolutely go through annoying alien philosophy phases & if they're pretentious it'll be three weeks of endless quoting of Surak & if they're a gym guy or whatever the communist utopia version of a business guy is it'll be three weeks of talking about "Kahless' Code of Honor", but instead of reading actual books about Kahless they read some book called like Wisdom of Kahless: Unforgettable Advice to Fuel Your Road to Success & it culminates when they replicate a shitty bat'leth pattern made by a fifteen year old Klingaboo online & it breaks apart when they use it once

like i know there are a lot of fics out there where other vulcans are all “oh man, jim kirk’s so freakin HOT how’d spock get in his pants” but IF ANYTHING it’s actually the reverse. spock shows up on vulcan one day with Jim on his arm and all the other vulcans are OUTRAGED. They’ve spent years mooning (logically) over spock’s flaxen bowl cut. his dark eyes. his slightly lax emotional control that gives him just a hint of the “bad boy” vibe that we all know vulcans secretly go wild for. Sarek receives like a thousand bonding proposals a year from VSA graduates who all have google alerts set to notify them when spock gets a new xeniobiology article published. and then they find out. that the object of their (totally logical) affections. had the equivalent of a las vegas wedding with the human captain of his starfleet ship while in the middle of a five year mission. vulcans may be too logical to riot but on that day, a good many vulcans had to meditate for an extra hour or two just to contain their rage

The funniest bit about Spock running off to join Starfleet as a "fuck you dad" moment is that there's no way Starfleet was happy about it either. Spock's family is extremely important, T'Pau wields massive influence, Sarek is the Ambassador, ect.

So Starfleet is in this horrible position where they can't say no to this extremely competent and well-connected Vulcan joining up, but it also causes a massive diplomatic headache because his whole family resents it. And then if anything were to happen to him? Major diplomatic incident.

Good thing he's level headed and never throws himself headlong into needless danger---what's that? He's completely unhinged? Oh, well, nevertheless

Babylon 5 characters as cheeses

OK, I love this question.

Let's start with Delenn. She's halfway between one thing and another. She's strong, powerful, unifying. She may look superficially weak and squishy, but she can dominate a room (/cheeseboard). Delenn is Cambozola, a delicious hybrid of gorgonzola and camembert. I see the Minbari as more of a camembert and the humans as more of a gorgonzola, but you know, I'm open to dissenting opinions on that.

For Londo I needed a cheese that would look stunning in purple. He's all about tradition, so it needed to be a cheese with a solid history, under a DOP. My suggestion is Époisses, a cheese that dates back to the early 16th century. It's a rich, soft, stinky cheese with a rind that is washed in brandy. This just feels so profoundly like Londo in cheese form that I'm not actually sure I can justify the choice sufficiently. I'm just going to have to trust that you see my vision.

One of the many things that I utterly love about G'Kar is the way we see his character evolve. When we first meet him, he seems a bit silly and a bit petty; not the kind of person to take seriously. But under pressure, it turns out, he rises to the occasion and proves to be unbreakable. G'Kar, therefore, is a squeaky cheese that can handle a lot of heat. G'Kar is halloumi.

To me the core of Sheridan's character is that he doesn't really fit in the position he's been placed in. He's a hotshot military commander who has had diplomacy forced upon him. He's not a cheese that's a natural fit alongside all the other cheeses. But when he's in his element, Sheridan is unbeatable. Sheridan is mozzarella.

For Sinclair, I wanted something smooth and subtle. There's a pyramid-shaped goat's cheese called Pouligny Saint Pierre that's has flavours of nuts, hay and herbs, which has exactly the combination of strength and subtlety that I associate with Sinclair. Also, it only comes in 250g servings, so - just like Sinclair - you never get quite enough of it.

Marcus is the most English Englishman to ever be several generations removed from England, so he could only be a cheddar. Specifically, Wookey Hole cheddar, which is matured underground in the Wookey Hole caves in the Mendip Hills near Glastonbury. Also buried under Glastonbury - allegedly - is King Arthur. Marcus would love to be associated with this specific cheese and you can't tell me otherwise.

I would love to provide a Russian cheese for Ivanova but Russia is just not really a notable cheesemaking country. So instead I suggest a Lancashire bomb, a strong, creamy ball-shaped cheese that's wrapped in black wax so it literally looks like a bomb. Put a Lancashire bomb on your cheeseboard and no one is going to be looking at anything else. It also has a tanginess that feels very much like the cheese expression of Ivanova's dry humour.

One of the trickier people on this list was Garibaldi. He's fast-talking, divisive, a man of the people. He beats up criminals and he loves cartoons. None of this says cheese to you? Well, my suggestion is Wensleydale, a distinctive crumbly Yorkshire cheese that was saved from near-extinction after it was featured in Wallace and Gromit. (This is the weakest of my suggestions, but sometimes I fear we have to accept that a sci-fi character is not a cheese. Alternative ideas welcomed.)

When I first started watching Babylon 5, I called Franklin Dr Handsome, and despite all that he goes through - the wars, the stim addiction - it still feels like being a handsome, charming and generally good guy is at the core of his character. He's been through a lot but he's come through it, if not unchanged, then none the worse for it. I suggest smoked applewood, a cheese that's sweet, smoky, and always popular.

And finally, Lennier spent most of his life before Babylon 5 in a monastery, so we need a monastic cheese. My choice here is Tête de Moine - which translates literally as "monk's head" - a Swiss cheese that dates back eight centuries. It's not supposed to be cut but pared with a girolle, or cheese curler. I don't know that there's anything more Minbari than a cheese that comes with a ritual for how you're supposed to eat it.
