Double ask anon - would love to see you try and group which episodes are Lonely. There's one that was and I saw you struggling to place it before and I'm So curious if you'd get it now. Don't want to point you there even though I don't think it's rly spoilers but yeah.... Just. Lonely is my favourite too so in my mind I just scream a little in excitement when I shows up - 2️⃣

I was thinking about this last night kinda because there’s some episodes where i have NO IDEA what they sort in to.

what the FUCK is the Man Who Eats The Computer supposed to go to and the Homophobic Vase i just don’t Understand

Anyways There are a few things i think go into The Lonely:

Mag 13: Alone, obviouslyyyy, but it also gives the hint that mist? is a part of The Lonely, because if Jon hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t of noticed. In this case,

Mag 33: Boatswains Call, is ALSO part of The Lonely, and though i didn’t know it was called The Lonely, i connected the two only because Jon mentioned mist like “hm more mist” so i went oh OKAY they’re connected !! And looking back, IM FUCKING RIGHT !!! The ship in ep 33 is owned by a company ran by Nathaniel Lukas, and the Lukas family ALSO provides fundings to the Magnus Institute (as well as various others academic and research organizations), which can explain why Elias doesn’t want them to bother the Lukas’s. I still think it’s history though; Jonah knew Mordechai Lukas, friends, friends with Fundings, that sort. Speaking of THAT,

Mag 92: Nothing Beside Remains, aka what I refer to as one of the Jonah Letters, specifically the one from Barnabas Bennett. this is such a giveaway Lyrker, why bring it up? BECAUSE, this letter gives out two things that are effects of The Lonely. One, which is a bit iffy, Barnabas Bennett mightve just been going mad, but he swears he can hear mocking voices of his friends, but there’s nobody. TWO, when his cab driver picked him up, he could not discern who his driver was. THIS goes in relation to

Mag 48: Lost in the Crowd, where Andrea Nunis encounters, likely, Gerard Keay, who tells her she is marked, which also leads into my theory that Fears mark specific people in some way whether it be physical or not, you now belong to That Fear. She later gets lost in a crowd looking for someone she was traveling with, and she NEVER travels alongside someone, but hey, making friends! However, she could not discern a single feature on any of the people in the crowds faces, as well as coherent words, no matter if it was in a different language, nothing was discernerable. Her traveling partner likely went missing because of The Lonely, and when it catches you, you cannot escape.

However, you are mentioning that I couldn’t quite place an event, and i think that event was

Mag 57: Personal Space. Being isolated from everyone in space already points a little to The Lonely, but what REALLY hit it for me was that Carter Chilcott suddenly could no longer see the Earth. Any little comfort that you’re not the only one, any little reassurance of any kind, even if it’s millions of miles away, is Too Much company. It means you’re not Truly lonely. So it took away the Earth from his vision. It meant he was truly and utterly alone, not even the comfort of his thriving home planet he couldn’t even interact with, millions of miles away, was there, stolen from his vision.

YEAH I THINK I GOT IT LOOK AT ME !!!! IM ON A ROLL

#my little red strings going EVERYWHERE #i really like the Daedalus episodes #it gets so fucking existential #and like they tried to Die #there’s one more person on that ship #i wonder if we’ll hear from them. #tma #the magnus archives #THEORIZING #ask #anon #double ask anon

rewatching disco has been a gift because knowing what happens in the overarching plot means I get to stop being mad at different thematic issues and stop and appreciate every episode individually for what they are and some of the go so much harder when I’m not sitting around mad that Michael still isn’t captain or we’re on the 7th consecutive episode of no real mystery resolution or there’s yet another interpersonal conflict that’s mildly uncomfortable to watch

#have I made this post before? #new eden is an easy episode to like because it’s so self-contained #meanwhile project daedalus and unification iii I did not like and found difficult to watch #one for obvious reasons the other because it wasn’t what I wanted it to be #and it wasn’t until after such sweet sorrow that I could go back and appreciate the former #and not until a few episodes into s4 that I so at peace with where they were going with michaels character that i liked all of u3 #and don’t even get me started on there is a tide #I keep seeing people reassuring new watchers that you sort of have to just get through s1 if you find it too heavy #and like s4 does not feel as earned unless you watch everyone eat shit for the first 2 seasons #it isn’t the therapy and feelings ship until after everyone on board gets ptsd lol

[cetology]

being the only anime watcher in my friend group is so fun bcuz i’ll be talking abt like ergo proxy or smth and it just sounds like complete nonsense

#i was talling them abt the interactions between raul and daedalus in episode 10 and they were like 😧 #i also bring up evangelion at every chance i get and it’s so embarrassing 😭 #telling not talling*

[dollarstorefern]

i included this scene because it’s an amazing instance of the core idea of the show, words versus actions, “everybody lies” versus “truth begins in lies”, the lines of the theme song itself, “love, love is a verb, love is a doing word”. house repeats the idea that everybody lies and that words are meaningless, because they are to him! what he says isn’t reflective of any truth, only his fears and deflections, whereas his actions are constantly contradicting what he says.

it's insane to really think about the way house believes wilson and cuddy view him, the way he talks about the way THEY talk about him. he says something along the lines of "the house problem", thinking that’s all they view him as. he believes that they believe he's incapable of functioning in a stable and healthy way; house essentially believes that he burdens wilson and cuddy. and how dehumanizing must that be?

i feel like we can tie this back to that one scene in season three, wilson’s "i was afraid your wings would melt" and house’s "god doesn't limp". house's self-perception is so… interesting to me. but that scene right there, that confirms to me that house is wrong! his beliefs are just fears! wilson is comparing house to icarus, which is so humanizing in a way. the fact that, in this instance wilson is implying that house is destined for a fate in which his pride overcomes him, in which house believes he may reach divinity, yet house objects this idea by implying that he himself never believed he could reach this divinity in the first place. he believes that, at the end of the day, he is too impure, too flawed, too broken to be anything amazing, let alone human; oftentimes, house implies that he views himself as subhuman. but there’s more to the comparison than wilson and house’s conflicting views of house himself. if house is icarus, to wilson, then who is daedalus, other than wilson himself? who is the one that watches this fallout, who is the one that helped craft the very thing that caused this death, other than wilson himself?

sure, i believe that we can all agree that cuddy enables house to a certain degree. but she does it without having a dependency on house, unlike wilson. while cuddy can draw the line, she can leave it all behind to do what she believes is best for herself and her family, wilson is stuck where he is. wilson enables house because their relationship is dependent on this back and forth between house and wilson, the idea that they themselves discuss, where wilson feeds upon neediness and house is a beacon of neediness himself.

wilson is the one that is always there for house, he is the one that dealt with house after his leg surgery and his breakup with stacy, he was the one that was there for house before and after mayfield, and house ends up reversing this and being the only one for wilson when he's dying of cancer in the end.

and to bring back the theme song, as i mentioned earlier, "love, love is a verb, love is a doing word" as well as house' s infamous quote, "everybody lies". these two go hand in hand in my opinion. wilson tells house that he's leaving him, leaving the hospital itself, after amber’s death, yet he returns just a few episodes later, being there for house when house’s father dies, even though house wasn’t really there for wilson the way wilson wanted him to be after amber died. house can't tell wilson he loves him when wilson asks house to say it, he blatantly refuses to say it, but he fakes his death to make sure wilson gets to fully live his last five months, a proclamation of love more meaningful and powerful than the words themselves.

people's words are deceiving, and only in their actions may one find wholehearted truth (“truth begins in lies”, a quote heard in the very first episode not long after “everybody lies”). that is what this show is about; that is what house himself represents.

[newtype-difference]

Hey people, so I was trying to find out a way of immersing myself in mecha even more and I settled on the idea of making funny little reviews about the gundam kits I've built on my blog so here it is tee hee

(Very minor spoilers for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury season 1 episode 6 ahead)

I present to you:

Demi Trainer A.K.A baby's first gundam kit

This is what kickstarted my addiction to building these little guys and honestly it was such a blast as my first experience with it! I saw the HG (1/144) model of this mobile suit in a nerd shop I was in that I was told had these kits and I figured it was a good starting point. I liked the idea of the training mech from g-witch acting as training wheels for me building these kits.

Fun Facts About the Demi Trainer

the MSJ-121 Demi Trainer is a mobile suit seen in The Witch From Mercury series, and is primarily used by students in Asticassia as a mobile suit to train with (hence the name Demi Trainer)

The Demi Trainer is just one model in a series of other Demi mobile suits! Other Demi models we see throughout the series are the MSJ-OP122 Demi Garrison (seen early on when Suletta Mercury's Gundam Aerial is being detained after her first duel), the MSJ-R122 Demi Barding, which is a more advanced model of mobile suit, equipped with more armaments, while still maintaining the Demi model philosophy. There's also Chuchu's iconic MSJ-105CC Demi Trainer, which is an older model that has been heavily modified by Chuchu in order to compete with more modern iterations of Demi mobile suits.

Our primary experience with Demi Trainer in the show is when Suletta Mercury is tasked with piloting one as part of her spotting exam, where she has a particularly difficult time passing it. It honestly made me feel really sad when I watched it for the first time :(

The Design of Demi Trainer

I really love how this mobile suit looks! It's a very simple design but I feel it's so effective at conveying it's primary purpose: to be a baseline training model for mobile suits. It's a lightweight mobile suit with minimal modifications done to it so that it can achieve high mobility and it's easy to maintain. It also looks very much like something a company would mass-produce for an institution like Asticassia.

Demi Trainers are used with a standard set of equipment, which includes a simple shield, a beam gun for ranged combat, a saber stick for melee combat, a combat knife, as well as the Daedalus multi-tool, which can be shaped and transformed into a variety of tools. This makes Demi Trainer a very versatile mobile suit, appropriate for use in many different situations. It doesn't seem to come with any sort of flight module, though that makes sense, as I imagine those are quite expensive to include on mobile suits, and this is meant as a simple trainer mech.

Of course, since it's heavily used in Asticassia, Demi Trainer also has an equipable antenna module for use in duels within the academy.

The Demi mobile suits are known for their extensive customisability, and the Demi Trainer is no different! You can even see these aspects within the design of this mobile suit. There are many little slots and places where you can modify Demi Trainer and potentially add modules or armaments, and you can see the extent of this modification in Chuchu's modified Demi Trainer, despite it being an older model. I'd really love to see what kind of modifications other student in the academy would apply to their Demi Trainers!

Building the Kit

My experience with building this gunpla kit was a blast! I was so excited to get started on this, and the kit did not disappoint! It wasn't too complex so that I was overwhelmed, but it also wasn't so simple that I was bored. Hearing all the clicks and feeling the pieces snap together as I built it was extremely satisfying, and I really like how the instruction booklet was structured.

You're not told to put individual parts of the mobile suit together until you've built a number of modules beforehand. For example, the instructions tell you to build the head, body and arms before telling you to put those parts together, and I think that makes the experience more satisfying. The same structure applies for the waist and legs of the kit, and being able to put all of the parts together at the end is such a good feeling! Of course, you can totally ignore the structure of the booklet and put parts together as you build them, which is also fine.

The kit also comes with a variety of stickers, and with the help of hindsight after having built 2 more kits after this one (which I also plan on reviewing), I can confidently say that the stickers for the Demi Trainer are probably the easiest to apply based on my limited experience! You get a small choice of stickers too, mainly a choice of what colour you want the middle torso portion to be. Of course, I picked purple because it's my favourite colour, but other choices also include red, blue, yellow and pink.

At one point while building this kit, I tried to take a part out so I could hear and feel the click of it again as I assembled it, but I accidentally applied too much force into it and the piece snapped, which make me panic but thankfully I had some glue to repair it, which was a huge relief. Not a fault of the kit itself, just my own excitement getting the better of me! Though I will recommend to be careful when assembling these kits if you're not experienced, and be gentle with them.

I was so so happy when the kit was finished and I could play around with it! Building it is half the fun, and the other half is posing it in all sorts of cool ways! You've seen some pictures of that already, but I also have some gifs of the kit spinning on a little turntable saved for the end.

The HG Demi Trainer kit comes with just the shield, saber stick and beam gun that I mentioned previously, which I personally don't mind too much but of course having more options for equipment is always a good thing. Thankfully you can buy an expansion set for Demi Trainer that includes a beam rifle, gatling gun, combat knife, 4-cell hand missile launcher and open hand parts, as well as some smaller extras. I personally don't have this expansion kit but I would love to get it at some point!

Overall, I think this is a fantastic kit to build, particularly if you are new to gunpla and are looking for a place to start. The Witch From Mercury kits are some of the best quality I think I've seen in gunpla (again, from my limited experience) and if you love the series and want to collect gunpla, you can't go wrong with getting this kit. The posable nature and movement of the kit itself is great, which I think is really cool and allows for some creative shots to be made with them!

This is a little series of posts that I hope to continue in the future! If you have any suggestions on things to add or change please let me know! I'm open to constructive criticism :)

ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN by your Good Omens fanart! :3 Will it be available to purchase anywhere? Also wanted to share a fun fact about this concept : in the late 80's there was a TV show called The StoryTeller, with a spin-off about Greek myths. One of the episodes was about Icarus, where Daedalus, implide to have caused his student's fall, was played by Derek Jacobi, who also plays Metatron. It is likely that in season 3 we will see Crowley's "fall" and find out that it was also because of Metatron!

Hi anon!

Thank you so much for such an amazing comment about my Good Omens fan art! I'm very happy you enjoyed it! 💗 I posted a new one yesterday and I'm currently working on another one (I hope you like snakes 🐍)

Will it be available to purchase anywhere?

I'm so sorry, I don't have a shop anymore unfortunately. I used to have a RedBubble but I had to close it because I was flagged every two minutes for copyright infringement. Maybe I should give it a try again ? There are Society6 and InPrnt I could try. I'm a bit afraid of InPrnt, though: apparently, you have to submit your art to the community and they vote to see if you are "good" enough to sell your art there which I'm a bit afraid to do to be honest. 😳

In the late 80's there was a TV show called The StoryTeller...

I remember this show! I had to Google it because it wasn't called the same in France (for the four Frogs in the audience, it was Monstres et Merveilles) but yes, I used to watch it. My main memory of it was the dog, though. 😁

Apparently, what you are talking about it a spin-off called The StoryTeller: Greek Myths, from 1991. I'm going to see if I can find some eps on YouTube.

Otherwise, when it comes to Good Omens, the wait for Season 3 is going to be so long! It's not like Supernatural where you had to wait 3 months for the new season to start. Here, it can take years, maybe ONLY two if we are lucky. 😭 I'm aware that it takes time to write and produce a show like this one but still, I want to see what's next. 😁

Thanks again for your message and have a great day.

AU ask: Atlantis doesn't rise from underwater in The Rising. They're stuck down there, but the shields aren't failing, either.

Things that would absolutely happen:

They'd get the puddlejumpers watertight well before they use them in space

The xenobiologists are thrilled; look at the plantlife down here! The fish! The CSO is not thrilled. Nor, for that matter, is Flyboy Sheppard. There is a whole episode on figuring out how to get into the ocean without flooding the damn city.

They don't go sniffing around as early, so they find the Athosians later--and Colonel Sumner isn't with them, because he has a base to run and Doctor Weir to flirt with

They wake the wraith later but it's still John's fault

The Daedalus never finds them, because they are under water; but the wraith can't bombard them either, so they don't necessarily need that ZPM.

[sapphicthunderhead]

I’m fascinated by the characterization, intricate connections to the overarching narrative, and the sci-fi elements in each of these episodes. But definitely I have a favorite among them, as a matter of personal preference. I’m curious to see which of the three you guys enjoyed most (or were most frightened by). Feel free to reblog or reply with the reason behind your decision.
