Hey, hi, hello! Can I talk about "Galileo" with you???? I saw your post and it's everything

YES

lmk if you want a write-up because i'm guessing you did not see it in person and tbh the reviews I read didn't dive into the themes, they were more critiques of like if the reviewer was able to get over the fact that it's an '80s style rock musical from 2024 about Galileo Galilee and his daughter and her boyfriend and the pope

like just having Raul Esparza dayenu but the way they used their artistic license was also gr9

ok i might do a write-up even if no one wants one because i need something to think about while i'm grumpy at my bosses tomorrow and Gal+the pope's relationship parallels his daughter+her boyfriend's relationship. Like. I thought Young Pope was a weird concept because why would you ruin how hot Jude Law is by making him the pope (altho some gifsets have made it seem like he is still v hot) and this musical put a pope next to Raul Esparza and made them friends and then made them enemies and it was incredible

i'm too tired to articulate this properly but the show is very good from like level headed objective measures and it's also very good from a fandomy "i want to ship them" perspective. Except for the love song between the daughter and her boyfriend was awful but that's the only mark against it that i can recall at this moment

i would pay money to watch Raul Esparza read the phone book but even without him as the star, this was a very good show

ok i should get ready for sleep soon

[shabbytigers]

new apartment share may have been a mistake tbh. roommate is a bigger slob than i am. i’m undomesticated myself and pretty tolerant but it���s low-key nerfing the kitchen for actual use, the sink will be like two inches full with standing water and food gunk from dumping out the fry-up pan, the solution to garbage can full is start another bag next to it, which again i can sympathize with and am not necessarily above this, but it’s a one or two day measure not a definitive one and also i draw the line at spillover and/or broken or and/or multiple such bags

the problem is like

this is addressable if i simply address it, right. just take the damn garbage out and just deal with the sink and lo the kitchen will be serviceable if not optimal. you can’t expect other people to change but these tasks are in theory not a big whoop

two issues, however

one: eye have a nope field around this shit also. same fucken hat, mine’s just not as big

two: am in unfortunate brainworm infested loop where i’m like “see, a woman would simply clean the kitchen, either with or without complaining about it the whole time.” and like. A: what the fuck is that thought and why is it a constant battle rooting out bits of gender essentialism from under furniture in the mind palace, shoo, begone B: i’m not a woman C: but socialization … B: which obviously didn’t take, look at the state of us C: yes, we appear to have settled at the worst possible venn diagram gender interface where we have both the magnificent aversion and ability to ignore AND also the societally instilled guilt and shame about it D. both you fuckers stfu, the actual problem we have here is that roommate does actually perceive me as a guy and i am super not interested in behaving in ways that might change that? and like. i don’t make the rules or personally put the gender essentialist gremlins in the baseboards. but here we are. so how about that situation for a laugh

reasonably sure if the kitchen were nice i would feel okay about living here. it’s just too much of a dial-up on squalor. i’m aiming at something more like genteel decay. i recognize that that distinction can’t be relied on, but idk can i maybe have any honeymoon period like at all, ffs

anyway the real answer is obviously to hire my cleaner to fix it, he already fixed the bathroom and it’s gr9. the kitchen is more problematic though. like the bathroom is much more maintainable than the kitchen which will fuck itself in the ass in like two days. idk. all of this would be easier if i got fucking paid ever :)

IMAGES: F-35B fighters in "beast mode" aboard HMS Prince of Wales

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/26/2023 - 11:00am in Military

On board the deck of the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, on the east coast of the U.S., a fully loaded F-35B, to the fullest, is helping the Royal Navy's attack force develop Lightning capability.

The F-35 armed with the maximum capacity of weapons is known in aviation jargon as "bow mode": each pillar occupied by a weapon and the internal compartment of crowded bombs.

Fully charged, the F-35B can provide 22,000 pounds of destructive and defensive power: air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and conventional and laser-guided bombs.

If you are trying to imagine a payload of 22,000 pounds... it is the equivalent of the heaviest bomb carried by a World War II Lancaster bomber (the Grand Slam or "earthquake" bomb).

And it is almost three times more than the last attack plane embarked on a UK aircraft carrier, the Harrier GR9, more than a decade ago.

In this case, the specially modified F-35B of the U.S. Navy Integrated Test Force was loaded with a combination of 500-pound Paveway IV laser-guided inert bombs and 1,000-pound inert Paveways in the weapons compartment.

To date, the F-35 have detaculated from the 350-foot mark on deck (approximately aligned with the end of the front island).

Depending on a number of factors (including weather, wind on deck, humidity), a fully charged Lightning may need a full run to the ski jump to take off... which means starting all the way back at the 850-foot mark... not far from the rear end of the cockpit.

It is the first time that a complete preparation has been tested on any of the aircraft carriers. And it is also the first bomb (although inert, practical models) to be launched by aircraft launched from HMS Prince of Wales.

The Captain of Flight Deck Pet Officer 1 John Etherington - who has experience in deck operations on American Nimitz-class aircraft carriers - was the sailor who gave the authorization to the pilots.

"It was impressive to launch the jet, all full of bombs, from the back of the cockpit," he said. “It's exciting to see us pushing the boundaries of UK naval aviation.”

In control of the F-35 in beast mode were the pilots of the U.S. Marine Corps, Major Paul Gucwa, and Lieutenant Colonel Mike Lippert.

This is the fourth time the latter has worked with the UK aircraft carrier force - three times helping HMS Queen Elizabeth develop its Lightning capability, now with the Prince of Wales.

“It is a pleasure to see the continuous progress in operational capacity – there has been undeniable growth and progress,” he said.

“Major Gucwa and I had great pleasure in continuing to expand the combat capability of Britain's largest warship. We were a small part of an immense multifunctional and integrated team that covered every corner of the ship, the mission control rooms of the F-35 ITF and our worldwide partnership with the F-35 Lightning II - all focused on increasing the interoperability and lethality of our frontline fighter."

Then, the tests of the F-35 ship off the US will carry out continuous landings (instead of standard verticals), first without armaments, then with.

chat is it normal for a gr11 boy to come up to you but youre literally in gr9 and say he has feelings for you but even tho we haven’t met before?

i’m p sure he was serious about it too..

-🪼

i think that is definitely creepy and rlly weird😭 not only abt the grade difference (i know it’s 2 years and that’s like fine but it’s about the mindset difference like esp being like 14 and like 16/17)

if he was being serious i think he needs to do something else with his life than professing his love to ppl he doesn’t even know LMFAO

[tuxedokit]

If you could relive any of your memories, which would it be?

weve been mulling this over like all day but we have so many good ones from this lifetime its hard to decide. im gonna ask around and we'll compile the best ones here - [AR] Autopilot 💾

last summer on our familys annual beach vacation we did shrooms and saw through the fabric of the universe and befriended The Horrors. that was pretty cool. id like to relive being high off my gourd stargazing in a place with such little light pollution - Starlight 🌌

im gonna say when we were in tennessee like almost 2 years ago. we had flown out to visit our friend (now qpp & partner system) seepy and heart's so small they're shorter than us and i dunno it was the first time doing something like that and she was so small in my arms and i could honestly have just held him forever. i love you seeps ◇ - Carpet ✨️

yesterday for our friend bears birthday we went to an enchanted forest escape room and it was so well put together and ethereal and it was the best 40 minutes of my life in this physical realm ive never felt so at home. there were puzzles and mushrooms and music and gnomes and my bestest friends were right there too!!! oh it was so wonderful - Sayakura 🧚‍♀️

confessing to luci. nuff said. but i wanna say more so im gonna: it was me realizing i was in love at the same time as confessing cause i kinda just asked for advice in a group server w them fdsgjsksl. we were already qpps and apparently my family thought we were already dating (i mean we called beem our soulmate like - ✨️) but like i wound up spending the whole afternoon just thinking about them and being giddy. it was nice - Luna 🌙

mine's gotta be the first time we climbed that abandoned water tower past the ravine. we had spraycans and i wrote trans rights on the side of it. the wind gave us such a thrill, it was incredible. and the view was definitely worth it - Waks 📹

im claiming that time in grade 11 when our gr9 science teacher + gr11-12 bio teacher mr coulter approached me and asked if i wanted to go on a field trip to the science centre that was intended for the grade 12 kids. i didnt know anyone but i didnt care bc mr coulter was there and i wore my new animaniacs shirt and i got to run around the science centre itself during the lunch break and play with genetics stuff (i was such a nerd about punett squares and all that its no wonder he asked me specifically). i think the best part was the feeling i had when i was sitting next to mr coulter on the bus ride there and back. he let me take a selfie with him.... mr coulter was like a father to me, so it meant a lot. - Quinn ✉️

i wanna relive when we were playing with shanny and teagsi and we climbed the big tree near the ice rink by our school. i used to read up there too :) - Little One 👾

the body's nanna flew us out to grenada in march... i would like to relive swimming at that beach, on that little island in carriacou. the water was clear and a such beautiful blue, the air was just a little too warm and humid, and sitting on that beach reminded me of my old home - Riku/Shore ⚔️

mine's gotta be the second year we went to camp mini yo we! specifically, reading the letters mom wrote me for each day of the week. she wrote a little story about me; i was the doctor's daughter but i didnt know it, and i had powers that warped me through space and time seemingly at random. she wrote that i found a place and led a revolution against tyrannical oppressive overlords. not single-handedly taking down the villains, but helping empower the people so they could fight for themselves. by the end of the week we had found a crowd of invested listeners in the other girls at camp. it was nice... i think about those letters a lot - Secret 🧩

we were bodily sitting alone in the grass at a local park, it was right as we were discovering our plurality. i could see all of us all over the park, as if we were all there. the kids were playing tag, some were poking around in the forest right there, quinn was in that big tree we like to sit under... scrooge and quinslap were off smoking a joint, sitting on a tree trunk that had grown a little horizontal before it remembered to grow up. it wasnt in our view but we know the path and it was in the area enough that they could be there while our body simply sat in the grass. it was a fascinating and beautiful feeling. like a family picnic, but with only one person present. - [AR] Autopilot 💾

might add more later

[agirlwithachakram]

madame web was fine. kinda interesting. I like the concept of a super whose powers aren't punchkickincinerate. paramedic is a great superhero alter ego job. the spider stuff is a lil silly but that's okay! I like campy stuff. and gruff awkward loner who is SO not interested in children falling face first into a situation where they have to protect teenage girl(s) is gr9 and I'm glad to see it being a woman this time. (yeah, birds of prey, but Harley isn't gruff. or particularly a loner, even if she's lonely.)

some of the dialogue needed a few more passes, and dakota johnson isn't a super strong actor, but she does okay. it helps that the guy playing the villain is uh. weird. his acting style is weird, I'm not really sure what he's doing there. anyway, it works fine, unlike mismatched morbius where Matt Smith is giving it all she's got cap'n and Jared Leto is like "wait what's acting? I'm too pretty for that."

it's on netflix. it's not bad!

sdcc 2023 highlights (for me)

marco checchetto thor sketch <3<3<3 i'm still not over it. He was lovely in general, and the care and time he put into that drawing i'm just jashdgjklahsjlkdghajkd

hearing JMS utterly drag the whole concept of AI writing. Very heartening.

honestly both the JMS panels i saw were gr9, he's just really fun and enlightening to listen to

meeting chuck tingle

actually the horror panel Dr. Tingle was on was a lot of fun. among other things, a point was made about the similarities of horror, humor, and erotica writing in that they're all considered low-brow and generally disrespected but they're also all very visceral and dealing with deep emotional stuff and, yeah.

finally getting to debut the brand-new AoA Loki trio, result of literally months of work largely by me, and also getting to take out the amazing scepter prop gifted to me recently by @lady-of-misrule

a handful of lovely thor cosplayers to our lokis. (why is it that big dudes joyfully cosplaying Fat Thor do more justice to the character than Hemsworth in the worst fat suit that anyone has ever created? forget I asked, we know why.)

some good photo shoots in general, gotta share some of those pics at some point

hearing from the folks at the TORn booth that there is a Rohirrim show in the works that will be NOT Amazon-made and will have PJ's involvement in some capacity, so... some hope there I guess?

running into several friends and acquaintances. which seems to happen way more often than it should given how huge an event it is?

and lowlights:

IF ONE MORE FUCKIN PERSON REFERS TO MY OBVIOUSLY CAREFULLY CRAFTED COMICS LOKI COSPLAYS AS "VARIANTS" I'M CRACKING SKULLS. This goes double to the people with the TVA display setup who tried to get us to come take pics at their booth and were so shocked and appalled when we turned on our heels and said absolutely fucking not. sorry not sorry that i told them to read some damn comics.

the cops kicked out the taco truck that always used to set up behind the convention center. they took away my cheap and tasty california burritos and left me with overpriced mediocre convention pizza. fuckin bastards. I swear, the security lady who told us why the taco truck wasn't there was right: it was probably because they were offering an affordable alternative.

just about sweating to death before the weather finally cooled down a bit, but even then it was muggy as hell and actually rained in San Diego in July like wut

[I really love your Bumblebee, because he's not just this happy kid without a care in the world; he's /extremely/ screwed up mentally. He's so worried about so many different things, and he's so scared and feels so expendable, but yet he still keeps going. He keeps trying, and he keeps fighting, and no matter what he still cares and also he's the biggest shitposter and it's gr9]

[devoutpriest]

I think I might buy fried fish and chips at seafood stall, probably before or after I go to coles, soon. With chicken salt, as I like how it tastes. One of the times I went there, I walking there with using TripView, a moment that stuck out to me was I asking for that kind of salt on my chips, and I said it pretty softly, and they were a bit annoyed, yet i then said it louder.

I discovered a lot of new music this year, it blurring a bit in taste the year before / and before that. it is surprising skin of a saint is the first one on my spotif.y wrapp.ed, even though he with the butterfly on his nose was interesting, as it showed up on my app. I thought Livingston would be, as Athelstan era. *shrugs* Oh I love Sebastian Schub so much atm!

i am thankful for the nice reception athelstan received in the vikings community, he means a lot to me. I found him really interesting, I watching Vikings initially because of George Blagden, yet I found his journey interesting, I found his visions and his belief of Christ and Norse interesting.

I am thankful I found the Catholic Youth bible that eluded me in 2015 (when I first wrote him — so, my tangent of memory from living life especially in high school & what I felt from the show & looking at bible verses online), my high school bible that I learned a lot about Jesus.

I liked the bible, when I was in high school, yet okay, I quite hated Religion Class, ironically. -laughs- I liked watching Prince of Egypt in class. For Year 11 & 12, it ended up being life skills for me and Juliette. No HSC for that, just for English, which was gr9. <3 I heard bad stories about HSC, during my time at school, because students are so stressed they.. y’know. there literally is a bridge I walk across to go to school, stretching over the road. Hmm, well, Year 7 - 10 was stressful as it is.

I could understand about The Gospel of St John, and the Letters, in its beautiful papyrus smell in an olden day-esque backing, which I understand Athelstan had at the time, when he was painting at the monastery. So I touched a bit upon what his mind was like with that belief rememberance, as well as when he sub-consciously remembers other excerpts from religiously reading throughout his time living there. And of course, when he is with Ecbert at England.

I am glad I decided to have miles heizer here as a modern athelstan, as he was living on my multimuse. modern and historical lives in me, though, and I am mainly on here & sansa, as a clear window, of understanding where I am on my personal living discord. so with my phone note discord, I can talk either ic or ooc on sansa and athelstan in some colours of brilliance, which I outlined a bit in clear chronological, which watching TV / YT / Spotify / just natural air helps. Oh also, I could sometimes pop in on actual discord too, ( yet that is less predictable as I needed that for so long, just to know myself & reality ) as it is one clear space (well, more than one space, but still just one app) to centre me. I am just invisible now, so even if i am actually on there or not, I am okay with knowing what it is, as well as it being in the background at times in my life. So grey area, crow fluttering.

i could continue stories on S & A, referencing from when I felt at peace with them living on my mumu ( they would originally stay as they are ). another reason, well, that I need miles here as a visual remember as I live my life in the present, is that alex standall is struggling to just live life in this modern world ( he is ‘nice’ with his soft voice and jess says he is quiet yet I see his anger ), and I also see in general that shy sensitive boys remind me of athelstan. for example, singers like alec benjamin sing in a high sweet ballad voice & is hurting yet then I literally just see him in a car and eating a sandwich and singing to people on the street.

I talked to my friend luuk, who does asmr. I watched the glasses one all the way through again on my iPhone 8 Plus, it a bit weird of his whispering. He’s cool.

I am thankful my friend invited me to a certain discord, as I needed that medication supplement. I spoke a little there, that helping with the ❌ in my brain. people are nice. I know a certain person has been really cruel for a long time ( yet okay - I needed a perspective email window ), mocking me as I try and try to be good, as I try and try to live my life, as I see specific rule guides that come into mind, they were haunting me, like billing / card & signature guideline. I was coughing really bad, and my brain felt like it was splitting / trying to not make me, well, die. I felt hot and cold sensation, I needing to touch the bathroom wall when I was showering, to steady me. I felt this dull indignancy of my body, which I needed to watch youtube on my 8 plus, like GOT7. I felt a bad chronic emptiness, as well as violent car crash dreams and people shooting me. I felt I was barely holding on in the world, I would be gone in the next second. okay, im describing different moments in time here, but you know. I know that was only one person at specific times in my life, yet the ensnarement was bad, affecting me and my judgement. It is also fucking evil how my surroundings treated me badly in its external validation / gaslighting / relatable stories, as I gasp for breath and my brain whirring to understand, while treating me like an anonymous insect fly, I feeling like my brain is like sour worms, with its scattered disarray. Yet I have user-run windows / could have one, now too, so that helps me breathe, to communicate better, even just a little to literally anyone in my vicinity, so the relational comm is not as bad. i need my natural surroundings to stay, okay, yet I have my tools for knowing my reality with that, so… -sighs- HMmm, I see you say I am a leftist, I fought to build my house with community building tools, and acknowledged / am so kind and nice to them too. So, I see on a site that explains quite clearly about catfi.shing, and speaking specifically about posts and messages in which one generally tries to live their life with hobbies. So for example, someone might receive a message or post they see on some site I’m trying to express myself in and post in their little clique in its context as it is + as well as surrounding links, as I noted in my little things observations ( stemming a lot on my mumu & fb initially ) as I was literally in fairytale television land / not understanding reality / drowning in terror of my whole life especially && I just…am known as that simply now ; yet just I hopefully calmer regaining my balance in the world. Just know, I say to myself, the little things observations article does portray by itself how scared and knowing I was of that very real conspiracy.

I also touched upon my very long disjointed jigsaw phone bookmarks that were the in the moment / aftermath of a site’s uprising ( I panicking and not understanding the settlement of my body of just really being with community after overworking for so long in silence ) in internal and external operation of my personal discord, as well as just mentioning their alreadied presence.

Interesting take re: the show hitting its stride in season two… I mean Jerome was great but like. Fish is mostly in S1 and that’s where she really SHINES 😩 when you said “fish is my actual mother who birthed me” I felt that in my SOUL. She’s SO GOOD. Like sorry I know it’s the Ozzie and Eddie show but Fiiiiiiiish. I’m like Firefly’s shitty brothers about her.

Granted Lee is gr9 so. And she mostly shows up in S2 iirc, which, fine, fair. She was good even BEFORE she became a crime queen but god she was SO GOOD after!!! But then S5 seemed to relegate her back to Gordon wife????? Wrong and bad and dumb. HOWEVER I do like the idea of her and Babs in a really awful toxic throuple where they co-parent Jim’s kid and technically both date Jim but he’s not around much so they’re mostly dating each other I mean they don’t really like each other but they have SO MUCH IN COMMON come on it would be funny. You know it would. And it would be FUN. And interesting!!!

oh, don't get me wrong, it's not that I think we should throw all of season 1 in the trash! the establishment of Fish and Oswald alone + the examination of the workings of the criminal underworld (always fascinating in Gotham, part of why I really like the Penguin HBO series even though it's so unnecessary lol) + Jerome's origin make it valuable viewing. It's just that I think the show was confused about what it was and wanted to do, and the tone is markedly different from what follows. There's a sense that they wanted to play it straight, like a grimdark detective show, where Bruce Wayne is firmly just a little kid and Batman and all his Rogues are firmly ten, twenty years away from taking the forms we're familiar with.

They ditched all that pretty quickly and just went for a sillier, comic book-inspired approach where Bruce is a kid but also still Batman, kind of, and his villains are all taking their final forms well ahead of schedule (I don't blame them-- Batman without Batman or his Rogues is pretty dry). TBH, I give Barbara QUEEN credit for sort of "unlocking" the show-- it's fairly blah in large chunks until her little serial killer arc, straight out of a soap opera, and from that point on, the show completely stops taking itself seriously, which IMO is hugely to its advantage.

You're right about Fish, though. (One of my favorite things about Unpretty's Sorrowful and Immaculate Hearts series is the way she kind of picks and chooses elements from whatever Batman media she likes, and it is strongly implied that in her version of Batman, Fish-- a friend of Martha Wayne's dating back to childhood-- birthed a child, gave her up for adoption, and that child later becomes Catwoman. I think about it all the time-- what a clever tie-in.) And Lee, and Barbara. One thing the show does not struggle with is having interesting female characters who get to do a lot, even if it REGULARLY does them dirty-- case in point, LEE AND BARBARA BOTH IN SEASON FIVE. You're right, Lee gets shoved into the "cop wife" role even though it makes no sense, and what tf is with Barbara getting pregnant and completely defanged?? no. no, no, no. one of the reasons I'm writing a third Gotham fic set in No Man's Land is so I can undo some of the baffling shit that happened in season 5 (blaming it on a rushed schedule and an abbreviated number of episodes, thank youuuuu).

Lee and Barbara would make a good couple (leave Gordon out of it he doesn't deserve either of them lol) if they didn't hate each other! but let's be real, in a place like Gotham, a long-standing rivalry is basically a romance. I seem to remember them even burying the hatchet a bit in season 5, just because old grievances tend to take a backseat in No Man's Land. (I cannot wait to write the story set in No Man's Land.)

So.... um.... did I mention that I'm back on my transformers bullshit? Because I am... unwell.

(Thundercracker and the kittens for distraction because I didn't take photos but I will be talking a lot lol)

So, this morning we got up at 7am (I usually sleep til 10, my sister til 2pm) and drove into Phoenix to get our covid and flu vaccines. Ever since the pandemic ""ended"" it's been really hard to get vaccines without insurance. But we did that, and then came drive back home to see Transformers One in the theatre, and fuuuuuuuuuuuck is it so extremely my thing. I didn't know anything about it going in; I haven't kept up with the franchise, but holy slagging Primus was this movie gr9! (I was trying to explain to my sister about the different continuities and the various origin stories I remember, but when someone doesn't share your hyperfixation, you gotta make sure not to infodump enough that the only person who talks to you murders you. I also haven't really read anything since MTMTE, so...)

It's also the first movie I've seen in a proper theatre since... Detective Pikachu? I did see FNaF at the dollar cinema, but other than that it's been... a while. I brought Rodimus to keep my company (read: keep me quiet), and I loved the fuck out of it. It was so hard not talking the whole time, and that did not stop me from thumbs-downing Sentinel when he showed up for the first time (eternal hater, yo), and squeeing embarrassingly when things got tense or they said a line from the comics/show I remembered, and pointing at the background Bots when I saw one I recognized (I see you, Wheeljack and Coneheads and my girl Arcee). Basically I am the worst person to see a Transformers movie with, but I really, really liked it.

I could literally talk about this movie for hours, but my sister, even though she liked it too, isn't as... fanatically obsessed with the franchise as I am, although she did buy me this Thundercracker! He's always been my favorite, and I'm all for any of the elite trine 🫨

He's... a little shorter than Roddi... Also yes there is a boob and a dick in that photo, wow. I'm safe for work.

I do plan on repainting him a little (I found some of my old repaints, including when I made Prime Starscream his trinemates, since again, TC is bae), but for now he's a nice souvenir of free vaccines and not free movies. And mental illness 🥰🥰🥰

Anyway, about the babies: they got neutered this week! It's the last thing they're in for until a checkup in a couple months, so now we just need to keep them calm and not jumping and scratching and fucking fighting each other all the time. Ahem.

So yeah. As I said: my bullshit, I am on it. I've been reading my decade old fanfics, and some of them are actually pretty fun to reread (and some are so cringe my eyes start bleeding. Cringe is dead, but so am I). I also kinda want to get back into drawing these fraggers. I was doodling at breakfast and ended up with a Seeker, so it's still in there. Anyway, bai~~~
