Ok we need to take about spaceships. I love sci-fi, and I love the CONCEPT of spaceships as much as the next guy, but we need to start being creative. A spaceship can be literally ANYTHING, so why can we only imagine them as giant hunks of metal? Our present is getting in the way of our imagination!!! Like look at these ships
They’re all gorgeous right! But also they’re all different archetypes of the same model. Let’s think big!!!!
Anyways this post was an excuse to post my favorite spaceship from all time, the Black Moon Clan’s ship from the second season of Sailor Moon:
LIKE????? Of COURSE a space ship can be a giant fucking crystal!!!!
LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!! LOOK HOW FOREBODING IT LOOKS DESCENDING ONTO HUMANITY FROM THE CLOUDS!!!
I’ve seen/read so much sci-fi, and yet not ONE of the space ships has this much creativity and uniqueness in design. And the interior too! (Ignore the crucified sailors they got better)
I’m so upset that I haven’t seen anything else play with the sci-fi genre w/ respect to spaceships as much as Sailor Moon did in 1993, which was literally 30 yrs ago 🙄
Hopefully we’ll have more open minds in the future
#Black Moon Spaceship from Sailor Moon my Beloved#I will hug and kiss all of your spikes#I’d do that any day before giving respect to the scraps of metal sci-fi sells to us as spaceships anyways😔#anyways if anyone has any more unique spaceships pls lmk or add them like feel free#my niche nerd ass topic of the day#spaceships#scifi#sci fi#sailor moon#sailor moon r#black moon clan#who asked?#sm#I feel like in general#sailor moon doesn’t get enough credit for its sci fi#like the black moon stuff and future crystal Tokyo#the mad scientist witch coven bringing about the apocalypse in S#and then stars with the galaxy wide war of sailors#like this was such good scifi!!!!#anyways I digress#sailor moon meta

#i kept... procrastinating........... sorry to everyone who gave me a character for taking so long....#my art#digital#worm#wormblr#i like.. most of these 👍#ive struggled a lot with my alec design but i think im finally starting to get somewhere with him#that specific emma is from arc 5. her dad mentions taylors moms death and taylor lashes out and emma cant help from smiling#so she leans forward on the desk and covers her mouth#the sleeper.... ok so his whole deal is intentionally vague in canon#because someone told wildbow he doesnt need to explain every single deatail about every cape that shows up#so i was able to do whatever the fuck#basically his power is visually described as a not-rainbow storm thats large enough to cover a good chunk of a large city#out of canon wildbow says the only capes whod be able to survive his storm would need to be indestructible or have an impenetrable mind#so i thought yo. i recently watched a video about a short scifi horror story about how certain fractals make people die from looking at the#and the only person who didnt die from seeing the worst one had trained himself by looking at less dangerous fractals#so.. there the sleeper is ig.. a vague figure in the center of a giant fractal mess#i didn't INTEND for aisha to be looking at alec but no harm no foul. its kinda cute#anyway i spent most the day finishing this and now i think i dont wanna draw digitally ever again?

was trying to find inspiration / concept art of robits and androids and maybe body horror w wires and shit but i kept finding exclusively just Robot Girl Art with the rcdart captain america body proportions
these are the same picture. also just a bunch of AI bloat clogging up my search results lol
#dies. lays down and fucking dies#nobody ever needs to draw this body type ever again. it's so overplayed#it's ok i did eventually find some actually good art that's been helping me get my cogs turning!!!!!!!#i always do Nature stuff i'd like to try robots and machinery or at least. try it out a little. scifi stuff.#sergle.txt#everyone stop RELYING ON THIS BODY TYPE FOR CHARACTER DESIGNS... can we do something else i'm bored#i tried this already like a week ago and felt so much disappointment seeing that exact image that i closed the tab and gave up#whatever the opposite of artistic inspiration is...

My Favorite Detail in Farscape is [Spoilers!]
Ok for real spoilers for the entire show including Peacekeeper Wars, so I'll put a gif here and you all agree to scroll on past if you don't want spoilers for a show that ended in 2004.
Ok, so for everyone still here, my all-time favorite detail in Farscape is one that I didn't catch until my second watch-through, and I don't think it's common knowledge in the fandom. (Edit: apparently it's more commonly known about then I realized! Obviously this is because Farscape fans are keen-eyed and insightful and starved for content lol). It's certainly never mentioned or pointed out in the show itself. But it's just so perfect that I get giddy everytime I think about it.
So after Crichton gets twinned, in "Thanks for Sharing," Crichton A gets injured in the bar explosion on that planet that puts lobsters on your head. He is left with a cut above his left eyebrow, and the resulting scar can be used to tell the two Crichtons apart for the rest of season 3 (Crichton A is the one on Talyn with Aeryn).
Wound in "Thanks for Sharing"
Scar visible on Crichton A
No scar on Crichton B aboard Moya.
(Also frell me it's hard getting clear pics / gifs for this show somebody get on that)
Anyway, the scar/injury is never really addressed after that first episode, it's just a super-subtle costuming detail that shows the two Crichtons are now living separate lives. Crichton A then dies after finally achieving everything he ever wanted, Aeryn is heartbroken, drama ensues. The question is raised and discussed often, with much angst: which Crichton was the real one? Did Aeryn fall in love with the original or the copy?
Of course, Crichton B eventually accepts that they were both "him" and yet both individuals too, and Aeryn eventually says "There is no longer any difference in my mind." So it's resolved, mostly.
BUT.
2.5 seasons later, at the end of "The Peacekeeper Wars" Crichton B finally activates the wormhole weapon. After Einstein unlocks the knowledge for him, he returns to Moya bloody and hurt. And for the rest of the movie, he has a wound, and then a scar--a small cut above his left eyebrow.
It's never mentioned. It happens right near the end, when obviously a lot of other things are going on. It's really, super easy to miss. But I think it's amazing. They both really were the real Crichton. And even when they split and began leading separate lives--their destiny was still the same. The timelines reunited, kinda, or two separate possible outcomes synced up. It's such a beautiful, perfect bow to wrap up one of the most emotionally powerful arcs in the show. I just love it. Farscape really is in a league of its own.
#farscape#john crichton#aeryn sun#Deep media analysis#long post#scifi#You guys this show is so frelling good#Nothing else like it#I still can't watch S3 without crying#Props to the makeup team idk whose idea it was but they did a good job

Ekaterin Vorsoisson is so special…. Like she is stiff and self-deprecating from a decade of making herself small for her small-hearted husband and she thinks her integrity is all that’s left of her and her dry humor can kill a man and she simultaneously feels trapped by and is the staunchest defender of her child and she cultivated amazing videogame gardens in the secrecy of her computer for all those years keeping her heart alive and in the end she trades her integrity to save that heart and survives!!!!!
#vorkosigan saga#it’s SO interesting reading her with a 2024 brain#like I’m familiar with Divorcee Who Finds Herself Again as a type but#it’s been a While since I encountered one— doesn’t tend to populate scifi or fantasy#and she’s SUCH A GOOD ONE#and like bringing all my Strong Female Character Discourse knowledge to her. it’s interesting!!!

gem's ability to completely stop scar in his tracks when he's talking about star wars by just asking (seemingly) innocuous questions is incredible
#hey scar is star wars like basically just a romcom?#girl who has never seen a movie vs guy who has seen all the movies#geminitay#goodtimeswithscar#gtws#hermitcraft#see my opinion on star wars is it isn't really my thing#except for rogue one. which is just a really good film#i'm generally not a huge scifi fan either its kinda a hit or miss for me

the gridlock episode of dw confidential where they were explaining how much excessive effort they put into tryna make a kitten say "mama" THAT is it. thats what scifi is all about. give me the lunacy
#doctor who#gridlock#not saying that to make good scifi u have to spend hours tryna make a cat meow in a certain way for one joke but yes you do#they were like we NEED this cat to say mama#for the immersion

Hi Bel! If YOU could make an expansion, what would you theme it around?
I've been thinking about this ask for 2 days and I still don't know, there are so many things I would want to go into it. It's impossible for me to choose. Possibly my biggest interest is exploring the universe in some way and uncovering its history.
Instead, I am asking all of YOU what would you theme an expansion around. Put it in the tags.
#destiny 2#ask#one of the things i would like is more on the vex and especially VOLANTIS. LET ME GO THERE#i would make an entire expansion about this 100%#i thought also maybe some of the more niche lore stuff like the aphelion but i actually don't want it. i want it to be a mystery forever#like i won't be mad if it happens but i prefer some stuff to remain strange and unknowable. not everything needs an explanation#same thing with exploring the universe. i would like some stuff explored but not all#some of it has to stay forever out of reach#otherwise the setting ends up feeling too small. good scifi knows when to stop. destiny has been really good with it so far

also. i've said it before but infinity train is for the aros. to me. like it's got multiple relationships that are core defining features of the characters and the story. and, crucially, (while some are commonly shipped by fans) they are not textually romantic.
#eliot posts#intr#begging all aros who like cartoons or even just scifi/fantasy in general to watch this show#it's so fucking good#do check the doesthedogdie page for trigger warnings if ur sensitive to certain stuff tho#cuz that shit can get more intense than you'd expect for a kids show lol#i especially recommend it for the romance repulsed aros bc only one character has any serious romantic relationship#and they're a villain who needs to learn to LET GO OF IT
