Paul Copley and John Simm in Life on Mars (2006) S1E6

A hostage situation becomes increasingly more nerve-wracking for Sam when he discovers the hostage taker's deadline coincides with the time that his life support machine is due to be turned off in 2006. Meanwhile Annie gets sent into the room with the hostage taker, dressed as a nurse, in an attempt to gain information about the situation.

*Early in the episode, DI Tyler looks at his watch; it is an analog watch with a liquid crystal digital display which would not be available in 1973.

I made a wraparound record cover for a powermetal album that (unfortunately) doesn't exist!

If you've listened to Maleficus Geminus, you likely know my rage at the death of the robot prince of auchtertool. Well, what if we could rebuild him? The front cover of this album features my (tentative and incomplete (i was on a deadline! sue me)) design of the robot prince of auchtertool, post-battle and mid-resurrection.

Becoming deeply radicalized against the idea of crewed Mars missions, y'know how the Rovers keep sending back better and better data what if instead of that we made an even bigger one and devoted nearly 90% of its capacity to holding a guy in a bubble on top of it instead of sending back useful data, but wait! They'll eliminate like a half hour of latency and also almost certainly contaminate the landing site and possibly the entire planet, so it's not all downside.

if i have anything "positive" to say its that honestly? to all my fellow poc especially my fellow queer poc: you dont Have to be strong right now. you dont Have to be brave you dont have to instantly know what to do you dont have to instantly focus all of your attention onto other people. there will be time for you to recover, but today, let yourself be upset for the sake of being upset. you dont have to turn your anger into something productive. you can just be angry and sad and "weak". its okay to cry. its okay to mourn. and its okay to just feel your emotions without making them into something productive and useful.

crying isnt a white thing. being sad isnt something only liberals do. its a human experience to feel shocked and upset when youve just received awful news and theres nothing wrong with taking a day to yourself. the world wont end without you there to carry it.

1 - Diantha security detail comic

2 + 3 - Emmet's UDF uniform vs Kalosian Guard uniform

4 - Lore/Background comic

Hooo boy ok so this idea has been simmering on the backburner for a while now. So Legends Z-A had its trailer released a few days back and I figured I'd make something around it. I know logically it's going to be a game set in the past but I found myself wanting to work on something more futuristic/sci-fi which is why we have our little Cyber Emmet here.

There's a lot of different things to mention so I'm just gonna break them down by the images.

1:

Diantha is attending a conference/ceremony where she will be discussing the plans for the urbanization of Kalos with the assistance of neighbouring tech giant and long time trade partner Unova. As a sign of goodwill, the Unovan Defense Force sent several people to either work as security or to help organize and prepare the ceremony. Among the list of people is Emmet, who was recently "working with" the UDF, and who is going to serve as Diantha's bodyguard for the event

Emmet's uniform was made by a mix of Unovan and Kalosian designers. It's meant to mimic the shapes while still keeping aspects of his Unovan uniform (mainly the collar, cuffs, and silver trim). He is carrying a handgun from his UDF uniform, however due to the public nature of the event, he is using his charge pistol instead of his wired pistol. He's also using a different face shield, using a silver one as opposed to his black one, since it better matches the uniform he's wearing for the event

Diantha's fur coat still has the angel wing shape. This isn't lore relevant I just couldn't fit the full thing onto the panel but it's definitely there

2 + 3:

Emmet uses a wired pistol (left side holster) and a charge pistol (right side holster). Both are standard issue firearms used by the UDF, however charge pistols are more common thanks to them being easy to hold and carry. A wired pistol connects to a battery pack of some kind to fire at a greater speed, whereas a charge pistol will generate its own power but take longer to fire and load. Emmet's wired pistol connects to the battery network that powers his body, allowing him to take advantage of his fast reflexes by using his faster weapon

Emmet doesn't get anything to wear for his Unovan uniform! Part of the contract he signed for his cybernetics states that he can't cover the prostheses unless it could lead to a breach in confidentiality (such as going to a foreign region or appearing in public outside of work reasons) since he's meant to effectively advertise the quality and construction of the body built for him. Of course he refuses to go outside completely naked to fight so the UDF got him a cropped version of his coat and shoes so he can have some more cover

The face shield is meant more for form than function. Technically the only purpose they serve is to cover his face when he's out on patrol, though it can also act as a screen to show him information about what he's seeing (kind of like an AR headset). He could technically get the screen function though cornea implants but he's not doing that + he wants the anonymity provided by the shield

Sections of the body can split open or be removed. The front abdominal panel can do both due to the different processing mechanisms inside needing easy access for repair/maintenance. Limbs can be swapped for different prostheses provided they have a compatible socket

The sockets in Emmet's back can be used to power other weapons/devices if he has a compatible cable. Emmet was given a bag of different attachments and cables to hook into his back so he can power a range of things from phones to laser rifles

He has removable skin. Any shot of him with the black body is the body without skin. In situations where he could possibly have skin showing or he is required to wear something that shows more skin, he'll have material rolled over the sections of his body that will be visible so they look more normal

4:

Emmet got run over by a train ♥ long story short is that he went to rescue a passenger who had fallen off the platform and miscalculated how much time he had before the train pulled in. Once he got stabilized in the hospital afterwards, he only has around 30% of his original body intact, along with some sections they were able to somewhat repair but required new hardware being installed in order to return their function. Anything under the waist and a large portion of his arms were crushed beyond repair and as such, he's been connected to different machine to mimic the functions of his organs

The UDF (in a rather scummy play) contacted Emmet for business, asking him to sign a contract that would ensure he would live by letting them test their confidential new tech on him. He is the only ethical candidate they have for testing such prostheses so to get him to agree, they offer to cover the cost of everything relating to his health and work, as well as paying him a salary for the trouble. Since the only other options are "die slowly" or "lose all self sufficiency and go bankrupt living in hospital", he agrees, and so begins his second job as a living experiment and tool for the UDF

I think that's the most I've written for one post yikes. This isn't even everything but I'll cut it here because my hands are not pleased with me typing.

I still have a lot to think about for this concept, mostly what kind of work Emmet will do while overseas in Kalos and whether something dangerous enough will happen to warrant him using his body for what it was made for. That might be funny, only two settings and they're "I love macarons :)" and bloodshed.

Anyways hope you guys enjoyed this dump, feel free to ask on anything (it helps me write too ^^). See you later and have a nice day!

you say they can’t put telepaths in marvel rivals, yet we have some very credible leaks that jean grey and emma frost are gonna be in the game soon.

that being said, jean has telekinesis (and the phoenix force) and emma has her diamond form. telepathy is all charles has, lmfao. odds are pretty low for him, but maybe not zero if they give him telekinesis!

if yall have me say he got psionic blasts one more time i am going to scream HE HAS MORE THAN TELEPATHY . LIMITED BUT HE HAS IT <- he has gone against sentinels and disabled armies with it before HE CAN FIGHT I PROMISEEE

and technically they did give him telekinesis in krakoa (and very weak telekinesis sometimes before krakoa) so .... not my fave move but he does have that ...... and ig they give him a gun sometimes ........ last resort type shit but he has options ..

I've been commissioned to write 20,000 characters on RAVE for a widely distributed mainstream magazine, basically an introduction for newcomers. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. The truth is, I’d love to just rant about all the issues that everyone keeps diagnosing but nothing ever changes:

The shift of culture into a strictly business model

The absence of artistic managers in clubs

Competition over collaboration (or collaboration limited to tight-knit interest groups)

Increasing commercialization

The looming shadow of yet another economic crash, closing the cycle

Clubs dumping the responsibility for attendance solely on the collectives throwing the parties (a lazy and crude post-COVID tactic)

A total lack of respect for music in favor of catering to a mediocre audience (by mediocre, I mean those without any musical awareness), so long as the drinks keep flowing

Escalating hedonism and TikTok-ification

The loss of the old-school approach (aspiring DJs used to put in years of work to learn the craft; now it’s all about “average but loyal”)

An obsession with pointless popularity contests and awards

Sectarianism over quality and freshness

Honestly, I had to take a step back because all these factors have really shaken my belief in the value of engaging with the broader rave scene. I’m using this break to reconnect with the original ideals, refresh my knowledge, and seek alternatives.

I think I’ll focus on encouraging readers to maintain high standards, choose their events mindfully, avoid chasing trends, and be guided by their authentic reactions to music—the kind that, for me, used to create incredible experiences at parties, where smoke and strobe lights offered an escape from the toxic world outside.

It’s no surprise that my friends are losing interest in going out when the toxicity they’re trying to escape is staring them down in four walls marked with the empty and overused slogan of PLUR.

What I think is funny is, Owen introduces Sparrow as Just A Regular Guy

So, Just A Regular Guy, with a Penchant For Mischief and a Love For Discovery, crash lands in Color-fucking-rado, makes a tent, and immediately begins straight-up murdering people (pirates). He just starts whaling on them, dude. He videos it. He’d be fucking wrecked in court bro. No getting out of that one

TLDR: Colorado either makes you homicidal or Sparrow has been WAITING for this moment

[syn0vial]

yes, jango genuinely and absolutely loved boba as a son. yes, he also left boba posthumous instructions to seek out dangerous individuals with the express intent of destroying his trust in others by exposing him to harm and possibly death at their hands.

understanding jango's character means understanding that he would not even REMOTELY consider these two facts to be contradictory <3
