  • Yes, and it was shown as a huge internal conflict in TNG, and honestly even TOS had a bunch of inconsistent morality that didn’t quite fit a utopian society, you have a lot of state secrets, a lot of espionage, paranoia, and a cold war that includes violating the prime directive on a regular basis as long as they think the Klingons will also violate around the same degree, and that’s really not a very good idea, I really doubt the Vulcans would arm a bronze age civilization on a developing planet with muskets if they thought the Klingons might also do That.









  • Yeah… When I found out trans was a thing probably in the late 90s, I found it terrifying because I know I might want to do that. Like touching a hot stove. But I don’t know, I’ve heard a few people who transitioned late in life were happy with their results and were fully aware they weren’t meeting some cultural standard of their appearance and were content with it. I can no longer imagine myself doing any kind of gender affirming stuff. This is the most I’ve ever communicated about this my entire life. Anyway. If it’s about you all that matters is what you want out of it.




  • For people interested in drawing more gooder, if you haven’t spend more than one sitting on a drawing, your giving up WAY too early. Try 8hrs, yes, you will eventually be sitting they’re looking at this drawing going… ? What do I even do now? BUT that’s the next step. Layers. Layers layers layers. Or passes as they used to say before computers. You need to look at the whole work and think ‘‘are the lines good?’’ And fix them. This should involve erasing and transfer methods like carbon paper (witch you can make yourself with any paper and pencils rubbed out on the bottom of one paper, then you trace the lines for a clean transfer) anyway. Fix the lines, perfect the lines, check your points and proportions, again, fix, re do, re make, then tone, then color, then texture, then lighting, it sounds like a lot, but this is the simplified version. There’s paintings that took the artist half a lifetime until they were OK with it being done. It takes a lot, when you get it all nailed down you’ll see other people’s work and go ‘‘oh this is actually great, they just haven’t learned about [art principal] yet.’’
