#hol watches tng

[mifhortunach]

the Wonderful @rhavewellyarnbag (theirs here!) tagged me in a thing to list '8' shows to get to know me better - ty!

i honestly dont watch a lot of tv, so this is all over the place, deepest apologies:

The Terror (2018) - obviously!! if we have spoken it is almost certainly bc of this show. One of the purest alignments of all of my interests & 'concerns'- its got it ALL!: the arctic, old ships, guys being trapped in a place & set of social structures/roles, lots of ice, man-hauling, cannibalism, the historical voice resolving itself into fate(?), etc etc etc, the list just goes on & on.

Barry - in part just bc im thinking about it lots atm, in part bc, like the terror, its doing a lot of stuff i'm super into; who DOESNT like smth that's just looking real hard at what 'performing' means, as well as the violence in everything, and yknow... its funny

Beyond Belief - i dont think anyone should really watch this, BUT i watched SO much of this as a kid, and forced my friends to watch so much of it, that somewhere it surely must be deeply embedded in my psyche. when i first saw tng i was like, 'omg, your man from beyond belief???', watch the guaranteed video spoof instead (x) :)

spn - similar to above lbr. i watched almost all of it over a 1-2 month period when i was like. 14, and haven't seen it since really, but it did manage to introduce me to a surprising amount of music :/ - i DO believe there are some genuine bangers in there though; both songs & eps

The Tick - i'm mostly thinking of the '01 version i guess, but the 2016 series is honestly the better of the two. theres just really smth to how it works being a superhero as a gay metaphor, as well as how much it is genuinely just basically a superhero sitcom lol. the 2016 one has much more heart, but the 2001 id like to mold in my hands ykwim?

This Morning with Richard not Judy - bizarro late-90s comedy 'morning show', you can only find it kinda low-quality on youtube now. i dont think its either as daring or as weird as fist of fun, but some of the segments are pretty good, and i like its qualities of both repetition pushed to a breaking point, and refusal to be friendly with the audience.

The IT Crowd - genuinely would NOT rec, remember SO very little of it, but i DO think about that "a fire? at a sea-parks???" bit so SO often - unbelievable delivery - just watch that clip, and imagine that being a whole B or C plot for an episode of television, leave the rest

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - absolutely unique, matt holness is still the dirk gently casting of my dreams; you do have to put up with so much early 00s british comedian spotting tho

deanna omg stop being such a goddamn jerk

for christ’s sakes you’re a fucking counselor for one, second you’ve been on the other end of this type of thing SEVERAL OTHER TIMES BEFORE (including literally ongoing in this EP with a crewman who has lost her husband, gee deanna how can you tell her she’ll get by, you’ve never lost A HUSBAND before)

but oh no “you don’t know what it’s like! how can you know what it’s like to lose something you never had??!!” 

actually more like trek writers stop being asslamps about disability bc of how u abled people think that someone/u would react to suddenly becoming disabled. day 1 is not storming into your doctors and/or good friend’s house (or in deanna’s case doctor’s/good friend’s) office and yelling about how nobody could understand you and that things will never be all right, okay? that ain’t realistic.

like. yeah, disability can really suck. dealing with ur body suddenly changing up the rules of the game for no apparent reason other than its whims REALLY does suck (esp when u don’t know why something is happening and what could change next--if that’s what deanna’s freak out was about bc “oh hey a bunch of my brain cells just DIED for NO APPARENT REASON and you don’t know WHY BEVERLY??!! WHAT IF THIS CELL DEATH CONTINUES.  WHAT IF IT GOES TO LIKE SAY MY MEDULLA AND THE NEXT THING I LOSE IS MY ABILITY TO BREATHE WITHOUT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT.  DO I NEED CONSTANT SUPERVISION SO IF THAT HAPPENS WHEN SAY I’M SLEEPING I DON’T JUST DIE?????” like oh yeah totes magoats that’s a reaction i believe and feel esp bc my bod loves its inconclusive results too and i’ve wanted to have (or have had...v sorry to that cardiology PA that was at the receiving end of that sort of fear-induced rant) that reaction to doctors before bc yo losing that sense of control over ur body & the rules of ur existence is goddamn terrifying).  

but like....yeah, when something changes suddenly in the health to the point of being disabled and the cause is nebulous, it’s mostly a heavy dose of denial that hits and the belief that this is JUST temporary so it’s fine. and hey even when it’s clear it’s...not temporary, it’s more like “i can do Everything Just Like Before Nothing Has Changed” denial that happens. bc yeah, things have changed and u can still do a lot of stuff (maybe even all of the same stuff, depending on the dealio with disability), but it’s not exactly the same as before--maybe now you need a mobility aid, maybe now you need to take more rests, maybe you need a larger font size or screen reader, maybe you need to go to restaurants outside of peak business hours so you can talk/listen without interference from background noise, maybe you can only Do The Thing when it’s below 70 degrees out.  (and yes, maybe you can’t do that thing anymore; that is less relevant to the analogy the writers were trying to make here by having an empathic counselor losing her empathic powers bc...like, in-universe there are psychologists and ship’s counselors who don’t have empathic or telepathic powers and they still do their job perfectly fine; just losing something someone relies heavily on to aid in their job of counseling would make someone need to re-learn how to do that job without that bc they couldn’t do their job in the same exact way as always).  

“i can’t live like this” freakouts do happen. but. not a ton*. bc. look. ur there. living “like this”. ur doing it right as ur having that thought. and you grow and adapt. sometimes there is frustration and rage and grief (esp on bad days), i’m not saying there’s not. it’s just....so much less DRAMATIC than abled people think it is (coming from a former abled person) *excluding severe chronic pain in my experience bc yeah...been there, done that, could not have continued living like that for very long bc i would’ve taken steps to Make It Stop bc it was like “death. unfortunate. still better than living all my waking moments (which is ALL MY MOMENTS bc i’m in TOO MUCH PAIN TO SLEEP) in what i’d imagine the cruciatus curse wishes it felt as terrible as tho.”; fortunately the body’s pain tantrum calmed itself down not too long after that but...yeah. real bad chronic pain is a soul-sucking monster that tortures you and after enough of it, literally anything looks better than that and in some of those really bad days i finally felt like i understood (also envied) what was going on in my poor cat’s head when he self-amputated his own tail due to nerve pain bc biting off that body part would Make It Stop and Making It Stop was the only way to go on bc frankly if it wasn’t my abdomen that was the problem like that sounded like a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem, but alas you can’t exactly amputate an abdomen, and definitely not with just human teeth at ur disposal, so like even counting Trouble’s phantom limb syndrome that continued until his death seems like he got the better end of things there

I don't know a lot about klingon culture yet (I watched tos, middle of tng, learning tlhlngan Hol on Duolingo)-as the local expert & cool inspiration what do you think about the probability/potential of a subculture/fashion based around apriciating technology and engineering, sort of like a mix between Motorcycle Optimizing social groups, cyberpunk, and a more loose system of Honor where being The First to do something counts as defeating others who hadn't been able to do it?

I mean honestly beyond knowing the language, I don't have a particularly huge knowledge of klingon culture either, I'm kinda just talking out of my ass with the va'Sun stuff tbh, but that sounds awesome! honestly when it comes to imagining stuff about star trek aliens the world's your oyster because the show is so limited in the way that it shows stuff and there's infinite room for just making stuff up far away from the stuff that gets shown

(and if you ever make any content about that technology subculture I'd love to see it!)

also before i forget watching tng last night woke up my cli/nt bar/ton& hol/land mar/ch muses and gave me holly muse so if u wanna plot with any of these three like this & i’ll hit u up

[abandonthefort]

reasons i wish i were a klingon: the ability to say “with all due respect, BEGONE!” and not catch any flack for it

[abandonthefort]

“the royale” more like hotel california

[abandonthefort]

wtf wtf wtf
