To Steal A Quote, It’s Called “girl Power”, Not “girl Ethics”.

@coppermarigolds eeee! :D

I had to break in my new Surface Pro and make a quick shitty sketch of Kuvira as Iden Versio because how the shit has no one made the resemblance yet?

I mean they both fall in love with top notch dork ass engineers too what more do you want

Through determination and sheer bloody-mindedness, that’s how! Seriously, though, congrats. :D

Daily Kuvira #100

Holy crap how have I gone 100 gawt damn days of doing this so far?

“Congratulations son, you’ve reinvented Romulans.” (Actually I imagine most Romulans would find these guys incredibly tedious to be around.)

Honestly, you’re actually one of the most interesting people I know, and I’m glad I got to know you.

i know im not very interesting but i try so hard that you should all humor me

today Meatball abruptly realized that there are refugee office plants in the kitchen (they have been there for weeks) and has decided his singular purpose in life is to eat them 

I wish all writers who haven’t been able to write in a long time bc of depression a very I love u and I promise u will write again

Well, as it turns out, I managed to pick the right ship.

This big beautiful girl here is the U.S.S. Madiha Nakar, NX-122030. While she is what Star Trek Online calls a “science command battlecruiser” (even though she’s bigger than the Enterprise-D, she’s a “battlecruiser”), her appearance is a kitbash of the saucer and neck of the Geneva-class science CBC with the engineering hull, nacelles, and pylons of a Presidio-class tactical CBC.

As the name implies, her main role in battle is to command and support the rest of the fleet. To that end she has a hangar deck full of runabouts to harass and hinder enemy ships, three types of automated turrets to deploy around the battlefield, and the ability to give massive bonuses to other ships in her team if she survives in combat and uses a lot of abilities. (She could also be further optimized with bridge officers with specialized command abilities, but I prefer to be a space wizard and throw science magic all over the place.)

As for loadouts, I’ve kitted her out with a whole pile of Romulan endgame gear (hence the green), which means that in battle she spends most of her time spraying firey green death plasma in every direction. She’s not my favorite starship in STO, but whenever I need to throw a lot of damage at something and I’m not sure what’s waiting for me, she’s the one I go to and she’s always served me well.

Stupid-serious question: if Madiha Nakar was a starship, what kind of starship would she be?

Some kind of flagship with a lot of battlefield analysis and C&C equipment.

So instead of making the story about the political maneuvering in the former EK they’re going all-in on the mind-control plotline? Sigh... At this point, I think it’s safe to say that Bryke don’t know how to write political stories. Every time they introduce a political topic like relations between benders and non-benders in Republic City or discord between the two Water Tribes, they always end up walking it back, changing the subject, or having the issue hinge on some piece of magic or technology rather than on the thoughts and actions of the characters. There’s no shame in not having the knack for writing politics, but when you keep trying to do it despite making a hash of it every time, you really need to step back and reconsider a few things. Heck, Faith Erin Hicks is handling the divisions in proto-Republic City in the AtLA comics far better than Bryke ever did. On a more speculative note, a part of me wonders if DiMartino is actually going to go so far as to walk back the end of B4 and Kuvira ruler of the Earth Kingdom again. Wouldn’t that be a hell of a thing. (Also, is it just me, or Asami just become a damsel in distress for Korra to save ever since their relationship began?)

It’s Korra and Kuvira vs Mako, Bolin, and Asami in The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire Part 3!

We now have the cover and description and they come with a major bombshell: Part Two is still months out and Part Three even further after that, but Mako, Bolin, and Asami become brainwashed and turned against Korra, along with others across the Earth Kingdom, .

This could be the result of the scientific experiments using spirit energy the Earth Empire remnant was conducting.

This is actually kind of exciting because we’ve never seen Team Avatar battle each other before and that’s now a possibility. Of course, Korra should realistically have a much higher base power level, but who knows what the spirit energy experiments have up their sleeve…

Here’s the full description:

“Kuvira’s true nature is revealed, and the Earth Kingdom will feel the consequences!

Thanks to Commander Guan and Doctor Sheng’s brainwashing technology, all hope for a fair election in the Earth Kingdom is lost. Korra works with Toph, Su, and Kuvira to plan a means to rescue not just the brainwashed Mako, Bolin, and Asami, but everyone else caught up in Guan’s plan! With the Earth Empire potentially on the rise again, Kuvira pulls another trick from her sleeve … but whose side is she truly on?”

You can see the cover and description for Part Two here. It comes out November 12th.

Part Three arrives on February 25th, 2020.

What happened? I haven’t been following the show, but I’m vaguely aware they did something with Spock in the latest episode.

Wtf, Strange New Worlds is making me hate Star Trek
