I love you guys
I love the people who decided I was interesting enough to be followed. ;w;
I’m pretty much shocked this isn’t on every Tumblog ever.
Testing the media: Weighed and found wanting
I’ve told my spawn about the Bechdel Test, and come up with a comparative test of my own.
And let me tell you, it’s a hard test for most movies to pass.
I’m calling it the “Brown Test” lest egomania strike me down and I name it after myself. Who the hell would want to pass the ‘Nutter Test? But I digress.
The Bechdel Test goes thusly:
1) Does the movie/show contain

Star Trekking across the Universe...
I’ve actually already written a little snippet for this, but I’d like to see what you do. First Contact scenario with an explorator ship, and a bridge officer says to Captain James, completely seriously, “It’s life Jim, but not as we know it”. Cue laughing and singing from someone else on the bridge, a classic sci-fi and filk fan, just as the first audio transmissions between the two species start.

‘I want… I want respect,’ said Jason at last, 'I want to get what I deserve, to live proper. Like you said…er…. boss, I’m better than those bums, I got powers. Why the hell should I live in the streets?’
Magneto nodded. 'Well said,’ he rumbled, 'and you’re right, it is a great injustice that people such as us should be treated so by the

Fusion Power has been “thirty years away” for more than thirty years now, due to a combination of lack of funding and public apprehension about anything with the word “nuclear” appended to it. What would it take to change that?

“What, all of it?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Even the shale?”
“Yes, sir.”
“All of the coal. All of the oil.”
Weatherby began to wonder how many different ways

Continued from yesterday:
When the X-Men finally left the sewers, it was with heavy hearts and a sense of importunable dread at something indefinable, yet close. None of them could forget the rainbow of expressions flitting fitfully across Nightcrawler’s face, and Scott might have given his eye teeth to have Jean there as telepathic translator, had he not been so certain to keep her away from all things blue and fuzzy.
Nightcrawler was even more het up about this whole

Humanity finally recognises another species on this planet as sapient, and deserving of more than animal rights, even if those are different to human rights… and all it took was them beating us over our collective heads with a metaphorical stick.

We swim. We hunt. We talk. They used us, the land-walkers. Experimented on us. Made us into weapons. Made us into things to render safe their horrible devices.
They are clever, those land-walkers. But not clever enough.
We have

‘It’s just the time of year,’ sighed the winged woman, 'makes me think sad things, sometimes.’
'Like what?’
'Like my family.’
Niota’s face crinkled with confusion, 'why’s it sad to have a family. I like having a family, even if we’re not properly related or nuthin’.’
Kaze smiled warmly at the little figure, 'I’m not sad becaue I have a family, I&

A Time Cop’s reaction to being told he has to undo something that a time traveller did to change history (against the law), but reduced human suffering across history.

Lynn stared at the picture. “That’s Evan Miikos. One of the pioneers of time travel. I’m supposed to arrest him?”

After the fiasco with the paints, lights and the spaghetti, the Warren decided that some sort of ‘proper’ decoration was needed.
So it was that, after fishing up some funding the, Humane Foundation started to be decked in large amounts of gold and silver tinsel.
Everyone joined in, Kaze and Warren flew round the rooms, hanging decorations on hard to reach nooks and crannies in the walls. Sandra organized teams of volunteers, putting them to tasks ranging

Sara is well-known - some might say almost infamous - for her ability to leave others confused and speechless without even really working at it or meaning to do so, just by simply wondering about something out loud.
So turn that around - have someone else’s offhanded remark or casually-voiced idle thought leave her thrown off-guard and quietly puzzled by its randomness.

Nightcrawler surveyed the winged man for a moment, looking for any sign of deceit in his angelic features, but finding none.
“Thank you.” He said finally.
“No problem.” Warren smiled.
“Now…if you could find that coat?”
“You’re just gonna leave?” Warren was flabbergasted. “What about the others? Logan? Niota? JEAN?”
Nightcrawler arched a brow at the way he emphasised her name.
“What about them?
