#or the tractor beam shenanigans

[delta-pavonis]

more doctor/curator pleeeaaaase? xo @hardly-an-escape

Far be it from me to deny anyone of more of these two sweet little whores... (I really really like them and will be back to their unhinged shenanigans after the Bang). More under the cut in the middle because NSFW.

Hob is shocked they make it past the entryway after the door to his flat closes behind them. 

But, let's be clear, the only reason they do is because Dream sees the tapestry that hangs in the library that opens to the left of the foyer.

The room has no windows, bookshelves from floor to high ceilings on all vertical surfaces except for the rectangle of glass that encases the textile art in a climate-controlled space. 

“My God, Hob,” Dream is walking towards it like he is being pulled in by a tractor beam on some spaceship, floating and not of his own volition. “Is this real?”

He comes up behind Dream and wraps his arms around the curator. “Aye,” he rests his chin on a black-clad shoulder, “family heirloom, late 14th century. The story is that one of my ancestors learned tapestry weaving in Paris and brought it back to Kent, taught her children, and their children. Gadling-made work supposedly hung in most castles in southern Britain by the mid-15th century. But this one was kept by the family. Why this particular tapestry over others is lost to time.”

A giant white horse rears up across the silken surface, narrowly avoiding the wolves that attack and weave around its legs. In the forest other beasts watch: owls, foxes, deer, squirrels, songbirds. It is very clearly not a unicorn, which is fascinating because it loses the religious symbolism typical of the period. The sun is setting in the background, making the leaves glow with a burnished copper color. 

“It is exquisite,” Dream whispers, leaning back into Hob. “And explains your preference for the Middle Ages.”

“Got it in one,” Hob chuckles. He pushes his hands up the front of Dream's shirt, presses his palms to the flat of his abdomen and digs his fingertips into the trail of dark hair that runs down the center.

Dream sways into it, going pliant in Hob's embrace. “So what's your desired order of operations, doctor? Far be it from me to choose a schedule that might endanger the lives of others by leaving you short on sleep.” He grabs one of Hob's hands and slides it down into his pants, where his cock is sticky and half-hard already. “Also, I think I have a Christmas present I might request of you.” He presses his arse into Hob's groin with a rolling motion, arching his back and moaning obscenely loud when Hob's fingers find the frenum piercing.

Fucking hell this man is such a perfect whore.

“Oh?” Hob murmurs, far more focused on cataloging every little sound and twitch that different tugs and twists of the piercing bring about. Dream is rock hard again within seconds, practically writhing against him, yet he is also the one stringing sentences together.

“Oh yes,” he rocks forward into Hob's hand then back into his crotch. “I want to ride your face until I come with your tongue buried in my arse, then turn around and ride your cock until I come again.”

Hob shivers and groans and uses his free hand to open Dream's fly so he has the space to fondle his bollocks. “You want that before or after I put on my leathers and ride you?” 

Dream cries out again, a generous spurt of precum ending up on Hob's hand when he tugs and twists the piercing; apparently a touch of pain isn't bad for this little dove. “Oh, after. Then I'll be on your face longer, waiting for my dick to get back into the game.”

“Mmm, then you'll be riding me even longer after that, just like you want, you insatiable slut.” Hob sucks on the side of his neck, digs his teeth in to bring a bruise to bloom. Dream moans and bucks with the hardest presses of teeth. “Like some pain with your pleasure, dove?”

“Only in small doses.” His long arms swing up and behind Hob's head, tugging his mouth back to his neck. “You?”

Hob gets distracted by expanding the hickey so it flows down to the top of Dream's shoulder. “Not my jam, but I am more than happy to do just about anything that turns my partner on.”

Dream laughs, breathless and happy-sounding, “No wonder you get typecast as a service top.”

Frustrated with the obstacle, Hob pulls Dream's shirt off, flings it somewhere to the side, then continues to paint the skin of his shoulder red and purple with his teeth. “And does everyone assume you're the twinky bottom?” He strokes Dream's cock slowly and grinds his own arousal into that pert little arse.

A gasp interrupts Dream's continued laughing as he grinds back, so much harder than before. “I love surprising people. Upending their expectations. Watching them lose their minds as I expertly take them apart, piece by piece.”

“Expertly?” He can't help but ask.

“What do they say, ten thousand hours to master a skill?” Dream sounds like such a smug little shit and Hob is beyond feral about it.

He moves one hand up to play with the hair on Dream’s chest, to tweak a nipple and hear that lovely little gasp again. “And how much practice have you had, sweet thing?”

“You sure you want the honest answer to that?” He can hear Dream's raised eyebrow.

“Go ahead. Shock me.”

“I stopped counting at one hundred seventy nine different partners.” 

Hob freezes, a whine oozing out through his teeth. Bloody fuck. 

“Hob?”

“Yeah, give me a sec. If I don't dissociate for a minute I am gonna come in my pants because Christ that is hot. Also explains a lot. My God, how many of those were multiples at once?”

Dream's laugh this time is a deep, sensuous rumble. “Not as many as you might think. And I’ve only been gang banged once.” He turns in Hob's arms, dislodging Hob's hand from his prick and leaning in to speak against Hob's lips, “But that was a long time ago. Now I am more interested in exploring how many different sensations I can have with one partner.”

“Oh, so you plan on going full fluid bond with me, do you?”

The blush on Dream’s face is a gorgeous, deep rose red. “I…” he looks down and away for only a moment and then holds his chin up high, proud and perfect, “yes.”

[t0ast-ghost]

I will not shut up about Star Trek TOS yet and you’ve decided to listen in on that. So welcome to my thoughts on the 11th episode (The Corbomite Maneuver):

- starting off strong with these camera angles and movements

- *sees a spinning colourful cube in space* just go a bit to the left (he is not up for shenanigans today)

- can’t wait for Checkov to be introduced, I hear he gets a gun or smt

- WHAT IS THAT PHYSICAL CHECK??? Why does he have to lie on his back?? And why does he have to have his shirt off?

- if I were Spock trying to call the captain and he picks up and all I’d see was his tits… all I’m saying is he keeps a really good straight face

- OMG we got a “what am I a moon shuttle conductor or a doctor?”

- Sulu laughing at Spock’s sense of humour

- the close up on Kirk’s ass as he leaves the room is so intentional

- Bones sitting on the railing…

- how many surfaces can I sit on competition but my opponent is Leonard Bones McCoy

- just to prove my point the next scene starts with him sitting on a table

- god I feel bad for Scotty having to sit between McCoy and Spock in some of those meetings

- Sulu was cool as a cucumber

- “do you ever tire of questioning me on things you’ve already made your mind up about?” “it gives me emotional security” they are each others emotional support guy (Spock & Kirk)

- Kirk saying“navigation, you’re timing was lousy. Same with engineering, Helmsman” then Bones immediately after “you’re timing was lousy”

- how can you sit in a chair like that even (bones)

- Alexa play tik tok by Kesha

- (okay now I’m just imagining Spock dancing like one of those spider-man memes but completely straight faced (also Spock now listens to Kesha canonically but like in my head))

- THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING THING??? THAT IS A PUPPET!

- Bones is so caring, he has so much fucking compassion I won’t shut up about him

- “you now have seven minutes left” but there’s 23 minutes left in the episode. Guess a lot of it’s just gonna be dead air… er space I mean (yeah I can come up with a better line than this later (edit: no I can’t I’m tired))

- SPOCK IS SO SAD. He truly thinks this is a hopeless situation.

- Bones is about to die in four minutes and he’s threatening Kirk because of the fact that he put Bailey’s health at risk… I love this man

- “Anytime you can bluff me, doctor” I can’t legally say what I thought was said but maybe the ancient archaeologists will know from context clues

- I don’t think Uhura has spoken to most of the bridge crew up to this point, she barely has had plot or even dialogue, I can’t wait till they give her an episode or just even make her more central

- Spock going to Kirk’s side after the bluff for emotional support

- Spock is so proud when talking about his mom :)))

- Your science and medical officers usually shouldn’t stand so close to your chair and clutch at it while leaning over you. It’s not normal behaviour.

- Okay I’d like to mention how calm Sulu has been and how much I love him, can we please get more of him in future episodes?

- wait so Bones is just gonna let Bailey go back to work? Like I get they apologized to each other but that doesn’t change that it’s still a bad idea to have him there

- Spock, Kirk, and McCoy immediately after the death threat is gone: guess it’s time to start flirting again

[Video description: Spock stands on the bridge, he says, “A very interesting game, this poker.” Kirk sitting in his captains chair replies, “It does have advantages over chess.” McCoy smiling at Spock adds, “Love to teach it to you.” Spock smiles back at him. End description]

- he’s got a twinkle in his eye

- The shake on the bridge as the tractor beam tows them is so funny if you watch Spock and McCoy (it continues to be funny for the next couple minutes)

- "Captain request to-" "Denied. If it's a trap.. If I'm wrong, I want you here" awwe he wants him safe (idc that this is not what the writers are trying to say, HE WANTS SPOCK SAFE)

- they all have to bend over on the transporter pad but when they get transported Bones isn't even bent he's just standing at his normal height slightly hunched

- HOLY CRAP I HATE THAT THING... I'm so glad it's a puppet

- nope okay I don't know what's happening, I can't. I'm. What.

- that is apple cider, they are sitting around this guy trying to drink apple cider

- McCoy doesn't know what the fuck to do right now and neither do I

Now imagine, if you will, Spock dancing

Thank you, and have a good day.

B5 03e14 Ship of Tears previous episode • table of contents

The news from Earth is back, but it's fully propaganda now. 

I'm glad Sheridan's getting to play in the starfuries for a bit. He definitely needs some chill, fun, flying time. 

Dang, it's Walter Koenig! My guy, Bester. Can't wait to see what evil shenanigans he's up to now! 

He's such a good villain. So reasonable. So...off. 

I don't get why the gang are still stonewalling G'Kar...it's ever more fucked up the longer they keep doing it. C'mon, be better. 

I forgot about the new uniforms for a bit but I like them. Looking snazzy! I like the lines and random patch of color. 

I genuinely wonder if Bester intentionally goaded her into hitting him. Glad PsiCorps are against the Shadows...it's a low bar to clear, since the Shadows are against life, but still glad. 

This is a huge enemy-of-my-enemy stretch, though, considering elements within PsiCorps have been directly enemies with B5 interests themselves. Still, cooperation has got to be key against the shadows. 

Wow, this is the biggest fight I've seen Delenn and John have! But seriously for the best to read G'Kar in on all the intel. He brought his intel to them! it's insulting they haven't read him in to their own intel.

Oh shit, they disclosed the existence of the Secret Ship to Bester! That's a hell of a move, as is it for Bester to just plop into the Captain's chair on the bridge. Is that a Star Trek nod? Chekov never commanded the Enterprise in any of the episodes and never sat in the chair, so Bester steals the chair for a second in B5? Cute. 

I gotta pay close attention to Delenn and G'Kar's talk. Delenn's decision to obsfucate was directly because of the Grey Council's decision not to share any info. Delenn's arguing it was a good decision, because if they'd allied openly with the Narns from the beginning, the Shadows would have wiped out the Narns entirely instead of only enabling the Centauri to genocide and oppress them. 

I find G'Kar's reaction a bit...odd. He talks himself around to agreeing with her, which I find a bit shameful of the writers. It cannot ever be a good thing that a people were wiped out without any foreknowledge from supposed allies. Maybe it wouldn't have changed the outcome in terms of life, but who could say what they may have done? 

They have a sort of tractor beam and caught a ship, cool. Weapon's supplies, but it seems to be a person in pained stasis. Dun dun dun.

It's so wild that they took Bester into their confidence enough to take him on the White Star when they're known G'Kar all along and he still doesn't know it exists! Wild, wild set of priorities on information sharing. Bester has been a literally mortal threat to them all, G'Kar has never been a threat to any of them but Londo. And that was fair anyhow. 

A shadow body? Or a different species that's allied? I thought the shadows were multi-limbed, spindly things.

Not just one person in a tube, but over a  hundred! Ivanova called them sleeper tubes, but Dr Franklin calls them cryotubes. 

They have impants on either side of their cerebral cortexes, the lady they were waking up slowly came to screaming and asking why they were doing this. Bester identifies her as "a blip," a telepath who refused to take suppressants or join the corps. This lady is P-11 or P-12. 

And she has a terrible nightmare/flashback to what looks to be three individuals, the same species as the unidentified body they found earlier. Leaning towards species allied with the shadows. 

P-12 lady made herself a nest of wires? And first thing she tries to do is lure Bester in and attack him. Good instincts, lol. And she's in pain, she says. Bester claims she has no reason attack him or sabotage the station by ripping out all the wires, and she automatically shoots at Bester's PsiCorps broach. 

Her name is Carolyn - I guess the shadows already got their hands on her and into her brain? Well that's harrowing. idk what her shared telepathy with Bester was about, even with Bester's explanation. He met her when she was caught and sent to the re-education center, and immediately fell in love with her. Tried to make her experience in the center better...I guess? Bigger quarters and more food. Yikes. And then he knocked her up. No mention of if she had anything to say about that?? jesus. 

Hm, Shadows use people as processing for their ships? They are acting like they've talked about it before, but it's new info to me, and horrifying info at that. 

Bester says his promise to keep her and their baby safe is the only promise he's ever made that he meant a damn. And that if they can help her, he's 100% on Sheridan's side. Handy! If they can pull it off and get those next level impants out of her or something. 

Ivanova says he'll turn on them the second it's all over and I'm inclined to believe her. Maybe he'd play nicer for longer if he achieved some of his goals for telepaths - they are the future, he says. 

Did Garibaldi finally teach himself enough Narn to read some of G'Kar's book? Good for him. 

The Shadows are weak to telepaths, hence probably the 100+ telepaths being made into ship components. And this info is so timely, because the Shadows are attacking a place right now! Telepaths! We ride at space dawn!

Kosh...

TOM propaganda:

"He's voiced by Steve Blum, he likes anime and he respects women."

"The coolest robot you'll ever meet once a week. No really. Toonami is program block that usually hosts anime but is for action cartoons in general and is on Adult Swim ever Saturday night/Sunday morning (12am-usually 3 or 4am). Anyway, here's some stuff about him specifically. He's voiced by Steve Blum doing his Spike Spiegal voice but was originally voiced by Sonny Strait. And the reason for more than one voice actor isn't just 'they decided to change his voice'. No, they gave that decision its own lore. See, T.O.M. has several different incarnations (there are T.O.M.s 1-6) that usually come to be when the current incarnation gets killed during one of the stories they show that provide said lore. He went from voiced by Sonny Strait as T.O.M. 1 pre-The Intruder, the first of these stories, to voiced by Steve Blum as T.O.M. 2-current.

Some examples of these stories have been: blob/slime like monster invades his ship and essentially eats him, his ship gets stuck in a tractor beam of a trash compactor ship that's running on pure autopilot, a sentient computer virus infects his ship (along with its AI and his best friend) so he jacks into the mainframe to fight it, that same blob/slime monster comes back years later but intelligent after his first body was properly assimilated into it, planet he and his AI friend are stranded on is threatening to implode onto itself and they have to find a way off before they go with it, the new ship they got during the last adventure gets zapped by alien lighting (? idk it was a nebulous storm that acted almost virus like) and there's time travel shenanigans involved and everyone is traumatized a bit, their ship gets hacked and forced to come the space station where robots that look just like T.O.M. are being made as...basically slave labor bots and he has to work to shut the place down and free them. They also get incredibly traumatized in that one too, but because of how little story there's been since then you wouldn't be able to tell by first glance.

Anyway, he also looks cool, with his third incarnation being the fan favorite for having a shape that looks like it has muscles? IDK man. He usually just has a 'visor' for a face, taking place where a human's facial features would go...except for one time he had both eyes and mouth which fans didn't like. I don't mind that incarnation though cuz I grew up with him. Plus, through means we still don't have the full answer to, that incarnation has actually been revealed to be like a twin/clone of the aforementioned T.O.M. 3. Like they have the same memories up until their 'birth' and stuff. For his current body (and honestly my favorite cuz he looks cool :)) T.O.M. 6, he has a cool feature with his visor in which projected images can be shown through, like when they had him wearing a digital costume during Halloween two years in a row that had a flaming jack o' lantern on it.

Personality wise- he's sardonic and cool, but actually also a big nerd. He's also a very loyal friend. If you were his best friend and got corrupted by evil, he'd try literally everything before taking action against you (like he did in aforementioned story about time travel). This loyalty could also be a bad thing as sometimes he puts his loved ones' needs over his own, letting himself get sacrificed so the others can get to safety. He's also an avid gamer. One who canonically raged quit Dark Souls and threw a game out the airlock cuz he couldn't get past one of the levels no matter how many times he tried.

A karaoke program insulted his singing during one of the stories and for years fans (or at least I was) were convinced because of this that he couldn't sing until an intro for the block like last year where he sang like five seconds of a sea shanty and it sounded pretty good.

Uhhh what else... IDK man I just really like him... I love this traumatized weeb robot in space and hopefully this all was a good reasoning as to why. He's so cool. Look up 'Toonami Total Immersion Events' if you can, those are the stories I mentioned."

More Than The Day Before

pairing: timeskip! kita shinsuke x fem!reader

content warnings: none! just some fluff for my sweet boy. 🥺 he deserves the world 🤍🖤

masterlist. navigation.

Shinsuke’s hand felt sweaty in your grasp as you led him up the hill that overlooked the Kita Family Farm. He had come home to your shenanigans without as much as a moment of wait or hesitation, asking when you had secured the blindfold, aka his favorite tie, over his eyes, “What’s all this?”

When you reached the hillside, still hand-in-hand, you took a moment to make sure everything was in place. The lights had been carefully strung and the picnic blanket had been spread below, perfect for today’s special surprise. You knew it wasn’t much of a surprise, given he knew the lay of the land like the back of his hand. He could deny it all he wanted, but he knew without a doubt where you both were standing, just like you had just a couple years ago when you tied the knot at this very location. You beamed with joy, both at the memory and at the excitement of tonight, while carefully taking the blindfold off of his eyes, “Happy Anniversary, farmer boy.”

Shinsuke opened his hazel eyes, gently smiling at the scene laid out before him before turning to look at you in admiratioin. He chuckled softly, “Farmer boy? That’s a nickname I haven’t heard since we were dating in college.”

You shrugged, “What can I say? I think the term husband seems to roll off the tongue better.”

He gave you a playful look at your teasing before replying, “I think so as well.” He then took your hand in his, suddenly pulling you into his broad chest before teasingly whispering, “Shall we dance?”

You were quick to become flustered and then to panic, your eyes growing wide in realization that you had left the portable radio on the tractor seat. Music! How could I have forgotten something so important? “Dance? But I didn’t bring a radio or music out here for-”

He was quick to cut you off, pressing a finger to your lips and pressing a kiss to your forehead, “Shhh. Listen to the cicada’s song and the gentle whisper of the wind as it rustles the leaves.” You were both silent for a moment, listening to the sounds of the approaching nightfall. You could hear the brook in the nearby woods babbling out a warbled tune, the birds chirping a goodnight to each of their chicks, and the faint hint of frogs croaking in the background. “Do you hear it?” he asked. When you nodded, he snaked a calloused hand around your waist, to the small of your back, pulling you impossibly closer to him, “That can be our music. Now, dance with me, my love.”

You both swayed to no beat in particular, content to be in each other’s embrace, casually watching as the sun sank below the distant mountains. While you were far from a waltz, Shinsuke was sure to keep you on your toes, offering to spice things up every now and then. He twirled you across the blanket and around the small meadow, making sure to press a kiss to either your lips or tip of your nose just before and after every twirl or dip, whispering sweet nothings all the while.

It wasn’t too often that Shinsuke was this soft, but when he was, you were always in for a night of bliss and belonging. The love shining in his eyes was all for you, just like his calloused hands, and rugged voice as it hummed a soft melody, a song you had heard him whistle out in the fields for years, yet never revealed the name of. “It’s all for you,” he would say. In fact, since you had become his, he swore with every passing day that he loved you a little more than the day before. And every single day, you’d reply that it was impossible, for no one could over outlove the way Shinsuke Kita loved you, not even himself.

What about the thoughts of the rest of the monkey cohort? How do they deal with an agent of chaos as a senior?

i'll address this peripherally in hou-shifu's pov and further in dbd, bc those thoughts have evolved over the years.

you can catch hints of it in the writing so far.

ch 3: not much interaction, but they're willing to fistfight other disciples when zyx was being menaced (pre-zl cage match). it's not a case of 'that's our shixiong and mad respect' but a combo of 'this weird little kid is... well. that's our shixiong and we gotta live with that. and now that we live here we can't have you insulting our house' and 'this kid is younger than us and knows nothing even if they are a 'prodigy', we need to protect them'. something of the like.

ch 5: get hints that the monkey cohort has a good working relationship, enough to pal around and just get into general shenanigans, but zyx still stands apart from them and unconsciously keeps them at arms' length. lucky for zyx, the other members of the cohort are easy-going enough (or i hope it seems that way, despite their pettiness) that they kinda just... :/ 'i guess shixiong's just on another level' and both parties were not trying to close the distance.

ch 7: you get another hint that the cordial working relationship between zyx and their juniors isn't as cold and lacking of connection as zyx thinks. little things bleed through, esp if you've been working w someone long enough. the cohort all know about zyx's thing with zl, they know enough about what would make zyx break with laughter.

(there's a whole thing about disciple selection that i need to go into for hou-shifu's pov that will glue this all together

it would be so easy to have some young 'prodigy' become the outcast due to oddness, disparity of ability, attitude, blah blah - but the key ingredients that make things mesh well enough on shuangfeng is 1) the type of disciples picked 2) the sect's focus and guiding principles 3) zyx's personality and 4) their background in academia.)

ch 8: playfulness and connection - now they know for certain that their shixiong is a little weirdo and relishes in being so. has their neuroses and habits that make them just a regular person, not some built-up 'prodigy'. any shenanigans they do, it's never at the expense of their cohort, and there's always some benefit (apparently ppl find me fun irl). like having a team mascot. or a little pet, except once in a while you realize this pet holds a lot of power over you and you gotta respect it.

i guess a good way to contrast it is, you know the type of da-shixiong that wwx is? super friendly and popular, teasing big bro to all? always at the forefront?

that's not zyx. they are involved with everything by virtue of being just noticeable enough to be called on, but normally not at the heart of drama so people don't think too much of what they tell them. a good, dependable teammate to have. they don't actively get involved with things, but they don't shirk their duties. the biggest scandal was the ch 9/ch 10 punishment (and ch 3 fistfight).

surprisingly, it's not always chaos around zyx. they're pretty good at avoiding situations like that. the chaos comes when drama can't be avoided, and is focused on them like an alien tractor beam

actually, the rest of the cohort is messier than zyx most of the time

#inquiry #Anonymous #on dbd #on mrts #look i know all the drama bc i'm not a messy bitch(tm) thus people confide in me #the chaos is peripheral #also if ppl don't like me (don't like zyx) #they usually put me out of their mind unless they have to interact #and then they'll just avoid me #bc i don't go out of my way to deal with all people

Okay soo...I brought this up during “The Forge” but I kinda want to revisit it?

Alright so...Space Ghost got bored with fighting intergalactic threats so he got Moltar, Zorak and Brak to help him a late night talk show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, with Moltar directing, Zorak providing music and Brak...Providing more commentary? Either way the show hit but Moltar hatches a different plan. So he goes creating something called a CYLDE. A Satalite drone designed to travel to our planet and broadcast things to the Cartoon Network. what was broadcasted? Toonami. A cartoon show that aired superior action on an after school block. And it was a hit...However I guess some complications came up so he couldn’t broadcast Toonami anymore. But rather then let Toonami die...He came into contact with the Absolution and on it a Droid by the name of Tom. After some talks Tom agreed to take up the reigns of broadcasting Toonami to The Cartoon Network. rebranding himself as the “Toonami.Operations.Module” he goes about the cosmos broadcasting superior anime action...And somewhere in the interim he bought a new body for himself because getting around the absolution was kind of a hassle for a short stubby body. However all was not well and the Absolution get an Intruder...That eats a good chunk of the engine block and then eats him where the ships resident A.I, SARA, uploads his consciousness to the spare body.  from there he ejects the Intruder to deep space, contacts his nearest ship repair depot, gets some new engines and goes to business as usual. then he gets trapped in a tractor beam in a ship grave yard. trapped in hyperspace by a rouge A.I named Swayzak and then SARA gets kidnapped by an alien, Absolution gets blown up, he get’s a new body and then kills the alien with a fork gets a NEW absolution but then the block is moved to Saturdays. ...And then Boston Bomb Scare happened which promoted some changes at The Cartoon Network...I can only guess a dispute happened cause TOM then takes the Absolution elsewhere...where then Cartoon Network had to get bring on three other robots to run toonami. TOM 4, Flash and D. However things didn’t turn out well...And Cartoon Network pulled the plug on Toonami...

And then three years later....April 1st TOM hijacks [Adult Swim] to bring back SUPERIOR ANIME ACTION for ONE NIGHT. And then came back Months later! for real this time! But still in the TOM 3 body...But then he got a New Body, a new ship. The Intruder came back...Killed SARA. TOM blew the new ship. got stuck on a Planet and broadcasted Toonami from there. Moltar contacted TOM only to tell him off and leave forever ( R.I.P Clay Martin Croker). Then worms invaded, but that was to tell TOM that the planet was about to blow up. turns out the base, The Vindication, they were occupying was actually a ship and thus they blast off with the last surviving member of the Worms, Georgia. But then TIME SHENANIGANS as TOM is switched with his future to Stop a Mad SARA from kill ALL ORGANIC LIFE...And Suceeds and switches back with his Future self and all is well...

...Then the Vindication is taken to The Forge where apparently TOMs body came from. And turns out the Vindication is an Artifact from something call the Gravity Wars. TOM doesn’t give a shit kicks ass, DIES, Gets a new body, Kicks Ass, sends the other TOMs away on the Vindication and then kills everybody who worked on the Forge.

The Report Card – Fantasy High Sophomore Year Ep 15

Love Wins!

Welcome to an insanely chaotic episode of Fantasy High--even by the very high standards of this show.  How chaotic you may ask? Well, the first thing that happens is that Bill Seacaster point blank shoots Gilear to death for being in a relationship with Hilariel. Full dead. He is full dead. Strangely, his plan to bring him back as a janky devil does not do much to comfort Fig. Imagine that.

Bill’s pirates are looting the Bottomless Pit (Gorthalax’s domain in Hell) and Vraz orders Fig to make them stop. When she instead orders Vraz to eat her ass, Vraz nullifies all warlock deals Gorthalax made and brings none other than Johnny Spells (and his greaser pals) to join the fight!

Really, this fight is insane and it’s better served by a highlight real than a play by play so I’m just gonna give you some bullets:

All the PCs rolled super low initiative this fight which really kinda screwed them. Like Fabian was down to 16 HP one point and it was like, “Lol, this is the end of round 1.” YIKES.

A big part of this fight was just surviving long enough to get to the second level of hell and rescue Riz’s dad which I think was probably good for morale because the thought of this fight dragging on for more than a couple of rounds exhausts me. 

Fabian rolls off against Johnny right off the bat for the Hangman’s loyalty and Fabian wins with a 25 (and by coming out the gate with the word ENSLAVED which isn’t the word *I* would have used but a 25 is a 25 I guess).

He also has to contend with fighting Allistair who has a massive hole in his head filled with fire from Wicklaw eating his brain. It seems like Chungledown Bim is in hell too based on how Allistair keeps saying he’s gonna get him so he can shit in Fabian’s mouth. Of course, Fabian gets the better of him, but not before he deals out a fair bit of damage. 

Adaine uses an Arcane Hand plus her portent roll to just whole-ass throw Johnny off the ship. Like, he gets back up but it’s so funny to instead of fighting an enemy to just throw him off a set piece (see eg: Bloodkeep ep2).

Kristen Revivifies Gilear and Bill, the mercurial sunuvabitch is like, “We love the same woman! I just want her happy!” and gives him a gun. Kristen immediately is like, “Bro, you need to hide,” and Gorgug protects him while he does so (in a sarcophagus that has a 50/50 shot of being launched as ammo). 

Penelope shows up to the fight, eyes all black, wearing a shredded prom dress, and with shards of silver embedded in her forehead like a crown. Dayne and Daybreak also join the fight as messed up Harvestmen! It’s a veritable Smash Bros lineup of people the Bad Kids have killed!

Adaine and Fabian are christened the “Posh Squad” which is important to me, not to the fight. 

Adaine gets to counterspell a counterspell from Penelope, one of the sexiest things you can do in D&D.

Fabian declares toxic masculinity dead. Shortly afterward, he makes Brennan eat a die when Daybreak tries to Frighten Fabian, a condition he is immune to due to his eyepatch I gather based on the table reaction. 

Daybreak’s punishment in hell is a complete lack of self-awareness of why he’s there. He still thinks he should be sipping Mai-Tai’s in corn heaven with Helio while Kristen and Ragh are attacking him with gay spit (their words, not mine). Gay spit and, also, a ton of radiant and thunder damage.

Ragh gets some emotional catharsis by getting to body Dayne before Gorgug decapitates him. Very important step in the stages of grief. Decapitating the source of said grief. 

Penelope gets Sparta-kicked off the edge of the boat by Fabian after Ayda dispels her protective globe and Riz shoots Daybreak again for old times sake. Unfortunately, Penelope Misty Steps back up and Daybreak is hurt but not killed. Ayda does a cool Dr. Strange teleportation thing and does a bunch of damage to both of them. Fabian finishes off Penelope with a sheet/sword combo and between Booming Blade and a Psionic Blast (does she have this ability as a Bard or as a Warlock? Relatedly, when she felt something leave her was that her Warlock deal being nullified or was she feeling the deals leave her since she is sort of the temporary Gorthalax?) Fig destroys Daybreak. Johnny just falls off the ship with no PC intervention because he sucks. 

Bill also falls off the ship but Fig (with an assist from Gorgug) saves him and steals a scroll from Vraz on the way back up. By the by, earlier in the fight, she also had Baby Invisbly steal a random item from her. 

Anyway, as they reach the end of the end of the fight, Bill loads Riz into a canon (!) and shoots him into the city, hopefully towards his dad (to the distress of his party). He crashes through the window in a familiar looking building and, when he finds a hallway that he’s pretty sure leads to his dad, he goes towards it. 

He sees a familiar light coming out of a doorway (the interrogation room light) and a doorway next to it that is slightly open with steel thrones in it. There’s a two-way mirror between the two rooms and if he goes into the open one, he can see who is in with his dad. After checking for illusions and finding none, he stealthily walks in and sees, in the other room, his dad with a hulking pit fiend (30 ft tall, winged, almost dragon-y devil).

The pit fiend is questioning Pok about any regrets he had in life and Pok answers very uncharacteristically from the man we saw in the video saying he had nothing but high hopes for baby Riz. He says he had no regrets, his job was just a job, and that he only had a kid because Sklonda wanted one before going into a snarling goblin rage. The pit fiend smiles at that and says that Pok has promise so they won’t create a lemure out of him (a lemure is a weak, blobby devil). Two devils in the room with them whip him unconscious and then leave the room to go send more people to deal with Bill.

Riz Misty Steps into the room and does a self-imposed Wisdom check to steady himself after what he just heard--Nat 20 baby. Then, he opens his Briefcase of Holding, ready to scoop his dad into it when, the two lesser devils open the door and catch him in the act. But Riz persists in the scooping. They try to grapple him and he rolls a Nat 1 to avoid it. He *still* tries to get him dad. But then he notices, his gun is missing.

BLAM. The devils heads are blown clean off. He turns and he sees his dad has taken the gun--his gun originally--and shot the devils. Pok, who is amazed that Riz is there and no longer feigning apathy for the situation asks for an extraction into an earpiece, causing a halo to appear over his head and a beam of holy light to come down like a tractor beam.

“Wait,” says Riz. “You’re an undercover angel?”

“You got it, kid.”

Murph goes feral. The table goes feral. I go feral. What a way to end an episode!  

And now for an all-Dad round of superlatives:

Detention

Bill Seacaster for KILLING GILEAR 

I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself here. 

Honor Roll

Pok Gukgak for Officially Joining the Fantasy Fathers of the Year Club

Here either. 

I will, however, add a Hell Yeah!

Random Thoughts

If you haven’t seen it yet, the trailer for S5 of Dimension 20 just dropped and I won’t spoil it but, from the looks of it, it is gonna be a doozy.  

“Do not metagame with my freaking Dad!” Oh to have the support of an NPC Emily Axford has decided to imprint upon.

Gorgug: It’s been one year. We’re sophomores. 

“We support you as a DM and as your friend but also you’re our enemy.”

I think it’s very interesting that with just a little space and time from his dad, Fabian is finally having the proper reactions to his dad doing what I will charitably call shenanigans.

The level of distress and outrage from Emily when Gilear got shot was just *chef’s kiss*. I aspire to create an NPC that provokes that level of reaction from one of my players. Similar energy in a different direction from Ally when Daybreak attacked Tracker.    

“Adaine, the jocks are being feisty! Get out of there!”

Vraz calls Fig “the Faithless” as her devil title and she insists on instead being called, “the InFaethable”. I wanna know how long Emily’s been sitting on that one or whether she came up with it on the spot. 

Fabian upon seeing Johnny: Fuck off dude. I have too much going on right now. 

Brennan being the eternal DM mood: How do I get out of this?

Very wild how little time has passed since Leviathan. Like, Fabian’s had this whole arc and grown so much but, like, OF COURSE Allistair still wants to murder him! It’s been like two days. 

“I want to crumple up Gilear like a wrapper.”

A seven is a Murph 10.

The very specific way Brennan does foley for sword fighting (“Clang! Cling! Clang!”) is so funny to me. 

Cannot overstate how much of a power move it was for Kristen to go, “I’ve been PRAYING FOR YOU,” at Daybreak and knock him on his ass. 

I feel like I bring this up all the time but I love when Brennan is counting dice for a ton of damage and all the PCs are BSing reasons that it’s not a big deal like, “He’s just getting D4s,” or “Well I should get advantage for the reason just made up,” with everyone else fully playing along. ”

Allistair Ash, man. He is fascinating to me. I am so curious about what Brennan had planned for him originally because I feel like we barely scratched the surface before things took a TURN. He had two little moments in this ep that made my heart break for him a little: (1) When he says to Fabian, “If I die, I just come back a little bit worse but, if you die, you’re stuck down here with me.” and (2) when Fabian kills him and Bill grabs his soul and is like, “You know it’s gonna cost you X gold to revive you,” and he sighs and says, “Put it on my tab I suppose.” Like, I know he spent all ep trying to kill Fabian but I can’t help but be like, poor guy. He just has this pathos in his haplessness. I’m surprised Fabian didn’t make more of an effort to connect with him instead of being like, kind of like, “I will throw hands if I must.” Talking is a free action my dude. Anyway, I would love to see Brennan’s DM notes for this guy.   

Lou was really doing some expert D&D with all the second winding and bonus actioning and burning spell slots for extra damage he was doing. He was like, “My initiative is trash so I have to do approximately a million damage per turn.”

Lol at Ayda asking if it’s weird to talk about sex stuff in front of friends in a group that involves both Kristen and Adaine. 

Fig wishing she could do something cool in front of Ayda as if Ayda didn’t try to flood Hell on her behalf last week. My girl. You’ve already locked that down.

Not really an issue that’s we’ll run across during the run of FH but tieflings live 20-40 years longer than humans according to the official D&D lore. So lets say Fig lives to be 120 years old. And let’s say she sticks with her high school girlfriend and marries her. It’s possible they die at around the same time and then Ayda has to Deal With That in her next life but that’s not what I’m interested in. What happens if you’re a full elderly woman and your partner phoenixes into a child? What are the ethics of that? How do you deal with that? Chronomancy?

The horrified, “Love wins!” from Daybreak.

 Is there a reason the viewing room Riz was in had thrones in it or is Hell just very about the ~aesthetic~

Every time a DM asks for a HP total, my entire being clenches in prep for a Power Word Kill. 

“I’m gonna need a Dexter--”/”Counterspell.”

“You guys murdered me too but we hashed it out.”

I totally forgot that the Bad Kids lied that Ragh had shat his pants until the moment Adaine was saying it this episode. Freshman Year was WILD.

Also, just wanna take a second to talk about the elevation of Ragh from this side-note bully to a fully fledged, likeable character with depth and and an arc and gay spit. D&D is crazy. 

Summoning Boggy via Bloody Mary is such a delightful image. 

So, Kalina is the one that led Riz down the path that led to him finding out Pok is an Undercover Angel (!!!), which means one of three things: (1) She knew but miscalculated hard, (2) she didn’t know and made a different but also big miscalculation, (3) she did know and she’s doing some kind of 4-D chess thing we don’t know about yet. 

Ayda hitting Fabian with a portent and then swooping in and saving Adaine. So clutch. What a good NPC to befriend.

Speaking of, I think we all kinda figured, but Brennan officially said on Twitter or the Discord (I don’t remember which) that Ayda is autistic. Like, I was pretty sure but I didn’t wanna assume.

Lol at the absolute lack of respect Kalvaxus got in this episode. 

Pok as an Undercover Angel is SO GOOD. Like, I didn’t think he was really bad for a second but I never could have guessed he was an UNDERCOVER ANGEL. That’s such a dope combination of words. Undercover Angel (which my computer keeps trying to correct to undercover agent which isn’t wrong to be fair). Man. I love this. I love this for me and I love this for Riz. Riz deserves this. After so much crap in his life and so many mind games from Kalina and all this turmoil, he deserves to know that not only is his dad a good person who loved/loves him, he’s SO good that he’s an ANGEL and he was such a good spy in life he still is a secret agent in death. God, what a reveal. I can’t believe Riz got Spy Kids-ed TWICE by the same parent. Can’t wait to hear what exactly is going on with him.

Wait, what’s goblin heaven like? Which god is sanctioning this? Who is he working for exactly?

This episode, Kristen and Gorgug rolled 1 Nat 20 each, while Riz, Fabian, and Brennan each got 2. On the flipside, Adaine got 2 Nat 1’s, Fig and Fabian each rolled 1 that was cancelled, and Riz rolled 1 (in addition, Murph rolled two more which were lair actions and one of which was cancelled by a luck point so they don’t really count but it was very funny so I wanted to note it).

You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆

Meme Question (answer privately if you'd like a serious question): How would your OC try to free the Ever Given, the massive cargo ship that blocked the Suez Canal (and disrupted 12% of global trade) in early 2021?

Hmmm... That one's hard to go into without giving out a major spoiler to my current wip. So how about I just come up with some nonsense? How about one of the crew members is secretly an alien studying human industrialism and discreetly calls his ship for backup and they do some tractor beam shenanigans to get the ship out of there. Everybody is freaking out while the alien-in-disguise just finds their wild fear hilarious and endearing. (Now I kind of want to see a story for this, any takers? Feel free.)

A Fix-It to Canon

At the interest of @ieshavevo here is my extensive fix-it to vld!

So, uh, wouldn’t change much about seasons 1 and 2, those are actually pretty solid seasons. At best, I would adjust season 1 to be a bit longer, including an episode where they travel to an old colony planet of Alteans to really set in that Allura and Coran are the last of the Alteans. In season 2 I would add an episode later on, mostly revolving around the adjustment of Voltron working with the Blade, to get a sense of the two having a rough start working together.

Also, I’d have a slight change in focus, with more knowledge that Voltron is a myth and nobody really believes in it or has hope in season 1, leading up to the initial assault on the empire’s central command. From there, season 2 is the universe taking notice, word spreading that Voltron is back and is fighting against the empire and Zarkon, and winning.

Then, there would be a little more to season 3, with a slower start that’s time without Shiro and time with only four of the lions. There’d be more people starting to fight back, more planets and systems rebelling against the empire, and word spreading that Zarkon faced off against Voltron and lost. There’d be, as well, time for adjustment after the lion swap. A “Some Assembly Required 2.0” episode. 

Speaking of, the Lion Swap wouldn’t be Keith into Black or Lance into Red. I’d put Lance in Black, and Allura in Blue. Honestly there would be discussion about Allura taking up the role, and a little about Keith being Shiro’s pick, but ultimately it would be Lance. Allura taking on the title of Black Paladin would be something permanent instead of temporary, and Keith doesn’t want it and isn’t a good fit. 

There would be a name-drop of an Empress Merla in the alternate Altean Empire reality, for later on. Lotor, too, would have more of a plan in motion, and would be the source of the Zaiforge Cannons as a show of his progression of the empire in his rule. There would be more buildup toward Naxzela, as well, with Voltron coming across a planetary particle barrier and an Altean terraforming device. Haggar’s entire plan toward Naxzela would be made more clear when it happens, that this is her revenge for the plan that took down Zarkon. She will take down every single rebel faction, Voltron included, in a massive show of force to ensure that there is no more opposition. 

Lotor’s plans will be more about establishing his own foothold as a progressive leader and shift toward a more peaceful rule over the universe. He’ll buy into the Galra Empire’s superiority, but only so far that he can change it into being more sustainable and infinitely less likely to end up consuming itself as more and more planets are killed for their quinessence. 

Voltron finds the rebels, learning that former smugglers Rolo, Nyma, and Beezer joined their ranks. Matt is discovered among their numbers, having had to fake his death in a massive battle to avoid having a bounty on his head collected. 

As for Operation Kuron… the Shiro that returns to Voltron is the real, original Shiro. He’s got programming in his arm, something that wasn’t there before, that makes me more willing to gather every single rebel in on one huge attack on Naxzela and the surrounding systems. 

Something that his clone, Ryou, very nearly succeeded in doing just before the Blue Lion was found. Ryou will be Shiro’s clone, sent into the rebels when they were gathering and a mighty force, with no initial clue that he’s a clone. The “trash nebula” that Pidge crashes into ends up being revealed as the remains of the rebel fleets when Kuron brought Zarkon down upon them. Ryou, in the battle, took damage to the head and to the robot arm, which disabled the mind control and left him realizing everything. 

The rebels are scattered, but they’re coming back together, and under Voltron they can do so much more than they could before. 

Anyway, Naxzela happens, and Lotor in the process of avoiding Haggar gets pushed into going on the run and negotiating his surrender to Voltron. There’s big blowback on Voltron’s side, with the Coalition not wanting to be so into bargaining with Lotor, the rebels wanting to dispose of him, and Voltron wanting to keep him prisoner. Time passes, and with it Haggar brings back Zarkon to right all the failures of Lotor’s rule. 

Lotor and the Generals split, the Generals with Narti (who is comatose following the attempt by Haggar to mind control her), untle the Generals realize that they need Voltron and to return to Lotor. So they pick up a human prisoner that some value to trade for their safety: Keith’s Dad. 

What they don’t know, is that Keith’s Dad is also Acxa’s Dad, and it’s revealed that their shared mother is Lotor’s dead sister, Marmora. 

Keith, angry at his father for abandoning him, avoids the man. 

Lotor gets closer to the Paladins, and with it he reveals more about his life: his time ruling over a planet that Zarkon destroyed, and even that he’s got Sam Holt working for him in a special work camp full of scientists working for Lotor. He’s one of the scientists who worked toward reverse engineering the teludav and that it can reopen the rift on Daibazaal. Sam helps to convince the Paladins that Lotor isn’t all bad and that he can be trusted. Acxa reveals that she had the bounty placed on Matt to return him to the Empire so he could be reunited with his father. Both Sam and Keith’s Dad are sent back to Earth. 

Lotor manages to gain their favor in time to call upon a Kral Zera: an honor battle for the throne of the empire. He fights against Zarkon, almost gaining the win until Haggar intervenes, nearly taking full control over Shiro. Somewhere in the time Lotor’s under Voltron’s care, Sendak comes back, and is as honorable Galra as ever. He begins having doubts about Zarkon’s leadership when Haggar intervenes to “force” a win. Haggar, meanwhile, takes Sendak to act as her protector. 

Allura looks into her powers, looking and training with Lotor’s aid, to the point that they all go to Oriande. There, they find the Protector of the White Lion, Queen Melenor. Allura learns of the true origin of Voltron, and is given the opportunity to learn the secrets of Alchemy. However, Haggar uses her control over Shiro to learn about Oriande and attacks it, causing Lotor to become suspicious of the Paladins. Melenor is lost in the attack, but passes on her role of Guardian to Allura. Allura trains with her powers, managing to capture a druid and interrogate it about their origins and powers. There, they learn that the druids are actually the research team Honerva led. 

The Coalition and rebels are furious about Voltron’s gamble, straining Voltron’s allies into breaking from their alliance. One of the rebels, Romelle, makes an attempt on Lotor, revealing herself as Altean and pushing Lotor into revealing that the planet he was in control over was an Altean colony. She claims that he is behind the death of the planet and all the Alteans on it, with herself as the only surviver, forcing Voltron to follow Allura’s lead and attack Lotor. 

Lotor flees with the Generals, all of them going toward the rift gate as the last safe place to lay low and hide until everyone fights each other and then they can emerge from the ashes and rebuild everything better. Unfortunately, Haggar used her connections to Narti and Shiro to learn the location of the rift gate and continued working on it. Haggar begins to activate the rift gate, and to distract Voltron takes full control over Shiro. Shiro comes along to Sendak’s side, and they manage to keep the Paladins distracted. Ultimately, Shiro, with the help of the Paladins, is broken free of Haggar’s control and fights Sendak to a standstill. 

Sincline and Voltron fight, with the Paladins thinking that all of this is Lotor’s fault. The two battle, until they both are hit and the Sincline caught in a tractor beam. Through the rift comes a number of ships, all Altean in design. 

Empress Merla has arrived, intent on bringing the Altean Peace to this and every other universe. Haggar goes to her side, claiming her old self as Honerva, while Lotor and the Sincline is captured. Merla created her own prototype gate using a teludav built by the Sincline Comet of her own reality, as found on her Oriande. Being obsessed with Honerva’s studies, Merla accepts Haggar to her side. The Generals manage to escape, Sendak flees back to Zarkon’s side to report about the arrival of the Alteans, and Voltron flees. 

With no allies and their name sullied by their siding with Lotor, Voltron flies to Earth to hide and recouperate. There, the Paladins nearly separate, returning to their families and reconsidering their duties and resolve. Meanwhile, Merla has taken up the trust and leadership of the Coalition, although there is a deal of mistrust within the rebels. She expands her presence, using the Hoktril to control and silence anyone who would dare dissent. Lotor, in his prison, looks upon Merla and sees everything that he was working toward. 

Shiro gets a new arm built. Keith gets quiet reconciliation with his father. Hunk discovers that he’s become so much braver than before. Lance reconnects with his family, and finds he misses space. Allura and Coran get into some lighthearted Earth shenanigans with each of the Paladins, maybe visit a zoo while they’re at it. Lance reaches out to Shiro, and speaks about his time leading Voltron, and also that he has more about his sexuality than he thought. There’s a small confession of feelings, and they decide to enjoy their time together, going on a date. 

They all find they miss traveling through space and realize that it is their love of the universe that brought them to fight for it, and that their failures do not define them. Also, they decide, when this is all over and done with they’ll go on a road trip across the universe. 

The Galaxy Garrison does their best to run the Paladins around any actual duties, until it’s revealed that the GG is reaching out toward Merla, and building their own Voltron out of fifteen vehicles. The Paladins gather together, fleeing Earth after a brief clash with Vehicle Voltron. The clash leaves doubt in the pilots and various members of the GG about the alliance with Merla. 

Voltron is on the run now, reaching out to old allies, finding the Hoktril in place on those planets. 

The rebels build their own Gladiator Voltron to protect against Merla after discovering the existence of the Hoktril. They take their team and Gladiator Voltron and flee, going to help others and join back up with Voltron. The Coalition shows unease at Merla’s rule. 

Merla clashes with Haggar, who takes the prototype teludav made of the Sincline Comet and is working on something. Haggar takes the upper hand, sending Merla on the defensive and fleeing back to Zarkon, revealing that she’s been playing both sides and that despite her past as Honerva, Haggar is her true self and her ends are her own to achieve. 

Lotor escapes, broken out of his prison by his own engenuity and with the help of his Generals. Narti, now awake, joins in as the five flee in the Sincline to find Voltron and warn them. 

Zarkon’s own rule over the Empire is crumbling, more and more of his subordinates showing a lack of faith and trust and obedience in him. Haggar proposes her new rift gate, and that they use the rift creatures within to cement Zarkon’s rule. 

Everyone is on the move, the forces gathering and reaching out to Voltron. Merla begins sending out combat mechas, ones originally prototyped under Merla and improved by Haggar, to sow fear and attempt to regain control. Sendak defects from Zarkon, finding Voltron and Sincline and fighting Shiro, this time to Shiro’s win. Sendak’s sense of honor is such that Zarkon’s win at the Kral Zera was dishonerable and while he does still hate Voltron, he would rather see someone with true Galra Honor like Lotor seated upon the throne of the Empire instead of Zarkon. 

Lotor reaches out to Voltron, and in the process finally tells Acxa, Keith, and the rest of the various allies about Marmora and the circumstances of her death. Marmora had gone to Earth, then returned, and with it Haggar had placed a same kind of mind control as Shiro and Narti were victims to. Through her, Zarkon had learned of the true method Lotor was using to rule over the Altean planet Pollux. Romelle had managed to escape, but what she saw was Lotor watching Pollux burn. In his panic, Lotor had killed his sister, and since then has regretted his actions and worked toward the peace that she had wanted for the Empire. 

Lotor has decided that while he will stand up as the new leader of the Galra, the Empire reduced and dismantled down into a small number of systems capable of safely being the new home of the Galra. He will not see the Galra as conquerors, and will not see the Empire continue to exist. Sendak shared what he learned about Zarkon’s plans, while Lotor and the Generals share what knowledge they’ve gained about Merla and, more importantly, Haggar’s plans. 

The prep for the final battle begins, with Voltron’s return to the stage by battling Merla’s mechas, and even joining in with the Gladiator Voltron. Vehicle Voltron turns up, Earth and the rest of the Coalition having defected away from Merla. Together, Allura and Lotor discover a means of breaking the Hoktril, and dig deeper into Voltron’s past. 

They learn about the rift creatures, beings of Chaos and Void, and of the Defenders that fought against it: the Lions, the Sincline, and the Oriande. Oriande is discovered to be what the White Lion is named, and is the Paladin of Light. Sincline is similar, and its Paladin of Dark. They, along with Voltron, are the Seven Paladins of Creation, the Defenders of the Universe. They learn that the Cosmic Abyss is where the Ancients come from, who began the universe and where Voltron called home. The great calamity that turned it into the Cosmic Abyss is from when the rift creatures touched it, and Voltron and Sincline battled it and ended up as the comets scattered around the universe. 

Allura is established as the leader of the Coalition. 

Lotor becomes the true Emperor of the Galra Empire. 

The Blade makes contact, having managed to gain knowledge of where the final battle will happen. 

Haggar enacts her rift gate, letting loose the Void Creatures from the rift. Zarkon takes one of the creatures within himself, transforming into a robeast that battles off Merla’s own attack. 

THe heroes arrive, fighting the Void Creatures. Voltron is joined by Sincline, Vehicle Voltron, Gladiator Voltron, the rebels, the Blade, and the Coalition. Allura directs them all from the Castle, until she brings the Castle into the battle. Merla and her remaining mechas join as well, realizing that she’s failed and when this is over she will have to stand for her crimes in both this universe and her own. From inside the rift, more realities join in: the Guns of Gamara, and even other version of Voltron from different realities. 

The Castle transforms, Allura realizing that she has passed on the White Lion spirit into the Castle of Lions itself. They join the battle, and gain the upper hand. Voltron fights Zarkon, striking him down as he leads the Void Creatures. Allura and Lotor both fight Haggar, ultimately leading to her defeat. The Void Creatures are defeated, and the rift gate, now the void gate, is destroyed. 

The universe is saved.

The various other Voltrons are returned to their universes, and Merla is taken into custody by the Guns of Gamara. With the universe moving toward peace, the Paladins go and kidnap Allura and Coran, promising to return the president of the Coalition once their road trip across the universe is done. In the meantime, Vehicle Voltron prepares to go out and ensure that there continues to be peace within the Coalition and no pirates or factions of the Empire try to rise up. Gladiator Voltron prepares for a long journey around the universe, fighting for justice wherever it is needed.

And the Paladins? They finally get that road trip.

Story: Among The Stars; Chapter One - The Beginning Word Count: 1,255 Warnings: Shitty beginning? Author’s Note: I decided to start a story that I’ve had on my mind for the past week or so. I have no idea how many chapters I am going to write, but this will be a Kirk love story. This isn’t an actually x reader story, but you are more than welcome to change the name to fit your liking.

Assistant chief engineer working under Montgomery Scott. That was the role Evalynn played on the USS Enterprise. She was transferred shortly after the events of the Romulans trying to destroy the Federation planets. Evalynn remembered being on Earth, seeing the drill that threatened to destroy the entire planet. Evalynn was so close to graduating and being assigned an actual vessel, so she was more than thankful when the crew of the USS Enterprise were able to stop it. She was even more ecstatic when she was assigned to the USS Enterprise when she finished the academy.

She had been on the Enterprise for a month, the transition from academy student to ACE was smooth, thanks to a certain Chief Engineer who was her boss. Scotty is what he liked to be called, and she happily obliged. He was a rather peculiar individual, but being around him made the job fun, and on top of that, she made fast friends with Keenser as well. Working under Scotty allowed her to expand her knowledge, learning more than just the "grunt work" that came with the job. Fixing things is what fascinated the twenty-six year old woman. Breaking things apart and seeing how it was made, how it operated.

The engineering department was the perfect fit for her, and she excelled in her academic schooling. It was one of the foremost reasons she was giving the rank of assistant chief engineer. Engineering officers were generally assigned tasks that included maintaining and/or improving the performance of the warp drive, ship's database, computer processors and circuitry, holographic emitters, tractor beams, transporter components, observational equipment (such as sensors, probes, and satellites), weaponry systems, deflector array, hull plating, life support, shields and alternative defense systems, and many other crucial parts of a ship's anatomy. They were expected to tackle all the problems that drained the ship's resources or lowered its efficiency.

To say she stayed busy was an understatement.

----

"Lieutenant Jones, are you finished with those calculations for the tractor beams?" Scotty's voice caught Evalynn off guard as she felt her body jolt. A deep inhale as she turned around to allow her hazel optics to focus on the man she had grown to know. Golden brown locks of hair flowed down to mere inches from her butt, only being restrained from the pony-tail. The crimson red dress uniform hugged her features, but still leaving enough to the imagination; that she wasn't flat out uncomfortable. If she had her way, however, she would be wearing pants to hide the legs she so strongly despised.

It wasn't as if she hated the way she looked, but there were distinct aspect to herself that she would change if given the option. "Yes, Mr. Scott." Evalynn's voice was pleasant, yet had a directness to it that informed she was educated and not to be taken lightly. She knew what she was doing, and wasn't going to be second guessed. It was what made Scotty have high respect for the lieutenant, and was grounds on which their friendship had formed.

"Aye, I told ya, lassie, call me Scotty." He spoke with his usual Scottish accent, something that Evalynn absolutely adored. Loving the joys that the Federation allowed any and everyone to stand together for the same cause. Peace. No matter what their background was. Evalynn was a simple woman who hailed from Indiana, but that didn't stop her from making friends with what her ancestors would call foreigners, such as Scotty, Sulu and Chekov. Two of her best friends aboard the ship since she first joined.

It seemed that she was becoming friends with most of the crew, aside from the trio that always seemed to be near each other; Dr. McCoy, Spock and the Captain himself. Being on the starship for a month, and she still hadn't had the pleasure of meeting the famed womanizer--she heard stories about him from his academy days--Captain James T. Kirk. Although, she did pass Spock a few times during the day, and greeted the doctor when she ended up splitting open her hand trying to adjust the weaponry systems. The joys of being an engineer.

Nevertheless, she could be found somewhere around Scotty and Keenser when she wasn't working on the ship. It was part of her job description. Assisting Scotty. That also meant taking breaks with him when he allowed. The first few weeks she only took a few short breaks to finish her food and get back to work, but as of lately, she had been spending more time with Scotty and Keenser. Enjoying the shenanigans and joking they would partake in. It was exactly that which allowed her to first lay eyes on the captain when he entered the mess hall.

The food synthesizer was the best invention, according to Evalynn. She was obsessed with breakfast foods, and every time she stepped foot into the mess hall, she would have something regarding breakfast food, or pasta. "Don't you ever get tired of having the same stuff?" Scotty's tone held a hint of distaste as Evalynn bit into her breakfast burger. It held the burger, mayo, bacon, an over easy egg and hash browns all mushed together between two buns. The loaded fries completed her meal much to her contentment.

"It's not the same stuff, I get different things every day." She retorted, giving Scotty a playful grin as she swallowed the bite she was chewing. "You eat like a man." The doctor chimed in as he sat next to Scotty, opposite of her on the table. The simple declaration was enough to cause her to scrunch up her nose, a vexed look on her face as she ignored his observation. It took merely a second more for her to realize that Bones had joined them in the mess hall, at the same table. It wouldn't be long before the captain would show his face. She had never seen the Captain without Bones or Spock by his side.

Expectant eyes scanned the area for the blonde haired man, only to have a gasp escape her lips as the man himself claimed the seat that was next to her. Hazel hues locked onto him as he smiled at Bones, teasing the doctor. "What does that make you, Bones? I've never seen you eat like that." He motioned toward Evalynn's food, causing her to almost choke as she fought back the urge to laugh. It was then she felt stares on her, burning a hole through her very soul. Turning her head to face the captain, he gave her a warm smile. "Hello, I don't believe we have had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Jim, Jim Kirk." He extended a hand across his body, holding it toward her in a means to introduce himself.

"Lieutenant Evalynn Jones." She replies with mild confidence as she connected her hand with his, giving a firm handshake. "Aye, Jim, I've told you about Evalynn. She's my assistant." Scotty announced, proudly, with a hint of possession. Like he was letting Jim know that she was off limits to him. It was endearing that Scotty would try and protect her from the playboy that was Jim Kirk. So, she left it alone and didn't retaliate. Your eyes stayed on Jim for a moment, his smile unfaltering, causing her heart to skip a beat.

"It is delight to have you aboard the Enterprise, Lieutenant Jones." He all but ignored Scotty's words. "Likewise, Captain." She responded, exhaling the breath she didn't realize she was holding in.

The Coffee Protocol.

AN. Listen, there isn’t any coffee in my house and I have work soon so this post will be a mess. 

“Human Joshua Orion Beckett, please return the escape pod to the G-1867-b, escape pods are for emergency use only and your reason that ‘You’re going to the store to pick up supplies.’ Is not an emergency.” Commander W’onz said through the speaker, but it was too late, Human Josh was far enough away from the ship that he could make an escape from the tractor beams that will draw the pod back to the ship, ironically something that was added to the ship because the Humans used pods to go ‘to the store.’ regularly.

By the time the ship would have turned around, Josh would be at the Space Corps Supply Station, ‘The Store.’ 

Commander W’onz had repeatedly said that the reason he would resign and leave the Corps, would be because any human he’s worked with, are idiotic and don’t listen to orders; This incident was only evidence to his thoughts.

Human Finn, Rachael and Mick were not helping the situation. If anything they were encouraging their teammates behaviour. 

The unfortunate part about it was because the humans, they had found loopholes in the ships rules, including using escape pods when here was no emergency. 

The loophole they could use, is that if Human Josh was given permission to use the pod by the Human Ambassador and leader, Human Finn, then Human Josh would not face disciplinary actions. 

Commander W’onz was probably going to retire by years end, he was certain of that fact. 

“Why is he even going to the Supply station?” W’onz turned to the humans. 

“We’re out of coffee.” Was the answer over the radio from the Pod, before W’onz could demand that Josh returned to the ship, the radio was muted on Josh’s end and David Bowie’s Starman started playing.

Oh how this species frustrated him. He was too old for these shenanigans.

Universe Falls Preview

Heyoooo looks like this chapter is turning out to be pretty easy so far. Mostly cause my desire to get past it is fuckin strong. Either way, have some fun shenanigans in trying and failing to capture a meme dorito. Enjoy!

“Aha! There she is!” Pearl exclaimed, excitedly pointing to Peridot afar on the other side of the warp. “I was right! My plan worked perfectly!”

“Wow, and it only took five minutes to find her this time too!” Mabel said, duly impressed. “That’s a new record.”

“Good,” Dipper said with resolve as he drew the Sword of Seasons and set it to its flaming setting. “That means we can use the rest of our time actually catching her instead of looking in all the wrong places like we usually do.”

“Well, yeah, we can do that, but don’t be rude, you guys,” Steven frowned briefly before turning to Peridot with a bright smile. “Good morning!”

Of course, the green Gem’s response to this warm greeting was anything but warm itself. “Ugh! I can’t believe this! How did you know I was here?!”

“We found a secret way to track you, and we’ll never tell you what it is, even if you ask nicely!” Steven proclaimed with bold confidence as he taunted the green Gem out by sticking his tongue out impishly.

“And this time, you’re goin’ down, Peri!” Mabel quipped, brandishing her grappling hook.

“Peri?” the green Gem raised an eyebrow, apparently confused.

“Oh, you know, its like a fun little nickname!” Mabel smiled cheerfully. “Luckily for you, you have a very nicknamable name! I’ve already gotten so many out of it! There’s Peri, Dot, Dotty, Peri-D, P-Dot, Peri-do, Per-”

“Hey, Mabel, here’s an idea,” Dipper swiftly interjected, annoyed by the inappropriate timing of his sister’s rambling. “Maybe you could not give our enemies silly nicknames? Just a suggestion?”

“Aw, but where’s the fun in that?” Mabel pouted playfully before Garnet finally interjected.

“Peridot!” the Gem leader shouted, her gauntlets already at the ready to strike. “We’re here to-”

“And you’ll never get away with it!” Pearl suddenly interupted her apparently out of nowhere as she raised her spear high.

“Don’t you Gems and your pesky pet humans have anything better to do than annoy me?!” Peridot growled, stomping her foot down in obvious frustration.

“Nope,” Amethyst remarked, stretching out her whip in her hands. “We’re gonna-”

“Prepare to be annoyed!” Pearl cut the purple Gem off as well, quiet pointedly too, much to Amethyst’s confusion, as well as the kids’.

“Uh… ok…” Dipper exchanged a rather bewildered glance with Steven and Mabel at Pearl’s odd behavior before he turned to coldly address the still rather irritated Peridot. “Well, we’re not about to let you escape this ti-”

“Admit defeat now and maybe we’ll go easy on you!” the white Gem once again cut in, just as much verve in her manner as every before.

“Uh… Pearl?” Steven spoke up, somewhat concerned in light of his guardian’s over the top mannerisms.

“Ugh, I don’t have time for this!” Peridot seethed nonetheless, her free floating fingers forming themselves into a blaster that was rapidly charging with a ball of growing energy. “This planet has an expiration date and I’m not gonna stick around to find out when!”

At this, the green Gem let her blast fire, the unexpected force of it knocking her back as it went flying towards the Gems and the kids. The attack completely missed its mark, steering clear of the group on the warp pad and instead smashing into the large stone pillar directly behind them. While initially disappointed by her misfire, Peridot quickly perked up as the bulk of the pillar began to fall upon the Gems and the kids, however, they were thankfully saved from its crushing force by Steven, who summoned shield large enough to cover them all just in the nick of time. Though her attack hadn’t worked completely as expected, Peridot still let out something of a small, nervous chuckle as she picked herself up off the ground right as Pearl fiercely turned to face her again.

“That’s it!” the white Gem hissed, gripping her spear tightly. “I’m taking her out!”

“Pearl, wait!” Garnet ordered, but her teammate didn’t listen. Instead, Pearl charged, her weapon at the ready, towards Peridot, intent on finally putting an end to her longstanding nuisance. Even so, the green Gem countered her with her tractor beam, easily catching Pearl in its pale verdant glow and effectively immobilizing her as she began to spin her around freely.

“Ha! Sorry, but you’re going the wrong way!” Peridot exclaimed, flinging Pearl out of her tractor beam and back towards the group on the warp pad. Before anyone could really do much, the white Gem collided with Steven, knocking him off the pad and disabling his shield altogether. Fortunately, Garnet managed to catch the pillar that had been pressed against it, keeping it steady with her impressive strength as she urged Amethyst and the twins off the pad and out of harm’s way.

“Get her!” the Gem leader shouted, struggling to rid herself from the burden of the heavy pillar. Amethyst complied first, the twins not too far behind her until the purple Gem broke into a fast, rapid spin dash, zooming towards Peridot at a frightening speed. The green Gem barely managed to leap out of the way, leaving Amethyst to crash into the ruined remains of the Homeworld warp as Peridot made her ‘escape’, skittering across the Galaxy Warp on her disjointed fingers alone.

“Ha! You missed!” she laughed triumphantly. Her levity was cut quite short as something hard and metallic latched around the fingers of one of her hands, breaking their bizarre gravity and leaving Peridot to fall face first into the ground below her.

“But I didn’t!” Mabel happily proclaimed as her grappling hook zoomed back to her. “Your turn, bro-bro!”

Dipper didn’t even respond as he instead rushed forward, the Sword of Seasons charged with strong electricity in his grip. Peridot gasped in apt fear at the sight of the electrified blade and quickly scrambled to her feet, dashing as fast as she reasonably could to get away from it, but even so, Dipper was relentless in his pursuit to take the green Gem out once and for all.

At the same time, Pearl and Steven were both finally regathering their bearings after their rough landing off the warp pad. The white Gem herself was a good bit more dazed than her young ward, even as he began to quickly pick himself up and get back into the fight. “Pearl!” Steven exclaimed, somewhat exasperated as he nudged her weight off of him.

“O-oh, sorry!” Pearl exclaimed, flustered as she hurriedly stood as well, though by then, Steven had already taken off to peruse Peridot right alongside Dipper. The green Gem had managed to reach one of the relatively unscathed warp pads, only to receive the frustrating news that, much like all of the other pads throughout the worn-down collection, it would also be getting her, completely nowhere.

“Augh! Doesn’t anything work on this cruddy planet?!” she shouted, incredibly vexed by her very bad luck.

“I do,” Dipper said with a very satisfied grin as his ice-enhanced sword suddenly rammed into Peridot’s lower legs, not only knocking the green Gem off balance but effectively freezing her feet to the ground.

“And so do I!” Steven chimed in, summoning another shield as he ran forward. The young Gem tossed his weapon like a frisbee, and much to his luck, it hit its mark, striking Peridot squarely in the face hard amidst her trying to break free from the ice encasing her.

“Ow!” the green Gem cried, rubbing the sore spot near her nose and failing to notice Steven and Dipper wisely pull back as Garnet carried out the next attack.

“Amethyst, catch!” the Gem leader grunted, finally lifting the pillar she had been holding onto enough to send it flying at the purple Gem. Right on cue, Amethyst lashed out, her whip coiling tightly around the massive rock, which she wasted no time in hurling it towards the warp pad Peridot was currently frozen to.

“Destroy!” the purple Gem roared, the whip’s hold on the rock breaking as it crashed down almost directly on top of Peridot. As a result, the ice on the ground shattered and the green Gem was sent freely flying into the air, much to her noisy alarm.

Given Peridot’s vulnerable position, Pearl saw this as the perfect opportunity, which was why she wasted no time in rushing forward to catch her when she inevitably fell. “I got her!” she exclaimed, almost excitedly, the hope in both her voice and expression clear as she kept her sights on the green Gem and nothing else. “I got her! I got her!”

Unbeknownst to the white Gem, Garnet had the exact same plan as she did as her gauntlets disappeared and her arms stretched out to apprehend their green foe. As focused as they both were in catching Peridot, neither Garnet nor Pearl noticed each other, however, until they ended up ramming into each other, knocking them both to the ground roughly.

“Pearl!” Garnet snapped angrily, especially as, right above them, Peridot narrowly avoided landing on top of them by converting her floating fingers into rapidly moving helicopter blades. “Get off me!”

“Ah!” Pearl gasped anxiously, quickly getting up after Peridot swiftly flew away from them. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Knowing that her footing was still unsteady with the Gem leader, Pearl attempted to do her a kindness by helping her up, help that Garnet coldly refused as she sent her a fierce, frustrated glare, one that only deepened as Peridot safely landed on the warp pad they had all arrived on.

“Wow, this is just sad,” the green Gem remarked smugly, confident in her escape, even as the kids tried one last effort in rushing forward to catch her. “I almost feel sorry for you… Not!” Peridot let out a triumphant snicker, mimicking Steven’s teasing expression from before as she warped away, leaving a defeated, downcast group of Gems and kids behind in her wake.

“…Have a great weekend!” Steven called cheerfully after her after a beat of silence, only to quickly take it back as the twins and the Gems gave him a shared glance of annoyance for his amicability towards such an aggravating foe. A foe who, for whatever reason, seemed all but impossible to finally catch. “I mean… I hope her weekend is… not so great?”

Calyss Watches the Clone Wars - 34

Today I’m watching 02x09 - Grievous Intrigue (37CO) with no subtitles and the attention span of a goldfish, I already forgot what Intro Dude said but, oh! look! a zabrak jedi with pigtails! and oh! look! someone is cutting through the door with a lightsaber! I WONDER WHO IT MIGHT BE.

Well, he’s not wrong, the episode is named after him.

HE BROUGHT NINJABOTS!!!

Okay so it’s 3 days later and this time I listened to Intro Dude and basically the Republic isn’t doing so way and Grievous is Illusive until now. Damn I had to find another torrent because for some reason the one I have used for month isn’t working anymore and on this other the video is blurry and hurt my eyes and I got this logo in the corner so I think I’m gonna have to find another one :( OMG GRIEVOUS’ EVIL LAUGH IS SO GOOD

“SO YOU THOUGHT CUTTING ME IN HALF WOULD STOP ME FROM STABBING YOU??? THINK AGAIN YOU JEDI SCUM!” Man I hate this logo. Ooooooh, Grievous is bringing in the big bots! I low key want this Jedi to die, I don’t know why. Maybe cause his haircut sucks? Or because Grievous deserve a victory once in a while? Come on this guy is sick and is gonna get shot in the heart by Obi-Wan Kenobi, let him have this.

Ouch.

Just look at this shitty image it looks GRIM AS FUCK I want my HD back !!! YAAAASSSS I FOUND AN UPDATED AND WORKING VERSION OF THE TORRENT I USED BEFORE!

And yeah! just in time for Team Handsome!

They just looked at each other for whatever reason. I can’t decide if it was because “urgh, not Grievous, again” or just because they can’t spend two minutes without checking each other out. Btw isn’t Grievous supposed to never have seen Anakin before? So hol doesn’t count? Also red holo!

Grievous: “I do not care about your politics! I do not care about your Republic! I only live to see you die!”

Suddenly I really wanna know Grievous’ backstory? What happened to this guy for him to hate the Jedi so much? Did he wanted to join and they said no cause he sucked and so he became a badass cyborg so he could use 4 lightsabers at a time and cut Jedi in little bits?

Also it’s funny cause he’s like, super dramatic but right now he’s this tiny red robot on their table.

WTF were those two younglings doing in the room??? Also, children, you better get used to see people get impaled by glowy weapons cause soon it would be you and your friends who’re gonna get it. And by none other than the dashing young knight whose exploit you were probably gossiping about just before zabrak dude met his demise.

Wtf Anakin can you stop looking like a future child murderer for a bit?

Obi-Wan: “I will go.” Anakin, surprising no one: “So will I.”

Ok, dude I’m glad you’re going with him but I’m also worried because RotS says that you don’t meet him in tCW so…? Sigh. They’re gonna get separated, aren’t they?

Also, Miss Random Jedi, you could introduce yourself, maybe?

Yeah, not even on the same ship (；一_一)

DUN DUN DUN (this is the dramatic jump out of hyperspace sound)

Much majesty.

I love how they’re casually contacting each other to gloat (I mean, Grievous and Obi-Wan. Tho I’m pretty sure some other people do that in the show)

Grievous: “…and be alert. Where there is Kenobi, you will always find Skywalker not far behind!”

DAMN RIGHT GRIEVOUS!!

So in that case the big attack is to cover for Anakin’s sneaky one and I can’t help but think of this “cute little secret weapon” thing.

Owwww Grievous is preparing a boarding party for Obi-Wan. (I KNOW IT WAS A LAME JOKE)

*facepalm* yeah of course Obi-Wan got caught in the tractor beam and he’s gonna do nothing about it cause they gotta continue their diversion but it’s just some shenanigan so that is him who faces Grievous and not Anakin BECAUSE REVENGE OF THE SITH FUCKED IT UP.

Why do I find this so funny? Random Jedi Does Not Find This Funny.

Obi-Wan calling Anakin “General Skywalker” is my kink.

Me at me: could please you stop saying shit like that in those reactions? Also i have the feeling I already said this at some point.

No door we go through walls like men droids.

Grievous: “So, Kenobi, is everything going as planned?” Obi-Wan: “That depends on your point of view, General.”

I know I used myself that “point of view” thing like yesterday in my fic and it’s actually a balm to my soul but GODDAMMIT OBI-WAN.

LOOK AT HIM GO

I wish I could gif just for him. (My internet did not like me loading this AT ALL it froze for like 5 minutes and I think even vlc felt it)

Grievous: “You wouldn’t come here without a plan, and you wouldn’t come alone. Tell me, do you think Skywalker has rescued Master Koth yet?”

If I was Obi-Wan i’d be like “ESXCuse ME I Can GO plaCES WITHouT SKyWALKer!!!!”

“Surprise”, Anakin says, not surprising anyone, cause those two are too damn predictable. Shouldn’t have accepted to participate to that documentary on the Jedi Order, now the whole Galaxy knows the only moments Kenobi and Skywalker aren’t together are when there is hot politicians to seduce or Clone Armies to discover.

Obi-Wan slays as hard with his words than with his saber:

“I hear a lot of talking, General, but in the final accounting, what does all the talk get you? A futile quest for power, a mutilated body, and your place as Dooku’s errand boy.”

*swoons* WHAT IS GRIEVOUS ISSUE WITH THE JEDI???

So…

Yeah. Let’s stop captioning every cool thing Obi-Wan does. And let’s caption cool things Grievous does instead.

Seriously this is one of my favorite Star Wars things. Dude just goes like “fuck it now i’m a spider”

Behold Anakin Skywalker choosing to bring some dude back to the shuttle instead of fighting because he Can Not Meet Grievous.

Obi-Wan: “You’ll have to command the space battle while Rex, Cody, and I head to the surface.” Anakin: “You sure you can handle this on your own?” Obi-Wan: “I think I can manage.”

Revenge of the Sith, Keeping Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker Apart For Stupid Reasons Since 2005.

Deep Space Nine RECAP: 6x14

To everyone who suggested this one for Recap Category: Lols — thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

Season 6, Episode 14: ‘One Little Ship’

We begin grinning, me and Major Kira both. It is, praise Roddenberry, an Original Series set-up: a Captain and his crew out on a starship, about to send a team of officers venturing into a strange patch of space to do some Scientific Research. Our latest galactic Bermuda Triangle has the fabulously Star Trek feature of shrinking down whatever enters it, runabouts included, a notion that has Nerys unsuccessfully fighting off fits of giggles.

“Major, are you laughing at our investigation of this sub-space anomaly?” Sisko asks, with the voice of a man who fully knows that this shit is hilaaarious.

Nerys rallies and tries to hold it together, but then cracks when she imagines her friends being the size of coffee cups. Listen, everyone on Drink Space 9 eventually just TURNING INTO space bevs would at this point not surprise me at all, so at the very least we can let them go hot tubbing in a raktajino.

Worf’s frown endeepens. “I do not see what is so humorous about being small,” he declares, earning him the immediate and undying service of little Ensign Nog. You have my sword, and my shield.

Sisko tries to get everyone to regain a semblance of cool while they receive a last transmission from the Rubicon, but his efforts are only partially effective given that he’s lolling out of his chair while doing so. Dax’s voice comes on all chipper and profesh, and unfortunately my mind instantly imagined her being the size of a Borrower, and I too lost it.

I AM NERYS

Dax tells Sisko all looks well, casually drops that she’s looking forward to Worf’s poem, and signs off. “I have my own ways of torturing Worf.” - Jadzia Dax, 5x06, and not remotely fucking around.

Sisko, still in business voice, pivots to the sidebar. “Mr. Worf. Poem?”

Turns out Klingons compose poems to commemorate great events, like a good warrior people, and Jadzia just had a feeling this mission was gonna be ONE FOR THE BOOKS. That troll’s got beautiful instincts.

Benjamin, who has been friends with Dax for two lifetimes for a reason, asks Worf to share with the class what he’s written so far. But Worf’s saved by Nog, who pipes up over his stammering with an uncalled for update about the runabout’s progress into the accretion disc. Kira leans in toward Sisko: “Now is it my imagination, or did the kid just cover for him?” Uh, yeah, what are squires for? Saving your bacon in social situations, MOSTLY.

On one of the computer screens, they can see the Rubicon getting smaller.

Beautiful transition is beautiful.

Now of course this rescaling won’t be permanent — the Rubicon together with its crew will spring back to full size once they depart from the anomaly. But right now they’re in the process of smoothly shrinking down to about half the size of a combadge. Omg that’s so little!

Much like Nerys, Julian also has the giggles, especially at Miles’ fretfulness. But before Miles can be like “listen I may be small but I can still crush you like a bundle of even tinier than usual twigs,” the runabout shudders alarmingly. The tractor beam tethering them to the Defiant is fluctuating. Well that’s not good, what’s up.

What’s up is a JEM’HADAR ATTACK. Oh fuck!

Everything goes south pretty much immediately. The tractor beam to the Rubicon snaps, sending the little runabout skittering deeper into the anomaly. Under heavy fire, the Defiant loses shields, engines, warp drive — god what else is there? Oh well we’ve added something: two groups of Jem’Hadar soldiers have just beamed onto the bridge, demanding surrender.

“this Science is not going the way I planned.”

A Very Hilarious Credits. Oh my buddies, do you know what type this episode is? You’d be close to say Shenanigans, but no it’s Jokes! Everyone is SO FUN in Jokes episodes, oh this is gonna be a joy.

We come back up on — darkness, actually, the lights are down in the Rubicon. Jadzia’s doing verbal check-ins to make sure her boys are okay. Julian materializes in the gloom at her elbow. “I’m fine, but you’re not,” he responds, which I enjoy a lot because like, can this CRISPR child see in the dark.

“Oh that’s better,” Jadzia breathes as Julian starts healing a cut across her cheek while Miles finishes brings the lights back up with this really invigorating open-palm smack to the control panel. Yeah I can see why you keep these two around.

Anyway I’m not above screencapping an aesthetic cheekbone injury, here you go.

The deductive reasoning of “we’re alive” means they must’ve been thrown clear of the anomaly, but beyond that the Rubicon is flying blind right now. Chief O’Brien is diligently blipping away at things trying to get the external sensors on, a working com system, the blast shutters over the windows open — you know, everything that’s holding off The Reveal until the right comedic moment.

Alright, Defiant, you’re up, what’s shaking. Oh, looks like it’s divisions within the Jem’Hadar, cracks making their appearance very quickly! One dude is more bluish, being called “Elder”, and the other is more dun, and the First. The Jem’Hadar get more nuanced and personalized every time we meet them, and this is what I love about Star Trek.

They manage to get their Vorta on the Space Skype, where he reveals to us that the First is part of a new race of Jem’Hadar the Founders are breeding in the Alpha Quadrant. Well that’s very Saruman.

The new model Jem’Hadar have just started proving themselves, but the Vorta think it’s going real well so far though, keep up the good work my lizardy mercenaries, you put the Alpha in Alpha.

Ohoho yeah, this Orc vs. Uruk-hai infighting? Fantastic, that’s definitely gonna be useful for the Fellowship.

But right now, the warp drive being down is the No. 1 problem the Jem’Hadar are facing. They need to get that running again, and the First decides he needs to talk to Captain Sisko. He also tosses off an order to get the chairs off the bridge, because apparently Jem’Hadar have NO USE FOR COMFORT.

The Starfleet bridge officers are being held in the mess hall, where Worf is currently beating himself up for getting sneak attacked and losing his wife in a miniaturizing glow cloud. Squire Nog tries to remind him that the Jem’Hadar approached from a certain angle around the anomaly that meant they were undetectable, and Worf just nearly-literally yells “DON’T TELL ME WHAT I KNOW.”

Sisko wants to talk about practical next steps. The Rubicon could very well be fine, and in the meantime, what are they gonna do about their predicament? If the warp power is restored, they’ll be packed straight off to a Dominion prison camp, so scuttling that repair job is what they should focus on. As long as they’re still in the Alpha Quadrant, there’s hope someone could intervene. Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

“We might have a chance to retake the Defiant,” Sisko muses. “But we can’t do anything unless we can get out of this room. Suggestions?”

And the door slides open in answer. I love comedies because I love timing.

The Elder collects Sisko, and departs. 

Rubicon time. Our trio are all tucked in together up at the front control panel still trying to figure out which way is up. Miles suggests Jadzia try the shutters again, and they begin a-clanking open.

Oh it’s already so good, ohhh I love the visuals of a plot like this!!

“Wait a minute,” Julian says, peering up, “there’s a symbol up there….”

Hahahahahaaahaha. Omg and look at Jadzia.

I can’t adequately capture the movement of that in still images, just know that it is the first and wildly successful synthesizing of Enhanced Julian with Existing Julian: perfectly calibrates and reorients his eye-line, looks like a bendy toy while doing it. TO SAY I’M DELIGHTED IS TO TRIFLE WITH WORDS.

Anyway yes it’s the Defiant, yes THEY’RE TEENY TIIINNYYYYY!! HONEY I SHRUNK THE RUNABOUT.

Shot of the Rubicon toodling along down the side of the Defiant. It’s taking a while. [giggling]

Interior, Miles O’Brien: “Are you telling me that I’m gonna be this bloody tall for the rest of my life?!”

JOKES! EPISODES! You can tell them because characters laugh at each other’s. By the same hand, a lotta deliberate deadpan quippery. It’s like an entire episode where you could say about every character, “well they’re sure in fine form today.”

Anyhow, Julian tries to convince Miles not to worry, because there’s a simple solution: if they can get back into the anomaly and then exit on the same trajectory they originally entered through, that should scale them back to normal size. Theoretically. What more do you want, this is speculative fiction!

They’ll need the Defiant’s help to get back in there though, and with coms down, they have to somehow….get their attention. This gets O’Brien thinking. If the Rubicon is this big, and the Defiant’s aft plasma vent is *this* big….

Dax sees where this is going: “Are you suggesting we take the Rubicon INSIDE the Defiant?”

“Well why not?” O’Brien responds. “Getting past the anti-backflow valve might be tricky, but once we’re inside we’ll have a better chance of attracting someone’s attention than we do sitting out here.”

Jadzia, with riotous sincerity: “I love it. Let’s go.”

I LOVE THIS EPISODE, I LOVE IT, I LOVE YOU ALL.

And oohh it’s going to become an absurd giant obstacle course isn’t it, oh please oh please, Galaxy Quest-style? Why do we have to leap through this slowly spinning fan! WHO DESIGNED THIS STARSHIP. The Best.

Meanwhile, inside said starship, Sisko is meeting the First, who apparently thinks he is going to repair the warp drive for him without trouble. You fool. The Elder thinks so too, and informs the First that Sisko is already working on a plan to retake the ship from the engine room.

“I was not aware that telepathy was a Gamma characteristic,” the First retorts, because the Alpha Quadrant strain are apparently sarcastic bitches. Ohhhh, [nodding] the Cardassian influence.

The Gamma Elder tells the Alpha First he should just kill Sisko now, but the Alpha First is just like hold up, do not order me around, SECOND.

A tense pause.

Sisko:

Well I fucking died. BEN. See, Jokes episodes: the Extra Bold weight of all our characters. So fun.

Not fun though is the First’s new threat: Sisko helps repair the warp drive, or watch his crew be executed one at a time. Wow I vote not that option. The Captain does too, and convinces them that he’ll need some officers to help him — unless the Jem’Hadar want to spend days sitting out here while he teaches them Federation technology from square one. The First says he can have his bridge officers. The Second somehow restrains himself from placing a suffering hand to his scaly brow.

Elsewhere, a dramatic tune as the Rubicon goes zoom-zooming up this plasma vent. God it’s just —Nerys was right it’s so funny that they’re tiny.

Commander Dax is piloting, naturally, getting mmm 80% accurate directions from Chief O’Brien, who’s just not used to this PERSPECTIVE alright? Oh by the way, should note that she’s been calling him Chief exclusively so far. Julian is Julian, as he has been to her since Day 1. Ok carry on.

Well speaking of carrying on, Julian starts ribbing Miles over the dirtiness of this conduit. “Alright alright, let’s not badger the Chief,” Jadzia interjects, earning her his thanks.

Julian, brightly: “I’m sorry, that was very small of me.”

U DID NOT. Oh Jokes Julian is shaping up to be an absolute treat.

Deep inside the ship they’re trying to get inside of, the Elder Gamma Second (god, how many descriptors….) steers Sisko into a turbolift, then shoves him up against a wall, not sexily. He warns him that HE at least knows what Sisko is up to, and if he tries anything, his officers are space toast.

As it turns out, this bro was First up until only two days ago. Holy shakeup! Ben literally sighs “What happened?” like we’re segueing into therapy hour, or like, maybe at least a cafeteria bitchfest.

“He’s an Alpha, I am a Gamma,” the Elder explains. “His DNA and psychological profile are specifically designed for combat in this quadrant.” Yeah, the Founders spliced in some Cardassholery, we’re with you, go on.

Sisko tries to ask how the Elder how he feels about all this, but the Elder catches wise and just replies that he’s given him enough actionable info already. I enjoy this relaysh between the Elder and Sisko because it’s just a lot of “....Touché.”

Meanwhile, the Jem’Hadar have gotten impulse power back online, and are gonna use it to get moving. Which means they’re turning it on. Which means not good things for our darlings currently cruising up a plasma vent.

Specifically: “It means this entire conduit is about to be filled with super-heated plasma.”

Julian: “When you say ‘super-heated’…”

“If I can’t find another way out of here, we’ll be vaporized. Is that clear?” Ah yes Chief, he’s got it. It’s a Yikes.

O’Brien directs Dax to a vestibule outside this little hatch thing that dumps out into the ship proper, just as the plasma starts to pour in. She announces they’re gonna have to open it “the old-fashioned way.” Julian just silently stretches his arms around the backs of their chairs to hang on, wonderful. Aaannd GO.

The Rubicon bangs through, hurray! They are now in the engine room, and now I am suddenly awash in Physics Questions, because can you fly a spaceship inside a spaceship? Aren’t they designed to move in a vacuum? Or is propulsion just propulsion? What even is…how do….god I should I have been an engineer honestly, what was I thinking, I LOVE THIS SHIT.

I also love this. Look how teeny!!! I usually do not give any size fuck about miniatures, but suddenly this I love. I think it’s the movement. It’s like the runabout is a bee.

So the Rubicon has landed in the engine room, where Sisko and Kira and the rest are as well, engaged in the exceedingly delicate operation of Not Actually Fixing The Warp Drive while Jem’Hadar loom around and ask questions and try to get involved. Another important element is Not Getting Shot, so it’s like, extra tricky.

Jadzia swings the Rubicon scooting up the wall to hide out among some pipes and scope the situation, and Miles makes quick work of the visual sensors and coms, so they can get a better idea of what’s going on.

Jadzia: “Do you see what I see?” Miles: “Mmm, very clever.” Jadzia: “The problem is, it’s never gonna to work.” Miles: “The bridge control lock-outs.” Jadzia: “The security codes are hardwired through the encryption circuitry.” Julian, lost: “Will someone please let me in on this conversation?”

Oh, ~j’adore~ clueless curious Julian back in action, thaaannk you. What a GOOD understanding that he was given rapid analytical ability, not a databank of knowledge!

Also extremely enjoyable: Miles and Jadzia now get to provide a LITERAL BIRD’S EYE VIEW ON THE BRIDGE TEAM QUIETLY SABOTAGING THIS OPERATION, god this show is my jam.

Seriously I fucking love this, framed and VOed from the bee-ship, aaahhh.

To aid their buddies in their attempt to take control of the ship from engineering, our tinies decide they need to get to the bridge so they can release the security codes to Nog. Which means they need to get out of the engine room undetected.

It’s been real fun watching special effects improve over the course of the 1990s.

While the Rubicon hovers over some tools and waits for someone to come through the door, Sisko starts playing a game of intra-Jem’Hadar politics. When the First stomps in demanding to know why the warp drive isn’t operational yet, Sisko promptly throws the Second under the bus, claiming that his in fact very valid suspicions and attempts to have his own men take over repair tasks is only slowing down the work.

But while the Second is right, the First is brutally effective: he informs Sisko that if he doesn’t fix the thing within half an hour, he’ll kill Kira. But he also forbids the Second to interfere with their work, so really what has happened here is that we’ve been given a 30 minute window. It’s a time-bomb plot now.

Luckily, the Rubicon has slipped out the door.

While they zip off, Ben checks in with his team. Nog is working frantically on these codes, but they keep kicking him back out. No wonder — O’Brien said it would take him weeks break to through. He asks his Captain if there’s a back-up plan, and Sisko just goes “Yes: I’ll destroy the ship.” Nog, uh, will find a way.

Sisko moves on to Kira, who is still stalling like a fucking champion. Unfortunately, the Jem’Hadar were apparently designed to catch on quick. She doesn’t know how long she can keep her watcher fooled.

“In a battle of wits between you and him, I’d bet on you every time,” Ben says.

Nerys hums, pleased and eye-rolly in equal measure. “What kind of odds are you giving?”

I love them so, so much.

Elsewhere, Dax is hovering right behind the craggy noggin of the First as he makes his way back to the bridge. DARING. On the way, he runs into another Alpha, who had taken some initiative and fixed a few errors he found in the Defiant’s targeting system. The First remarks that Gammas are not so enterprising. “Well, the Gammas have many flaws,” he remarks. Lol.

“It will be Alphas like us that determine the future of this Quadrant,” the First tells him. Is this good?? Probably??? The Alphas are certainly more emotional and individualized, which makes them more alarmingly unpredictable, but they are also more easily deceived, so as foes go, yeah I think I’d want them.

In the engine room, Sisko directs Worf to plant a computer virus that will cause a core breach once they reach Warp 1. If they can’t gain control of the ship before the warp drive is fixed, no one else will be in control for long. And everyone we care about will die so this is pretty serious.

Back outside the bridge, Dax is preparing to tappity-tap out the door’s entrance code with the nose of her runabout, haha yay. O’Brien warns her not hit it too hard and shatter the panel.

“Don’t worry, I have a light touch,” she assures him.

Julian chuckles. “Not according to Worf.”

Doctor. What happens during Dr. Bashir Patches People Up After Their Sexy Escapades is supposed to stay in confidence! Though by that I certainly don’t mean I’ve changed my mind about wanting an extensive and long-running feature just about this very thing.

Dax pointedly (so, gently) enters the code, and the door slides open to reveal Jem’Hadar just frickin’ everywhere. She steers the little ship under a console, where they try to figure out how they’re gonna get to the control panel without being seen. Dax, ever a thinker, wonders if they could beam within the wires and do it manually.

O’Brien is like well yeah, probably, but….

BUT… that would require going outside, and “I can think of a thousand ways a one-centimeter man could get fried walking inside a circuit housing.” Well I definitely want that now. Give me a way to make this happen.

Not helping me out: Julian, who’s all relax Miles, the oxygen molecules are too big for you and you’d suffocate instantly! This is not the first time Dr. Bashir has enthusiastically explained some fucking morbid thing, and I love it ever.

Honestly this is such a quality team. I’d made an off-hand reference a few eps ago to Dax, Bashir & O’Brien being a perfectly balanced group, and this is totally what I meant. Julian: optimistic, encyclopedic. Jadzia: gung-ho, creative. Miles: Ron Swanson

Miles: “WELL, that takes care of that idea.” Jadzia: “Unless—”

Shoulda known it’d be you who would give me a way to make this happen! She proposes beaming a bubble of air from the Rubicon into the circuit housing, which would then expand to fill the space with their teensy oxygen molecules. Julian says Miles would be able to breathe for about 20 minutes.

“And then?” Miles asks.

“You’d pass out.”

A pause.

“We’d pass out — you’re coming with me.”

HALLELUJAH. Oh praise a Jokes episode, the jokes make so many GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.

Such as…

THE GIANT OBSTACLE COURSE SET I WANTED, AAAHHHAHAHAHA

Miles starts wandering around trying to get his bearings, thinking out loud, and discovering there are soooo many things he does not recognize when he’s a centimeter tall. Julian is absolutely no help, readily admitting he hasn’t “the faintest idea” and instead adorably boggling up at everything, literally going: “It’s amazing! It’s like we’re in the middle of an optronic forest!” Idk what is even going on, but at least I’m gonna suffocate having seen an ELECTRIC JUNGLE, a magical KELP GROVE of GLOWING CIRCUITRY~

Julian goes to take a seat on a chip like it’s a park bench for his dazzle-eyed gazings, and Miles is like omfg, “JULIAN, STOP!” There’s current running through that chip, he explains, not much…

Not 2 be hyperbolic, but this is probably everything I ever wanted from this tv show. Conceivably you could have shown me this solitary image five months ago and I would have been like yeah, I’ll watch five and a half seasons of television for that. That looks like my everything.

Anyway because Julian is his everything what who said that, Miles instructs him to “Stay right behind me, and don’t touch anything without asking!” God forbid the Doctor ever gets space sick himself, because can you just imagine Miles? Anyway Julian’s still craning backward gazing up at everything in wonder, god, Chief, tether him or something.

Up on the bridge, Jadzia is warily hovering in the shadows as the Jem’Hadar file up to receive the white. The Alphas evidently think they are above the usual ritualistic statements pledging loyalty to the Founders, a Deeds Not Words philosophy which will possibly become relevant someday.

Back inside whatever control panel thing this is, our boys are lost. Disorientation is a symptom of hypoxia, lack of oxygen, Julian assures (?) Miles. He starts asking him about particular chips they can see, trying to find a landmark.

Oh no. Look at his little eyebrows. Meaney!

Julian has an idea.

OH WHAT NOW, YOU DREAMY XAVIER. What fresh flirty absurdity do I have to contend with HERE.

It works though, of course it fucking does --- Miles is able to reorient himself by relying just on his memory, not his vision. And also Julian leading him through his own mind with the sound of his voice or whatever.

Over in the engine room, our peeps are not having the best time of it. Kira asks if Nog has made any progress. Nog hurries by hissing. “Not yet,” Sisko comments dryly.

Now a long sequence where Julian and Miles, more than half delirious, pantingly try to slot giant plugs into sockets. The audio is really something special. Finally they get everything rerouted, and b a r e l y manage to stumble out a “Mission Complete” message to Dax, who can beam their tiny oxygen starved bods out there. *high five* [misses] [falls over]

At last Nog has made progress — with a little help from his friends. But just as he releases the command codes, the Jem’Hadar pull him away from the consoles and line him up with Sisko, Kira, and Worf. The First has discovered that the warp drive has been functional for over an hour. He’s not pleased. The Elder thinks they should check for sabotage. He’s ri-ight, but once again overridden by the Alpha, who refuses to linger in Federation space. He orders them to bring the ship into warp.

We’ll see about that.

And that is why you shouldn’t cross…the Rubicon.

Delightfully, they’re shooting TINY TORPEDOES at the Jem’Hadar. Also the Major takes out two in swift, efficient order — damn do I love Kira the Sharpshooter.

And we’ve taken back the Defiant!

I’m unreasonably happy with this.

Our smol crew flies on over to say haaayyy, Jadzia hovering in front of Worf’s nose to blow him a big kiss through the front window.

A-frickin-dorable.

Captain Sisko gets his ship back in order, and his mini-ship as well, and takes everyone back to Deep Space 9, where they apparently make a beeline for Quark’s.

Worf has a tablet with him, and Jadzia begs to hear his poem, just the first line? He starts hedging.

Worf: “This is my first poem.” Jadzia: “I understand.” Worf: “And I have worked very long and very hard on this.” Jadzia: “I know.” Worf: “I do not wish to be ridiculed.” Jadzia: “I promise!” Worf: “Very well.” Worf: “This is the story of a little ship, that took a little trip.”

Worf. Jadzia suddenly grins and grabs his padd, where there is NOTHING WRITTEN. Worf!

Over at the bar, Julian and Miles are regaling Morn and a Dabo girl with grand tales of their adventure. Odo lurks up behind them.

O H, it has been TOO LONG since Odo trolled some humanoids. FAR TOO LONG. This is goorrrgeous.

Odo, straight-faced, like his face knows any other way to be, remarks that they seem a few centimeters shorter — “a Changeling notices that sort of thing.” Pfffffftt.

Quark sidles up, leaning in toward Odo’s shoulder. “I wasn’t going to say anything, but you do look a little on the petite side.”

Oh my GOD, they know each other so well from all the years of antagonism that they make PERFECT IMPROV PARTNERS. DARLINGS. Deign to work on the same side more often!!

“Infirmary,” Julian chokes out, and he and Miles rush off.

RECEIPTS: “the great thing about Odo is that he’s not actually the straight man to the humanoid jokesters, he’s a deeply hilarious person playing the straight man to the humanoids because he finds it hilarious.” - Tarra Treks, DS9 Season 2, October 2016
