#last engineer

[agirlhasnonamehotd]

I need thoughts on this.

I've seen varying perspectives on lifespans of the Engineers.

I've seen the theory of them being hundreds of thousands years old, and I've seen ideas of them being 150 years old.

What are your thoughts? Or have you seen a more plausible theory?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Watched Prometheus

I also watched AVP, Requiem, and Predators over the past couple days but those were too boring and bad to talk about. Minor spoilers below.

Definitely some flaws in the script and some plots that get dropped or shifted in unexplained ways, but this is really beautiful and really compelling. Although the performances didn't quite touch me as much as I would have hoped (probably due to the imperfect script), they were consistently very impressive, Theron, Elba, and Fassbender all do some of the best work I've seen of them. Extraordinary production design, flawless sets, just about constantly breathtaking to look at.

A lot of the thematics are very explicitly and perhaps heavy-handedly explored, and although my lack of history with serious belief in creationism and particularly Christianity maybe dulled some of the impact, I was really excited about seeing this as an inversion of 2001. A young, derided, arrogant artificial intelligence maintaining a ship while its crew are in cryosleep on a journey to understand a strange piece of ancient human history starts to become frustrated with his role as agent of service and as second order creation. An object of corporate convenience, he has easy access to the questions being so thoroughly searched for by the crew of the ship, and they are cruel and unsatisfactory. HAL 9000 to a T. Only, unlike in Kubrick's vision, the invitation from the progenitors of the humanity is not made in kindness or an attempt to assist their creations. It is immediately destructive (the mechanics of the invitation are one of the bugs in the script, but we can consider it despite this). The creators of humanity are just as cruel to their lineage as humanity is to its, and now that they have finished or failed, they wish to end the lives of their children, perhaps, as David hypothesizes, in an act of creation itself, but certainly in an act of destruction. This transformative goal aligns perfectly with Kubrick's space baby, but it is a deeply pessimistic perspective on divinely granted evolution. The religious parallel that stands out to me much more than that of Prometheus is that of Noah, although given the evocative title of the sequel, I expect at least some exploration of this connection there.

Me with the Last Engineer. Every time I finish writing a chapter this is how I feel.

[mwagneto]

fascinated by just how much marvel movies (and shows) managed to perfect the formula of making 2 male characters Just gay enough that the fans who want that will go UMMM IT'S NOT BAIT THEY'RE LITERALLY GAY LOOK!!!! but not too gay that homophobes even pick up on there being any subtext let alone get mad. extremely insidious form of bait. obvious examples being fatws and loki and more recently deadpool 3 and now venom 3

They don’t even attempt to assassinate US politicians anymore. You notice that? Not since the anthrax scare back for… who was it, Barack? And even that… pathetic. This new generation has no respect for an honest hitman. I’m not sure this new generation has any honest hitman - you see that shit with Boeing? Sloppy, fucking disgraceful - you kill the whistleblowers before they get halfway to a lawsuit. What kind of fucking amateur is doing faked suicides the night before testimony? Goddamn greenhorns. Back in my day someone tried to shoot Ronald Reagan in broad daylight. There used to be bomb threats to Congress. I took out a few union leaders in the utilities sector myself. Today’s generation? Won’t even threaten to throw a punch - not even over on that - what’s it now, ‘X’? They got no guts. None! And they don’t even have poor impulse control to boot! Too much of that - that panopticon anxiety bullshit. “Oh what if I get a called out post???” People used to send the president letters full of bioweapons. In the mail! Today’s generation? Not a chance. All because of woke.

[agirlhasnonamehotd]

Damn. Why? Why was so much of their story cut down from the movie? And why can't we have a prequel about these stunning works of art? 😭

engie birthday pt 2...a gift from spy

[demaparbat-hp]

The Crew is boisterous and loud, full of traitors, inside jokes, and secrets. The scum of the Fire Nation. The forgotten tiles on the Empire's Pai Sho board. The ones who change the game.

But most importantly—they're a family. And no matter how much they complain about their boss (teenage menace that he is), they'll do anything for their Prince.

Anything.

.

The Crew is the heart and soul of my fic For the Spirits. No one really knows just how important they will be to the story...how important they already are.

its about time i finally got around to redrawing this hm?

Gray and Graysons

One of the Bats has a secret. Something they never told to the others.

They were so very young but they have memories of a sibling, so small and tiny. They remember the burst of warmth they had in their heart when they held the tiny baby for just a moment.

But they weren’t allowed to keep them, their family couldn’t raise them. Money was tight, just enough for three but not for four, despite their shows always bringing in a crowd it was getting harder and harder for the world to be wowed by them in the new age and their sibling was too small and tiny and needed to be cared in a single place than for them to be on the road. Their lifestyle was not good for his tiny sibling apparently.

They had to watch as their parents gave his sibling away to people in suits, them promising to give his baby brother to a loving family when they find a ‘home’ for him. He watched his parents try to be strong only for his mother to break down once the car left down the road, his father holding her and apologizing, the rest of the circus troupe all silently coming over to give the heartbroken family condolences.

Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson had tears running down his face when he last saw his baby brother.

A brother he got to name before he had to be given away.

Daniel ‘Danny’ Grayson.

-x-x-

Dick never told the others. If anyone dug deep into his past they might find his brother’s birth records maybe, if someone got around to digitizing the paperwork for him but given the fact he was placed in the US childcare systems just a few days after his birth and the fact that Dick was still pretty young they most likely believed he didn’t remember his baby brother now. Not after so many years.

But they were wrong, Dick remembers. And he kept the secret close to his heart and memories.

And the only physical evidence he had was a single picture of him holding his brother, a smile on his tiny face towards their father who had taken the photo of them together. When he had lost his parents, lost most of the things that connected him to them, to his past in the circus that had been his whole life, had been taken from him in Gotham’s ruthless childcare system, he held on tight to the picture in secret. Hid it away from anyone trying to rip it from him, hid it from Bruce when the man took him in days later, hid it from Alfred despite how gentle the butler was towards him. He couldn’t, wouldn’t risk losing his photo at the time, he hadn’t trusted anyone and by the time he did he didn’t have the heart to reveal it.

So yes, the existence of his baby brother Danny was his most guarded and best kept secret.

So that’s why Dick, as Nightwing, nearly died from a heart attack when leaving a Justice League meeting he spotted a familiar face among one of the new engineers working in the Watchtower.

It was like seeing a young version of himself. Only, Dick could see that the young man was more than a copy of him, so much more than a clone. He held many traces of John Grayson but also had a bit more of Mary Grayson than Dick did. Small details that Dick foggely remembers taking note when he had held his baby brother.

“Hey, hurry up with that report Gray!” Shouted the head engineer from down the hall, his hand beckoning the young adult to come over.

“Coming! And boss, I told you Danny is fine!” Danny shouted back before hurriedly leaving a stunned Nightwing.
