¿Imaginas un día de San Valentín en el Enterprise?

Can you imagine a Valentine's Day on the Enterprise?

Todo el mundo recibiendo y regalando cosas a la gente mientras Spock mira, pensado lo ilógica que es esa fiesta. ¿Por qué es ilógica? Quizás porque él cree que el amor debe desarrollarse todos los días del año, con paciencia y cuidado, y no le encuentra el sentido a mostrarlo en masa en aquel momento.

Everyone receiving and giving things to people while Spock watches, thinking how illogical this party is. Why is it illogical? Maybe because he believes that love should be developed every day of the year, with patience and care, and he doesn't see the point of showing it massively at that moment.

McCoy, por el contrario, quiere enseñarle al vulcaniano que ese día especial se celebra para llevar más allá el amor. No es una simple fiesta que se olvida el día siguiente; es el instante para preguntarse a uno mismo si lo está dando todo a la persona que más quiere. O, por el contrario, para dar el primer paso en una relación.

McCoy, on the other hand, wants to teach the Vulcan that this special day is celebrated to take love further. It's not a simple celebration that is forgotten the next day; it's the moment to ask yourself if you are giving everything to the person you love the most. Or, on the contrary, to take the first step in a relationship.

Un clásico es vestirse de Cupido con sus alas de angel y sus flechas de amor.

A classic is to dress up as Cupid with his angel wings and love arrows.

Aunque Spock haya recibido un flechazo, no parece que amor sea lo que siente ahora mismo

Even if Spock has had an arrow shot, it doesn't look like love is what he's feeling right now

THE BIG VULCAN BIOLOGY POST (aka Vulcan is a Hell Planet)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a biologist, astrophysicist, neurologist, animal psychologist or literally anything that would qualify me to talk about this with 100% confidence. This is the result of dozens of headcanons and obsessive deep dive research. I don’t want this post to be three miles long, so after I address the planetary stuff I will oblige y’all with a Read More.

Adsfasdkfjhaslkdfh I’ve been working on this post for almost a month SO HERE WE GO!

First of all, Vulcan (aka T’Khasi) is a HELL PLANET, which is part of the reason they’re so badass, I say this for the following reasons:

No moon(s) (natural satellites)

Sodium (Salt) is so rare on the planet that Vulcan’s oceans are freshwater

It’s a “Super-Earth” (as in big chonkin’ planet of similar composition to earth in the “goldilocks region”)

Let’s do this.

“Vulcan has no moon Ms. Uhura.”

-Spock, The Man Trap

Tons of things change about our planet if there was no moon:

Much darker nights (no moonlight)

Much lower sea levels since there is no gravity from the moon to pull it upward.

Lower and weaker tides because the water is pulled by the sun instead of the moon, and it depends on how large the Vulcan solar system’s sun is for how big the waves are.

Stronger winds from faster planet rotation.

Depending on whether the axis of the planet would straighten or tilt further without the moon’s pull, combined with the faster rotation would lead to more severe seasons (strong tilt) or no seasons at all (no tilt)

The first factor may lead to Vulcan eyes being very catlike even if they aren’t nocturnal (I think they’re crepesucular but we’ll get into that later). Which given the likely nature of their blood and their herbivorous eating habits they probably aren’t. The sky would still be so dark that our human eyes couldn’t even see our hands in front of us, being blind when the sun goes down could be a death sentence. Alternatively, if they didn’t develop strong night vision that may be one of the reasons why they have such strong senses of hearing.

The stronger winds, faster rotation, and stronger (or nonexistent) seasons come from the lack of resistance and friction that stronger tides and the moon’s pull create on our planet. I suspect that Vulcan is larger, or at least denser than Earth, but I’ve been informed that according to the TMP novelization that it does rotate faster. I also think that Vulcan’s tilt is on the more extreme end to get the hostile extremes like storms and heat that we see on Vulcan.

If you look at this image of Vulcan, water covers way less of the planet’s surface than Earth. I don’t think this is necessarily because Vulcan has less water, but that it isn’t spread as far because of the lack of moon, and the fact that the oceans are freshwater, I’ll get into that shortly.

“My ancestors spawned from a different ocean than yours.”

-Spock, The Man Trap

In the Star Trek: The Original Series (third) pilot The Man Trap, there is a creature that kills its victims by draining their bodies completely of salt. Spock encounters the creature but does not die, implying his (and Vulcans overall) body contains little to no salt. His justification is that his species did not evolve from a salinized ocean.

What does it mean to have oceans with no salt?

This has to mean that sodium is a very rare mineral on Vulcan, as the reason our oceans are so salinized is due to erosion of minerals by rainfall, carried from river to ocean. Salt in the ocean is also generated by submarine volcanic activity, which means either that the volcanoes on Vulcan (which we definitely know exist) somehow don’t produce salt, or the vast majority of the submarine volcanoes have been inactive for millions if not billions of years. The active volcanoes on Vulcan must be very far inland and/or Vulcan has almost no rivers, which given how hot the planet is, wouldn’t actually be too much of a stretch of the imagination.

Which means every single lifeform on T’Khasi, including Vulcans, evolved biosystems that exist without (or with very little) salt content. Any salt that exists would likely be deep beneath the planet’s surface, and within volcanoes.

No saltwater has a ton of consequences:

Plants (like underwater algae) are rarer and may not photosynthesize the same way Earth plants do, meaning less oxygen and more carbon dioxide, which means more greenhouse effect, which means higher temperatures.

The lack of salt would also mean less diverse plant life (at least as humans know it) and given the lack of visible rivers and vast swaths of desert on Vulcan, we can safely say vegetation must be hardier and infrequent.

Lower sea levels as the oceans would have lower density due to lack of salt.

Little to no water convection, which salt is crucial for on Earth. Which means warm ocean water doesn’t move to cold regions and vice versa. Creating extremes, the equator being obscenely hot, and polar waters freezing at the poles more extensively.

Lack of convection means more frequent and stronger storms like hurricanes.

If you thought the lack of a moon made Vulcan inhospitable, compound it with the low sodium factor and you’ve got a planet of even more severe extremes than before. The heat, and the decrease of plant diversity definitely explain why the vast majority of Vulcan is rocky desert, even being near the water poses more extreme dangers than it would on earth due to the increased frequency of hurricanes.

“Mr. Spock is much stronger than an ordinary human being.”

-Kirk, This Side of Paradise

I am almost 100% sure that Vulcan is either bigger or denser than Earth. Which would explain why Vulcans are so much stronger than Humans and other species that exist on similar gravity worlds.

Effects of a high-gravity planet or “Super-Earth” include:

Everything is shorter or has very strong foundations, plants, animals, structures, and people.

More “Armageddon” class asteroids would hit the planet (like the one that killed the dinosaurs and created the Gulf of Mexico)

Larger liquid mantle under the planet’s surface, higher pressure under the surface as well.

Weaker magnetic field due to lack of convection in the planet’s core (not to be confused with the mantle interacting with the planet’s crust). Which means a weaker atmosphere, lower magnetism in surface metals, and increased vulnerability to solar flares.

More volcanically and seismically active due the the increase in the mantle’s size and generated heat, more earthquakes, and more volcanic eruptions.

Would have to have a smaller sun but be closer in orbit to it than earth.

Extremely deep oceans, potentially with water under so much pressure at the bottom that it becomes solid like ice. Luckily Vulcan is not an ocean world, because the pressure would block the planet’s core from interacting with the atmosphere, which would prevent life as we know it from happening.

There is plenty of evidence for this on so many levels. We never see any plant life similar to trees on Vulcan. Nor animals significantly larger than Vulcans, the ones that are bigger are much more muscular. Vulcan’s sky is more red than blue because of the lack of oxygen molecules for the light from the sun to filter as blue. I actually headcanon that Spock is unusually tall for a Vulcan because of his human heritage (Leonard Nimoy was around 6ft tall) , and may have had heart and muscle problems in his teens and early adulthood while on Vulcan.

Perhaps Vulcans are the result of many more extinction level events than we are, contributing to their hardiness. Perhaps they are, evolutionarily, not too much older than we are, and had more incentive to develop extraterrestrial technology than we have, so that they could repel Armageddon Class meteors and defend their planet against Solar Flares? Space travel being born out of self-preservation rather than curiosity. Which would absolutely account for their attitudes in the beginning of Star Trek: Enterprise.

It could be that Vulcans still maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle even today because their planet is so incredibly volatile. Unsentimental and utilitarian in anything less than the most sacred of architecture long before they adopted the teachings of Surak. Their own survival more valuable than any structure that would inevitably be damaged or destroyed by their planet’s harsh environment.

In summary, Vulcan is a Nightmare Planet because:

So, so many much natural disasters, like, so many, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, twisters, just, so many more than Earth.

Water is relegated to specific locations in the world rather than spread across it due to lack of flow and lower sea levels.

Extreme temperature changes, intense heat, intense cold, hard to breathe, stronger gravity.

Due to the planet’s hostility, there is a smaller diversity of life than we have here on earth, which means fewer and hardier food sources that, like Vulcans, are very difficult to kill.

So… How do they handle it? What features have they developed to adapt and thrive in such an inhospitable place?

First thing is first, lets talk about

No sé por qué me gusta tanto dibujar a personajes del universo del Mirror, especialmente Spock 😁

I don't know why I like drawing characters from the Mirrorverse so much, especially Spock 😁

Me gusta pensar que, en el otro universo, Spock y McCoy se llevan mejor que bien 😉; que están compenetrados y se complementan (aunque eso también pasa en el universo normal)

I like to think that, in the other universe, Spock and McCoy get along better than well 😉; that they have a good rapport and complement each other (although that also happens in the normal universe).

(No le he puesto humo a los fáseres porque son electrónicos y, si sueltan humo, parece que van a explotar 😆)

(I didn't draw the phasers releasing smoke because they are electronic and, if they release smoke, they look like they'll explode 😆).

Una nueva cosa para pensar: ¿cómo se hizo McCoy la cicatriz del ojo?

A new thing to think about: how did McCoy get the scar in his eye?

Hay gente que dibuja a los personajes del universo del Mirror con cicatrices en la cara. Personalmente, yo no creo que McCoy sea tan agresivo (o estúpido) como para meterse en una pelea, así que yo no dibujo a Mirror McCoy con cicatrices en la cara. Creo que él usaría venenos o algo así en situaciones necesarias (no pienso que sea un gran fan del dolor, ya que puede que sea algo empático hasta en ese universo, y por todas las cosas por las que ha pasado dudo que torture o sea perverso de verdad). Pero quizás tenga alguna cicatriz en otra parte del cuerpo que tapa la ropa, como la espalda, el pecho, un brazo... Y mi idea es que alguna vez tuvo una dura discusión con Spock hasta el punto de ser atacado y se hizo dicha cicatriz.

Some people draw characters in the Mirrorverse with scars on their faces. Personally, I don't think McCoy is aggressive (or stupid) enough to get into a fight, so I don't usually draw Mirror McCoy with scars on his face. I think he'd use poisons or something like that in necessary situations (I don't think he's a big fan of pain, as he might be somewhat empathic even in that universe, and for all the things he's been through I doubt he'd torture or be truly perverse). But maybe he has some scar on another part of his body that his clothes cover, like his back, his chest, one of his arms... And my idea is that he once had a hard argument with Spock to the point of being attacked and got that scar.

La vida en el universo del Mirror es muy dura. No se puede confiar en nadie, hay traición en todos los rincones. Y, por si fuera poco, nunca debes dejar ver tu debilidad. En este universo no se vive, se sobrevive; no se duerme, se está atento... no se ama, se odia.

Life in the Mirrorverse is very hard. You can't trust anyone, there is betrayal in every corner. And, on top of that, you must never let your weakness show. In this universe you don't live, you survive; you don't sleep, you watch your back... you don't love, you hate.

Es un universo miserable en el que los actos de la gente son desesperados, cautivos de una sociedad corrompida y a punto de desmoronarse, donde la catástrofe podría estallar en cualquier momento.

It's a vile universe in which people's actions are desperate, captive to a corrupt and crumbling society, where catastrophe could strike at any moment.

El día a día es cuando la personalidad de la gente se forma. Si, en la vida, lo único que hay es violencia, crueldad y odio, por muchas ganas que alguien tenga de cambiar el mundo, al final esa persona se acaba apagando.

Day by day is when people's personalities are formed. In life, if there's only violence, cruelty and hatred, no matter how much someone wants to change the world, that person will eventually fade away.

No obstante, aun sin conseguir convertir la vida en algo alegre, grato y maravilloso, una persona incansable, luchadora y leal nunca se apartará de tu lado.

However, even if you don't manage to turn life into something joyful, pleasant and wonderful, a tireless, fighting, loyal person will never leave your side.

Today I went to the cinema to watch Black Widow

It made me remember how watching a Marvel film was. I have watched all the other films and I was looking forward to a new one

I wasn't expecting anything. Before seeing it, I thought it hadn't the same potential as the previous ones, like Endgame. However, it was a very sentimental film and I really REALLY LOVED it 🥺. From now on, I'll see Nat with different eyes

If you don't like Marvel, try watching this, please, it is beautiful 💕

@spatasphere has proposed me to answer this 😊:

Pass the happy! 🌻When you receive this, list five things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications. 💛💛💛

What makes me feel really happy is that feeling when I'm on holiday on the beach, in the sea, lying peacefully and feeling the waves.

On Leonard McCoy

An old rant I made dedicated to my favorite doctor

You see, I have fallen in love with every single one of the characters in Star Trek, they all have such diverse personalities and fun quirks that makes them so enjoyable to watch, read about, and even just think about.

They have become iconic through generations, and I love every single one of them. And to think of the impact that they have achieved on the world and how society is today, is unbelievable. Truly incredible.

Now, with these said, I love all of them, but right now let me talk about our dear southern ol’ country doctor.

Dr. Leonard Horatio “Bones” McCoy, nicknamed bones (a variation of sawbones, a term used for doctors back in the day) by none other than his life long friend Jim Kirk.

He is wonderful. And he is a character that goes through so much pain. They all do, of course. Who can forget the racism Spock ensued, and the tragedy of seeing a massacre when Jim was still young. But right now, let’s tak about McCoy.

He was a simple man, an emotional and irrational man in comparison to the logical Spock, who he always has philosophical arguments with (which I really enjoy watching), yet one of the smartest men in the Star Trek universe. In comparison to his colleagues, he is a simple man. He grew up on earth, studied to be a surgeon at a regular school, yet still with his incredible wit became the chief medical officer aboard the most famous spaceship in all the federation, the USS Enterprise.

As said, he has his friends and colleagues, yet something we are always able to tell, is the feeling of loneliness that bones always carries around with him. He has an ex-wife, and a daughter that barely speaks to him. Apart from his crew mates, he is utterly alone. And him, being such a warm, kind hearted, caring, and loving individual, doesn’t let show how badly the lack of romantic love in his life affects him. Which it does. So much that in the last episode I watched “for the world is hollow and I have touched the sky” he was about to marry a woman he has just met, just because she was besotted with him and because he was convinced he was going to die of a terminal illness and his whole life had been lived without love. Nothing shows how badly alone a person has felt their whole life, than this. An excerpt taken directly from the episode:

NATIRA: You have lived a lonely life? 
MCCOY: Yes, very lonely.

It is probably because of this loneliness, that he carries himself around with a grumpy exterior. But anyone that knows him, knows that is not how he really is. This man always carries himself with such joy when it comes to his patients and his friends. A truly remarkable trait. Something I personally admire deeply.

Apart form his sadness and grumpiness, what this shows is that Bones is the most human of them all. Jim and Spock, even with Spock not even being a human, assert their humanity a lot, which is wonderful. But out of the three of them, the one that was created to act as a moral compass, and the heart, was bones. He is the most human of them all, and I like to show these with quotes said directly by him.

“"Jim, every doctor and nurse from here to the Rim lives in hope that one day we'll wake up and find that everybody in the Universe is perfectly healthy and in possession of a signed certificate from God saying that they're going to die peacefully in their sleep. Then we can all retire and go fishing”

"You see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories. All of these things you'll never know simply because the word love isn't written into your book."

Apart form this, it has been shown countless times, that he has a strict moral compass which he follows even more than the rules, something a true heart would do

"To blazes with regulations! You can't let him take command when you know he's wrong." - McCoy to Spock on Commodore Decker

He is human, kind, caring, intelligent, and very very fun. He is a joy to watch on screen and the way he interacts with other characters just gives me life.

And yet again, he always feels alone. No love in his life, except for the few people that appreciate him and have the pleasure of calling themselves his friends.

I cannot explain, but he is wonderful, a role model, someone we should all aspire to be. And my feelings towards him are those of deep rooted admiration. He always manages to make me smile.

And so here, I leave one of my favorite inspirational quotes said by him:

"In this galaxy there's a mathamatical probability of three million Earth type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more... only one of each of us."

I have ranted too much. Do forgive me.

Los humanos necesitan más horas de sueño que los vulcanianos

Humans need more sleeping hours than Vulcans

"Spock y McCoy fueron a sentarse en un sofá para pasar el rato. Lo que Spock no se imaginaba es que Bones se quedaría dormido"

'Spock and McCoy went to sit on a sofa to hang out. What Spock didn't imagine was that Bones would fall asleep'

"Los últimos días, el doctor había estado muy ocupado encargándose de sus pacientes, tanto que no había tenido apenas tiempo para descansar. Por eso Spock pensó que sería lógico que despejara su mente una vez hubiera acabado"

'For the past few days, the doctor had been so busy taking care of his patients that he'd had little time to rest. So Spock thought it would be logical for him to clear his head once he was finished'

"El vulcaniano se sorprendió cuando McCoy apoyó su cabeza en su hombro, pero le permitió continuar así, esa sensación era bastante agradable. Y aunque Spock no necesitara dormir, cerró los ojos y se concentró en aquel sentimiento que jamás pensó que el doctor le provocaría"

'The Vulcan was surprised when McCoy rested his head on his shoulder, but he allowed him to continue, the feeling was quite pleasant. And even if Spock didn't need to sleep, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling he never thought the doctor would induce him'

Esto lo tendría que haber publicado ayer, pero cuando acabé ya era de noche y las fotos salían muy oscuras 😬

I should have posted this yesterday, but by the time I finished it was already too late at night and the pictures were too dark 😬.

¿Eres de bailar o no tienes ritmo (como yo xd)? ¿Qué harías si McCoy o Spock te pidiera bailar? ¿Qué estilo sería?

Are you a dancer or do you have no rhythm (like me xd)? What would you do if McCoy or Spock asked you to dance? What style would it be?

- "Mister Spock, wanna dance?"

He buscado referencias de personas bailando para dibujar esto. Me he fijado más en bailes españoles, concretamente flamencos.

I have looked for references of people dancing to draw this. I have focused more on Spanish dances, concretelly flamenco.

(Ayer se me olvidó cómo dibujar a Spock... Y, por cierto, no os fijéis en la manos ni los pies)

(Yesterday I forgot how to draw Spock... And, by the way, don't look at the hands and feet)

Ups, es la primera vez que Spock baila en serio y ha pisado a McCoy, pero Bones no se ha molestado (bastante que el vulcaniano ha aceptado su propuesta)

Oops, this is the first time Spock has danced seriously and stepped on McCoy's toes, but Bones didn't mind (enough that the Vulcan accepted his proposal)

- "Forgive me"

- "You're doin' it pretty well for a first time"

McCoy nunca pensó que acabaría bailando con Spock en alguna fiesta, pero aquí están. De hecho, está sorprendido de lo bien que maneja Spock la situación

McCoy never thought he'd end up dancing with Spock at a party, but here they are. In fact, he's surprised at how well Spock handles the situation

Con un paso algo arriesgado, el vulcaniano se gana al doctor. Menos mal que no acabaron en el suelo 😆

With a somewhat risky step, the Vulcan wins over the doctor. Good thing they didn't end up on the ground 😆

I don't usually like reboot universes because of the changes in personality of the characters (in fact I don't like AOS as much as I love TOS), but this post changes my mind.

The story is really ellaborated (in the good sense), and I love the fact that Jim is not so different from TOS (considering his difficult past).

This post had made me realise that AOS is as good as TOS and they can't be compared in terms of the quality of the story, because they're both great.

It's true that I will always like TOS better, but that's for a separate reason (specifically for Nimoy and DeForest Kelley 😆)

Reasons why Tarsus IV happened on AOS Star trek too - an analysis

Jim Kirk went to Tarsus IV. And survived.

While it’s never confirmed or commented on the reboot Star trek movies, you can see many hints about it if you take a closer look.

Me llamo Cristina. Soy una chica de 18 años (cumplo 19 en noviembre) española, concretamente salmantina (sé que no os interesa, pero ahí está el mapa).

I don't think I've ever introduced myself... It's about time

My name is Cristina (without h). I'm a Spanish 18 year old girl (I'll turn 19 in November) concretelly from Salamanca (I know you're not interested, but there's the map).

Estoy estudiando en la universidad la carrera de Química (ya he acabado el primer curso 😁). Lo gracioso es que las Matemáticas se me dan bastante bien, pero no me gusta la carrera de Matemáticas...

I'm studying Chemistry at university (I've already finished the first year 😁). The funny thing is that I'm quite good at Mathematics, but I don't like the Mathematics degree...

Tengo los rasgos físicos típicos de cualquier española, esto es, el pelo y los ojos oscuros y la piel clara.

Soy hetero. Me gusta escuchar música (hard rock), dibujar, escribir, Star Trek (🥰) y los videojuegos. A lo que más juego es Pokémon y Minecraft.

I have the typical physical features of any Spaniard, that's dark hair, dark eyes and light skin.

I like men (I mean I'm heterosexual xd). I like listening to music (hard rock), drawing, writing, Star Trek (🥰) and video games. What I play the most is Pokémon and Minecraft.

Lo que más me gusta en la vida es el humor. No hay nada como reírse, de cualquier cosa. No importa que sea un chiste ingenioso o una simple tontería; si me hace reír, ya me siento feliz. En cualquier asunto es necesario algo de humor, aunque sea algo serio (siempre con respeto y sin pasarse de la raya). La mejor manera de combatir un problema es con una buena carcajada 😉

What I like most in life is humour. There's nothing like laughing, at anything. It doesn't matter if it's a witty joke or just plain nonsense; if it makes me laugh, I'm happy. In any issue, some humour is necessary, even if it is serious (always with respect and without going too far). The best way to combat a problem is with a good laugh 😉

Soy una persona sensible, que se preocupa mucho por los demás, aunque no los conozca. Me suelo poner en la situación de otros y sentir por lo que están pasando. Tengo una tendencia a ayudar a la gente: aunque no pidan ayuda, yo me ofrezco, sin ánimo de lucro. Nunca pienso mal de la gente (en el sentido de que creo que todos son buenas personas). Por último, soy cauta, pienso mucho antes de hablar y mido bien mis palabras. Suelo ser sensata y buscar por la mayor eficiencia posible.

I am a sensitive person, who cares a lot about others, even if I don't know them. I tend to put myself in other people's situation and feel what they are going through. I have a tendency to help them: even if they don't ask for it, I offer myself, not for profit. I never think badly of anyone (in the sense that I think they are all good people). Finally, I am cautious, I think a lot before I speak and I measure my words well. I tend to be sensible and strive for the greatest possible efficiency.

Respecto al nombre que tengo en Tumblr, que es cristinardvaya, se debe a mi nombre (Cristina), mis apellidos (la r y la d) y ese vaya es porque es una palabra que uso mucho (quizás demasiado xd)

Regarding the name I have on Tumblr, which is cristinardvaya, it's because of my first name (Cristina), my surnames (the r and the d) and that vaya is because it's a word I use a lot (maybe too much xd).

This is terribly true. I don't really ship Spirk as much as I ship Spones, but a few tears escaped me while reading it. 😢😢

Oh, poor Spock! How much pain he is suffering!!

Spock is my favourite character (McCoy as well). I am a very sensitive and empathic person, so I could feel the emotions you mencioned. Such a wonderful analysis!! I LOVE!!!

And also the dedication of Nimoy developing his character... I wish there were more actors like him ❤️❤️

We all know that the song Maiden Wine slaps, but I was wondering about what it actually means.  And then I realized— if we take a minute to consider it in the context of Kirk and Spock’s relationship, it takes on a heartbreaking significance.

Hace un tiempo, me di cuenta de que el rock es mi género de música favorito, desde que descubrí It's my life de Bon Jovi. Unos años después, descubrí el grupo H.E.A.T., que tiene un estilo como el de Bon Jovi, pero sus canciones son algo más hard, y me encantó.

Some time ago, I realised that rock is my favourite genre of music, since I discovered It's my life of Bon Jovi. A few years later, I discovered the band H.E.A.T., which has a style like Bon Jovi's, but their songs are a bit harder, and I loved it.

Ahora, he probado a entrar en el metal (aunque no me gusta el metal puro, prefiero el hard rock), y hay alguna canción que me gusta. No creo que dure mucho, no disfruto igual.

Now, I've tried to get into metal (although I don't like pure metal, I prefer hard rock), and there are some songs that I like. I don't think it will last long, I don't enjoy it as much.

Pero un grupo que de verdad me ha llamado la atención, tanto por sus ritmos, melodías, significado de la letra de algunas de sus canciones... es Mägo de Oz. Es un grupo español de folk metal (no es tan metal como otros, y me encanta, sobre todo su estilo folk). Su canción más famosa es Fiesta pagana.

But one band that has really caught my attention, for their rhythms, melodies, meaning of the lyrics of some of their songs... is Mägo de Oz. It's a Spanish folk metal band (it's not as metal as others, and I love it, especially their folk style). Their most famous song is Fiesta pagana.

Pues este grupo tiene unas cuantas canciones que sus ritmos me tienen abstraída, como La danza del fuego (especialmente esta), El que quiera entender que entienda, Bandera negra o Molinos de viento.

Well, this group has a lot of songs whose rhythms keep me in awe, such as La danza del fuego (especially this one), El que quiera entender que entienda, Bandera negra or Molinos de viento.

Sin embargo, la de mayor importancia, por su significado, es La cantata del diablo. En esta critica la religión tradicional, es decir, la de la época de La Inquisición, también la actual (y eso me encanta, yo soy atea y no le encuentro ninguna lógica a la religión, ya que fue creada porque en el pasado los humanos no podían explicar las cosas y a todo le daban una explicación divina). El punto de este post es la parte de la canción cuando dicen claramente el porqué de escribir la canción, a partir del minuto 19 (dura 21 minutos la canción 😳). En esa parte no canta, tan solo habla, y por detrás está la melodía que más me gusta de la canción. Voy a escribir esa parte aquí. Eso sí, es mejor escucharla si sabes español y te gusta este tipo de canciones.

However, the most important, because of its significance, is La cantata del diablo. In this song they criticise traditional religion, that is to say, the religion of the time of the Inquisition, as well as the current one (and I love that, I am an atheist and I don't find any logic in religion, since it was created because in the past humans couldn't explain things and they gave everything a divine explanation). The point of this post is the part of the song when they clearly say why they write the song, from minute 19 (the song lasts 21 minutes 😳). In that part he doesn't sing, he just talks, and in the back is the melody that I like the most in the song. I'm going to write that part here. It is best to listen to it if you know Spanish and like this kind of songs (you can also listen to it if you don't know Spanish, in order to enjoy the rithm).

Lyrics of the end and translation:

Padre nuestro, de todos nosotros

De los pobres, de los sin techo

De los marginados y de los desprotegidos

De los desheredados y de los dueños de la miseria

De los que te siguen y de los que en ti, ya no creemos

Baja de los cielos

Pues aquí está el Infierno

Baja de tu trono

Pues aquí hay guerras, hambre, injusticias

No hace falta que seas uno y trino

Con uno solo que tenga ganas de ayudar

Nos bastaría

¿Cuál es tu reino? ¿El Vaticano?

¿La Banca? ¿La Alta Política?

Nuestro reino es Nigeria, Etiopía, Colombia, Hiroshima

El pan nuestro de cada día son las violaciones

La violencia de género

La pederastia, las dictaduras

El cambio climático

En la tentación caigo a diario

No hay mañana en la que no esté tentado de crear un Dios humilde, justo

Un Dios que esté en la tierra

En los valles, los ríos

Un Dios que viva en la lluvia

Que viaje a traves del viento

Y acaricie nuestra alama

Un Dios de los tristes, de los homosexuales

Un Dios más humano

Un Dios que no castigue, que enseñe

Un Dios que no amenace, que proteja

Que si me caigo, me levante

Que si me pierdo, me tienda su mano

Un Dios que si erro, no me culpe

Y que si dudo, me entienda

Pues para eso me dotó de inteligencia

Para dudar de todo

Padre Nuestro, de todos nosoros

¿Por qué nos has olvidado?

Padre nuestro, ciego sordo y desocupado

¿Por qué nos has abandonado?

Our Father, of us all

Of the poor, the homeless

Of the marginalised and the unprotected

Of the disinherited and the masters of misery

Of those who follow you and of those who no longer believe in you

Come down from the heavens

For here is Hell

Come down from your throne

For here there is war, famine, injustice

You need not be one and triune

Just one who wants to help

Would be enough for us

What is your kingdom? The Vatican?

Banking? High Politics?

Our kingdom is Nigeria, Ethiopia, Colombia, Hiroshima.

Our daily bread is rape

Gender violence

Pederasty, dictatorships

Climate change

I am tempted every day

There is not a morning in which I am not tempted to create a humble, righteous God

A God who is on earth

In the valleys, the rivers

A God who lives in the rain

Who travels through the wind

And caresses our soul

A God of the sad, of the homosexuals

A more human God

A God who does not punish, who teaches

A God who doesn't threaten, who protects

If I fall, he will pick me up

If I lose my way, he holds out his hand to me

A God who, if I err, will not blame me

And if I doubt, he understands me

For that is why he endowed me with intelligence

To doubt everything

Our Father, of all of us

Why have you forgotten us?

Our Father, our blind, deaf and unoccupied Father

Why have you forsaken us?

Tan solo quería concienciar a la gente que cree en eso. Para nada estoy contra ellos ni contra la religión, al contrario, cada uno tiene derecho a creer en lo que quiera. Lo que no me gusta es cómo se aprovechan los integrantes de la Iglesia de estas personas devotas, incluso llegando a "robarlos" y a radicalizarlos.I just wanted to raise awareness among people who believe in it. I am not against them or against religion at all, on the contrary, everyone has the right to believe in whatever they want. What I don't like is how the members of the Church take advantage of these devout people, even going so far as to "steal" them and radicalise them.

También me gustaría aumentar el repertorio de canciones de quién lea esto, si le gusta este estilo, claro 😉

I would also like to increase the repertoire of songs of whoever reads this, if you like this style, of course 😉.

Dejo al final unos links de YouTube de algunas canciones que he mencionado.

Here are some YouTube links to some of the songs I mentioned.

Mägo de Oz :

Fiesta pagana

El que quiera entender que entienda

Molinos de viento

La costa del silencio

La danza del fuego

Bandera negra

La cantata del diablo

H.E.A.T. (you can search for it)

Living on the run

Bon Jovi (they're very famous)

It's my life

I LOVE the dedication needed in this post.

Truly, Spones is a very underrated ship. It is even less famous than McKirk (Bones x Kirk). (Acording to some surveys, people make more fanart of McKirk than Spones)

This post gave me so many warm feelings, it's pure gold!

Thanks for taking your time doing it!

🥰🥰😊

Why Spones is a top-tier ship

AKA “the inherent homoeroticism of annoying the shit out of your co-worker.”

Spock and McCoy have a complicated relationship. A lot of their bickering and ideological differences lead fans to believe that they hate each other, but that’s an over-simplification of the truth. The reality is that Spock and McCoy are extremely close friends who care about each other deeply. Though sometimes their bickering turns serious during stressful situations, for the most time they seem to enjoy the banter. A common mischaracterization of their relationship seems to put McCoy as the bully and Spock as the victim. In truth, there are many times where Spock will say something specifically to get a rise out of McCoy. They fight. That’s how they show affection, not disdain. In fact, one could argue that some of their bantering have a flirtatious tone to it.

Kirk: Mister Spock, regaining eyesight would be an emotional experience for most. You, I assume, felt nothing.

Spock: On the contrary Captain. I had a very strong reaction. My first sight was the face of Doctor McCoy bending over me.

McCoy: ‘Tis a pity brief blindness didn’t increase your appreciation for beauty, Spock. (Operation – Annihilate!)

Últimamente no he podido dibujar nada. Tengo ahora los exámenes finales de la universidad y de la EOI (Escuela Oficial de Idiomas), así que no he tenido tiempo para nada, solo estudiar y descansar un poco.

En verano, a partir del día 17 de junio, ya estaré disponible al 100% para volver al cómic que estoy haciendo de Spones y a otros dibujitos como los que he subido anteriormente.

Agradezco la paciencia de las personas que quieren ver más Spones, yo también necesito una dosis diaria para sobrevivir jajajaj 😆

Lately, I couldn't draw anything. Currently, I have the final exams of the university and the Official School of Languages, so I had time for nothing, only studying and having some rest.

In summer, just after the 17th of June, I'll be 100% available to get back to the comic about Spones I'm making and to other drawings like the ones I've posted previously.

I recognize the pacience of the people who want to watch more Spones, I also need a daily dose of it to survive hahaha 😆

No me decidía a subir este dibujo...

Puede que me arrepienta, quizás sea demasiado

Estoy practicando cómo dibujar a dos personas besándose para el próximo cómic que haga

Quizás debería aprender primero cómo dibujar perspectiva y cuerpos

OMG 😳

En cuanto lo leí me pensé que lo había leído mal...

Una pena que no exista ese capítulo

Nobody:

Theodore Sturgeon: Anyway Spones is 𝓌𝒽𝒾𝓂𝓈𝒾𝒸𝒶𝓁 they should finger on national television

Seguramente esto ya lo haya pensado alguien, pero...

This has probably already been on someone's mind, but....

En la Tierra (aunque suene raro decirlo) muchas veces utilizamos el nombre de la persona que lo descubrió o inventó en partes del cuerpo, fórmulas, teorías...

On Earth (although it sounds strange to say it) we often use the name of the person who discovered or invented it in body parts, formulas, theories...

Lo más característico son las unidades para medir magnitudes (el tesla, el amperio, los hertzios...) o el nombre que tienen algunos elementos de la tabla periódica (Copernicio, Rutherfordio, Mendelevio... -estos nombres no son de descubridores-).

The most characteristic are the units for measuring magnitudes (tesla, ampere, Hertz...) or the name given to some elements of the periodic table (Copernicium, Rutherfordium, Mendelevium... -these names are not related to the ones who discovered them-).

Otros ejemplos serían, las leyes o ecuaciones de Maxwell en Física

Other examples are Maxwell's laws or equations in physics.

El complejo de Golgi en Biología

The Golgi aparatus in Biology

Los ácidos y bases de Brönsted-Lowry en Química

El triángulo de Tartaglia en Matemáticas

Tartaglia's triangle in Mathematics

Y muchos más que hay en ciencia.

And many more in science.

Todo el mundo de este planeta sabe esos nombres. Por eso, si alguien lo menciona, se sabe de qué se está hablando.

Everybody on this planet knows these names. So if someone mentions it, we know what they are talking about.

Pero... ¿Y en el hipotético caso de que nos encontráramos con una especie inteligente extraterrestre?

But... What if we were to meet an extraterrestrial intelligent species?

Humano 1: No se me mandan los mensajes aquí dentro.

Human 1: I can't get messages sent in here.

Humano 2: Sí, este edificio es una auténtica jaula de Faraday.

Human 2: Yes, this building is a real Faraday cage.

Extraterrestre: ¿De qué estarán hablando?

Extraterrestrial: What are they talking about?

(Para quien no sepa qué es una jaula de Faraday, puede buscarlo en internet, pero su funcionamiento básico es el de no dejar que tenga campo eléctrico en su interior)

(For those who don't know what a Faraday cage is, you can look it up on the internet, but its basic function is to not let an electric field be inside it)

Lo que quiero llegar a decir, es que ponemos nombres a las cosas en honor a sus descubridores, pero no tenemos en cuenta que son nombres que solo nosotros entendemos.

What I am getting at is that we name things after their discoverers, but we do not take into account that they are names that only we understand.

Llevando esto a Star Trek, los humanos del Enterprise saben bien a qué se refieren cuando hablan. ¿Y Spock? ¿Se aprendió todos esos nombres para comprender a los ilógicos humanos con los que convive? Si lo hizo, seguramente no sepa todos. ¿Y en Vulcano también tienen nombres así para describir cosas parecidas?

Bringing this back to Star Trek, the humans on the Enterprise know what they mean when they talk. What about Spock, did he learn all those names to understand the illogical humans he lives with? If he did, he probably doesn't know all of them. And do they have names like that to describe similar things on Vulcan?

Bones: Spock, ¿en los vulcanianos los islotes de Langerhans cuánta insulina producen?

Bones: Spock, in Vulcans, how much insulin do the islets of Langerhans produce?

Spock: 🤨 ... Perdóneme, doctor. ¿Los islotes de... quién?

Spock: 🤨 ... Forgive me, Doctor. The islets of... whom?

(Son un grupo de células que produce insulina en el páncreas)

(These are a group of cells that produces insulin in the pancreas)

Pensando sobre esto también se ve que estas casualidades también ocurren entre nosotros mismos. La manera más clara de verlo es con las unidades de medida de la distancia, el peso o la capacidad. Tenemos metros, millas, yardas, pulgadas... Y cada una de esas unidades se define según un criterio aleatorio (por eso se creó el Sistema Internacional de Unidades).

Thinking about this also shows that these coincidences also occur among ourselves. The clearest way to see this is with the units of measurement of distance, weight or capacity. We have metres, miles, yards, inches.... And each of these units is defined according to a random criterion (that is why the International System of Units was created).

Si varia mucho de unas regiones a otras en nuestro planeta, ¿qué nos hace pensar que no variará en otros?

If it varies greatly from one region of our planet to another, what makes us think that it will not vary in other planet?

¿Y el tiempo? Los segundos se definen así:

What about time? The seconds are defined like this:

Un segundo es la duración de 9 192 631 770 oscilaciones de la radiación emitida en la transición entre los dos niveles hiperfinos del estado fundamental del isótopo 133 del átomo de cesio (133Cs), a una temperatura de 0 K.

One second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 oscillations of the radiation emitted in the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the 133 isotope of the caesium atom (133Cs), at a temperature of 0 K.

Esto quiere decir que un segundo se mide en referencia a las oscilaciones de la radiación entre niveles cuánticos determinados de energía de un átomo de Cesio, de un isótopo determinado, y a una temperatura determinada (que resulta ser el 0 absoluto, algo que no se ha alcanzado nunca en un laboratorio). Se llegó a esta definición gracias a que, desde siempre, se llevaba utilizado esta fracción de tiempo (debido a lo que tarda la Tierra en dar una vuelta alrededor del Sol) y la intentaron acomodar a algo relacionado con la materia.

El problema viene cuando en otros planetas el tiempo de traslación no es de 365 días (aproximadamente). Ya es difícil que coincida la forma de medir el tiempo en ese planeta con la de la Tierra tardando el mismo tiempo en dar una vuelta alrededor del Sol, por eso ya no digo si no tarda lo mismo.

This means that a second is measured in reference to the oscillations of radiation between given quantum energy levels of a Cesium atom, of a given isotope, and at a given temperature (which happens to be absolute 0, something that has never been achieved in a laboratory). This definition was arrived at because this fraction of time (due to the time it takes the Earth to go around the Sun) has always been used and they tried to fit it to something related to matter.

The problem comes when on other planets the translation time is not 365 days (approximately). It is already difficult for the way of measuring time to coincide with the one in the Earth if it takes the same time to go around the Sun, so I don't say if it doesn't take the same time.

Lo que quiero llegar a decir es que todo lo que conocemos está relativizado. Intentamos acomodar nuevos descubrimientos a teorías que ya conocemos que creemos que son ciertas y tememos tener que borrar todo y empezar de nuevo. Tenemos miedo de pensar que lo que sabemos es mentira. Porque, en realidad, sabemos muy poco del mundo que nos rodea, y si el mundo nos hace ver que estamos equivocados y no conocemos nada sobre esta vida, nos invade una sensación de soledad, duda y sobrecogimiento que nos hace sentir míseros, pequeños y pasajeros en este infinito universo.

What I am trying to say is that everything we know is relativised. We tend to fit new discoveries to theories we already know that we believe they're true and we are afraid of having to erase everything and start all over again. We fear to think that what we know is a lie. Because, certainly, we know very little about the world around us, and if the world makes us realise that we are wrong and know nothing about this life, we are overcome with a sense of loneliness, doubt and awe that makes us feel miserable, small, transient in this infinite universe.

Perdón por este post tan largo. Todo esto es muy profundo, y espero que hayáis llegado hasta aquí y entendido mi mensaje. Gracias 🖖😄

Sorry for this long post. This is all very deep, and I hope you have made it this far and understood my message. Thank you 🖖😄

Hace mucho que no subo ningún dibujo, he estado ocupada con los estudios. He aquí uno. ¿Es Mirror!Spock con McCoy en el Mirror o con Mirror!McCoy en el universo normal? Yo no sé la respuesta, que cada uno considere 😉

Estoy practicando cómo dibujar a estos dos con diferentes expresiones. A veces me resulta difícil hacer que se parezcan 😬
