The Artemis stuff reminds me of when I was at work earlier in the summer and there was a fairly big launch happening like. Two miles away.

If any of y’all have been within twenty miles of a launch, you get it. If you’ve been within five miles of a launch, you get it. How loud those suckers are.

You would think I’m talking about the sonic boom. The notorious sound of a rocket breaking the sound barrier, or the boosters upon reentry. Sonic booms rattle the windows and doors for miles around.

I’m not talking about those, though. I can sleep through a sonic boom. Lots of practice.

Nope, it was the fucking boosters. Landing. Very close to my place of employment.

We all went out to watch the launch because hey, I’m usually a few more miles out and my coworkers are either out of towners or just plain love space.

Rocket launched. Cool, impressive, makes even the bitchiest fifty year old man giddy. We all look at each other like “wow, isn’t this great?” The rocket disappears, and we watch for the boosters next. Sometimes (maybe even all the time now), they try to land ‘em out at sea or something. Honestly, it’s hard to keep track of what we can do. Progress is beautiful, yadda yadda yadda.

After a few minutes, we see them descending. This is the closest I’ve seen it in awhile. For all I’m acting casual about it, for every time I saw it growing up, for the thousands of times I will see it again, it is still capable of making me feel like I’m a seven year old girl who wants to be an astronaut again, like my dad is still bringing me rolled up posters and coffee table books full of stars, like we’re sitting on bleachers way up close and I’m tired and grumpy because it’s five and I’m a child but the minute I hear the rumble I forget what sleep even is. How many cups of coffee do I owe this man?

So yeah, I pay attention every time.

The boosters touched down just below the tree line. We wait for the sound.

And wait.

And wait.

Just when I open my mouth to suggest hey, maybe they aren’t that loud?

The loudest fucking sound I’ve ever heard makes every single person around me jump a foot off the ground. It was this booming, cracking wave of noise. I’m pretty sure I screamed a little bit. This sounded like an explosion. I actually looked to see if there was an explosion. Forget the windows, my entire car shook.

After my heart stopped trying to escape my chest and I returned to my paperwork, buzzing on the proximity for the first time in a minute, I could not wipe the smile off my face.

Rockets, stars, a ringing in my ears. I’m never going to get tired of it. I never have, in almost twenty years.

How cool is that? How cool is the future?

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

I will forever be obsessing over Laios imaging himself as a wolf (a dangerous animal, and one that is [albeit falsely] associated with loneliness) and Marcille imagining him as a cute dog. It shows how negatively he thinks of himself after his fight with Shuro, and how even if he worries now that he's a nuisance to people/can't fit in, NOBODY PERCEIVES HIM THIS WAY. HE'S JUST A SILLY GUY. MARCILLE ASSOCIATES HIM WITH THE DOG BECAUSE HE'S LOYAL AND LOVEABLE.
