Hey

is solar lunacy discontinued?

Nah I just stopped sharing the chapters publicly because people were being weirdly hostile about my update schedule, so rn the only people who's seen the updates is myself plus one other person. I'll prob continue to wait to share the writing tbh until I feel like its chilled out more

i think i'm just really attracted to photosynthetic alien-looking organisms with slightly ominous vibes. starting my botany love in high school with the eastern skunk cabbage was indicative of what i was to become i guess

im just noticing some similarities

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!

That's right. Two hands.

One for his chalk.

One for his codex.

Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.

you know. fandom is so fun when you have like. ten or so specific people to participate in it with. even if there's just the one. theres something very cool and special about creating, whether art or music or writing fics, alongside a group of people who are all insane about the same thing you are. its a strange kind of vulnerability and openness and love. id write a novel for my friends if they asked

Not a biologist so not sure how well this holds up, but consider:

Humans are warm-blooded. We are constantly burning calories just to keep warm. What if to aliens we are constantly consuming food just to keep up like DC's Flash family??

Alien: "What are you doing?"

Human: "Making the best sandwich I've had in weeks!"

Alien: "But you just ate this morning."

Human: "...Yes? Like normal? Wait, how long ago did you eat?"

Alien: "Three weeks ago. Like normal."

Human: "Oh right, you guys are coldblooded! Wow, I forgot. I guess we haven't been doing much running around lately, so you probably don't need much food. Weird. Well, you're missing out on sandwiches like this."

Alien: "If we're 'coldblooded,' does that mean your blood is hot? Is that why you eat so much, to maintain it? What a waste!"

Human: "Remind me to give you a hug next time the heater breaks, and I bet you'll change your mind."

This sort of case would have interested our old friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. Yes, indeed.

re: the definitive cancellation. i hadn't been holding out too much hope because i didn't want to get devastated all over again, but man i think i really was expecting to be pleasantly surprised. everything else about this show has been so goddamn miraculous.

i'm just one guy in this fandom, and i don't have a particularly loud voice or anything, but i want to get it on record that this show really did have a profound effect on me. i was literally a different person pre march 2022.

ofmd's sheer earnest portrayal, love, and celebration of queer identity is groundbreaking. it's a good show. it displays an expectation of quality that's been getting harder and harder to find in the current media climate (when it comes to mainstream media, anyway).

this show and the discussion it has about queer identity, masculinity, societal expectations, had a hand in me getting closer to actualizing my own identity. it ignited in me a profound desire for more portrayals of genuine expression, and felt like a breath of fresh air in our irony-poisoned culture.

ofmd is funny. and it's loving. and it's honest. and it's obvious why it was able to form such a community around it.

it sucks that we won't get to see the proper end of it the way it was originally intended. it really sucks. but the show still exists and we all got to see it and i'm serious when i say appreciating that fact is going to be better than mourning what could have been at this point.

i love this very specific type of german bro slang where they say things like "küss dein herz", it's just so sweet. so soft. i am kissing your heart, bro. i love you

thinking about puppet tattoo parlors. A wall covered in so many different thread colors to choose from - swatches of different types of stitch for different textures / effects. modified handheld sewing machines for tattooing with multiple settings for the different stitches. individual needles + embroidery thread as stick n pokes...

[samijey]

why are they always like this.......

bonus Jey responding with some serious "i love you // i know" energy:

Bro, the fact that they had Gwaine and Arthur alone together looking for a missing Merlin and then had Gwaine try to initiate a conversation about their favorite things about Merlin only to be cut off, drives me NUTS.

WRITERS, LET ARTHUR SPEAK.

LET ME HEAR HIS FAVORITE THING ABOUT MERLIN.

LET ME HEAR WHAT BREAKS HIS HEART MOST WHEN HE THINKS MERLIN MIGHT NOT COME BACK.

Did y'all have a weird nickname growing up that doesnt really pertain to your actual name? Either by your peers/friends or family members? :)c
