Lemme Post Something Cute. My D&D Characters

reptiles really went off with basking on warm rocks. i’ve done it before and honestly? it fucks

I just realized Lemony Snicket named Montgomery Montgomery the way he did because he works with a lot of snakes and "Monty" is short for montgomery.

In other words:

They're Monty's Pythons

Just you wait there’s gonna be some tiny, seemingly insignificant detail in the statements of episode 7 or 8 that ends up being crucial to the whole series, and we’re gonna find out that we all fell for Alexander J Newall dangling TMA references in front of us the way you distract a toddler with keys.

Or Keays, I suppose.

one of my favourite things about star trek tos is the fight scenes where the men are flagrantly NOT william shatner, like they don’t even have vaguely the same body type or hairstyle, and they just hoped we wouldn’t notice because it’s a wide shot

Normalise or tell me to get a therapist over feeling:

An immense amount of guilt daily but not always acting on it because its a horrible motivator. I want to help and fix and heal but I feel stuck and that I can't and that I'm useless.

That this guilt eats me up every time I think about it. That I still don't look up and search what I can do. That I put me and my mother's future above others. That I choose to sit on money I know can help the homeless/refugees, choosing to save it so I can buy a house to secure my mother's retirement. Choosing to use money I inherited. Not money I earnt. I don't know how to live with myself.

I do love me some science

It is a chronic illness 🥺

Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.—NICHELLE NICHOLS
