There's something about reading really great writing that's so relaxing. You can just sit back and let the words wash over you, knowing that you can trust the writer.

"Why would you play it all on something as hollow as trust? What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough? What if, under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough? Why would you be loving? [...] And, hey, why would you be loved?"

HOZIER ???? OH MY GOD ????

It's mostly the fault of @loveliesblood, because of course it is, but we had this discussion yesterday about the thought of Vegas being drunk out of his mind, and instead of being depressed or more self-destructive than usual, he just gets incredibly sappy. Like, imagine him being wasted and cuddling Pete, pinching his cheeks as he frowns in his attempts at seeing his face more clearly because the image is too blurry, all while Pete is trying to move him to the bathroom or to their bedroom. Vegas calls him boyfie or something similar in English, and Pete is so flustered and soooo confused and he has no idea how to handle a Theerapanyakul who won't punish him for being left to drink this much. And of course, there's also Macau behind them, whining and gagging and asking his hia to stop being so cringe, all while helping Pete take care of him. (He honestly wants to cry by how happy he feels seeing his brother like this, but he'd rather die than admit it). AND, obviously Vegas wants to kiss Pete, and keep kissing Pete, but Pete has to stop him because "your breath smells, Vegas," which makes Vegas get upset because "I'm sorry, I kissed you when you hadn't brushed your teeth in days, do you not love me?" Pete can't answer the question, so he just lets Vegas do what he wants. He'll have forgotten about this in the morning anyway.

don't you love when you're like, okay now I'm going to leave this sorrow in the old year so I don't turn into a crotchety bitter person over it, and then you walk on feeling all refreshed and bright no longer carrying it on your shoulders, but then the sorrow wanders after you like a child who was lost in the supermarket weeping its eyes out and it says to you where did you GO I was lost! I was lost and I missed you!!! and you can only sigh and take it by its hand and say to it very well. here's your seat. I'm sorry I left you behind, I promise it was with the best of intentions, but I want to do my best by you, so let's sit together and try to figure out what you're saying to me.

Taking me back, babe, to where it all started

I'm stealing a kiss in your brand-new apartment

I swear

I've loved you for so long

And I'd do it, I'd do it again, and again, and again, baby

[Image ID: A drawing of a lush, green forest on an alien planet in the TV show Scavengers Reign. On the left is a large, thick, white stone column covered with large, green, round globules of moss. The center contains large, white circular stepping stones on the ground, much larger than any living being in the image. A grey, deer-shaped alien with a slightly lighter grey underbelly and round, grey protrusions coming from its face sits curled up on one of the stones. On another stone, further back, sits a grey robot made up of a three large metal ovals next to each other. It tends to a small lily with four large, white petals growing from the stone.

In the center of the image, two thick, brown columns that could be stone or tree trunks rest behind the alien and the robot. One is diagonal and points to the upper right. The other is nearly upright and is tilted slightly to the left. The right side of the image contains three tall yellow broomstick-shaped stalks of what look like hay, and there are three jellyfish-shaped creatures with very short dark grey legs, small round red eyes, and dark grey bodies. One of the creatures looks sadly at the deer alien and the robot. The other two are walking away, out of the frame. End ID.]

Title: Scavengers Reign (2023-?)

Channel: HBO Max.

Origin: U.S. American.

Genres: 2D animation, science fiction, science fantasy, adventure, and horror.

Runtime: As of March 2024, there is 1 season with 12 episodes. Each episode is ~25 minutes. The show’s executive producers have mapped out future seasons and are excited to do more, but with HBO’s penchant for cancelling animated/sci-fi TV shows and removing them from streaming, I’m not sure if it’ll get renewed for more.

This show feels: Enthralling, wondrous, hypnotic, and horrifying.

Premise: Scavengers Reign is a science fiction show about the marooned survivors of a damaged cargo ship in outer space. They explore their mysterious, lush, and hostile new planet with caution, and, due to the crash, they have been isolated in three groups who must eventually make their way back to each other. Most of the cast are human, but one main character is a robot. The new planet contains fantasy-transformed plants, animals, and aliens. Does danger lurk around the next corner?

Themes explored by the show: Social isolation, mental health crises, survival in the wilderness, the ability to trust, human-alien interactions, grief, death, community, psychological horror/trauma, and the poisonous control that nostalgia holds over humans.

Representation & marginalized voices: Scavengers Reign has several nonwhite main characters, and about the half the cast are female while the other half are male. The nonwhite characters are also voiced by people of color, and there are many female voice actors in the cast. I appreciate that romance isn’t a core part of the show, as the story explores themes like survival and mistrust instead.

Notes:

Scavengers Reign is well-received by the public. It has a 100% approval score on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 8.7/10.

Scavengers Reign originally aired as an 8-minute, dialogue-free animated short film in 2016 on the Adult Swim channel. It is available to watch here on Vimeo.

Most U.S. American shows created by major streaming services or TV networks are available to pirate. Sites like FMovies or LookMovies should have it.

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me
