#car's musings

[seecarrun]

Alright. Barely slept last night. Still grieving pretty hard today.

But it is time to dig deep and complete the Chilli Heeler Checklist:

✅ Have a little cry

✅ Pick myself up

✅ Dust myself off

✅ Keep going

The show must go on.

Let’s show these bastards we can be strong and kind, even in times like these.

Good morning. Can I serve you anything? Coffee, tea, whiskey?

I'm posting that after Kevin's morning routine post cause it makes sense.

The sad thing is that I would have made Muse animatics on them if I didn't have that much work. I swear some of their song fit so well (especially Undisclosed Desires and Newborn, for those who know), I'm probably gonna have to something about it eventually.

I have to notice the domesticity they're soaked in once they move in together, it's just so easy to picture...

[protect-namine]

the way everyone has a dislike in their profile that actually says something integral about their character. lu guang doesn't like plans getting messed up, cheng xiaoshi dislikes loneliness, xia fei with owing favors, vein with lying...

and then you have liu xiao, who dislikes... cilantro. and fish mint.

(shakes fist) (putting him in a glass jar and shaking vigorously) learn to be vulnerable!! tell me something about yourself!! I guess him liking movies lines up with the theater metaphors, and there's him liking chess, but that. doesn't count methinks

[unproduciblesmackdown]

always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here

now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers

I need study your boyfriend, what do you mean he would say the hit by a car post. Like. Out loud? In public?

apollo has this Thing where he takes pedestrian right of way very seriously and believes that cars should yield to his very being. which often ends with them walking onto oncoming traffic, much to my shock and terror

[toku-fangirl-2015]

I think, instead of food, the thing that would shock people from the past the most is the casual way we talk about travel.

Person from the 1700s: The trip took several days, as it was nearly five miles each way.

Me: I travel twice that far one way to go to work five days a week.

Modern businessman: Man, that flight from Rome to China was so long! It was over twelve hours!

Medieval person: I have read the tale of one such man who made the same journey. It took him twenty years.

You cinephile in black and white, all those plot twists and dynamite / Said “forever,” then he blew it up

[seecarrun]

It’s important to me that everyone remembers:

Fear and anger get more clicks than peace and calm

More clicks mean more money for whoever is publishing information and news

Media is always going to show and tell you what will get them more money

Times are scary, but when your fear is profitable, they’re going to use it for their own gain.

Consume responsibly.

feeling rabid

[xehabaldera]

Someone pointed out based on ingame dialogue and the lyrics that Chikai and Don't Think Twice could be intended to be xehaqus songs the same way they're soriku songs, in a sort of "it's too late for us, but them..." way...

This hurts, a lot; and reminds me of associating Twin Fantasy (Those Boys) with both ships, and the way the ending in Face to Face's version of the song evokes the parallels.

"This is a version of me and you that can exist outside of everything else, and if it is just a fantasy, then anything can happen from here. The contract is up, the names have been changed— so pour one out, whoever you are. These are only lyrics now." as reference to the parallels, and to how soriku both fall into and avoid the same tropes xehaqus have...

All this being from Xeha's POV, of course.

"I haven't looked at the sun for so long... I had forgotten how much it hurts to."

Imperial PSA

You wouldn't steal a speeder bike.

You wouldn't steal a datapad.

You wouldn't steal a hologram projector.

You wouldn't steal a power converter.

Downloading illegally-accessed battle station plans is stealing. Stealing is against ISB policy. Rebel Scum theft is a crime.
