when everything everywhere all at once said of all the places i could be, i just want to be here with you

and when 12 monkeys (tv show) said death can be undone, love cannot

and when russian doll said "you promise if i don't jump i'll be happy?" "i can't but i promise you won't be alone"

and when palm springs said the pain matters, what we do to other people matters

and when arrival said despite knowing the journey and where it leads, i embrace it

#it matters you matter #all the love we give and all the joy we find in the little things matters #sci fi is so so good at this #there are more #in the martian when they saved mark watney and interstellar 'you were my ghost' and the old guard and and and #eeaao #eeaao spoilera #12 monkeys #russian doll #palm springs #arrival #mia rambles

Modern au Steve not being into video games is out

Modern au Steve who's so good at first person shooters that he annihilates the party every time is in

#steve harrington #momo.txt #he definitely isnt playing the mega long fantasy sci fi rpgs the party is playing #but he enjoys the sports games like the fifa and nba games #and first person shooters like call of duty is where he really shines #he used to play online with tommy all the time and he got REALLY GOOD #like constant first place good #but he never brags about it #so the party always brush it off #until they play a shooter game together and steve destroys all of them to an embarrassing level

‘born in the wrong generation’ but I mean I’d have been so fucking good at writing edgy, lore breaking doctor who missing adventures books in the 90s

#I have so many ideas that would never be considered now but I fully believe would have been lapped up back in the day #it’s pure ego but man I wish I had time to write them even just for fun #virgin missing adventures #wilderness years #Doctor who #and I don’t mean it would make a good big finish outing or comic or whatever #I mean campy lore breaking edgelord sci fi goodness #like they’re so self indulgent but that only makes me think they’d fit in even better

Pitching Red Dwarf to people as "it's like if Doctor Who was exclusively about roughly the same four people all of whom fucking suck. It is one of the best sci-fi shows in existence. So much of it is so so bad."

#red dwarf! for people who wish doctor who had more cursing!#red dwarf! for people who think entire seasons should be bottle episodes!#red dwarf! for fans of sci fi bullshit where they get NARSTY with it!#red dwarf #i unironically love red dwarf so much.#it is sometimes a good show. often not. its so near and dear to my heart

im rewatching starstruck odyssey and this narration really stuck out to me…… big comedy season but the themes of isolation vs. connection are sooooo special and beautiful <3

#i!! love!!!! dimension 20!!!!!#i love brennans imagery. i love his worldbuilding #i love when he says something funny and the whole table laughs and then he makes the exact same joke to make them laugh again.#it’s so heartwarming ☹️☹️#ttrpgs are literally just stories the players write together. not a profound statement but its so sweet & human when u really think about i #i also love the sci-fi element of stody. everyone watch it neowwww ‼️‼️#starstruck odyssey #dimension 20 #d20 #ok plus the fact that the original comic was made by his mom ☹️☹️☹️.#and the music. sooo fucking good

It's really depressing that the only real Jedi centric and Jedi positive show in existence is written for preschoolers, while many of the more "adult" shows are edgy and about morally ambiguous or straight-up evil characters. As if lessons about being kind and selfless are somehow not important or relevant to adults just as much if not more than they are to children.

It feels like characters who are unambiguously good are seen as only enjoyable by the very young and adult viewers will only actually appreciate characters who are cruel and selfish (and the requisite "tragic backstory" that always goes with it to help excuse their cruel and selfish choices).

It's just really sad and disappointing.

#star wars #listen i love andor #i really do #but i'm seeing a pattern of shows aimed at older audiences always always ALWAYS having moral ambiguity as a central theme #the good ones like andor always keep in mind that these people are doing awful things #they're not necessarily heroes even tho they're on the right side #the bad ones like ahsoka and acolyte find ways to send the message that being selfish is actually the right thing to do sometimes #i'm just so tired of the jedi getting relegated to the side because no one can see nuance in unambiguously good people #like at best they are just not there at all #at worst they are turned into the villains specifically for refusing to stop practicing their culture even in the face of persecution #give me my adult jedi show #GIVE ME THE REVA SPIN-OFF I DESERVE #STOP GIVING ME THIS JEDI CRITICAL BULLSHIT #IT'S ALL HORRIFICALLY BAD #I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOUR CGI IS THE STORY IS NO LONGER STAR WARS IF YOU HATE THE JEDI #GO MAKE YOUR OWN SCI FI IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THE JEDI

"My name is Nyota. I'm the communications officer, I- I was born in Kenya- I used to have a cat, named Kamili. My first memory is watching my dad play the piano. I'm real."

Okay but I was wholly unprepared for how much it would mean to me to see more of Uhura's African identity actually being canonised by this show. The "I'm real" especially got to me; just a throwaway line but it really made me think of the Ben Sisko/Benny Russell parallels! Nyota, born in the 23rd century, is exactly the sort of person Benny Russell dreamed could exist in the future. She is real! She exists!

#celia gooding uhura u are everything 2 me #although. ten whole series of ''sci-fi utopia'' and we are still yet to actually SEE Africa or Asia properly lmao #literally this woman was having a traumatic flashback she was like OMG I'M AT THE SHUTTLECRASH AGAIN #meanwhile I was like OMG SHE'S IN KENYA AGAIN!!#STAR TREK SHOW ME 23th CENTURY AFRICA PLS #star trek: you can have a peek of skyscraper in the corner #me: omg a peek of skyscraper in the corner #(lol ok but in all seriousness. how the global south fits into a quote unquote ''developed'' TECH utopia is an important question!!#you could sidestep it in the 90s ig but now it feels like they're just being cowards about it lol)#all the same I am glad to have characters like her actually acknowledge where they come from in so many words #it does mean something #snw

i love the HORROR of City of Blank.

City of Blank is a webtoon about a world where wearing a mask that covers your eyes is how you avoid the unavoidable, ever present, mindless entities known as blanks.

They are weak to water and fire (and electricity), there are parts of the world too humid for them to exist. during winter you can finally see what your friends and family look like. there are parts of the world that never get cold enough, never get rain. The rich and privileged get to live in districts of cities where water curtains the area, preventing Blanks from entering.

imagine you're walking down the street and a strong enough gust of wind knocks your mask off. you're dead. if you're lucky.

Blanks stalk you unknowingly. they aren't aware, they aren't sentient, they are nothing and then suddenly it is a predator. suddenly like a magnet it latches onto your now exposed face.

you have to sleep with a mask, you have to get a mask when you're a child, your school uniform includes a mask and its so fun when it rains, you can see your friend's faces! you didn't know timmy's eyes were blue!

A blank steals your face. Your face. not the flesh of your face but YOUR FACE. it leaves you blind and no way to breathe or call out for help. your eyes stare at you in horror because it doesn't know why it did that, it doesn't understand whats happening, all it knows is thats you and you are dying- sufficating- and they can't do anything for you.

your own face watches you die. you are gone. the blank that stole your face IS NOT YOU. it will become you but it is NOT you. Your name, your voice, your memories, your personality- the blank will inherent them. but it is not YOU and it will NEVER be you.

you just stole someone's face. you went from not existing to existing and your birth was violent and horrific. you become a person. you can feel your organs grow, your bones develop, the memories come back to you but they were never yours.

who are you? who the FUCK are you?? wanted thats who you are, you are wanted and there are people with masks and weapons who will burn, freeze, electrocute you, take your face, and get a reward.

because you killed someone. you are a murderer.

and God forbid you have a child....

because they won't have a face. but they will have a mind. they will have a personality. they will grow and age and god help them if someone they love -a brother, a mother, a aunt, a friend- ever takes their mask off around them because they are a Blank. They are so kind, so sweet, and now they just killed someone against their will, against the will of their own mind and now who are they? who the FUCK are they???

they are wanted. because they just killed someone. they killed someone against their will- not in self defense or to save themselves but because that person lost/took off their mask.

GOD i love City of Blank.

#ramble #city of blank #its not a horror webtoon #but man when i think about it it sure is #its sci-fi #and its so good #spoilers?#i kept things vague

I did it! I FUCKING DID IT! After 4 months and a lot of breaks I finished Gideon the Ninth!

I am thriving! I am amazing! I am a literal god!

I should note here, that I'm not shitting on the book, it was one of the best things I read in a LONG time regarding epic fantasy, but it was a challange.

I'm not sure but the last time I attempted to read big book fantasy was like 4 years ago. I really got out of the habit of reading big books, reading books with small text, reading hardback books (no paperback in hungarian) and reading books with "big" words.

I bought Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth on October 8th 2023 and I started reading Gideon that day. Today is February 22nd 2024 and I finished it.

I will move onto Harrow when I'm finished with my other current reading plans (finish my libary books and finish a different book series i'm in the middle of) and I will definetly pick up Nona the Ninth some time this year.

That is it. Good by and oh my fucking god! I'M SO AWSOME!

#reading #reading update #gideon the ninth #tamsyn muir #the locked tomb #im so fucking good #and gay #fantasy #sci fi #sci fi and fantasy
