✨USS BIMBO - CAPTAIN’S BLOG✨

Hey nonny, thank you so much for the kind words, I am happy you enjoy my art so much! 🧡 I am very sorry for not posting on Tumblr anymore and abandoning everyone on here, but I just cannot with good faith feed all my stuff into Midjourney AI by posting it on here, even with Glaze and Nightshade added on, it just feels bad knowing it will DEFINITELY end up in the dataset. I have deleted my instagram for the same reason. :(( About Cara! I would say art appreciators are welcome, too! You have a social feed to which you can share memes, posts, and art you enjoy. You also have a dedicated bookmark system with folders, so you can collect the posts you like. But especially the social feeds make it worth it for non-artists as well, I'd say. It is a combo of both portfolio and a social like twitter/tumblr- SPEAKING OF, if that is still too art-centric for you, I have also hopped on twitter successor Bluesky. Which can lovingly be described as a cross between twit and tumblr (the good parts), and I am very active on there. So that is also an option, especially if you miss the memes, shitposts, and Tasky stanning, as it is heavy on them! PS, both sites can also be accessed without making an account at all, so you could technically just bookmark them and check in on it every once in a while. :) Or if all that is too much, my discord has a public channel to which art updates get posted! I hope any of these options can help you 🧡

I skeeted (that’s Bluesky for “posted”) at Mike McMahan on a lighthearted reply to someone who had missed First Contact Day, riffing on my initial suggestion not to worry because there’s always Second Contact Day. My impromptu message to Mike asked if he would object to using the anniversary date of Star Trek: Lower Decks series premiere episode “Second Contact” as the date for a fandom celebration date, which coincidentally also shares another important date in Star Trek history- Lucille Ball’s birthday, who many Trekkies know gave Star Trek its first second chance.

And to that silly inquiry, Mike gave his very serious and important and legally binding emoji blessing.

And then today the news broke that Lower Decks would be ending after a fifth season.

News which seemed to catch even some of the creatives with the show off guard (a now deleted skeet that mentioned dismay may have been a clue to that end) [quick edit to update: after i posted this i saw Jack Quaid’s instagram post which basically made it clear that this was unexpected and for him, at least, they wanted to continue, but Paramount instead chose not to renew] But whatever happened, in light of that news, and how most likely Mike already knew the fate of the show when he replied in support of fans celebrating Star Trek through Lower Decks, the idea of a Second Contact Day means that much more now.

Lower Deckers, let’s stick together

HAPPY SECOND CONTACT DAY!!

We’re celebrating a lot on bluesky- but please join the fun wherever you post!
