WWGD (what would Gilear do) - is actually really motivating and useful to me. Because no matter how bad, he just kept going. Instead of curling up in fetal position and wishing for the trouble to go away.

AH I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY EARLIER but it's kind of stupid, lmao.

So my partner is getting into brewing beer and I got them a Tilt, which is a Bluetooth hydrometer. It measures specific gravity and temperature, which are things you want to know so that you don't kill your yeast or whatever. Except the sensor's Bluetooth range is super short, and it basically runs via a phone app, and the temperature we're logging currently is the crawlspace, accessible via the staircase closet. So they were like, wait, what do we do about this, because I can't leave my phone in the closet, that's my alarm clock.

In a kind of ridiculous turn of life imitating art, I was like, hold up, I got just the thing right at my desk. Bam. Old phone. We just needed to scrounge up a charger because the battery is so dead that after charging just enough to power on it claimed it was at 53% (to be fair to it, there is a very real chance that it's correct, and it just holds no charge at this point so the capacity is just THAT low) and now it lives in the closet logging sensor data.

And I was like, you know...didn't I just solve a major story detail with a much larger version of this...yeah, no, this is all vaguely familiar somehow, power supply issues and all. Kind of cool that the concept works though. Kind of weird that it came up at all?

We are not gonna talk about the fact that I still have at least two more ancient-ass phones in a drawer where that came from because look, man, sometimes you just need a camera/mic/mini computer with Bluetooth and wifi that fits in a pocket, and people just get rid of these things, but not me. I actually could build a shitty security system out of them if I was reaaaally inclined. I mean. I'm not. But it's technically possible.

For real though, If I pick up any stupid maker projects I still high-key am thinking about slapping Bluetooth into a necomimi headset and running that through an Arduino and learning to code just enough to let me skip songs/change the volume on Spotify with my brain, because it's entirely doable, and I mean yeah I could do that on my phone remotely too, but that's not funny, now, is it. I'm just not sure it's $350+ of parts funny. Kind of a big investment just to prove the point that haha look I am the extremely ADHD type of lazy where I would rather solve a problem via the most convoluted and complicated Rube-Goldberg type ass machine way possible rather than just perform a single simple action.

YEAH I'VE BEEN THIS SCATTERED ALL DAY AND I REALLY SHOULD GO TO BED SHOULDN'T I. I started playing Satisfactory. Mistakes were made. I'm going to dream about conveyor belts again and I did it to myself...

fellas is it gay to let thoughts of killing another man consume your every waking thought, spiraling you into an obsession with being the one to see the light of life drain from his eyes and his lips part to take his dying gasp as you hold him in your arms, only for everything else to feel pointless and hollow when he's finally gone? where is the challenge? where is the thrill? the hunt is over.

Jonathan provided a message about Gavin Creel to Susan Blackwell for an episode of her podcast ‘The Spark File’, which celebrated the legacy of Gavin Creel. The audio is above from the podcast and the transcript below is from MixOf_ChaosAndArt on Reddit.

“Gavin taught me the life-changing power of opening up your heart to love. Our romantic relationship changed the course of my life forever.

Even though I had come out as gay to my friends and my family in 2008, I still felt deep shame.

I had worshiped him for years as a performer but when I got to know him as a person in 2009 and the channel of love opened up between us, he gave me the gift of an all-consuming passion and my soul bloomed.

Public displays of affection used to make my whole whole body tense and suddenly I was all over Gavin on street corners without giving it a second thought.

Films, poetry, music, art. All of it came into focus.

But it was his activism that shook me to the core. He monologued with such purity and honesty about equality, rooted in his own struggles with his identity. He organized the Broadway Impact trip to the Marriage Equality March in DC.

I will never forget a specific moment of looking over at his shining face, with the purity of his heart beaming out of his eyes. The powerful light he radiated completely possessed me and snapped me into evolution. I turned from looking at him and immediately came out of the closet publicly.

The tidal wave of his passion for love burst my heart open permanently and I have never been the same.”

Sophos in a conspiracy of kings is truly just like. WWGD (What would Gen do)?

He is always going "I thought about what Eugenides would do here" or "I did this thing as Eugenides would". His acting skills consist of emulate Gen

Tbf I too think what would Gen do sometimes

What Would Gillion Do

[avatorofthelonely]

are there any tma characters that you think should have been more shitty? like someone who doesn't make as many bad decisions as the other characters when that's what the show is all about? because that's how i kind of feel about georgie and why i'm not really attracted to her as a character compared to the others

To answer who could have been worse:

Martin. I’m too tired to explain this in detail. But it has less to do with how he is in canon and more of the fandom’s failure to acknowledge or even see some of Martin’s more toxic behavior.

I also would have liked to see Tim go more off the deep end because he easily could have been the contrarian constantly providing a wwgd(what would Gertrude do) perspective and I’ll admit I like toying with Stranger! Tim.

Now, sorry anon but I have to be Georgie’s lawyer here.

Or maybe I’m not her lawyer because I do think she’s more morally complex than you’re giving her credit for and frankly, can be shitty at times.

The thing that sticks out to me the most is her telling Jon she would be his anchor and then simply not doing that. Especially when Jon asked her if she would go to therapy with him and she just straight up said no. It’s sad but it’s also not her job to take care of him if she doesn’t want to and the way she sees it she’s done so much and their relationship is incredibly one-sided.

That said, I don’t completely fault her for this. At this point, her relationship with Melanie is progressing and as far as Melanie and therefore Georgie are concerned, Jon is responsible for so many of Melanie’s problems. For Georgie, Jon is a bad college ex, and maybe even a mistake (tho we don’t know much about their relationship we do know it ended up badly).

Georgie may even feel bad for at first encouraging Melanie to cut Jon some slack and then he only got worse.

Maybe Georgie is more aware of Jon’s true nature than any of us. Maybe she’s recognizing patterns in him that we (or even the other characters) can’t.

Either way, she was extremely unkind to Jon and clearly picked Melanie over him which is an incredibly complex and bittersweet situation to be in and not in any way a boring or morally easy one.

And of course as I always like to emphasize: the narrative importance of anchors. Melanie escaped in large part due to having Georgie. Jon lost Georgie as an anchor and in so many ways, his ties to a life outside the institute and the entities.
