A while ago while I was in tumblr jail, you posted that you had a masters in science fiction literature (unless you didn't, I have been known to be mistaken), and I am wondering, what do you consider 'important' works of science fiction? Like the science fiction literary canon? I am so curious. Feel free to ignore, I will not harass you.
Yes! I do. I can tell you the ones that I was assigned (I'm afraid that the list skews extremely male and (especially) white).
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)
Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) [You can probably add Odd John (1935) to this list]
Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) [You can probably add From the Earth to the Moon (1865)]
H.G. Wells, The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1897) [Though you can probably go ahead and add The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901)]
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland (1915)
Catherine Burdekin (writing as Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)
Karel Čapek, R.U.R. (1920)
Isaac Asimov, I, Robot (1950) [You can probably add the first three Foundation novels here as well]
Yevgeny Zamyatin, We (1921)
George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949)
Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1967) and Rendezvous with Rama (1973) [Add: Childhood's End (1953) and The Fountains of Paradise (1979)
John Wyndham, Day of the Triffids (1951) [add: The Chrysalids (1955) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957)]
H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" (1926) [add The Shadow over Innsmouth (1931)]
Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954)
Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination (1956)
Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) [Probably Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) too, depending on, you know, how much of Heinlein's bullshit you can take]
J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World (1962) [Also, The Burning World (1964) and The Crystal World (1966)]
Phillip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle (1962) [Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and several of his short stories]
Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)
Michael Moorcock, Behold the Man (1969)
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-5 (1969)
Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed (1974) [Also The Lathe of Heaven (1971) and The Left Hand of Darkness (1969)]
Brian Aldiss, Supertoys series
William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)
Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992) [Also Green Mars and Blue Mars]
They also included Iain M. Banks's The Algebraist (2004), but I personally think you'd be better off reading some of his Culture novels
Other ones that I might add (not necessarily my favourite, just what I would consider the most influential):
Joe Haldeman, The Forever War (1974)
Matsamune Shiro, Ghost in the Shell (1989-91)

William Hope Hodgson, The House on the Borderland (1908)
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash (1992)
Joanna Russ, The Female Man (1975)
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game (1985) [Please take this one from a library]

SAVIOUR COMPLEX (Mark Hoffman x F!Reader) (Pt. 13)
(Part 12) (Part 14)
Rated: M
Tags/TWs: language/ past abuse/Mark Hoffman being a c*p/reader's life is getting messy/ Detective Gibson/ LINDSEY PEREZ????/ CHAINSHIPPING MENTION???????/ trauma n grief/ hurt NO comfort
Housekeeping: I'm retconning that Lindsey wasn't killed by Mark. I've decided she took a long sabbatical after her injury and then returned only after the coffin trap.
You stand at the wooden panel door within the hospital. You reference the name scrawled on your note in your hand and compare it to the name plated on the door.
You knock and enter when prompted. Sitting behind a desk, 40s-50s something with slicked blond hair is a man. He's scribbling onto a notepad and looks up when you enter.
“Hello, sorry did we have an appointment?”
“No, sorry!” You lower your head and smile bashfully, pressing your way inside and closing the door behind you. “I hope I'm not inconveniencing you. It's…not a medical issue.”
He straightens, then tenses a little, but maintains his smile.
“Well…have a seat I suppose.”
You do.
“Thank you. I swear it'll only be a few minutes. I need guidance, and if you're willing I think you're the best person to offer it.”
You give him the opportunity to interject but when he doesn't, you continue. “There's someone in my life that I care very deeply about. He's just been arrested for connection to the Jigsaw murders. But…it's not him. I know it's not.”
Gordon nods and passes a pen between his hands. “Detective Lieutenant Mark Hoffman.”
Your eyes widen.
“Yes. You know him?”
“Not really. We've only met a handful of times.” Gordon puts down the pen, leans forwards on his elbows. Sighs. “Sometimes, we think we know people, know them to the very marrow of their being, and then the next moment they're a stranger.”
You look at the floor. “I know. But I've known bad men. I've been with a very very bad man. And Mark is not a bad man. He's hotheaded, and can be misguided sometimes but his intentions are good.”
“May I say something that might upset you to hear?”
You obviously want to say no. Your hands are starting to shake.
“Sure.”
“That same thing could be said about Jigsaw. John Kramer or any of his accomplices.”
“But not him. Doctor, isn't there someone, anyone in your life that you would do anything for?”
And though you don't know it, in that moment, he thinks of Adam Stanheight.
“There was once.”
“And?”
“I couldn't save him.”
Your throat begins to close up.
“I need to. Please.”
Gordon pushes back from the desk, seems to go over something in his head before clasping his hands together.
“I know someone who may be able to help. May. I can't legally give you any personal information but if you can find it, give her a call. Jill Tuck. John Kramer's widow.”
You recognize the name upon hearing it.
“She's a clinician, right?”
Gordon doesn't respond, doesn't even nod, but doesn't deny it.
“I hope I was able to help.”
You smile. “You did, in some measure. I really appreciate it.”
You get up to leave.
“Can I ask you something before you go?”
You turn.
“Of course.”
“What happens if you're wrong? I hope you're not. But, what if?”
You falter. “Not even a possibility I can entertain.”
Gordon nods in an understanding you don't know. You thank him again and leave the office.
-
You worked very hard to get Jill's home address. Not wanting to bombard her at work, you got the name of a reporter from Gerri, who got you Jill's address. Probably from some past or current harassment over her dead husband. You feel guilty for being the next in line.
She's in a nice complex and you knock on the door. After a moment of waiting, you hear approaching footsteps and the door opens. Your eyes widen when you recognize she's the woman you served at work.
“Oh, hi! Um, are you Mrs. Jill Tuck?”
She leans on the door. “Miss. And yes.”
After a moment, you shake your head.
“I know you. From the restaurant.”
“Oh yes, you're that nice waitress. What can I help you with?”
God, you really hate to do this to her now.
“I'm really sorry to do this but I'm desperate. Someone I care for very deeply needs my help. And I was told you'd be the best person to ask.”
She adjusts her posture and you notice that she keeps a sturdy blockade between you and her apartment.
“What's this about?”
“Mark Hoffman? He's a detective-”
“I know who he is.”
It's a clipped response.
“Oh. Well, he's been arrested. I need to prove his innocence.”
“And who told you to come to me?”
Her bubbly demeanor from the restaurant, even the positivity when she opened the door, has given way to a coldness. You understand, but it's still jarring.
“I don't know if I should say…”
“If you managed to find where I live, I think I deserve to know.”
“Dr. Lawrence Gordon.”
“Ah.”
You shake your head. “I'm sorry. I think coming here was a mistake.”
“Look. All I can say, and if the police ask I'll tell them the same thing, is that I don't know anything about Jigsaw other than he was my husband. I don't know about any accomplices.”
You look at this woman and really see her. She's gorgeous, a kind face, weathered by what was likely the relentless stress of having a serial killer for a husband. You also distantly recall hearing something once about a baby, when everything came out…
And to think, here she is, collected and living.
“Okay. I'm sorry to have bothered you. Have a good rest of your day.”
“You too.”
She closes the door and you take yourself back down the hall. Another dead end. You check your watch and curse at the time, running out of the building and hailing a cab. You're almost late for work.
-
Half a shift in with decent tables and tips to match, and running drinks from the bar when your night manager catches you.
“Jesus, Jake! I'm not paying for these if you make me spill them.”
You're half joking but the look he gives you is full serious.
“I'm getting pretty tired of cops showing up around here. Got one asking up front.”
Your stomach knots and you return the drinks to the bartop. Wiping your moist hands on your apron you peek around the corner and blanche when you spot Gibson. And you have half a mind to go duck into the kitchen when he spots you and beckons you over.
He gets a good look at you, rubbing his jaw. He looks as worn as he did when they arrested Mark.
You lead him outside into the cool night air. The neon sign of the restaurant hums above you and casts yellow onto the wet pavement.
“What is it?” You ask and wrap your arms around yourself.
“You're being called in for questioning. Is it okay if I drive you?” He hooks his thumb in the direction of his car. You smudge a hand across your cheek and sigh.
“Can I finish my shift first?”
He looks at you, his eyes softening a little, before he nods.
“Sure.”
You do finish your shift and throw your apron in your locker before walking out with Gibson. He actually opens the passenger door for you, something that gives you pause, before seating himself behind the wheel.
“Sorry it's so late,” he mutters and cranks up the heat.
“It's fine,” you lie. You did make him wait, and you're still a little surprised he did so in the first place. “I've actually been wanting to talk to you. I need you to tell me what evidence you have against Mark. And if you need incentive, I would be very happy to go to the chief and tell him about you assaulting me if you don't give me what I want.”
You're at your wit's end about helping Mark and you know that until you know for certain what they have against him, you don't have a leg to stand on.
Gibson's hand, still on the stick, positions it back to parked. He turns to you.
“When I take you to that room, I'm going to give you that evidence for free. You can even tell the chief too. I won't try to stop you. Believe it or not, regardless of my unprofessional and inappropriate behavior choices, I have no ill will against you. The disdain I harbor for Hoffman carried over into our interactions and I regret it.”
You're stunned into silence. He's looking at you, too, not avoiding your eyes.
“I say all of this so that hopefully you'll trust me when we get in that room. You can hate me, you can tell me to go fuck myself. But before that, can you at least listen?”
In the short time you've known him, Gibson has proved an enigma to you. Bad temper, bad mannered, but quick, sometimes smart. Downright nasty in some situations. But in the moment, when it counts…
“Yeah…okay.”
-
He doesn't lead you to the interrogation room. Instead, he takes you to a conference room with warmer lighting and comfortable seats. There's coffee ready, and the blinds are pulled. And sitting across the table is a woman you've never seen before. Her curly black hair is pulled up and you can very clearly see the scars that mark her face and neck, like she'd been cut relentlessly.
“This is Special Agent Perez with the FBI.”
The rises to shake your hand. When she smiles at you, you manage to remember watching the TV reports. One of the first federal agents on the Jigsaw case.
“Holy shit. You're- I thought you were gone.”
“I took a sabbatical to distance myself from…Peter. but when Jigsaw started killing again I came back in.”
Peter… Strahm. The supposed official Jigsaw accomplice. Those details you were a bit shaky on.
Gibson invites you all to sit.
“I figured it would help to have her here. Make this a bit easier.”
You look between them. She seems warm and inviting judging by her resting face giving you attention and a soft look in her eyes. And…he's put another woman in the room with you.
You blow out air. He's really trying.
“Okay…What evidence?”
Perez speaks first. “Let's start with Peter- Agent Strahm. The FBI had reasonable suspicion of him due to…physical evidence being left at the scene of an earlier trap. But, through some medical dating, we were able to determine that the particular piece of evidence would have only been left after Peter was dead. In short-”
“You ruled him out.”
“Yes.”
You look between them again.
“So you're saying he was framed.”
Silence. They're waiting for you to connect the dots.
You do.
“You're saying he was framed by Mark.”
Perez nods. You clench your fists around the fabric of your pants and focus on your breathing.
“So what about this new evidence?”
It's Gibson's turn now. He's sitting next to you and softens his posture to face you. “DNA samples, personal items, both found at the newest crime scene. Irrefutably Mark's.”
You're staring at the woodgrain of the table. You can't seem to blink.
“So that's it? That's enough to damn him? If Strahm was set up, why couldn't Mark be set up? Why do you get to believe Strahm but I can't do the same?”
For a moment, they're a little shocked at your words, stuttering between them before Gibson takes over.
“Well, with all due respect, you're not a detective or an FBI agent. And Agent Perez new Strahm for years. You've known Mark for a month. You've put in a lot of effort to gather support for Mark, but what have you found so far? Who's vouching for him?”
Your head begins to shake.
“No. I'm sorry, but no. I don't believe it. It's too easy.”
Perez leans further over the table.
“Have you heard of Occam's razor? That sometimes the simplest answer is the right one?”
“But, he cares about people. About his sister, about me.”
“Enough to kill his sister's abusive and murderous ex? To kill your ex?”
Ted.
“No…”
He promised.
“Let me ask you this. Has he ever acted out of the ordinary? Kept strange hours… acted violently or maliciously? Said strange things?”
“Yes but…”
“Is it possible you've suspected this and you don't want to believe it?”
Tears are forming and you don't think you can hide the wavering in your voice.
“I think… I think I should call a lawyer.”
“Why?”
“Because these questions- they're scaring me. Confusing me.”
“You're more than welcome to call a lawyer, but is a lawyer going to be able to ease your mind? These are the facts, this is what we know is true. Everything we know points to Hoffman, more than likely, being an accomplice to Jigsaw, and now taking on the mantle.”
It can't be true. Your hands move from your trousers to the table top, shaking against the smooth surface. You're suddenly very hot and Perez must notice this because she pours and slides you a glass of water. You consider it, reach out fingers, then draw back knowing that you can't possibly hold it.
“…can I see him?”
Gibson stutters.
“I'm not sure that's a good idea.”
You feel the tears return. You aren't entirely sure what you think talking to him will do. Maybe just seeing him will unlock the vice grip threatening to squash your heart? That this internal pain is the only thing you can consider managing?
“Please? I won't repeat any of what you just said, I promise. You can be in the room. But I need to be able to look him in the eyes.” They're silent, avoiding your eyes. “Gibson, please.”
He clicks his teeth, nods at the table.
“I'll see what I can do.”
“Thank you.”
Gibson walks out of the room, leaving just you and Perez, who reaches a hand to yours. Not to hold it, but like an extension of sympathy.
“Hey, I know what it's like, to go through life with everyone telling you that the person you trusted more than anything is a killer. It's hard. You're gonna get through it.”
You pull your hands back into your lap.
“You have the comfort of knowing for sure it wasn't Strahm though. And isn't it a comfort?”
You don't mean to harden your glare but it can't be helped. She knows this.
“It is, for what it's worth.”
-
The Chief agrees to five minutes between you and Mark with him in the holding cell and you a safe distance away, with Gibson's presence. You note that Perez is not invited.
Mark's sitting on a bench inside when you enter. The must've gotten some of his clothes from the lockers because he's changed into a shirt and jeans. You wonder if they've given any attention to his wounds or kept up with his pain med dosages.
He doesn't move when he sees you and it's suddenly very difficult to move your feet so you end up almost shuffling with Gibson at your back. You stop in front of Mark, plenty of space between you and the bars.
He looks up at you. Doesn't stand, doesn't speak.
“How's your leg?” You ask. He doesn't break away.
“Still hurts.”
You turn to Gibson.
“Have you been giving him pain meds? The hospital said-”
“We know. We have.”
You nod and turn back to Mark.
“Mark-”
“Don't ask me.”
You let out a shaky breath.
“I have to.”
“You know what my answer will be.”
“Maybe, but I need to hear you, to see you say it.”
He doesn't move.
“Mark, did you kill-”
“Let me finish-”
“No, I can take accusations hurled from everyone but you.”
Your mouth drops. “I'm not accusing-”
“How many times and ways can I say it before you people get it? I didn't kill anyone!”
When he stands up your back hits the wall. You've heard him shout before, but never like this…never at you.
“It looks really bad from here, Mark.”
“Meaning what?”
“Meaning you should maybe calm down instead of scaring the one person you've got on your side,” Gibson snaps. Mark stills. Sees you and the way you've turned yourself inwards.
“I- I'm sorry. I'm tired. It's not an excuse but there it is. Hey,” he comes closer to the bars. “Thanks for coming. I mean it.”
How badly you want to go to him. But even if Gibson wasn't standing right there waiting to prevent it… you're not sure you would.
It's almost like every once in a while you suddenly remember who Mark is and always has been. He's a cop, he knows he has power, he has a temper. He can be kind and loving or he can be cold. It's confusing to see both battling for control in front of you.
You turn to leave without thinking. Gibson is surprised but follows you out. You press the back of your hand to your mouth to stifle your crying when you hear Mark calling after you.
Occam's razor. Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one.
And the answer was just staring you in the face.

Montreal Worlds 2024 Day 4!
My voice is completely shot, my hands are legitimately sore from clapping, ears still slightly ringing, and I had the best damn time!
FREE DANCE
Mrazek's easily won the Swan Lake Battle, team nepotism were fucking awful, and it was even more apparent when a superior team skated to the same music directly after them. Diana Davis walked on the ice for 4 minutes, and did one lift that was supposed to be impressive, but was just shaky. Woof.
Olivia Smart deserves so much better, judges were not kind.
Lim and Quan got a standing ovation and they more than deserved it, they were stunning. I adored every single second of that free dance.
I didn't watch that team, so don't know, don't care, and fuck 'em.
I still don't love Turkkila and Versluis that much, in person they skate quite small and it felt like the program dragged on forever.
OKAY SO. A documentary is being made about the Reeds it seems like, a dude came and set up a camera next to us because Cathy Reed was sitting two rows behind, and he made the people right behind us come sit in our row and us scooch down so that they could get a good shot of her watching her sister. So that was both cute and a little annoying. We were stuck there also for Cpom, since Cpom had already started by the time the camera guy left and we didn't want to disturb others watching. A nice program from R/A though!
Cpom were SO very good. They were captivating and lovely, definitely had more speed at the start of the program, but wow have they ever improved. A joy to watch.
Back in my seat, in time for the small most boring most rip of P/C program of them all. 2/10.
Lajoie and Lagha had me right from the start. Just. I adore them so much. I'm so proud of them for coming back so strong after injury, I cried, I clapped, I cheered. I was fully moved.
Fear and Gibson were just fucking awful. I hated it. She's throw around in lifts and never needs to hold a position, they are doing push ups on the ice, they are standing still for 45 seconds in their choreo step, they are the second slowest team, and god just can they go away already?
Chock and Bates ARE SO FUCKING SLOW. I don't know if I didn't notice it in the RD, but jesus christ so glaringly obvious they were trudging through molasses the entire program. I didn't like the program. It was two cool lifts, and then a slow slog through Madison Chock being off the ice as much as possible. 1/10.
The first time ever the Italians made me happy. A nice program, a nice moment. The dress mishap at then was a little funny, still annoyed they will likely stay in until Milan.
Gilles and Poirier, the third slowest team. After the emotional moment with L/L, I just wasn't as moved or interested in this program. It felt melodramatic more often than not. Glad for them winning the free, now retire already.
MEN'S FREE
Adam coming from 19th to 3rd, what a moment. The crowd loved the back flip, and in the moment, I did too. Why not? He had nothing to lose. Redemption skates always give me warm fuzzies.
Donovan was a lovely time, she's got such razzle dazzle, he needs to work on his speed though.
Goodbye two spots of Canadian Men, that's all I have to say about that.
Love Selevko, he's my favourite.
Kao, it was not your day, or your competition. He kept drilling and fucking up his quad in front of me all warm up, I wanted to shake him.
Jun, it was also not your day or your competition, but you have a nice ina, so it's all cool.
Deniss was a lovely moment, I enjoyed his skate a lot. When he got standing ovation, a rude American behind me loudly said 'why are people standing up, he didn't do that well?' Which was wild.
Jason Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So beautiful. The single axel honestly made me laugh. What a treat it was to see him skate.
Lukas was also a very fun moment, he's a skater I enjoy waching.
Shoma, I love you. <3
Yuma! What a moment, a shame about the triple axel, but that step sequence is so gorgeous. Can't wait to see him grow and evolve as a skater.
Ilia was there. LISTEN. Okay. Objectively the things he is doing are impressive, I just personally do not find it interesting. You know what I mean? My and my friend were at a sensory overload high and we just booked it out of the venue during his standing ovation before the scores cause we had to get out there. That rude American I mentioned would not stop fucking yelling at the top of his lungs during the skate, I had to plug my ears several times. Good for him, but he's not my thing at all.
GENERAL THOUGHTS AND HAPPENINGS!
Okay, so that rude American I mentioned a couple times, he was honestly hilarious. Another guy was sitting next to him, and the rude American kept giving him all wrong information about skating. Just confidently, with his whole chest, attempting to educate someone with nothing but false info. He kept calling jumps wrong (called flips toe, calls loops sals, and sals lopps), he said that V/M skated to Umbrellas at their first worlds (it was their second) he pronounced salchow like sal-CH-OW, no card C, but chow like chow down, he called several elements wrong all ice dance events, got coaches wrong for several skaters, etc. So hilarious.
I saw Corey Circelli and almost asked him he's like Italy but then didn't.
On our way out, we walked next to Lia, Trennt, and Hannah Lim all talking about Ilia's skate, that was fun.
Thinking of drafting an official complaint with the Bell Center to make their seats 4 inches bigger on all sides. I'm so serious my right hip, and lower back still hurt. Those seats were made for babies.
My wonderful amazing friend who I hadn't seen works at the Bell Center on the weekends, and I got to catch up with him, and then during the men he brought me a hot chocolate. Shoutout to him, he's the bees fucking knees.
I shan't be going to the gala. Thought I could do it, but I am so sensory overload from four straight days of bright, loud, and crowded. I am a person that like dim, quiet, and 3-4 people at most, and I am at my limit. Also, fuck those seats, I can't sit in them for one more minute.
ALL IN ALL! I had SO much fun, it was truly amazing seeing all these skaters I've loved for so long, and being able to really watching and analyze so many different things. I've gained new appreciation, new perspectives, and some new favourites. I am, however, very ready to get home to my bed, my cat, and my space. I'm flying out dumb early tomorrow, and I can't wait!
#konner talks skating#WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#what a time it was#i'll never go a worlds again for at least 5-6 years#if it comes back to canada in a decade#ill consider it#but im getting a sky box if i do lmao

The new Stan Original Series Scrublands, based on the best-selling book, is coming your way.
The upcoming Stan Original Series Scrublands has officially gone into production, meaning the compelling new crime show is one step closer to appearing on our screens.
The new Stan series centers on the story of a charismatic young priest who one day opens fire on his congregation and kills five parishioners.
The series is based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Chris Hammer, which won the 2019 CWA Dagger New Blood Award for Best First Crime Novel.
Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands. Image Stan
Scrublands stars Luke Arnold (Black Sails, Never Tear Us Apart: The Untold Story of INXS) and Bella Heathcote (The Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T, The Stan Original Film Relic) with Jay Ryan (It Chapter Two, Top of the Lake).
Scrublands takes place one year after a brutal public slaying carried out by the priest (Jay Ryan) in the isolated country town of Riversend. Investigative journalist Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold) then intends to write a feature story on the first anniversary of the murders.
But what he finds after digging around is that the story he's been told is not exactly the truth.
Quickly, the narrative presented begins to fall apart and he finds himself racing against time to uncover what really led to the events of that fateful day.

The cast also includes Zane Ciarma (Neighbours), Adam Zwar (Squinters), Victoria Thaine (Nowhere Boys), Robert Taylor (The Newsreader), Stacy Clausen (True Spirit), Genevieve Morris (Stan Original Series No Activity) and newcomer Ella Ferris.
"From the moment we opened Chris Hammer’s ripping page-turner, we knew Scrublands was destined to be a must-watch crime series," Easy Tiger Founder Ian Collie and CEO Rob Gibson said in a statement.
"In the masterful hands of director Greg McLean, writer [and] producer Felicity Packard and writers Kelsey Munro and Jock Serong, and producer David Redman, Scrublands will be an unmissable TV event for rusted-on Chris Hammer fans and everyone else alike."
The Stan Original Series Scrublands is directed by Greg McLean, written by Felicity Packard, Kelsey Munro and Jock Serong, produced by Ian Collie, Rob Gibson, David Redman, Felicity Packard with Executive Producers Michael Healy and Andy Ryan from the 9Network and Cailah Scobie and Amanda Duthie for Stan.
The Stan Original Series Scrublands is now in production.

at you with tbh eyes. hoffman headcanons please <3 or like. eric too eric is cool. the scrunglies
Hoffman:
Headcanon A: realistic —I dont think abt Hoffman A Lot(tm) but th thought that he n Rigg n Eric went thru training together is, in fact, important to me. I think before the whole Jigsaw thing he was uh. a good friend.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious — while I will admit to being an occasional Stroffman enjoyer it is only in the scenario best described as “Strahm left food on his porch long enough to build a hesitant truce with a wild animal” which manifests itself as him occasionally fucking Hoffman and learning increasingly distressing facts abt Hoffman’s life. not even related to Jigsaw, that man is just a fucking mess on all levels
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends — Hoffman knows how to cook. He does not cook. He will not cook, even if you asked him. He learned how to cook for Angelina, so he could prep her favorite meals from when they were growing up on nights where she needed to get away from Seth.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own. — idk that i have anything for this i dont think abt Hoffman enough he is just. a freak. semi-related but Rigg and Gibson and Strahm should have a group chat to cope w/ Critical Hoffman Exposure
Eric (again):
Headcanon A: realistic — once again projecting bc of how many of my own Symptoms(tm) I see in Eric. he has dermatillomania
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious — he and Adam have 100% played “who’s smoked the grossest cigarette” + Adam won. no one else understands why they do this. its an ongoing game (unfortunately, in Lawrence + Art’s opinion)
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends — its not really a headcanon it is literally what in real life happens when a person is imprisoned in solitary confinement w/out sunlight for extended periods of time but hey did you know part of Eric’s brain would’ve literally irreparably fucking shrunk? tearing John Kramer’s throat out w my teeth
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own. — ok this is kind of mashing both together but i fully think Eric transitioned later (while in training) + told Hoffman first sort of as a test. bc he like. Well Hoffman Has A Vibe. and Hoffman’s only response to “hey I’m a man and my name is Eric now” was “Okay.” and it never got mentioned again. which at first Eric was kinda like wtf bc Rigg did his best to educate himself and was supportive of him, but while it never came up beyond a fucking one-word response Mark literally never misgendered him or slipped up on his name once. Mark Hoffman Is A Fucking Enigma, And Sometimes In A Good Way

FoodPanda, "live life like a panda"
youtube
In the Philippines, there are multiple delivery food apps like FoodPanda. According to a survey conducted by Rakuten Insight (2021), it is one the most popular delivery services across the country. In this advertisement, FoodPanda ought to likened their users to a panda, particularly about the known behavior of it – as they love to chill, sleep, and “eat”. The ad specifically shows a real panda watched by an animated little “panda” of food panda. As the cute little panda watched the real one, it aspired to live a life similar to it saying “papa… panda”. The food delivery service’s quote says “live life like a panda” at the end, indicating they want their users to enjoy a relaxed and convenient lifestyle, just like a panda's behavior of chilling, sleeping, and eating. The intended audience for this ad are individuals in the Philippines as it also uses the language of the country in a friendly way to promote the service. It targets young adults who can not make food and busy individuals that lead a busy life which find food delivery services convenient for their schedules.
The ad suggests that using FoodPanda’s delivery service can help users live a life similar to that of a panda, implying it is convenient and users do not have to exert so much effort into making their own food. However, habitually using the app every single time is necessarily not good for the health of individuals (Keeble et al., 2022). A study on the nutrition quality of Partridge et al., (2020) suggests that food sold from online food delivery services can commonly be an unreliable source for a healthy and balanced diet because it is proven to be energy-dense and nutrient-poor. It may not be the best choice for the users’ dietary needs if they rely heavily on food delivery apps
It kind of showed media manipulation as they captured the attention of viewers by creating a sense of mood with the app’s theme of a cute panda and comparing it to a real panda, evoking positive emotions. Their phrase “live life like a panda��� also associates relaxed and carefree behavior of pandas as commercialized that suggests ordering food with FoodPanda will give users a similar laid-back lifestyle. However, it’s important to note that the portrayal may be exaggerated and not necessarily reflect the realities of using the app because ordering foods from food delivery service might come with different factors affecting the “convenience” of it.
