Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I’m looking for a book in the vein of Alien Nation or District 9, where aliens on Earth are weaving into human society. Is there anything like this? 000
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The idea of doing something with swans came from this lighter. I then designed the pattern and went to town. I only wish I had used a lighter shade of blue floss for the water. #embroidery #crossstitch 030

Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 07/10/2026New design I'm working on. It started as one swan. Just a single swan. Then the design expanded to two swans. And now it's a whole thing. WIP #embroidery #crossstitch 0110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's fascinating how the prequel novels attempt to write Anakin as a young man who found himself trapped on all sides and who anchored himself to the worst option, while waving away his hand in the fascism. 110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It wouldn't be a stretch to claim the reason the Jedi High Council didn't want to accept young Anakin wasn't because he was too old and emotionally attached to his mother, but because he had free will (even when he was enslaved) and might call them on their shit. Which he did. 110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Exactly. In Star Wars: Dark Lord - The Rise of Darth Vader, one of the few surviving Jedi learns some hard truths about his past and how he came to be with The Jedi Order, and the book pulls no punches when it comes to outlining the problems with The Order. 110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 06/10/2026And the answer is simple: "No one. Nowhere." 110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's the last part that's the kicker. Technically, yes, one can leave. But you are raised to never form relationships. A Jedi has no friends, no family. The Order has cut Jedi off from all forms of bonding. If one even thinks of leaving, the first questions would be: "To whom, and where to?" 110
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Reading the prequel novels hammers home some weird shit about The Jedi Order. Such as: they really are a cult. You are taken in as an infant, forever separated from all family, told you can never have friends, and you own nothing. But The Order owns you - because you can never leave. 120

Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Fifth: Nurse Chapel is bi or pan, bitches! Hell yeah! Sixth: Were we to read disappointment on the face of Ortegas when Chapel says, "It would have to be the right guy" after Ortegas gently teases Chapel about her failed relationship with Dever? Seventh: The "Amok Time" battle music!!!!!!!!! 000
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Fourth: "Spock Amok" did so much heavy lifting to explain why Nurse Chapel is in love with Spock in TOS. She craves an emotion-lite relationship (FWBs) because deep, romantic emotions are difficult for her. So, Spock. But, she's clearly falling for him, and that's gonna be a problem. 100
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Second: The body-swap and R'ongovian sections captured the fun of TOS as well as the diplomatic drama Star Trek brings to the table. Third: I'm digging the Una / La'An relationship. When I see them together, I ask the question, "What if Ripley got to raise Newt?" 100
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026First: In all of Star Trek, are "Turnabout Intruder" and "Spock Amok" the only two body-swap episodes between 1969 and 2022? I see an episode of Prodigy ("Mindwalk") aired shortly after "Spock Amok," but it's an untapped trope especially when the transporters provide a perfect excuse. 100
Earth-2.net (Mike Sims) @earth2.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I've been digging into Strange New Worlds, and got to "Spock Amok" yesterday. Mini thread follows. 140
