Some ground rules:

2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it!

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra: fandom edition

[(Anonymous)]

Create your own little list of fandom references that can be used in place of more specific english words or phrases. Like the language in the Star Trek TNG episode "Darmok."

If you haven't seen that episode, here are some examples so people know what I mean:

"Juliet on the balcony": romance

"Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk": two people fight and then become friends

"Gretel and the stove": tricking an enemy into a trap

"The third little pig": the one smart guy among idiots

"Alice down the rabbit hole": suddenly thrown into a truly bizarre place or situation

"Not in Kansas anymore": far from home or anything familiar

A fandom example would be something like:

"The Daniel Jackson": apparently dying but then coming back/turning out not to be dead

etc.

i'm not even anon, sorry

Half my conversations with my fiance are pretty much fandom references to the level of Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Especially MST3k or actor specific references. But, they are very specific and have morphed from the original, so they wouldn't be helpful to this list. I just wanted to comment because I love shit like this.

"Sam and Dean at Stull Cemetary": A terrible disaster averted at the last moment by the power of familial love.

"Serenity, her primary buffer plate missing": A problem forewarned about, but not prevented due to inattention or forgetfulness.

"Galactica, free from networks": A piece of technology dismissed as outmoded which proves superior to its more advanced successors when unexpected circumstances arise.

"Xander's new girlfriend": A love interest predicted to go horribly wrong.

"Castiel, his brow furrowed": 'I don't understand that reference.'
