Imagine you've grown up on a spacestation. It's a major port, several times larger then most terrestrial cities. You've gotten to meet people, from all around the known universe, cultures with diffrent gods, diffrent tongues, diffrent systems of government, even some that aren't even fully human anymore through genetic engineering and adaptation.
And for your entire life you've heard about planets. Most media, from the strangest fantasy stories, to the most mundane dramas, take place on planets and assume to viewer lived most of their life on a planet. And most of the you talk to are from planets too, even those that have made their home on the station still grew up on planets, or have family they visit on planets. But you don't really have any personal frame of reference for what a planet is even like. Once or twice you've been on a ship or visited a nearby station, but you've never actually been too a planet.
You don't think of things the way terrestrial people do. You don't think of things as being inside or outside, just in diffrent rooms. You don't think of places as being flat, but as having layers of floors. You don't even have a full idea of what being "outside" would be like.
And one day, long after you've become an adult, you actually visit a planet. Everyone you know kind of expects you to be in awe of the beauty of an open sky, to finally enjoy the feeling of fresh air. But to you, you feel nothing. It's chaotic and confusing, you don't know how to get anywhere, you can't navigate places this open. When you see an open field it scares you, like open space brought into a station's walls. Everything feels so big and crowded and so small and empty at the same time. You barely leave your hotel room the entire trip.
People are supposed to exist on the ground. But you adapted to something else. That's what humans do after all, adapt to things.

Jedi knights and Vulcans were an essential part of Star Wars and Star Trek from the very beginning, and twentieth century viewers would have come away with a mostly positive impression of them. That changed drastically in the late 1990s, when both Trek and Wars started portraying their respective bands of detached, disciplined seekers of truth as uptight jerks. What happened?
In my latest newsletter, I'm trying to understand why both Star Trek and Star Wars turned against their versions of Space Buddhists.

Thinking about Original Flavor Star Wars. Before the sequels and the prequels, or even the original trilogy. Just Star Wars, the original film.
Darth Vader is such a funny fucking character.
Space Fascism! Stormtroopers in Space! Space guys living their space lives, going to their space job to go home to their space house.
And then here’s cybertronian space Rasputin; 8 feet tall and goth as a midwestern queer, menacing up the place with his laser sword and iron lung vocoder.
I dunno it just cracks me up. Like. There’s no Worldbuilding yet about a galaxy-spanning order of esoteric space knights. As far as we know it’s just Vader; I don’t think we even meet Palpatine in the first one. So. There’s just a. Black Knight. Wizard. Thing. Guy. Menacing his way around on the Space Empire Battleships.

My Characters & Stories Over The Years... I always wanted to draw a big banner to just lay out how many stories and characters are just taking rent in my head for years. Always fond for the fantasy element, giving it a cozy slice-of-life feel, yet having a mystery around it as these stories goes. It is my wish to one day make these stories come to life, and hopefully share them around in the future. Someday. What seems to peak your interest, though? Which character would you'll like to know? We have one of Medieval Fantasy, Space Fantasy, Elemental Heroes, A Ghost and an Alien being friends, A girl in a monster restaurant, a Shapeshifter & a Cursed Child traveling together, maybe even more in the future! ArtStation / Bluesky / Ko-Fi
