The duality of man aka.: when he is both your little pog champ and your poor little meow meow

I love Vash the Stampede. He's a pacifist. He's a hypercompetent gunman. He's a Christ figure. He's a sillie little guy. He wears hipster glasses and a gay earring. He's perpetually in mourning. He's a manmade horror beyond human comprehension, somewhere between a nuclear reactor and a biblically accurate angel. He's pathetic. He likes doughnuts. If you squint at the lore, he's transgender. There's a cute cat that follows him around. He falls in love with a man. The tall-tale-sounding legends about him are true, and he's miserable about it. No, I meant it about that manmade horror thing, he can vaporize cities like it's nothing. There's a scene where he obliviously dances his way into a hostage situation. He wears a trench coat in the desert heat. He has an evil twin. He's emotionally perceptive but horrible at communicating. If conflict is a trolley problem, he solves it by chucking himself onto the tracks, and he's riddled with scars from it. He's a century and a half old and is destined to watch those he loves wither and die around him or fall to darkness. He loves everyone anyway, fiercely, recklessly, though usually from arm's length. When he does truly let someone in, love changes him in ways that will haunt me for years. He's painfully human

rachel: do i love violence rachel: or do i convince myself that i love it in order to rationalise my continued part in this war marco: look, if you want me to be your therapist, you better start paying up

extremely weird to think about the fact that the internet is a collection of physical objects, like, if i send a message to a person on another continent, there's a continuous physical path that each packet followed between each of our routers and it probably passes through an undersea cable which doesn't feel like something that should be real how did people manage that

the animorphs TV show managed to do this in a completely different but equally stupid way: Rachel does not morph into a rodent. she does use tuna to lure the cat. but she does it by opening a can of tuna in front of the doggie door on Melissa/Chapman's front porch and wafting the smell inside to make the cat come out. as her normal-ass self with no disguise or morph of any kind. girl. chapman can probably smell the tuna. he could probably look out his window and see you acting sketch. that's not inconspicuous.

the tv animorphs are lucky that the tv yeerks are also much more incompetent than their book counterparts, because if the tv animorphs were up against the book yeerks they would've gotten found out within a week

I will never be over that moment in the 2nd animorphs book where the problem they were presented with was “ok how do we lure this cat towards us” and the solution they came up with was “let’s have a member of our team morph into a small prey animal and use them as live bait”

instead of thinking to maybe use like. a laser pointer. or a string.

watching the latest boston dynamics shit like "the science and engineering on display is incredible and awe-inspiring but the potential real-world applications have me very worried"

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

oh missy what a pity you don’t understand, you take me by the hearts when you take me by the hand

I love R. Dorothy Wayneright so much it’s unreal.
