WIP Wednesday
Thank you @daisymae-12 and @affectionatelyrs for the tags!
I have this sci-fi actors au for Alex and Henry that has slowly begun to form into something coherent in my mind. I’m still in the outlining/planning phase, but below is a passage which is some internal monologue for Alex and also serves as exposition for the plot. Putting it under a cut since it’s a little long.
There’s a moment in the movie where, after a near-death experience, Dev gives Qindeli a massive bear hug, lifting him off the ground, and the whole thing has been slowed down and gif-ed and over analyzed within an inch of its life. Specifically it’s Qindeli’s facial expression as Dev’s arms wrap around him, which contains ‘the most obvs gay panic ever’ per the fans. The scene is a favorite of the shippers and one of their many points of proof that the characters harbor deeper feelings for each other. There’s even some really well made fanart of an alternate ending to the scene, one where Qindeli spins around inside the hug and plants a kiss on Dev’s mouth.
However, having actually been one of the actors on set, Alex knows none of what people read into that moment was intended, that there was no direction given by Raf to Henry for his character to have some subtle, decodable reaction to the hug. The truth behind the facial expression is obviously something simpler, that it was Henry the actor—not Qindeli the character—who was reacting; that it was Henry trying to conceal his distaste of having Alex’s arm wrapped around him instead of some hidden clue towards Qindeli’s true feelings.
Alex doesn’t fault the shippers though, he understands the desire for more queer representation, particularly in genre movies. And if people feel a deep connection between the characters then that just means they did their jobs well as actors, especially with how unconnected he and Henry remained off-set throughout filming. Plus, given Raf’s cinematic history, it’s not a stretch to bet against both lead characters in one of his films being straight. So, it shouldn’t have been that big of a surprise for Alex when he received the script for the sequel and discovered that ‘qindev’ is, in fact, going canon. And it wasn’t that big of a surprise, really, it’s just… now he has to fucking stage-kiss Henry.

Websites with top [insert genre of fiction] animes are the worst because they will just add anything.
Mob psycho is NOT a sci-fi show like come on man, be for real. Having powers and ONE joke UFO episode doesnt make it a 'science-fiction' story, come on.

Last week I saw “Alien Worlds” (2020) sic-fi
I watched this on an airplane and yep, it did what i wanted it to which was distract me for 5 and a half hours.
It was fine. The show discusses evolutionary strategies developed by creatures on earth and applies them to an alien planet. It does well as an educational tool, and it’s something i probably would have liked a lot when I was a kid, but as an adult I already knew about most of the stuff they talked about, and I didn’t find the worlds they explored believable or interesting.
5/10
