The table never existed in this story before, Betty and Veronica have knees pretty far down their legs, and Mimsy had a hair color change.

September 6, 2024:

The setting is the real star in this one: a generational starship of people inside a spacefaring beast! It tackles a lot of Today problems through this post-Earth lens:

Environmental issues: their new beast is sick and dying already

Gender inequality: their matriarchal society has just started allowing men to have important jobs

Class inequality: society is stratified based on what body parts of the beast a person's job is to maintain

Social power: there is a ruling class who will conserve the status quo at the expense of all else, including their host

There are two main characters whose perspectives swap out between chapters, and I appreciate that one is a working class prodigy who finds she still has privileges to lose, and the other is a clueless and selfish aristocrat who has decent ideas but abysmal implementation.

All of it however takes a backseat to the reader's joy that they're all Osmosis Jonesing through the cosmos inside a tentacle space dragon, fuck yeah!

"Evidence that Pokémon once familiar to us have been spotted in the various dimensions linked together by Ultra Space, in the same way that Ultra Beasts have been spotted in our own dimension. Upon falling through an Ultra Wormhole, these Pokemon become bathed in a strange energy that seems to facilitate rapid changes and adaptations needed to survive in their new environments, among other speculated effects. We have dubbed them "dimensional forms," though internally we use the code name "ultra variant," or "UV" for short."

-Aether Report excerpt

It seems that when exposed to the bizarre lands of Ultra Space, Eevee's evolutions take on new forms. I wonder what other strange forms we have yet to see! More info coming soon!

*More detailed lore later, but as a brief explanation on each one's inspirations:

-Vaporeon: polluted water, plastic debris and its impact on animals, mutations, oil and water don't mix

-Jolteon: overcharged long boi, they run through the skies and leave lightning trails behind them

-Flareon: explosive smoke cloud and shrapnel

-Umbreon: black holes and new moons because of Ultra Megalopolis's darkness theme

-Espeon: wise and (slightly) wrinkly sphynx cat with a 3rd eye

-Leafeon: bulky and ferocious tiger, stripes inspired by beta Leafeon

-Glaceon: bleached coral and asymmetry

-Sylveon: shinto shrine maidens and shide (zigzag paper streamers)

Learning about the Doctor Who specials' expanded budget: oh no, what if they overuse CGI to look more 'professional' and high-budget?

The first scene of the Doctor Who Special:

[goryhorroor]

“1950s horror movies contrast radically with their 1940s predecessors. understandably – they were reflecting a whole new world. audiences wanted stories that connected directly to their lives, to the ever-expanding technology in their homes and workplaces. they also wanted horror movies that played to their fears – stoked by politicians – of the shadows that lay beyond their immediate, personal experience of the shiny american dream (applies to some of these movies).”

today I am missing the thirteenth doctor and her ‘no gender only weird little guy’ vibes. she’s not good at letting stuff go she’s good at eating dirt and hiding things from her friends. she’s not a woman she’s four raccoons in a sky blue trench coat with the most compellingly autistic personality ever seen in an alien. she’s a disaster but she’s my disaster.

Beast the One, the Space Beast opponent of Ultraman in the film Ultraman: The Next (2004). This is before Beast has absorbed a murder of crows and grown wings to fly.

Danny was tired. Tucker and Sam had drifted away over the duration of high school. The ghost attacks and danger had been the main factor that started the dissipation of their friendship. Jazz had left for college a while ago leaving him to deal with his parents alone. He had eventually created his own secret base and left the house permanently even if it was technically illegal at 16. No one noticed since he still went to school.

Including being a teen hero who wasn’t appreciated in Amity just was the icing on the cake. After receiving approval from clockwork and mastering his portal abilities, he closed the portal down. It wasn’t easy to do but he made sure everyone was out of the blast range when it shut down. The Fenton house was gone but it hadn’t been home for quite some time.

It was because he was so tired that he was where he was. Drifting out of Earth’s atmosphere, Danny let himself luxuriate in the feeling of space. It made his core hum pleasantly. He moved to a good spot still in Earth’s gravity and curled up and just let himself drift along in a haze. He toned down his glow and his body started to slowly fade into the space around him till he was practically invisible.

He floated in this haze for probably a week, slowly recuperating and feeling himself slowly change. There was no one to miss him for any length of time and he wasn’t worried about his human life at all. Honestly he probably would have drifted longer but something woke him up. Some guy yelling about conquering Earth or something.

Annoyed at being woken up by a fruitloop Danny allowed his form to grow with the power of space he collected and snarled out a “Oy fruitloop! I was woken up because of you! Shut up already!” and smacked him into the sun with a giant hand. Turning his ire on the army with the fruitloop he quickly sent them flying with a blast of power. It would take them many years to gather up again with how hard he sent them flying.

Huffing, he turned and glanced at the group of people left. Shrinking down he spoke and gestures wildly. “I was taking the best nap of my afterlife and was woken up by those pests. You gotta better place I can nap?”

Luckily someone was quick to let him know they had a place. He was guided to a space station soon after and was soon sleeping on the comfiest bed ever.

Due to miscommunication and rumors transformers are led to believe that humans are the descendants of voracious unbeatable metal eaters who could consume a whole bot in an hour.

This doesn't change as much as you think it would but enough to alter events.

--------------------------------------------------

Tired AF Sam after defeating Megatron : Uggggh I really need to eat.

Optimus dying a little inside: I see.... enjoy yourself.......

--------------------------------------------------

*when Mirage & Noah first met*

Mirage: Oh my God please don't eat me bro. I promise you I'm not tasty.

Noah: (The fuck) I won't???

Mirage: Thank the allspark I'm too young to die yet.

Noah: ??????

Bee: (⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠;⁠) ......

This is purely crack and I wanted more content on humans being scary to the bots.
