Finally got all the ducks in a row to start the process toward top surgery, but now all I can think about is, "should I use this money to try for a bi-salp instead??"

#please somebody tell me convincingly that i'm being outrageously paranoid even for the dystopian society we're living in now #I don't want to be afraid that within the next 20 years the GQP will find a way to corral everyone with a uterus for forcible insemination #but I'm legitimately afraid that any of us who don't get irreversibly surgically sterilized NOW will end up enslaved & used as incubators #like in that episode of battlestar galactica #not trek #personal log #american politics #us politics #politics #dystopia #america is being ruled by a hyperconservative minority #I've never had & pretty much never intend to have sex and yet this backwards fucking country has me worried that I might be impregnated #voluntary human extinction movement #thank you for not breeding #may we live long and die out #reproductive freedom #reproductive rights #reproductive abuse #top surgery #bilateral salpingectomy #sterilization #afab problems #nonbinary #welcome to new home aka scorched earth republican hellscape where no one but cisgender white male landowners will have any rights anymore #sorry i'm just completely saturated with despair right now totally immobilized by fear dread nausea worst-case horror/scifi scenarios etc #soul sick #jtkchu's brain #stfu jtkchu #keep thinking 'this is the writing on the wall & if I don't get sterilized NOW while I still CAN it'll be too late if things get that bad' #I no longer feel confident/secure in the belief that no matter how long I live I'll be left alone & 'allowed' to be single/childfree

#fringe #fringeedit #i feel like it's starting to lose steam and it's a good thing s05 is the last one #also the more i watch it the more i think that fringe would have benefitted a modern tighter run #they had a story to tell but 22 episodes a season required A LOT of padding #at least the characters have stayed consistent over time #(side eyeing you battlestar galactica ahem) #tv shows i watched in 2023 #i made this #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

[gorandomshesaid]

this has definitely been done before but

#bsg #battlestar galactica #saul tigh #ellen tigh #tigh me up tigh me down #i love this episode it's the comedy before everything goes more to shit and more serious #i also love the completely unintentional foreshadowing like i do appreciate RDM et al's ability #to look at what came before and do some serious asspulling to craft a satisfying narrative that almost seems planned #it's ALSO peak comedy in that we only ever see Baltar Cylon test two people and how did that work out for him #deetoo #deetoo goes crazy again

#i started rewatching bsg because i need some comfort and it is my favorite show and i havent seen it in ages #i missed these guys #my plan (not unlike the cylon plan) works like gangbusters except #except i cant help thinking how much better would it be to watch it with her #i know she would love it and it would be so much fun to experience it anew through her eyes and just talk all of it out after the episodes #why does my brain try to sabotage this #let me enjoy it in frakking peace godsdammit (extremely saul tigh voice) #bsg #battlestar galactica

The ADR in Rapture is really noticeable to the point of being distracting but I realized that may be the case because the wind is noticably worse at their location so maybe that's why their audio wasn't usable?

#I need to listen to that episode of the Galacticast to see if they discuss it there #I feel like Mark usually catches stuff like that #anyway #not their best episode but honestly despite the audio problems still a pretty wild script from Weddle/Thompson #Athena's storyline has some of the memorable moments in the show for me actually #bsg #battlestar galactica #bsg: rapture #bsg 2003

I spent all of last night ranting about Battlestar Galactica and how we could improve the ending to a buddy of mine, who was similarly enraged after we watched the finale, and let me tell you.

That's MY version of phone sex, man. More intimate, more passionate, and more deranged.

#battlestar galactica #we cut so many episodes #and were gonna start re writes later #its a good time man #he is just a friend tho #good friend #but a friend #but i feel like #if some as aroace as me were to ever fall in love #it would be in the middle of violently recapping battlestar season 4 which was a clusterfuck of awful

[alter-koker]

western movies can have a good story and ive certainly seen my fair share of excellent westerns but im always so tired of the setting, like if i see saloon doors being pushed open. im gonna lose it

#it's like wvery aspect of a western setting is so predictable it's boringggggg #i also hate when they do a western episode on a scifi show #the battlestar galactica one . god. how did they even get the old west into space

my birds are watching the Scooby and scrappy show and how did this get five seasons and not Scooby Doo where are you

#I know that technically the new Scooby-Doo show is the third season of Scooby-Doo where are you but that's still only three seasons!! #I want answers Hanna Barbara #also I don't hate Scrappy yet but we're only about three episodes in #I'm losing my mind because his voice actor sounds different to me than it did when I was a child but like only vaguely different #like how the Battlestar Galactica theme song changes keys about halfway through season 2 and they try to think you won't notice #also who the fuck is scrappy's mom who is he related to how is he a doo #I'm going to look it up BRB

things that occurred as i am pondering 'percussive maintenance':

...poor sam, stuck being the awkwardest fifth wheel in the universe for two thousand years lol.

#bsg #battlestar galactica #like honestly all three of them had to deal with saul and ellen being saul and ellen that whole time #but galen and tory at least were engaged to each other #and sam is just...sam #((also semi-related but i'm...not 100% sure that d'anna is a collective name for the threes?)) #((meaning like ex. sharon for the eights or doral for the fours or simon for the fives)) #((i know there's a line referring to the three from s3 as “the one who calls herself d'anna”)) #((which is a whole mess of confusion because--is she the same as final cut!d'anna?)) #((is she the same as downloaded!three?)) #((are all three of these threes the same three????)) #((i know there's...either a deleted scene or was intended to be a scene with fleet!d'anna and gina during downloaded)) #((but since that didn't make it into the final version of the episode does it count lol)) #((i mean generally i go with whatever is most interesting for whatever fic/rp/self-indulgent bs i'm playing with)) #((but these are the things i legit wonder about at 4am)) #anyway i might write this for gbb next year if i decide to participate as a writer instead of just running it #either this or the blood of angry men/zarek character study #since the other battlestar is Way out of scope #and everything else i have floating in my head is either similarly out of scope or a crossover or both #((and yes crossovers are allowed but eh))

[mozart-the-meerkitten]

Low-key losing my mind at how good the Battlestar Galactica characters are with kids. It’s like a requirement for the main characters.

Like, Apollo has Boxy, who is his kid by marriage/adoption and literally right after he married Boxy’s mother she died. You wouldn’t even know it, you would think this man had raised this little boy from infancy. He’s such a sweet dad, he loves his son SO MUCH. He’s very genuine and in tune with Boxy and understands and validates his son’s feelings. He gets frustrated with his kid sometimes but I don’t think he’s ever actually like, yelled and gotten angry at him. When he met his wife she told him he “seemed good with children” based on a 10 second interaction he’d had with Boxy. He’s one of those people who automatically knows how to talk to children, by not talking down to them like they’re stupid, but explaining things to them in ways they understand. When he meets a little boy and his single mom when he emergency lands on a planet he does the exact same thing and actually helps the kid grow up a little and understand his mom a bit better.

You would not look at Starbuck and think this man would be good with kids but wow he is. Like, yeah, he flirts with almost every woman he meets but I’m 99% sure that if he ever actually got one pregnant he’d drop everything to raise that kid. When Apollo was MIA and they didn’t want to worry Boxy, Starbuck, on the fly, told Boxy that his dad said he was going to be longer than expected but he wanted Boxy to spend the night with the Blue Squadron pilots. He sets up a whole card game with fruit juice instead of beer and jellybeans as bets to give the kid the full experience. He crash-landed on a planet and was rescued by a gang of kids who were trying to rescue their father from cylons by doing hit-and-run attacks. He doesn’t belittle them, or talk down to them (once he understands what’s going on) he just tries to advise them. When the leader of the siblings (a boy about 15) realizes that if he hadn’t listened to Starbuck he’d have made a horrible mistake, he relinquishes command to Starbuck, who agrees on the condition that the kid be his lieutenant. He leads the kids to rescue their dad and teaches them the plan to storm the castle THROUGH SONG. He MADE UP A SONG and taught it to them so, in the words of my mom “all the kids would know what was going on the whole time”. And that’s just SO SMART because that’s how kids LEARN.

And Boomer over here has just learned to roll with his friend’s shenanigans so hard that he totally went along with the aforementioned scenario with Starbuck and Boxy. Like, he went as far as to cue other pilots while Boxy was around so that they kept the atmosphere light for the kid. Also his voice gets so much softer when he’s talking to Boxy and I die.

And ADAMA, the commander of the fleet, who, when his little grandson Boxy comes up to him late one night on the bridge and tells him he can’t sleep, lets the kid climb up on his lap like, “You know, when your father was little and couldn’t sleep I’d tell him stories. Do you want me to tell you a story?” and then he just tells Boxy a bedtime story right then and there on the bridge of the Galactica. I MELT.

Cassiopeia moms Boxy sometimes too and it’s very cute. Back to that time Starbuck set it up so Boxy could stay with Blue Squadron, their card game was interrupted by Cassie showing up and yelling at them about teaching the six-year-old how to gamble and smoke (Boxy did not have a cigar xD) and drink (again, fruit juice). The boys indignantly defended themselves against these claims and added about the card game, “And (Boxy’s) winning!” Cassie gets through yelling at the boys and turns to Boxy with the softest voice, “you can come back once you’re ready for bed-” *turns and glares at the boys* “and they RECIRCULATE THE AIR IN HERE!” xDD

Also, I’d like to point out that all but one of these characters are men and I think that’s fantastic. Showing that the best of the best warriors in the fleet and the Commander himself can be so soft and gentle with children is just, it makes my heart happy. It’s such a needed message- that you can be brave and strong and fight for your home and your people but also be kind and compassionate and loving. They’re just such well done characters and I love them so much. ;-;

#battlestar galactica #original battlestar galactica #apollo #starbuck #boomer #commander adama #cassiopeia #boxy #everyone's interactions with boxy are the most wholesome things #they love this little kid SO MUCH #he is the galactica's kid #also he's written LIKE A KID and I love that too I might talk about that later #apollo tells his wife he's good with kids because he had a kid brother (who died in the pilot episode ;-;) #and tbh I think that's why starbuck is good with kids too I think he was at apollo's house a lot as a kid #so they both grew up with a kid 6-10 years younger than them running around and APPARENTLY learned a lot from it #anyway this is like the most wholesome thing about this show I LOVE it #battlestar deserved more than one season it was SO GOOD #so happy I own it now

My girlfriend has been showing me Battlestar Galactica and I've decided there should've been an episode where they find a dormant centurion and they reprogram it or whatever and teach it to do drugs. Now his name is FR4NC1S and he sounds like a speak and spell and he's wandering around on all these spaceships like "INTERROGATIVE: DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY SMOKES"
