Despite all the extreme trolling and vitriol in their comment sections (since Challengers/TCR) this man continues to scream his love from the rooftops and the MCA would like to take the time to applaud that

#They could have dialed it back #Instead they said fuck that #Salute #🫡

I think the thing that fucks me up more about Lister’s dream is the hug that comes just before the kiss.

like the kiss moment itself is a tad awkward and it was probably kind of meant to be and it’s played a little silly for the dream sequence as they just smush their faces together (and also that puckering of Rimmer’s lips as they lean in lmao)

But I mean it makes me feral anyway bc I can’t believe they did that at all and I love the implication much later in Red Dwarf that dreams and hallucinations etc create their own universes so Somewhere out there there’s at least one universe where that moment was real and they’re fully canon somewhere;;;

But anyway the moment immediately before the kiss even happens gets me every time.

Like they’ve just said they both miss each other and the emotional weight of the moment becomes too much so Lister gets up and pulls Rimmer into a hug and Rimmer’s face destroys me bc it’s very much that ‘oh god…I’m finally home’ kind of hug.

Like he looks a little overwhelmed immediately, like all the air’s been knocked out of him by this first touch with Lister since that last goodbye hug in Stoke Me A Clipper. A hug itself is a kind of comfort he probably hasn’t experienced much of in the first place and certainly not one with as much emotional weight to it. The knowledge that someone missed him, that Lister missed him!! And the little sway they do in the hug, and the way Rimmer’s face softens hearing Lister tell him not to leave ever again. It makes my heart burst;;;

#Red dwarf #I want them to have had a moment like that when Rimmer DID come back from being Ace;; maybe the right moment didn’t come #or whether their own awkwardness got in the way. It’s not impossible for lister to move in instinctively for a hug then remember the dream #and awkwardly dial it back down to a handshake or something and push down the emotional vulnerability #esp given Rimmer’s attempts to quantum skip away again later it’s possible that theres a lack of an emotional welcome home that eats at him #like he could go away again and it wouldn’t matter bc he didn’t know how much lister missed him. It didn’t get the right closure #which culminates in the moonlight speech. The closest thing lister can get to being honest about needing Rimmer to stick around #it’s still too much in some ways to just Say What He Means and feels in straightforward ways #So we’re sun and moon and moonlight only exists because of both of us is the way to go

does your Coriolanus brainwash Lucy Gray to become his wife and First Lady????

also love your art style! can we see the snowbaird babies?

No brainwashing needed he's taking her either way 😁🫶 I haven't fleshed out the entire story but I'm thinking he goes back to the capitol w the goal of rising in power. He's 23 when he becomes president n that's when he decides to comb the whole of district 12 + beyond to find lucy gray, which he does. She's not as far as he predicted, prob living in or close to the cabin where they were last together, because drum roll.......... 🤓 she had twins n needed the help of the covey to raise them. Snowbaird babies debut is soon 🫡

#I'm glad u asked #i could talk more but let me be normal 🙂#im on baby no.3 n I'm debating whether pregnancy no.3 should be twins or triplets or if i should dial it back n let it be a singular baby #in my head coryo would be happy having just 1 heir n the rest are happy surprises but hes not planning on stopping either lawl #he said yolo let me repopulate the world w more snows #ask

I just realized Usopp could have beaten Kuma back on Thriller Bark if he just remembered he had an impact dial in his pocket

#one piece #thriller bark #thriller bark spoilers #bartholomew kuma #tyrant kuma #usopp #god usopp #impact dial #he could have absorbed that huge explosion #and then launched it back in Kumas face #but then something would have happened #instead of #nothing happened #and would it be worth it?

Realistically I know Roier hasn't been streaming because it's been 100+ F in Mexico all week and that sucks, but lore-wise I think Cucurucho / the Federation shot him with a tranquilizer dart the day after the wedding because they could NOT risk having him interfere with the elections.

#i talk #qsmp talk #This is one of those times where I'm like ''how could we explain this lore-wise?''#and come up with a horrific answer #and quickly have to dial it back and be like ''alright edgelord let's tone it down a bit. How can we make this funny''#Real talk though Roier has been ''asleep'' for so long #@Cellbit BOY GET YOUR HUSBAND TO THE HOSPITAL #then again. the only hospital is the Federation hospital. so maybe not #I'm already in the middle of one Roier fic but this makes me want to write another #we could also say ''maybe ElQuackity did something to him and will use that as a bargaining chip to make Cellbit drop out of the race''#but that's less fun

read the line "a youth of 9 centuries" in this fic and it's rly doin me in like. 900 yrs IS old by gallifreyan standards but it's been over 4 and a half billion years since 10 said i think a time lord lives too long. and even then they only decided they were 900 again bc it was easier than admitting what happened to their body in the war when time was made into a chemical weapon and they were catapulted between birth and death an unknowable amount of times idk. looking back at ur impossibly old self and seeing a child

#im not adding timeless child lore to this bc im thinking abt their remembered lived experience but also that #like its 1 thing to find out ur older than u could ever conceptualize and ur memorys been stolen from u and its another seperate thing #to have aged billions of years in ur own living memory #also being trapped in a haunted house for most of that time #like they are so unwell #doctor who #thoughts #14th doctor #10th doctor #ik 12 also had their memory wiped but i like to think that when they got out of the confession dial it all came crashing back #bc i love to put that old man in situations

I'm sorry, I know I'm going to be in an extreme minority here*, but I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE that Wishing Star design in Wish.

#*this makes me even madder because so many people are gonna love it and it's gonna be UGH #it should have been more crystalline or nebulous #preferably crystalline #there could have been so much #but nooooo you gotta go with the plush luma look #disney's wish #wish #it looks neat besides that!#which is why I'm mad!#this is just like Shisu's design again #and her armadillo #too plush and marketable and Safe #dial back the cuteness to a more manageable scale #there was so much that could have been done but ''ooooh plush soft huggable cute thing'' UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

man a lot of the pesterquest routes are just like. batshit fucking bananas but then they end really nicely in a way that makes me feel bad for criticizing the beginning and middle parts

#eridans route is fucking BATSHIT until like the VERY end.#its just like. i know what they were trying to do but it was way too heavy handed #just had him say all the quiet parts out loud #this could have been better crafted i think #like *talks about how gender is arbitrary and and gnc ppl should be destigmatized* 'anyways lets talk about the hemospectrum.'#LIKE ITS JUST TOO ON THE NOSE. CAN WE DIAL IT BACK CAN HE TALK LIKE A PERSON INSTEAD OF A TEXTPOST #like it just feels unfair tbh #his route reads like some shit I'd write as like a joke like one of my shitfics #of him Just Saying all this stuff instead of it being implied through words he would Actually say #but then at the end its like hey remember that he is 13 years old and still growing #and he cant just fix himself overnight and its going to take a while #etc etc like its very kind and true!#whatever #pesterquest #homestuck

Director's commentary for the art of my rtc faves I just posted. The idea that Ricky can tell all his stories and ideas that he's had bottled up in his mind to a captive audience, and that his ideas won't entirely die with him if Jane can listen to them. Even if she might not remember, it's still a willing person who he's shared this all with...

Mischa being the first one to tell Ricky that they'd all listen to him now, right? And then doing so, and getting almost as wrapped up in the stories and ideas as him... Asking questions and thinking of his own ideas...

#The brainrot is reaching critical levels. but im gonna have to dial it back for a while so i can work on zine stuff LMAO (crying)#but for real. I can see Mischa becoming a creative right hand man in the adventures of the space age bachelor man.#he'd take one look at the catwomen from zolar and be like 'wow. these cat women are real baddies. do any of them rap.'#grafftalk #that is all. farewell and goodnight tumblr!#ALSO. im p sure im not misremembering mischa telling ricky theyd listen to him?? but i could be wrong 😭 lmao #and i still want to draw ricky in a SABM fit... but it may have to wait

Serennedy x Noah Kahan’s Music

With the drop of Noah Kahan’s “We’ll All Be Here Forever” album, I’ve just been listening to the added songs nonstop and making connections to Serennedy (as any sane, totally normal person does).

(More on my thoughts below the cut)

Before the drop, however, I had latched onto “She Calls Me Back” as their song. I am physically unable to listen to it without thinking about them. The ones who get it, get it. The ones who don’t are gonna be subjected to my ramblings explaining the connections when I’m not exhausted.

“She Calls Me Back” is not only in my Serennedy playlist, but it’s also been so motivating while I’ve been planning out a multi-chapter Serennedy fic (started planning it in April and I’m gonna properly start writing it soon!). AND ALSO @/SNAILVEE HERE ON TUMBLR POSTED THESE DRAWINGS OF THEM WITH LYRICS FROM THE SONG.

Anyways back to WABHF— “The View Between Villages (Extended Version)” has had me SOBBING over Luis. I keep imagining him coming back to his hometown after being gone for forever and reliving everything he went through. I’m picturing the extended version in particular because of the lyrics to the outro:

The things that I lost here, the people I knew

They got me surrounded for a mile or two

Left at the graveyard, I’m driving past ghosts

Their arms are extended, my eyes start to close

The car’s in reverse, I’m grippin’ the wheel

I’m back between villages, and everything’s still

The mention of ghosts makes me think of Luis coming back to his hometown and seeing the people he grew up around lose themselves after being infected. He eventually fights and kills these infected villagers, and it’s crazy to me to imagine what he could be feeling knowing he has to gun down familiar faces if he wants to make it out of Valdelobos alive. Also, his mother died during childbirth, he never knew his father, and his grandfather was taken from him. He’d lost so much, and being back in Valdelobos was probably hell for him. How could he return to a place like that and not be constantly reminded of everything and everyone he’d lost? He’s haunted.

The last two lines are describing his death. He’s leaving his hometown again, displacing himself one last time. He’s between villages and everything’s still cuz he’s gone for good.

churning with thoughts abt the ecology in trigun. what did the worms eat before people showed up. are thomases a native or introduced species. where does the oxygen come from. where are the phototroph species. mr. nightow answer my emails

#lindsey shut up #trigun #been talking to my cats about chemistry again today #‘so if we work off the assumption that Gunsmoke has a narrow habitable band we could make the argument of solid oxygen ice caps’#‘meow’ ‘right and it sublimates off to create a semi breathable atmosphere. but then we’re back to phototrophic species.’#‘mow?’ ‘i mean yeah there could be like. a side species of worm that filter feeds gases from the atmosphere? but that’s a stretch’#chews on my phone like a bad dog and by complete coincidence it dials the number for nasa’s xenobiology department #am I gonna have to read the manga

I feel like I want to go home but I don’t have one of those. I want to be near my best friend. I’m frightened by rampant and violent transphobia in our culture. I’m somewhere safe and secure but I feel vulnerable. I want to hide. I want to be left alone. I want to be near others. Everyone is so distracted and overwhelmed by life. I feel invisible. I want to be held.

#this is goggles #that’s the crux that never quite goes away #I want to be held so very much it’s like the thread my sanity hangs onto #I miss my habibi #but I also feel like I’m starting to get overwhelmingly needy #I feel like I need to be more aloof as not to be demanding and bothersome #I get more obsessed with partners way more than they do me and it’s just like a recurring thing I know I have to dial back to be paletable #it would feel nice to receive the kind of obsession I dish out #I don’t quite understand why I’m so different I kinda hate it about myself quite a lot #I just want to be held everything melts away into quiet peace when I’m held but just laying around snuggling for hours is massively boring #my body hurts so much less it’s like signifigant I don’t understand why it’s so signifigant #my right shoulder and my lower ribs and my neck especially #I wish my body wasn’t like this it continues to feel like a character flaw that I need to overcome #I want to find a doctor I can trust again but I’m more than a little bit overwhelmed by the prospect and mistrustful and vulnerable #Find some kind of magical way that I can make my body quit hurting #mend where I broke my ribs a couple years ago and find the source of the mystery organ pain and whatever happened to my shoulder #I wish I were building a house right now with funky 70s interior design #I wish I could afford to build a house #I wish I could force myself to just shut up and work some shitass job doing nothing of use like trading stocks and make bank and build #I feel antsy like I want to run again but I don’t actually I am perfectly content vibing right here #I can’t just keep running espesh with the fucky paperwork on my van #I am so tired of driving it’s so stressful #the road trip out here was notably brutal on me in a way no other road trip has been before #I miss my best friend I’m trying so hard to be patient for their arrival here #but some gnawing anxiety in my brain worries that they’ll put it off indefinitely and eventually back out #my own insecurity screaming that I’m not worth the massive life altering changes that moving out here with me would bring #my insecurity screaming that I’m not good enough #screaming that I’m too difficult and needy and strange and clingy and demanding and ill put together and chaotic and messy #I feel like I’m barely keeping it together I feel like I’m always teetering on the edge of total and complete life shattering failure #Like everyone around me only barely tolerates my presence and will throw me away and chase me off on a whim

Happy sixth anniversary to Hawaii civil defense and other assorted authorities fucking up so badly we thought we were in an emergency situation for 38 minutes.

A Saturday, just like today. Just like then, I was at work. With a lot of the same people. However, instead of our phones telling us a missile was inbound and we should seek shelter, today we just had our computer network go down.

For about 40 minutes.

Could have been worse.

#Hawaii Missile Alert #38 minutes of terror #that was the day I learned that none of my coworkers had even heard of 'Duck and Cover'#even though several of them were definitely old enough to have seen it back in the day #I could rant about the colossal fuckups involved in that day #and the complete half-assed 'fix'#and I might sometime #but right now I'm just gonna watch Dial of Destiny with my Dad #which is probably a better use of my time.

I am starting to get very anxious about moment everything falls apart..... I mean there is so much going on right now and zero communication skills so there must be at least one big fight coming before they finally get their shit together!!!! And they are both so deep in this and I am afraid that it is going to get ugly.... but who knows maybe you will just give us Wolfstar communicating their feelings in a healthy and adult manner :---) (but somehow..... I still think they will be stupid.)

hhhhhehehe well. i cannot say too much .... but um. they are very silly 😃 i love that you are hopeful tho. that is quite touching <3

#waaaah i wish i could say more i really do #actually one thing i will say is that my initial plans were Very mean but i have dialed them back !! a bit #bat tag #oao #but yes umm…..#*points 2 tag* communication issues? in a wolfstar fic? i shudder to think!#🤭
