"[Her perspective after diagnosis was] '[...] I know that I’m not Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, the butt of the joke or anything like that.’ And then I realised, far out, no one is like that! Everyone has their own quirks and personalities and I shouldn’t say, ‘Oh, I’m not them, I’m different. I’m the good type of autistic!’ Destigmatising all of it, that was a good learning thing for me."

[...] The bouncy Octopus, where Lynn sings, “I think I’m like an octopus sometimes, trying so hard to blend in, forgot that I’ve something I could give,” is the only song on the album that directly addresses her diagnosis - so much so that her original title for it was Autism.

Chevrolet Astrovettes, 1969. The crew of Apollo 12 - astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean - ordered custom-painted Corvette C3s. Each astronaut ordered a matching Corvette Stingray coupe, powered by 390hp, 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 engines with 4-speed wide-range transmission and PosiTraction 3.08 rear axles. Bean (the fourth person to walk on the moon who passed away in 2018) played a key role in the design of the Corvettes, choosing the black on gold color scheme. The design included distinctive black “wings” styled by Alex Tremulis, the industrial and automotive designer. The C3 Corvettes became known as the Astrovettes with the only difference between the cars being the red, white, and blue badges on each fender used to identify which car belonged to which astronaut

His energy not matching hers used to bother me. Now I see he did try, but the sorrow in his eyes was clear. He knew what was coming, knew it would hurt. His eyes silently apologized for the tears she'd shed and the harsh words a younger him would soon throw at her.

I rewatched TIA/DOTM and Im... once you know its melody in that suit, once you look and focus on river in those episodes you see a completely different sub-set of plot.

How melody was terrified and reaching for her mother, how she escaped her space suit to try and help her mother who shot at her earlier, managing to escape because the doctor creates an unintention diversion for long enough that she can run off.

And then you see river.

How river has a mask on nearly the entire time. She figures out what is happening and she just walls off. She smiles and laughs and she looks okay until you see her when she thinks no one is looking. When she is truely terrified, seeing the silence in the tunnels. When the doctor talks about finding the girl and her face just goes blank, and theres panic in her eyes.

How she spins around with a smile and a gun, flirting with the doctor who calls her his friend, while her eyes are darting about the room in barely concealed panic.

How when the doctor asks who she is, who she killed, her face is carefully blank and she doesnt even try answering.

my love,

by the time you are reading this, you will be on another planet, a new home. we will have succeeded in our mission. i have to believe this.

i’m afraid i have flown too close; my wings are burned and my ship is dying. i no longer know what it means to be warm.

humanity wasn’t meant to last forever.

do you think that icarus -- who tasted his own wax as he fell -- had flown too close on purpose? that he had wanted to feel the warmth of the sun on his skin?

i feel as though i have done the same.

i will see you again. i swear it.

your star,

alex

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY @cha-melodius I LOVE YOU PLS ENJOY SOME SPACE-ADJACENT WORDS

[threewaywithdelusion]

The song Northern Lights by Alex the Astronaut makes me think of Keeley, specifically Keeley rebuilding herself after her relationship with Jack. (The title is also pretty apt, no?)

Then I was standing with glue and tape I was panicking, my color had been changed A thousand drops of paint you dripped That you didn't know you did, you didn't know

I think you needed control to ease your brain I didn't get it until I walked away Because you made me breakfast, you cheered my name I kept thinking of polar sunshine to keep my wonder, But something was wrong

I wiggled my way out, I put back the pieces My friends, I'm sorry for the moments I missed I've painted over the glue and tape And tomorrow your name won't haunt me like this

Bye bye and by next July My therapist will say I'm fine I'll go to see the Northern Lights

And no one will ever break me down again
