kintsugi IN SPACE

@wes scripserat I am crying I love everything

 

:D

both of you, THANK YOU i am glad you like.

 

@wixbloom , @wes scripserat said you might be a rose being and i mainly associate roses with tamaki from ouran so i was wondering

Spoiler: is this you?

based off your icon >;)

 

would you say space kintsugi would be more like babylon 5 or firefly? or a wonderful mix of both?

 

I am obviously an octopus mermaid. Who levitates because fuck that, and also refuses to touch much of anything because TASTES. EVERYTHING. I TOUCH. Trademark gloves to touch basically anything that isn't food.

I am also the resident crafts teacher for basically every craft that isn't fibercraft (IE knitting felting sewing). Because this is our ideal space I completely have a glass studio. Fight me.

 

I don't know Babylon 5 (and you call yourself a sci-fi fan? for shame, SS), but we seem a little more utopian than Firefly's space western Used Future.
From what I've seen, we're looking a lot like the Culture's general attitude with HHGttG's humourous soft-sf tone. Which is awesome.

@wes scripserat Tell me what I would do In Space!!

 

that's a really good description. :D

 

That sounds like a wonderful setting. Big fan of Banks' Culture.

 

This is excellent.

I want to be a mechanic. And fix hydroponics systems. And fuck around with gravity systems. And spend a truly ridiculous time online.

(The idea of floating around in some auxiliary space structure messing with a tablet while trying to fix a pipe is deeply appealing to me)

 

...Can I have ram horns, at the very least? ;u;

 

Four arms & eyes, and probably some kind of computer/information/library science undergraduate/intern person who knows a bit about many things but nothing real good.

 

Addition to my previous:
holographic glasses that connect to the internet
(because like come on, you're working, fixing a fairly standard pipe weakness in Section 3.X-y, and then the whole place shudders, everything goes dark, and now you're floating. Could you help fix it? Probably! If you had glasses! But yours have fallen off. Well, no longer, with HoloLensTM! One easy (mostly non-invasive) implant, and your eyesight will be corrected forever! Plus, with our technology, HoloLensTM will automatically adjust for any prescription changes!)

#ok i got a little infomercial on that shit #but like come on this is the dream #Watching tony stark's interactive holographic display in Iron Man changed me as a person and also as a fictional engineer/mechanic

 

I would like to request access to space utopia!
I would also request to be perma blessed with pointy ears so faery I guess?
And idk what I'm useful at but I guess I'm kinda good at makeup and hair stuff?
And clothes.
You know what, put me down with the geek squad that helps out the Defense People by constantly redesigning superhero outfits a la Edna Mode. That's definitly my calling.

NO CAPES

 

I know less about babylon 5 but yes firefly. Adventures and such.

 

Okay this is where the fact that I remember people by their icons and not their names is apparent.
a lizard being?

 

YESH.

TO all of you this is so awesome.

Okay some brief setting stuff. It's vaguely utopic but it's also the internet in galaxy form.

@jacktrash the Great Wall of Nope is like one of the first defenses you all put up around the colony.

Important question are we on the entire planet or only part of it?

 

i enjoy the idea of having some vast uncharted wilderness, personally. (called 4chan, *snrk*)
But, I mean, it's also cool to think that we all have as much space as we could need.

 

Ahhh yess c:
I am basically my icon. In space. Amazonian space elf who is an excellent shot with ranged weapons :D I like the idea that I'd patrol the Great Wall of Nope, shooting compassion arrows at prospective intruders.

 

This works quite well actually.
