Just awoke from a dream where I tried to explain kinning to my Mum using a mascot for a flavoured iced tea brand called the 'Hai-Chi lychee'. It had a theme song. That theme-song (for, I cannot stress this enough, a FAKE ICE TEA brand) is stuck in my head.

We'd even looked up the definition of fan fiction to use as a jumping off point, and I found some plush toys of the Hai-Chi lychee stufed into bottles to use as props.

Dream me kins the Hai-Chi lychee.

lol this is an area of science i am. not familiar with. but if a ship hitting a planet while travelling in hyperspace would kill everyone on the planet... i think we might just have pretend that can't happen in SW because it would render the death star completely obsolete. and without the death star would it even be star wars

I KNOW I KNOW but also, lbr, the idea of the evil empire spending twenty fucking years designing a planet killing super weapon that could be substituted for by one (1) totally normal average ship with the hyperspace navigation safety control turned off is....extremely funny. very on brand of fascist empires. I have to assume the gffa hyperspace controls all come locked to not let you jump into a moon for like. exactly this reason. Just a hard coded 'no the fuck you will not crash into a [space object]', even if that means sometimes you put in the command to jump and ship is like 'haha whoospy🤪 that coordinate can't be found 🤪 we're weeary sowwry, try again?🥺🥺?'

(but also yeah the irl science behind this is...eh look, in theory it's 100% legit, small surface area + high speed = fuck load of force, enough force and you can break planet no sweat, in practise you run into issues like 'how tf do you get the [what the fuck ever] you're firing at the planet into low orbit to start with, how do you keep it there, and also how do you not destroy the whole planet bc like, you live there too.)
