Después De Un Tiempo, Subo Un Vídeo Del Mundo De Minecraft:

While fooling around on YouTube I discovered these amazing videos. He tells you what the USS Enterprise from TOS looks like with a 3D model (which I understand he made). Any true Star Trek fan has to see it.

It tells you how each deck is organised with all the rooms

I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into making this, he had to research and make the model. Just great

And not only does he have these videos, he has also made other videos explaining other Star Trek ships.

Go and see them

@spatasphere has proposed me to answer this 😊:

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?

Mi regalo de Navidad ha sido una tableta gráfica. Es genial porque ahora podré practicar 😄. Este dibujo es el primero que hice.

My Christmas present was a graphics tablet. It's great because now I can practice 😄. This drawing is the first one I made.

No quiero hacer spoiler, pero he querido dibujar una escena de una de las continuaciones del cómic que estoy dibujando del Mirrorverse 😉. Hablando del cómic, a ver si subo las siguientes páginas, que entre las vacaciones y los exámenes no he tenido mucho tiempo (siempre me pasa lo mismo 😔)...

I don't want to make spoiler, but I wanted to draw a scene from one of the continuations of the comic I'm drawing of the Mirrorverse 😉. Speaking of the comic, let's see if I upload the next pages, because due to holidays and exams I haven't had much time (as always 😔)...

He quedado satisfecha con las rocas. Es la primera vez que intento dibujarlas, y es complicado, pero por algo se empieza.

I am satisfied with the rocks. It's the first time I've tried to draw them, and it's complicated, but that's a start.

Pequeña historia: Spock y McCoy están de vacaciones en una casa (¿solos?)

Short story: Spock and McCoy are on holiday in a house (alone?)

"Spock está leyendo un libro en su padd sentado en el sofá del salón. En plena ola de calor, el ambiente es sofocante, como un día de finales de julio, incluso en aquella casa. Pero al vulcaniano no le importa, al fin y al cabo, él es de un planeta que tiene una temperatura muy superior todos los días del año. De hecho, lleva una camiseta negra de manga larga, y así está cómodo.

'Spock is reading a book on his padd sitting on the couch in the living room. In the heat wave, the atmosphere is sweltering, like a late July day, even in that house. But the Vulcan doesn't mind, after all, he's from a planet that has a much higher temperature every day of the year. In fact, he's wearing a long-sleeved black T-shirt, and he's comfortable like that.

McCoy, por su parte, no aguanta ni un segundo más ese calorazo, necesita refrescarse y una ropa más fresca, o si no, siente que se derretirá allí mismo. Va a darse una ducha fría y se pone una bata bastante holgada. Ahora está de buen humor, y le apetece cantar un poco. Hace un tiempo que no ve a Spock. ¿Dónde está? Él no lo sabe. Seguramente, ese insensato haya salido a la calle, no sé cómo no se churrusca ahí fuera. ¡Son las 4 de la tarde! Se encoge de hombros y sigue cantando feliz. Le conoce tan bien que sabe que no le pasará nada. Entra como una bala al salón"

McCoy, for his part, can't stand the heat any longer, he needs to cool down and get some cooler clothes or else he feels like he'll melt right there and then. He goes to take a cold shower and puts on a rather loose-fitting robe. He's in a good mood now, and feels like singing a bit. He hasn't seen Spock for a while. Where is he? He doesn't know. That fool has probably gone out into the street, I don't know how he doesn't scorch out there. It's four o'clock in the afternoon! He shrugs his shoulders and goes on singing happily. He knows Spock so well that he's sure that nothing will happen to him. He comes like a bullet into the living room'

(Dibujos desde aquí. Pongo un "leer más" para que este post sea más corto)

(Drawings from here. I put a "read more" to make this post shorter)

"A McCoy le ha dado mucha vergüenza entrar así en el salón. No recuerda haber cantado algo delante de Spock, ni tampoco haber llevado puesta solo una bata en su compañía. Se ha salido del salón con la misma velocidad con la que entró y se ha ido corriendo a su habitación, ajustándose bien el cinturón de la bata. No está seguro de si será capaz de sentarse en la mesa con Spock para la cena de aquel día.

'McCoy was very embarrassed to walk into the living room like that. He doesn't remember singing anything in front of Spock, nor does he remember wearing only a robe in Spock's company. He has left the living room with the same speed with which he entered and has hurried to his room, tightening the belt of his robe securely. He's not sure if he'll be able to sit at the table with Spock for dinner that day.

El vulcaniano se ha quedado sentado en el sofá, sin poder mover sus brazos. El padd le está tapando toda la cara. No hay nadie más allí, pero le da tanta vergüenza que se siente mejor ocultándose. Por primera vez en aquellas vacaciones sufría calor, pero no es un calor sofocante, es un calor agradable, que nota dentro de su cuerpo y no solo en su piel. Al ver al doctor con esa bata había sentido un escalofrío, y una parte de él desea volver a experimentarlo. Se ha sorprendido a sí mismo al pensar eso, pero no puede engañarse. Un tiempo después, decide ir a hablar con él"

The Vulcan is sitting on the couch, unable to move his arms. The padd is covering his whole face. There's no one else there, but he's so ashamed that he feels better hiding. For the first time on that holiday he feels hot, but it's not a suffocating heat, it's a pleasant heat, which he feels inside his body and not just on his skin. Seeing the doctor in that robe had sent a shiver down his spine, and part of him wanted to experience it again. He has surprised himself by thinking that, but he can't fool himself. Some time later, he decides to go and talk to him'

Hace mucho tiempo que no subo ningún dibujo y yo creo que ya era hora de uno nuevo.

It's been a long time since I've uploaded a drawing and I think it's about time for a new one.

He estado tomándome un descanso después de la época de exámenes, pero ahora intentaré hacer dibujos con una cierta frecuencia (no prometo nada 😆).

I've been taking a break after the exam period, but now I'll try to make drawings with a certain frequency (no promises 😆).

Siento esa suciedad en el dibujo... Se me complicó un poco y no se me da bien dibujar en electrónico. Ojalá supiera... 😢

I'm sorry for the dirt in the drawing.... It got a bit complicated and I'm not good at drawing in electronic. I wish I knew how... 😢

Ya subo las primeras cuatro páginas del cómic (en realidad la primera página es la portada). No pasa gran cosa, y me gustaría dibujar más rápido, pero hago lo que puedo 😬

I've uploaded the first four pages of the comic (actually the first page is the cover). Almost nothing happens, and I'd like to draw faster, but I do what I can 😬

Me gusta hacer escenas largas, con espacios intermedios entre diálogos, porque así la historia no queda tan acelerada y forzada. He aquí el principio:

I like to do long scenes, with spaces in between dialogues, because this way the story is not so rushed and forced. Here is the beginning:

-> Next page

He puesto un link a la siguiente publicación, que son las siguientes cuatro páginas, para que se pueda leer de continuo.

I've put a link to the next publication, which is the next four pages, so that you can read the whole.

Sé que solo con estas páginas no cuenta mucho, pero una vez que la historia transcurra será otra cosa, espero 😅

I know it doesn't say a lot with just these pages, but once the story unfolds it'll be something else, I hope 😅

Y repito por si alguien no se ha enterado: si alguien quiere la versión en español, que me lo diga y lo subo

And I repeat in case someone isn't aware of it: if anyone wants the Spanish version, let me know and I'll upload it
