Oof, the last mouthful was pure blue raspberry syrup. Pray for me. And pray for my pancreas. (The other reason I drink sugarfree soft drink is that regularly consuming the other type is bad if you are prone to blood sugar crashes!)
In short, this is an interesting experience, but not one I'm rushing to repeat, thank you for coming with me on this journey of discovery.
Full-sugar Red Bull has not touched my palate in many years. I am strictly a sugarfree soft drink kind of person because the regular type makes my teeth itch. So this tastes nice, but is not necessarily a pleasant sensory experience.
Second, the flavour is Red Bull, blue raspberry and vanilla, with frozen pieces of dragonfruit. I like all these things separately. Together, they are ... a lot.
First, the drink is way less Murftastic in real life, and that's honestly good because I would feel wrong drinking my little mate.
Definitely no longer on the verge of a low blood sugar incident.
It's, um.
OKAY I'M DOING IT, I'M GONNA TRY THE MURF DRINK
1. brb moving to San Francisco
2. WHERE! IS! STARFLEET ACADEMY'S! LIBRARY!
I will crowdfund Grant's trip
Love this comparison!
It was more nuanced than SNW managed, at least, and I think Anisha and Nahla had a really compelling dialogue about restorative justice, but I just wanted it to be a bit more brave.
Pedro Pascal Or Bust
I was interested that he said the show trial scenes were the ones NOT rewritten. As much as I hate revising (I'm procrastinating right now!) I do feel like they needed a polish, the message was unclear.
I was irrationally mad when Caleb referred to Genesis's father as "Dadmiral". THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE, apparently. (They're gonna need to cast someone with POWERFUL daddy energy for Admiral Lythe.)
You're right, we really need to start hiring actors who are stunted from years of childhood deprivation. Starring Ariana Grande as Caleb Mir.
With a side hustle as Darem's bodyguard. He doesn't actually need a bodyguard, he's just jealous that Miles has one.
The REAL question is, is Bothari going to be Sinister Helicopter Dad on campus, and how long before he is enlisted to teach. (What would he teach? The mind boggles.)
Nahla would be wishing Lanthanites could yearn for death before Spring Break.
In general Bujold fic is not my thing, HOWEVER, I do think the world needs a fusion AU where, instead of the events of "The Warrior's Apprentice", Miles and Elena end up at Starfleet Academy under the increasingly long-suffering tutelage of Lura Thok.
I am probably the one person in the world who would be into a Section 31 ride, that movie had a bad script but the aesthetic was amazing.
I hope that the main plot, whatever it is, wraps up, and then we cut to Nus Braka escaping from prison, or something like that.
Ooh, I didn't expect an actual answer! That's interesting info, but I agree, negotiations are probably on hold and likely abandoned at this point.
My "I do not endorse corporate media consolidation" shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered, etc.
Riding the Trekcoaster wearing a "My presence at this amusement park should not be taken as an endorsement of corporate media consolidation" T-shirt.
Obviously Paramount buying WB is very bad on a multitude of levels, but I just wanna quickly ask:
if it goes through, does that mean we could get a Star Trek ride at Movieworld?
I didn't think the Federation needed to be responsible for Braka Senior's death, but "you have resources so commerce will save you" seems like a weirdly rosy-eyed view of trade. But also I like that Nahla has these blind spots.
People are assuming that my feelings are negative, but I only listen to "Brothers in Arms" when I am feeling EPIC and GLORIOUS and want to ROLL AROUND THE FLOOR AND SCREAM WHILE I MEDITATE ON SERVICE AND SACRIFICE
I am largely very positive, with some nitpicks, but MOSTLY I am having feelings about SACRIFICE and SERVICE and RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
I know I've been focusing on Dale's adventures as he learns to be a housecat, but this morning Colin let me pick him up and cuddle him against my shoulder for fifteen seconds! And he purred! That's, like, Harvey's record!
