Today's note is a reference to the creative puzzle-platformer Portal, a popular PC game that portrays perjured pastries and square parallelepiped pals.

I grew up playing Metroid II for Gameboy, and even though I never beat it, I loved the game because the lead character, Samus Aran, was a butt-kicking female bounty hunter in spaaaaace.
Secret confession: we like both Star Trek and Star Wars, so yesterday you got Kirk, and today you get the awesome Princess Leia (who is one of my personal heroes for being unapologetically smart, skillful, sassy, seductive, and stalwart).
K should have been for Klingons, but I couldn't get the rhyme scheme to work, thus you are stuck with this petaQ of a human captain. I drew him in the style of Star Trek: The Animated Series.
Here we have a (literal) tip-of-the-hat to one of the finest sci-fi shows in the 'verse, Firefly.
For G we have a reference to the SNES game, Earthbound (originally released as Mother 2 in Japan).
For C, we have a reference to Doctor Who's 5th Doctor, and his infamous decorative vegetable.
For the next letter in our geekery-infused alphabet project, I bring you black holes - the quintessential mini-bosses of every space-themed sci-fi story.
These are the letters L-O-V-E written in Star Trek Vulcan calligraphy (as opposed to writing the actual Vulcan word for love, "ashaya.")
I love the way this writing system looks. The developers wanted it to seem like it had evolved from Vulcan musical staves, so the symbols are rounded, flowing characters that wrap themselves around a vertical center "spine" or column. If you follow my husband's blog, you have probably already seen this note here.
I love me some classic Doctor Who, but honestly every episode pans out pretty much the same. At least in "New Who," the monsters aren't always green... Actually, to be fair, New Who goes more like: 1. The TARDIS lands on the wrong planet / in the wrong time (probably London) 2. Daleks, Cybermen, or other sentient washing machines try to kill everyone (The entire Earth is in Peril!) 3. The Doctor promises to save everyone. 4. Many people are not saved. 5. The Doctor gets angry and goes super-saiyan. 6. The Doctor is comforted in his tragic loneliness by his latest fawning companion. |
