Chandrayaan-3.

India has become the first country to land at the lunar south pole, and we consider this very cool space news. Among the very coolest of space news, perhaps. And truth be told it is truly *monumental*. While many are discussing the usual geopolitical gossip that seemingly goes in tandem with such cool space news, the significance of the landing not for any one nation, but potentially for the human race, is huge. So today, to the nation of India, its brilliant scientists at Isro, and all those who worked towards #chandrayaan3, we salute your fine, very cool space work.

One of the mission's principal aims will be to search for water-based ice that, scientists believe, could support future human habitation on the Moon. However, we would ask you to spare a thought at this time for the plucky little rover, who will wizz (albeit slowly) around the Moon's south pole for one lunar day (around 14 Earth days.) Named Pragyan, which means “wisdom” in Sanskrit, the rover will analyze the elemental composition of the Moon’s surface, and assess the composition of elements like magnesium and aluminium in the lunar soil around the landing site. 

But we can't help but think of this cute little rover, its six wheels leaving imprints of Isro and India’s national emblem on the lunar surface, up there frightened, away from home, all alone :(

appreciation for the sheer melancholic fondness in wilson’s gaze at house during what he knows is the last normal interaction they’ll ever have; during the final comparatively trivial rant in which they don’t both have to pretend the world isn’t collapsing beneath their feet

#ITS SO FORLORN GODDAMNIT #it’s the way that he waited a few minutes just to savour the normalcy of it all #acting like his eyes aren’t glazed over as house jibes about hooker innuendos #rsl has to be a sociopath I swear because if this was ME acting out this shakespearen ahh tradgedy…. I would never recover #would literally have to move into the forest in order to contemplate the inevitability of all good things coming to an end #I’m juiced up if you can’t tell. and feeling TOTALLY normal about these fictional middle aged men. #house md #greg house #gregory house #hilson #james wilson #hatecrimes md #house/wilson #robert sean leonard

getting severely clear just how many people have never heard someone tell a trans man "honey, gay men call each other 'sis' and 'queen' all the time"

(or maybe never listened when a trans guy opened up about it)

#and if you try to say none have i'm literally saying it right now that was the most common thing middle-aged white women would tell me #pre-T getting anyone to even try to gender me correctly was like pulling fucking teeth #and even now (abt 10 months in) people still misgender me for the dumbest reasons (my hair?? or having a husband???) #if i see another post claiming people don't bend over backward to misgender trans men i will shit a fucking badger #alex is alive #transandrophobia #transandromisia

the thing about eliot spencer as a character, right. the thing about him.

(and as always your mileage may vary on my analyses so if we disagree that's cool actually)

is that he is in fact a somewhat emotionally constipated idiot who is occasionally sensitive about his perceived masculinity and gets defensive about emotional intimacy around other men (largely hardison, who's much more comfortable expressing affection and embracing a softer kind of masculinity), but eliot displays enough emotional awareness and sensitivity and respect for women etc etc that anyone who's been subjected to that era of television will put on rose-tinted glasses without even looking twice.

(and he is, don't get me wrong, incredibly emotionally aware for a professionally punchy guy with enough trauma to sink the titanic. it still startles me to see.)

on top of which we have the layers and the accessories and the excellent hair with the secret braids and the way he barely has an ego and he's good with kids and protective of his team without taking it too far, and some of us never stood a fucking chance.

#eliot #eliot spencer #orig #further discussion in further tags #I'm being perhaps a little critical and there are other ways to read eg the fragile masculinity moments #but I Do think they were intended this way and largely come across this way #I'm quite happy playing with a fanon eliot who's better at this shit is the thing? it feels faithful enough to the original. #but this is something I'm chewing over in a rewatch and it's interesting so far #the fact that he pretty consistently respects women doesn't stop him from treating men and women differently y'know? #the fact that his bantering with hardison expresses affection and gets quite soft over time #doesn't stop him from pushing hardison away on a semi-regular basis. often physically. #the fact that the fandom unanimously decided he's an utter gentleman in matters of dating #doesn't quite negate the time he physically stopped aimee from getting away when he wanted to talk to her #though that's one I might disregard because it's so early and I think they hadn't quite figured out the characters then #and it was admittedly a brief moment followed by very consensual happenings #perhaps. honestly. eliot may be reflecting the attitudes of the show here. #which were very progressive for the time and are still startling on several fronts now but also showing definite signs of age #arguably fanon eliot (as I understand him) is eliot adjusted for inflation. as it were. #there's a lot going on here I'm having a normal amount of thoughts about it I'm. stopping now

I am too dumb for the asoiaf tumblr fandom and I am too level-headed for the asoiaf reddit fandom, where do I go?

#let’s make a separate site for the semi-casual enjoyers #the discourse here is sometimes so well researched & so well written #that ur jaw is on the floor #people out here writing books on greenseer sansa & jon losing an eye & bran Norse mythology parallels & arya royal diplomat foreshadowing #and I am sitting here w so maybe sansa thinks a lot #it’s giving oh men get on acid & discover empathy while women have had metaphysical realisations at age 12 #people out here doing deferential calculus & I am saying 2*5 = 10 lol #but that’s still better than reddits 1+1 = green tomatoes #man ok #rant over

Do u think if durge had returned to baldurs gate either before or after the coronation, and so gortash was sitting in the privacy of his office instead, he would have acted differently to them walking in?

No need for performing to an audience.

Would he do his triumphant laugh as durge walks through the doors? He holds his arms up out and toward them while talking about how it’s a pure, bloody miracle that they still walk.

Of course, he’s still a little bit cautious (for like 5 seconds) just in case Orin was right about Durge not remembering him, but he just really can’t contain his excitement and relief, and he doesn’t have to up in his office.

#he wants to laugh and smile and hold them #but with the confused look on Durge’s face it’s a gamble on if they would KO him with one punch if he tried that #veteran banites watching durge walk back in and they have to force themselves not to groan #bc they thought the days of watching middle aged men make out on the war table were over #gortash #dark urge #durge #durgetash

id: a drawing of the scene from fugitive telemetry where ratthi and gurathin peak around murderbot to see the crime scene. Gurathin, drawn with light skin and buzzed blond hair, is standing on his tip-toes to be tall enough to see over murderbot’s shoulder. Ratthi, drawn with a medium skin tone and greying brown hair, looks past its side with a concerned look on his face. They each have a hand hovering near murderbot, not quite touching it. In front of them is a pool of blood but the rest of the crime scene off screen. There are drones scattered around the room. /end id

After over a month of reading fics, interacting with fandom, and 30k+ words written for this book series….. I finally started reading fugitive telemetry. Unfortunately, it’s my favorite.

#you cannot tell me CANONICALLY gurathin gets on his tippytoes to look over mb’s shoulder #peaking around it like they’re in a goddamn saturday morning cartoon #it’s so funny #sometimes a super-strong killer robot needs to invite two middle aged men to watch it break onto a ship for moral support #and to block cameras I *guess* #the funniest thing to me is they were both completely down #if only to make sure it doesn’t incriminate itself for murder #mine #not music #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #murderbot fanfic #my art

straight up not respecting some of the alleged p2 characters' ages as they were given on the VA's papers bc you're telling me this is a 27yo man on the left & a 35(!)yo woman on the right? you jest. this woman is in her 20s at most. she doesn't have a wrinkle of age on her face. just worry. i know men age like milk this is taking the piss. i know patho 2 is the "hot blemishless 20something white(-passing) women" game but at this point own it. don't try lying to me. she doesn't look a day past 29. got friends below 25 with more winkles. in the first half of the 20th century too. where would she be getting her anti-aging serums.

you're telling me this woman who's a chronic worrier, dealing with chronic pain, who smokes like a locomotive to cope is allegedly 5 years Older than this guy who's been drinking himself to sleep for like 5 years.

(mike's mic voice) don't piss me off

#alledged(?) VA papers? would love to have a peep. might go wander VK if i can make the trek #sorry for getting heated over p2 yulia again. it's no secret i vastly prefer her design in p1 #but this is aggravating. chrewly. #i know why that is. i knooooowwww why that is. it's because people in the team (coughs) (coughs) & in Media in general cannaeeeeee stand to #create women who actually look over 25. even women who are supposed to be older. #which while a media Trope/problem across media and genre it's not helped with a certain writer's. hmmm. alleged proclivities. #i would respect her being 35 if you have her to me looking 35. her skin is as smooth as 10 yrs younger Lara with one (1) slit #between the brows that just seems to come from her being a thinker & a worrier. nuh-uh! #ah hell naw!!! #i'm profoundly a p1 ages truther except for most of the kids + rubin. i know men age like milk but that guy is Not 23. #also p2 27yo daniil vs 30yo twins They Have Naht met at first year uni with that timeline. & it is important for me that they do. #most of the kids being averaged to ~15 real to me though. we all been here. #neigh (blabbers) #some of the ages on it make no sense [not just yulia but also like. aspity. who looks like a 20something & is actually ageless/5yo] #& while i can guess it's for like The Vibes / voice acting direction i assume it would make more sense to give the actual age & then add #like context to why they would sound older because that's something you might(?) need to know... would really want to see that with my eyes
