Sometimes I really miss my old tumblr days and being the heart of the martin and lewis fandom. But now I know like no one and am like 10 years (or even more. God.) Older than everyone and I just am here for ya'll to go through my archives of yesteryear. 🤣

❄Bisig!

❄ OC in what they’d wear on a very cold day

I already have a "winter outfit" for Bisig on her character sheet, but I hadn't drawn it in a while, so it got a little update~

From this OC outfit ask meme. Thank you very much for the ask! :D

Also, for anyone reading this who might not know, I spent the entirety of December last year drawing Bisig getting up to winter shenanigans, and it's very cute.

2009 VS 2023

Lowkey wish I hadn't got involved with dw fandom, it can be fun at times but it's also taken the joy out of a lot of things

bring this back pls

as much as i miss this place myself nowadays... i'm not sure we can or should. i feel that the community is a place that has changed beyond recognition? i wouid not even know where to start. however, never be a stranger though! 😊

After all the drama with Lärä and her untimely death, Lanti has been feeling really empty.

The things he used to enjoy feel really boring done alone. Lärä was really all he had.

He has started to play some piano. it's a little notalgic treat for him from a time before he had even met Lärä.

hello, fey here! i am the one who brought you the hypmic social media AU that is currently being posted on an (almost) daily basis! i thought it would be pretty convenient to make a masterpost to keep things a bit tidy and organized!

this thread will get expanded once in a while, so it works best to reblog/like it or anything to keep looking back at it!

THE PLOT.

for now the social media doesn't have a direct plot and currently consists of mini stories. i am trying to keep those stories under the current image posting limit (10 images), but if a mini story needs more than that, then it will be parted in two! the mini stories should give you an introduction to the characters, as ships MAY happen in the future as well, and the osaka and nagoya divisions will be added respectfully.

this section will get expanded as soon as there will be a plot.

Battlestar Galactica (1978)

It’s Notalgic Thursday, and so time to take you back to one of my favorite older science fiction series ever - Battlestar Galactica.  This will be strictly about the 1978 series - it won’t go into detail about the 1980 series, or talk much about the 2000s version at all.

I only ever saw a couple of episodes of 1980, which - imo - wasn’t very good.  It lacked almost all the characters I cared about, and it just didn’t live up to the 1978 series to me.  I have never watched the remake. And, full disclosure, I never will.  Everyone tells me it’s really good, but honestly, I simply can’t make myself watch it since it will never be Battlestar Galactica to me. (I also had some very bad experiences with newer fans who endlessly badmouthed the 1978 version, and NGL - that helped turn me against it.)

Battlestar Galactica (1978), however, I grew up watching.  I loved it then; I love it now.  And I think it’s kind of a shame that more people don’t love it.

In Battlestar Galactica 1978, the humans of the Twelve Colonies have been at war with a robotic race known as the Cylons for one thousand years.  The Cylons are warrior robots created by a reptilian race that expired long ago, presumably destroyed by their own creations before the humans ever settled on the twelve planets.  The show does not explain what happened to the original homeworld, only notes that there is supposed to be a thirteenth tribe of humans who instead of settling in the same galaxy as the Twelve Colonies, settled on a legendary planet known as Earth. This becomes important later, but for now, let's get back to the current war between Cylons and Humans.

We begin the show when - supposedly - a peace has been reached with the Cylons and everyone is celebrating that the war is finally over.  However, the peace treaty turns out to be a ruse.  The Cylons used the peace treaties to gather the Battlestars - the battleships of the colonies that have helped keep the Cylons at bay for so long - all in one place so they can destroy first them then the homeworlds.

However, Commander Adama, who is in charge of a Battlestar by the name of Galactica, is suspicious of the peace treaty and sends out two pilots on a recon mission while waiting for the arrival of the Cylons to the peace talks.  It is meant to consist of his son, the squadron leader Captain Apollo, and Lieutenant Starbuck - who are two of the series' main characters.  At the last minute, however, Apollo’s younger brother Zac convinces Starbuck to let him go in his place.  (Look, don’t ask why a guy named Adama, who has a son named Apollo and a daughter named Athena, named his youngest son Zac.  It will forever be among the unanswered questions of the series.)

While on the recon, Apollo and Zac discover the hidden Cylon fleet armed and ready to attack and race back towards the Galactica to try and warn them.  However, Zac is killed by the Cylons before reaching the fleet.  The president of the Council of Twelve, the political leaders of the Twelve Colonies, refuses to listen to Adama’s warning of an impending attack.  Part of this is due to the machinations of Count Baltar, the human behind the peace treaty, who has sold out the Twelve Colonies to the Cylons in return for his own homeworld being spared. (A promise the Cylons also break in the end. More on that later.)  This means that when the Cylon fleet attacks, only the Battlestar Galactica is ready for battle and able to launch its fighters (Vipers).  The rest of the Battlestars are destroyed, leaving the homeworlds defenseless except for Galactica - which cannot hope to take on the Cylon fleet alone and win.

It is decided that their only chance of survival is for humans to abandon the twelve colonies and run from the Cylons. Adama is who suggests searching for the legendary thirteenth tribe and the planet they settled on - Earth.  The search for Earth, and safety from the Cylons, is the main arc of the series.  A few times the fleet thinks they may have reached safety, only for them to find this isn’t the case.  They are often barely a few steps ahead of the Cylons - and the only protection is the Battlestar Galactica and their fighter squadrons.

Baltar, meanwhile, is originally going to be killed by the Cylons - having already served his usefulness.  However, when a ruse of Apollo’s and Starbuck’s manages to destroy the ship of the original Cylon leader, the new Cylon leader opts to spare Baltar instead.  The new leader puts Baltar in charge of tracking down and destroying the Galactica, in return for sparing his life.  This sets up Baltar as the series antagonist alongside the Cylons.  He is given his own Basestar (a Cylon ship), and the audience is introduced to his Cylon second-in-command - Lucifer.  Honestly, as an evil duo, Baltar and Lucifer were excellent.  Both were extremely intelligent and conniving, and while Lucifer was officially placed on the ship to supposedly keep an eye on Baltar, he openly expresses his admiration for Baltar’s intelligence several times.  Not that Lucifer lets that stop him from plotting against Baltar time or two  It’s also hinted that Lucifer has his eye on the position of The Supreme Leader of the Cylons.  So we actually get a hint of Cylon politics through their interactions as well.

Aside from the search for Earth, and the constant threat of Baltar and the Cylons, there are several other themes that carry through various episodes.  One of the main ones is politics.  There is a constant push and pull between The Council of Twelve and Adama, with certain members of the political council constantly trying to undermine him and seize power for themselves.  There is also a constant worry over having enough food and supplies for the entire fleet.  As the series continues political unrest does not just come from the original division of The Twelve Colonies or The Council of Twelve - but from between the different ships in the fleet as well.

The series does not shy away from the fact that while the main characters living on the Battlestar live in comfort, not everyone in the fleet is so lucky.  The ships are filled to the brim, not all of them are in the best condition seeing as every possible ship that could fly is among the fleet.  Food is not equally distributed among them initially.  In fact, in one episode Adama literally goes to where one of the Council of Twelve is basically having a feast despite the fact that some of their people on other ships are all but starving, and forcefully takes food from his ship to distribute to others.

Honestly, Adama has some of the best scenes when it comes to the darker side of the series.  In an early episode, during one of the political struggles between Adama and the Council of Twelve, Athena visits her father only to find him drinking silently in his cabin.  Adama reveals to the audience that not everyone who survived the Cylon attack was able to fit upon the ships that comprise the fleet.  He talks about how he was giving orders on who was allowed to board - who was allowed to live - and describes how a young mother desperately tried to give him her baby, only for the guards to shove her aside.  He expresses a desire to let someone else make those types of decisions, for someone else’s conscience to bear the burden he now has.  It’s a dark and painful moment, and extremely realistic that this would indeed all happen.

To talk about my favorite character, Bathsheba, I first honestly have to talk about Serina. Who also is an amazing character.  The reason I have to talk about her first is that I am not sure we ever would have met Bathsheba if Serina had remained.  Serina is a reporter, and young mother, who Apollo meets after the evacuation from the Twelve Colonies.  Apollo grows close to her and her son, Boxey, and the two eventually marry.  With everyone learning new skills as the reality of life on the run in space vs life planetside settles in, Serina trains as a shuttle pilot. When a mysterious illness decapacitates most of the fighter pilots, the shuttle pilots are trained as fighter pilots.  All of this initially causes arguments between Serina and Apollo, though Apollo eventually realizes he’s being an idiot about it.  Serina is eventually killed, however.  Not because of being a fighter pilot, though.  She is killed during a trip planetside when they are unexpectedly attacked by the Cylons.

There were several parts of the story of Battlestar that were altered because of outside influences.  This was one of them, with Serina’s death occurring because the actress decided to leave the series.  I’ve also heard the Cylons weren’t supposed to originally be robots, but since their being robots let them slip the number of on-screen Cylon deaths past the censors of the day, it was changed.

One of the other things that changed has to do with one of Starbuck’s love interests, Cassiopeia. For those who have never watched the series, Cassiopeia was in fact a Sex Worker when she was first introduced.  A career that is endorsed by The Council of Twelve she points out in her first appearance when another passenger is an asshole about it.  But the censors of the time freaked out that the show would allow a character to be a sex worker, so Cassiopeia quickly transitions into a MedTech.  Cassiopeia is actually a really amazing character.  She is strong, but also kind and intuitive.  (For those curious, Starbuck’s other main love interest was Athena, who can be a bit of a snarky asshole but that’s actually part of the reason to love her.  Starbucks is also a huge flirt so he had several temporary love interests as well.)

Sheba appears in the series when it's revealed another Battlestar did in fact survive.  Battlestar Pegasus, lead by Commander Cain - whose brilliance as a tactician and war hero is well known.  Sheba is Cain’s daughter and the head of one of his Viper squadrons.  Cain wants Adama to help him attack a Cylon base, but Adama is more concerned about the refugee fleet and does not want to put it at risk.  Politics and machinations play a big part in the arc with Cain, with Cain ruining Adama’s original plan on purpose to force his hand and make him take the Galactica to battle with him.  Adama turns out to be correct to be concerned, and in the end of the arc Cain sacrifices himself and the Pegasus so the fleet can escape.  Sheba, who ends up separated from the Pegasus because her part of the mission was planetside, joins the Galactica.  It is hinted that perhaps Cain survived, but that is left an open-ended question.  Over the rest of the series, Sheba becomes a main character, and a potential love interest to Apollo.  Honestly, she’s kick-ass and cool, and I adore her.  However, I do wonder if Serina was still around, as Apollo’s wife and a fighter pilot, if we would have ever met Sheba at all.

I’ve honestly gone on such a rave about the female characters and said very little about the main male characters aside from Adama.  (Me, adore Adama?  Well, maybe.  I also adore Colonel Tigh cuz who wouldn’t??)

Honestly, while it’s easy going into the series to see Apollo as the white knight general nice guy, and Starbuck as more the dark horse troublemaker, it honestly doesn’t hold if you watch the series.  Apollo is perfectly capable of being both conniving and even occasionally a jerk, and Starbucks is honestly pretty heroic and noble himself depending on the situation.  Their friendship is a staple of the series, and it wouldn’t be the same without it.

There is also Lieutenant Boomer, another member of their Viper Squadron, who is generally just cool and has some great lines. (How do you not love a character that responds to being told, “You’re too sick to fight - you can barely stand.” with “A Viper is flown from the seated position.”??)

Finally, I can’t not mention Boxey, Serina’s son to who Apollo becomes a father to.  Their connection is actually built before Apollo marries Serina, and continues throughout the series.  Honestly, they have some great father/son moments.  Boxey also has a robot dog Muffit II (generally just referred to as Muffit.  The original Muffit was a real dog who does die in the initial Cylon attack.  :_:  In fact, Muffit II is one of Apollo’s first gifts to Boxey.) YMMV, but I honestly love Boxey and Muffit.  Boxey is the perfect amount of cute and smartass, and well - Muffit is a robot dog.  What is not to love??

This is really, really long.  So I better stop here.  I absolutely recommend the series to anyone who likes to watch old tv series.  It’s an absolute delight.

watching dw live was so fucking notalgic for me?????? god fuck i love that show

I like how Cameron mentions the hyprocrisy in her christian community throughout the book, homosexuality is a sin and a sickness that needs to be preached out of you but not premarital sex that her aunt was doing huh.

The book is simply a nice 470 pages of a constant notalgic feeling that feel all too relateble whether you were born during that time period or not. It handles grief and exploration organically. And it all comes from a place of personal experience. I was less invested in the third act compared to the first two. And the ending albeit a spiritual way for Cameron to cope with her parents death and her trauma, it felt lackluster and rushed.
