If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.

If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.

- Was eventually trialed by governments of the world as a scapegoat and sent to prison

- She somehow BROKE out of said prison and currently commandeers a rogue paramilitary faction of Project Hail Mary loyalists who believe in her over world governments, who presumably are still hunting her down

- She currently is on the run and staying mobile on an ice breaker ship like some kind of james bond villain base (but you know, good) while STILL working on project hail mary the whole time

- Her rogue loyalist faction controlled enough resources they could go to space and collect the beetles Grace had sent. Alternatively, it was the world government that collected the beetles, and Stratt had a whole ass heist movie to steal them, which is why she had the little xenonite figure at the end of the movie. Either ways she was running circles around them.

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

Budget-eater anime episode, feed me with energy. 🙏

They did so well with the expression and showing how sweaty they were by the end of the performance.

Elizabetta looks even better with her hair all messy, but her beauty is the strongest of all! so it should not be a surprise at all! (Honestly I was just surprised at how good the anime team transfer that beauty into the anime form because anime is notoriously famous to trim down physical features for convenience or various restrictions, but this team is just so good.)

This fucking episode is so expensive that for a little bit they went with the Gintama exterior strategy when Soi appeared. It worked because it showed that his trumpet music was heard all the way outside, but we all know it was to cut some budget and keep a bit of the animators' sanity. The sliding motion too. Not bad, but I can't help but to notice these things because that's part of my enjoyment. You need to be strategic with your resources after all and I appreciate their choices.

This anime has gone for four seasons and I trust them not to ever disappoint me because there is no other anime that has ever managed to maintain my trust for this long. Great direction, amazing music, source material fidelity unquestionable, spectacular cast, wonderful animation. Can't wait for the Akudol Games arc.

Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.

So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.

Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.

eehh it comes up eventually. Once all the emotions of like, finding out humanity's hero is alive, reuniting with their long dead favorite middle school teacher, dealing with the actual mission they were send to do, meeting with the welcoming Eridian delegation, once that settles down? Then- not long!
