my fav trope is like, nonhuman characters not understanding human needs/customs but still being super supportive of their human companion
“look what I found while exploring this planet’s surface!” “kilrak please I’m trying to sleep” “ah yes your human circadian rhythm. *stage whispering* I am supposed to be quiet during this time in your rhythm, yes?”
“the book I purchased on ragnok V says humans require physical touch when upset. therefore, I shall engage in a ‘hug’ with you.” *supremely awkward five-armed hug ensues*
*human sneezes* “OH MY GOD SIL'EEN GET THE MEDIC OUR HUMAN IS DYING”
“this pamphlet I received recently says that humans require companions and packmates in the form of small earth creatures. you should have told me this before we departed earth, but it is no worry. we will have to stop at the next trade planet to get you one of these ‘cats’ or ‘dogs’.”
imagine the aliens really purchasing a kitten for one of their rough and world-weary scifi badass human companions and watching in helpless wonderment what ensues
“she’s been cuddling that small animal for the past fifteen minutes just going ‘kitty, kitty’. did we - did we break our human?”
a more seasoned alien puts one of their tentacles around the younger one as the rest of the team gathers to watch their human make kissy noises.
“no, kilrak,” the alien says. “we did good.”
can you believe that apple took away the headphone jack, made the headphones wireless (which only hold a 5 hour charge) (and you’ll definitely lose one of them eventually) and will sell them for $159? BUT you can BUY an adapter to replace the free jack they took away, so you can use the perfectly good wired headphones you already owned. but you won’t be able to listen to anything and charge your phone at the same time.
honestly? apple is one of the greatest scammers of all time, joanne prada should be shook.
APPLE IS A MESS
all these comments like “there’s adpters so you can charge your phone while you listen to music!!!!” are missing the point.
if you have to adapt your phone to do a basic ass function, it’s a bad fucking product.

When I was 16 I was pro-life, I wanted kids and to get married, I had next to no inkling of what gay people went through and “disapproved of the lifestyle” because that’s what my parents told me to think, I didn’t even know asexuals existed and if I had I probably would have thought they just needed to get laid.
It’s 15 years later now and I’m pro-choice, I don’t want kids of my own, I’ve been married and divorced and am now engaged, the majority of my friends are some form of queer as well as myself, and I am on the ace spectrum.
We change as people as we grow up. It happens. We get exposed to new things, learn new ways of thinking, see other sides to things.
Which is one of the reasons Tumblr’s toxic black/white nonsense is very infuriating.
Because it’s a bunch of kids who haven’t learned yet that shit’s gonna change trying to make absolutes out of every situation. They’re always out to find the bad guy.
Like there’s a very reverse Scooby Doo kind of feeling like “Oh look, let’s take the mask off your fave artist/actor/etc and reveal that they are the monster. Look how problematic!!!” and for small infractions too.
I dunno man. Life’s going to change for you, people are going to change around you, and YOU are going to change as you grow. Who you are right now is not who you are going to be at 30.
I mean, lord, can you imaging parenting kids with the same attitude tumblr has? You kid screws up once and you’re flipping shit on them and kicking them out of the house?
It’s not good behavior, always looking for the bad in things, always looking for a monster. You can take a stand in other ways against bad shit in the world and it doesn’t have to mean harassing people. Give to charities, promote things like help hotlines, volunteer places, take classes on how to counsel people, there’s so many good ways to help. Badgering people, sending death threats, being a dick? Those aren’t helping.
Ya’ll will change as you grow and you gotta acknowledge that you change and so do others and that change isn’t instant and that some things never 100% change and that’s okay. The world is like that. There’s stuff we’ll never eradicate 100%. It sucks. I’d love to prevent some shit from ever happening ever but that’s not how life is. So instead we do what we can while we’re here to help others.
Be kind. Don’t be a dick. The world is nicer that way.
I love king crimson because sometimes they look like they’re stuck in the 1800s but their music sounds like it’s from the year 3000

Energia - Buran
space shuttle concept art
See- This is interesting. Above me they labeled it as “concept art,” but this is totally real. The Energia Buran is Russia’s sole space shuttle, used only once. I saw a model of this at a museum in London and had no Idea what I was looking at and did some research on it. It’s pretty sad that it wasn’t used often, It’s a beautiful ship, cooler than the USA’s in my personal opinion
