One Day in New York City - The Ultimate First-Timers Day Out

Let’s start this with a disclaimer — your tastes may vary. You might not like the schedule or you might find something else that appeals to your tastes much more than something I’ve listed here. The goal of the itinerary below is to make the day work for you! While this list will hit up many of the major tourist sites in NYC, it won’t feature all of them by any means (and having been multiple…

designs for a Transformers horror AU thing I was working on but shelved for the time being to work on my other main tf au project.

Thought I just shared these freaks without context. rest of the art and writing for this project prob not gonna be posted until/if I start working on it again.

Bonus little dude, he a part of a diagram explaining some lore but it doesn't make a ton of sense without knowing other lore from this AU I haven't shared.

A Quiet Place: disability at the end of the world (I am still reeling from this movie)

Ok so like many apocalypses ignore what happens to the disabled or infirm during apocalypses and just have the main cast all healthy and able-bodied. Even FUCKING World War Z(where sick people were left alone by the infected) just ignored that aspect. Yes, someone will get temporarily sick/wounded or pregnant but I mean a lifelong handicap. A Quiet Place had a deaf girl in a world where making sound gets you killed. However, the sign language her family learned for her sake allowed them to communicate and bond in a silent world.

Now on to Day One. When Eric finds out Sam needs meds to handle the pain caused by her terminal illness, he doesn't ditch her. He doesn't go "you're an invalid, you're weak, I'm abandoning you to increase my own chances at survival." So many apocalypses push the Darwinian idea of "survival of the fittest" but the unique nature of the Quiet Place means that it doesn't matter how strong or ruthless you are if you don't know how to shut the fuck up. Later, when Sam is left incapacitated in the church from her pain, this would've been a prime time for a lesser writer to have Eric leave Sam a little note saying "Sorry, but you're dying so I'm outie bye" but nope! guy risks his life to make sure she gets her meds, comforts her, lifts her spirits when she's at the end of the world, her life, and just wants to experience the simply joy of a pizza.

On to Eric. Once again, a lesser film would make him a coward or unlikable. He's a white-collar worker (a bloodsucking lawyer-in-training) who couldn't build a fire or survive the rugged wilderness but they're in the city so food is everywhere just be quiet getting it. He just survived drowning in the flooding subway but goes back down cuz his new friend wants her maybe-last meal to be from her favorite place. Sam is not a liability to him. She's not a burden but a person trying to maneuver through disaster in her own way just like him. Some anthropologist somewhere said that civilization didn't really start until people started looking after each other, when healed bones were found cuz that meant someone cared for this person while they were weak. In the end, Eric's empathy & kindness secured his own survival.

Honestly it's such a niche thing to be nitpicky about but the CIA interrogation thing in Abandoned was so fucking annoying in how unrealistic it is.

FBI agents do not get interrogated by the CIA. Not in their own fucking building, on U.S. soil, it doesn't fucking work like that.

When insubordination happens, and it does, there is a procedure to follow. Generally, the Bureau's higher-ups put the person in question on administrative leave pending investigation as to whether this insubordination was justified, assuming no crime committed and no harm to civilians or personnel. This takes a few weeks, minimum, to hammer out. If it's a big enough incident, the insubordinate person(s) in question go in front of a Congressional committee.

They do NOT get asked stupid, oblique questions by a lowly field agent who doesn't even have jurisdiction on US soil in their own field office.

I don't even want to talk about Trusted, I can't even consider that episode canon with how ridiculous it is, honestly—

I was looking up the balloon lineup for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and sadly I didn't see the Sonic balloon, which is a shame because I really think it was earned given everything that's happened this year

Macy’s droppin’ the ball this year…����

"During one scene shoot...It was JDM's birthday and thanks to our director he was serenaded by a man in a pink bear suit."

A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE Grade: B-

More of a character movie than a action but a solid thriller movie. The leads are great. I already liked #LupitaNyongo but #JosephQuinn won me over. Ending wasn't too bad.

my friend: hey, you were over there muttering under your breath for a long time, are you okay?

me: oh, yeah, i’m fine! i was just vocally stimming. it helps me calm down in overstimulating environments.

my friend: oh, okay! if you don’t mind me asking, what were you saying to calm yourself down?

me: oh, i was just reciting the entire script of Disney’s 1992 flop movie-musical Newsies starring Christian Bale and David Moscow from memory.

my friend: …

me: i didn’t remember it as well as i used to, since i haven’t seen the movie in two years, but i got through about the first thirty minutes, minus the songs, without too much trouble.

my friend: how do you not have an autism diagnosis
