#gene talks

[geneslovee]

sorry to everyone in my theatre who was disturbed by my uncontrollable and extremely loud reaction to seeing

donald glover as the prowler LIKE it’s been SIX YEARS since they introduced him and they finally did something with him AND IT WASNT EVEN THE MCU

Barbie was a fun movie, but it is essentially an advertisement going over superficial third wave feminist talking points from 2014 and essentially argues that "it's not the system that needs to change, but the people who work at the top of the system." I'm going to fully write down my thoughts about it later, but I'm a bit disheartened at the number of people who are taking this as a Great Feminist Piece when it's really just a shallow expression of "wow sexism is bad" paid for and funded by a massive corporation (that would LOVE it if you bought their merch btw). ESPECIALLY disheartened by people who view critiques of the movie as made solely by anti-fun men who hate feminism. Babes, maybe stop sucking off a corporation that wants to package feminism in a cute pink box for you to uncritically consume, and instead consider that if this movie is supposed to be political commentary, then you should treat it and critique it like political commentary.

dichotomous plants are so weird man. like they’re not even weird it’s the becoming the dichotomous that’s weird. i went to a talk once about a population of strawberries that were accidentally slowly becoming dichotomous and they didn’t even have sex chromosomes, like they had like a bunch of genes across a bunch of chromosomes that did a little bit of sex but not a lot and it added up to one whole sex kind of but not enough that they had all collectively decided to be one sex or the other, so there was still like, a sizable chunk of the population that was producing flowers of both sexes. like they were microdosing it. taking the sex genes for a spin in the strawberry patch

Fenton Coded

Tim... Tim just stared.

He...

Huh.

He had once entertained the idea that he wasn't really a Drake, a very long time ago when he overheard his mom and dad arguing and some words were said in the heat of the moment, but to be honest Tim always thought the obvious culprit of anyone being his dad would most likely be Bruce (Bruce even admitted he had a small fling with his mother but that was two years before her marriage)

But before little Tim's curiosity could really take hold on the idea, he had saw on the news Robin performing a Grayson flip and the hint of Tim not being a Drake left his mind. Robin was Dick Grayson! And if he was Robin that had to mean Bruce Wayne was Batman!

Then well... his stalking of the Bats started and the rest became history.

But now, as Tim was staring at his own DNA test, something he never bothered to do until that damned Demon brat wanted to make sure he was ONLY blood son of Bruce (and doing a DNA test something even Bruce never thought of doing due to well… how he was towards Tim during his first months as Robin)

He well…

He kinda needs to find out who this Daniel Jackson Fenton is.

(Tim finds out he isn’t a Drake, but also not a Wayne (because Damian wanted to make sure he was only blood son) but is instead a Fenton)

Listen I've been watching a lot of movies with Gene Kelly lately and just wanted to dress up Clark as him. Even tho I think Gene Kelly looks more like Bruce or Brucie Wayne.

And if were talking about dance styles as a character study there could be a great case that Gene Kelly's dance style of using his whole body would be much more Bruce than Fred Astaire who Gene is often compared to who's dance style which is more foot-centric.

But Gene Kelly was known for dressing as the everyday man for his time and that's more Clark. Which doesn't matter.

Point being I bet Bruce has watched a lot of Gene Kelly movies with Alfred and you best believe if DC would allow a universe where Bruce could be at least bi he'd have a little bit of a crush on Gene when growing up and seeing his crush in the same atrie well ...

the taxonomy section of the wikipedia article about things named after tolkien and his works is insane.

loving the crazy ass scientists who named an absurd amount of grass-miner moths after tolkien characters. there’s a STUPID amount of elves btw.

also,

there’s more. would you still love them if they were worms….

there’s way more including Shrimp Baggins Family, a bunch of attempts (some successful some not) to name wasps after elves, dwarves and hobbits and like one amoeba named after gimli but honestly just go look at it yourselves it’s SO funny

Sexy women should not cosplay Kim Kitsuragi. I am gatekeeping Ltn. Kitsuragi. He was made for weird looking guys. He has a receding hairline and a little pencil mustache. Made for the transmascs and homos of the world. Small framed guy with huge glasses and a little pencil mustache. He was made for ME.

[neurotonic]

Couple of hivemind design thoughts, and first concept vs newest (?) mostly focused on what his hair should be because I am Very. Indecisive. Leaning more towards the dreadlocks right now.

Also yes I'm made aware that disco wasn't a big thing until the early 70's but it's okayyyyyy look he's a visionary he can do whatever he wants

from Shock cinema magazine #63, a interview with Jerrold Freedman about working on Prescription: Murder

[laniidae-passerine]

obsessed with the idea of What Will People Think that permeates actions in Barry. even though it’s a terrible idea, Barry goes on fun runs to support the family of the guy he murdered and posts evidence of it online because he wants to be seen as a good guy. Sally’s mother being more concerned about what the women from her church might say about Joplin than about the real abuse her daughter endured, because they don’t care about that. Cousineau making an awkward public apology to Annie and then later trying to capitalise on Barry’s arrest so he can be a big hero. The big song and dance Cristobal and Hank have to do to hide their relationship and trick people into thinking they’re enemies. Fuches constantly bragging about being The Raven because he wants to be the coolest guy in the prison yard. What people think doesn’t matter. What people think means everything.

I find it hilarious that no one is talking about how *Enid* is a Gomez. In love with life and everything in it, 150% passionate about everything. It makes sense she'll end up pulling a Morticia.
