sun also wants to murder you

sorry in advance if this is obvious to people who are not me, but i decided to reread solar lunacy and i noticed a couple of funky lil details that point to sun absolutely also having murdery-virus thoughts like moon towards y/n. he’s just better at hiding/controlling them ig.  anyway, this is the little set of lines (near the end of chapter 7) that got me thonkin.

‘restraint isn’t effortless’ oh really? mr. sun sir, are you implying that you, not just moon, also are a bit murdery? now, you could interpret this as ‘sun is speaking on moon’s behalf’, and ye that makes since, & that’s how i read this scene at first too. buuuuuuuuut, maybe sun is a bit murdery. so i decided to look around a bit and oh hey look at this (chapter 9 crumb)

‘Fingers curl in and out like a habit’ hmmmmmm, i’m sure that sun is thinking about stress balls or something, nothing to worry about

(from bamsara, the og post was reblogged, should be right before this one)

man’s really out here pretending to choke y/n huh. how rude. but also, another note here, it says he’s doing it ‘like a habit’, which probably means he’s done this multiple times.  now, those two are definitely the most concrete bits i found, but i had another (relatively baseless) thought. so, if flexing robot hands is definitely dangerous, maybe fidgeting robot hands is also alarming. It could be that any repetitive hand motion is the dca’s way of dealing with intrusive violent virus thoughts. And lemme tell you, sun’s hands do an awful lot of fidgeting when he angy. examples include, this middle of chapter 8 bit (Sticker scratching)

this chapter 6 bit (Fingers clacking against each other)

Also, wanna call out the ‘maybe it’s not just the requirement to be quiet that’s making him jitter’ line, which, i dunno about you, but to me seems to imply that maybe it’s the funky sneky murder virus causing the hand fidgets Anyway, another fidgety bit from chapter 6 (Spinning the pen)

this bit from chapter 5, where sun is definitely thinking violent thoughts, but towards monty (Tapping his mask)

conclusion: hand fidgets in general from dca are their way of dealing with murder virus. sun, while seeming like safer side of the dca, also has violent murder virus thoughts and is dangerous. we just haven’t seen him do the dangerous things yet

“every piece of art inherently has political implications” and “once you put art into the world you are no longer in control of how people perceive it” are statements that can and should coexist btw

So episode 3 is called Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb because of the battle that happens outside the ruins of the Slaughtered Lamb. Obviously. But we’ve also just found out that Willow has predicted Elora having to sacrifice herself to save their world. A sacrificial lamb if you will. If the final episode of the series is also called this I will scream

alright this is VERY obvious but is noticable Cash is pretty strong, the executions he is able to do with the many weapons in the game, he is able to carry a body (kinda) normally without too much trouble, and i know this is more of the game itself but doesnt get tired of running that easy, and adding also to his resistence, he can get up pretty quickly when being literally beat up, that scene where the Cerberus beat him up (and obviously very badly) show this, a normal person would definitely have injuries that even can incapacitate them, another scene where he is beat up is with Ramirez, another dude who is strong and he shows his experience, but Cash is able to get up. So yeah thats is, i would tell why i think Cash is that strong but that is for another moment.

ppl of tumblr:

(to clarify: if youre like say "girl but with wiggly hand gesture" but 100% sure of that that would be "yea i got it 👍", vagueness of gender itself/descriptors are not whats being asked for here, just like how much u feel Certain about it. also, should be obvious but cis ppl feel free to vote, whether cis or "cis" or "...cis?")

if u feel like it: put your gender plus sureness, how you feel about your personal level of sureness, and your favorite bug in the tags

reblog to see the lil button turn green which is a nice color

On the subject of the Titanic ‘submersible’ that was lost in the deep with all its wealthy tourists— it’s so insane/eerie in hindsight to read this article from the Smithsonian that interviews the CEO Stockton Rush long before the disaster.

Despite the Smithsonian supposedly being an organization that cares about science and truth, and the fact that there were SO MANY obvious red flags from the beginning and so many people criticizing the company…..the article is a puff piece uncritically glorifying the CEO’s obviously terrible submersible project. It compares him in glowing terms to Elon Musk. It is an article about how private ventures like those of Stockton Rush and Elon Musk can and should be the future of the world.

We’ve obviously learned now that there were whistleblowers at the company who were warning for a long time that Stockton Rush’s submersible was unsafe— only to be fired and then sued. It makes sense the submersible was so unsafe, because the CEO in this interview is open about how he has no background in underwater engineering and is annoyed by quote “regulations that needlessly prioritize passenger safety.”

Soon after, the private [submersible] market died too, Rush found, for two reasons that were “understandable but illogical.” First, subs gained a reputation for danger. Working on offshore rigs in harsh locations like the North Sea, saturation divers, who breathe gas mixtures to avoid diving sicknesses, would be taken in subs to work at great depths. It was the world’s most perilous job, with frequent fatalities. (“It wasn’t the sub’s fault,” says Rush.) To save lives, the industries moved toward using underwater robots to perform the same work.

Second, tourist subs, which could once be skippered by anyone with a U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license, were regulated by the Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993, which imposed rigorous new manufacturing and inspection requirements and prohibited dives below 150 feet. The law was well-meaning, Rush says, but he believes it needlessly prioritized passenger safety over commercial innovation (a position a less adventurous submariner might find open to debate). “There hasn’t been an injury in the commercial sub industry in over 35 years. It’s obscenely safe, because they have all these regulations. But it also hasn’t innovated or grown—because they have all these regulations.”

The fact that Stockton Rush (who was piloting the submarine when the disaster happened) is on record complaining about the evils of regulations that prioritize people’s safety, and the Smithsonian uncritically regurgitated that rhetoric in their glowing puff piece about how rich tycoons like Elon Musk and Stockton Rush are going to save the world is just…..in hindsight of how everything ended it’s just so much horrible black comedy? It’s like a satire about the dangers of uncritically worshipping the rich.

It is mentioned in the article that Rush chose to make his submersible in a different shape, and with a different (cheaper) material than is usually used for submersibles. The article frames this as a result of daring innovation, and not of negligence/ignorance. This passage in particular, which in context is supposed to portray Rush’s critics as joyless naysayers who were proven wrong by the noble tycoon, is pretty foreboding in hindsight:

Rush planned to pilot the sub himself, which critics said was an unnecessary risk: Under pressure, the experimental carbon fiber hull might, in the jargon of the sub world, “collapse catastrophically.”

And then!!

The exact problem that happened to Titan this weekend, happened on Titan’s very first test voyage to the Titanic! The experimental carbon fiber hull had an issue and it caused communications to break down!

The dive was going according to plan until about 10,000 feet, when the descent unexpectedly halted, possibly, Rush says, because the density of the salt water added extra buoyancy to the carbon fiber hull. He now used thrusters to drive Titan deeper, which interfered with the communications system, and he lost contact with the support crew. He recalls the next hour in hallucinogenic terms. “It was like being on the Starship Enterprise,” he says. “There were these particles going by, like stars. Every so often a jellyfish would go whipping by. It was the childhood dream.”

Both Rush and the article writer treat this as a fun quirky story, instead of a serious safety failure and red flag with his experimental macgyvered regulation-flaunting submersible.

Other highlights from the article include:

Stockton rush saying that if 3/4 of the planet is water, why haven’t we monetized it?

Stockton saying we will “colonize the ocean long before we colonize space”

Lots of weird pro colonialism stuff in general??? This article loves colonialism and thinks it’s cool

Rush saying he plans for this to eventually help find more underwater resources for the US to exploit and profit from

Elon musk comparisons. The article writer does not mention that Elon Musk’s rockets explode and therefore it would be a bad idea to get in one of them, because that would imply it’s a bad idea to get into the submersible

Stockton rush seeing himself as Captain Kirk

The article writer comparing the tourists who plan to join Rush to Englishmen who went on colonialist journeys to Africa as if that’s like, a good thing. So much pro colonialism stuff in this article

So many sentences about Stockton Rush being handsome when he literally just looks like some guy

The article beginning with an editor’s note from years later disclaiming that the extraordinary submersible they’re advertising in this article is uh. It’s now uhhhh

But yeah it really does just bring home how so many organizations that supposedly care about scientific truth or journalistic integrity are willing to uncritically platform propaganda for wealthy CEOS. It’s frustrating how easily people fall for the fake myths that careless wealthy people invent for themselves, and even more frustrating that supposedly respectable institutions will platform irresponsible lies that end up getting people killed.

Rush is such an obvious and simple example of this, and his negligence is “only” killing five people including himself. But to me it feels like a cautionary tale to bear in mind when it comes to uncritical puff piece media coverage of similar “daring tycoon innovations” by people like Bezos or Musk.

thinking about wolfwood (ID in alt text)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #from awhile ago! i forgot to upload it here i think #i realized looking back at this. wolfwood has shrunk even more. DFGMKSGMS im sorry everyone has to bear with that. short woowoo #is engrained into my bones.... but anyway. im a big fan of vash yearning if that was not obvious from my previous comics. #not to say wolfwood doesnt do the same ofc... but im just thinking about vash's layers of repression in emotions and how he holds it #all together for the most part.... and when he yearns it's not like a dopey lovesick smile or anything. his cheeks are red but he's all “:( #bc he's Shy about it. and troubled by how much he's thinking about ww. but he can't help it and even less so when ww is right there #it's a very honest expression from someone like vash i think. and wolfwood can start to tell when he's faced with it and in turn #also gets embarrassed . silly the both of them #ruporas art
