Frank, I'm briefly snapping from my tumblr break to say you have been the best and weirdest stepdaughter anyone could ever have asked for. Thank you. I love you.

Thank you. <3

(If you would like to tell me how this post made you feel, I will give you up to $1000 cash. Here's a website about it.)

I’m making an original!Doctor in Hero Forge (don’t @ me I came up with some great companion concepts and they need someone to drive the box) and I just got to the accessories. There’s an accordion.

She wants to play the accordion so bad.

No, original!Doctor, you have a magpie number of things attached to you already, you do not need an accordion.

idk fuck it. cait/fahrenheit draft. do you ever disassociate so bad you can only remember things in third person. canon-typical warnings for cait's addiction (non-specific, hopefully i did a kinder job than the game)

It was just a fucking-hell-we’re-alive kiss. It didn’t mean anything. 

Cait had been kissed within an inch of her life after escaping a gas explosion in a Super-Duper Mart by lots of girls. She never thought about them two weeks later, when she was supposed to be covering Mac’s scrawny ass as he looted a pharmacy. 

The scrawny ass in question was throwing itself against a second-floor supply closet until she shouldered him out of the way and wrenched it open. The closet contained the usual litter of crumbling Abraxo boxes, rusty tools, decaying mops, and shattered plastic buckets. The exciting thing was the safe, encrusted with rust and some mystifying barnacles. “Where’s that gun oil you always have?” 

Mac didn’t take the bait. She dumped the entire standard, completely normal little tube into the lock with only minor background grumbling about how the replacement would come out of her share. She halfheartedly poked at the worst of the rust, thinking about absolutely nothing. 

It was like it had happened to someone else. She could replay it in her brain from a weird top-down view, like a bad trip of Daddy-O.

There was absolutely no evidence that Bobbi No-Nose had ever used the Super Duper Mart as a base of operations, or that anyone had been through in the last ten years. There were a hell of a lot of ferals and a gas leak behind the lunch counter. After they tumbled out onto the loading dock, not even a little bit on fire, miraculously un-shrapneled, Fahrenheit had laughed with the raw joy of not getting eating by ferals or dying in a gas explosion, put the flamer down very gently, and grabbed Cait by her vest straps. 

Without really thinking about it, Cait had dropped her chin, right hand to Fahrenheit’s right wrist, knee to Fahrenheit’s gut, left palm to Fahrenheit’s chin–

“How long does that oil need to sit in there?” 

“As long as it needs to get used to the idea of getting nice and relaxed and open before I get my fingers in there.” She maintained the leer until Mac stomped back downstairs and didn’t pick up a bobby pin until he was all the way at the front of the pharmacy.

She’d spun Fahrenheit away and pinned her against the hood of a Chryslus tipped down over a retaining wall, almost standing on its nose. She hadn’t noticed the skeleton spilling out of the cockpit until much later, because while she was trying to pin Fahrenheit’s wrists she’d been kissed. 

It was not, objectively, a very good kiss. The little action figure of Cait in her memory been on guard against the wrong thing, ducked her chin a little to protect it, hadn’t thought about where a flimsy pre-War canister of Jet had cracked in her mouth earlier. Fahrenheit’s eyetooth opened Cait’s lip. Their teeth clacked. Cait gasped and bit her on purpose instead of moaning. 

Fahrenheit’s eyes were gray, the pupils rimmed with gold. “You like your fun a little rough, huh? Not surprised.” 

Mac leaned over her and dropped a handful of bobby pins on top of the safe. 

“If you don’t fuck off I’ll shove this screwdriver up your skinny–” 

“Geez! I’m just helping!” He dodged her ineffectual stab. A flatblade wouldn’t really do much damage, something properly triangular and proprietarily Chryslus would really ruin his day. Shame the pharmacy didn’t carry them.

She’d been so startled by the kiss she’d dropped Fahrenheit’s wrists. Fahrenheit could have stabbed her or done any number of things, but instead she got an ankle around Cait’s and flipped them. 

Cait had said something admittedly bratty about being taken for a ride and braced herself against the car. It only creaked a little. She’d widened her stance, still ready to trip Fahrenheit. This was probably when she’d acquired the long scrape across her lower back.

Fahrenheit had promptly shoved closer, hiking a boot up on the bumper and leaning hard against Cait’s knee. “Are you always such a brat, or is this a special occasion?” She’d still been bleeding from Cait’s bite. 

Cait had said something about what kind of person doesn’t count getting rescued from a burning building as a special occasion. Cait had not planned on paying her back so soon and licked the blood off her own lip to buy time, watching Fahrenheit watch her. 

“Promises, promises,” Fahrenheit had taken her glove off the fast way, with her teeth. She’d been practically sitting on Cait’s knee, pinning her to the car by the hip and petting along the little strip of skin between vest and belt. Cait found that she didn’t particularly want to go anywhere anyway. 

Fahrenheit gave her… from Cait’s memory it looked like a proper movie kiss, if girls ever kissed in pre-War movies. The sense-memory involved more teeth. Cait had revised her opinion of Fahrenheit’s weird knee armor. 

She’d cracked her head on the dashboard when Fahrenheit let her up for air. She’d picked her head back up to see if she could get kissed again and noticed (less important) the skeleton spilling out of the Chryslus’ cockpit and (more important) the feral crawling over the retaining wall. The order in which she cracked a joke about how they were even now, shot the ghoul, lost the lovely friction of Fahrenheit’s knee, and pulled Fahrenheit’s pistol escaped her. 

The trip back to Goodneighbor was a series of running skirmishes, and they said what they needed to say to survive.

Cait found herself staring at an empty safe.

She looked up to yell for Mac and found him leaning over her again. He’d put a whole crate of Psycho down behind her and she hadn’t even noticed.

“Welcome back! Almost thought you forgot about me.”

“Shut your goddamn mouth, MacCready.”

“C’mon, let’s divvy these up. We can sleep in real beds tonight and you can get that scrape on your back looked at.” 

-

Doctor Amari bent Cait over a gurney in a very unsexy way. “I’m so happy I gave you that tetanus shot when you weren’t paying attention last time.” Before Nate had vanished, he’d dropped her off in Goodneighbor with a concussion and fucked off somewhere only God and Valentine knew. 

Cait and MacCready and Valentine supervising had looted the shit out of Nate’s two Diamond City houses, couriering some money out to Preston in a fit of guilt and Valentine’s disapproval. There had been no need to step outside, let alone trek over to Goodneighbor for a solid month until the Jet ran out and she had to look for dishonest employment again.

Amari poked the perfect thumbprint on her hip with a frown. “Mac not treating you right, Cait?” 

Cait barked out a rusty laugh despite herself. “Wasn’t him. That jumped-up little idiot can barely keep body and soul together.” 

“Well, these antibiotics shouldn’t interfere with your birth control, but you are on your way to a nasty infection. Please try to rest up, and I mean really rest up for at least a few days.” 

The entire day left Cait so grouchy she went through most of her share of Psycho inside a week instead of selling it, and couldn’t turn Mac down when he brought her another job for two people.

Probably the biggest culture shock for me when I got into metal was that all the bands wrote their own songs. This was such a new phenomenon to me. When I was 11 and discovered a-ha, who became my favourite band right away (not difficult, because I hadn’t had one since I had ‘outgrown’ the Spice Girls at about the time I graduated elementary school), I was extremely proud of the fact that they wrote their songs themselves, because I saw it as an anomaly - and it kind of is in pop, especially with teen-oriented groups. Then I started to get into metal with HIM, Hammerfall, and Nightwish, and I was really pleasantly surprised that it was so normal there for bands to write their songs themselves.

I see the same pride I felt in a-ha back at age 11 in fans of Taylor Swift or BTS today - this feeling that you’re following an artist, not just some pretty face with a nice voice who gets mass-produced hits written for them, probably with a money-back guarantee by the writer to the record company. And I’m not knocking that pride in pop fans, just like I’m not writing this to make fun of my past self. It just proves that, despite all cultural cynicism about art-related "industries”, a sense of authenticity and self-expression matters to a lot of people. The fact that some people, newspapers and magazines even, see it as worth debating how much songwriting Taylor Swift really does proves that artistic intention is not just a tiny insignificant detail. The fact that people who are really into films, not just casual watchers, care more who directed a film than who starred in it points in the same direction. It’s not just about the immediate sensory experience.

And I just randomly thought about that in the shower today, but then I realized that it also relates to AI art and how I feel about it. One (much derided!) argument against AI art is that it’s ‘soulless’. Supposedly a silly, romantic thing to be bothered by. But I don’t agree. Why shouldn’t intention and ‘soul’ matter? I think it’s only natural, especially for people who connect more strongly with art, to care about this.

And sure, there are a lot of caveats. The matter of artistic intention is thorny. Ultimately the intentions of the artist are unknowable because art doesn’t communicate them perfectly. Fake meaning can be generated, artists can lie about what their intentions were - the marketing teams behind more money-intense artistic projects can do so even more efficiently - and I think viewers/listeners/readers by default read things into the content that the artist never intended. But I don’t think it’s silly to see it as a negative if you’re 100% sure that there’s absolutely nothing behind art, considering that we (or some of us at least) do care about the backstory of art when the artist is human. Human art gets criticized for being ‘soulless’ oftentimes too, sometimes unjustly, and it’s a pretty damning thing to say.

And perhaps the fact that we can’t be sure whether a human artist is being honest about their intentions is an aberration anyway that is brought about by mass society. For the first 95% of human history, nearly every artist whose work we encountered was someone we knew in person, and we would interpret their art as an expression of their personality and their relationship to the people around them, including us. It was supposed to mean something to us and to communicate something. Subcultures do an imperfect job of simulating this environment among people who don’t really know each other. If the archetypal art experience is painting the day’s hunt on a cave wall with your cousins, seeing a stranger’s art in a museum or on the internet is far from that. But there can still be meaning in it, and I think we should allow ourselves to care about that.

that miserable feeling you get when someone you respected has become an ARA who uses the phrase "farmed animals" to refer to literally all farm animals-- all of them-- and insists that wool and honey are cruel

for my health and sanity i will be blocking anyone who tries to argue ARA talking points with me.

can i just say it's so funny to me that villeneuve is planning on doing dune messiah and just stopping because it means most people probably won't ever watch Worm Wars (the rest of the books) like they straight up just won't ever know about it. you and I will know because we are Worm Freaks but the extent of the general populace's knowledge is gonna be "timothee chalamet colonizes a planet"

#although i guess he kind of does that in real life #we will never see horrifying worm beast #reblog for worm beast #it would be just as funny if he continued tho because herbert just completely overhauls the cast in every book after messiah #??? < people who watched the first one and don't know who the fuck darwi odrade is #dune #dune part two #frank herbert #sci fi #dune part 2 #dune 2 #dune movie #rip my tennis followers who dgaf about this

No offense to anyone and everyone, but I think my problem with all this LS Dunes content is that it’s ONLY focused on Frank (and I’m saying this as a Frank person). Can we please talk about how Anthony’s vocals are amazing live? Can we please talk about how Tucker is killing it on the drums? Like, it is not just one person. 

#personal #Like gonna reblog it because Frank content because that's what people want to see I guess but you know... #This is gonna get me torn to shreds but I don't care. I don't even listen to them because I just can't get into them but yeah...

I just had to read this in the notes of a political (calling to vote - for Biden) post, so you all (especially WHITE AMERICANS) get to read it, too: "Genocide at home or genocide abroad, take your pick"

Excuse me?

Yes, hi. Hold the fucking phone. Excuse me?

Have you all ever read a whiter/more privileged sentence in your life?

'Genocide at home' - do you know what has been happening to Indigenous and Black Americans for literally hundreds of years? Have you ever heard of forced sterilization? Do you know that it has happened to countless Black and Indigenous Americans (and Black and Indigenous people in Canada), specifically? Are you aware of the historic act by the state of removing Indigenous children from their families and communities and placing them with non-Indigenous families (arguably an offshoot/continuation of the government policy of "Kill the Indian, save the man"), or the fact that the U.S. foster care system overwhelmingly separates Black children from their parents? The sources I provided/linked to here were found via literally the most basic of Google searches, by the way.

The point is that 'genocide at home' has already been happening for hundreds of years, and we can, and should, protest that at every turn - even through voting, or choosing not to vote (because a vote, no matter how "harm reduction" it's supposed to be, is and always will be an endorsement of the state. And the state, of course, upholds and maintains these conditions at home as much as they do imperialistically, too). The point of the protest vote - only as a starting point and NEVER as a single/final action - is to acknowledge that we will not accept genocide anywhere, and we do not endorse the state's violent enforcement of oppression or its goals.

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #let me know if I should turn reblogs on (I'm sorry that I'm a coward) #I just get so fucking pissed off at these 'vote blue no matter who' people who are in my opinion beyond imagination. #at what point does 'the revolution' become real to you? #because to be frank I do not think that it starts or ends with a vote. #and I don't have a particular source for that thought off the top of my head but I think most other countries beyond the U.S. would agree. #also I just need to add FUCK COLONIALISM because it's relevant. #I included the links about the forced sterilization in Canada because I've known about it for years and figured if people don't know #that that is a thing that is happening in other colonial states then it's best that you know. well-rounded knowledge and all that.

so I found a song where a charming not-quite-human man in green velvet convinces a young woman to run away with him in his magic ship that can show her the world in one night. the folk-and-folk-adjacent eight/charley playlist is almost too easy
