Do you love Star Trek: The Original Series? Have you ever tried to get your friends to watch it with you but they just don’t “get it”? Are you tired of defending your love for this show? Or do you just really ship Kirk and Spock?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you might want to click this link. I’m doing an episode-by-episode analysis of The Original Series on my YouTube channel, specially designed to get non-Trekkies or Trekkies who have written off TOS as “cheesy camp” to give the show an honest chance (and also to make a ton of jokes about Spirk tbh).

Three parts critical analysis, seven parts just going totally apeshit. Come laugh with (or at) me. ~RenTheBarbarian

(keeping this pinned here for anyone who wants to check it out)

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

This list was created consulting Year in Reviews, Fanlore articles, user feedback, vintage pinterest posts, and my own knowledge. Don't worry about not seeing the shows in their entirety, vote based on your judgement. Enjoy!

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

I fucking love him

I love the justice grandpa of fists

I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

I have a new role model

It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.

Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.

we need him more than ever…

sorry to make a long post longer but I feel like we could all really use some Everett True Beating Up Anti-Maskers content: 

He’s a hero, our Everett.

Just found out there were live action Everett True shorts (silent films, though, so the outbursts were largely body language)

Reblogging to always have it to hand. :)

Its of proper education for always reblog the good deeds of Everett.

Found a scan of a collection of Everett True from 1907

I never watched BBC Sherlock or engaged in the fandom and being into original Sherlock Holmes in the year 2024 feels like frolicking in a meadow that’s grown up over a battlefield. Occasionally a war weary veteran with shadows in their eyes will find me. “Don’t you know what happened in this place?” they ask me. “I literally don’t,” I reply, and go back to drawing guys from 1895.

yeah that's gonna become a heritage post up there with "decay is an extant form of life"
