by popular request, there u guys go. please feel free and heartily encouraged to link noteworthy mentions of this stupid show in this post, or ping me when u do it so I can cackle privately

also keep in mind I'm terrible at coding, that's literally the most impressive thing I could manage I had no idea what to even put. I tried and therefor no one should judge me

feel free 2 replurk if that's your bag or whatever

or just direct your friends there or what have you

or don't because this inside joke is silly and stupid, but I love it

this is so important

lmfao

I want it to be the Li'l Sebastian of ax

omfg

(also sidenote i think we've been told there are no actual real aliens in space-media in case that's what you meant and not just super awesome cgi)

oh really

i could be wrong about that though, it's one of those things someone told me at some point and i was like really???

cf. all conversations about what food does and doesn't exist

that seems super odd! especially with like the mass effect aliens being in game and such. I should ping a mod over that

horse coma

like a regular coma

but with the strength of a horse

oh my god hurtling myself at this rn

naturally

protects or amaurosis could you answer this silly question please whenever you have the time, aha.

are there aliens in futuristic media shows?

not that it makes a huge difference at all, it's just good to know for posterity, so I can either change it to just all humanoids or cgi bullshit

if it's meant to be a soap set within the native universe then no. they'll all be human. it should also actually be weirdly difficult to relate to, like there'll be major culture clash

like when you watch a soap from another country and don't get any of the jokes or cultural references

very smart very smart

you might also wanna look at the world info page for places names!

there's info there about the general background of the various planets and stuff too so you could use that for where characters are from

"Though it initially appears to be your run of the mill dime store trash television show, it seems to have been filmed much, much later than typical 21st century earth,

made apparent by nearly indecipherable pop culture references that just aren't quite easy to contextually grasp. "

does that sound a little more accurate?

(there's a pretty big class divide between some of the planets, I imagine that would be used for conflict in a soap)

this is so dumb I love it

(though not too much because then it probably wouldn't get 'aired')

yes that sounds good!

thank you very much ahaha

annnd I included a link to the world-info page just for posterity

but the most important part is that someone slaps someone

that's it that's the whole show

banging and slapping

and maybe tiny little clusters of tumors

no problem!

and someone marrying someone else's evil twin

I can't remember what I used for a really bad in-universe soap except I remember there was a class conflict keeping lovers apart.

that's beautiful

and I approve

...space gangs

where is that over the top telenovela clip where the lady like rips a disabled girl from her wheelchair and kills a dude I feel that should be linked

fkalsjdfkjlasljkl I have no idea

I think I reblogged it I'll check when I get home

Soraya Montenegro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia she even has her own wiki

tbh i call dibs on natasha referencing this part somehow
