“This is a love story, isn’t it?”
we all have that one homie who volunteers to take first watch that they might contemplate the heavens in solitude
Fool that he is, not realizing that it then falls to him to comfort the party member most troubled by their burdens when sleep eludes them.
“you’re not man enough, not feminine enough”
so gender is something we can fail?
that means gender is not genetic and absolute and unchangeable
but something we can build and perform, and fail at (the standards they set) but also redefine?
if i can fail at being a woman, does that mean i’m not a woman? so does that make me another gender?
i agonized for 15 minutes about the wording of my post and you manage to simplify it with a perfect mean girls reference
what happened to the skeleton war, you guys used to love the skeleton war

Humans in Space are surprisingly safe
When Aliens first got access to human ships the thing that surprised them most was the sheer number of safety systems on board. Surely a species as tough as humans would not need to be protected from anything?
But everywhere they checked they found multiple failsafes, safety protocols, and safety nets protecting everything from the weapons system to the coffee machine.
Some of these systems were so specific they wondered why or how the humans had come up with them and why they spent the effort fitting them to their ships.
Their questions were answered when humans first started working on an alien ship.
Within the first month the human crew members had:
Burned themselves
Stabbed themselves
“Strategically amputated” an arm (then reattached it without much fuss)
Spaced themselves on more than one occasion
Been electrocuted by the food despenser
Exploded four computer terminals
And secretly grown a cat in one of the science labs
After that the Aliens sent a request to the human council for a copy of their safety protocols
And also learnt the meaning of the term “idiot proofing”Oh hey this got 2.7k notes when I wasn’t looking.
The Cat’s name is Captain Kirk
all blonde men deserve to be put through an evil maze against an evil spectre of themselves who sows deep worries and thoughts about themselves
