It's my headcanon that there's not a galactic-wide holonet. That infrastructure just isn't there. Individual planets like coruscant probably have a holonet, sure, and some core worlds are connected to each other, but for a lot of the galaxy, most of the galaxy even, the average person just doesn't have access to a galactic equivalent of Earth's internet.

#The main reason they don't is just because the og SW was written before we had internet #and the worldbuilding grew from that point #but also we get our internet from a boatload of infrastructure #miles of cable #servers #satellites #and so on #so basically tattooine? not really on the web

TLSP Lowland 2016 really was a fever dream

We had the Kane train situation with Alex’s knowing smirk and his little conductor voice like a happy little boy (21:56) (and afterwards Alex looks like he wants to say even more before thinking better of it) Jesus Alex we can’t you got all the ticket stubs for first class;

And Alex getting ‘stuck’ on the box/amp and needing Miles to help him down (56:54) (even though just a minute prior Alex got down from an identical one on his own🤣)

And then Miles just casually showing off his god skills and just playing one handed while holding his drink in the other hand (57:45)

And at 53:37 Miles’ little “Alex” 🫠🥹 and the way Alex immediately looked up at him

And 54:07 is it just me or do I hear a soft“oh fuck off”

ok weeb moment ig but you all know how much I enjoy g.host in the shell and how much I love B.atou. tbh even my dad is like yeah. it's a type for you.

I'm watching G/host in the Shell SAC_2045 right now. The animation really gets an upgrade in s2 even though I would overall have preferred it not to be this cg kinda animation :/ I will take what I can get though but it would be so much better to look at and feel more like a continuation of the original SAC if it was 2D!! I watch this in english dub cause the voices are so familiar and comforting to me hahaha

I miss B.atou's ponytail though </3. I heard from other reviews that Purin was gonna be annoying but tbh I relate so much to her crush on B.atou it just felt like targeted light hearted ribbing LOL like same? honestly getting me/C.able vibes from their interactions HAHAHA :')

EDIT ok so I saved this to drafts and then kept watching and we do see B.atou with ponytail in a flashback but it's major spoilery stuff :') Everytime I'm watching gits media I'm always falling in love with his old ass!

#it's soooo a type that I have I'm not even embarrassed about it. can we get another Cable but in a different font please #but I especially love B.atou in his own right the whole time I'm watching I'm like this is a perfect man I need him so baddd.... #hottest anime man ever by a mile away. to me. in my dreams I fantasise about a world where josh brolin is b.atou LMAOOO #f/o:batou

In the Jurassic au Pearl was created in the lab and has superhuman strength and endurance. She’s also never been outside. She asks Miles (who has unrestricted access but no desire to go out and get mobbed again) to take her and he can’t say no.

They both wander around the park using Von Karma’s wallet without shame or awareness. They get the fast pass and go on all the rides Pearl is tall enough for. Miles takes a sharpie to all the signs that have ‘errors’ in them. (Miles those are not errors they’re just simplified and THAT is proprietary knowledge oh my god) He almost gets in a fight with a tour guide.

They stop in a gift shop cause Miles needs a hat and sunscreen. Pearl grabs a triceratops stuffed animal almost as big as she is and asks for it. Miles says yes without hessitation and carries it (as well as the t-rex stuffie and pterodactyl backpack) for her all day. He snuggles into it and holds it to his chest and all is right in the world for a few moments.

#miles edgeworth #pearl fey #jurassic park au #Miles needs a stuffed animal #he hasn't gotten to be a child since his father died and he needs the comfort of it #to help him cope with a world he is Not at all set up to survive in #because vk Specifically wants him to live in the lab and work and do nothing else ever #Miles and Pearl are both as trapped as the dinosaurs #pearl is just the t-rex breaking free from the snapped cables

hello!!!!! how would the monster group handle a mountain lion hybrid, like, they’re notoriously difficult to handle and are known to lash out, so they were just kinda thrown to Price to handle

Lesson Cw: hybrid, fighting, scruffing, tell me if I missed any.

They were at an impasse, unable to find you when you didn’t want to be found, stalking the halls in complete silence and scaring people and hissing at people who got to close to you —even them at some point. You were a brat, a proper brat that eventually got to Price as you did with the others. He approached Alejandro and Horangi about your standoffish behaviour: protective, self-isolating and aggressive, but he was assured that it was normal, yours were only worsened by monster and hybrid treatments, the horrible and ignorant ways they treated you that made your instincts lash out.

Fortunately, Price learned that you could be taught to accept them, to be indoctrinated into their pack without rejecting your instincts. He had both felines drag you to the sparring ring after everyone left, hearing you hiss and lash out in pure anxiety and stress until they wrangled you into the ring and surrounded you, walking around you like two cats ready to pounce on their prey. Price had spoken to them to know if this kind of harsh lesson would work, it did on Horangi, made him open up after a rough fight and loosen up after a while. That was all he needed to hear to hold a session with you (he spoke to the others before, wanting to hear their opinions before he moved on with the plan).

”Don’t hold back,” Alejandro smiled, spotted fur growing on his forearms and tail swaying behind him.

“Or what?” You hissed, glaring at the men moving around your prone figure and fists clenched to your side.

“Or I eat you, kitty,” Horangi grinned, a goading gleam in his bright, amber eyes, his scars stretching to widen his smirk and teeth growing to seem more menacing.

Price watched you wait it out, letting your instincts drive you forward when Horangi lashed out first, jumping at you while Alejandro circled both of you, quietly huffing and rumbling when you pushed Horangi back. You fought with vigour and anger, snapping your teeth at the Haetae’s nose and claw swiping at him when you manage to struggle out of his tackle. Horangi and Alejandro switched places on occasion, to keep you from getting used to one person and to tire you out, to wear down your pent up anger and anxiety. 

It went on for almost an hour until Horangi had you pinned to the ground, straddling your hips with his thick thighs and gripping your nape, scruffing you into submission and calmness. You were all panting, breathing loudly and shoulders heaving, foreheads dripping sweat and hearts throbbing in your ears, a loud pulse beating a mile per second. You hissed and cussed, always the fiery spirit you were with them without holding back, gentle and caring when healing, but dangerous and bloodthirsty when cornered. When Alejandro nodded at Price, letting him know that it was safe for him to move in, he strode across the room, swinging his legs over the cables and kneeling beside you three.

“Are you ready to listen, Hunter?” He growled, tone low and deep with power, smoke curling on the corners of his lips like a burning fire, the warm, kindling flames of a cigar that smelled earthy and strong. It stung your nose as it did the others, but in the gentlest way possible. 

“Yes, sir,” you grumbled, blinking tiredly at him, shoulders slumped downward, head lowered and eyes cast down, “ ‘m tired.”

“Good, let’s get you cleaned and rested, yeah? We’ll continue this tomorrow.”

Ok so for those who didn't see the news, recently 5 rich people went “””missing””” (they're totally fucking dead) in a “Titanic tourist submarine”, basically made as a way rich people can tour (what's left of) the Titanic's wreckage for a small fee of $250,000 per person.

Anyways, setting aside the horrific implications of dying in a submarine at  13,000 feet (~4km) below sea level, the more I learn about this entire situation the more I become morbidly...amused??

so for starters, the submarine was literally the submarine from Iron Lung. its a metal cylinder with one singular porthole at the front of the vessel that is bolted shut from the outside, and has no seats, its literally just a cylinder

the second thing you need to know is that this thing was wireless, as in it was being controlled from the surface and the people inside had no control, which is concerning in multiple ways because a ship this scuffed should have a safety cable leading to the “mothership” (basically if you've ever watched ocean documentaries and they always have that long cable attached to the sub, that's for in case the wireless control fucks up and they need it to be wired)

what makes this little fact so much more morbidly funny is that this thing was controlled using the remains of a Logitech Gamepad controller from ~2004/2005, a controller notorious for being one of the most clunky pieces of gaming equipment ever designed. so clunky in fact that few people even recognized it, originally mistaking it to be a combination of an Xbox 360 and a PS1 controller. estimated price of $30.

“but Fortune” I hear a very few of you asking, “it shouldn't matter what its controlled with, as long as the connection is good”

and to that my dear reader you would be correct! there are indeed submarines out there controlled with even simple joysticks, and using game controllers to control stuff like this isn't new (why do you think army recruiters prey on low GPA high school gamers to fly drones)

no you see the issue comes when you realize that what this sub was using to transmit controls. was fucking. STARLINK.

Yes, that's correct, Starlink, the service that can barely do its job on land was being used to transmit data through 2.5 miles (4km) of water, at a depth where anything that isn't highly pressurized is crushed instantly 

-----

And at the end of this, if some of you still feel bad for the rich people who spent a quarter of a million dollars to get bolted into a metal cylinder with no seats and a singular porthole that was being controlled by Elon Musk's barely functioning wireless service and one of the most notoriously clunky gaming controllers of all time that was probably bought from a thrift store, just know that it was most likely over quick. 

The likely thing that ended up happening was cabin depressurization, and at such a depth this means they were knocked unconscious by the rapid loss of pressure in the vessel almost instantly, and then shortly thereafter crushed by the weight of the ocean around them. 

Scientifically speaking, they were likely dead so fast that the brain likely couldn't even comprehend what was happening, the most they would've felt is a little pop in their ears for a fraction of a second.
