I made another concept in the span of 5 minutes while on the bus.
Anyways Oracle AU Submas (Oraclemas?).
Ingo and Emmet have the ability to divine the future, with one issue. Ingo can see the timeline of fate, Emmet can see the events to unfold, and neither can see what the other does. Ingo doesn't know whether what is to come is good or bad, and Emmet can only see events out of order.
They are able to bypass this by holding hands and using full concentration (aka co-divination) to see the full future, however they usually just use their individual visions and piece them together. Co-divination is reserved for either actual fortune-telling services or to investigate a vision either one feels may be concerning.
anyways other fun notes:
Ingo's ability to know when things happen but not what they are make him patient and paranoid. There have been instances where he predicts an event and prepares for danger, then when it actually arrives it turns out to be something perfectly fine (eg. a surprise birthday party)
Emmet's knowledge of future events stresses him out, he gets wrinkles and creases much faster than Ingo, and essentially ages earlier
The twins often used these abilities to aid them in battle growing up, which later led to them pursuing the skill further until they developed their own sense for battle
Besides working as Subway Bosses, they sometimes operate as fortune tellers for those who request their help
They have seen a whole scope of different events, good and bad, and are generally used to talking about any kind of scenario. Some people interpret their lack of reactions to mean that they don't care about the future, but that is not the case
There are anomalies in their visions, certain periods or events don't make any sense to them and they can't make them out clearly
Anyways this is just a little shitpost concept but I mean hey you guys can let me know what you think. Hope you guys enjoy the art and see you later.
also bonus doodle (this is not how it happens but still):

These are my 9 favorite movies I watched in 2023.
The criteria is just that I must have seen the movie in 2023. It doesn’t matter when the movie came out as long as I personally watched it last year.
These aren’t necessarily the best movies I saw, just the ones I enjoyed the most or the ones that left the strongest impression on me. If a movie is very flawed but I keep thinking about it after seeing it, I consider that a “better” movie than one I maybe really enjoyed at the time but mostly forgot about afterwards.
These aren’t in any particular order, I just arranged the posters how I thought they looked best. The movies are:
Ultrasound
Tower
The Passenger
Monstrous (2022)
Saw X
No One Will Save You
Birth/Rebirth
Barbie
Hellraiser (2022)
I'm a big movie watcher and keep track of the movies I watch via Letterboxd. If you’re curious what else I watched in 2023 other than these 9, you can check out my movie log here.

big crack on the plastic of my car radio screen appeared outta no where between yesterday and this morning and i genuinely have no idea what it could be from
it looks like it was smashed but idk with what bc the only thing that touches that spot is MAYBE a very light keychain hanging from my rearview (though it rarely swings that high) and,, me when im changing songs
i feel like maybe its had too many temperature changes in recent weeks but that feels like a long shot bc plastic usually doesnt crack from extreme weather change thats all glass lol (as far as i know of idk)

I love people acting like world cruises are entirely new for this year and are doomed to end in disaster… they’re mostly taken by old people who’ve retired and most of those people don’t go the full 9 months because they also sell these cruises in sections so you could go 3 weeks of a world cruise if you want

few days too late for this to be relevant, but just so everyone knows, the only piece of 9/11-related media worth engaging with is and always will be the broadway musical come from away

Loading mail at St. Louis Inside the trainshed at St. Louis Union Station, postal workers load mail into Railway Post Office cars on Missouri Pacific train 9 in April 1958. This train made an overnight run to Kansas City and handled a lot of mail and express business. A tunnel connected the Post Office and the station, and pneumatic hoists were used as elevators between the tunnel and the platforms.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 108 (Feb. 22, 1993) - “The Passenger”
The Breakdown
Bashir and Kira are heading back to DS9 after a medical away-mission, when they pick up a distress signal from a transport vessel that’s lost control of an onboard fire.  Of the three passengers, one is dead, the second (a kobliad woman, named Ty Kajada) is injured, and a third (Kajada’s prisoner, Rao Vantika) who is injured and quickly dying.  Despite Bashir’s efforts, Vantika does indeed perish, but not before grabbing Bashir by the throat and uttering the words “Make me live” (kinky).   I wonder what that was about?  It’s probably nothing. MOVING ON!
Back at the station Kajada informs the primary ops crew (aka the main characters) that Vantika was a mass murderer/brilliant evil-scientist who was OB-SESSED with prolonging his life using every trick-in-the-sci-fi-book.  In fact, he was so effective in pursuing his goals that Kajada is having a hard time believing her foe-of-twenty-years hasn’t found a way to cheat death yet again. Her fears are only further heightened by the fact that (prior to his arrest) Vantika was on his way to Deep Space Nine, intent on stealing a shipment of dangerous MacGuffins (in this case, a hazardous material called deuridium). Despite her fears Bashir is positive that Vantika is so very dead, on account of how dead his dead body is.
Unfortunately, the station gets its active memory hard drive wiped, and all fingers point to Vantika’s heist being enacted by someone.  Sisko and Odo believe it to be an accomplice, but enough mysterious shit keeps happening to fuel Kajada’s belief that Vantika himself is responsible, and at large.  So what’s going on exactly?  Enter Jadzia Dax, who discovers that Vantika was working on a map of “The Humanoid Brain”, and with it a means to transfer his consciousness into another body, by way of some sneaky nano-tech embedded in his fingernails (of all places).  Dax guesses (with remarkable accuracy) that Vantika’s consciousness is laying dormant in someone else’s mind, unbeknownst to the whomever the victim-host may be; although she’s guessing that it’s probably Kajada (since both individuals are Kobliad).  As far as wild leaps of logic go, it’s a pretty good guess, and so the entire security team are put on guard to anticipate the deuridium heist being carried out by a Vantika-possessed Kajada (gesundheit).
In a twist that may utterly shock you, the REAL Vantika host turns out to be Julian Bashir *gasp*, who took on the rogue consciousness after Vantika choked him at the beginning of the episode! *double gasp* Since no one predicted an Evil-Julian (unless being insufferable counts), he almost manages to heist the shit out of that deuridium, but finds himself in a stalemate when his ship is caught in a tractor beam (courtesy of Sisko back on DS9).  Vantika counters by revving up the engines to stop him from being dragged back, but he also can’t break free.  Since a dueridium explosion would be devastating for the population of any planets in the sector, Vantika wages a bet that Sisko won’t risk letting the ship self destruct, and threatens to do exactly that if he isn’t released.  Thankfully Dax is quick on her feet, and creates a deus ex techno-babble-solution that interrupts Vantika’s hold on Bashir, giving the doctor just enough time to lower the ship’s shields, and be rescued.  
Epilogue: With Bashir safely restrained in sickbay, Dax is able to beam Vantika’s consciousness out of the doctor and into a small consciousness-carrying device that looks like a techno hockey puck. Sisko offers the puck to Kajada, who doesn’t hesitate to vaporise it in front of everyone, which I honestly think is more than fair.
Oh, there’s also a whole subplot about Odo butting heads with Starfleet security but I’ll circle back to that in a second.
The Verdict
‘The Passenger’ doesn’t do much for me, but I also can’t say I overtly hated it either, resulting in an episode that falls somewhere in the realm of acceptably mediocre.  Bashir’s possessed-by-a-bad-guy plot is equal parts predictable and forgettable, although my biggest criticism lies with Alexander Siddig, who’s performance as Vantika somehow achieves being both over-the-top and robotic all at once.  I always try to give actors the benefit of the doubt, and I’m willing consider that he was directed into this performance, but I suspect that this was more-than-likely a misstep on his part that the director simply failed to call out (which happens all the time in TV shows, with their tight production schedules).  As a relatively new performer to the medium, I appreciate that he was likely trying to create a performance that would be easily distinguishable from Bashir, but it comes off as so unnatural that it completely pulled me out of the story.  It doesn’t help that Bashir also innately hard to like in the early seasons; a part of that was (by all accounts) an intentional writing choice, but I’ve always suspected that Siddig’s professional growth as an actor played a significant role in my eventual appreciation of the character.  Whatever the reason, this early stab at a Bashir-centric episode falls flat.
The one thing that salvages the episode for me somewhat is in the Odo subplot.  Here we are introduced to Lieutenant Primmin, who is the new head representative of Starfleet security, which inevitably leads to a conflict between him and Odo over who has final authority as the station’s overall department head.  Primmin is inherently less interesting to me a character, but it does lead us to some engaging exchanges between Sisko and Odo.  This is yet another early glimpse into Sisko’s willingness to play outside the conventional Starfleet playbook. The way his character manages Primmin, while having Odo’s back, is another preliminary example of the unique challenges and relationships that would ultimately set this show apart from the other Star Trek shows.
2 stars (out of 5)

Additional Observations
Arrogant Doctor:  At the beginning of the episode Kira admits that Bashir’s work on the away mission was impressive, and he’s basically like “Yes, you are right.  I am amazing, and let me tell you more about why that is SO true.”  Kira is moments away from tearing him a new asshole when he’s spared by the distress signal.  What I wouldn’t give for this entire episode to be replaced by 45 minutes of Kira just ruthlessly berating Bashir.  What a little shit head.
I had forgotten about the Primmin character.  The amount of screentime he gets here suggests we’ll be seeing more of him, but a cursory look at IMDb shows that the very next episode will be his last appearance.  It’ll be interesting to see if there’s be an explanation for his departure, but I’m not holding my breath.
Dax GOAT: O’brien usually gets the goat-award on this show, but Dax REALLY came through here. She was so useful that one might even say it was a tad unbelievable.  All kidding aside, I love Dax (and not just because she’s played Terry Farrell), and I could just as easily lob this this complaint towards half of O'Brien's achievements if I wanted to be a dick about it. That said, this was one such occasion where the techno babble is a little more than I could overlook.  I’m happy to forgive sci-fi ‘fantasy technology’ as long as the rules of said-magical technology has been well established within the narrative, but this is not one of those times. Overall I just felt that Dax’s “scientific” solutions felt as conveniently spontaneous as they were contrived.

Os 10 Melhores filmes sobre exploração espacial
Tumblr media
O ano era 1969. Quando a humanidade acompanhou o pouso da missão tripulada da Apollo 11 na Lua. Ela levava os astronautas americanos Neil Armstrong e Buzz Aldrin, que foram os primeiros a pisar no astro, além de Michael Collins, que ficou em órbita enquanto os outros dois exploravam a superfície lunar.
Dado ao seu sucesso e por ter sido transmitida pela televisão para milhões de pessoas, foi capaz de inspirar gerações a olharem mais para o espaço e dizer que tudo é possível fazer se assim desejamos.
E para comemorar esse marco histórico da tecnologia, preparamos uma lista com os 10 melhores filmes sobre exploração espacial. Confira!
10 -   O Primeiro Homem
youtube
O principal foco desse filme é falar um pouco sobre a vida do astronauta norte-americano Neil Armstrong antes dele ser conhecido internacionalmente como o primeiro homem a pisar na lua. E o que ele precisou fazer para alcançar esse marco histórico.
9 - Gagarin. Pervyy v kosmose
youtube
Esse filme narra a história do cosmonauta soviético Gagarin quando decolou rumo ao espaço em um foguete Vostok e como ele foi capaz de ser a primeira pessoa a ir para o espaço assim como Neil Armstrong ele também foi crucial para o desenrola da Corrida Espacial. 
8 - Apollo 13: Do Desastre ao Triunfo
Tumblr media
A história se passa quando a NASA envia à Lua um novo grupo de astronautas na missão Apollo 13. Porém, um trágico acidente acontece o que acaba colocando em risco a vida dos três astronautas a bordo.
7 - Órbita 9
Tumblr media
Esse filme aborda a história de Helena uma mulher de 20 e poucos anos que viveu praticamente toda a sua vida em uma estação espacial tendo como única companhia um computador de bordo chamado Rebecca, que proporciona tudo o que ela precisa para continuar vivendo. Porém no decorrer da trama ela percebe que a realidade de sua vida não é como ela pensa.
6 - Gravidade
Tumblr media
Esse filme retrata um experiente astronauta Matt Kowalski, ao lado da brilhante engenheira Dr. Ryan Stone, que durante uma caminhada espacial de rotina ocorre um desastre que os deixa completamente à deriva no espaço, sem a menor chance de serem resgatados. 
5 - Passageiros
youtube
Não se deixe enganar pelo o que muitos bilionários dizem por ai: viajar ao espaço não é uma tarefa tão simples assim e principal quando falamos em viagens interplanetárias. Embora a fantasia exalte a imaginação das pessoas que isso é possível em questão de segundos podemos ver que na realidade é completamente diferente.
E é a partir dessa premissa que o filme Passageiros explora uma ideia bastante curiosa: quando uma espaçonave, chamada Starship Avalon, em sua viagem de 120 anos para um planeta colônia distante apresenta um mau funcionamento em uma de suas câmaras de sono. O que acaba resultando, em uma cápsula de hibernação se abrir prematuramente antes de alcançar o seu destino final.
4 - Missão a Marte
Tumblr media
Esse filme apresenta um grupo de astronautas sob o comando de Luke Graham que viajam para Marte em busca de estudar o solo maciano para uma futura colonização humana quando derrepente são surpreendidos por um misterioso vórtice que mata todos os astronautas presentes com exceção de Luke. Depois que o vórtice diminui, a formação é revelada como parte de uma grande Face em Marte.
3 - Perdido em Marte
youtube
Durante uma missão tripulada ao planeta vermelho, um astronauta chamado Mark Watney acaba sendo dado como morto em razão de uma forte tempestade que ocorre em solo marciano. Dado as condições meterológicas do planeta sem perspectivas de que ainda estive-se vivo, Mark é abandonado por seus colegas de tripulação. Conforme a história avança ele se encontrarar em um dilema entre a vida e a morte.
2 -  Alien – O Oitavo Passageiro
Tumblr media
No espaço profundo, a tripulação de uma espaçonave comercial é despertada no meio de seu sono criogênico a caminho de casa quando recebe um misterioso pedido de socorro numa lua distante. A tripulação se vê na obrigação de investigar, logo após um pouso forçado, três membros da tripulação deixam a espaçonave para explorar a área. E nesta ocasião em que caminham se surpreendem ao a vistarem uma colmeia de alguma criatura desconhecida, e finalmente o computador da nave decifra a mensagem afirmando que não se tratava de um pedido de socorro e sim um aviso.
1 - Interestelar
youtube
A história se passa em um futuro distante no qual a Terra, se encontra à beira de uma extinção iminente quando um brilhante físico da NASA, elabora um plano para salvar toda humanidade transportando a população mundial para um novo lar através de um recém descoberto buraco de minhoca. Entretanto para testar a viabilidade desse plano ele terá que enviar uma equipe de pesquisadores através do buraco de minhoca para que possam encontrar um novo lar para a humanidade.
