one of my favorite tropes is “guy with a sword in a world where guns are real”

Not sure which is better:

  1. Swords do suck compared to guns but character is old fashioned and stubborn and the sword is a sign of foolishness.
  2. Swords and guns are about equal for people who use them it’s just a matter of preference (gun range vs powered up swords)
  3. Swords suck compared to guns… unless this one specific guy has a sword, in which case everyone is scared.

“I used to dream of drinking tea with you at night, I mean, to be partners in happiness and in joy. Believe me, my dear, it warms my heart, even if you are far away. Not because I love you less, because I love you more.”

[ID: two screenshots from “Star Trek: The Animated Series”, showing the Vulcan, Spock, saying “The photon torpedos will not respond, either.” (all caps). In the screenshot underneath is Lt. Uhura, a black woman, answering “Well, we could always throw rocks.” (all caps).

Next to these two screenshots are two other screenshots from “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. Both are showing Will Riker. He’s saying “If it should become necessary to fight, could you arrange to find me some rocks to throw at them?”

Underneath these 4 screenshots is the “epic handshake” meme. Over the black arm is the name “Uhura” and over the white arm is the name “Riker” written. Over their joined hands are the words “Just throw some goddamn rocks”. /end ID].
