Lucien's Mish-Mash of Random Thoughts, #11

I remember when Red Letter Media made this fake nerd podcast called The Nerd Crew.  Those videos were hilarious.  From them came one of the most meme-d things ever – “consume product, then get excited for next product.”  It was a great line.  They haven’t made one of those in forever, but I get why.  The nerd market has really gone quiet since COVID came and smashed the country to bits.  I am…

Just watched the 2 first episodes of Skeleton Crew and I have thoughts!

First of, At Attin uses old republic money, they have security droids instead of people working in lawenforcment and It's illegal to leave the planet. They don't even have any starships at all?

Then there’s the myth about "the lost planet of eternal treasure" in the outside galaxy about At Attin, people don't even believe this planet actually exists which points towards the fact that At Attin hasn't had contact with the rest of the galaxy in a long time.

I reckon At Attin is stuck in the past, like they still think it's the Old Republic and are disconnected from the rest of the galaxy completely, the entire planet is a time capsule for some reason. That's why they use old republic money and adress The Republic as just "The Republic" rather than the New Republic because they were never aware that the Republic fell and gave way for the Empire.

Knowledge about the Jedi seems pretty common on At Attin too which wouldn't be the case if they had been under imperial control so it's likley Palpatine never found At Attin either.

They've mentioned "The Barrier" like twice so far and it seems like the planet is enveloped in some sort of blue foggy field which they've named The Barrier. It's probably why At Attin hasn't had contact with the rest of the galaxy, maybe they can't because The Barrier blocks all transmissions?

We know they can't see the stars from the planet surface at least, and the kids seemed kind of lost about what they were looking at for a minute. I don't think the kids know that much about the outside world either, maybe certain knowledge is only given to people with a lot of power on At Attin, which would suggest that they have withdrawn from the known galaxy intentionally. This theory might have more grounds due to the laws regarding starships on At Attin, they're not allowed to enter or leave. Someone made that law and therefore intentionally restricted their contact with the galaxy. Hopefully we will see more about the leadership of At Attin.

In conclusion it's clear that At Attin is disconnected from the rest of the galaxy for so far unknown reasons. They live as if it's still the old republic though so they have obviously had contact with the outside galaxy before, the questions are how long ago did they vanish and why?

I would love to hear other peoples thoughts on this! Do you share any conclusions that I've come up with? I'm curious!

And that’s a wolf fact~

now that you mention it, yeah kabru is kind of an ibex

trying to pin it down but I don't feel confident on my grasp of kabru's characterization (depsite him being my favourite guy. you know how it is) but like. Kabru is a nicer ibex. Ibex is kabru but he's no longer asking. Ibex is a kabru but he's not afraid to let outright enemies stay on the board if he knows he'll win the overall battle. I think Kabru would make a better candidate of rightousness. I need a two way au and we're gonna send the dunmeshi cast to divine cycle space and we're throwing the kingdom crew in a last ditch dungeon crawl

@arcnoise tagging just in case

One thing I noticed is that apparently Ford was more popular than Stan in high school despite still being bullied because of his extra fingers but because of his low self-esteem, he didn't even notice that. Like, thanks to TBOB we find out that he was part of 8 clubs during high school and in the extras for Gravity Falls: The Complete Series, we have an extra of Stan commenting the Episode 18 of Season One and in it Stan admits that Ford was more popular than him during high school. This just shows us how Ford's self-esteem was very low because of the bullying he suffered at a young age and how it affected the way he seems himself.

Yeah. While being involved in clubs doesn't guarantee you friends (speaking as someone who was involved in extra curriculars in high school but had zero friends), he seems to have a crowd that'd tolerate him (going off of canon, Fiddleford seemed to be his only actual friend other than Stan himself).

But at the same time, yes, Ford's low self-esteem made it so he couldn't fathom people. You know. Liking him.

I started it as a joke based on this post but it went out of my hands as every project ever got into my hands.

It's Usopp day!! So here are some quick headcannons I've had bouncing around for a while:

Usopp is, hands down the best gift giver of the crew. One of his main love languages is acts of service, you know he's always ready for the crew's birthdays! If he can't find it, more often than not, he'll make it, so when his birthday rolls around, it's all hands on deck.

Contrary to popular belief, Usopp doesn't drink coffee that often. His anxiety plus caffeine isn't a great mix. He doesn't really have a preference between coffee or tea, he's more of a sweet drinks person.

At least twice a week, he and Robin spend some time caring for their plants together. He's working with Robin and Chopper to see if he can cross-breed pop greens with other plants.

Usopp journals pretty consistently. It's a habit he picked up from his mom when she was bedridden and trying to keep occupied and awake. He likes to write down his to-do list, ideas, and first sketches as they pop into his head. It's always somewhere on him or nearby, but no one is allowed to look through it.

(Its definetly not because he loves making little sketches of the crew as they go about their day)

Usopp's sketchbook is where he drafts out his blueprints and works on complex drawings. That's usually in his workshop, and he and Franky communicate on projects through little notes left on pages.

He and Nami are the most consistent writers of the log book. At first, Nami kept it up to date, but Usopp got involved to add more flare, and now it's their little ritual.

Usopp is a little touch starved, and especially after the whole water 7 debacle, starts seeking out comfort and physical affection from his crew mates. Evening cuddles with Luffy and Chopper quickly becomes a regular thing.

Brook and Usopp have a religiously scheduled time one day a week, dedicated to hair care. Neither usually care too much about the shower schedule, but Wash Day is sacred. They pull out all their products and shamelessly hog the bathroom. Sanji brings them snacks and drinks as needed. Sometimes, Chopper joins them when his fur needs a good clean. Brook and Usopp experiment with different styles on Ussop's hair if they have the time and energy. Both of them will never admit just how important it is to them, but they know.

It's not a grudge, per say, but Usopp definitely has some repressed anger towards Yasopp. He loves his dad, respects him, and looks up to him. He also socks him across the face before hugging him when they finally reunite.

It takes Usopp a few hours to wind down if he pushes his observation haki too far. His haki is strong, and it backfires a little, leading to a painful case of sensory overload. He has to lie down in the dark and built himself a wieghted blanket just for occasions like this.

Once, when he got a little too tipsy, and had spent a little too long staring at Kabuto upgrades, Usopp may have considered - very passionatly, out loud - how well Luffy's skin would work as a last ditch replacement for the rubber straps of his slingshot. It took them an hour to convince Luffy to come down from the rigging.

Usopp is not allowed to experiment with explosives on the Sunny unless he is manning the cannons. This is absolutely because of an incident when Ussop was on watch, sleep deprived, and experimenting with new ammunition. Luffy, Nami and Zoro have a pact to ensure Usopp and Buggy never interact with each other.

Speaking of sleep deprivation, when Usopp gets like that, he scares the crew and never even ends up remembering it. All of his intrusive and unhinged thoughts take over, and he loses any filter he has. He's tried to collect Chopper's fur to make a coat, made Jimbei sit still so he could colour match the exact shade of his skin, watered Zoro's head in the middle of his nap, started debating the worst ways to die and why with Robin and made a detailed plan to kidnap and train a news coo to get Nami free newspapers.
