Getting into an extremely popular and mainstream superhero was the best decision I've ever made because I truly get to see my guy everywhere. Just saw a batman birthday cake at the grocery store and my brain immediately got flooded by serotonin. I love it

While I'm in my Star Trek (The Original Series) downspiral, I thought it would be fun to propose a poll of random details mentioned in TOS specifically.

The episodes each factoid comes from:

Kirk the tough teacher -> Where No Man Has Gone Before (S1)

Spock's shame over his feelings for Kirk -> The Naked Time (S1)

The Uhura/Chapel kiss -> What Are Little Girls Made Of (S1)

Kirk refusing to convert to Hellenic(/ancient alien) polytheism because he's a firm monotheist -> Who Mourns for Adonais? (S2)

McCoy honoring the privacy of the hot lady of the week's disability -> Is There In Truth No Beauty? (S3)

Uhura talking about how she's always found it calming to listen to Kirk over the loudspeaker -> Plato's Stepchildren (S3)

The Gorn Did Nothing Wrong -> Arena (S1)

Spock hasn't had a father-son relationship with Sarek for 18 years (or visited his parents for 4) -> Journey to Babel (S2)

Sulu and Chekov don't believe in just following orders -> Turnabout Intruder (S3)

Kirk was a 13-year-old genocide survivor -> The Deadly Years (S2) / The Conscience of the King (S1)

McCoy gets married to the priestess Natira, one of the few female authority figures who is capable and noble and survives and gains full leadership of her people, and Kirk promises to help him visit her periodically -> For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky (S3)

Spock is finally convinced that his thoughts are being influenced by outside forces because he voluntarily ate meat -> All Our Yesterdays (S3)

loud shout-out to the other regressors , dreamers , and critters who want a caregiver but are scared of finding one because of the fear of being a handful , too much , unlovable , or fear they're going to be harmful to you or not a good match

i LOVE running into blueberries in destiny. with their early game pink capes and they're kinda shy and then you emote at them or crouch and they dance the default dances. knowing they're just starting out in this world you love and they have so much to learn, and you hope that they stick around and get to feel the way i do some time later.

Thinking about vampirism in D&D again... Considering the tadpole shut down most of the abilities Astarion's just taken for granted for about 200 years, as discussed by him and Shadowheart:

3. Astarion: It's a long time since I was in a house of healing. Gods, it's depressing.

0. Shadowheart: I suppose you don't have much use for hospitals... unless you're seeking to steal their blood stock.

2. Astarion: True, although I don't heal as fast as I used to. The one downside to the tadpole, I suppose.

1. Shadowheart: The one downside? I think you might have stopped the count too soon... End

Well, Astarion is probably used to watching his injuries start closing up the moment he gets them. This whole thing where wounds just stay open, potentially kill you and hurt all day is a new one. I wonder if he worked out his regeneration was nullified before he got himself severely injured... His assessment of damage might be a bit out of practice.

There's also the fact that vampires have supernaturally boosted physical capabilities; the default vampire spawn strength score is more along the lines of 16.

While I am attached to Astarion's horrible noodly score of 8, the concept of him absentmindedly trying to lift things far too heavy for him without vampirism giving him an edge is funny (and honestly could very well tie in to discovering the lack of regeneration when he hurts himself). His reflexes are still good, but they would've been better so he probably finds himself quite clumsy.

His senses of sight, hearing and smell might've gotten duller too (if he complains about this nobody is going to have sympathy - he's an elf, he has the sharpest senses by default). His sense of touch, on the other hand, might've been restored (it's duller for the undead). You know what will make Astarion's already charming attitude [affectionate-and-derogatory] better? Overstimulation.

And after he adjusts the tadpole is removed, and it's back to the adjustment period.

i love scaled and icy and I could never be mad at somebody expressing appreciation for it but I do think it’s very funny when people defend it with “do you hate joy???? and whimsy???? and FUN?????” like girl is the whimsy in the room with us right now

Please pray for all those going to the March for Life this week, that they put their trust in God and not in princes.

Tale of two Stans never fails to make me sad. What do you mean these two overly dependent assholes both end up at the worst lowest points of their lives at the same exact moment? What the fuck!? How was it that of everything in their lives to coincide it's them being at their lowest that meet.

What do you mean their childhoods never gave them a chance to be individuals and so all of their weaknesses and blind spots caught up with them in the end. What do you mean that without Ford, Stan was destined to get himself into trouble? What do you mean that without Stan, Ford was destined to get himself in trouble? What the fuck!

What do you fucking mean that they depended on one another because that's all they ever knew.

What do you mean Ford never bothered to learn to read when people wanted to use him cause he had Stan? What do you mean Stan never learned to think ahead because he had Ford?

I'm so haunted by the fact that Ford was able to mostly keep his life stable for a few years but in the end his inability to truly read and connect with people got to him. Why did filbrick make him think he was only good for one thing so he pushed himself too far in a way it was easy to take advantage of? What do you fucking mean his fatal flaw is he's convinced he's never good enough and thus is easy to manipulate?

I'm gutted by the fact that Stan was never doing well by any means but he was surviving against the odds and doing better than terrible. Until his tendency to push things, to prove himself, got him in too deep. Why did filbrick convince him he was good for nothing so he pushed himself to find something he was worth? What do you fucking mean his fatal flaw is he's convinced he's never good enough and thus he's always pushing himself to the edge at great risk to his own safety even?

What do you mean their flaws as people are reflected and can only make full sense with the context of the other. What do you mean!

filbrick Pines how the HELL did you fuck up your sons in a way so poetic and fucked up its beautifully tragic?
