#this line is disconnected

The guy staring into my flat definitely was admiring me and not grossed out by me pancaking on my broken couch amongst dirty dishes and empty mcd bags.

#it's october #this line is disconnected #please call again in spring

not sure if this was intentional or not but nemik saying in his manifesto “Remember this: Try.” is an interesting sentiment given that “do or do not, there is no try” is like one of the more famous lines from the original trilogy

#sw.txt #andor spoilers #andor #VERY INTERESTING IF THAT IS INTENTIONAL #maybe speaks to the disconnect between the jedi and the rebellion even after the order fell #the OT was written without the PT in mind but like the PT establishes yoda as a figurehead of the order #so like you could read that line as one being informed by a long familiarity with institutional power #and all the privileges that grants #there’s a similarly ‘heretical’ line from obiwan in uhhh wtf was that book called. planet something #the one by Greg bear #whatever it’s legends now but obiwan tells anakin that the force is not a nurse maid it will not protect you #which is a fairly radical thing for a Jedi to say #it’s understandable since it was shortly after he lost quigon #but I especially like when other sw media responds to established canon in a critical way #not necessarily to say it’s wrong but to present a perspective that frames the established canon as something you can contest

Ninjago Mermaid AU- Zane.

Species: Narwhal. Chosen because of their ability to withstand cold temperatures plus their color pallet.

Zane is a Marine “spy” Robot used by researchers to record and collect data of Merfolk in their natural environment. Made in a partnership with Borg Industries and Julien Laboratories, he is a revolutionary advancement in the robotics field, going past a simple language learning model level to becoming a true AI in the 25 years of development. Zane’s expedition is simple: to help marine biologists to study Merfolk and blend in the best he can.

Part of the reason Mike being queer is so important to me isn't just for romance or for his own arc, it's the theme of solidarity between Mike and Will throughout the seasons and even going back to their first meeting.

It's the fact that when you're unsafe/closeted, especially in a small town where you know no queer people, acceptance is sweet but the actual queer experience is so...lonely.

Will and Mike both think they're alone. They can talk to each other about anything and always have...but not this. God, not this.

Reciprocation be damned, being queer is so lonely.

#stranger things #getting distracted and thinking about jay from lucas on the line #the only other black boy who was nice to him and he had to move because he got (spoilers) motherfucking bombed #byler #lgbtq #i talked to my mom once about how it's weird and kind of disconnected a feeling to have a culture and history that my family doesn't #being queer is so lonely sometimes #thinking about that and thinking about how i never really think about that or put it into words before

Hi there, I hope you're doing well 😭 ❤️

I don't mean to bother you with this so please ignore if it makes you uncomfortable, but I was wondering if there's any Dottore piece in the works or if you're planning any in the future or something (any crumb will do KSNDJDBEHSJ) I love your writing and have been reading your fanfics a few times aha :"D

Have a good day, and I hope this doesn't come off rude! p(^-^)q much love!

In the works I have the Dottore halloween fic (one of the drafts I'm eyeing rn) and a modern au one as well!

My phone notes are kinda filled with incoherent concepts and rambles about him bc for the longest time I'd get ideas right before bed, or I'd wake up at 2am for some reason and I'd have Inspiration lol

Most of those are either too short or incoherent to really share, or I intend to actually turn them into fics at some point. I do have one that I'll share though bc I'm unsure where/what to use it in since it's mostly just dialogue... idk

"None of what you're doing matters," You tell him.

"Oh?"

"You're human. And even if you manage to carve the humanity out of yourself, to become a god... to what end? Nothing is forever."

His smile is slow, purposeful. "Perhaps. Does it bring you comfort, then, to know that none of this matters?"

When you don't answer, he continues, standing up to take the seat next to the operating table where you lie, instead. "To know that you've suffered for nothing?"

His fingers tap playfully against your sternum, over freshly bandaged sutures, and you hiss in pain. He smiles wider.

It did, you think. Not the thought that your suffering was pointless-- malicious and cruel for the sake of itself-- but the thought that he'll be forgotten with time, as all things are. But there's a glint in his eye now, a look you don't like. The sentiment turns to ash on your tongue, souring in your chest.

"I think I'll take you with me," He says, after a beat. "Since it doesn't matter, in the end."

A tear slides down your cheek and he clicks his tongue, wiping it away with his thumb.

"I need you to understand something," He tells you as he stands from the seat again, going back to what he was doing on the other side of the room, "I will never let you go. Do you understand? You will never see the light of day again. This lab will be the last thing you'll ever see."

Dottore must see the disappointment in your eyes. He clicks his tongue again, feigning sympathy. "But perhaps if you're good, I'll bring you something from the surface. As a reward. Now be quiet; these next tests don't require you to speak, and I don't need your input."

You feel numb.

#asks #i know this is probably a year old gkfjgkd #i wish tumblr would timestamp asks too so ik when they came in.... #my tumblr was logged out for a while #concepts #dottore x reader #yandere #my writing #i'm not gonna tag the hell out of this bc it's a concept lol #anyway for those of you who have played portal (first or second game. doesn't matter) #i imagine his lab much like that #in that it's below the surface #disconnected from the rest of the world #he probably views fresh air from the surface as a luxury and therefore a reward #(re: that one line in portal 2 about recycled air lol) #wait actually did i share this already... #omg i hope not gkdjgkdk #i genuinely cannot remember so lol if i did.... sorry gkdjfkd #maybe i did squeeze it into something... somewhere

im quoting from a critical theory final im writing but its really neat how return of the obra dinn is not a game about you.

there is no self in the game. you dont control anything, you were not part of the obra dinn's tragedy and nothing you do in-game can change their fates - or anything for that matter. they will remain dead, the obra dinn will disappear with the storm, you have no power to change the story or the game. your self do not matter, even if you are represented by the eyes of the inspector.

what mattered are the other, the memories, the stories of adventure and tragedy of those aboard the obra dinn, how they relate to other characters in their struggle or in their demise. this game is not about you, it is about them.

but its a cycle of remember and re-member. you feel a disconnect to these strangers' stories and experiences but you are thrown into their boots. you were not part of the obra dinn, but you feel pity, anger, sadness, disgust and fear for their fates, do you not?

and i think that's really neat. also im very drained </3

#swan .txt #not art #rambles #return of the obra dinn #// i was going to use papers please as a second example but #as the papers please inspector your choices still matter and fate changing #theres still a self represented there but not with obra dinn baybee #which is also funny bc the obra dinn inspector has like 4 lines max #and the game randomizes their voice for just those 4 lines #so. thats a disconnect babee! #ho boy finals getting me delirious

"it's just not that good" is such a bad reason not to analyze the underpinnings and assuptions of a work, because "is it good [as fiction]" and "is it good [politically]" are questions that have nothing to do with each other

#i don't think examining every work of fiction you read or watch to make sure it's 100% in line with your politics is a good use of your time #but i also think it's good to recognize when there's something unstated in a work that creates a disconnect

OJ2 my beloved/hated

#how do they expect me to fight against Midnight when Mic rolls up to the arena saying 'you've looked after me so much Midnight' #I can't make him fight her cmonnn they're buddies look at them #When the Mic DLC came out it destroyed my entire game and I couldn't save anymore and I had to start over #my Switch could NOT handle him #but I don't play the Switch version anymore cause paying for online is stinky #I have matched with one person today and I lost tragically #why is it way more embarrassing to lose as Mic than as any other character #to the Nomu who beat me to a pulp a minute ago I am sorry I didn't mean to disconnect it was my wifi i promise i didnt rage quit i promise #I play on English for the sweet dialogue between the trio but this comes with a catch which is that I am forced to listen #to mic say the most cringe lines you could imagine when he attacks #does anyone still play OJ2 besides that Nomu who just eviscerated me. does anyone want to fight. i'll let you be aizawa

I'm about a third of the way thru the Lucas book right now and !!! There's so many things I love about it already, here's some fun and/or things from what I've read so far:

Lucas, just <3 I just love Lucas a lot and it's so nice reading something focused on him it's so hard to find in even fandom sometimes

Steve helped Dustin with his hair for the first day of school

Dustin apparently can't keep his mouth shut and has said multiple times to Lucas what the hair care secrets were woejek

Lucas looovveess martial arts movies, which is so fitting imo

Lucas's Peer mentor telling him that it's okay to be a nerd and a jock the first day he met him, and that high school rules were all made up and stupid

(makes me pissier at eddie NGL but also Dustin and Mike don't help lol)

Robin as Lucas's confidante!

Steve apparently being aggressive on the basketball court

(this book does not paint Steve and Lucas as close at anyway at all which makes me sad but considering the tone of the book and the story the writer is penning... I get why he does not portray that relationship that way)

Lucas finds basketball genuinely fun! He compares the rush of practice to the same feeling he gets while playing DND!

Lucas was concerned about not only betraying his friends, but was hoping if he made varsity and got off the bench his status could help protect them from bullying just like him being friends with the basketball team before actually making it on the team protected him from an early point in the year

They serve food and you can play board games at the family video???? (It seems to be to fill a void that starcourt left but I'm still ??? This is so interesting to me)

#lucas sinclair #the party stranger things #lucas on the line #lucas on the line spoilers #ig? #like kts been out for a yeae almost kow #now #anyway ive been enjoying it a lot! #esp enjoying something that actually confronts what its like to be black in the 80s esp in a small town lol #at least to an extent #also just the disconnect of even just coolness standards/beauty standards? between lucas and the party #and his parents being wary of him dating max! #idk jsut eating all of this up hes a fun narrator and he cares so much even when he makes mistakes #you know its not bc he doesnt care

One of my favorite hobbies is opening the Genius annotations of lyrics I'm checking purely to roast the absolutely ATROCIOUS "analysis" some people throw up with full confidence on that site, oh my god.

#this was about 'the garden' by the crane wives today but I do this with some regularity lmfao #somebody literally went 'the line about hammers and nails is clearly a reference to the crucifixion of jesus' #WHEN THE ENTIRE SONG IS ABOUT BEING BURIED IN THE GROUND. IT IS A REFERENCE TO COFFINS BABE. #you canNOT just jump from eden to the fucking crucifixion oh my god. I cannot deal #what are you a protestant youth pastor??? NO #what kind of bullshit conjecture #YOUR ANALYSIS IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD!!! #god something else just came out and I was looking at lyrics like 'holy hell they really just let you say anything here.' #like I do think genius is great for finding references to things the artist actually said about what they were writing about #but if you're gonna do specific textual analysis you NEED to actually write out the argument #a lot of it is flat out wrong but some of it is like 'maybe you're right but this is so disconnected that you NEED to make the connection'

[weirdwonderfulworld]

one more thought. watcher isn't entirely comparable to netflix or other streaming services. unlike netflix, watcher tv exclusively hosts content that they've made. watcher isn't limiting any access to content that isn't their own. the closest thing to what watcher is doing is when streaming services have content exclusive to their platform, like netflix originals, tubi original movies, disney+ aninated shorts... it can be frustrating to not be able to access content because it only exists on one paywalled platform, but when it's literally created, owned, and funded by the platform itself, it doesn't really make sense to expect that content in any other way. you can want the content to be free or hosted on another platform. but the creator has the final say.

(and yeah at that point, maybe it's expected for things to get pirated. but unlike other media where sometimes the creators don't exactly discourage piracy bc their hands are tied and otherwise there's no way to access their work except through this larger entity, watcher is both creating the content and providing the means to access it. they have control over their own work. they can choose to do with it as they please.)

again i think it's normal to feel shocked, overwhelmed, upset, sad, disappointed, frustrated, etc. but if you specifically view this move as a betrayal against you, i'm personally inclined to think that you thought you were entitled to watcher's creations all along. you weren't. you aren't. you're not entitled to anybody's art, creations, or passions. and if you want to combat all of that by saying watcher doesn't make art in your opinion and thus shouldn't be allowed to treat it as such.... you and i have drastically different viewpoints and i don't think we can have productive conversation here lmao

#watcher #thoughts #ppl keep reading between the lines on my posts it's sort of wild #my subjective thoughts are that watcher fucked up on the execution of all this; #$6/mo is probably a little too steep for what this is; #and a move like this feels sort of off-brand for how watcher has been running itself up until this point #but again that's all subjective #i feel like the thoughts i've been posting lately are more objective analyses of things #and i keep posting more than i ought to bc i find it personally disheartening how ppl want to discredit watcher as non-creatives #or that they're part of some wider conglomerate of content making machines #i interpret it as ppl misunderstanding the value in art and wanting to enjoy a creation in a way that goes against the creators' intentions #which again you're free to do. but some ppl aren't even acknowledging the disconnect there #like you can make it a prerogative to watch content made solely by watcher while badmouthing watcher but like. why #i personally do not seek out/fight for access to content from people i loathe but that's just me lol #discourse

[puppetsoftomorrow]

the reason i left twitter was in fact not because of the renewal campaign but because a user was mad netflix was adapting a book into a film rather than picking up legends, refering to it as 'some dirty old book'. that book? Lady Chatterley's Lover

i never got over that tbh

#phoebe returns #read another book! #the disconnect was just astonishing #this line goes thru my head on the daily lol
