“you don’t owe anyone anything” actually you owe everyone everything!!! you OWE your table server and your coworkers and the elderly person you pass on the street and the dog on its walk and the child toddling along in the park and the driver trying to merge next to you and the pregnant person standing on public transport KINDNESS in return for theirs!! the connections we build are what give life meaning!!!

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

Something that just really really bums me out on a personal level, as someone who does not want to get married and have kids, is how inescapably relentless the 'nuclear family is superior to literally anything else' messaging is. How even shows where found family has been the show's whole overarching thesis, often end with a very clear message of 'these characters thought found family was enough for them but it definitely wasn't and now they will finally be happy because they have a marriage and 2.5 kids and a house in the suburbs which is the only way true happiness can ever be achieved'. This isn’t even about any one specific show because it could be about so many shows and it’s just ... sad. It's driven by post-war capitalism and I could get into all that on an academic level but it's also truly just deeply depressing because we do unfortunately live in a world where there is a lot of truth to that statement. We do live in a world where people who don't want that life all lowkey know that eventually our friends and siblings and coworkers will all get married and have kids and become so immersed in their nuclear families that they won't have time for us anymore and there won't be a community for us and that the found family we thought they cared about too was really just a waiting room, just something temporary that was only good enough until they found the people they really wanted to spend their lives with. And it's just sad that even in the world of fiction, even in media where the idea of found family is the entire premise, we can't even have it also be the happy ending. We can have season after season telling us how amazing found family is, but we can't have a series finale that doesn't end on a note of "but remember, found family is always temporary and will never truly be enough."

Sometimes my friends will talk about shows they watch like ‘Owl House’ or ‘The Office’ and they’ll ask me if I’ve watched them and I’ll have to say no bc I don’t actually watch shows like that and then they’ll be like “oh you don’t watch a lot of tv do you?” And I’ll be like “yea actually you’re right”

No, actually, they’re not right bc after every conversation like this I’ve had I remember almost immediately after they’re gone that I do watch tv all the time (or at least I did, not so much after I moved tho) but I’m (re)watching shows like ‘Lalaloopsy’, ‘Voltron: Legendary Defender’, ‘Lolirock’, ‘Glitter Force’ (both of them), and ‘Hoodwinked’ (it’s a movie abt red riding hood and her grandmother and I love it so much and nobody ever knows what it is for some reason)

But, like, those are what I watch w whenever I actually feel like sitting down and watching shows

I know the whole song ‘Revolution’ from ‘Lolirock’ by heart

I understand how uncomfortable part of the fandom feels with the new trailer. It’s the same feeling I get when I see domestic life w kids posts.

Sarah Sisko’s whole deal is so horrifying and messed up and DS9 just kinda. Glosses over it

[badolmen]

hey you guys know that even if the people inside that submersible are rich billionaires, dying in that metal tube at the bottom of the ocean is a horrific way to die right. like. yeah stupid choices were made by the people in there signing off on a waiver that says the sub is not approved by anyone and they could die. but it’s the fault of OceanGate for knowingly putting people into a Home Depot DIY sub rigged up with an Xbox controller all to make a profit on people’s curiosity.
