Sci-Fi High School

Sci-Fi High School

I got this idea and I just need to put in into words so let me be for like 2 minutes

 So theres these kids you see, and they go to a hign school, cause their teenagers or whatever

But the school has this secret space program that some student body vice presidednt three years back decided was a good idea and it just sort of stuck.

Now these kids acidently end up joining on a space mission not knowing that that was what they had stumbled into. And when they get back to earth and all three of them are freaking out cause they had just gone into space and it wasn’t through nasa or Space X but than this one kid in their group was jwsut like “give them free pizza and they won’t say a word” 

So the current VP (it’s become a tradition that the vice president runs the thing with no one else finding out besides those entrusted with the knowledge and now these idiots) takes them to his families pizza joint and they talk it out over food and eventually they all just decide to go with it and now are a part of this (definitely-illegal) space operation but they get to go up into space once a week and that’s pretty cool

and I’m sure they run into an alien at some point or whatever

👓 as a superhero/supervillain! 

@striyo​ do realize what you’ve done wHAT YOU’VE STARTED

Hamlet superhero AU

(which I honestly didn’t expect to make, thank you for this prompt!)

Hamlet is reluctant to continue his father’s legacy. He hesitates to use the psionic powers he inherited, but he eventually embraces them for the sake of avenging his dad. He goes all out when he kills Claudius.

He reads the minds of his mother and uncle during the first court scene, recoils, and goes “LET ME NOT THINK ON’T.”

(idk what powers to give Claudius and Gertrude yet though)

Horatio and co. stumble upon Hamlet Sr.’s secret base of operations, and only Hamlet Jr. can access his dad’s data/video log.

After seeing his father’s “ghost”, he begins reading people’s minds without hesitation, mostly out of paranoia.

Reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s minds, he tells Horatio, “How can a human mind have that much space?”

Gertrude is oblivious to Claudius’ alter ego. “A murderer and a supervillain!”

Laertes has enhanced strength (+ fire-related powers?), and holds up Hamlet in the graveyard scene with only one hand.

PSIONIC. SWORDS.

Hamlet struggles to create a sword at the beginning + killing Claudius, but in Act 5: “I have been…” /materializes a sword in seconds “…in continual practice.“

Ooooh this was a fun study; had to brush up on my arm anatomy to make sure I could get Kaz posed to *NOT TOUCH* Inej in the most intense game of Operation ever.

So, you want a look at human history?

First thing you gotta do is understand the mentality. They evolved as predators. Yeah, I know, they ain’t got any natural weapons to speak of… Kinda. You ever see what a desperate human will do to another in a bar fight with just their teeth? Nasty shit, man. Nasty, nasty shit. 

Omnivores? Yeah, but you look at the average human’s diet, especially early on in their history. Meat was a crucial part in their diet. They love the shit. 

So, as predators, they really only had two options. Tool use… And endurance. They evolved to literally run faster, meaner creatures into the ground. They could kill by running another organism to exhaustion.

Pretty cool, but every predatory race has their strategies: the Vorl swarm their prey, the Singers mimic sounds of children in distress, so on and so forth. But you gotta understand what this means for human psychology; they can play the long game. They’re in it for the long haul.

At some point, they gave up the nomadic lifestyle and settled down. The genes for that nomadic badassery never went away, though. The worst of them did drugs or extreme sports. Most of them just really didn’t give a fuck. Nearly wiped themselves out a couple times. 

No respect for the horrors of war, either. Their greatest stories all revolve around some kind of combat.

So they fiddlefuck their way into space, and as soon as it’s technologically feasible, the portion of the population with the nomadic genes, or those who’d been infected with the nomadic memecomplex, took off in their little ships, mining asteroids and whatnot. 

They left their star system. Colonized a few systems, got into a war. Their home planet got glassed in no time flat… But here’s the thing. Humans? They hate centralized command. They’ve never really been totally united. 

So the home planet’s gone. The nomads don’t give a fuck. They just keep bebopping their happy go lucky asses all over the cosmos. 

So these dudes just roam all around the big empty, happy as clams. Some reclaim the sedentary lifestyle, the empire building sort, but most don’t. They’ve seen empires fall over and over again, but nomadic groups have survived the worst empires can throw at them. That’s the biggest lesson of their history. Empires fall. Nomads don’t.

Not to say they don’t have a culture, this galaxy spanning diaspora. They do. They have quantum entangled comms, a net of sorts, so they can communicate new discoveries to each other… 

They’re quiet, ubiquitous, rough little beings. They squabble, trade, and fight all over the galaxy. They’ve been scattered since before the rise of not only this Hegemony, but the rise of the Dominion before that. They’ll be here when our successor power on the galactic stage takes over. And they’re dangerous. Go after one group somewhere, and pretty soon you’re looking at raids everywhere you have a stake. Death by a thousand cuts.

But normally? They’re nothing to look twice at. They’re the cockroaches in the walls of a house, and they’ll be the last species standing in this crapsack universe.

I’m just so proud of this I had to share it here! Look at my art insta to see all my art

Just don't turn around”

Look how happy he is!
