#and my baby deserves all the love

The way Malia gets so surprised whenever Scott compliments her and tells her he trusts her, gets me everytime.

And then the way he is like "What? This is just the bare minimum"

A new pop-up store dropped for ALIEN STAGE's 2nd anniversary and wow. It's so sick.

It's Interesting what exactly these experiments are focusing on and monitoring.

Instrument practice

I found it interesting earlier that Till was so tame, more so than he usually is when he's going through experiments, but music, and making music is what he loves doing, So he was fully in his element here. This was probably the only thing he was made to do by the aliens that he at least tolerated.

(Additionally, judging by his collar (orange), he was at least calm. maybe he just isn't fazed anymore.)

//Side note, that head contraption looks familiar BUT this most likely isn't related at least i hope

(It puts me at ease, at least..)

Dance practice

This surprised me, but I suppose Mizi needed more skills.

She looks very startled here, and nervous(?) +It looks like she's doing this while singing. And with that face covering I assume this was a test monitoring her dance balance, precision, etc. At first, I did think it was odd, "Why would Shine put her through that" But alas I was reminded that even though Mizi is the flower of the group she was never untouchable, to Shine, this was the equivalent of teaching your dog to sit and stay.

(seeing this it reminded me of those scenes in movies where the people are dancing, and the music gets faster and faster until they fall. I wonder if she was doing through something similar to that)

Singing practice (?)

Similar to Till she also looks quite calm outwardly, if the machine around her neck is an iteration of the collars they have, then this process wasn't something she liked, or given how intense this experiment looks, this was a test of high-pressure to ensure she always stayed calm during performances (?). Then again this could also be a posture practice given all the structure focused on maintaining her position.

(What I believe was another form of this test was shown before so I think so)

(With her hands in a praying stance I wonder if she was praying to herself or singing a religious song (sweet dream?) It's also interesting that the machinery around her looks like a halo, and she looks so...angelic? holy?)

Image making practice

By image making, I think they made Ivan replicate expressions with his face. Whether this process was painful for him or not...I'm not sure. But it looked visibly uncomfortable, maybe that was the point. (His expression, even in this circumstance is so dubious..)

Ivan, among other things, needed to have a spotless appearance to be successful, his image was a priority given his skills were certainly guaranteed.

I assume the aliens eventually took note of his lack of expression, in the real world this can be a detriment to one's career, so the Aliens had to ensure quality was perfect. (To a more...dedicated level)

Superiority test

'Superiority test' Is very vague.

HyunA is very calm here too, likely sedated in that water with all the tablets on her. I guess this was a test to get an idea of a pet human's strengths and weaknesses, endurance, and temperament to compare and contrast them with others, testing who is more viable for Alien stage?

Another interesting, and sad part about this is that HyunWoo was there, watching his sister through her experiments.

(Also, it looks like both of her legs are normal, no alien leg yet.)

Heart rate variability

And finally, the most visceral of them all. The wording 'variability' makes this all the more sickening, the Aliens were testing his heart hours, testing it at different rates, speeds, and states. And he was in agony the entire time. Even the way he's clutching his chest, it gives me chills. This would've been a completely harmless test in a normal setting, as something quite similar to this can be performed efficiently in real life. But he's being tortured in the process.

This is one of the first times we've ever seen Luka's face so truly clear and unprotected, (understandably so.) He's even crying.

They deserved better

[daddiesdrarryy]

Blaise: Darling, this sweater has a hole in it

Ron: It’s okay! I can still wear it, I’m used to wearing hand-me-downs already

Blaise: This is not yours?

Ron: Well, it’s originally Bill’s, then Charlie’s, then Percy’s, you know the how it is, and now it’s mine

Blaise: Do you have clothes that aren’t from your brothers?

Ron: Probably not. I mean, I’m still living in Charlie’s old room

Blaise: …

Blaise: Will you give me an hour?

*an hour later*

Ron: Blaise, what is this?

Blaise: It’s a gift

Ron: It’s a house!

Blaise: With a closet big enough that you can fly around in. And I’ve bought you your clothes

Ron: You mean you’ve brought me my clothes

Blaise: No, I bought you your clothes. They’re brand new. You won’t have to wear your siblings’ clothes ever again. Not when I’m here to give you anything you ask for from now on

Ron, tearing up: …okay

Oscar saying "I'm just a baby when it comes to water." and Logan practically living in water (fishing and all that) is such a best friend thing to exist.

Logan please take your boyfriend to more fishing sessions of yours and bless us with Loscar contents.

Quick sketches to say Happy Birthday, you little funky boy!

Bonus because Knives deserves some love:

[winters-rose-daughterofcain]

Jesper Fahey you are so, so loved by me. That's my son actually. He makes me want to slam my head through a wall sometimes but he's unbelievably dear to me.

[suntails]

do you deserve to be loved?

[losver07]

hey, pro tip! if you ever need to start crying, just think about grant chapman!

think about how one of the first things he told remus is "everyone gets sick of me in the end" and how he dedicated 20 years of his life to the only person he had ever had a true bond with, both romantic and platonic. think about how he said remus was "too bloody good for him by half" and probably always feared he was going to be put aside as soon as someone better appeared on scene, and how, when he finally got over that fear, sirius appeared and he just had to go, because it was happening at last, he was not good enough to compete with love, even though he tried.

and he tried a lot.

then reread chapter 186 of atyd and there you go! you are bawling your eyes out! well done!

They’re everything

[lorebird]

In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

“wow that’s crazy” omar rudberg do you know you deserve the whole world i’ll cry (x)
