#How to Talk to a Fish

[wherestoriescomefrom]

rian johnson took all that time, put in all that effort to make glass onion a fantastic period piece to the first four months of pandemic, a prescient narrative that anticipates the stupidity of rich billionaires, and then pulled the rug from under us because the world of benoit blanc just straight up doesn't have the mona lisa anymore

#Some geniuses in the notes are talking about how it wasn't the real mona lisa #And I'm editing my tags because tumblr is a website with minimal reading comprehension #But the POINT is that he went through all that effort to make the world canon complaint with ours #Only to DESTROY a cultural artefact real or not #Having massive political implications for the world #And that's what I was pointing out. Here and in another reblog that presumably no one will care to fish out #It's in the replies for those looking #Anyway I hope rian johnson makes ten of these without the mona lisa #Also as a side note. So many movies have ignored covid #Not this man. He's like no we'll include it. But if we divert from canon reality #We're going to destroy the mona lisa #Love that for him. Icon #hello void this is ridiculosity #knives out #glass onion

Recently extinct species make me sad for all the usual and normal reasons (loss of life, biodiversity and unique life forms that experienced the world wholly uniquely and acted in it like no other, to name three), but a big thing that also makes me so sad is the forgetting that comes right after. Many endangered species are greatly ignored to begin with whilst alive of course, which is awful, but the way that extinction also causes us to forget. A species could’ve been so abundant a hundred years ago, people would’ve used a fish species or a tasty plant for food, or parents would’ve warned their children to not put a poisonous toadstool or insect in their mouth, a diver would exclaim, “Aha!” after emerging from the shallows holding an especially big bivalve, or someone making a species diary would sketch out a local bird or fasten a single flower to the page. But.. then the species goes extinct. It doesn’t exist anymore. None of these events, these actions happen anymore. Not with these species. The people who had these experiences dwindle out and they may not even realise that their experiences were among the last of their kind. And we forget.

#i was thinking about the new zealand greyling which was once abundant #the maori people used to fish it and use it for food #for generations upon generations this fish species was their normal #but now it is just gone #could they have guessed that this will happen? that their everyday food item would go extinct one day #i was also thinking about the atlantic sturgeon and how it went regionally extinct in the baltic #the old northern europe people knew sturgeons. heck we had them less than a hundred years ago still #it was a native fish just like any other. just like salmon and trout #now? no one talks about them #they are forgotten #we dont learn about them alongside the perch and the pike and the roach and the trout #they are a mystery of a time gone by here #and it makes me so sad… how quickly we forget. we shouldnt

fish n chips to me is like,,,,, an enigma. not purely romantic, not purely platonic, not purely queer platonic, just,,,, ✨

literally no other way i can describe it jsgdjsgdjsvs

they have a relationship thats on such an ethereal level that it cannot be comprehended by the human mind. they simply exist together to spite everyone around them.

they change what they refer to each other as constantly. people become excessively more and more confused the more this goes on. one day its boyfriends, next its husbands, next its friends, next its co-captains, next its co-bastards. their relationship is a question to everyone including themselves.

#this ramble is sponsered by me not knowing whether to tag this fnc fic i wrote at qpr or romantic #literally this is the only way i know how to describe them #maybe its the aromantism kicking in #i just think like...... #theyre so special to each other in a way that physically cannot be described or even comprehended #anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk #jrwi #just roll with it #jrwi riptide #just roll with it riptide #jrwi chip #chip jrwi #jrwi gillion tidestrider #jrwi gillion #gillion tidestrider #jrwi fnc #jrwi fish n chips #jrwi fish and chips

this is my entire stance on the "american food is bad" discourse summed up

#there are two distinct times when american food is bad #when it's people who are well off or rich enough that all they care about is appearances and how expensive the ingredients are #bcs they don't care about taste anymore it's a status thing #and also when it's stupid gentrified gimmick restaurants basically following the Cesare from Big Top Burger formula #where it doesn't matter how it tastes #it's just about it looking cool or having a gimmick so influences will come take pictures and give you tons of free advertising #that's when american food is bad #bcs rip to y'all but I grew up dirt fucking poor around other dirt fucking poor people of all races and backgrounds #and we COULD cook y'all under the table with these things #when all you have for food is hamburger helper and canned soup well damn you learn how to make it taste good #also those two bad times are NOT unique to america AT ALL #remember the Australian fish and chips that had activated charcoal and looked like actual shit? #this ain't an american problem this is a fucking rich people problem send tweet #this is also why I can't watch chopped anymore #the way they talk about ingredients like those like they're worthless and they can't believe people would eat them #like cool glad you grew up well off enough to afford real people food #the rest of us had to learn to make velveeta taste good and you know what #I could cook your ass under the table with velveeta and all those other 'cheap' ingredients you're mocking

#my post #bee talks #i am very much in the fish are friends #fish are not food quadrant #i wish i liked seafood i think it would make my desire to live by the ocean a little easier but alas #as for the other one. idk how women feel about me so the jury is out on that one

Watcher/listener/entity Jim but he keeps sneaking out to make sure that in fact his admin (fWhip) is ok and isn't overworking himself.

fWhip IS actually overworking himself, making sure that everything in the server runs smoothly barely having sometimes time for rest between his building and administrating the code. So Jimmy has to force fWhip sometimes to rest, and he makes sure to look over the code himself as fwhip sleeps with his head placed on jimmy thighs.

#They can be so sweet #no one would in any server realized how much they love each other and the bullying and teasing is just that. teasing. fWhip is more then #capable to take care of his admin work and all that but that doesnt mean Jimmy cant help. especially when he HAS the means to. They might #bully each other but at the end of the day theyre lovers. like Jimmy said in the 30 days hardcore smp at some point. No one believes jimmy' #when he calles fWhip his lover. But they didnt have to bc at the end of the day theyre together and they care for eachother and appriciate #one another. There are ofc rough places. The both of them can be SOOOOO nasty to each other and they both sometimes act like donkeys. but a #the end of the day its resolved. #No one actually realizes how much the both of them needs eachother #anyway #fwhimmy #fish husbands #jimmy solidarity #fwhip #.txtpst #AU'S talk

Asmodeus♡ is my new farmer and his farm is literally named "The Damned" and he's super stupid and signed up to farm and commit murder in the mines. He somehow is a fisherman. He's not happy about it. Also, the heart is truly in his name. That's him, your honor. Asmodeus♡.

(it's even funnier when that's how it shows up in the pause menu, the heart outline. and yet. when people address him. it's Asmodeus♥ with a pink filled heart. Everyone looks like they're down bad for him while telling him to go away.)

#stardew valley #sdv haley #farmer asmodeus♡ #rest in peace dude youre an idiot who somehow is doing very poorly in life except your fishing level #follow up to the haley comic was supposed to be her and emily talking and emily bringing up how weird it was to have to say #the town crops mostly come from The Damned Farm and haley just whatst ??? #and so emily explains that's what he named his farm and haley just #well i guess with the whole town needing therapy why not get one more for the therapy pile

sometimes ill see a fandom text post just saying something we're all thinking and it can get over 8k notes but then ill see a cool fanart and it doesnt even get 200 notes.

guys clearly you all CAN reblog posts even if theyre not about your blorbo so what exactly is the issue when it comes to fanart????

also if you can leave a funny note on a text post you can leave a nice and supportive note on some cool art.

a simeple "cool" will make any artist really happy i can promise you that.

#i spam reblogged some art yesterday and it has barely gotten any notes #like are you guys kidding me???? #you can reblog a haha funny post about g fishing but not fanart someone spent who knows how long on?????? #this isnt hate to any of the text posts btw #i like them i think theyre funny and i like seeing them #i just wish people had the same amount of energy when it came to reblogging and commenting on fanart #stiff talk

and if i wrote about rose and her weird uncle (?) getting into shenanigans around town, what then?

#the ? is bc no one is really sure if that’s her uncle or maybe a family friend? #but he’s very strange and likes to talk about himself like he isn’t human #think 12 as the janitor of coal hill #i just think it would be fun to write about how they look to outsiders #14 picks up rose from school and is like ‘rose. rose! i finally got your mother to agree to let you have one (1) tardis ride. #‘to anywhere?’ ‘ah well. she specifically said i could pick you up and take you home so. no. but! i’ll stop and get us fish and chips :)’ #‘don’t tell your mother’ #doctor who #14th doctor #rose temple noble

just thinking out loud here but i feel like a lot of popular perception of kon esp in online fandom spaces is colored by his joie de vivre and all the times he's silly and goofy. which i do of course adore!! i love when he's silly and goofy. but comparing that perception to, that of like, clark or kara, i feel like kon gets shunted into the box of "dumb comic relief character" a lot more easily. lots of factors probably contribute to that (sb94 having a bad rep, while no other kon comic really goes into a lot of his tragedy; conflation with the side of the fandom that doesn't read comics; the fact that comparatively postcrisis kara doesn't have a team the way kon has yj and clark is seen as a more capable adult, so other characters in the jl get the "dumb comic relief" short end of the stick more often; etc) ...

... but what really gets me about him is that he does embody a lot of the same traits as the rest of the kryptonian superfam. he's so extremely kind. he's got that same noble heart as the rest of them; he cares about everyone and he wants to protect everyone. and he's so, so lonely. he struggles between cultures and worlds where he feels like he doesn't belong to either. he is so strong and capable and holds so much power that it scares him.

cradles him gently in my hands. he contains multitudes... come closer don't you want to love him 🥺

#rimi talks #i'm mostly drawing parallels here between kon clark and kara: #the almost divine loneliness. the struggle to fit in. the kindness and deep deep love and desire to help others. #ofc that isn't getting into Every member of the superfam like linda or kenan or anyone else bc that would be a MUCH bigger post #but i'm mostly picking these 3 bc. well i'm a postcrisis girlie first of all. and also theyre the 3 i think fandom acknowledges most? #at least in my perception of it! (now whether fandom acknowledges them in accurate ways. well no bc nobody knows kara past the basics. but. #(that's a whole other post. this one's about how kon DOES in fact also share the loneliness and noble heart and everything with them. augh) #kon #i was really tempted to go pull panels from rots/sb94/etc to illustrate each point (loneliness nobility kindness etc) but #im SUPPOSED to be writing fic right now. theres a dick on that page that aint gonna suck itself #so back to the writing mines with me. but i was just thinking about kon. (i know. shocking) #also i had to go hunting for the 🥺 emoji bc my recents are entirely filled with fish lately. fjhdskjfh #anywhoozies. mines. farewell

Finally got around to a re-listen of TMA and with the benefit of hindsight Jon’s initial hostility towards Martin is so ridiculous! In the very first episode he says he doesn’t even count Martin as an assistant as he's "unlikely to contribute anything but delays" but based on what? They barely know each other at this point so is his entire vendetta against Martin - to the point where Jon idly wishes for him to get chopped up by Angela the jigsaw witch - just because of The Dog Incident?

There's no way Martin is so terrible at his job that Jon could have valid criticism of his work that early on, and Martin came down to the Archives from the library, he’s probably the only person down there with the vaguest idea of what archivists are supposed to be doing! He's been working at the institute for 10 years or so and no one other than their mind-reading, eldritch horror boss ever twigged that he wasn't qualified, so there's no way he wasn't at least capable.

And if Jon does already think he's useless, it's probably because he's acting as though he's still in research and Martin is actually doing something adjacent to archiving.

Martin gets the transfer and he's kind of nervous cause a new boss means someone else to potentially be scrutinising his CV but he figures - it's archiving, it's cataloguing and filing and documenting, it's not so different from what he’s been doing in the library for a decade, he can handle this. It's only when he meets Jonathan "wtf is an archivist?" Sims and hears "okay so Tim is sleeping with the lead police officer on this murder case and Sasha has already hacked the guys home and office computers, I need you to harass this witness to make sure they don't want to refute their statement" that he thinks he might be in over his head.

It really only gives you three possible options:

1. He really is determined to never get over The Dog Incident.

2. He actually recognises that Martin seems to know a fair bit about archiving and is so afraid that at least two, possibly three of his assistants might actually be better qualified for the job than him that he’s lashing out.

3. He took one look at Martin and thought, "I've got a jam-packed schedule of stapling priceless documents, bitching about statement-givers on tape and running away from the spiders in my office, I cannot afford to get distracted by that guy's cute face and big sad eyes" and immediately did everything possible to push him away.

#tma #the magnus archives #martin blackwood #jonathan sims #jmart #jonmartin #magpod #hotel talks about tma #its confusing me as to how long they have known each other tbh #cause the live show would suggest that they meet for the first time #immediately after Jon has recorded the angler fish statement #but in the first episode he's already bitching about martin in his opening comments on that statement #dunno 🤷‍♀️ #anyway secret 4th option it's all 3 #and the assistant who knows his job better than he does #AND embarrassed him on his first day #is also super duper cute
