The Roasted Planet

Can you hear this exoplanet screaming? As the exoplanet known as HD 80606 b approaches its star from an extreme, elliptical orbit, it suffers star-grazing torture that causes howling, supersonic winds and shockwave storms across this world beyond our solar system. Its torturous journey boils its atmosphere to a hellish 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit every 111 days, roasting both its light and dark sides. HD 80606b will never escape this scorching nightmare. Download this free poster in English and Spanish and check out the full Galaxy of Horrors.

hey guys. Ya think there are memes that go around the Enterprise? Like how many fuckin memes are there about the sexual tension between Jim and Spock. Are there ensigns that photoshop their faces into meme templates and share them with their friends until Jim catches someone? Does he think it’s hilarious until he gets to the ones about boning Spock (because shit that’s supposed to be a secret wtf)
Enterprise memes?

I know that we all suffer at THAT scene, and whole divided by glass is also heartbreaking, BUT... do you really wish to see the same scene but without the glass and one dying in arms of another?

I know it s not really THE subject but as we are talking about this famous wall of glass, it was used as an exemple by Henry Jenkins to explain shipping/slash culture to non-shippers in a pretty neat analysis of fandom & gay ships origins and social impacts. (x)

When I try to explain slash to non-fans, I often reference that moment in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan where Spock is dying and Kirk stands there, a wall of glass separating the two longtime buddies.

Both of them are reaching out towards each other, their hands pressed hard against the glass, trying to establish physical contact. They both have so much they want to say and so little time to say it. Spock calls Kirk his friend, the fullest expression of their feelings anywhere in the series. Almost everyone who watches the scene feels the passion the two men share, the hunger for something more than what they are allowed. And, I tell my nonfan listeners, slash is what happens when you take away the glass. The glass, for me, is often more social than physical; the glass represents those aspects of traditional masculinity which prevent emotional expressiveness or physical intimacy between men, which block the possibility of true male friendship. Slash is what happens when you take away those barriers and imagine what a new kind of male friendship might look like. One of the most exciting things about slash is that it teaches us how to recognize the signs of emotional caring beneath all the masks by which traditional male culture seeks to repress or hide those feelings."

So basically the whole idea of taking away the glass is my subconscious urge to take away all that stupid "social norms"?
