"Be cruel to me, 'cause I'm a fool for you"

- Suck It and See

[jesse-pinko]

Watching Jurassic Park as a kid and the main takeaway understandably being wow!! dinosaurs :)) vs reading the book as an adult where it’s more along the lines of… John Hammond get in the submarine. The dinosaurs have literally already escaped the island and are running amok killing local infants before the main cast even gets there and presumably also nuking the local ecosystem. The raptors have killed multiple workmen and have a taste for human blood. He set up shop in Costa Rica so he could skirt around various regulations and also because he doesn’t view the locals as real people worthy of not being eaten by dinosaurs. He’s not only brought the dinosaurs back from the dead, he’s planning to immediately monetize this by exposing the public to newly zombified wild animals that the most accredited scientists have incredibly limited knowledge on. He invited his own grandchildren to an island populated by undead carnivores just so he could be like see! Would I invite my own grandchildren to skulldeath island if it was dangerous? Checkmate liberals! But that’s exactly what he did!! He refuses to breed dinosaurs that won’t eat the guests even though they could literally do that because he wants the experience to be authentic or something?! Ian Malcolm’s over here prattling on about chaos theory and it’s like I’m good man! I do not need mathematics to tell you this is going to end badly! Hammond is the most realistic depiction of a real life billionaire, utterly unconcerned with and unappreciative of the world he actually lives in because it doesn’t allow him to play toys with the basic tenants of life and death, so instead of putting his money toward bettering the real world he tries to tear it up by the roots and build one perfectly tailored to his own preferences. John Hammond kys!!

This children's book on oceanography had no need to make the cover this badass, and yet they went all out on it. Legends

Battle of the Ships

Round 1 Part 2 Poll 6

The art used for the Vingilot is from one of the Silmarillion's covers (I think it was a Chinese one but I wouldn't swear it - I still have the cover saved if anyone's interested)

No description or propaganda for the Vingilote. Feel free to provide some I could use if the ship makes it to another round.

Description for the Ulysses : Developed by Whitmore Industries, it is 382 Feet (116.434 meters) long, can go 18 knots, has 12 torpedo launchers in 6 external ball turrets which capable of firing explosive proximity torpedoes out of launchers that have 180 degrees of movement, and had a crew of 201 at launch! The bridge is located within a glass enclosure at the front of the ship so you can look out into the ocean like you are in an atrium. It's like an air craft carrier but a sub; it also housed 24 mini subpods and many other land terrain vehicles. It was eventually destroyed by a leviathan.

Propaganda for the Ulysses : I mean, see above. But also it just looks so iconic to the movie. Also, like, its HOW they even get to Atlantis at all soooooo

Reading 20,000 Leagues under the sea, and I am once again reminded that older literature is a) funnier than we give it credit for (you can't convince me that the language shenanigans with Captain Nemo aren't comedic) and b) a lot less concerned with plot than current media (I actually have no idea what the plot is anymore).

A list of books I have read this year. Will reblog everytime I update as I read more. Doing this a a bit of fun and to hopefully motive myself to read a bit more like I used to.

(I would like to state that I do not share/approve of the views or opinions of a certain author on this list. I just enjoy the books and won't let some poor excuse of a human being ruin them for me.)

The Beatles meets JJK

It was originally going to be an actual octopuses garden but I realized I'm bad at drawing octopuses, so pretend his hand is the octupus.

🌸 April books 🌸

Yeah, not beating the allegations...

🔹 Second in Command by May Fluhman, 2⭐

I'm sure this was really useful back in the 1970s, although I'm not sure how much of a wider audience it actually reached. Now, when you can read accounts of the voyages online it really doesn't add much.

🔹 The Dive by Stephen McGinty, 4⭐

An account of rescuing people from a submersible accident. What they wanted to do with that Titanic sub, except 50 years earlier and in much shallower water. Even so, it nearly ended in disaster. If you want a stressful read about how dangerous accidents are caused by a combination of hubris and bad luck, this is a good option.

🔹 Sir John Franklin's Erebus and Terror Expedition by Gillian Hutchinson, 5⭐

🔹 The Plaster Fabric by Martyn Goff, 4⭐

This was a rec from @carrotcakecrumble. A queer classic coming of age novel where Laurie 2, as we're calling him, had to make choices about how he's going to live his life. The two Lauries have so much in common that I can't believe this isn't a response to The Charioteer. Perhaps a criticism, perhaps a look at how it would play out for someone from a different class. Much to think about.

This is a great introduction for anyone who wants to look at the actual history of the Franklin Expedition. There are amazing photos of the wrecks too. My precious boaties ♥️

imagine if Torchwood comes back. And it's filmed in Cardiff. New characters, new cast, maybe a similar base, abit like in the Continuation audios.

But imagine if those sweeping shots of Cardiff Bay came back with it. Like imagine it zooming out and having a green-screened/ highly edited lil corner on the docks.
