my friend’s very young daughter is apparently a huge nerd and asked for a “Spock-themed birthday party”

She’s 3 going to be 4 and she demands a Spock themed party that only @souryellows is invited to.

The other day she got up in another kids face and chanted “we watch Star trek everyday because I love Spock”

when we tried to warn her that the ending of Wrath of Khan would upset her she ran over and yelled ‘Spock won’t die because I love him!’ (he died anyway. she was distraught)

also if you show her a picture of Spock and ask who he is she gets little hearts in her eyes and says dreamily “my boy”

Also uh update she watched the Search for Spock yesterday and is fucking estatic about seeing Spock alive again.

But she now has an imaginary friend. Any guesses.

It’s Spock.

The Spock party was a few months ago but it was grand. She squealed in earsplitting delight when I brought the cake out and made me carry her bridal-style around the house while singing the theme song.

As an update, still having a Spock birthday party in October. And she also got a Spock build a bear a few weeks ago.

Update!

The Spock party ended up being a spooky Spock party.

Guest wore Vulcan ear headbands and we had the best time.

She spent her birthday money making a friend for her Spock bear she made

Oh and she also asked me to make it so her two Spocks could be kissing as a cake topper.

I FINALLY GOT OFF MY BUTT AND FINISHED THIS 😩🍑 this took like 4 months of anxiously looking at it and hoping my brushwork was up to par to start shading this.
but it’s done now!! and it’ll be on sale as a print at frostbite next february (and hopefully sooner online, depending on how soon i’ll get this printed) this was also hugely inspired by the music video of sweet lovin’ by sigala, probably not surprising if you’ve seen it

my buddy klementev drew a matching dva to this, you should go check that out as well 💖

why are bats called bats?

linguisten:

awed-frog:

because they look like flying mice [Danish: flagermus, German: Fledermaus, Luxembourgish: Fliedermaus, Swedish: fladdermus]

because they look like half mice and half owl [French: chauve-souris]

because they look like half mice and it’s not 100% clear what the other half is [Ladin: utschè-mezmieur, Catalan: rat-penat, Lombard: mezzarat]

because apparently they make a flap flap noise [English: bat]

because they’ve got badass leather wings [Gaelic: sciathàn leathair, Old Norse:

leðrblaka]

because they look like cute nocturnal butterflies [Maltese: farflett il-lejl]

because they’re probably, like, blind mice [Serbo-croatian: sismis, Portugese: morcego, Spanish: murcíelago, Arabic: khaffash]

because they fly at night [Italian: pipistrello, Slovenian: netopir, Polish: nietoperz, Greek: nykterides, Farsi: shab parreh]

So bat literally means flapper. You’re welcome.

This, my friends, this is true etymology. Explaining why something is named the way it is, finding patterns and principles of meaning, not just tracing a word’s form back through time (which, admittedly, is oftentimes a prerequisite for exploring the former).
