the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are
the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don’t seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs
the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years
the Tellarites, who don’t like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and
humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower
like imagine you’re the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who’ve barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others’ guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry
2024-től a Magyar Rádió is élőben közvetíti az augusztus 20-i tüzijátékot. - Kedves hallgatóink, elkezdődött! Egy nagy piros gömb robbant szét az imént az égen, de már emelkedik fel a fehér rakéták sora is az égnek, miközben a hídról hófehér tűzfolyam indult a folyóra!
i saw a really cool butterfly expert man on PBS and was so in awe of him and his butterfly knowledge i tracked down the episode online to see how to spell his name and found his twitter and followed him, only for the next day to awaken to him having read not only my webcomic, but also my livetweets saying how i wanted to marry the butterfly man. he said he was flattered. anyway the moral of the story is please don’t underestimate how far down your twitter a bored entomologist will scroll, and also the internet was a mistake.
“friend” being defined here as someone you actually like, hang out with, and can talk to regularly about anything (outside of your family). disregarding people you only know online of course.
please don’t be an ass in the notes. as someone who is disabled, mentally unwell, and trans, i’m making this post with other people like that in mind who find more comfort in online spaces. so act accordingly.
