One particular episode of Star Trek: TOS extended all the way into the Purge franchise -- dystopian films about our collective inhumanity that are about as far from the positive future of Star Trek as the dark side of the moon.

The episode in question is Star Trek Season 1, Episode 22, “The Return of the Archons.” According to These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, it was one of the three script pitches Gene Roddenberry used to sell Star Trek in the first place. It dealt with what have now become classic Trek dilemmas – violation of the Prime Directive and the dangers of artificial intelligence – combined with a meditation on the power of the unthinking mob.

My friend, can I make this even more depressing for you?

I got the chance to meet Bruce Boxleitner a few weeks ago at my local convention. He had gone through so many conversations about Tron, and then here comes me, a 16-year-old science fiction nerd who would love nothing more than to talk to the hero of their 9-year-old self and one-half of the relationship that taught them what love was. Right?

I started talking to him about his relationship with Mira. They were also incredibly close on set, and he had a very strong relationship with her. He told me, and I quote, "Losing her was almost like actually losing my significant other. It was powerful. I still try to honor her as best I can." And I just think that's so beautiful, and just emphasizes how GENUINE their love for each other was, both on-screen and behind the scenes.

You’ve seen him and Delenn together, right? Now that’s true love, my friend. You don’t see that very often.

LANYON LORE TIME (YIPEEE)

I wanted to post some lanyon Lore for my Medieval Au because he's probably the most different to Canon-Lanyon. Jekyll/hyde stay pretty much the same, and they don't need much explanation, however lanyon does. so here it is.

EARLY LANYON

Growing up as a prince, meant that Lanyon was constricted to many duties and couldn't really live a normal life as a kid, this caused him to build up much resentment towards his father and in turn, made him a very reckless and rule-breaking, rebellious teenager. His name like Tgs (and novella) is also Hastie. Its very common for medieval royalty to pass down names [eg. Henry VIII] So robert would've been 'Hastie II' however little Babyon wanted to be nothing like his father and started going by 'Robert'. Lanyon never wanted to be King. Ever. He holds contemptment for his Royal duties and often dreams of running away from it all (but ever since a certain someone entered his life, he's found it awfully hard to leave...)

YOUNG-ADULT LANYON [PRE-HENRY]

Due to his rebellious nature, Young Lanyon would often end up sneaking out late at night go to the local pub, and let loose. He often wears a cloak so others don't recognise him. Lanyon likes to get very drunk and forget about all his responsibilities, (he's not one bit responsible) His Father disapproves and often reminds Lanyon that he is a 'disappointment to his family' (FUN!! SELF HATE?? ikr??) SO to address, Tgs Lanyon's playboi era, that doesn't really happen here, IN the Au as a part of finding his own freedom, he sleeps around alot, and has multiple one night stands but those involve both parties not expecting any strings attached. Lanyon still gets to be a slut but he also isn't a massive dick. He can also play the fiddle, he secretly enjoys this (but shh don't let his father know) and occasionally brings it to the pub. I headcanon that Lanyon has a really nice Singing voice, so in this Au Lanyon can sing, but he gets very embarrassed about it and never does it in public (unless incredibly drunk)

PRESENT LANYON

Present lanyon in the Au is in his early 20's (same with Jekyll) As part of His Duties as Prince, he must also be Knight and Fight in battles, this entail lots of training, Lanyon's been training since a young age, but ever sine Jekyll arrived, he always watches him practice so he can 'observe how to defend himself' and definitely NOT to see his cute crush/bff wear dashing armour, no.... Lanyon actually doesn't mind being a Knight that much but he doesn't Like Violence all that much and thinks there are better ways at solving disputes, however this does not mean he won't try to kill you if you threaten those dear to him (you can guess who)

In the AU, Robert is a bit more awkward around Henry, as they both are enamoured and always in Gay panic mode around each other, so there dynamic is a bit more 'cute' per-se compared to Tgs where Lanyon is Dom and Jekyll is Flustered mess. Lanyon gets to be a bit more a flustered mess in this Au too.

Yes, I know it's been a while, but no, the Au is not dead. I am going to do things with it I just haven't had a lot of time. Anyway thanks for reading, it means alot to me that people care about this, as always; if you have no idea what 'Au' I'm yapping about go to the Og post here (wow its kinda old... oooh old art) ...I think I'll do one of these with Frankenstein.

[marzipanandminutiae]

you know, the Horrible Histories "Victorian names were WEIRD!!!!" skit leaves out some important info on some of the names (assisted by Ancestry.com searches):

Lettice Berger: "Lettice" was an anglicization of the Roman name "Leticia." Berger is just a normal German surname. Yes, they had the word "lettuce," and I'm sure the similarities occurred to them. But nobody named their child "lettuce" like the vegetable.

O.K. Johnson: Probably just the kid's initials. "O.K." as a slang term was invented in 1830s Boston, but without any evidence of when little O.K. lived (they don't cite any sourced for these names, how convenient), it's impossible to tell whether it would have crossed the pond by the time he was born.

Never [they pronounce the surname Rookrook]: I found a LOT of Nevers in the UK with Indian surnames. So uh. There's that. And a lot of census records online seem to have notes written by the census-taker mislabeled as names- "never opens door" was one I noticed. Just saying. I also found multiple "NEVA Rook" census entries- which probably would have been pronounced "NEE-vah" but sounds like "Never" with a British accent if you tilt your head and squint.

Toilet: Surprisingly common modern misreading of "Violet" on 19th-century censuses with bad handwriting.

Baboon: Found one census where it's a misreading of "Barbara;" others were non-Anglo names like Baban, Babyon, Babboni, etc.

Susan Semolina-Thrower: That's just two unfortuate surnames, I'm guessing? I can't find their sources, again, but I do find a lot of records of "Semolina" as a surname in the UK during the 19th century. The poor parents had no control over that, did they?

Happy: ...yeah, it's a virtue name. And? How is that weirder than Faith, Hope, Grace, Patience, Prudence, etc?

Evil: Another census misreading- usually "Evie."

Minty Badger: "Minty" is short for Araminta/Aminta/Arminta. Still sounds like a Discworld character, but nothing would sound normal with "Badger" as a surname. Araminta Badger at least makes more sense to modern ears, though.

Freezer Breezer: Breezer was a real surname, and parents can be cruel. I don't doubt that- my dad went to school with an "Emily Memily." that being said...I did find a "Fred R. Breezer" born in 1873 in England; see above re: census misreadings. Just throwing that out there. I found it as a corruption/misspelling of "Fraser/Frasier" too.

Scary Looker: I actually found this one. It was a misreading of "Jeany" on a census- the girl's name was Jane Looker, born 1841 in Lancashire to John and Elizabeth Looker. Nice research there, team.

Farting Clack: Fasting Clack or Clark, born 1863 in London. Another lovely misreading from the census. True "Fasting Clark" is not NOT a weird name, but it's a lot less horrible than "Farting Clack" and it makes sense under the Hyper-Christian Parents category.

Princess Cheese was real, not a nickname, and not a misreading or misspelling. Princess May Cheese was born in 1896 in West Bromwich. She married one John T. Brookes in 1914- possibly eager to no longer be a Cheese?

Multiple people really have been christened Bovril, most notably one Bovril Simpson, married in West Ham in 1911.

Incredibly, Raspberry/Rasberry/Roseberry is a real given name, and Lemon a real surname. Most people named Raspberry seem to have been men.

So that's only three of their Wacky Victorian Names that are actually 100% real. Nice job, there, team. I love Ghosts, but get your collective act together!

(They did once have a skit insisting that Victorians called trousers "the southern necessity" when that's actually a phrase from the writings of famously terrible 19th-century author Amanda McKittrick Ros, whose work her contemporaries loved poking fun at. So I shouldn't be surprised)

Kino had a baby

On the evening of April 13th, Kino finally gave birth after being pregnant a whole ass year. Thankfully, they did find a solution on that whole “where would an alien give birth”, which is, they did in Lilah’s apartment, assisted by a midwife. This is fine, Lilah threw an amnesia spell at them. Is such a spell unethical? I mean...yeah, it is but...Yeah...

Anyway, a few days later, as they were starting to feel better, Kino went back to the apartment with their new baby. Which, thank god their girlfriend is a shapeshifter, that excuse was gonna do a lot of heavy lifting considering the child was blue, had black schlera, and had pointy ears...Because of fucking course they had inherited none of Lilah’s earthling traits. And the technology to build a human form is on Kino’s home planet, so that is not really an option either. Though the alien will never forget the poor midwife face when the baby came out looking like they were deprived of oxygen, and unable to tell if they were a boy or a girl. Cause you know, it’s one thing to have an intersex child, it’s another one to have a stillborn.

Charlie: Awww, they’re so cute. So, what’s the name? I know just yesterday you still hadn’t made a decision. Kino: Well, first of all, Lilah and I have decided to raise the baby like a human boy for simplicity sake, but who knows maybe one day he’ll want to be something else, so you can just say he. Second, I have manage to convince her to give him a Sixamese name. I’m a bit worried Earthlings will think it is weird, but he, there’s thousands of culture on both Earth and Sixam who all use wildly different name. Also, the meaning is so lovely, it means beloved friend in my first language. Charlie: Ok, so what is it then? Kino: Joseph.

Charlie started to laugh, assuming this long introduction was a set-up to that very normal reveal, but no, Kino was dead serious. Joseph means beloved friend in their first language, and is even mildly common in their native country back in Sixam. Now how they managed to live several years on Earth and never come across anyone named Joseph, especially in a part of the world where it is a common name, that’s another story.

Dawud: Hey, can we see the baby? Kino: Of course, here he is, my son, Joseph Gurafee-Silvercloud. Daniele: But why does he have to sleep next to my bed? I’ll be the one constantly woken up at night when it’s you who couldn’t be arsed to wear a condom. Dawud: Dan, we are five people in a tiny bedroom, everyone will be woken up if he starts crying in the middle of the night.

And then, when everyone was done with looking at little Joseph, Akva came back from work. Just like everyone else, she went to see the baby...Yup, that is a newborn all right. All wrinly and small and you’re not too sure if he’s really that cute or not. A baby. That is when it hit her...

Akva: I’m going for a walk. Charlie: It’s like 11 pm? Akva: Mind your business.

Outside the apartment, a weird sort of sadness came over Akva, one she did not want to admit she was feeling. It’s been almost two years, and in those two years she had been acting as if nothing was, but now, well...Life had changed, her situation was different. The semester was ending in two weeks, that was the perfect time for her to go on a little vacation in California.

After avoiding it for so long, it was time, she had to visit Paisley.

📁 Stephen Franklin and/or Michael Garibaldi

(Send me a 📂 and I’ll share a random useless headcanon)

These go together.

Franklin never had a family (I assume, because we don’t see one in Sleeping in Light). He had a few ladyloves, but he couldn’t pull himself out of his work enough to make a life with any of them and regrets it a little. He’s honestly a little envious that Garibaldi managed to make time for a family. Which is why Franklin is “Uncle Stephen” to Garibaldi’s daughter. I imagine Franklin “adopted” a few of his friends’ kids along the way.

Which leads us to��

Garibaldi is very, very honest with Mary about his past with addiction, because he sees a lot of himself in her and doesn’t want her to go down that road. It’s something Garibaldi and Franklin talk about often because they’ve both struggled there.

Garibaldi makes bagna cauda for Mary on her birthday every year. He probably had to conduct business on Babyon 5 a few times and took her with him. He showed her all the nooks and crannies of the station and told her all the tales. He taught her how to handle herself and how to defend herself. Basically he took to family life with all the zeal he put into being a security chief and taking over Edgars Industries because when Michael Garibaldi decides he’s going to be good at something, darn it, he becomes good at it. And he knows very well he almost didn’t get this chance. He’s not about to waste it.

Inteligence vs Love

God is not mocked. I interface with lots of "intelligent" people in my job: executives, doctors, lawyers, CEOs, etc.. But intelligence without LOVE is VAIN - useless and empty. Your intelligence is a gift from God to PARTNER with God, submit to God's Spirit and God's Wisdom so that God's LOVE can get through from heaven to their needy lives ALL THE MORE.

We are literally saved. but not taken immediately to heaven. so that we can be intimate allies HERE AND NOW, on Earth. We have a purpose / task / mission / assignment / opportunity to be about our Father's will here on Earth, still. We are here so that God's will gets more done, through us as His ambassadors and messengers and vessels. We are here to place all of us in service to Kingdom Expansion Agendas.

Remember that Lucifer was the most intelligent created being of all. Intelligence without love is easily subverted into PRIDE, into being opportunistic, antisocial, arrogant, and predatory. You are not judged by your IQ before the Most High God; you are judged by how much of ALL of you, you used to LOVE and BLESS and SERVE other humans.

God created them; let God decide who is "worthy" and who is not, of love. God loves the Unlovely. The broken and weak. This disadvantaged. The widow and orphan - those who cannot take care of themselves and are economically disadvantaged.

A Babyon-oriented world worships intelligence and status and power. But heaven is already overflowing with more than enough power; instead heaven is looking for how much of God's love you allow through your life to get to others in tangible ways.

And IF YOU WANT A PLACE WITH GOD, you're better learn to do the same. I say this for your blessing and wise choice-making. God looks at the Heart and God is not impressed with any intelligence HE GAVE YOU in the first place to use to love all the more effectively.

Stop rationalizing, distorting, and status-mongering, seeking to stroke your ego. The foundation of All of Father God's laws is the Royal Law of Agape Love. This is God's actual standard right here:

"And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might." - Deuteronomy 6:5

Charisma House - Abyology

An other apology in true youtuber fashion. Posted on the 24th of January because of there being no new drama track on that day.

TL note:

Babyon, pronounced as ba-byon. A buzzword used in commercial from 2009 by mobile provider company au or au by KDDI. I’m assuming by what I was able to dig up, it has similar connotations to ガビーン (’oh no!’), but more in the ‘gasp!’ or ‘wow!’ sense. Basically expressing surprise, it’s hard to explain it since it’s pretty much a buzzword? But I hope it makes sense.

Abyology is written as such because of the byon part in “お詫びょん”.

Iori: Haah…how unfortunate. Looks like there’s no new drama track today

Terra: AGAIN!? Aren’t you all slacking!!?

Terra: Put more effort into this dammit!

Iori: We’re truly sorry to everyone that had been looking forward to it

Iori: Please wait a little longer until the next release.

Terra: Sorry for all this. C’mon everyone apologize properly

Fumiya: Eh?

Terra: An apology! Apologize to everyone that had been waiting for us!

Fumiya: Okay.

Fumiya: Babyoooon

Terra: Are you making fun of them!? I said properly!

Iori: Everyone else too! Give an apology!

Sarukawa: One two

Sarukawa, Amahiko & Ohse: Babyoooon

Iori: What the hell! Apologize properly!!!

Amahiko: My apologies for messing around. Let’s all apologize properly to conclude this.

Amahiko: One two

Everyone: Babyooooon

Ohse: And together with everyone that’s watching

Ohse: One two

Everyone: Babyooooon

(Everyone laughing)

Everyone: See you next time!
