Smart ass fake fic title request: water and or ocean adjacent

Please answer this seriously tho, bc I m deadly curious what a serious sound fic title like that would actually become in your brain

omg it's giving snarky benji it's giving everyone says fuck the water titles it's giving no one appreciates my fine art and craftsmanship here (/jk)

but a fic title like 'water and or ocean adjacent' is definitely giving like. astronauts/scientists obi-wan and anakin are tasked with finding evidence of water and or oceans being present or having once been present on some distant now uninhabitable planet. they have a healthy respect for each other in the scientific research world but they also cannot stand the other's personality which makes working together a hellscape on several different levels. they also fucked each other during the christmas party four years ago (literally during the christmas party, in a coat closet) and you'd think maybe that wouldn't affect their relationship anymore because it's been four years, but you'd think wrong.

and you'd think that having a colorful history in a coat closet would make them able to work together in other tight enclosed spaces, but you'd also be wrong!! they're tapped to join a "The Martian" like mission to find that proof of water on the planet and it also goes wrong like in the Martian but both of them are stranded on the planet and they have to live together and survive together and keep detailed accounts/video diaries of their time together (obi-wan says this is for future generations/expeditions who will find their remains, anakin says this is so if obi-wan kills him there'll be enough evidence to either try him in space court or at least fuck over his legacy and memorialize him as a dirty murderer)

(obi-wan says that after watching all the space diary videos, no one would actually convict him of murder because they'd understand where he was coming from. video cuts out and next video begins with both of them looking very freshly fucked)

(and then like in the martian they do get rescued and then readjust to life on earth but it's so weird to be with their families again when they feel so hugely changed by their experiences and it's impossible to sleep without hearing the other's breath in the same room and sure maybe they're codependent but they're also the only people on earth who spent 3 years by themselves on a different planet and survived. they get to be a little codependent)

(they also find evidence of water in the second year, so now all textbooks that are written and include the discovery also have to include the Drama of It All)

send me a made up fic title and i'll tell you what i'd write to go with it!

How would Commander X-2 (Marvin the Martian) react if he saw Minerva Mink singing “Space Angel” at the Nite Lite Club instead of Cassiopeia?

(Whatever is blue and underlined is a link.)

Knowing him, he would most likely be just as flustered as Duck Dodgers (Daffy) tho unlike him he'd try to keep his composure and be discreet, trying not to let her known how much of an effect she has on him which i feel would quite interest her. She'd probably tease him by looking right at him and wink, aswell as blow him a kiss from where she's floating to his direction.

[poughkeepsies]

nothing gets me like a scene in a movie or tv show where the entire world is watching with baited breath rooting for someone to survive/succeed and then when it happens it's just unadulterated joy on everyone's faces

Im curious because I think I might be crazy

Also what are the movies you guys are rewatching?

My thoughts on each answer:

Only Once: Your favourite movies!?! Really!?!? …Okay 🤷🏻‍♀️ I genuinely don’t understand how that’s possible. I pretty much only ever watch a movie once if I really disliked it…even then I’ll probably wait some years and try watching it again

2-5 Times: This is how often I watch most movies..even ones I only kinda liked. I like to rewatch everything before actually deciding if I like it or not. The thing is..once I’ve seen it about 3 times I start to get too comfortable and decide I love it no matter what. I do this with songs too

6-10 Times: Okay this one I’ll accept depending on the reasons. If the first time you watched it was within 5-7ish years then I’ll accept it. I will also accept it if its a favourite, not because it’s a comfort movie, but because it’s genuinely amazing and you don’t want to become apathetic to it’s amazing-ness

11-20 Times: There are definitely quite a few movies I’ve seen this many times. Mainly ones that are shorter and have come out more recently.

More than 20 Times: You are my people. You get me. I have seen an unreasonable amount of movies dozens and dozens of times and I will watch them more times. To add some perspective I have seen Attack of the Clones seven times since January. That’s not even 4 months…imagine how many times I’ve seen it in total :)

brainiac-5 is one of my favourites this show including him and Martian man hunter it’s like they knew I needed more of those two. I love them so much <33

Ok but imagine if Dr. Destiny tried to fight J'onn directly after harming the League. And J'onn just cracks his knuckles like "Very well."

OH HELL YEAH. oh my god Only a Dream is my FAVORITE episode I love seeing J'onn kick ass & I think the only reason he didn't totally handle Destiny himself is bc of the timing, he was still struggling with the planet being so overwhelming psychically [+ he's probably still recovering from Tabula Rasa tbh]. But it's still the biggest individual beatdown he'd given out since Etrigan and I'm here for that. Threaten his League family and it's getting ugly, morals or not. If Bruce hadn't taken Destiny down, J'onn probably would have, and not as kindly 👀

"You endangered my adopted family. Did you really think you would get away with that?"

Love the lil touch of Chuck reading The Martian General's Daughter. It comes up in Universe too with a random airman reading Old Man's War in Subversion:

Earlier this year I acquired Martian Successor Nadesico for reasons I don't remember. It doesn't even show up on my backlog spreadsheet. I wonder if I confused it with Mouretsu Pirates, which is on my backlog? Either way, on a whim, I decided to watch the first episode tonight and it was great! Oh my God I actually had tears from laughing so hard. Everybody is insane. Everybody is yelling. It's amazing.

It's good enough that I only saw one episode, not three, and I'm already writing about it!

There's not too much I know about this show other than it looked 90s (aired in 1996). It definitely feels like it's drawing on Macross, among many other things, and comes across as an homage to the entire sci-fi/mecha genre. The guy assembling the team looks like Golgo 13. They've got bridge bunnies. MC classically falls into the cockpit of a giant robot. The Nadesico rises out of the sea like the Space Battleship Yamato, has a wave motion gun, and a few SDF-1 design cues. The list goes on and on.

Coincidentally, I ran into the character who has to have been the inspiration for Lucky Star's Anime Tenchou. When I heard Gai yelling (he has no indoor voice) it was immediately familiar. Seeing both the character design and Gai's "passion for theatre" got me looking it up and yeah. Same VA, literally the same character.
