THE LIST OF THINGS NINTENDO PREDATES INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

THE SHERLOCK HOLMES FRANCHISE

UNITED STATES PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISHENHOWER’S BIRTH

THE NOVEL “DRACULA”

THE NOVELS “THE TIME MACHINE” AND “WAR OF THE WORLDS” BY H.G. WELLS

THE FIRST MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES

THE DISCOVERY OF HELIUM ON EARTH

… Okay. I believe you. But like… how?

NINTENDO WAS FOUNDED IN 1889 AS A CARD GAME MANUFACTURER AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS HAPPENED IN 1890 OR LATER

There’s a Yu-Gi-Oh AU to be written here

kari-izumi:

I had a discussion about this a while back and someone pointed out that for all the talk about Starfleet being open-minded and human culture being so enlightened at this point, there was still quite a bit of bigotry towards certain races, particularly Klingons.

This same episode gave us flashbacks of young Torres opening a sandwich to find a classmate had placed live worms in it.

How the hell does a kid born to a supposedly enlightened, tolerant culture learn about that?

At least DS9 had Quark, who always called out the Federation members for exactly this stuff. I was frankly surprised that Voyager even went there because…well, Voyager.

directium:

Death Note AU where, instead of writing a name to kill someone, you write a URL to ban them from a website permanently

Death Note AU where Jeff D’onofrio and the idiots on staff are written into the death note and banned from Tumblr 😄

Seto Kaiba has a crush on Dwayne Johnson

  • all the muscles but not in a scary way
  • runs own charity which supports children
  • has played a god and Kaiba has a thing for people who are also gods
  • is a massive nerd and player of games

+ this actual definitely 100% perfectly canon scene:

Bashir- You’re positively glowing.”

Kira- “Really?”

B- “I think so, but then I suppose my opinion doesn’t really count.”

K- “It counts, but don’t forget- this is still your fault.”

This was the absolute best meta moment in the history of Star Trek ever.

(For everyone on my dash who is unfamiliar with Deep Space Nine, the two actors were a couple and Nana Visitor had gotten pregnant. Rather than hide her behind bags and other props, the writers ingeniously had her character become a surrogate when a coworker’s wife becomes injured and she was the only other female around to transfer the fetus into. Because, Star Trek 🙂 Bashir the doc was the one who did the procedure. )
