WWMWD (what would michael wazowski do)

sivi met his granddaughter tonight

he did not like it

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him:

As I pulled myself back toward the airlock, I heard Pasha talking to me: “It’s time to come back in.” I realized I had been floating free in space for over 10 minutes. In that moment my mind flickered back for a second to my childhood, to my mother opening the window at home and calling to me as I played outside with my friends, “Lyosha, it’s time to come inside now.”

Okay, let’s do this one last time, yeah? For real this time. This is it. My name is Miles Morales.

Telephone Booths, Richard Estes, 1967

i recommend this site! basically its an image database that is especially intended to be used as textures in digital art (2D and 3D).

the star wars universe has no official name but in fandom you’ll see it shortened to GFFA for “galaxy far, far away”

glass - transparisteel

metal used in construction - durasteel

very strong space-plastic (used in stormtrooper armor) - duraplast

tablet computer (analogous to a PADD in trek) - datapad

rather than paper, handwriting is usually done with a stylus on flimsiplast (flimsi/flimsy for short)

holos are 3-d videos or videomessages, recorded and played on a holoprojector (these are often seen in small formats, palm-sized - analogous to like. a GoPro.)

we don’t drive cars, we drive landspeeders or speeder bikes

we don’t shoot guns, we shoot blasters

if you didn’t bring a knife to a gun fight, you perhaps brought a vibroblade instead - an edged weapon that, you guessed it, vibrates. little ones could be called vibroshivs or vibroknives. we actually got to see polearm versions of these in The Mandalorian! it was very exciting.

robots in GFFA are, of course, droids. astromech droids (astromechs) are the like. iphones of the droid world - ubiquitous, multipurpose, most with a similar aesthetic. R2-D2 and BB-8 are both astromech droids. human-shaped droids like C-3P0 are protocol droids.

got a papercut? a nasty flesh wound? a missing chunk of your torso, perhaps? slap a bacta-patch on it or take a dip in a bacta tank for a soothing treatment with this all-purpose miracle healing goo. this is what diapered Luke is bobbing around in during the early part of Empire Strikes Back.

you’re supposed to say kriff/kriffing instead of “damn,” “shit,” or “fuck/fucking,” but this is for cowards. let Obi-Wan cuss.

midichlorians - ignore them.

before the Empire comes to power, baby jedi who can’t hack it as knights or are never chosen to be Padawan apprentices become members of the Service Corps, the branches of which are the Agricultural Corps (AgriCorps), Medical Corps (MedCorps), Educational Corps (EduCorps), Exploration Corps (ExplorCorps)

dates are expressed (typically) as [date] Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) or [date] After the Battle of Yavin (ABY). for instance, the sequel trilogy begins in 34 ABY.
