#talking into the void

[sweet-bazzle-bean]

I’ve been having a hard time coming to terms with how upset I am about Hank Green having cancer and whether the depth of my feelings for a person I’ve never met is appropriate or healthy. And then today I remembered the lengths that John and Hank went to show their care and appreciation for Esther when she was fighting cancer and how they are still celebrating Esther day over a decade after she passed away - a day where Nerdfighteria celebrates all kinds of love, even when that love takes a less traditional form. 

Anyways, it made me feel better remembering they love us too. Donate to This Star Won’t Go Out if you can and send Hank some pelican pics. Or just tell someone you love them.

just came back inside after watching the total eclipse and yeah. I can get why that would be terrifying if you weren't expecting it/didn't know what was going on. the light dims gradually for about an hour, barely noticeable until like 3/4 of the sun is covered. it's too bright to look at the sun to figure out what's going on with it. then all of the sudden the light starts dimming at an alarming rate, the temperature drops like 20 degrees, the shadows start streaming across the ground like water. it looks like the tail-end of twilight, about to descend into night, but without any of the accompanying changes in humidity, shadow length, or light wavelength, creating a strange, liminal feeling. a bunch of animals are freaking out. you look up at the sky and see that the sun has been replaced by a gaping black hole surrounded by a ring of white fire. this lasts a few minutes before it becomes too bright to look at again and another hour or two before daylight resumes completely as normal.

it would be hard to go back to your day after that, I imagine

Violent over the fact THIS fucking thing is helping me realize Gender

Like. Yeah. Okay. Okay

I’m sorry it’s been a minute since I posted a ST fic guys… just with the way the fandom has been I truly haven’t felt inspired to write for Eddie or Steve lately. It actually makes me very sad, but I think I just need a little break from writing about them… It’s not forever and I’m definitely still going to post ST stuff, and reblog fics. But I understand if you unfollow me because you don’t wanna see stuff for other fandoms, that’s totally fair.

anyway coming back with more secret life thoughts that I'll try to actually put together

because there is something so right about Grian being the one to hear ghosts

and at the same time Grian hearing Jimmy makes it so much more painful if you want to take it the angsty lore way (the only worse option would be if he was hearing Mumbo, but that might have been too much for him, don't you think?)

it feels like a kind of task that would be targeted at Grian

and it feels right to be Jimmy, too. he says, at the beginning, that the ghosts watch the downfall of everyone. and this time Jimmy - the person who up till this game was out first - finally has a way to influence the late game events

#secret life spoilers #secret life #talking into the void #and if you want #you can also go the way that he only HEARS Jimmy #but can't see him in any way #even the list of players doesn't show him

Every time I get kudos on an old fic on ao3 my reaction is less what were you doing at the devils sacrament? and more how did you even find the devils sacrament? this place is so old and poorly tagged I’m surprised anyone remembers it exists

#talking into the void #ao3 kudos #most of my stuff is original super hero prompt fills so like how the heck did you even find that oneshot #my one popular fic is cutesy kidfic so like that makes sense #but the original work stuff? how did you even find that on the archive (genuinely curious)

So. I know we think about the horrors of Danny's body actively rotting while he still inhabits it, stuff like that. What about bugs? Maggots, blowflies, practically anything that gets drawn to a decaying corpse. That can be there, if its a separate, mutilated body, slowly losing it's form, or his actual body, infested with insects. Too many corpse aus have intact corpses.

Just some of my favorite sincere lines from the crew

When Fang tells Lucius that no one has taken an interest in his form before and he replies by saying “Then you’ve never met anyone worth a damn”

When Oluwande repeats “La vida es dolor” in that voice after he tells Nana that Jim is gone

Frenchie telling Stede that “In my experience, these things are meant  to make you feel like a bit of a jackass” quickly followed by how seriously he asks Ed, “What’d they do to you man”

Black Pete absolutely glowing post-kiss and saying “There’s a lot you don’t know about me” with that little head wobble

Every single thing that happens in the scene where they make Oluwande Captain, but most particularly when the Swede says so seriously and sweetly - “It’s you”

#talking into the void #honestly the hardest I cried watching this show was when they made Olu captain #They all just love each other so much #I love each and every one of them #ofmd #Lucius Spriggs #Lucius #Frenchie #Oluwande #Black Pete #the Swede #Swede

doing some work on the order-66-never-happened au (calling it the "happy ending au" feels like a bit of a stretch at this point bc. reasons) and trying to come up with what cody would wear as a civilian. decided it was probably the star wars equivalent of flannels, jeans, and hiking/cowboy boots. realized that this is probably something strikingly similar to jedi robes. cried. still don't know what rex is going to pick even though i'm writing a shopping trip scene with him and ahsoka.

i think of the biggest reasons i like the director's cut better is the extra dialog we get with donnie and his parents.

the convo with his dad telling him he should always talk about his experiences even if others think hes crazy

his mom saying its vreat to have a wacko for a son

and then him gaining clarity as he writes his letter to roberta sparrow and then tells his mom there's nothing broken in his brain

a n d the extra scene of his therapist telling him his pills are placebos???

these are small details that have big impact

#donnie darko #talking into the void #like also can we talk about her giving a patient she thinks is a paranoid schizophrenic PLACEBOS

[ancient-little-fern]

okay one more thought because I really need to sleep BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT

the whole interaction about Bdubs wanting to kill Scar and Etho and Grian encouraging him

I watched it from Etho's pov and all was normal (maybe something felt slightly off but nothing too much)

then came the Grian pov

and let me tell you

Jimmy being the one to make him agree was a lot

but than. the little comment.

see, that wasn't that hard

fight club, chuck palahniuk

10/10

about men being angry and hurt and gay and delusional and tired and destructive and hurtful and upset and lost etc etc and also about society. or wtv.

watched the movie before reading the book and i honestly really wish i hadnt. book was better and i think i wouldve enjoyed the ending more had i read the book first. also i think the type of story that it is is better relayed through writing.

amazing writing style, dialogue was great and i loved reading all the narrator’s thoughts. so many lines were so incredibly well written, but not at all in an over-the-top or pretentious way. i cared a lot about the characters and the plot never got boring. would very much recommend

I really need to reread Ranma 1/2 because I just saw someone describe Ranma as genderfluid and like yeah I guess you can describe him that way but honestly what Ranma has got going on has nothing to do with gender. He changes sexes with a splash of water, parts and all, but he literally spends the series advocating that just because he has female anatomy that doesn’t make him less of a man. If anything Ranma’s gender is fluid between cis man and trans man who has a lot of internalized misogyny he spends getting beat out of him in various ways and wacky scenarios. Is he fluid? I guess but I’m not sure I’d ever consider him a cis or trans woman at any point in the manga (there’s probably an amnesia arc where she doesn’t realize she’s not afab?). Does he use she/her pronouns? Yeah but mostly to further schemes where she has to be a girl.

#talking into the void #ranma 1/2 #I love Ranma so much it ended up being so important to my early fandom experiences #I would not call this animanga good queer rep #I’d consider it accidental queer rep that I don’t know if it holds up and I’m honestly a little scared to find out
