My alternative film poster for the 2009 sci-fi masterpiece, Moon (+ 2 alt formats).

What's your fav film?

Or top 5 if you can't pick one!

Nice try security question guesser! But you can have another 5 that I really love <3

Moon - 2009 - Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.

Amazing movie - So well acted and comes with the humor and angst I love in my movies

American Psycho - 2000 - A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.

Violent, psychological, pain. The book is also one of my favourites. If you can handle blood then watch this!

Goodbye Lenin - 2003 - 1990, to protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma, a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared.

Funny, sad, dramatic. One of my favourites for all time. Also gave me my love for Daniel Brühl before he went big stateside. I still say he should be Gale in the live action.

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) - 2014 - A washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.

I love Keaton films, and this is one of his best. The cinematography is fucking amazing. His acting is so good and it's just so good being in that headspace for this.

Back to the Future 2 - 1989 - After visiting 2015, Marty McFly must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985...without interfering with his first trip.

It's back to the fucking future. Can I also mentioned that 2015 was 9 years ago and we still don't have flying cars or the abolishment of lawyers.

Hello Moon fandom, accepts a fanfic of Gerty and the reader doing a slow dance?

I love Gerty I love Gerty I love Gerty I love Gerty I love Gerty I love Gerty I love Gerty I lov

TW/CW: None as far as i know

Your torso gently comes into contact with Gerty's metal. Gerty didn't exactly have eyes like yours to look into, yet, you stared at the floor in shyness. Who can blame you, he's your romantic interess. Gerty's robotic claw grabs your left hand, giving you a slight fright from his cold claw.

You look at Gerty's little screen, only to find that big, cute smile of his on that yellow face. Your face reddened. What a dumb and cute smile.

"Is this alright?" He asked. You nodded almost immediately.

You move only a few inches closer to Gerty. The butterflies in your stomach sing, and without much thought, you lay your head on top of Gerty. Your free hand approaches Gerty's right side, considering it's the closest thing to a waist. Your fingers accidentally come into contact with the large wire in Gerty's shape, and soon you grab his side.

"...You're pretty" You muttered. You don't even know if you wanted to say this. Perhaps the famous 'follow your heart' line has gone too far for you.

A brief three-second silence "You think?" Another short silence "...Thank you, Y/N. It's unexpected to see people attracted to me. You're too, very pretty for me."

Your heart fluttered at the AI's words, and you could feel your face gently burn. If you were to tell your child self from the past that you fell in love with an AI, would they believe it?

A song started to play, one you didn't know the name of, but it had a slow, quiet speed, not much instruments were detected.

Today I woke up to feeling like Sam Bell clone #5. What a relatable guy. Maybe I'll make a little GERTY model to keep me company.

CLONES

A brief drabble about their tragic nature.

I've been sitting on these thoughts for a hot minute, but it definitely plays into why I love them so much.

To begin with, a simple question must be asked. Why is cloning necessary/ beneficial to the cloners. Is it for population? A specific set of skills that individual possessed? Convenience? Sentimentality?

Regardless, these are people who are created with alterior motives. You don't 'just make a clone', they are made to serve a purpose.

A couple of case studies in media showcase their tragic nature, and why I'm absolutely obsessed with these goobers. Specifically, I will be talking about Hunter from the owl house, the clones from starwars, and Sam from Moon (2009). I am writing this from my phone, and refuse to run this through word or the like. If there are any typos or poor grammar I apologize in advance LOL

drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁 CLONE NUMBER 1

1. Hunter (TOH)

Alright, spoilers for the owl house I guess for seasons 2 and 3. Keep scrolling if u wanna watch, just keep going till you see the next set of clones.

A recreation of a brother, Hunter was meant to fill a void in his 'uncle', Belo's past. While Belos motives remain unclear, it's certain that he couldn't live without his brother. He could never let go. He couldn't move on from his old beliefs, that witches are vile and the magic they use an affront to God, and he couldn't accept Caleb's newfound life in the Iles.

Was Hunter made to replace Caleb and groom him into a better version of his brother? Or perhaps it was revenge for his betrayal.

Either way, Belos needed his brother. Hunter wasn't made to serve a purpose in the traditional sense. It's arguable that the majority of the boiling iles would serve better as the Golden Gaurd. But the tasks undertaken by the Golden Gaurd are meaningless, and dont really matter. It's an empty tittle that Hunter could never live up to, as the ideal Golden Gaurd would literally be Caleb. He was designed to fail.

To Belos, he and his brother should have worked together to save humanity from the witches, and like everything else, he couldn't let that dream go. Instead, he used magic to bring his brother back, corrupting himself, and becoming the world's biggest hypocrit in the process.

My man literally made a clone farm, harvesting the grimwalkers when he deemed them right for the picking and moulded them into what he wanted. If they were faulty and didn't resemble his brother, he discarded them. If they betrayed him again, into the pit. Belos saw the grimwalkers as disposable, cheap mockeries of his brother. And no matter how many times they failed, he always tried again.

2. Clones from starwars

The clones from starwars served a 'singular' purpose as soldiers of the Republic. Assured quality and quantity, they faced the front lines for civilians who viewed them as little more than property: meat droids.

The kaminoians prioritized efficiency. How better to get high quality soldiers to the front lines than breeding them to fight. Their engineered genetics, accelerated ageing, constant training, yielded the greatest army the galaxy had ever seen.

Or so the Jedi thought.

A grand deception, the clones were always meant to fulfill a secondary purpose. One that removed all their agency, personality, and emotions to execute the Jedi.

People who they worked closely with for the last 3 years, nearly a quarter of their lives with, they were designed to betray. The clones viewed themselves as disposable, and some of the few people who challenged their perspectives, who cared for them, they were forced to murder.

The clones were always designed to kill and remain steadfast in the gruellest situations. However what made them unique was their individuality, independence, and ability to adapt. In such conditions, it was no wonder why they values loyalty above all else. Loyalty to their cause, and to their brothers. And even these few values were stripped away in favour of a grand scheme.

Each one of the paragraphs could have an entire post dedicated to the completexities, and is truly just the surface level of the tragedy of the clones. Perhaps another time. Lmao

Sam (moon 2009)

Ok this is a bit of a niche one. I watched this movie a little girl and it really stuck with me for some reason. For those who Havnt watched it, here's a bit of background.

(Spoilers) basically, a corporation that mines helium on the moon is manned by 1 man, Sam, and an AI GERTY. Receiving calls from his daughter and wife, Sam is excited to soon be returning to earth. However, Sam was never meant to go back, for he was a clone of the original man who operated the mining facility. Clones were used as disposable men on the facility to ensure that the mines would constantly be manned.

There were many clones before him, his wife and daughter simply a means to keep the clones sane. The industry's usage of clones is of convenience, a simple and cost effective means to maintain operations at a lower cost.

CONCLUSIONS

Holy sh*t I love clones. A common theme is their disposable nature, as they are often seen as 'less than their origonals', as their humanity is called into question. While the chip arc is the most blantent with this, another key element of the clones is their individuality. Nature vs Nurture. Purpose vs independence. Individuality vs collectivism.

At the end of the day, they are fiction. However the wide range of stories and themes that can be told based off their tragic conception is why I love them so much.
