if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

imo both gattaca and asteroid city are movies that unless you are able to see queer relationships in media for what they are (not just oh he was depressed and it was an ableist choice and that's it, oh augie was the only one grieving and jones wasn't), and i don't mean maliciously, because i've noticed that a lot of people just Genuinely Do Not Fucking Get It.

i expected to talk about the hair cutting implications at the end of gattaca when we discussed it in my film class last year and we didn't at all. like you guys watched the same movie right. you saw vincent give irene a single strand of hair as a gesture of romantic love and then at the end when jerome gave vincent a large amount of his own hair what did you see that as. what did you think was happening there. you cannot seriously think that jerome kills himself just because he thinks he's useless now because his completely platonic roommate doesn't need him anymore and the director wanted to be ableist. that cannot seriously be what you got out of the movie.

this morning my analysis of asteroid city was the only one that mentioned jones's and conrad's romantic relationship and acknowledged that jones was grieving throughout the entire movie. after hearing it one of my classmates was like "oh what you said with jones and the directors relationship i see that now". ... my brother in christ. they kissed on screen. they held hands. i just. okay. it's not like jones is clearly still mourning off set or anything. it's not like his grief is so much more obvious and real when he speaks about it through metaphor instead of him directly mentioning augie's dead wife or anything. it's not like he was desperate for an answer, to understand the play completely so that he could grieve conrad the "right" way, to really burn his hand on the griddle so he could finally understand what conrad wanted from the character and what he was trying to say. obviously that's just a hidden bonus interpretation instead of the Actual Fucking Plot Of The Movie.

I would like to personally thank Supergiant for taking a stand against Nintendo and promising Hades 2 on the Switch I, not just the Switch II like Nintendo announced.

I’ve been listening to No One Mourns the Wicked (well at least the first half, because I really like that part), and now a thought has come to my head to have Megatron die in my AU, with him also taking all the blame for the virus and the creation of the Decepticons and the chaos they caused

Since while he wasn’t fully responsible, he is technically the reason the virus broke out, and was intended to cause destruction in the first place, and it’s his clone responsible for that intended destruction, so he does have at least some part in it. Also he’s got his whole guilt thing going on, and presumably the clone guy also died, so someone needs to be held responsible, so Megatron decided it would be him

I did work out a scenario once where he tries to take blame for it all before, with it being after he learns the truth and doesn’t take it well, but I never figured out how that would be resolved, so maybe this scenario can take from that? But with the context different, since in that original he was absolutely in the wrong for doing so

I don’t know, it was just a thought, I haven’t worked out the logic. It was just the idea of the conflict ending with Megatron dying a hero, but being remembered by everyone outside of his friends and those there as the villain of the story. And also Optimus is still alive and just having to live with everyone seeing him as such

be one of disabled people who graduate college, especially severely disabled & higher support needs, privilege n don’t think anything erase that.

but also able graduate, really, think nothing short of miracle.

like. imagine:

able do no class work no reading barely listen in class except barest minimum graded assignments, one week late + ridiculous blanket one week assignment extension that used for every assignment (not supposed to), & others + only taking classes on topics already knew (same few topics, recycle over n over) & not have exams (took no class with exams entire time) bc couldn’t really learn new thing, by end couldn’t even do that anymore n just started taking art classes + doing creative assignment instead of essays any opportunity. n. that just snippet of academic side of things.

even people around me most don’t know these details n that was this bad. (or maybe they do but am just cannot read anything not explicitly said)

even fooled self because. even tho look like here talk abt severe disability high support needs 24/7, in practice actually often not register that there difference between typical disabled students around me n me. n didn’t realize compensatory survival strategies are. compensatory survival strategies. just thought it normal.

was a complex combo of. ton of right supports & right support people stacked just right (& very taken advantage of by me). any one of them missing. would have be forced drop out long time ago. (n. drop out. have a lot bigger consequences for me than typical people. …because some things)

n even all of that amounted to. barely survive to graduation.

aka. miracle.

Honestly, shout-out to everyone who is graduating highschool and getting ready to head off to college at a time when ChatGPT and other AI algorithm generators are running rampant, and even being encouraged in some cases.

Please don't use AI for your classes if you don't have to, guys, I beg of you.

If memory serves you had written before about Espio and Silver driving together in the TSR plot, but I also quite like imagining them having Extreme Gear races

Yes, that's true! The idea was that Silver had to learn to drive a car, based on my own godawful experiences with getting a license. But he at least had a much nicer and more patient teacher! <3

I might have written a story about them having Extreme Gear races as well, actually? Lemme check rq

one return from the depths of my Ao3 profile later Okay, this is interesting: I did, specifically for Flufftober 2022, and I never uploaded it XD Now that I'm rereading it, I don't like it much anymore, though. It's got Silver not knowing how the board works, and right now I figure that he would be able to figure it out much more quickly than what I'm writing there🤔 As for your idea, I guess Espio "borrows" Vector's stuff since I figure that is the only board they have laying around, and Silver brings the Psychic Wave over from the future, and that's what they race with together <3 Haha, in an actual competition I can imagine they team up to try and screw over the other racers as a duo, though! They can be seen at the back of the line whispering to each other, with Silver more than willing to help out because the Chaotix really need that cash price for Vector's fifty three-course meals or whatever it is that he wants. That's how the other racers know they might be in danger! XD
