Our late summer bedroom tour + our new Ikea pax closet addition

Our late summer bedroom tour + our new Ikea pax closet addition

Hello August! Well friends, we are close to the end of summer.. We went to LA last week with my siblings and their families. Between us 4 families, there was a total 21 of us, which made everything crazier. And that’s without 1 of the nephews who couldn’t make it, and my dad and step mom who had to at the last minute cancel. Going out to eat or even just shopping was a whole event. It was too…

6/?? The road to hell

(Previous) | (Index) | (Next)

⛬

We return to the movie equivalent of an incompletely-assembled Ikea PAX / BERGSBO wardrobe surrounded by chips of particle board and eight thousand extra screws, Prometheus.

If that analogy made sense to anybody, congratulations! You too are succumbing to The Madness.

Content warnings for terrible archaeology, terrible chemistry, and blunt force trauma to the audience with a piece of exposition.

Increasingly extensive alt-text ramblings include the logistics of securing items in moving craft, linguistics, atmospheric science, colorblind-friendly diagram design, swearing about orology, and cursing the crew for their fictional crimes against archaeology.

Many on Tumblr are familiar with Chekhov’s Gun, a piece of writing advice that calls for economy of storytelling: if you mention a loaded gun in your story, it should go off at some point. Sergius Shchukin phrased it this way: “Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first act that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third act it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." 

So Prometheus takes the rifle down off the wall and smashes you over the head with it, just to make sure you saw it.

CH: “Wow, nice place.”

D: “It's actually a separate module with its own self-contained life support. Air, food. Anything Miss Vickers would need to survive a hostile environment.”

CH: “Okay, so she lives on a lifeboat.”

MV: “Yes. I do. I like to minimize risk.”

Gee. I wonder if Vickers’ lifeboat living quarters will become relevant later.

Then, Chekhov’s rifle hits us with its next flurry of blows.

“Charlie, look. It's a Pauling Med-Pod. They only made a dozen of these.”

Gee. I wonder if the Pauling Med-Pod–-yes of course it’s going to be relevant later

You want a movie where a literal Chekhov’s gun gets fired off, along with Chekov’s crossword puzzle, Chekov’s ketchup packet, Chekhov’s swan, and Chekhov’s farmer’s mum, Chekhov’s everything all weaving back together again in a beautiful symphony of hilarious violence? Watch Hot Fuzz! Do it! Just watch Hot Fuzz! Not Prometheus!

I have said it before and I say it now, this movie is TERRIBLE at providing the audience with plot-relevant information. It hits you like head trauma. It bellows at you like Hans Zimmer has his entire orchestra hiding behind your chair, ready to let loose with an Inception Noise.

Vickers is here to make David mix drinks and to be a Corpo Ice Queen who demands that the team not make any direct contact with any alien life they find while they’re here. She doesn’t think they will, though. She thinks Weyland was delusional. But she’s the one in charge of the company money, so she’s the boss here.

Which begs the question of why she’s here at all, rather than back on Earth. This is actually a plot point, but because it’s not explicitly called out like the LIFEBOAT with the PAULING MED-POD, and everyone else has acted like loons anyway, it does not stand out. It just seems like another dollop of irrational behavior in the unpalatable stew of these characters.

However, Vicker’s demand that no direct contact be made? Very sensible! In fact, this was the point in the movie where I distinctly remember thinking in the theater “wait, they don’t have a first contact protocol already?” 

Like, Vickers doesn’t think that anything’s going to happen, but there’s enough of a chance that she’s giving orders not to engage. The sum total of their formal first contact attempt was yeeting a cultural message packet at the planet while in-transit to see if they got any response. The only one who appears to have been preparing was David–he basically spent the last two years learning comparative linguistics, with the aim of acting as a translator, should they get that far. That’s a sound choice, though its actual implementation is going to leave me incensed later.

But that still doesn’t answer the question of what they’re planning to do. Weyland certainly believed that they were going to meet aliens here. He’s arrogant enough to have demanded this whole project happen, and he didn’t have anything to say about what should be said if they made contact without him? 

This is, possibly, a plot point. But everything else that happens around this in the next five minutes is pure, howling madness.

Because they’re immediately descending into the atmosphere of this alien world.

This is too fast. In Alien, they landed on-planet to check out a possible distress signal, and it was a goddamn pain in their collective ass that they were only doing out of legal responsibility. In Aliens, they were a bunch of hopped-up marines ready to go shoot bugs. 

These are, again, scientists. The team leads are archaeologists! Aerial archaeology is a thriving field today that’s only going to get more useful as technology improves! There is no sense that they’ve done any scans, they don’t even know what the atmosphere is made out of, something we, right now, can already determine about exoplanets. Really! We can! 

We are explicitly told, in fact, that all this is happening within the same day as everyone waking up. The events of this movie appear to happen over two days, maybe three at the max.

And now, Spider yells at cloud. Or rather, the atmosphere.

The movie claims that if you spend two minutes on the surface without an oxygen supply, you’re dead. Why? Atmospheric CO₂ is over 3%.

Now, 3% CO₂ is not a fun time, and you will definitely experience weird physical and cognitive effects. But if you hang out in 3-5% CO₂, you’re going to be pretty okay for anywhere from four hours to over a month. 

What I've heard consistently is speculation that the movie meant carbon monoxide levels at 3%, which, yeah, that'll kill ya. In fact 2-3 breaths of 1.28% CO makes people pass out and die within under three minutes. 0.01% CO is enough to result in headaches and memory problems, as one redditor demonstrated to the internet back in 2015. 

But no. For whatever reason, the movie script says “CO₂”. Consistently.

And now, we get to the bit that had me screeching under my breath in the theater. Most people who saw Prometheus lost their sympathy for the human characters about 5-20 minutes after this point. I was ahead of the curve. I hated these characters before it was cool. Because they see a structure. They see what looks like roads.

Holloway, who I remind you all, claims to be an archaeologist, demands they set the ship down on one of those roads.

Let me tell you all a story. A few years before this movie first blighted me, I signed up for an archaeological field course. The university offering it didn’t have a dig permit lined up for the year I went, but their campus was in an area that had seen continuous human habitation for at least 15,000 years. They scouted out a bit of lawn, we cut the turf, and started digging. 

A week or two into the dig, we realized that the top layers were probably modern infill, dirt that had been trucked in from somewhere and completely jumbled. We started hacking away at it with mattocks to get down to the actual archaeology, which was delayed by a day or two when I struck 1940s asphalt. 

Like, literally struck it with my mattock. It felt like biting down on aluminum foil, but spread out over my hands to my shoulders. The professors rented a small mechanical digger to tear up the old car park, and also some of the plywood on the sides of our trench by accident. I have never seen a bunch of professors so gleeful about being turned loose on heavy machinery.

But finally, we got to what we were there for. A bunch of 13th century houses, and a Roman road.

I remember we made sure there was photo documentation that captured every fucking pebble on the medieval surface of that road, before we dug in. We were encouraged to sketch it, too. We took precise GPS coordinates of where the edge of the road started. We sifted through the road surface as we dug it up, finding dozens of tiny artifacts, because centuries of people had tossed little bits of trash onto the road, lost things out of their pockets and pouches, all the random little events that might happen on a stretch of road two minute’s walk from the parish church. 

I remember one student found the metal tag off of a horse’s bridle, that would’ve been used to identify it with its owner’s mark. Another found an 800 year old silver coin, tarnished on one side and perfectly, shiningly pristine on the other. It was beautiful.

And over and over, we were told: “A road is a find.” A road itself is history. A road is a place shaped by human hands, where humans have lived their lives. We can learn a lot from roads.

And that was what I was whispering at the screen in the theater, increasingly incensed. “A road is a find. A road is a find. A road is a find!!”

I was ready to reach through the screen and strangle that motherfucker Holloway from this moment on. The movie had lost me fully. Not because of this moment in isolation–if the rest of it had been consistently competent, I would have sighed and done my best to hold onto suspension of disbelief. But the drip feed of problem after problem had taken me from open and interested in the movie to actively spiteful in about 30 minutes or less.

So, fine. The movie seemed determined to make me watch a bunch of unprepared morons stumble to their deaths. Usually, this sort of movie doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t find much use for the kind of movie where you’re supposed to feel antipathy toward the main cast, as a free pass to watch them suffer. It’s why I still haven’t seen Alien Covenant. But I had been unexpectedly ambushed by just such a movie, and I was rooting for whatever horrors awaited them.

So @reversetimelord asked to see pics of Organization Mouseteen so here it goes:

Original trio: Riku (gray, up front), Sora (golden, over Riku), Kairi (sandwiched, white and brown)

Not a mouse but this one ONE FLOOR out of four connected floors of their enclosure, which was a modified Ikea Pax

Closeup of Riku because he was super pretty and we wanted to breed him so bad but alas, he was too gay for this world.

A pregnant Xemnas looking for food

Xehanort (not the Xehanort mouse Luxu cuddled with)

One of the many group pics (fun fact mice cuddle together to sleep)

Blaine liked being a hair accessory sometimes

While Olette liked sleeves

Isa (one of the best behaved mice we had, also the one who picked up the slack for Xemnas after Xemnas gave birth)

Another group pic which my husband got by scrambling a lot of food in the same area

And we hit the 10 images limit which I guess means I am gonna continue tomorrow when perhaps my hand joints will have stopped screaming at me for typing on the phone ✌️

For Matt and Jane’s eventual IKEA CHALLENGE, they will be assembling the most difficult piece of furniture in Ikea existence:

The Pax Wardrobe.

A wardrobe that an ACTUAL STUDY found to be the most stressful Ikea furniture you can build.

A wardrobe so notorious that Foggy knows three people who divorced over it.

Yet the Penguins hear this and decide, challenge fucking accepted because if Jane is going to do a Normal Person Thing she missed out on, then BY GOD SHE’S GOING IN ALL THE WAY and because Matt’s life is not complete if he’s not making things WAY too hard for himself also he’s a cocky little shit how hard could it be.

Very hard, as it turns out. WILL THEY SUCCEED? WHO KNOWS.

#the red thread #the wardrobe comes with 150 pieces #it is massive and heavy and apparently it had a stress rate of 100 #FUCKING 100 #this'll be hilariosu

day 22 of @almost-a-class-act's War Is Helloween prompts!

SAS: Rogue Heroes - Johnny Cooper/Reg Seekings

Someone has to say the dreaded horror movie words: "Let's split up."

"Let's split up," Johnny had said. "It will be quicker." 

Reg cursed under his breath as he bulldozered his way through the first floor of their local IKEA with his cart. Johnny had written him a list, but he kept losing his way, so he was constantly backtracking and going in circles trying to find the items he was looking for. 

Why they had to do this on a Saturday, Reg had no idea. The place was packed, and at least four people didn't know how close they had come to ending up with their lifeless bodies hidden inside a PAX wardrobe. He just wanted to finish this so he could meet up with Johnny at the restaurant on the second floor and eat his way through a big plate of Swedish meatballs. It was the only reason he had agreed to this trip.

When he had finally found the candle department–Johnny had been very clear about which tea lights to get–he blew out a relieved breath. It was the final item on his now very crumpled list. He could almost smell the meatballs.

He should have known it wasn't going to be that easy.

As he was kneeling on the floor, leaning on one hand and reaching for the final tea lights at the back of the display rack with the other, an old lady ran her cart right across his fingers. Reg swore loudly and glared at her, but she didn't even seem to notice and walked right on, chatting with her daughter. 

Reg was thinking up creative ways to beat someone to death with a rustic block candle as he hurled the packs of tea lights into his cart and furiously stomped his way to the elevators, fingers smarting.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Johnny was already there waiting, looking alarmingly chipper for someone who had just been through IKEA on a Saturday.

Reg parked his cart in the designated spot and marched over to him.

"Oh dear," Johnny said, noticing the scowl on Reg's face and trying not to appear too amused at his partner's familiar grumpy expression. He kissed his temple and put an arm around his shoulders. "What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Reg huffed, leaning into Johnny's comforting presence.

Johnny rubbed his arm and led him towards the entrance to the restaurant.

"Come on," he cooed. "Let's get you some meatballs."
