I swear I'm trying to type out the thing about my brain but I'm really not sure how much detail I feel comfortable going into... I used to be so open on here, but then uh, I had several big falling outs with friends and a couple of them started stalking me, so I left my blog on queue since 2014 and then stopped posting from 2016 to 2020. The only place I felt comfortable making posts relating to my personal life or mildly dissenting fandom-related posts was on a locked twt account with only 20-40 people on it.

Anyway, I'm Trying

now that suddence is out to betas i'm oscillating between getting more and more self conscious and overthinking about everything that might be wrong with the story vs. knowing that is literally THE POINT of betas and i can't in good conscience let my story slide out into the world with a bunch of faults i didn't catch simply because i was too close to it

I used to always see millenials complain that older people talked about them like they were children despite many millenials being in their 20s at the time so I'm very surprised so many of them are doing the exact same thing to gen z

I'm Ichikamaxing right now. I memoryholed my middle school years due to social issues so fucking badly that I don't even remember which years I was in middle school for.

why does it seem like i was the only one who learned something at school, like i will talk with someone about, like, the great northern war or atomic numbers, or the difference between weight and mass etc, and they will stare at me like they're hearing it for the first time. we went through the same education system. darling. those are the basics darling. DARLING

happy spooky month ! i haven't prepared anything for this day but i did this study (?) yesterday ft. kristoph gavin in that scene from a clockwork orange ! sorry mr gavin, sometimes evil blond twinks must be put through heinous experiments that change your nature to the very core, it's nothing personal.

i see this one criticism of the movie where some fans think the reconciliation between mav and rooster happened too quickly or too easily and it's like...the reason it happened so quickly and easily was because the whole thing wasn't that deep to begin with lmfao. rooster was just being a little bitch for the past 20 years. the whole paper pulling thing wasn't a big enough deal for him to not have spoken to his foster father for this long and it especially was not a big enough deal for him to be spewing the amount of hate and vitriol he was at mav twenty fucking years later. the second he stopped being a bitch they reconciled. simple.

it's why a lot of the fan written stuff that delves deeper into the estrangement and rooster's angst and how much of a betrayal it apparently was for him doesn't work at all for me because...it wasn't this great big betrayal and he doesn't have much justification for his behaviour towards mav for the past twenty fucking years.

As I've said a few times, Sonic's been an orphan as long as she can remember. Not a single thought in her head that gives her even the shakiest outline of what her family might/could have been.

It makes family stuff agonizingly weird for her. She has no frame of reference for what to do, how those really work, and just.. anything good or bad on the matter. So she tries to avoid it, if she can, just so she doesn't show how unknowledgeable she is.

Because she doesn't Like people knowing she's an orphan, really, and because once some do there's usually that... shift, y'know? That sort of view of someone as a person to someone that needs to be pitied. So it's just not something she'd bring up unless the situation Really calls for it, or a close friend confronts her on the topic.

It's also why she's SO very protective of her friends. They're the closest thing to a family she's ever had and probably will ever have, even if she has trouble putting that into such simple words.

Actually. I love high school kids.

We keep finding space stations, and we don't know why yet.

Most are in orbit around planets, but plenty more are orbiting moons, stars, the odd black hole, or just floating in deep space.

Their age varies, some are so old that just getting close enough to dock makes them shatter like glass, others are so recently constructed that the lights are still on and the reactors are still fueled. All are empty of any life or robots smarter than a roomba.

The ones orbiting planets are orbiting dead worlds, or living worlds where nothing on them is smart enough to launch a space station.

The stations in deep space are weirder. The most information came from the one by Epsilon Eridani. A massive installation, it had docking rings for hundreds of vessels, all empty. It was in remarkable shape for how old it was (from the unrepaired micrometeorite impacts, we estimate it has been abandoned for about 3000 years), so we were able to access a lot of information from its main computer. We found the coordinates of several home planets, and visited them all. All were dead, empty, or in one case, simply missing. The star was still there, the other uninhabitable planets mentioned in the databanks were there, but their homeworld? Gone. No debris or expanding gas cloud, it's just missing.

And that's the thing: if we found space stations along with abandoned ruins of ground-based installations, that'd make sense. If we met dozens of living races, amongst a few empty satellites of long dead races, that'd also be expected. But this is all the evidence we're not alone in the universe we've found.

We've sent probes to over half the stars in this galaxy and visited hundreds in crewed spacecraft, but the empty space stations are the only evidence of alien life. Every planet is either a sterile husk, a gas giant, or a vibrant living world with nothing smarter than a giraffe living on it. Oh, there's strange life forms of every kind! But none of them seem sapient, certainly not sapient enough to build a space station.

Where is everyone? We've been asking that question since we first understood the Drake Equation and the Fermi paradox, but the question has taken on a new form as we've gone to the stars and found endless empty houses in the sky.

It's the difference between looking at an empty desert and walking through an abandoned city. In both cases, there's a silent emptiness, but in the latter case, it seems to contain a sinister element. This place is empty, but it shouldn't be. Something made it empty, and we haven't found out why yet.

We keep looking, and keep listening to the echoes of our own footsteps in the silent habitats.
