I can't even joke about wanting a show about Maul fucking because first of all they would try to make him straight (which he absolutely isn't) and second of all you knowwww he didn't fuck before he had his legs cut off. he was too busy being a moody teenager and going on murder vacations. so it would have to be set post AotC. so for him to fuck they would have to canonize cybernetic dicks.

Boyfriend of apollo I need more about Point Nemo. Please infodump. Be mentally ill I'm so invested and interested - 🥺🔥
OKAY SO. the thing about point nemo is that like. not much is known about it, which makes sense. it's isolated, hard to get to, and if anything goes wrong, the chances of rescue are Thin because of the fact that literal astronauts in space are closer to you than any eathbound people. however! there was a really interesting phenomena that occurred nearby once
so, as i mentioned before, when writing his cthulhu mythos, lovecraft got WEIRDLY close to the actual location of point nemo for a place that wouldn't be founded until like, 60+ years later. keep this in mind.
in 1997, one of the loudest recorded underwater sounds was heard, which you can hear for yourself here [link]. the sound seemed to emanate from the approximate area of point nemo and was deemed the bloop, which is SUCH a cute name for something that sounds like That. now, at the time NO ONE knew what the fuck this thing was. theories ranged from bombs to military weapons testing to all kinds of crazy stuff. and, obviously, the most prominent theory was that it was generated by some sort of animal/creature. sperm whales can create frequencies so powerful they could potentially kill a human, and blue whales' calls are able to be heard from 800 km away, so it wasn't necessarily impossible that this sound was organic, too. i bring up cthulhu above because this thing spawned SO many conspiracy theories about aliens, or underwater civilizations we could barely fathom, or, as mentioned, literal cthulu. i think fox news did an interview on it once where they said they believed it was aliens. to no one's surprise
well, in 2005 we got our answer! the bloop wasn't caused by some eldritch monster or government weapons testing conspiracy. it was just an icequake! a HUGE chunk of ice (like, iceberg-sized chunk) had broken from the antarctic glacier, and that was the noise that its breaking off produced! some people still act like it's this huge terrifying mystery to this day, but it was just global warming </3

"Well, it’s that time again. I mark mid-summer by the sharing of this photo on its anniversary. This photo has spent six years circulating in the internet’s many corners and in the stories of people who have both found new relationships and/or ended friendships. 2017, New York, I was invited to a track-by-track celebration of Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION, where each writer was assigned one song to give a presentation on. I wanted "Warm Blood" but picked too late and got "Your Type," and made a presentation on my phone on the plane, but this was the only slide, and I read a long thing about desire, and about that thin veil between realizing you like someone and realizing you LIKE someone, about falling in love with friends, about being platonically in love with friends, about treating platonic love with the same generosity and rigor as romantic love. But mostly about the bravery of Big Declarations Of Emotion. Because of the nature of the party, and the fact that this photo has circulated for years without context, I think it has led to more Big Declarations Of Emotion than anything, and I don't mind that, I suppose. I still get people, to this day, telling me they were at this event or they've seen this photo and that they were inspired to tell someone they were in love with them. It feels especially exciting to share this year, in a year where I’ve gotten to be the most excited witness to my friends and their fluorescent joys. Marriages, new houses, new kids, their bravery and openness with the world. Being an audience to that makes me bold in my capacity for love, for care. We ascend to better versions of ourselves through our love for each other, and that is romance. The best kind. The results are sometimes mixed, I’ve heard. They always are. If you told a friend you love them and things got weird, I apologize. but to be fair, I wanted Warm Blood. As I say every year, there are so many ways to fall for someone. If you are at the edge of the cliff anyway, consider taking the leap. The ground might be soft enough to hold you and whatever comes next, and if it isn't there will always be more cliffs, more edges."

My love, I adore you when you're with me – unguarded, expressing yourself in any way, whether cute, quirky, or fun. I cherish those moments when you let go of the maturity that being the eldest brought upon you, with all its responsibilities. I appreciate the carefree and cute side of you. You don't need to be mature, understanding, or sensible around me. Just be yourself; I'm here to handle the rest.
