💫ASTRA THE STAR💫 A Sonic OC I made the other day!! She initially was an attempt at "modernizing" my very first Sonic OC, but she took on a very distinct identity, so she's her own thing. The idea is that she's an alien sort of species opposite of the Black Doom- I don't really have much about it but I'm coming up with some stuff that I think is fun.
btw her design is a little inconsistent here and there because I was solidifying things as I was going :V anyway if people like her enough I might post more about her and my Sonic "au" I have in my brain

⚠️Gore Warning

do you guys remember that one bit of ad astra where ford and mabel were in that living heart and she had to like slice her braces apart to stop her from being dragged away from this monster and so for the rest of the chapter her face was aggressively bleeding including when she had to ask those needle aliens to help her keep ford alive?
yeah, this is that.

Eugenics and genetic modification are not the same thing. The terms are not interchangeable. Eugenics is the practice of erasing perceived ‘undesirable’ traits in the gene pool. It is motivated by racism and ableism and is horrific. Genetic modification is one possible tool that eugenicist could use to achieve that end. Another tool which has actually been used by eugenicists to advance their awful goal is compulsory sterilization. This is also horrific and recognized as such - compulsory sterilization is a Crime Against Humanity in the Rome Statute. However, sterilization procedures such as tube tying and vasectomies are not practices that people generally call for to be banned, because people may want to prevent themselves from getting pregnant or from getting another person pregnant for all sorts of reasons and we recognized that people should have autonomy over their own bodies and be free to make their own reproductive choices. Consensual vasectomies and tube tying being legal in a country does not mean that country is endorsing eugenics. A country in which there is a government program of coercing or using incentives to get members groups perceived as undesirable to have their tubes tied or have vasectomies is practicing eugenics. The legality and use of tool in general does not necessarily mean that the tool is being used for eugenics. Now, let’s take that one step further with a hypothetical on genetic engineering. Imagine that we determine that if one gene was removed from the human genome, those without that gene would no longer get dementia and there were zero other impacts. Would a country that made that genetic modification procedure available for free to everyone who wanted it and the doctors performing that procedure be practicing eugenics? Now imagine that procedure didn’t work in adults or even children. It had to be administered during fetal development to be effective. Would a parent choosing to have that gene removed from their unborn child so they would never get dementia be practicing eugenics? I'm not going to weigh in on those my point is that it’s a complex issue, there are very flew easy answers available and you really have to consider motive. Eugenicists are motivated by the view that certain people are superior and other people are inferior and they want to get rid of the latter.
Applying it to Strange New Worlds, Una has specifically stated that the Illyrian motivation for genetic modification is so that they fit in with their environment, rather than terraform (this intersects another really interesting scientific ethical discussion happening around climate engineering and the potential consequences). There is no evidence in canon that Illyrians are motivated by the need to be superior or are getting rid of undesired traits. They took up modification to live on planets that would otherwise be unhospitable to them (beta canon is that their home world is no longer inhabitable even with modification due to environmental collapse outside of their control, they’re essentially environmental refugees). While Illyrians modify themselves genetically, there is no evidence that Illyrians are practicing eugenics. In the context of DS9, Bashir’s parents believed it was undesirable to have a son with intellectual disabilities. They modified him to get rid the trait they perceived as undesirable. They were practicing eugenics. In Star Trek canon, billions of people died during the Eugenics Wars. When it comes to the law, it is incredibly difficult determining motive and therefore it is understandable that they banned genetic engineering as a way of stopping eugenicists and preventing a repeat. But in doing so, they accidentally created a legal regime in which entire families could be arrested.   The point Star Trek has been making lately with the Illyrian storyline is sometimes shit is complicated, and that a law that is meant to protect, can also sometimes harm and we need to be able to listen, think and consider complex situations. And I also hate myself a bit for writing this. I should just be able to ignore all the terrible takes and ‘I haven’t watched but…’ people.

heyo, I wanted to ask if you perhaps have a Bluesky, Sheezy, and/or Mastodon account that you're using? I love Astra's design and would love to draw her, but I don't want to post any new art on Tumblr due to the AI scraping that has already begun
Coincidentally, I made a Bluesky very recently, which is not unrelated to the AI shenanigans that have been happening. Here's the link: https://bsky.app/profile/kryptiqkreachur.bsky.social And also please tag me when you do draw Astra!! I'm so happy that she's gotten such kind responses ;; If you need more references, I made a tag for her which is #Astra The Star!

Godzilla and Mothra: *married*
Godzilla and Mothra: *planning to start a family*
The results:
Tumblr media
Thank the Great Dagon for delivering this egg safe and sound. Mothra is exhausted but she's fine, and Godzilla is tending his open wounds from Mothra's sharp limbs.
Mothra Astra, but she's inside the egg. Godzilla took extra guards temporarily cuz this is so PRECIOUS for him and Mothra. Dadzilla and Momthra vibes.
