Megan, bi, 32, she/her. This is where I put some fandom stuff (mostly SW, lots of Darth Maul) @rogue_wonderful on tiktok/insta/twitter PrettyBiForAJedi on A03
I can't believe canon gave us a Twi'lek Jedi, drew her fully clothed and not super sexualized, allowed her to be angry and emotional and still so desperately and devotedly a Jedi to the core, and then killed her off. It's not fair.
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
what Viktor Arcane is doing is not, strictly, advisable. However, pretty much everyone in his life told him "we're sorry you're dying, but it's your ethical duty to just accept it, just lie down and die from your Limp That Also Makes You Cough Up Blood that was caused by growing up in the Poor Part Of The City With Horrible Carcinogenic Pollutants Everywhere that we not only won't do anything to fix we are actively working on using your hextech research to build weapons to wield against the people there. You are not allowed to use your hextech research to save your own life though. So tragic, you're gonna die so young, but what can we do do? Ah well." Like he fully deserves to go full transhumanist magicyborg at this point and I support him because no one else does.
I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground
LUNAE MINX was a purple-skinned female Twi'lek, belonging to one of the rarest color variations of her people. She was the mysterious friend of the exotic dancer Ayy Vida.
Lunae Minx is played by Katie Lucas, George Lucas' daughter. "I was purple in [Episode II] and it took about six hours to do! My call time was at 3 a.m., and my makeup took until 7 a.m., and we wouldn't start shooting until two hours after that. The makeup went all down my arm and they airbrushed spots down the tentacles. I was exhausted by the end of the day."
