But I wanted to explore Pearl's complicated feelings/difficulties #Where she was raised on an alien planet devoid of any Earth culture or prejudice #and now when interacting with Humans she's under a whole new set of assumptions if that makes sense #& yes Pearl did give Hakeem a kiss with her mouth covered #bea art tag #star filled oyster

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars

#like why was farscape able to pull off homages like this with such fucking aplomb #when other SF shows do it and look like pandering cgi zombie vultures #it's because the homages were /part of it/! #when we get these visualizations of john's decaying brain they're set on stages like this one #because the scifi heroes that came before him are his guides #and the dark cosmic joke that premises the whole series is that #he's in a scifi universe that doesn't adhere to scifi logic #consequences carry over from one episode to the next #no federation comes to save you; alien women want to have sex with you in nightmares #no one speaks your language or follows your rules #there's no God no singularity no monolith #no true vision of the future #just some poor bastard hallucinating the 2001 louis xiv bedroom #'this is my world meat. you're just walking through it for a very long time.' #mankind's greatest contribution to the absurd

You know how you can find crop circles and monoliths in the creature stage??

The game implies, very strongly, that the grox were the first to reach space. After all their ships are the ones visiting your planet (and crashing into it). So the crop circles must come from them.

The Grox were trying to talk to you. Somewhere in between the Grox genuinely trying to communicate with you, trying to uplift you, and when you finally reach space billions of years later, something changed.

#im so interested in the idea that the grox were the First Ones #and as a result they poked around a little bit in their ships #left behind crop circles. monoliths. #they wanted to show you the stars #the grox were your very first alien contact #“spore” #“sporeblr” #from the drafts #q'd

Notes on Mary Oliver, Me, 7/13/2023

You see, I think I could like you in a party

I think I could like you at a brunch

I could like you outside the party in porch chairs,

With two or three of our closest friends.

But I cannot like you when we are alone,

When we sit you and I, alone, at one small table

And as you speak I find

That there is one thing you are always speaking about

And it is not the thing I am always speaking about.

(Woe is me; this core of my soul is not the core of anyone else's)

#emma writes #poetry #in college I took a creative writing course and we had a poetry section where we literally only read Mary Oliver #and from reading all her work it confirmed pretty quickly to me that poets often have a very specific emotion that they draw from creatively #and hers and mine were Very Different #and i feel like reading all her work at once like that ruined her poetry for me #rather than being able to appreciate her individual voice and the ways it was different from other poets #she became like one vast monolith to me and I felt alienated #i was looking for myself in her work and I didn't find it #and that last line there is my second wind of self-awareness #that 'well duh' moment about relationships in general of Why am I looking for myself in someone else? #everyone can only be themselves

Star Trek is so funny as a botanist because they beam down to one spot on a planet for a couple hours and act like they've comprehensively cataloged its flora. I know people whose graduate degrees are from mapping the vegetation of a single mountain valley. A whole planet, bro?

#this is true of everything else too of course--that there will be only one alien species and their culture will be monolithic #star trek tos

obsessed with how jake is relatively the most boring animorph throughout the series, yet becomes the most interesting postwar animorph

#animorphs #54 is way too short!!! #we don't really get a good look at ax's emotional state which is unfortuante #marco and cassie just soldier on in their own ways #to them the sheer emotional impact of the war is more oblique #and tobias is consumed by the monolith of grief #but jake is the only one who overtly and deeply struggles with guilt and regret and shame and self-loathing #and self-alienation

I FINISHED SEASON 2 OF VOLTRON

OKAY SO SO SO that was a WILD season and the showdown in the last 2 episodes? it was so dramatic and deserved. Really interesting to see the mages(?) get more screentime (though barely) because they are so funky. what are they doing why are they there. but anyways like last time I'lll put the rest below xD

BACK ABOUT THE MAGES. I don't remember their names but the head mage gives off "puppeteering-everything-from-the-background" vibes. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be the real mastermind behind it all. Like if the magic was used to corrupt some minds and help build the empire. Although I don't know what that would do to the world building?

Shiro. WHERE DID SHIRO GO. Like they went HARD on Shiro this season. He's trying his best but life keeps attacking him. The mind battles he has are super cool and WOW this man can fight. but also Shiro do you ever sleep. does he sleep. does he believe in self care. I don't think he's ever heard of sleep before.

Pidge gives off some of the vibes of Haruhi from OHHC. They both have similar genders. Love how she gets time to shine at the tech planet!

Hunk being a master chef is cool, especially considering he's probably never seen any of those ingredients before. Still kinda disappointing that they made 3/4 of his personality food. I also think he'd be good at hugs lol

Keith my man are you okay?? I'm getting vibes of orphan club which like same xD. But also now that Shiro is gone Keith is probably going to have to take over? The red lion has shown to act independently so if Keith takes over the black lion then they could still form voltron? (the black lion has show to not care as mucha bout who's in it, at least compared to the red lion.

ALSO the red lion acting independently feels kind of like a parallel to hyper-vigilance. Keith doesn't feel safe often so his lion is always on guard and ready to protect, unlike a lot of people who generally don't have such a hyperactive "I must protect myself at all costs" mentality. It's the constantly engaged survival instincts you honour

Love how lance is just some guy. I am not invested in him and I feel like he would not be invested in me if we ever met xD. Love how he's just some guy while Shiro has gone through insurmountable psychological and physical trauma. he's just there.

THE MERMAID ADVENTURE WAS SUPER NEAT. LOVE HOW THE QUEEN DIDN'T TURN OUT TO BE BAD (maybe? it felt a little rushed when it got to that point). The suspense of figuring out what was causing the mind control was pretty neat. Also the giant worm beast was living it's life. technically wasn't decimating the mermaid population so.. (joking joking I just really liked its design)

Black lion trust battles are super cool. But I gotta say the black lion has like, reverse trust issues. please just stop trying to pick the genocidal dictator that keeps killing millions of people. please. Though it does make me wonder if part of the reason the black lion accepted Shiro so fast was because Shiro reminded the black lion of the previous paladin? With the arm and vibes and everything?

Coran is growing on me. he's just built like that and honestly good for him. He's like a space dad. Also emo Coran is great, might be a heavy stereotype but you know what we can ignore that and let him own it. Give him back that haircut. Also how he speaks sometimes makes me think that he's not from the same planet Allura is? Like maybe he's from a sister planet of a species that evolved extremely similar but not identical. Because he can't do everything Allura can. UNLESS Allura can do it because she's a princess whichhhh eh. It's cool for her but also tiring to see the whole "royal families are good and deserve their positions because they are inherently more special and valuable" sort of message.

ALLURA. QUEEN. SHE IS FLEXING HER POWER AND I SUPPORT HER ON THAT ENDEAVOUR. She was being mean to Keith but all things considering I can understand her hesitance considering everything. Stills sucks that Keith had to go through her projections. but also DAMN when she blends in to sneak onto the ship I loved seeing her fight. like her fighting style there was literally "what if I just slam everything together". I love that for her

also Keith being only half(?) human is really cool but WOW the team was not very understanding. Just let the guy be. He's trying his best but he also needs time to process and adapt. And I don't think he adapted too well if his first(ish) reaction to being part galra was to throw himself into enemy ships and nearly die AGAIN

red lion going feral is cool. Love how it has a stronger personality compared to the others, but it makes the other lions seem less powerful? not powerful perse but more so they get almost kidnapped a lot more and don't really do anything about it while the red lion will fight for its own freedom.

ANYWHO I should probably go watch the third season because I MUST know where Shiro went. is he okay <- judging by his character he is one of the MOST least okay characters.

#voltron #voltron legendary defender #again I need to say the show is animated SO WELL. It looks so cool #It's pretty good so far. visuals are stunning but the story writing is a little weak at some points? #BUT they do not skip out on the world(s?) building #I am so thrilled that they showed a non-humanoid species of aliens be highly intelligence because I am tired of #humanoid/human-like centric alien designs. #humans aren't that special. aliens shouldn't have to be like humans because humans are not some sort of special monolith of epicness #<- cue me being a very autistic child trying to ask my teacher why people sometimes talk about animals as if humans #aren't technically animals also #and getting in trouble for it multiple times -_- #I still am confused ngl. humans are animals right? so why should huimans be treated more special than other creatures? #BUT that could be a ramble all of its own SO TLDR Love the range in alien designs #love the mech fights and visuals and everything #it's a super cool show thanks for the recommendation Loz!
