One thing that Sense8 (especially in season 1) did REALLY well for me at least, is making me care about all 8 sensates in the cluster a lot. Sure, I’ve got favorites (and yes, they do change pretty much every episode or week), but I consistently am pulled into every single storyline for all 8 of the mains. Even though so much of season 1 is exposition for what it means to be a sensate, I don’t lose interest because all the mains are so interesting in their own right. I know it shifts in season 2, especially with the investigative/hiding from Whispers stuff, but season 1 is truly the blueprint for a pretty large main cast each getting their own, fleshed out, genuine storylines for me. There’s never a moment where I’m like “let’s move on to the next scene, I’m getting bored,” it’s just a whole line of bangers in a row every episode
hello 911lbr @pirrusstuff and I have decided that we are going to crowdsource a nickname for me because I've never had one. Give me your best and your worst
i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.
Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking.

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
