Butt in orbit

Every break in the action the Dutch commentator is just talking about the corruption of Infantino and the USA, and the absolute disgrace of Trump getting the red card "suspended", lol

ah cool the ref giving away free kicks to the USA of course. And now it's 1-1. Dutch commentator: the USA really needed some help like this from the referee.

more attempts at cheating by the americans. he kicked someone elses foot and now he's crying on the floor asking for a penalty, lmao

Dutch commentator: "the biggest chance the USA still have of coming back from this is either a miracle or another phonecall from the White House, and that's a lot more likely"

the ref cheats belgium out of an obvious corner, cool cool

Commentator: Seems like the American Dream has turned into a nightmare

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

@sineala

#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan

Elsewhere, w/ kuvak: “….my day has come.”

I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they are “distant xenophobes” or “horny on main for humanity”. Also apparently this guy is Spock’s great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.

Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkar’s descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so I’m not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkar’s descendants and humans, but I’m also not….not….saying that.

actual footage of first contact makeouts

And so we find out that yes, there is such a thing as bottoming in Pon-farr.

Every time this post comes round my dash, it just gets better.

#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew it (via kittykatthetacodemon)

This is my favourite Star Trek post, complete with headcanons, corrections, the truth coming out of her well to shame Spock even. Seriously perfect fandom work.

They could have explained none of it and responded to the offered hand with a polite bow. First contact was gonna be with the guy who proved they were technologically ready for it but any human aware of Japan and China would recognise that

in the first episode of the original star trek series spock says "one of my ancestors married a human female" and later in the show we find out that said ancestor is in fact his dad who married his mom who is human

OH

“imagine there’s no countries” fuck off john lennon how are we supposed to play the world cup without countries you ultimate scum

I adore this.

Oh, this is remarkably of its era. I was just viscerally launched back to the specific amalgamation of meme printouts my roommate and I decorated our bulletin boards with senior year of college.

And also the indestructibility of that woman's ankles
