tonight's vibes

human Jasper falling into love at first sight with Alice during the Cullens' first day of school, and her visions warn her of the possibility, and she's promised the family she won't get involved, except she's waited for him so long...

Mary-Alice getting to see and touch snow for the first time, and just being entranced; Jasper taking her ice skating on a pond, and maybe she holds tight to his hands longer than she needs to.

We really gloss over the Demon Slayer corps sending children to die, don’t we?

[fangirling-throughlife]

I'm reading "The Royal We", and the prince's name is Nick, and I can't help but think of Nicholas Galitzine.

so i know it’s technically a fake movie in that it literally does not exist and was never filmed but

the fact that we’ve all communally created a cohesive plot and storylines and we all know about certain scenes and the metaphors and the symbolism and the meaning

it exists now. obviously not the movie itself and like that other post said, it can never be a real movie because that’ll take all the magic away from what goncharov is and has come to be.

but it exists. there are at current count 347 works on ao3 for goncharov.

just because martin scorsese and the italian-licenseplate director never actually made this movie doesn’t mean the story itself doesn’t exist.

and i think that’s the beauty of it. it started as a joke but the story is actually real now.

We're struggling but we're okay 🤣

Premise & Setting

Welcome to Earth, OH — Circa 2157

Forget everything you know about society. This is the United States of America in 2157. 

You’ve landed in Earth… Ohio—a small, remarkable city sticking out like a sore thumb between tall, glittering Columbus and the silver shores of fair Cleveland...

Here “on Earth,” we pride ourselves on our rich agriculture, our stunning vistas—and our tip-top experimental flight and rocket programs. 

Earth, Ohio, has been consistently named American Astronauts’ City of Choice over Wapokoneta and Dayton, and our beautiful camping grounds and wonderful, active skies attract visitors from all over the state. Pay no attention to the mysterious restricted area in the north of town, the site of a 2147 ecological disaster that left the grounds dangerous and closed to all but the very enigmatic… And never you mind the eerie lights in the night sky that glide without rocket fire and soar without wings—that twinkle in the distance like all different suns and stars... 

Spend time instead relaxing at our new mall! Visit our museum and explore our local history of dazzling pulp fiction. Rent a rocket for a weekend trip to Mars. 

Or, help us welcome our sweet and strange new neighbors who’ve relocated here from the Sunshine State. They’re downright otherworldly, so let’s all give them a warm Earth “hello!”

Hello! Our upcoming science fiction title will be an adventurous, awe-inspiring collection of strange and astonishing tales—or at least we hope it will be! The setting’s many hooks and scenarios have been written to honor iconic pulp fiction staples and provide a truly fantastical but also resonating environment where writers can explore, narrate, and reappreciate daily life on our thrilling wonder planet, Earth. 

On our science fiction site, writers and characters will be encouraged to explore a truly magical life in a truly magical place. We’re interested in character-driven stories, adventures, and mysteries that engage with themes of family, home, hope, fear, and belonging as well as the most marvelous parts of the average day-to-day in the new fifties: hovercars, super microwaves, jet pack injuries, retirement rockets, and more.

And of course, the city of Earth will not just be populated by mankind and its many wonders—it will also be home to many different beings from many different worlds, journeys, and futures of their very own. Beings made and loved by you, the writers! And we can’t wait to meet them.

Here, we fundamentally believe that there’s no such thing as a normal, non-marvelous life. Have your character investigate the strange quarantine zone in the center of town that evicted a whole neighborhood ten years ago. Or let them be a part of the buzzing, flight-filled skies. They can visit the many different sights and sounds of the touristy Solar System—or they can discover that life or love wasn’t what they thought it was—that it was something so much more beautiful and strange … and perhaps gooier than they expected. These and many other subplots will be available to you at our upcoming title—plus, all of your own ideas, too! 

In the small, sparkling city of Earth, Ohio, where The Golden Age of Science Fiction is revered and preserved, we don’t think it will be very long at all before the people of Earth find themselves resembling their favorite fantasies and mysteries. And that’s exactly what we’re going for. 

We appreciate you coming along for the ride! 

P.S. Oh! And yes, we will be ragging on Florida a lot. A lot a lot. So much.

Hormones fucking suck because they make a bunch of weird thoughts come into my head.

Example: Why do I enjoy using the royal “we” when I talk or text or post so much? Is there some psychological thing behind it? Is there something going on in my brain?

See? Weird exhausted period thoughts ;-;

[g4yr4t]

this behavior is really unlike Socrates-kun huh

[bigsquiddles]

having many thoughts on my gender tonight

all of them slightly unsettling to me but we’re dealing with it

[liveandbreathemusicals]

Gay people will be like “this is my comfort show!” And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed

[gremlin-city]

can't stress this enough: we have got to get weirder. we need to be nigh incomprehensible to the commoners mind.
