the way the ericson group were at the outbreak just a bunch of troubled kids who made various mistakes or committed crimes and were judged by a system that punished and abandoned them instead of giving them the support and love they needed, are then nearly a decade later put into a situation where now they must judge a troubled child for the mistakes and crimes hes committed against them. and 5 to 3 vote them out 😭

what do you like about Suns the most?

they have a sun motif and they/them pronouns i think thats what got me HAHAHA. nah but morally grey characters go ham for me, like look at that dude just look at them. they get mischaracterized so often and it makes me fall to the floor in agony but thats part of the fun. but also the sun motif......

also i dont think i could pick a favorite. all their lines are so interesting to me and i didnt realize a walking calculator could be so airheaded (probably not the right word but i hope you understand) and out of touch sometimes conversation wise like uhmmm ok pal. i mean this in the nicest way possible but i think you got something....

but i guess them talking about being worried for spearmaster to nsh gets me in the feels. they love their cat sooo much it hurts i can never draw them without spears anymore

anyways take these doodles from awhile ago i love them

i hate to break it to you, millennials, but gen z does, in fact, know what dvds and cds are. we grew up with them. we grew up with a lot of stuff y'all obsess over, actually. not my fault all the tech companies collectively decided to get rid of dvd players

Horizon Zero Dawn spoilers but I don't think I can ever really be over Zero Dawn as a project and the truth behind Operation Enduring Victory and just everything it amounted to.

Like at the end of the fucking world, a year and change left to live, and a group of people dedicated that time to making sure Earth could have some manner of future. That even though everyone still alive had to suffer for one company's greed and stupidity there could still be something *someday*. It's such a testament to the part of humanity that wishes the best for its successors even if they can't ever gain from that 'best'. But on the flipside the secrecy that Zero Dawn had to exist under because they knew that no one wants to fight a hopeless war, not to mention the fact that people that worked on Zero Dawn were promised time with their families before everything really ended, it's sad but I have to argue that *surely* some people knew. Even if they didn't want to believe it or think about it had to see what they were up against or engage in one battle and realize just what was happening, and still have to have hoped there was something they had planned. And how Zero Dawn worked, technically. It gave humanity a new chance. Even if it's not all they intended, there are plants and animals and people and they're really living. They have such a rich culture so separate and so entangled with the old world and even if it's 'wrong' I know those that fought for Enduring Victory and worked on Zero Dawn would be glad something good came from all that effort.

And the cradle facility you visit kills me. Apollo failed and they couldn't enter and they could never *learn*, they could never grow past those lessons meant for children, and the servitors couldn't learn to treat them like adults because they were still children. They grew without ever learning anything new and they couldn't even know *why* because they were never taught how to handle that grief and the servitors saw them as kids you can't tell that kind of thing to. You can't tell them that they're the children of a lost species that's been dead for centuries but loved them so so much they lived and died for them to exist. And they were let out into the world with nothing! Their first time seeing the sun and yet it was cold and they were hungry. Everything was new and terrifying and they had to be so angry but they still lived and they did it. They made something new. They struggled and survived. Like, fuck, man. It's so heavy.

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh

[ichthyorelationships]

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins

i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement

With the last couple years bringing us many very frustrating shows, it is so refreshing with good omens to be frustrated for the right reasons.

We're not frustrated with the writers for making nonsensical characters decisions that fit only with their vision of the show in their head and not what is actually on screen. No, we're frustrated with the characters for making perfectly understandable, in character decisions, that are only frustrating because we can see the whole picture as an objective viewer. We're never stuck going "what the fuck were they thinking" cause we can see perfectly well what they were thinking.

I don't know, it's just nice to be able to say "fuck you (affectionate)" to the creator, instead of "fuck you (derogatory)"

[parakeetpark]

I could not contain myself and asked my mother if she saw the homoeroticism in ep4 of Midnight Mass

She's so used to me now she just went "yeah definitely" and we started talking about vampires and intimacy and mused again about Anne Rice going back on her extremely gay writing

OH and we talked about that brilliant exchange where Father Paul asks Riley why he came back to the rec centre that night, and you get to see the changes in expression on both of their faces as Riley basically says 'Because you lied to me'. Wonderful stuff. Actors are so skilled at what they do

[weedle-testaburger]
