#i have several thoughts

[lizasweetling]

I have since concluded that Bang may have gotten a head start on Agatha heading to Gil and Co while Agatha was sleeping off donating IGQueeniness to Albia

which leaves the question of why. With her notariety, she could probably conquer/commandeer any vessel between the two points, so How it easy, but she quit working for Wulfenbach. Like formally. So this is not a professional obligation-

so I must speculate that she went to go make sure her semi-adopted little brother wasn't digging into a hole he couldn't get out of nor being buried.

which is remarkably sweet, for her.

also some implications of how polar infantry is treated when they surrender (thaw like 'stop being frozen' or like 'stew in your abandonment and helplessness') but for now it's too vague to conclude.

and they implied Tarvek swan dived off an airship to escape this woman at one point and she stabbed him in the past- what? Week?? which lightly implies he really, really took that little performance Agatha did for Bang to heart. She can't maim him now, his girlfriend would vaporize her <3

(then again he's also... got a lot of practice working near and catering to maniacs that probably won't right now but very much would be willing to kill him. Several years with his father's obsession and the interpolitics of the geisters under Vrin, and then a very stressful several days with Lu.)

If I had a dollar for every time a smart, red-eyed blue man made their debut in live action, or finally got their own show and was horrendously let down by the writers that probably didn't look at current canon content and overall did a bad job with their characterisation etc etc, I would have two dollars.

back whenever i rped the trio some years ago, one of my rp partners at the time gave me the fantastic idea of DK!Rommath & i am thinking heavy about it this morning.

a lot of my hcs have changed since then but I think I could still make it work tbh. Imagining like. He ends up partnering up with Sylvanas (not necessarily in replace of Nathanos but ends up being similar in status? if that makes sense) since he can relate to her at that time.

I think both lor & hal would be DEVASTATED to learn that rom died & then got turned for the purpose of the scourge. not only did they lose sylv but now also him too? lor def has a vendetta against arthas now.

Dumb thing that would not leave my brain

need to string together my thoughts more on this but reeeeeally interesting to see the influx of media - severance, the substance, mickey 17 - centered on the idea of a double/expendable iteration of yourself.

the dehumanization of workers by the way of non-livable wages, unsafe working conditions, and identity based discrimination (and the current removal of dei initiatives), all drive a wedge between our personhood and the value we are prescribed as a member of the workforce. something something the effects of ai and deepfakes already putting people in danger, the way we live and present our lives online vs in reality, there’s a lot to unpack here. but it’s fascinating to see this trope so widely translated as a storytelling vehicle for these ideas, and that this is the story that people are interested in telling.

honestly my mother was a huge champ about her eight-year-old asking to be bought an unabridged edition of the Odyssey for a birthday present, and then she was an equally huge champ about reading her eight-year-old the unabridged Odyssey as a bedtime story and pausing every four lines to define something for me, and let me just say that I have fucking TREASURED the opportunity to reverse that old tradition by more or less forcing her to sit on my couch and listen to Epic and pause it every four lines for my dissertation

the essays i could write about mark and the repression of his grief and the way this episode feels like a thesis of that because of his reaction at the irv memorial and you could argue that denial is a core part of mark no matter how much of his memories you rip out and how he will never be whole unless he comes to terms with what’s happened to him

irving on the phone with what I assume is some radical anti lumon group talking about "my innie got my message" is so so funny. girl he doesn't care about the goo he has a married man to fuck

[andrew-dramaqueen-minyard]

Jean about Neil and Kevin basically: I am intrinsically linked to them, they are me and I am them in some way, I would trust them with my life and would go to the ends of the earth if they asked me to, our fates and souls are intertwined, they are my Achilles heel and I could and would not exist in a world without them in it.

Also Jean: ew no, they’re not my friends, have you met them? Insufferable and annoying.

Every time you find yourself here, it’s because you chose to come back.

The civilization trapped in an ice meteorite.

Superman, after saving the earth from another earth ending bomb, breeze through space, were glowing clouds of gas and dust known as a planetary nebula floated around aimlessly with glowing green dwarf particles as if a solar system was sucked into, but there only lays a sun and 7 planets here before before something caught his eye.

A pusling aimlessly floating ball like metorite full of frozen white ice with green dipped in the bottom in the middle of space. The pulsing glow flickers like a couple of very slow heartbeats.

Superman used his x ray vision to see inside, and what he saw immediately immediately griped the ice and speed flew over through back to the Watchtower which was not far from here.

Superman spoke in the coms of his oxygen mask to the Watchtower.

"Open the space entrance gates, and someone calls in Beatriz Da Costa. I found a floating town trapped in metorite ice with what seems civilians' insides." Superman spoke in the coms as he pushed the metorite carefully toward the watchtower, unaware of the gigantic glowing transparent being with 8 neon green eyes staring at him wrapped around the ice metorite like a Serpent to it's eggs.

I used to think it would take a monster to put someone in a place like that office. Especially if the person was himself. But we're not monsters, Mark. Not real ones.

[midnightaugust]

Meh. At least he looks good.

[desolationlesbian]

thought to myself "Gemma is sort of an odd name. What's it even derived from? Short for Genevieve or something maybe?" and so I looked it up and it's. the name of Dante Alighieri's first wife. Dante's Inferno himself. the wife he married before he met beatrice. this is so stupidly on the nose I feel a little ashamed for not knowing it. ben stiller you think you're sooooo funny don't you.

the thing about the bats is that they're never lacking pockets. belt compartment, suit pocket, random reinforced lining in a glove, you name it. they've got a million gadgets and items hidden away on their person at any given time. getting them through a metal detector is a nightmare. and it's not all weapons -- it's weird multi-purpose tools, fear toxin antidotes in little vials, different clips for the grapple lines, etc.

the average person looks at a batkid and thinks they have ten, maybe fifteen items on them max. supers with x-ray or magic see a whole car's worth of items carefully layered under the various armor pieces and belts. and somehow every single bat knows where every single item is at any time. just like their dad <3
