if you go to an active construction site with lots of heavy machinery and close your eyes you can imagine that’s what gay robot sex sounds like

gazing lovingly at your friend while listening to him drunkenly infodump about his special interest, the perfect situation for a confession

Drunken confessions for week 3 of lawlu month

thinking about reintegration in severance and how fucked up it is actually. like that's not two halves of one person coming together; by the time your innie has existed for more than a few weeks even (let alone several years!!!) that is a whole entire other person, whose personality and values will have been steadily diverging from your own since day 1. and then whatever is produced by the reintegration procedure is not like, both of these individuals cohabiting the same body; it is a third, monstrous thing, a single entity that is simultaneously 100% their innie and 100% their outie, with all of the internal conflict that comes with that, and so ultimately they are neither. the only way for an innie to survive outside of lumon is to be subsumed, without warning, into another person. and for the marks, maybe it won't be so bad - they're different, for sure, but their values and goals seem to more or less align. but i think one of the worst and most sickening things the show could do at this point would be to have Helena eagan reintegrate with Helly R

pls can you get into 911 . I think you would love it - and this is from someone who went into it sure I was gonna fucking hate it. actually as I'm typing this I'm feeling like you are less likely to watch something if it's a suggestion so . don't watch it . ever . you will hate it so there's no point even checking

i fear the ship sailed on that one ages ago, it has FIRMLY cemented itself as one of those shows you could not even pay me to get into i'm sorry 😭 anyway i think i know literally every plot point from all eight seasons by now, through friends and social media. also no one kill me please, i'm glad you guys are having fun, but i don't think i've seen a more toxic fandom in years. like oh my god. i'm saying this as someone with plenty of friends in said fandom who are chill so i'm not saying it's everyone, don't get me wrong, but jeeesuuuusss christ what the fuck goes on over there

If I could be arsed to learn how to edit videos and had some kind of mic, I would 110% make a two part video essay series on the politics of Jurassic World because MY GOD, there's so much to dissect.

The first part would be about how the park is the epitome of neoliberal futurism for techbros, including the way the park so easily falls apart though I doubt that aspect is purposeful. Everything is aesthetic first and function second, and we can't possibly use any of the reliable infrastructure we've already come up with because a train is not gonna get us to Mars, but a monorail might.

And the second would be about the buckwild terrible gender politics going on. The movie is deeply unsympathetic to Claire seemingly because she's a woman who prioritised her career as it's both centre to her character arc and also an inciting event of one of the plots. Not to mention the whole Zara thing or the Owen and Claire thing or the stupid "him, I meant him, line. The movie is rife with misogyny, but it feels like that specific misogyny was isekaied over from backlash to second wave feminism.

I could talk about it all for so long because in a way, it feels like a perfect time capsule for 2015. Back when people took Claire running in heels to be this feminist statement to be made fun of and not just a deeply misogynistic movie trying to sell you feminism. And back when Elon Musk managed to get away with his "I'm the real life Iron Man" shit, and people believed he was smart and all his plans would come to fruition. 2015 was a great time to be a tech bro in Silicon Valley with people just throwing money at all your fake promises.

Yeah. See. This is what I mean when I say I could talk about it forever.

yeah all right I'm at s5e2 of this dumb firefighters show and look I'm sorry I haven't seen anything this intensely but unacknowledgedly gay without feeling the need to either no homo itself or engage with a very special episode subplot since, like... Due South. Or The Sentinel. It keeps using all the same tropes you see between the main love interests in an ensemble piece, just centered on two people who happen to be guys.

I'm weirdly convinced that this is a deliberate choice to probe the genre and play with the writing opportunities afforded by taking these really standard and familiar procedural tropes and storylines, and then mixing the genders willy nilly. After all, this show is... not subtle about making a habit of that throughout: it loooooooves to dig through familiar procedural subplots with gendered expectations and subversions. This is, in fact, the show that kicks its first arc off by exploring the possibilities for character decisions entailed by a loving, supportive marriage divorcing because one partner wants to come out as gay. It's a show that gives all its most traditionally masculine subplots to Athena, the most femme woman on the main cast! It really wouldn't be out of character for the show to move in that direction.

I'm not actually invested in canon Buck/Eddie per se— I've never needed that from my fandom time — but I'm fascinated by the storytelling opportunities afforded to it, and I'm keenly aware that writers rooms almost definitely include people in them now who have spent a significant time in fandom as participants, and who have thought deeply about the ways that gender can shape stories (particularly though the venue of always-a-gender! AUs). I'm also.... hm, how shall I put this...

That relationship is already textually queer. Wills have been modified involving custody and co-parenting agreements, okay, we are firmly in the territory of "immediate family" commitment levels. They could both be 1000% straight and cis and this would still be a relationship that queers normative expectations, particularly on men and especially on young men. I don't actually need it to do anything else to love it.

So I'm not coming from a place of wanting to see anything in particular in that respect, but I gotta say: it really feels to me that this show is playing with the ability to have its cake and eat it too in terms of the "will they/won't they" dynamic of the "main couple" in a television series: you can be as dramatic and iddy as you want, really dial up those emotional stakes, but at the same time your audience isn't huffing and whining that everything is so predictable because just by existing between two men you're subverting audience expectations.

It's really interesting. I'm enjoying myself a lot.

I had a dream with Vasco and Machete last night, I don't remember all details, but I do remember people talking about Machete being some sort of fallen angel or something. I even saw flashes of his angelic form in between, I'll have to draw those when I get back home. It was both scary and delightful.

I hate hate hate healthcare here oh my god. At my last dental appointment they wanted to schedule a wisdom teeth extraction for me and I was like well how much is that going to cost?? (I don’t have thousands of dollars to throw around rn bc my partner got laid off) and they couldn’t give me an answer even though they had my insurance info. They said they’d call me back with a price, and then a week later they leave me a message NOT with the price but with a reminder for me to please schedule the appointment asap. Bitch no tell me how much it’s gonna run me first!!!

Not to be crazy here but im thinking about a Severance AU for The Pitt and it's consuming me a little bit...like the hospital shift that goes on and on and on that you literally can never leave. Literally creating another version of you that has to bear the monstrous pain of your job so you don't have to... triage diverting their worst cases to the severed floor so only the innies (who aren't considered human) have to deal with the trauma...damn
