I’m Xandra. Just a disabled speech-language therapist trying to build a better world. Lover of sci fi TV, crafting, animals, disability related stuff, Rickrolling, and whatever my current hyperfixation is. I'm pretty chill and down with talking to people.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

when a mutual has a bad take, it’s important to remember that nobody’s perfect. but when someone you don’t know has a bad take, it’s important to send a firing squad to their house

“You think every citizen should have access to free and accessible healthcare?”
Wrong!!!
I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

I completely forgot about this and now I’m so overwhelmed with grief again, whyyyyyyyy
I’ve been grieving since yesterday morning when I woke up and realized that the early 90s US-Canadian sci fi show costarring Amanda Tapping I had discovered was only a dream and didn’t actually exist, and need to share this experience so other people can feel my pain.
It was three seasons (cancelled on a cliffhanger). Both stars had the same shaggy, ear length hair style with sorta bangs (I don’t know hair but I’m sure you can picture it). The opening credits were delightfully 90s sci fi (similar to shows like Sliders, The X-Files, and Mercy Point) with a slower, more guitar-heavy ending theme (evoking The Lonely Man from The Incredible Hulk). Everything was so, so low budget with moments of atrocious writing, but it didn’t take itself too seriously, had plenty of humor, and clearly was made by people who believed in the show and put a lot of love and care into it, and there was a fan-made remaster fixing the terrible CGI.
I’m a little fuzzy on the basic plot, but it featured a college age boy (main character) who stumbled onto this conspiracy that involves putting these goo into people’s blood for different purposes. Different colors of goo did different things (like special attacks) and had different percentages of control between the person, the organization, and the goo itself. The goo was released to do its thing by either intentionally cutting the skin, usually the arms, or accidental injuries, and could be “sealed” back into the person with special waxes. (Yes, I did find that whump was a cornerstone of the very small fandom.) The MC was on the run from the organization initially because he Knew Too Much, but later because he was helping the female main character avoid recapture, and eventually because they were trying to stop the organization’s plots of world domination.
Amanda Tapping’s character was an original test subject for the organization who was initially set up as an antagonist in episode seven but quickly became a hesitant-ally-turned-partner appearing in every episode after her introduction. She had several types of goo, including the pink goo (very bad, gave the organization control over her) and black goo, which she had minimal control over and would eat people (also very bad). She was the only goo combo person seen for the first season, although the second season included some 2 goo combo bad guys and the ultimate big bad from the season 3 cliffhanger had as many goos as Tapping. The several goos made it harder for the organization to control Tapping’s character, hence her escape, but also made it extremely difficult for her to control which goo was activated and when, as she is the only person we see in the show whose goo could burst out of the veins in her arms instead of requiring an external cut. The biggest danger was the black goo, which would turn into two large, feral, goo-dripping vornskr-type creatures and eat anyone in sight. However, by season two Tapping’s character started fo befriend these creatures, naming them Blizzard and Flurry, and they became protective of her and would, at least somewhat, do her bidding.
Unfortunately my dream never supplied a name for the show, but it was popular enough for Hallmark to have made sticker sets for the show (I discovered a page of Blizzard and Flurry stickers in my grandma’s things), but otherwise was largely forgotten. I was absolutely thrilled to discover it, being a huge Stargate fan (and sci fi TV fan), and was baffled that I wasn’t already familiar with something this large that Amanda Tapping had done before SG-1.

the bad part of autism they don't talk about is that sometimes hyperfixation does become an exclusive thing. yeah sorry nothing else exists for me right now. "didn't you say you were going to do things" yeah but my brain is having tunnel vision
