Do you remember that post from summer 2019, it might have been one of your posts, imagining what Good Omens would be like as a mid-2000s show on the CW? It was like “CW Crowley and Aziraphale would look like they are in their 20s, Crowley’s introduction has him unsubtly eating an apple in his flat, and Crowley doesn’t refer to Aziraphale as ‘angel’ because that’s gay”

That sounds so familiar, and I probably did write that (or something like it). If I ever find it, I'll let you know.

Favorite movie of the 80s?

the big chill (1983) might be my favorite movie of all time!

it's such a classic! amazing actors early in their careers (kevin kline, glenn close, jeff goldblum, so many more!!), the reunion of dear friends and deconstructing grief and the meaning or absence of meaning in life and growing up and who we were vs who we are now is just!!!!! so much!!!!!

i can't believe i loved it before i went to college and then i joined a co-ed fraternity that indeed made me ask "how much love, sex, fun, and friendship" can a group of people take... and we get together now as adults, thankfully under less tragic circumstances (the frame of the story is that they have reunited after the death of one of their friends from suicide).

it's SUCH a master class in characters. it really is just Hanging Out so there's no action or anything, but i think for people who love fanfic (focusing on character and emotion and deconstructing Events that have happened before the story starts) and the concept of nostalgia (even though this isn't MY era of nostalgia and probably isn't yours)... it's so so good. if you love it let's talk about it please!! if you hate it don't tell me.

edit: thank you to @spikeygorgeous for reminding me that i didn't mention the soundtrack absolutely makes this movie. perhaps soundtrack of all time?????

that's a fucking rough one, man. i feel your pain. i love clark. love thinking about him in my own head and never looking in his tag on any website <3

I’ve been keeping an eye out for all the other in-universe social social media/“timeblr” posts and have been reblogging and tagging them in my timeblr tag- but your tag would also imply that this is popular in the pokemon fandom?👀

YEA THERES A WHOLE SIDE OF POKEMON TUMBLR THAT POSTS LIKE THEYRE IN THE UNIVERSE!!! the tag is “pokeblr” :3

I’ve been heavily considering starting something like that for doctor who (and using the tag “timeblr” if that’s cool with you) because I’ve been looking to see if something like that exists for the doctor who fandom and so far I haven’t seen anything :0

honestly @ any doctor who fans if you’re interested in doing something like this for funsies it would be cool and fun as heck (just be sure to tag your posts with “unreality” for those who need that tagged)

i was looking at the lower decks tag and seeing you describe Red Dwarf as "MASH meets Lower Decks" made me drop EVERYTHING and immediately open firefox to watch Red Dwarf

eyoooo. I'm on season 3 now (I'm sure you've seen that there aren't that many episodes of that great a length per season, so it's quite easy to watch).

it's sneaking up on me slower than either of the other two shows, in that I often get quite melancholy and have to pause with shows like this, where it's very limited in characters and space. I cannot tell you why that is. maybe because it is actually quite a melancholy premise.

however s3 I think is opening up the world a tad more, which is exciting to me, and I imagine that'll continue to happen.

the sex farce part of it is often hit or miss with me, but then, it is on MASH too. it's very funny to me that it literally is a show about people working not just the equivalent of lower decks, but bottom of the rung, and could immediately pinpoint the mariner-boimler dynamic (of course, in some ways very different). made me think that someone who's writing for LD may be inspired by it, although they diverge quite heavily from there on out. and then it's very bold that red dwarf immediately fucks around with its premise (I did not know that that would happen, never mind that it would happen in episode one).

am still endlessly charmed by a liverpudlian in space, when do you ever see that happening? c'mon star trek, we've had enough RP, it's time for some midlands/northern (or welsh... have we had welsh on star trek yet, I don't think so. that'd be doctor who).

#i mean obvs scotty and o'brien have been there for the scottish and irish but we can have more people #it's not like a one-person per show deal lol #im getting a bit muddly with this ask #hope that you enjoy! #red dwarf #❤ ask #cipher-fresh #put ben daniels in space

You mention the ableism in the comment about ADHD and object permanence, but I was also taken aback in that article snippet about queer people living their teens in their twenties, as if that is a silly decision they made and not a result of societal homophobia and hurtful experiences? queer people not having the childhoods they wanted is a problem, but the article blames queer people for growing up? What?

Yeah, that was another inclusion that seemed HELLA careless imo

The concept of a "second adolescence" in terms of the queer experience isn't "I just want an excuse to run around and pretend I'm a child" AT ALL. It's based in the fact that people do a lot of maturing and learning how to be their own person and socialize and such when they are in their teens and how queer people are DENIED those CRUCIAL lessons because we are often ostracized from our communities. You can't learn how to date and make friends or get a first job or foster a sense of individuality or how to love who you are if you are constantly afraid that people finding out you're queer is going to get you killed OR if you are out and no one wants anything to do with you because of it.

And that's not even getting into the same subject re: victims of trauma. My teenage years were NOT normal and I was in survival mode like...fucking all the time, and it means I didn't learn a lot of the shit I was supposed to, or I learned it wrong, and so I've had to spend my 20s playing catch up. (And also I kinda like buying myself childish things sometimes bcs I've had to act like an adult my ENTIRE LIFE and sometimes a stuffed animal or lego set or video game makes me feel a little better.)

The second adolescence isn't about being free of responsibility, it's about learning how to be a person now that you have the freedom to do so, and the author clearly doesn't get that at all.

Favorite movie of the 80s?

This is such a nice ask!!! I'm sorry to say I've watched basically no older films, so I'm obligated to answer star wars vi- return of the jedi :) But I googled movies from the 80s, and of the list I only recognized the outsiders, which I also enjoyed! What about you, what's your favorite 80s movie?

#hi cipher!!! this is so sweet :) #the thing is my parents are indian so all 80s/90s western media is unknown to me and my media literacy starts at 2000s era bollywood films #LMAO #asks #cipher-fresh #kay talks

What's something you did this year you are proud of? What's something from this month that made you smile? What's something you are looking forward to?

I can finally answer this without it sounding sad and psthetic.

Thank you for your patience 💜

I finally made my dream costume of three years (pic below)

This month I got my eyebrow pierced (I had to have both my hands held because I don't like procedures on me) and Im so happy to have a cute new look

Hopefully getting the MGS Master Collection for my PS4!!

(Oraphim costume I've been wanting and planning to do since 2020ish)

What’s something you’re excited about/looking forward to before the end of the year?

oh thank you for this ask!! i have been wallowing in a week of disappointments (apple season cancelled due to hard freeze back in may!?) (why are The Symptoms going in wrong direction??) and was losing a little hope, so i am grateful for a reason to come up with a list!

so it's a list! i am excited about:

sparktober!!!

the annual sheppard/weir nostalgia festival on tumblr, discord, and of course ao3! coming soon to a dash and/or filtered tag near you.

also looking forward to...

finally seeing twin peaks: the return ☕️🌲

my housemate had never seen it before and i have never seen the third season so we're watching it the whole way through. the extensive knitwear and spooky vibes of twin peaks makes it PERFECT for fall viewing. if i get lucky, maybe i'll get matched on twin peaks for yuletide while it's fresh in my mind.

also airing at casa red...

my ass finally getting caught up on strange new worlds 🚀

will my brand new love for m'benga outpace even my love for captain pike??? pike does have a 30 year head start for me but watch this space

amid all this Media i am also hoping to

write some more fic!!

i had a secret goal of 12 posted fics this year and by some miracle of exchange deadlines, i'm now at 11!

if all this sounds depressingly Screens-Related, don't worry, i am depressed about that too! also eagerly awaiting such exciting seasonal activities as

pumpkin walk 🎃 winter lights wonderland 🎄 and woodstove season if my chimney doesn't collapse which hopefully it won't 🔥

thank you for asking!!

#chatter post #cipher-fresh #and of course Feeling Better and so on #also looking forward to my covid booster!!! yeah baby!

What can I say other than this is a bop for the ages? I’ve been feeling this one lately a little bit too so I think it’s gone up in plays. You know, being scared of letting yourself have feelings again after being hurt before…

Hi, Cipher!! This was such a sweet ask to receive, I'm sorry I've been too frazzled to reply until now!! My very first thought was the spy x family movie which is coming out in december, and I'm looking forward to sxf season 2 in october too!! I think I'm gonna publish at least one more fic before the year ends, which is wonderful! And apparently my family friend group is going to vacation somewhere before new years, which will be fun because it's been a year or two since we were able to do that!!
