The ocean hungers

I miss the Oceangate submarine news story. When will more unscrupulous rich people be poetically killed by their own machines and disregard for human life? When will Elon Musk get karmically exploded by one of his own rockets or cars? smh

[thevoidlookedback]

Y’all (the interview with the vampire fandom) are freaks (affectionate)

[thevoidlookedback]

Why

[thevoidlookedback]

Pleakley and the mosquitos

enamored by the concept of alien scientists arriving to study Earth and just. not paying special attention to human beings

I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.

Apparently it's also very funny.

Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.

Sorry about the rant I'm just SO sick of this "we have to be on all the time never look away if you aren't upset about politics and traumatizing yourself watching people die on Twitter you're wrong and complicit and evil" like I know things are fucked and we need to stay angry but we can do that while also taking a minute to crack open a cold one with the boys or have gay sex or get tipsy at the line dance, we HAVE to have joy to remember why the fuck we're refusing to give up in the first place. Fight like hell for your loved ones and then also go home with them to smoke weed and drink sweet tea and make biscuits covered in honey and butter please, please don't deprive yourself of joy, you're allowed to be happy BEFORE the work is done. You're allowed to be happy.

I want to see Dean Winchester, Alex Karev, and Clark Kent ala Smallville (2001) locked in a room. The self enforced toxic masculinity could level a small city.

you can't sit there and tell me that dean winchester and alex karev wouldn't be best friends.

[thevoidlookedback]

They are 100% the same person

yeah

imagine lawlight yuri but they're magical girls both L and light are magical girls and they're like mortal enemies or something Light would be a new magical girl and instead of only just fighting off villains she murders criminals in secret using her powers for justice

L would be the one that has been a magical girl since she was very young does the villain fighting once in a while for obligation purposes but enjoys detective work more and started taking up a case for criminals mysteriously dying and knew its from a work of another magical girl

You should know this is how I first heard of Quantum Leap (1989)

i think that the leverage character most equipped to handle a quantum leap situation would of course be sophie. she would figure out the problem she was supposed to be there to solve faster than the computer possibly could, although whether she chooses to solve the problem or not is at her own discretion (for argument's sake let's say she operates on rules more following the evil leapers, so being trapped in the past without fulfilling her objective is less of an issue). nate would be her hologram and she wouldn't listen to a damn thing he said.

after her i strongly believe hardison would actually do really well since he's so good at yes-anding. yeah, if he ends up decently far back in the past he's going to complain about old technology, but he's still somehow going to completely pull it off. parker is his hologram and she doesn't give him useful advice despite knowing a lot but he likes being able to show her how competent he is. because he can pick up skills so quickly he's able to adapt to most leaps in record time.

eliot would love being in a quantum leap situation. he loves getting to take the universe's orders and save people. infinite redemption machine that grinds him up and spits him out, his favorite. however hardison would be his hologram and he would be so mad. he's still not as good as sophie or even hardison though.

nate thinks he would do really well but he would start absolutely losing it because it's a situation that is Completely out of his control and he can't handle that. sophie is his hologram and he does something to unintentionally erase her from existence at some point and sterling ends up being it instead (a la a leap for lisa) and THAT would make nate go absolutely off his rocker. he would also use leaping to yell at god literally every episode. he keeps ending up in timelines where he has to save someone's son and it destroys his psyche.

parker would love like the first three leaps where she has to land a plane, stop a car crash by blowing something up, etc but the second there's an emotional problem she freaks the fuck out. hardison is also her hologram but he has a hard time helping her with the emotional stuff just because it scares her to have it around him on top of everything else. in one of her later leaps, when she finally feels secure, she has the opportunity to save her brother and it puts her in a tailspin. she succeeds though :)

breanna is somehow the most like sam? parker is her hologram and she helps talk her through the more technical stuff, but she's really good at the emotional side and (like hardison) her ability to pick up certain skills fast gives her an edge. she believes firmly the world can change because she Has to hang onto that belief, and the small-scale nature of a lot of her leaps can really get her down. she wants to be doing More. but! the small stuff helps people! and like sam she is always having side character romances. i am always saying that breanna would date a psychic.

harry is honestly really bad at being a leaper but he Is down for anything. he's good enough at the practical stuff--put him on the stand to save a man from being wrongfully executed and he will pour his heart into the leap--but the second he has to stop someone from divorcing he starts throwing up. however if the leap is something like bringing rock and roll back to a small town? he is all over that shit. sophie is obviously his hologram. she keeps telling him al-style stories about her ex husbands who are all made up.

Okay that was actually pretty good

Watching Bottoms (2023)

The first eight minutes were unenjoyable.

I was about call it quits.

And then the lesbians hit the football player with their car. I recommend sticking it out til then.

I’m really tired of tumblr misogyny. Take some time to notice what trends. I know the trending function is fucked, but damn if you see a woman there more often than not.

I’m tired of shows being propped up as a diversity win as if the cast isn’t 5 men to every 2 women. Y’all can’t even get to half?

I’m tired of babygirlification. I’m tired of babyboyificiation.

I’m tired of internet misogyny. I’m tired of real life misogyny.

Do you know how many fandoms have no women?

Sometimes kissing isn’t enough. Sometimes you need to lay on the roof and stare at the moon and wish there were stars. Sometimes you need to drive somewhere—anywhere—and get concerning amounts of drive-through fast food. Pull into the parking lot, or some place a little more abandoned. Turn on the radio, listen to whatever bullshit they’re playing just to fill the void with sound. Eat your heart out, laugh, cry, watch rain roll down the windows, complain at each other about things we both already know. Then, maybe, crawl into the backseat and fuck so lazily it might as well just be cuddling. We’re just pushing our bodies together, you know? Talking, laughing, saying stupid lines that don’t work on each other anymore.

“Yeah? It’s fine—you’re prettier than the moon anyways, baby.”

“Shut the fuck up and get back down here, I swear to—“

You’re leaning into the sensations, draped over each other in ways that have to be uncomfortable. You’d be like this anywhere. You’d do anything. You cum, and neither of you stop, because that’s not really the point. You’re passing time, getting close to each other, fucking because it’s almost an instinct at this point, like it’s just love made physical and all those stupid stories. You used to hate them. You kinda still do. You used to think they were bullshit, though, that sex was meaningless and love was a sickening-feverhot-miserable pastime. That’s not true anymore.

You’re both collapsing, tired out. It’s cuddling now, naked and sweaty and all too close to each other. You’d stay like this all night if it was safe. The drive back is lighter, less tired, less heavy. Catharsis is a hell of a coping mechanism.

Anyways, yeah, sometimes kissing isn’t enough. Sometimes you need whatever that was. <3

Fanfic Recommendation but it’s just the Author’s Note:

“There is also an infidelity issue, I guess, but this fic does not really deal with that. I am not a very good monogamist. I think I would not begrudge my partner from fucking an alternate reality version of myself, but I will probably never be in a position to verify that.”
