A random thought splayed out over the stressed mind:

My forever favorite part in Beyond This Morning is when Butch, Brick and Boomer are together in the B-3 bar but each are doing and minding their own business like good ol adults they are: Butch enjoying spicy margaritas and snacks with Buttercup and her friends/colleagues, Brick drinking alone in some corner of the bar, texting Blossom and finally, Boomer entertaining his patrons, bringing out refills, occasionally chitchatting with Butch, Buttercup and the rest while also simultaneously not leaving out his other brother by teasing him.

An added treat to this chapter was Brick's texts to Blossom, their exchange, how he uncharacteristically waited for her replies and how he ended up asking her out.

There's something warm, something genuinely calming on how the whole setting was written. Everything was balanced from Buttercup's thoughts, to Butch's delivery of jokes, to Boomer's intuitive gestures to catch everyone's back, to Brick's developing affection happening in privacy just in a corner of a room. All little moments unmissable.

Man I love this fic.

I NEED to know their thoughts on the IWTV show

More Flatland stuffff~~~

[Cursive transcript: I'm so sorry this is so sudden, but I had to keep my Chosen safe!]

So, uh, the 4th dimension, am I right?????

So, on my last post, people were more interested in A. Tesseract than I thought. I did not expect her to stir so much interest, but here you go lol.

More under the cut lol / lots of notes:

Some basic information on 4th dimensional beings:

They refer to themselves as "hypersolids" and "polytopes". Only Tesseracts prefer a different name than just "hyper(insert shape here)". When talking to other dimensional beings, they call themselves "Spacelanders".

They usually keep their eyes closed, and they do not emote much.

Their bodies naturally morph as they talk. They are also partially transparent, so you can see their inside movements. Not organs or anything, but the next emotions or actions they are going to express. Sort of like key frames or a fade in effect.

They call "Spacelanders" "Heightlanders".

Their civilization is located in space. They are able to breathe through little pockets of air on their rings that recharge when they enter the atmosphere of other plants. (This is why they are spotted relatively frequently)

Buildings are constantly moving spirals. They also fly everywhere, so they require a lot of energy to maintain their health. Luckily, any stars nearby tend to charge them up just fine.

Also, everyone goes by they/them along with another pronoun if they choose. Gender constructs be damned (or certain groups are fighting for that).

There will be more once I think of it, but that's what I have in the world-building department right now.

Some basic information on Angelica "A." Tesseract (she/they):

She tends to say "I'm sorry" after anything they might think could have been of inconvenience or offensive.

They are relatively soft-spoken, but they are incredibly smart compared to her peers.

Her quiet nature causes others to disrespect and step all over her.

She overthinks LITERALLY EVERYTHING. You could tell her something that is even the slightest bit vague and they have the chance of spiraling.

She KNOWS there are more than four dimensions, but they are struggling to prove it with science.

They are much more emotional compared to other hypersolids. They tend to cry easily.

She chose A. Sphere because of his confidence and drive to get his points across. They admire him for that.

Some basic information on A. Sphere in this:

He's much less snarky. His whole vision of the world was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and he's stuck in another world completely unknown to him. He's going though it currently.

He's still blunt about everything. If you suck, he'll tell you. If you are cool, it'll take a little longer, but he'll tell you.

He got his eye busted after the attack on Messiah Inc. When getting removed from "Heightland", his eye got caught in the blow last minute and it got damaged. He can still open it slightly, but he can't see out of it.

He was relatively indifferent to seeing his body transparent. He was more worried about his eye injury over anything else.

At first, he did not like A. Tesseract (cuz kidnapping), but he learns to appreciate the gesture and does his best to help her out.

[Cursive transcript: For now, I'm afraid so... sorry. / I'm so sorry. If I was just a but faster, I could have saved your eye.]

Yeah, their friendship starts out really rough.

A. Sphere adjusted to the environment very poorly at first. He was very standoffish and snappy, but it then soured to just sorta feeling sad all the time. He gets better eventually the more he learns about the world, but it takes a lot of effort out of A. Tesseract to get him there.

I mean, he expected to die, lost his eye, everyone in "Heightland" hates him now, he lost his business and research, and he fails to take the blame for anything for a while. I would also be super pissed and sad.

A. Tesseract was not any better. She feels an incredible amount of guilt for not stepping in in time to prevent A. Sphere's eye damage, and she constantly apologies to him for everything. This sucks for A. Sphere since he finds it super annoying.

[Cursive transcript: N. H.Sphere: You weren't supposed to bring them HERE! / A. Tesseract: I'm sorry, I had to save him- / N. H.Sphere: I should fire you-!]

N. H.Sphere is a mega grouch. He is A. Tesseract's boss who treats her terribly. Discrediting her work, ignoring their research, and just not valuing her opinion cuz women, he is not fun to talk to or just be around in general. No one knows how HR lets him stay in charge, but some theorize that he pays them off or something.

Despite all of the traumatic crap A. Sphere has gone though in this story, he still does not stand for disrespect from anyone. When he learns that A. Tesseract is constantly being pushed around by her bitchy boss, he decides to defend her.

This solidifies their friendship and later science partnership when the story ends. This also makes N. H.Sphere more resentful towards both A. Tesseract an A. Sphere. This leads to A. Tesseract actually getting fired from her job. Thanks A. Sphere.

[Cursive transcript: N. H.Sphere: Why are you so scared? He's fine! / A. Tesseract: It's my un-medicated anxiety!!]

One of the downsides of being in the 4th dimension and living in space is that the gravitational pull is super sporadic with no real patterns. Some areas have super powerful gravity while others have zero. 4th dimension beings have learned to adjust perfectly fine.

The pressure changes and general lack of oxygen negatively impact A. Sphere's body, however, so to help him be okay, he sits in those vacuum boxes that allow for added pressure to be put on him to help even his breathing. He usually isn't put in unless he is fading in and out of consciousness, since he hates the confined space. It freaks out A. Tesseract every time it happens.

Her boss thinks she's stupid for worrying so much and using company tech. A. Tesseract worries more for A. Sphere than keeping her job, so she ignores N. H. Sphere.

[Cursive transcript: Care to see him again?]

Outside of the partial angst and stuff, this dimension is the reason why A. Sphere shows up in A. Square's hallucination.

During A. Square's trauma-induced hallucination, he shows up in the 4th dimension briefly with the Monarch of Pointland. A. Sphere and A. Tesseract take notice, and she offers him the ability to talk to A. Square one last time for closure reasons.

In this version, this scene would be longer, with A. Sphere possibly apologizing for denying the existence of the 4th dimension and not being able to assist A. Square in the way he wanted to. It's more wholesome and conclusive than transactional like in the movie. The other stuff is there too, but having more sentimental moments would be so cool.

I am very sorry how messy these particular doodles are, I was drawing all these super late at night during my shift, so I was not paying much attention to the flow of the images. When the inspo hits, you don't really realize how incohesive they are until you start photographing the images to post lol

Thank you once again for reading this whole thing, and have a wonderful day :)

feeling the overwhelming urge to write a deeply self-indulgent doctor who/star trek crossover fic right now, because you know who else would fall so fucking hard for the master's goofy little spy schtick? julian bashir, that's who.

little yap

will this be about escaped audios because I refound some old (1yr old) content and i need to talk about it or i physically will implode? yes.

OKAY VIDEO ONE;

PARODY VIDEO OF DADE AUDIOS, SIREN SON ASMR, SCYTHE AUDIOS, BIG MAN ASMR, REDACTED AUDIOS - FEB 23, 2023

Why do I bring this up? solely because of how real these audios are (accuracy is on point) and the references in Escaped’s part. Don’t believe me? Let me list every fucking character in that singular like 3 1/2 minute clip

-Villain Escaped (I forgor his name but is HEAVILY underrated) ~ Against The World

-Crow (fan beloved) ~ Neon Barbarian, Neon Wings, (POSSIBLY) Neon Memoriam(?)

-Goblin guy (who is just me core) ~ Sneaky Goblin Ruins Everything (WHY DOES HIS PLAYLIST NOT EVEN HAVE 1k VIEWS BRO :()

-Alfonso (MY MALEWIFE HONEY I LOVE YOU) ~ Matador Gothic

-Slasher (haven’t listened to him yet but I’m like 98% positive someone says I’m Slasher in the sfx) ~ Slash And The Basher

Besides that, it felt like an accurate example of what happens in an Escaped Audios video. im looking at you, You “Accidentally” Stomp On Stuart Little 874,635 Times, Drinking Your Dominant Bully Soda Can + Cute Microwave Warms You, and the parody video.

VIDEO TWO; ROM3O: YOUR AI BOYFRIEND FINALLY GETS A BODY - FEB 19, 2023

when i say i am a die hard fan of ai speaker audios like this, Abandoned Ai Wants You to Stay by Shining Armor ASMR, etc I love them. So to know that this lovely one shot existed makes me scream /pos.

I don’t think I can physically explain how amazing it was to watch it. like it’s something you absolutely didn’t expect. do i love Kenneth? hell yeah Kenneth is my No. 1 man. If Kenneth has no fans you’re wrong. even in goddamn death I’ll be a fan of Kenneth. but can i like just- THE NIGHTMARE SEGMENT???? IT ISNT AN ESCAPED AUDIOS AUDIO WITHOUT ONE BUT JESUS CHRIST. I feel like I -me, fronzie- would genuinely be terrified if that ever actually happened to me. I adore the way Escaped took it with the dystopian sci-fi ‘tech rules the world’ route. Yeah it’s overused but if used correctly it seems so fresh and untouched.

now if you don’t mind me, I’ll be making my fan art for ROM3O and for bvz 6

RIP Connie Chiume, Charles Cyphers and Patti Yasutake

Three actors passed away and here is my combined remembrance:

Remembering Patti Yasutake 1953-2024

Yasutake as Nurse Ogawa

Actress Patti Yasutake has died at 70. She was well-known to Trekkies for playing Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation between 1990 and 1994, in the underrated passing-the-torch movie Star Trek: Generations, and Star Trek: First Contact. Other notable performances included Gung Ho, Drop Dead Gorgeous, as George's mother on Beef (which I named my #1 TV Show of 2023).

The link above is the obit from Deadline.

Remembering Charles Cyphers 1939-2024

Cyphers and Donald Pleasence in Halloween

Actor Charles Cyphers has died at 85. He was well-known to Halloween fans as Sheriff Leigh Brackett in the 1978 original Halloween, the 1981 sequel Halloween II, and David Gordon Green's 2021 Halloween Kills (the middle of DGG's trilogy). In addition to Halloween, he worked with John Carpenter on several films including Assault on Precinct 13, The Fog, and Escape from New York. Other notable performances include Roots, Hal Ashby's Coming Home, the 1995 Seinfeld episode "The Hot Tub", and an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Remembering Connie Chiume 1952-2024

Chiume (left) in Black Panther

South African actress Connie Chiume has died at 72. She was well-known to MCU fans for playing Zawavari in Black Panther (which I included in my 10 Best Movies of 2018 list) and returning Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

[hetagrammy]

this is very random but do you have any misc tolys hc? i've been pondering him recently

I have a few!

I think a lot of people hc this, but he is the king of mushroom hunting

He goes on hikes and trails a lot (...probably off the trail more often than not)

He's really good at detail work on patterns in art, but can't draw people (like have you SEEN Lithuanian easter eggs??)

Still has an amber pendant he was given as a child

Speaking of which, he has so. much. amber. A lot of them are inclusions of plants he's collected over the years

Even though he is the Secretary™ he didn't learn to read and write until he married Poland

He and Latvia are brothers to me and he loves him so so much

He has the most basic hair care routine and nobody understands how his hair stays so soft and bouncy. France is crying shitting throwing up

He also cuts his hair himself because he cannot stand the idea of anyone else touching it, he will go feral

He was the first one to throw hands with Prussia when they got stuck together post-war (Prussia kept goading him and saying shit that could get everyone in trouble)

Still hangs out with Ireland and Romano in the present-day, they're pack bonded for life (coincidentally Ireland has a pretty high population of Lithuanian immigrants now)

Very close friends with Ukraine, they have tea and cigarettes together when time allows for it

Also actually friends with Prussia nowadays, them going through the Iron Curtain together and working through their beef changed some things

Alfred's phone ringtone for him is the Space Jam theme

Got tagged by @havendance to share my top 6 movies of 2024! (Technically tagged on the sideblog, but im putting it here)

Getting tagged in this game was really funny to me, because of the 22 movies I watched this year 14 of them were either DC movies or required for my Spanish class. That's over 60% of the stuff i watched lol. And the thing that makes it worse is when I include movies i watched for other school stuff it brings the number up to almost 80%. I've literally only seen 4 movies this year that weren't DC comics or required for school lmao. Anyways "top" 6: (bc some of these don't deserve the word top applied)

Yes these are vaguely in order though there's maybe some movement (1 and 2 can honestly go either way)

The Suicide Squad and Krypto and top tier in terms of enjoyment, while Sixth Sense and Akelarre (also titled Coven of Sisters but changing it for the English release was stupid imo so im ignoring that) I'd consider movies that are like Good that I also liked (though Akelarre specifically is depressing AS FUCK). The Batman id put in the middle between the two groups (but like it was also long and i got kind of bored at one point idk. Needs a rewatch in the post-Penguin world).

I feel like I'm cheating by putting the Star Wars Holiday Special on here bc it does NOT deserve it, but there was no obvious 6th pick for me (split between 3 mid movies and none rlly stood out) so I just went for recency bias (watched yesterday) and put Star Wars: THS, a movie which is like the horribly malformed and disowned lovechild between real star wars and a 70s variety show if everyone was doing cocaine (which they were!). Only recommend watching that one with friends really to inturrupt with jokes but honestly was better than I expected, despite being the worst thing I've watched this year.

Uhm tagging @threephantomrey @cometcrystal @tubapun bc they like movies 👍 (and also everyone else but yeah)

Movie Review: Mystery Island: Winner Takes All

Hallmark movies place crime solvers in all sorts of curious situations. Police have been paired up with crossword editors, bakers, home renovation pros, literature professors, archaeologists, dancers, fashion designers… the list goes on and on. Other times, it’s less about the unexpected pairings and more about the locale. A college campus, a morning TV show, Martha’s Vineyard… big cities and…
