lycantherous asked:
how do different cultures handle nudity in your canon? And also how do cultures view others nudity (like most humans might not even bat an eye at a nude vulcan)

Under a cut because long post is long! Obviously this isn’t every redesign, but I picked out a selection of species I’ve thought about and/or talked about before in this regard.
if you haven’t seen this extraordinarly gay performance of bill’s i sincerely wish for u to do so
@galyamova-aigerim and I were talking about how Star Trek is so english intensive, and wouldn’t it be fun if there were things from alien languages along the lines of “chai tea” and “naan bread” (and the recent info I learned that all the rivers in the SE US name -hatchee River are -River River)….
And we came up with yamok=sauce in Cardassian. So yamok sauce is really….sauce sauce.
So yes Cardassians have many dishes with “yamok” on them….bc there are many different “yamoks”!
“We know that a human being is capable of doing far more physiologically and psychologically than we ever dreamed of. When I walked in space in Gemini IX, doctors are saying, ‘Oh, he’s going to get space euphoria, he’s going to travel 18,000 miles, he’s going to feel like he’s falling out of the sky.’ Baloney.”
—Gene Cernan (1934-2017)

😭where did y'all even find this I’m dead
It’s in the Super Dictionary, a flawless piece of literature that has such other wonderful situations such as cake theft…
shoe-stealing whales…
Green Lantern and Green Arrow fleeing an angry mob (also a duck is involved)…
and “please help me.”
One of my greatest regrets is not owning this book.
Some more highlights from the Super Dictionary:
Superman is friends with a giant who has no teaspoons.
Green Lantern looks at animals.
Joker and Batman are dating.
Robin gets tied up a lot.
Robin in general has a very bad time.
Supergirl’s text says “afraid” but her eyes say something else entirely.
Superman invites literally everybody he knows to come and watch Lois Lane sleeping.
Lesbians.
Superman gets trapped in a bubble. Not a kryptonite bubble, just a regular soap bubble.
And Green Arrow plans to murder a child.
I could post dozens more of the strange situations (like Atom going on a date with a bee, Green Lantern LOSING HIS SHIT over a child trying to pick his flowers, some strange fetishy stuff with giants, Batman refusing to get down off the table, Wonder Woman’s continuous battles against pterodactyls, and Supergirl’s forays into paleontology), but that’d take forever and this post is already pretty long. The Super Dictionary is a wonderful acid trip of a book and I have never regretted purchasing my copy. If you’d like to see some scans, there’s more of them here!
