No, but I really need a Karen Begins so bad - like where was she born, who her parents are, what's her maiden name, what inspired her to be a rocket scientist, her journey of becoming a literal rocket scientist, what made her such a straight-to-the point person on her first date set up with Hen, what was going inside her head before Chimney called her saying 'Hen is dead' - like everything - please, after 7 almost 8 seasons of badassery and being one of the greatest love interests of all time she has rightfully earned a Begins episode, Tim đ

still obsessed with the outer wilds alpha. like I HAVE that shit
someday I will gain the motivation to go through it and write about how much the characters have changed because jesus christ the difference is drastic
I don't remember how I got the alpha version since I. was not one of the people who got it when it was still up but I'm 90% sure I still have the file, I think I got it via wayback machine but I don't know
anyways the alpha is fun and I don't see posts about it, there's so much potential for shit surrounding it yall don't even understand
I think the very first thing I noticed is, when you wake up in the alpha, "slate's" (in quotes because they weren't named at the time, but they're clearly what was later turned into slate) dialogue is relatively the same but instead of saying "it's all fueled up" they say "she's all fueled up" and I love that tiny detail. SO much.
the hearthians had gender in the alpha iirc, "the curator" (hornfels) was referred to as he I'm pretty sure, probably along with other characters.
another thing, I'm pretty sure the alpha didn't have any sort of "ending" but alpha version speedruns still exist, so the only category is "marshmallow%" where you run to get the marshmallow at every campfire and it's really delightful. definitely recommend watching
I wanted to run it but there are no available guides i could find and I didn't want to just analyze footage and take my best guess sob.
anyways this was very ramble-y and aimless but I fucking love the alpha , as janky and weird as it is. outer wilds alpha version you are SO beautiful
if anyone wants it I can try to find the link again but I don't remember where I got it. I'm sure someone somewhere does though lol.
#outer wilds#outer wilds alpha#another fun fact#since nobody has names yet#theyre all called like#âthe curatorâ like I mentioned with hornfels#or âthe rocket scientistâ or smfn#gabbro. is called âzen guyâ#i'm not kidding it's âzen guyâ#the others all get their jobs#like I'm pretty sure chert is âthe astronomerâ#so I LOVE the implication that gabbro in the alpha's literal job was being âzen guyâ#it's so silly goofy I will never get over it

I don't mean to be a hater but it does baffle me how tommy became the character of choice for sooo many people. like I have nothing against him but in a show with so many great characters I don't see what everyone sees in him to be dedicating entire blogs to him
#i mean he's had what like half an hour screentime? and the closest to an arc he's had is that he used to be racist but isn't anymore#he's just kind of.. there to me compared to how i deeply love or at least really enjoy so many of the other characters#(and tbh when people start saying he's sooo much better developed than previous love interests or even than abby?! it does start to feel#a bit like half of his appeal is simply Male Character)#why can't have we have this much love and appreciation and content for the Actual coolest character literal rocket scientist karen#talking#911

Okay, after rewatching Phineas and Ferb Across the Second Dimension, which came out in 2011, I need to know if the first Avengers movie- which came out in 2012- copied it, or if it was just a weird coincidence that both movies have an interdimensional portal with a seemingly endless evil army coming out of it set on the top of a weird looking building in the middle of a city that they have to fly up and close after a showdown with the villain?
#phineas and ferb#avengers#also that scene where they're 'going clockwise through the multiverse'#reminds me of the scene in GoTG 2 where rocket yondu and groot are trying to get to ego's planet and keep flying through portals ajghfalksd#also I will lament AGAIN that we didn't get a phineas and ferb/gravity falls crossover because it would be GREAT#if this movie had come out a few years later there could've been a shot of ford somewhere as they're dimension hopping#or bill ajfhlksagdjfas#also the whole 'mad scientist builds portal to another dimension. memory erasure happens' is also a hilarious connection#basically I'm now questioning if a lot of people watched P&F and decided 'you know what that's a fun idea I'mma use that'#mostly marvel because there's just. there's just so many coincidences otherwise xD#the portal the evil army the showdown on the roof#begs the question if thor had given loki one of his childhood toys he'd lost would he have calmed down then? xD#anyway#this is all very funny to me#this movie was funny without context but it's definitely better with the context of the show#for ages this movie was literally where all my knowledge of P&F came from xD

working on a SOVIET space history thing (wow!! non-american history!!) for one of my finals this semester and oh my god. i could fucking kiss NASA archivists on the mouth. entire PDFs of books are available online. they have actual soviet resources. god bless the civilian space effort.
#arin shut up#grad school blues#proud to be an american whenever it comes to NASA stuff#i am high as fuck right now and going mad scientist reading about BOMBS AND ROCKETS#i love the new left but literally nothing gets me excited like space history#i swing between hating and loving grad school every day

i used to be really good at and into science and math stuff in high school especially chemistry but since spending four years at university getting the world's most useless degree (BA music) (not even performance emphasis) (point and laugh) i haven't really done anything stem since then apart from the worst required physics 101 class in the galaxy so now instead of being smart and doing actual experiments in the lab myself i microdose science by watching chemists on youtube do shit like trying to make a fast food hamburger as flammable as possible
#sasha speaks#both of my parents have chemistry degrees my sister is finishing her masters in ecology#i have an aunt who's so computer science she helped make The Cloud. her two sons are like.#some kind of physicist i think and a literal rocket scientist (aerospace engineering maybe?? idk what my cousins do honestly.)#and i. play oboe#and used to do chem club demos for girl scouts at science fairs#i don't know what the point of this post was. just a glimpse into my brain when i'm questioning why i'm not asleep yet ig#dude i was on the mathletes team for like three years. remember that. shit was crazy#i wanna talk about me#i tried so hard to take chemistry instead of physics for my science gen ed. i tried SO hard.#the lab sections NEVER worked out with orchestra#none of the other science classes that fulfilled the requirement ever fit in my schedule either#so i got stuck with Literal Last Choice Physics 101. taught by The Worst Professor (TM)

high key LOVE when my brother has friends over because iâll just be like âhey i broke this do you think itâs able to be fixed?â and suddenly a patio full of half drunk stoners is solving all my problems for me đ¤
#shut up em#referencing the fact specifically that one of my students threw my water bottle#(that is an old sodastream bottle)#and the bottom metal part came off#and itâs happened before and i fixed it before#but this time i COULDNT GET IT#then remembered my brother had all his friends over.#waltzed out there and presented the two pieces like secret ingredients in chopped#âboys#what you have here before you today#is a sodastream bottle that i continuously fill with water because it holds a full liter and helps me measure my water intake.#youâll notice#it is in two pieces#your job today. is to make these two ingredients. work together.#your time starts NOWâ#and suddenly the team of rocket scientists that used to fix my car when i drove are putting my water bottle back together.

one one hand it's nice people are getting into 9-1-1 because half of a common fan pairing that the fandom loves became canonically bi. on the other please remember there's been an openly lesbian black woman with a wife and her fair share of drama and growth as a main character since season 1.
#fandom is fandom and there's a reason i don't usually go in the tags bc this show isn't one i feel the need to#but hen and karen and the cheating and karen being a literal rocket scientist and hen gaining even more conviction and confidence was goodt#anyway still love buck and he's the awkward rep we deserve#source: teddybearsandlightningstorms

karen wilson is so severely underutilized like why is the show not sending her on the same adventures and hijinks that michael used to get into?? i demand a subplot where chris and denny are in the same science class and are supposed to be building rockets and both she (literal rocket scientist) and buck (audhder hyperfixated on random scientific knowledge) get way too into it. have her athena and maddie go on a no-firefighters-allowed excursion that ends in them catching a serial killer. introduce karen and bobby inexplicably having beef only for it to be revealed that it was all caused by an imessage scrabble game gone wrong. we as a society need storylines for karen wilson in season eight that donât revolve around her either being an extension of hen or the constant ongoing prevention of them getting another kid
#give her some fun story lines PLEASE#karen wilson#henren#evan buckley#athena grant#maddie buckley#bobby nash#henrietta wilson#911 abc

people calling the joon video transphobic is so fucking annoying oh my god. he read out one single pre-transition quote that included lily's deadname, then stopped, clarified that this was referring to lily, and stated that he would be using "lily" and "she" in all future quotes for the video. that is literally how you make a video respectfully. the only reason the deadname was ever shown in screenshots is because you cannot make ANY edits if you want to avoid accusations of faking evidence. i understand that people want it to be possible for lily's deadname to never be mentioned at all, but the only way to do that is to ignore any and all wrongdoings that happened before her transition. i don't think i need to explain why that's ridiculous. like what did you want joon to do, be so honest
yeppp I feel the same way
im not trans myself but I do understand Joon having to use her deadname for clarification in the evidence. Her deadname is CRUCIAL for her being tied back to stockholm and etc. and like you said, he used it once to clarify and used lilys proper pronouns.
and I agree, Joon cannot edit over lilyâs deadname. Itâd create too many complications in evidence, and he could be accused of faking screenshots. Lily has a track record of claiming people use false evidence on her when her name is changed in old pieces of evidence.
it doesnât take a rocket scientist to figure out that joon isnât a transphobe towards lily in his video. the only people saying this are people hyper analytical and not reading between the lines, and makalia orchard lmao.
makalia: someone insulted my wife!? GO GO GADGET TRANSPHOBIA CARD

Okay! I need to get this out of my head. Iâve seen some posts that are upset that people are upset about the BuckTommy break up. The core gripe of these posts is that the show still has HenKaren and so we shouldnât be upset about the handling of the other main queer couple. Which makes no sense because BuckTommy and HenKaren fulfill different niches. One is a bisexual man exploring a new relationship and the other is two gay women who are settled with multiple kids.
However, this post is to talk about HenKaren. Yes I love them! They were the main thing that drew me to the show long before bi Buck became a thing. They are two black women in a relationship. Neither is âconventionallyâ attractive. Hen is pretty visually queer. I love them. I want more of them in the show. However I donât relate to them. Almost all of their storylines revolve around motherhood. There is very limited exploration of them as queer women outside of motherhood. Karen is a literal rocket scientist and that has never even been used as any sort of plot point. Like the amount of physics she knows and understands could be used to great effect. Micheal got to help break into a bank vault with Bobby, but Karen has never been used in a similar way. Like the amount of STEM knowledge stored in her brain 100% could have solved at least a few rescues. Can we explore these amazing woman as queer women instead of mothers just sometimes pls.
I read a fanfic that explored how Donât ask, Donât tell could have affected Karen. That she couldnât become an astronaut because of it. I would love more of that energy in the show.
So yes you are right I am bemoaning the way Buck and Tommyâs break up was handled. I am bemoaning the lack of care given to exploring Buckâs bisexuality within monogamy. I am allowed to be upset. I am allowed to not relate to the storylines given to Hen and Karen. What happened to Hen being kinda witchy and blaming the moon cycle for her cheating? What happened to Hen and Karen and Athenaâs wine mom nights? Where is our exploration of Karen as partner to a woman in a dangerous field of work? Where is our exploration of their relationship outside of kids?
You want me to appreciate the crumbs of queer representation being tossed my way? Well wonât youâre right we should be angry that Hen and Karen are treated as second class citizens in the narrative. We should be upset that their importance has been reduced to only motherhood. We should be upset that this show is mishandling all of its queer characters and letting Eddie Diaz have freedom and joy while our queer representation suffers.
BuckTommy was the straw that broke the camels trust in 911 ability to craft realistic queer lives and continue to care about them more than a diversity check mark. I will continue to watch HenKaren clips on YouTube and read fan-fiction. I will continue to engage with Bi Buck fan-fiction that heals the parts of me that Glee and this show have bruised. I will not thank them for the stale crumbs they brush from the table. Do I love Hen and Karen? Yes! Is it enough? Not anymore!
Anyway, I got a little heated and upset, but all this discourse is really just rubbing me the wrong way. Let people be upset and hurt. Their feelings are valid whether you agree.
#HenKaren#Karen Wilson#Hen Wilson#woman should never be ruduced to motherhood#wlw#BuckTommy#Tommy Kinard#Evan Buckley#911 discourse#911#I need to step away but tumblr keeps pulling me back in#Hen and Karen are better in concept than execution#which is so tragic#I mourn what we could have
