Hi! Just Dropped By To Say I Enjoy Seeing Your Spones Comic! It’s Been So Enjoyable To Read :3 Hope

Después de un tiempo, subo un vídeo del mundo de Minecraft:

After some time, I upload a video of the Minecraft world:

Al fin he acabado la sala del transportador, me quedaban unos pocos detalles. A medida que voy construyendo descubro cómo usar el mod, y entonces tardo menos. También he empezado con la sala de motores y el puente, y ya he acabado toda la estructura (es decir, ya tengo un lugar donde hacer todas las salas)

I've finally finished the transporter room, I had a few details left. As I'm building I'm figuring out how to use the mod, and then it takes me less time. I've also started the engine room and the bridge, and I've finished the whole structure (that is to say, I have a place to build all the rooms).

The only thing I can tell is 💕💕

On Leonard McCoy

An old rant I made dedicated to my favorite doctor

You see, I have fallen in love with every single one of the characters in Star Trek, they all have such diverse personalities and fun quirks that makes them so enjoyable to watch, read about, and even just think about.

They have become iconic through generations, and I love every single one of them. And to think of the impact that they have achieved on the world and how society is today, is unbelievable. Truly incredible.

Now, with these said, I love all of them, but right now let me talk about our dear southern ol’ country doctor.

Dr. Leonard Horatio “Bones” McCoy, nicknamed bones (a variation of sawbones, a term used for doctors back in the day) by none other than his life long friend Jim Kirk.

He is wonderful. And he is a character that goes through so much pain. They all do, of course. Who can forget the racism Spock ensued, and the tragedy of seeing a massacre when Jim was still young. But right now, let’s tak about McCoy.

He was a simple man, an emotional and irrational man in comparison to the logical Spock, who he always has philosophical arguments with (which I really enjoy watching), yet one of the smartest men in the Star Trek universe. In comparison to his colleagues, he is a simple man. He grew up on earth, studied to be a surgeon at a regular school, yet still with his incredible wit became the chief medical officer aboard the most famous spaceship in all the federation, the USS Enterprise.

As said, he has his friends and colleagues, yet something we are always able to tell, is the feeling of loneliness that bones always carries around with him. He has an ex-wife, and a daughter that barely speaks to him. Apart from his crew mates, he is utterly alone. And him, being such a warm, kind hearted, caring, and loving individual, doesn’t let show how badly the lack of romantic love in his life affects him. Which it does. So much that in the last episode I watched “for the world is hollow and I have touched the sky” he was about to marry a woman he has just met, just because she was besotted with him and because he was convinced he was going to die of a terminal illness and his whole life had been lived without love. Nothing shows how badly alone a person has felt their whole life, than this. An excerpt taken directly from the episode:

NATIRA: You have lived a lonely life? 
MCCOY: Yes, very lonely.

It is probably because of this loneliness, that he carries himself around with a grumpy exterior. But anyone that knows him, knows that is not how he really is. This man always carries himself with such joy when it comes to his patients and his friends. A truly remarkable trait. Something I personally admire deeply.

Apart form his sadness and grumpiness, what this shows is that Bones is the most human of them all. Jim and Spock, even with Spock not even being a human, assert their humanity a lot, which is wonderful. But out of the three of them, the one that was created to act as a moral compass, and the heart, was bones. He is the most human of them all, and I like to show these with quotes said directly by him.

“"Jim, every doctor and nurse from here to the Rim lives in hope that one day we'll wake up and find that everybody in the Universe is perfectly healthy and in possession of a signed certificate from God saying that they're going to die peacefully in their sleep. Then we can all retire and go fishing”

"You see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him because you'll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories. All of these things you'll never know simply because the word love isn't written into your book."

Apart form this, it has been shown countless times, that he has a strict moral compass which he follows even more than the rules, something a true heart would do

"To blazes with regulations! You can't let him take command when you know he's wrong." - McCoy to Spock on Commodore Decker

He is human, kind, caring, intelligent, and very very fun. He is a joy to watch on screen and the way he interacts with other characters just gives me life.

And yet again, he always feels alone. No love in his life, except for the few people that appreciate him and have the pleasure of calling themselves his friends.

I cannot explain, but he is wonderful, a role model, someone we should all aspire to be. And my feelings towards him are those of deep rooted admiration. He always manages to make me smile.

And so here, I leave one of my favorite inspirational quotes said by him:

"In this galaxy there's a mathamatical probability of three million Earth type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more... only one of each of us."

I have ranted too much. Do forgive me.

Ayer vi el capítulo de Por cualquier otro nombre y me di cuenta de que McCoy agarra de la cintura a Spock 🥰💕

Yesterday I watched the episode of By any other name and noticed that McCoy grabs Spock by his waist 🥰💕

Por cierto, el capítulo es divertido, me hizo reír bastante

By the way, the episode is funny, it made me laugh a lot

Sus dibujos son muy hermosos y me gustan mucho 💝

(Creo que esta es la primera vez que alguien me habla por aquí 😁. Hola!)

(I think this is the first time someone has spoken to me through this 😁. Hello!)

Muchas gracias!! 😊 Es genial ver que a otras personas les gusta lo que hago.

Thank you so much!! 😊 It's great to see that other people like what I do.

Yo intento subir dibujos lo más seguido posible, pero a veces no tengo tiempo con los estudios. Eso sí, no se me olvida nada, y cuando quiero subir algo, lo subo, aunque tarde más de lo esperado.

I try to upload drawings as often as possible, but sometimes I don't have time with my studies. But I don't forget anything, and when I want to upload something, I upload it, even if it takes longer than expected.

PD: Gracias por hablarme 😄

Siento volver a retrasarme en subir las siguientes páginas del cómic 😓. Mi idea, si alguien no se ha dado cuenta, era subir algo cada dos días, e ir turnando el cómic con dibujos random. Y, bueno, hace dos días tocaba el cómic y no lo había acabado aún (en realidad, si me pongo en serio, podría subir cada día el cómic, pero me distraigo con cualquier cosa).

Sorry to be late again in uploading the next pages of the comic 😓. My idea, if anyone hasn't noticed, was to upload something every two days, and rotate the comic with random drawings. And, well, two days ago the comic was due and I hadn't finished it yet (actually, if I'm serious, I could upload the comic every day, but I get distracted by anything).

Pero no he desaprovechado el tiempo, he estado aprendiendo a usar el mod de Minecraft de Custom NPCs, tengo que decir que está muy muy completo, y eso que lo que he visto es muy poco. Quizás suba algún vídeo enseñándolo.

But I haven't wasted my time, I've been learning how to use the Minecraft Custom NPCs mod, I have to say that it's very very complete, and what I've seen is very little. Maybe I'll upload a video showing it.

También he escrito algunas ideas de un fic del que me gustaría subir el primer capítulo antes de que acabe agosto, ya que la temática es de verano. Es de Spones (cómo no, este blog está dedicado a Spones). Lo explicaré en este otro post.

I've also written some ideas for a fic that I'd like to upload the first chapter before the end of August, as the theme is summer. It's about Spones (of course, this blog is dedicated to Spones). I'll explain it in this other post.

Además, he estado practicando cómo dibujar en el ordenador (con una tableta gráfica que han comprado a mi hermana). Como digo, he estado practicando, porque necesito practicar mucho 😆. Se me da fatal, pero hay una mejoría con respecto a las horribles creaciones que hacía hace tiempo en el móvil (nunca llegué a guardarlas). A lo mejor me animo a subir alguna de mis monstruosidades digitales.

Also, I've been practising how to draw on the computer (with a graphic tablet that my sister has been bought). As I say, I've been practicing, because I need to practice a lot 😆. I'm terrible at it, but there's an improvement compared to the horrible creations I used to make some time ago on my mobile (I never saved them). Maybe I'll upload some of my digital monstrosities.

Y he visto algunos videojuegos de miedo. Aquí tengo que aclarar algo. No me gusta el terror. Sin embargo, he descubierto dos juegos con una historia estupendísima. Además, tienen sentido científico. Se llaman Man of Medan y Little Hope. Son uno "continuación" del otro. En realidad la historia no tiene nada que ver, pero siguen una trilogía o algo así. La siguiente continuación se estrena este año. No dan mucho miedo, lo único sustos y tensión. Repito, la historia me ha encantado, sobre todo Little Hope. Mi hermana me recomendó también Until Dawn. Este no me ha convencido. Hablo de este juego en otro post, por si alguien lo ha visto jugar a alguien o lo ha jugado. Lo explico aquí.

And I've seen some horror videogames. Here I have to clarify something. I don't like horror. However, I have discovered two games with a great story. Moreover, they make scientific sense. They are called Man of Medan and Little Hope. They are a "continuation" of each other. Actually the story has nothing to do with each other, but they follow a trilogy or something like that. The next sequel is coming out this year. They're not very scary, just give scares and tension. I repeat, I loved the story, especially Little Hope. My sister also recommended Until Dawn to me. I'm not convinced by this one. I talk about this game in other post, if anyone has seen anyone play it or played it. I explain it here.

Y por supuesto, un videojuego singular, increíble y muy bien hecho todo, la historia, los gráficos, los personajes... que también he visto es Detroit Become Human 🥰

And of course, a singular video game, amazing and very well done everything, the story, the graphics, the characters... that I've also seen is Detroit Become Human 🥰

Yes, information!

THE BIG VULCAN BIOLOGY POST (aka Vulcan is a Hell Planet)

DISCLAIMER: I am not a biologist, astrophysicist, neurologist, animal psychologist or literally anything that would qualify me to talk about this with 100% confidence. This is the result of dozens of headcanons and obsessive deep dive research. I don’t want this post to be three miles long, so after I address the planetary stuff I will oblige y’all with a Read More.

Adsfasdkfjhaslkdfh I’ve been working on this post for almost a month SO HERE WE GO!

First of all, Vulcan (aka T’Khasi) is a HELL PLANET, which is part of the reason they’re so badass, I say this for the following reasons:

No moon(s) (natural satellites)

Sodium (Salt) is so rare on the planet that Vulcan’s oceans are freshwater

It’s a “Super-Earth” (as in big chonkin’ planet of similar composition to earth in the “goldilocks region”)

Let’s do this.

“Vulcan has no moon Ms. Uhura.”

-Spock, The Man Trap

Tons of things change about our planet if there was no moon:

Much darker nights (no moonlight)

Much lower sea levels since there is no gravity from the moon to pull it upward.

Lower and weaker tides because the water is pulled by the sun instead of the moon, and it depends on how large the Vulcan solar system’s sun is for how big the waves are.

Stronger winds from faster planet rotation.

Depending on whether the axis of the planet would straighten or tilt further without the moon’s pull, combined with the faster rotation would lead to more severe seasons (strong tilt) or no seasons at all (no tilt)

The first factor may lead to Vulcan eyes being very catlike even if they aren’t nocturnal (I think they’re crepesucular but we’ll get into that later). Which given the likely nature of their blood and their herbivorous eating habits they probably aren’t. The sky would still be so dark that our human eyes couldn’t even see our hands in front of us, being blind when the sun goes down could be a death sentence. Alternatively, if they didn’t develop strong night vision that may be one of the reasons why they have such strong senses of hearing.

The stronger winds, faster rotation, and stronger (or nonexistent) seasons come from the lack of resistance and friction that stronger tides and the moon’s pull create on our planet. I suspect that Vulcan is larger, or at least denser than Earth, but I’ve been informed that according to the TMP novelization that it does rotate faster. I also think that Vulcan’s tilt is on the more extreme end to get the hostile extremes like storms and heat that we see on Vulcan.

If you look at this image of Vulcan, water covers way less of the planet’s surface than Earth. I don’t think this is necessarily because Vulcan has less water, but that it isn’t spread as far because of the lack of moon, and the fact that the oceans are freshwater, I’ll get into that shortly.

“My ancestors spawned from a different ocean than yours.”

-Spock, The Man Trap

In the Star Trek: The Original Series (third) pilot The Man Trap, there is a creature that kills its victims by draining their bodies completely of salt. Spock encounters the creature but does not die, implying his (and Vulcans overall) body contains little to no salt. His justification is that his species did not evolve from a salinized ocean.

What does it mean to have oceans with no salt?

This has to mean that sodium is a very rare mineral on Vulcan, as the reason our oceans are so salinized is due to erosion of minerals by rainfall, carried from river to ocean. Salt in the ocean is also generated by submarine volcanic activity, which means either that the volcanoes on Vulcan (which we definitely know exist) somehow don’t produce salt, or the vast majority of the submarine volcanoes have been inactive for millions if not billions of years. The active volcanoes on Vulcan must be very far inland and/or Vulcan has almost no rivers, which given how hot the planet is, wouldn’t actually be too much of a stretch of the imagination.

Which means every single lifeform on T’Khasi, including Vulcans, evolved biosystems that exist without (or with very little) salt content. Any salt that exists would likely be deep beneath the planet’s surface, and within volcanoes.

No saltwater has a ton of consequences:

Plants (like underwater algae) are rarer and may not photosynthesize the same way Earth plants do, meaning less oxygen and more carbon dioxide, which means more greenhouse effect, which means higher temperatures.

The lack of salt would also mean less diverse plant life (at least as humans know it) and given the lack of visible rivers and vast swaths of desert on Vulcan, we can safely say vegetation must be hardier and infrequent.

Lower sea levels as the oceans would have lower density due to lack of salt.

Little to no water convection, which salt is crucial for on Earth. Which means warm ocean water doesn’t move to cold regions and vice versa. Creating extremes, the equator being obscenely hot, and polar waters freezing at the poles more extensively.

Lack of convection means more frequent and stronger storms like hurricanes.

If you thought the lack of a moon made Vulcan inhospitable, compound it with the low sodium factor and you’ve got a planet of even more severe extremes than before. The heat, and the decrease of plant diversity definitely explain why the vast majority of Vulcan is rocky desert, even being near the water poses more extreme dangers than it would on earth due to the increased frequency of hurricanes.

“Mr. Spock is much stronger than an ordinary human being.”

-Kirk, This Side of Paradise

I am almost 100% sure that Vulcan is either bigger or denser than Earth. Which would explain why Vulcans are so much stronger than Humans and other species that exist on similar gravity worlds.

Effects of a high-gravity planet or “Super-Earth” include:

Everything is shorter or has very strong foundations, plants, animals, structures, and people.

More “Armageddon” class asteroids would hit the planet (like the one that killed the dinosaurs and created the Gulf of Mexico)

Larger liquid mantle under the planet’s surface, higher pressure under the surface as well.

Weaker magnetic field due to lack of convection in the planet’s core (not to be confused with the mantle interacting with the planet’s crust). Which means a weaker atmosphere, lower magnetism in surface metals, and increased vulnerability to solar flares.

More volcanically and seismically active due the the increase in the mantle’s size and generated heat, more earthquakes, and more volcanic eruptions.

Would have to have a smaller sun but be closer in orbit to it than earth.

Extremely deep oceans, potentially with water under so much pressure at the bottom that it becomes solid like ice. Luckily Vulcan is not an ocean world, because the pressure would block the planet’s core from interacting with the atmosphere, which would prevent life as we know it from happening.

There is plenty of evidence for this on so many levels. We never see any plant life similar to trees on Vulcan. Nor animals significantly larger than Vulcans, the ones that are bigger are much more muscular. Vulcan’s sky is more red than blue because of the lack of oxygen molecules for the light from the sun to filter as blue. I actually headcanon that Spock is unusually tall for a Vulcan because of his human heritage (Leonard Nimoy was around 6ft tall) , and may have had heart and muscle problems in his teens and early adulthood while on Vulcan.

Perhaps Vulcans are the result of many more extinction level events than we are, contributing to their hardiness. Perhaps they are, evolutionarily, not too much older than we are, and had more incentive to develop extraterrestrial technology than we have, so that they could repel Armageddon Class meteors and defend their planet against Solar Flares? Space travel being born out of self-preservation rather than curiosity. Which would absolutely account for their attitudes in the beginning of Star Trek: Enterprise.

It could be that Vulcans still maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle even today because their planet is so incredibly volatile. Unsentimental and utilitarian in anything less than the most sacred of architecture long before they adopted the teachings of Surak. Their own survival more valuable than any structure that would inevitably be damaged or destroyed by their planet’s harsh environment.

In summary, Vulcan is a Nightmare Planet because:

So, so many much natural disasters, like, so many, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, twisters, just, so many more than Earth.

Water is relegated to specific locations in the world rather than spread across it due to lack of flow and lower sea levels.

Extreme temperature changes, intense heat, intense cold, hard to breathe, stronger gravity.

Due to the planet’s hostility, there is a smaller diversity of life than we have here on earth, which means fewer and hardier food sources that, like Vulcans, are very difficult to kill.

So… How do they handle it? What features have they developed to adapt and thrive in such an inhospitable place?

First thing is first, lets talk about

Quick sketch of Sulu. It's the first time I've drawn him 😁

(Si se ven algo extraño por debajo es porque donde estoy dibujando es un papel que ya usé antes. A ver si adivinas qué es. Se adivina mejor si le das la vuelta a la imagen ⤵️)

(If you can see something strange underneath, it's because where I'm drawing is a paper I've used before. See if you can guess what it is. You can guess better if you turn the image upside down ⤵️)
