I Had A Thought That Yoda Isn’t Actually That Stubborn Or Strict Or Mean. The Difference Is That If
I had a thought that Yoda isn’t actually that stubborn or strict or mean. The difference is that if you tell him you’re going to do something stupid he’ll let you do it. He’s just going to tell you you’re stupid and tell you what’s going to go wrong. Basically fuck around and find out.
People get it wrong because the whole plot of the series is characters fucking around and finding out. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. Why else would so many characters die/get their hands cut off/be tortured?

I both do and don’t believe in astrology partially because I’m agnostic and also because people are annoying about it. I do know my full birth chart and how weird it is. Also I don’t tell people my sign because I’m a Scorpio and they assume bad things about me. But Happy Birthday to me (it’s not today but it’s close)
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
I agree they started to make new trek boring and colourless along with the outfits. I would wear them though. I would also wear outfits from TOS though and also from 200 years ago. It depends on the occasion.
one more opinion about star trek fashion
it actually shouldn’t look like stuff you would wear (or at least a lot of it shouldn’t)
i’ve seen a lot of praise for modern trek fashion being better than classic trek because ‘people would actually wear that’
look at what people wore as everyday fashion 200-300 years ago, would you wear it? probably not, maybe for the novelty of it, but definitely not every day.
like, yeah this stuff looks crazy
it’s 300 years in the future. some of them are aliens, makes perfect sense to me that they would wear ridiculous extravagant clothes that look strange to my 21st century eye
similar to how if you showed modern fashion (especially alternative fashion/runway fashion) to someone dressed like this,
they would probably think we’re crazy.
yet for some reason modern trek wants us to believe that hundreds of years into the future people still just wear zip up hoodies?
(idk if the spock fit actually is a hoodie or not but come on man, the zipper? nothing more futuristic than a zipper?)
or this dress that looks like i could buy it in a 21st century target?
(not to hate on chapel, she’s just the only one i can find decent pictures of out of uniform)
also why is everything so grey now? when was it decided that people don’t wear colors in the future? i can not find out of uniform pictures where any of these people wear color, all black, white, grey, and maybe a bit of muted green.
tldr
clothing design in star trek should be just as important as clothing design in a period piece. i don’t think a screencap from any star trek should look like it could just as easily take place in the 21st century, i should see some crazy outfits. the clothes can do a lot of the heavy lifting to remind us that this is supposed to be far in the future.
I know folks who habitually swear in English even though it's not their first language because "English has all the fun swear words", and while I don't disagree that in terms of languages that are fun to swear in, English is pretty high up the list, I feel like some of these people desperately need to be introduced to Québécois French.

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."
It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.
This hits different when you have multiple mental health issues and one of them counts as a disease.
most annoying “neurodivergent” people are people who are like “brain damage isn’t neurodivergent that’s acquired” “epilepsy isn’t a neurodivergent that’s a disease” “schizophrenia isn’t neurodivergent it’s a mental illness”. what part of diverges from the supposed normal do you not get. i’m going to hit you.

Maybe I’m behind on some things but I don’t know why so many posts are tagged with stuff about Lana del Rey. I know maybe two songs by her but that was a long time ago. I want to look at retro fashion and similar stuff. Do I have to look for her tag? I’m honestly confused and would appreciate anyone explaining.
