@ingredients-of-cosmic-jellyfish

This is so not how I picture TFs carrying in general tbh bc I like to think they have a dedicated space for such so you cannot see it on them, but I did draw this shitpost at the same time when I drew the initial egg one:

So Minimus is Chicken Nugget's carrier?

... Ouch/j

He does not understand if you mean ouch as in poor sparkling with such a parent or errrr otherwise….

But yes, Minimus is carrier of Chicken Nugget, Rodimus is the sire! Chicken Nugget is my friend @potatoes-n-stuff ‘s rodimags/rodimims sparkling so he sits on the lore!

But you guys can have some doodles/shitposts I did ages ago.

My friend sent me a photo of a Fennec fox with an egg and it spurred this, sorry.

Please help poor Ratchet…

Idk if you are wanting to do smut some people are waaay into it others arent so much but like maybe if you are down for smut...

Could you do like a girl humping a stuffed animal matt got her and he catches her and finishes the job???

-🧸

the room was dimly lit, the only light provided coming from the soft glow of your bedside lamp. the giant stuffed bear matt had given you sat propped up against your pillows, its fur soft beneath your fingers. you’d been tossing and turning all night, your mind restless and your body tense with unreleased sexual frustration. without thinking much of it, you rolled over — pulling yourself onto its lap, your legs straddling it as you absentmindedly shifted your weight.

the small movement sent a shiver down your spine, and before you realized it, you were rocking gently, your breaths coming a little quicker. the plush softness pressing against your clothed clit, coupled with the thought that matt had picked it out just for you, made your cheeks heat up — a small whimper escaping past your lips.

your eyes closed, hips picking up the pace, grinding down a little harder against the plush bear. soft moans sounded through the room, growing louder each passing second — thoughts of matt flashed through your head, wishing it was him under you instead of the bear.

you were so lost in your head that you didn’t hear the creak of the bedroom door or the soft sound of matt’s footsteps. it wasn’t until his voice broke through the haze that your eyes snapped open. your hips stopped, head turning toward him.

“enjoying yourself, sweetheart?” he teased, the sound rough — like he was enjoying the little show you were putting on. he leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest, watching you with a raised brow, a smirk plastered on his lips.

your face went hot instantly, and you scrambled to try and sit back — but he tusked, leaning off the frame and striding over to the bed where you were. “ah - you stay put baby.” he said, crawling to sit on the bed behind you, reaching out to place his hands on your hips, keeping you in place on top of the bear. “matt! i — i didn’t know you were here,” you stammered.

he hummed, “mhm, i can tell sweetheart-“ he said softly, fingers digging into your flesh. “-keep going, c’mon.” he urged, his hands starting to push and pull on your hips.

you gasped, hands gripping the stuffed animal in front of you as the friction against your clit started again. matt chuckled, leaning his head onto your shoulder as he continued to move your hips. “were you thinkin’ of me baby? wishin’ it was me instead?” he asked, his breath hot against your neck as he leaned down to press light kisses to the skin.

you moaned, nodding your head. “hm - i want words sweetheart.” he groaned, squeezing the flesh of your hips tighter as he sped up the movements. “y-yeah was.. mm - thinking of you..how you got t-this f’me.” you say breathlessly, head tipping back slightly as the pressure started to grow in your lower abdomen.

“y’like that i got it for you baby?” he teased, his kisses turning into nips against your flesh. “l-love it!” you squeaked, another moan slipping from you.

the combination of matt speaking to you and how he was moving you against something he got for you, made your stomach tighten more.

“matt.. gonna-“ your words cut of by a whine as he moved your hips more sharply against the soft fur. “mhm, i know. gonna cum for me baby? finish allll over the plush i got f’you?” he rasped, pulling away from your neck to rest his head on your shoulder once more.

you nodded, now moving your hips on your own accord with his hands still guiding you. the pleasure became too much as you ground down more, the knot snapping like a rubber band. you shuttered, moaning matt’s name loudly as you came all over the stuffed bear under you.

matt’s eyes never tore away from you, watching you come undone in front of him. “fuuck - good job baby, so good.” he praised, slowing your hips to a slow rhythm as he helped you ride out your high. once you were done, he let your hips go — your body leaning back against his chest as he slithered his arms around your middle.

your body went slack, melting into his embrace as you started to grow tired — the earlier relentless fading into exhaustion. you let out a long sigh, a small smile tugging at your lips at how content you felt.

matt smiled down at you, leaning forward to press a kiss to your temple. “maybe i’ll have to get you more at some point..” he mumbled out. and that was the last thing your heard before drifting off to sleep.

Woo! It's been a crazy week with Watcher stuff that I just want to put it all in one place (blame my neurodivergent brain) but I've tried not to make it super spoilery

-Ryan and Shane's appearance on The Rookie! Loved that it was more than a one line cameo and it was fun to see them playing themselves on a big network show with all the official Ghost Files stuff that we know and love!

-Ryan's livestream of The Rookie was another delight!

-The return of Road Files (and Shane Files lol - I wonder if the selfie stick will be there all season long)

-Get Scared Live stream that was so chaotic and fun (as expected) and I'm happy knowing it'll lead to more live events soon!

-Like Ghost Files Debriefs soon to be broadcast live on WTV!! It'll be great to see their banter unedited while they argue about ghosts

-Drink To That continues to delight and I love Steven so much. Also with that show we've gotten teases for Ghost Files Alone: Together (GF Alone Electric Boogaloo) and more Too Many Spirits soon! (I'm guessing DTT Mystery Files ep next? Then maybe DTT Travel Season? which should lead into their other news...)

-The Travel Season videos have moved to a new channel and even though we haven't had an official announcement I'm already subscribed and can't wait to see what's happening with more food content with the travel boys!!!!

I love that they're putting so much work into the streamer and promoting it on their socials, and I'm proud of them for continuing to try new things like live streams and bonus shows, to make the quality of the streamer even better! <3

I think it’s interesting, considering how most live-action superhero adaptations kill off the villains after their debut, that both The Batman and The Penguin end with the villains not just living, but set up to return and somehow cause Even Bigger Problems down the line. Is this just because it’s the first Batman film adaptation that’s a capital-F Franchise, so the writers need the villains to stick around long-term, or is something else going on?

Almost entirely comes down to the fact that The Batman was not meant to be Batman's origin story - by Reeves' own admission, it was the origin story of the Rogues Gallery. They got the Cloverfield and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes guy and he did a story about the boots-on-the-ground gritty perspective on larger-than-life terrors emerging from the ruins and failings of human civilization, taking the struggles and wars and laborious processes that others shy away from and putting them front in center. It's just this time, instead of kaijus and parasites attacking and destroying the city, instead of apes emerging as the Mad Max warlords rising from the ashes to fight over the world, we have Batman villains in that role instead.

To me, that was actually the conception - if we weren't going to do a Batman origin story, but we were going to do it in the early years, I thought well, in the comics, the rogues gallery characters often are creating their alter egos in response to the fact that a masked vigilante shows up in Gotham called the Batman.

And so I thought, oh well, what we could do is see all of the rogue's gallery characters in their origins, like Selina Kyle before she's Catwoman, and that we could go into, as we're looking for a suspect, we could go to a nightclub, a nightclub could be the Iceberg Lounge and we could see a pre-kingpin Oz, and we could see, you know, a Riddler who is declaring himself the Riddler sort of because there's a Batman. And so all of that was sort of built into the conception. - Matt Reeves

It's far from the first Batman film adaptation to be a capital-F Franchise, even if that aspect was there - Reeves initially pitched the movie as an HBO series, and throughout production pitched additional show ideas such as an Arkham show or a Gotham PD show, The Penguin being the only one that survived as far as we know. This pulls off an origin from the Rogues Gallery better than every other Batman media ever made, and there's a couple of reasons why it does so and why the villains get to take center stage here:

Part of the difference between the way Nolan tackled realistic Batman, and the way Reeves tackles realistic Batman, is that Nolan needs realism to explain Batman, and Reeves needs realism entirely in the service of making Batman weirder. Pattison Batman is the weirdest Bruce ever put on film almost entirely because he lives in our world while still being Batman in every way that counts - Keaton Bats slept upside down in a cave, but he lived in a Tim Burton world. Adam West Bats is weird, but everybody is like that or even weirder than he is, he is the comedic straightman to everyone else. And where as Nolan needs Batman to be the thing that makes sense, Reeves needs Batman to be the thing that doesn’t make sense.

Nolan wanted weird difficult irreducible villains opposite a logical pragmatically sensible Batman, and Reeves wants exactly the opposite. For Nolan, even besides the Joker who was defined entirely around the lack of a real explanation for him, you have his take on Two-Face, Bane, the Al Ghuls, characters that don't demand that much reasoning or explanation because they can act and exist in ways that defy logic, while Batman's the guy who has to hold the center of logic and reason. Where as here, Pattison Batman is the most interesting and complicated and larger-than-life figure this world is dealing with in much the same way that Ledger Joker was for his movie, and everyone else is in the position of starting out and having to deal with Batman and the paradigm shift he brings - nobody else in the movie is quite the character they were supposed to be, that's something they're all growing into in response to their nightmare city and what this titanic freak in armor represents to them.

Even The Riddler is ultimately explainable, human, reducible to his tantrums and vulnerabilities, even without you knowing in-depth his character and backstory that would be elaborated for Dano's Year One. Even The Penguin - he may be larger-than-life, he may be unexplainable on some level, but we know all too well all of his failings and feelings and life story and all the cracks in his persona that he killed Victor to try and bury. But Batman? Next to everyone else, he is still an anomaly, he is just Like That, even to his own detriment and that of the city, and he learns that he must apply being Like That to something better.

Reeves is not interested in doing "Batman vs [X]" movies, the movies are going to be focused on Batman's arc first and foremost, which means the villains will never really take them over the way they've usually done - this is a world where it's the villains who react to Batman, not the other way around. This frees them from the burden of having to exist in direct relation to how much they can directly menace Batman, and it makes it so that these are characters that can carry their own spin-offs, which is probably a lot easier for WB to work with because these are spin-offs that they don't really have to get Pattison to show up for, but they can construct in ways that don't even need Batman to be physically there. Even after The Penguin, they might not have to do that Smallville/Gotham song-and-dance of teasing a main character who'll never get to be here, there are a lot of other things happening in Reeves' Gotham besides the existence of Batman, even if the existence of Batman has changed all of them. So structurally speaking this series has a ton of room for reocurring villains, and building it has been one of their top priorities. In fact, this ONLY gets to do so because the movie already laid out the entire groundwork for them and how it all ties together.

See, the way Batman stories do the rise of a Rogues Gallery and how it affects the city and therefore Batman always follows a sort of a 7-step program:

Gotham City is ruled by crime, crime that takes away the Waynes (Falcone / Carl Grissom (89) / Falcone backed by the League (Nolan) / the Falcone-Hill-Wayne triumvirate (Telltale) / Gotham S1 and first-half of S2)

Crime begats Batman, who beats Crime

Crime + Batman = Weird Crime (Jack Napier becomes Joker after an encounter with Batman (89) / "we still haven't picked up Crane and those other Arkham inmates btw check out this weird card" (Nolan) / Black Mask and the international assassins + Joker's rise (Arkham) / Children of Arkham (Telltale) / the Indian Hill experiments and patients (Gotham)

Weird Crime Replaces Crime (The Long Halloween / Joker takes over the mob (89) / the mob is so impressed by the pencil trick they give Joker all the money (Nolan) / Joker literally replaces Black Mask in the process of becoming Batman's main enemy (Arkham) / Penguin assassinates Mayor Hill and the Children enter a war with Mayor Dent (Telltale) / Indian Hill breakout and Maniax cult and etc (Gotham)

Weird Crime is a Rogues Gallery now (Penguin and Catwoman and Max Shreck in the sequel (Burton) / Joker and Two-Face become separate problems, Bane + Talia + Crane + Catwoman in the sequel (Nolan) / after Origins a whole asylum full of them (Arkham) / Riddler + The Pact and John becoming Joker proper (Telltale) / Gotham S3 with Tetch and Riddler and the Legion of Horribles

The city is changed by the new paradigm

Batman responds / expands or retracts in response to this change

(4 and 5 don't necessarily always happen one before the other, mind you, frequently you do have a Weird Crime Rogues Gallery before Weird Crime replaces Crime at the head of the table)

And you can apply this to most other Batman stories that don't automatically start and stay at level 5. But where as all of these have to stretch the process across sequels and continuations, The Batman is the first Batman work that gets to do all 7 of them in one row. It gets 1 and 2 done offscreen before the opening act and shown to us how they happened throughout the movie's reveals, 3-4-5-6 comprise the Riddler's plot + the other United Underworld members roped into it, and it ends with 7. Even the Batmanless spin-offs follow the process: The Riddler: Year One covers Eddie's perspective on 1-2 as he enters stage 3 and prepares it for the movie, and The Penguin covers 4-5-6, leaving us waiting for Bruce's response back to stage 7 where The Batman ended.

And up until The Batman, the process behind the creation of a Rogues Gallery had never really been much of a process - comics that go into the transition like Long Halloween/Dark Victory just show the fall of Carmine Falcone -> the freaks waiting in the wings causing it or happening immediately after. Gotham tries to work that escalation gradually and it starts relatively "normal", but it's always dancing around the premise and the central black hole and the building blocks don't have anything to do with each other - the gang wars and Penguin have nothing to do with Bruce investigating a conspiracy, which has little to do with Gordon and Bullock investigating weird serial killers who keep escalating, and then eventually we get that Hugo Strange was building freaks in his basement at the orders of the Court/Ra's the whole time until they all just escape. You can piece together how Batman works that aren't about this transition ultimately touch on most of those 7 stages and have their own version of it as soon as they introduce Gotham City in a pre-Batman/pre-villain state, but the connections are always rather tenuous and not necessarily connected to each other (and it's fine, y'know, not everything in a story always has to come from the same source).

But everything in The Batman follows a long chain of dominos that had to happen for this system to become the way it needs to be for Batman villains to emerge. Everything started in that one night Thomas Waynes saved Carmine Falcone, everything started from that ensuing connection and Thomas' failures leading to a city ruled by mobsters for 20 years and the sheer level of rot and corruption and human misery that creates and justifies the existence of Batman, and thus The Riddler in his example. Everything we get in The Penguin is the result of this paradigm shift and total civic collapse, showing the destruction of Carmine's empire as well as his legacies torched and mutated by Sofia and Oz respectively. Everything is still connected. The United Underworld guys featured in the movie live and dwell in entirely separate spaces and represent entirely different things, and they're still all connected in the same chain of dominoes, which allows them to expand and cover entirely separate narrative real estate while still giving it all cohesion.

The movie never has to specifically establish a system full of supervillains or made for them, it has to establish a system so utterly fucked and dominated by Falcone, so utterly failed by every institution and body of government and system imaginable, that it creates Batman, and the minute Batman arrives and survives long enough to be a third power / a fifth state, people in his wake trying to respond to him or do the same things he does, as a response to the same afflictions he faced and to his example or influence, are the only logical thing. Without needing to literally show the other rogues waiting in the wings, The Batman established an entire world of possibility just by very smartly using the 4 big ones + Carmine and showing why and how this regular American city becomes a place where supervillains bombing city blocks and running for political office can become a facet of daily life. Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Riddler - positioned as separate from each other as possible to show the ways in which this is, and maybe always has been, spreading fast out of Batman's control.

And now with The Penguin, reinforcing the chokehold of crime in the city in it's old ways as well as the corrupt mutated new ones brought on by our boy, as well as a new Batman Villain (possibly two, if Eve Karlo ever gets her hands on suspicious make-up) arriving from Penguin's side of things so that it's not just Batman who has a Rogues Gallery to deal with, not just Batman who has terrific enemies waiting in the wings for a chance to enact their own forms of justice and revenge, no, that's just what life is like in Gotham now, forever.

protective matt hc !!

matt and chris are 100% prison for life by olivia rodrigo (unreleased) coded

he's not outwardly overprotective, it shows through subtle behaviours and body language

if you guys are walking on the sidewalk, he's on the outside (the side closest to the road)

if you ever try to walk on the outside of the sidewalk, he's quite literally grabbing your shoulders and moving you to the inside

sleeps on the side of his bed closest to the door

if you're at a party, he's passing any drinks that are made for you by other friends (it's rare that chris, nick, or matt can't make them) to chris or nick to test before you drink it.

he always carries a hoodie or stores one in the car for you, especially if you're wearing something more revealing, and it's not because he wants you to cover up, it's because he knows you get cold easily.

he's always got a hand in your back pocket if you're wearing jeans/pants with pockets, he just wants people to know he's your boyfriend without being overly affectionate

the second any guy lays a hand on you, he's in between the two of you with him behind him, he's not scared to get physical if a guy is too touchy or persistent

he made a rule one night that if he gets in a fight, nick has to shield you from the sight of him physically fighting someone, he doesn't care how but he made nick promise to not let you see that

there was one time where he was about to punch a guy but he saw you out of the corner of his eye so he picked you up, threw you over his shoulder, carried you over to nick and made nick hold you to his chest when he went back to punch the guy

he refuses to let you do any sort of heavy lifting because he doesn't want you getting hurt

if you're walking around in public, he's holding your hand and is walking slightly in front of you with one his brothers or friends walking behind you.

will literally pull your seatbelt across you if you don't put it on quick enough.

he is aware that you're capable of holding your own, he never doubts that for a second, but he always wants you to be safe and he would never be able to live with himself if something happened to you while he was around.

oh my god that camera cut to gt in the opening was brutal 😭

It was pretty rough, I agree with you, Anon. But I don't think it was rough for the most immediately apparent reason.

As we know, Georgia was doing a bit, a continuation of the opening sketch that started in the dressing room with her saying "I'm just here for the goodie bag." The camera cut was then supposed to be Georgia in the audience looking through the goodie bag, but it just didn't translate, for a number of reasons. One of the biggest ones is that it didn't come across as a "bit" because Georgia seemed like she was being herself. So if she's being "so real," right away that's going to make it that much harder for it to read as a joke or bit.

The second problem was with the visuals. The goodie bag was black, Georgia was wearing a black dress (which meant that almost all of the light in the shot was on her face), and it was dark in the audience, so from a purely visual standpoint, you couldn't see what she was holding and it looked like she was caught in the middle of going through her purse. Had she held up something from the bag and pointed to it with an exaggerated/sarcastic expression of delight, that would have been funny, and would've both shown that it was the goodie bag and that she was doing a bit, because she'd be reacting in such a different way than she normally does.

Obviously, humor is subjective, and what one person thinks is funny might not be something that something else thinks is funny. But one thing that keeps getting said is how British humor is so dry/people who aren't from the UK don't get it, and so on. There is, however, a distinct difference between dry humor and something just not being funny.

In the clips of the opening that were put out by the official BAFTA social media and the BBC, the entire segment in the dressing room is cut out, and the clip starts with David singing and walking into the auditorium. So that brings us to the third problem, which is the removal of context. Again, we know that it's a bit, but without that scene in the dressing room, the only thing the casual viewer is left with is David shouting "Lucky Georgia!" and a camera cut to her looking annoyed/unhappy and seemingly no one in the audience laughing or knowing what was going on. And I know people will say "It's a bit, people just don't get that it's a bit" but the thing is, if you have to keep explaining a joke over and over again, it's just not funny.

To be clear, I don't fault Georgia for this entirely, because whoever structured the skit (as there was undoubtedly a creative team at the BAFTAs working on the opening sketch) clearly did not think it through. Nor did the editors who put together the clip for social media, or consider what the optics would be of cutting to Georgia at that moment following that specific line of the song.

None of this is even touching on the dressing room segment itself, or how flat it was in terms of writing/energy level. But what it ultimately comes down to is that when you only have a few seconds on camera, you need to make the most of it. Especially if you don't have any lines and are trying to sell a comedic reaction.

So this just felt like a lot of missed opportunities more than anything else, and if the goal was for this year's BAFTA opening sketch to have the same rewatchability factor as last year's, it definitely fell short...

maid!reader making a stuffed toy for prince!matt (pink bunny with a ribbon on its ear)

Darling had learned sewing at a young age — both with a machine and from hand using a needle and tread.

When she had noticed how Matt cherished the little trinkets and things she’d give him — it instantly had an idea pop into her mind. She didn’t know how much he liked stuffed animals, let alone such…girly colors, but she had a feeling he’d like it anyways.

She was going to make him a soft pink bunny — one that had floppy ears and that was soft to the touch. Though…she’d just have to get the right fabric to it and the stuffing for the inside.

Slowly, she started to gather materials..that being if they came from the tailors room that had many fabric choices or if she had to spend her own money to get such. She also picked out a silk fabric to put on the underside of the bunny’s ears, along with little pink bows to go around each one.

After a few weeks of sewing and poking her fingers — and a lot of close calls with matt almost catching her — she finally got it done.

Looking at it one more time, she checked for any defects — if she messed up on any parts or if she needed to add anything. But, it looked absolutely adorable..nothing needed to be fixed.

Carefully, she slipped out of her room in the maid quarters — clutching the bunny close to her as she quickly strode through the halls of the palace. It was the middle of the night, she doesn’t even know if he would be awake. It didn’t take long to reach Matt’s bedroom — trying her best to stay quiet as the halls echoed every sound.

When she reached his door, her hand reached up — grabbing the door handle and twisting it open. Sure she didn’t knock..i’m sure he wouldn’t mind.

Opening the door, she peeked her head in, still clutching the bunny in her free one. The room wasn’t dark, in fact — Matt was sitting at his desk, nose buried in paperwork like he always was. He’s always so busy, but she knew he had obligations and duties to do.

Darling smiled, stepping in and softly closing the door behind her. The sound seemed to snap Matt from his thoughts, his head lifting and body swiveling around in his chair. Before his eyes could see her, she put the bunny behind her back.

Matt’s brows furrowed when his gaze finally landed on her, “Darling? what’re you doing here this late at night?” he asked, slowly standing up and walking toward her.

A grin spread across her face, her own feet moving to meet Matt halfway. “I uhm..i have a surprise for you.” she said, stopping in front of him as she rocked on the heels of her feet. Her blue pajamas hung loosely on her — it wasn’t a sight Matt saw much of, but he appreciated every second of it.

He quirked a brow, “A surprise? what’d you bring me this time?” his curiosity peeking through. A nervous giggle escaped her lips — her stomach felt like it was twisting inside out. What if he didn’t like it? what if he thought it was too girly? what if he didn’t like bunny things at all? whatifwhatifwhatif.

“Darling?” Matt’s voice cut through her thoughts, concerned. Her eyes quickly snapped back into focus, looking at him. “Oh — uhm… I-“ her words getting lost, she looked down at the ground, pulling the stuffed pink bunny out from behind her back. “-I made you this.” she whispered, holding it out to him as her gaze kept avoiding his.

For a moment, he didn’t move, simply staring at the plush toy in her hands. Then his eyes softened, and his smile grew. “A bunny,” he said as he reached out to take it. His fingers brushed hers as he held it gently, as if it were something precious. “You made this? For me?” he asked, reaching a free hand out to grip her chin — tilting her head up to look at him.

She nodded. “I know it’s not — much, but… I- I thought you might like it.” her voice was soft, almost inaudible as her nerves gnawed at her.

Matt’s gaze flicked down, lingering on the toy, his thumb brushing over the soft fabric and the ribbons tied around its ears. When he looked back up at her, his blue eyes were filled with something she couldn’t quite place—affection, gratitude, something deeper.

“It’s perfect,” he said softly. “Thank you darling. This means more to me than you know. I absolutely love it-“ he paused for a moment, smiling as he pressed a kiss to the bunny’s head — which made her flush even more. “-how long did this take you to make?”

She shrugged her shoulders, stepping a little closer to him — which he gladly accepted. Wrapping his arms around her into a tight embrace. “A few weeks..” she muttered against his chest.

His mouth fell open, stunned. “A few weeks? — Darling-“ he pulled back, looking down at her. And that’s when his eyes caught notice of the little bandages that decorated her hands. Surely he hadn’t missed them? “-did you do this to your hands?” he asked, holding her hands up in front of them.

She nodded slowly, “It just happened a few times — it’s hard to know where the needle is going to go when using my hands.” she admitted. He frowned, pulling her hands up to his face and pressing light kisses to each of her fingers that were wrapped in the bandages.

When he pulled away, he tugged her close again by one of her hands — pressing a kiss to her lips now. “I’ll make sure to treasure it even more now — seeing as you put your blood and sweat into this…literally.” he chuckled.

[xthedevilyouknowx]

“You think I’m crazy. Well, I might be. But who needs a sane mind when lives are at stake?” For Grey and Matt? @forgottenxarchangel

A huff of a laugh, and the smallest intake of breath accompanied the minute shake of Matt's head, adorned in his Daredevil mask. "Personally," he muttered, standing atop the roof as though he was looking out over the city, "I think that might be the most important time to cling to what little sanity people like us have left."
