I would say you are not left leaning. Liberal maybe sure, but being gross about media is a no no

I'm not sure what your definition of 'Left' is, but it's pretty comical to imply that a laissez faire attitude to Problematic Media totally *disqualifies* you from being even left *leaning*.

Like, 'Left Leaning' is a pretty soft claim! It just means 'at least slightly more left than the average of the population'. If you were using the term 'leftist', then, well, the definitions a lot of people use for that term implies, like, being properly on board with communism or whatever as opposed to being at least a bit sceptical of it which is a much stronger claim.

Though, like, either way, I'm not -too- attached to any labels, and 'liberal' has a lot of good stuff to it; I -am- a fan of Individual Rights, Secularism, Freedom of Speech, Democracy and all that. If your definition of 'left leaning' is 'has the correct opinions on Stefan's Galaxy' then sure I'm not left-leaning, because by your definition, being 'left-leaning' is fucking stupid.

Otherwise, it seems like a very large proportion of progressives on Twitter/Tumblr assign a few orders of magnitude more moral weight on Media Consumption/Production than is warranted. It feels like talking about media is just a lot more *fun* than talking about boring issues that actually effect people like, idk, the economy or whatever, since cartoons and movies are specifically designed on purpose to be as exciting and interesting to talk about as possible. Talking about media is an extension of the entertainment - another part of the hobby.

That and, like, a lot of internet lefties don't seem to really have any grounding to their beliefs beyond following along with what their peers are saying and finding ways to feel righteously angry and express the copious amounts of Disgust they feel constantly bubbling up their throat for the majority of everyone they meet. Like, listen to yourself. "Gross". "You can't be a leftist if you're *icky* about media." "That movie is stinky, pe-ew! Yucky!"

Like, you have to understand how childish you sound, right? Don't just say that it somehow, ephemerally smells bad, tell me exactly what's wrong with it - exactly what is Morally Wrong - where the Measurable Harm is being produced, and demonstrate how that measurable harm outweighs the individual's right to just do what it is that they want to do and what brings them happiness, which -is- a meaningful bar to clear!

Because otherwise, why would someone care that some teenager on the internet says they don't like them. They aren't some kind of moral authority - they haven't built up trust in their judgement, and they typically don't have the power to enforce any meaningful punishments for disobeying. And they absolutely do not care to try and persuade someone who doesn't already agree with me - indeed, they seem to be utterly unable to imagine how the mind of someone who doesn't already agree with their opinions would function beyond just simply Being Evil. Why would they ever expect someone who doesn't already like them to care?

All in all, these was a really, really funny ask to recieve.

VISIONS OF THE FUTURE

Background: A creative team of visual strategists at JPL, known as "The Studio," created the poster series, which is titled "Visions of the Future." Nine artists, designers, and illustrators were involved in designing the 14 posters, which are the result of many brainstorming sessions with JPL scientists, engineers, and expert communicators. Each poster went through a number of concepts and revisions, and each was made better with feedback from the JPL experts.

David Delgado, creative strategy: The posters began as a series about exoplanets -- planets orbiting other stars -- to celebrate NASA's study of them. (The NASA program that focuses on finding and studying exoplanets is managed by JPL.) Later, the director of JPL was on vacation at the Grand Canyon with his wife, and they saw a similarly styled poster that reminded them of the exoplanet posters. They suggested it might be wonderful to give a similar treatment to the amazing destinations in our solar system that JPL is currently exploring as part of NASA. And they were right! The point was to share a sense of things on the edge of possibility that are closely tied to the work our people are doing today. The JPL director has called our people "architects of the future." As for the style, we gravitated to the style of the old posters the WPA created for the national parks. There's a nostalgia for that era that just feels good.

Joby Harris, illustrator: The old WPA posters did a really great job delivering a feeling about a far-off destination. They were created at a time when color photography was not very advanced, in order to capture the beauty of the national parks from a human perspective. These posters show places in our solar system (and beyond) that likewise haven't been photographed on a human scale yet -- or in the case of the exoplanets might never be, at least not for a long time. It seemed a perfect way to help people imagine these strange, new worlds.

Delgado: The WPA poster style is beloved, and other artists have embraced it before us. Our unique take was to take one specific thing about the place and focus on the science of it. We chose exoplanets that had really interesting, strange qualities, and everything about the poster was designed to amplify the concept. The same model guided us for the posters that focus on destinations in the solar system.

Lois Kim, typography: We worked hard to get the typography right, since that was a very distinctive element in creating the character of those old posters. We wanted to create a retro-future feel, so we didn't adhere exactly to the period styles, but they definitely informed the design. The Venus poster has a very curvy, flowy font, for example, to evoke a sense of the clouds.

Creative Strategy: Dan Goods, David Delgado

Illustrators: Liz Barrios De La Torre (Ceres, Europa); Stefan Bucher (Jupiter Design); Invisible Creature (Grand Tour, Mars, Enceladus) ;Joby Harris (Kepler 16b, Earth, Kepler 186f, PSO J318.5-22, Titan); Jessie Kawata (Venus); Lois Kim (Typography for Venus and Europa); Ron Miller (Jupiter Illustration)

:read more:

1. NASA's Voyager mission took advantage of a once-every-175-year alignment of the outer planets for a grand tour of the solar system. The twin spacecraft revealed details about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – using each planet's gravity to send them on to the next destination. Voyager set the stage for such ambitious orbiter missions as Galileo to Jupiter and Cassini to Saturn. Today both Voyager spacecraft continue to return valuable science from the far reaches of our solar system.

Delgado: The Grand Tour is the route the Voyager 2 spacecraft took to visit all four outer planets. We imagined this would be something people might want to repeat, since it's a flight plan that's possible every 175 years or so, when the outer planets are arranged just right. In the future, it might be considered "quaint" to experience a gravity assist. Harris: Style-wise, the design came from some references we looked at from transparency overlays from the 1960s. It initially had a black background, but we inverted it and the design just clicked.

2. NASA's Mars Exploration Program seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be a habitable world. Missions like Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Science Laboratory and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, among many others, have provided important information in understanding of the habitability of Mars. This poster imagines a future day when we have achieved our vision of human exploration of Mars and takes a nostalgic look back at the great imagined milestones of Mars exploration that will someday be celebrated as “historic sites.”

Delgado: This was the very last poster we produced for the series. We wanted to imagine a future time where humans are on Mars, and their history would revere the robotic pioneers that came first. There are a few fun things to point out here. You can see the silhouette of Olympus Mons in the background, there's a hint of underground water, and the rover's wheel is spelling out JPL on the ground in Morse code, just like the Curiosity rover does (for what the rover drivers call "visual odometry.")

3. There's no place like home. Warm, wet and with an atmosphere that's just right, Earth is the only place we know of with life – and lots of it. JPL's Earth science missions monitor our home planet and how it's changing so it can continue to provide a safe haven as we reach deeper into the cosmos.

4. The rare science opportunity of planetary transits has long inspired bold voyages to exotic vantage points – journeys such as James Cook's trek to the South Pacific to watch Venus and Mercury cross the face of the Sun in 1769. Spacecraft now allow us the luxury to study these cosmic crossings at times of our choosing from unique locales across our solar system.

Harris: We tried a few different designs for Venus, starting with the surface, but the intent was to show things people might find pleasant, and Venus' surface is anything but. Kim: The scene is of a city in the clouds during a transit of Mercury across the sun. The Morse code for the number 9 is written on the side (signifying the inhabitants are "on cloud 9").

5. The discovery of Enceladus' icy jets and their role in creating Saturn's E-ring is one of the top findings of the Cassini mission to Saturn. Further Cassini mission discoveries revealed strong evidence of a global ocean and the first signs of potential hydrothermal activity beyond Earth – making this tiny Saturnian moon one of the leading locations in the search for possible life beyond Earth.

Delgado: Saturn's moon Enceladus is all about the plumes erupting from its south pole. At our first brainstorming session, someone called the plumes "Cold Faithful," and that helped crystallize this idea quite quickly. There's no right way up in space, so for fun, we turned the surface upside down from the point of view of the visitors in the picture.

6. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, complements NASA’s other astrophysics missions studying the universe in various spectra by observing the cosmos in high energy X-rays. The observatory’s unique design includes a lightweight mast, which deployed to its full length of 10 meters (33 feet) after the observatory reached Earth orbit following its launch on June 13, 2012. Typically, researchers point one of NuSTAR’s bulky ends – which contains the optics, or the hardware that collects X-rays – at the object they want to study. The light travels along the boom to the detectors, located at the other end of the spacecraft. The distance between the two is necessary to focus the light. As the first space telescope capable of taking focused high energy X-ray observations, NuSTAR has provided an unprecedented view of high energy objects, such as remnants of supernova explosions, like black holes and neutron stars, as well as the monster black holes that live in the centers of galaxies. After a decade of operation, NuSTAR continues to open new horizons, discover fascinating objects, and expand our knowledge of the Universe.

7. The Jovian cloudscape boasts the most spectacular light show in the solar system, with northern and southern lights to dazzle even the most jaded space traveler. Jupiter's auroras are hundreds of times more powerful than Earth's, and they form a glowing ring around each pole that's bigger than our home planet. Revolving outside this auroral oval are the glowing, electric “footprints” of Jupiter's three largest moons. NASA's Juno mission will observe Jupiter's auroras from above the polar regions, studying them in a way never before possible.

Delgado: The basis for this poster was a Jupiter cloudscape by artist Ron Miller, who was very gracious in allowing us to modify his painting. In talking with a lead scientist on NASA's Juno mission (which is getting to Jupiter in July), we locked onto his description of the brilliant auroras Jupiter has. It would truly be a sight to see.

8. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is a true technological marvel. The largest and most complex space telescope ever built, Webb is able to gather light that has been traveling for 13.5 billion years, almost since the beginning of the universe. In effect, Webb is a time machine, allowing us to peer at the first galaxies to form after the Big Bang. Because it gathers infrared light, sees right through the giant clouds of dust that block the view of most other telescopes. Webb is 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope. Most notably, with its 21-foot-wide (6.5-meter-wide) set of segmented mirrors, Webb is powerful enough to search for water vapor in the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars. It will open a new window on these exoplanets, observing them in wavelengths of light at which they have never been seen before and helping us gain new insights about their nature. Webb will help us understand how galaxies evolve over billions of years into grand spirals, like our own Milky Way, search for signs of habitability on distant planets, and penetrate into the hearts of dust-shrouded stellar nurseries. The observatory launched from South America on Christmas Day 2021.

9. The Voyagers Rock On

Thanks to the twin Voyager spacecraft, music is truly universal: Each carries a Golden Record with sights, sounds and songs from Earth as it sails on through the yaget Milky Way. Recalling the classic rock era of the late 1970s when the Voyagers launched this poster is an homage to the mission's greatest hits. Some of the most extraordinary discoveries of the probes' first 40 years include the volcanoes on Jupiter's moon lo, the hazy nitrogen atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan and the cold geysers on Neptune's moon Triton. Voyager 1 is also the first spacecraft to deliver a portrait of our planets from beyond Neptune, depicting Earth as a 'pale blue dot,' and, as of Aug. 25, 2012, to enter interstellar space. Voyager 2 is expected to enter interstellar space in the coming years. Even after 40 years, the Voyagers' hits just keep on coming.

10. The Voyagers: Reaching for the Stars

The twin Voyager spacecraft, which launched in 1977, are our ambassadors to the rest of the Milky Way, destined to continue orbiting the center of our galaxy for billions of years after they stop communicating with Earth. On Aug. 25, 2012, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, and Voyager 2 is expected to cross over in the next few years. At age 40, the Voyagers are the farthest and longest-operating spacecraft and still have plenty more to discover. This poster captures the spirit of exploration, the vastness of space and the wonder that has fueled this ambitious journey to the outer planets and beyond.

Ghosts

If you're a pacman without a power pellet,

it's time to run away,

but if you're the spirit of Patrick Swazee,

you can go ahead and touch that clay.

We were texting a lot,

but then it was unexpectedly done,

and a pepper of this type

will definately haunt your tongue.

Who're you gonna call if you can't do it yourself?

well, a ghost-writer might be the one who could help.

Some sharks below the surface are deep ocean gheists,

and above are empty ships or towns with none left alive.

And if it's you it might be fun to apparate for a friend,

because every appearance is a surprise when you're dead.

A story for the children to prickle their hair,

or an old, faint galaxy that might not even seem to be there.

If you appear a bit white-ish and/or a bit see-through,

it's ilkely you'll be described in terms of the things that say 'boo'.

- Stefan Chin

... brotherband but make it sci-fi?

Sci-fi Brotherband would make a dope moodboard @brotherbandchronicles just saying...

- Hal's spaceship The Heron (named after an ancient bird) is small, slightly beat up, and is packing an absolutely unregulated, one of kind, blast cannon that packs a mean kickback to the wielder but absolutely destroys shields and hulls

- Skandians are notorious space raiders, raiding any ship that comes into their atmosphere and going to other moons and planets to raid them. Skandian ships are known for their graceful curves that mimic wood and for their frightening mastheads that represent fearsome beasts from the ice planet of Skandia

- on the bright side, in the vast expanse of the galaxy, it's frighteningly easy to drift away and escape authority. All one needs is a hood, a large crowd, and a malfunctioning chip scanner. Or an alien ability. The Heron crew doesn't care either way.

- out in space, the Herons find that drifting through endless stars is actually quite relaxing. Luminescent jellyfish the size of a human float by the ship and radiation storms, when heard from afar, provide lovely melodies. Ingvar's never seen the mythical tide whale of Hallasholm-2 in the sky, but he's always watching.

- Lydia was picked up from the space station, Limmat, orbiting around the planet Skandia after the Herons help stop it from burning down at the hands of space pirates. Lydia stole the emeralds from the station and the codes to several off-station emerald mines. A girl has to make her way in the intergalactic world somehow and selling meat to visitors at her grandfather's stall wasn't cutting it.

- There isn't always fresh food around, but Edvin works magic with the food replicator. No one can make flavorless paste taste as good as Edvin. He carries a significant spice collection with him, including some of the hottest spices known in the galaxy.

- Hal is one of the best interspace navigators since Erak's time and his quick calculations and willingness to take a risk in hyperspace has saved the ship multiple times

- Stefan sings haunting space shanties that he learned while visiting his mother's home moon.

- Hal's mother is from the planet Araluen and was abducted by raiders. She now runs a planetside hostel and supply store while refusing to ever go on a ship again. She would've made a crack engineer.

- Since navigation takes up most of Hal's attention, the main upkeep and engineering falls to Wulf and Ulf. They aren't good at designing ships, but give them directions to follow repairs and there's no one better.

- Stig has a laser battle axe. Jesper has a pistol that disassembles into just about anything. Lydia has a long range sniper rifle. Ulf and Wulf have large blasters. Stefan may have psychic abilities, it's unconfirmed.

- In the bright darkness, amidst the twinkling green and red lights of ships passing through the station, silver metal glinting all around them, the Herons pass battered tins of coffee around while dangling their feet from the station balcony. Silence wraps around them and there's no place the crew would rather be than together in space.

what ISN'T up with stefan galaxy i feel like everyone used to LOVE stefan galaxy and now everyone's supposed to hate it. i know about the "popular thing bad now" cycle but with stefan galaxy it feels so drawn out. ok for a while everyone loved it, and then it was The Most Toxic Fandom ever, then stefan galaxy ended and the movie came out and it was cool again, then stefan galaxy future came out and people were kinda happy, and then stefan galaxy became a topic of critical (but usually pretty stupid. sorry) video essays. then the pacifism memes started and the "stefan galaxy gay" meme (which is just repackaged "i hate young queer people"). it feels like a handful of people had criticisms about it, the criticism got super popular, people accepted these as fact without questioning it or thinking twice about it, parroted them to death, and now stefan galaxy is something people make fun of sometimes. like it is definitely the "popular thing bad now" cycle but it took us a long time to get here and it went through various phases and popular attitudes toward its popularity/infamy

#i hope it's more obvious what show i'm talking about now. i have more specific thoughts too i've been dying to talk about how people #talk about future #i have a LONG post in the drafts about the movie

INTRODUCTION

"As the world nearly came to an end, and a breath of fire blew over the town that once seemed so normal, so timid in its ignorance, she was reborn from the ashes and smoke that it left behind. Flames amiss, orange no longer a favored color, a blanket of grey was what she first saw when the world had decided to righten itself again. And then came the blue… Hail the blue!"

.:.:.:.:.:.:.

There is a point (a moment) in time where everything can change… where the balance of nature shifts, and normality undertakes a new definition. The world will roll from its underbelly, and bare its blazing white middle to the galaxy above, familiarity becoming a stranger and darkness being brought to light.

Elena thought, as she took that first step onto the mossy clearing, that everything, in fact, had changed. That the world she had once been so intimate with had become a stranger.

The trees had a new shape, the earth had a new smell, the smiles of her friends were different… were unexplainably dark in their joy. There were absences, there were uninvited guests, there were eyes she had never seen before and ones she had missed dreadfully.

Though most of all, the one thing that had perhaps hindered her more than anything—that had caused time to freeze and her breaths to falter—was him.

Was Damon.

Was the unexpected warmth in his hands as they gripped the back of her neck and lower back—forcing her into him with such desperation. They were hot with humanity, his cheeks lightly stubbled, his hair shaggier at the back and eyes watery with want. He smelt like sweat, and soap, and sadness… and he tasted like every day she had spent away from him. A pining pain that would never be satisfied.

Their lips moulded into one, and she clutched his newly human self to her with the fear that he'd disappear… just as he had on that highway when they said their last goodbye. After the kiss, the drop, the promise that he would live his life to the fullest, she had hugged him close and then like a flame being puffed out, he had vanished from her grasp, leaving her alone on that lonely road, standing in a dress moments before he had so selfishly wanted to remove.

The reminder, in the mix of fear, had brought a flush of red to her chest and cheeks, and she mewled into his open, hot mouth. His tongue was preparing itself to invade, and then the reminder that they weren't alone surged forward, and he brought himself back. Still holding her, still looking at her. Marvelling at the beauty that would for the next sixty years, be his.

They had forever, and even a little after that, Damon had to remind himself.

Elena lifted her hand and caressed his face, watching the way her thumb dipped onto his upper lip, and over his chin. Later, her touch said. Now, her eyes plead.

Caroline cleared her throat, and unfastened from her pocket a small snow globe, Mystic Falls' heart in the centre, surrounded by artificial snow and glitter. It sat on the breast of a broken tree trunk, and Damon broke away to follow. Still holding Elena's hand, he placed his ring beside a gift from Bonnie, and one from Alaric. The blue glimmered beneath the sunlight, and Damon's hand looked bear without it…

Elena, too, slipped something personal around the candles, around the shrine that wished Stefan peace where he was… the vervain necklace still looked as beautiful the day he had given it to her. It sat blindingly against the leaves, against the trees and world that had changed so much during her slumber. And together, they joined arm in arm, and stepped toward their future.
