There’s a lot of “humans, fuck yeah!” and content like that, where people post about how humans are so much more special than aliens. This somewhat bothers me, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts on that phenomenon?

Are you talking in (Doylist) context of tumblr as a whole, or of sci fi fandom, or of NASA or SETI? Or is this in (Watsonian) context of the within-Animorphs forums we see in canon in #16, or post-war in #54, or is this about Animorphs fic/meta in general, or my Animorphs fic/meta?

To answer for myself: Any time I'm writing from Tom Berenson's POV, I am deliberately writing him with a massive pro-human anti-alien bias. That's why I had Ghost in the Shell hinge on him being dumbfounded by human villains. Hopefully it's kinda justified, if not excused, in light of his backstory.

Any time I'm not writing Tom, I will admit I have an easier time headcanoning about human society/human thoughts/human feelings than about hork-bajir or yeerks. I get paid to read and write about humans, and there is just less to know about taxxon society than human society. If I want to write about an andalite firefighter, then... do andalites fight fires? do they have jobs? do they search for jobs? do they apply for jobs? do they interview? do they get paid money? do they have money? do they have fire? So on forever. It can be paralyzing. Writing humans is often easier, at least for me.

To speculate about all of fandom: I assume that every tumblr poster and sci fi reader is a human. And that it is easier to feel love for the species to whom one's best friend, lover, and favorite cousin all belong, when compared to a species that is strictly imaginary. We could argue forever about if yeerks are monsters or lovers or fascists or victims or all of the above. But if I say "humans are awesome," most of us will simply think of our favorite human, and smile.

So it turns out Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death plays Queen instrumentals, and after listening way too hard to the coffee date scene, I gotta share how well the part of the song they used fits.

Crowley gets a fantastically dramatic entrance to the section that makes everyone feel things:

Mama, ooh I don't wanna die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

Great for a snake having an existential crisis. Then we get the instrumental break, which builds until it drops off right in time to highlight the comedy of:

Until Aziraphale says:

I see a little silhouetto of a man

He sure did!

Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me

Of course you are, bud.

(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo Galileo Figaro

History jokes!

Spare him his life from this monstrosity 🥲

And there's a reason beyond the dialogue why this part feels so stressful, because it gets the back and forth of:

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!)

Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!)

Go back and listen to the scene, it's a very subtle joke. 😄

#realizing where 'silhouetto of a man' was cracked me up #good omens #good omens 2 #i may or may not be in the process of putting way too much effort into a gifset again but i'm having fun so far. so #the later scene with Maggie and Nina in the shop right before Crowley explodes has BoRhap again but it's just the solo #v watches good omens #Nina good omens #give me coffee or give me death

so tomorrow will mark a full week of me being in the hospital. I'm gonna be fine, but I had some bladder cancer removed and we're dealing with an infection and some crazy swelling in the fallout. They did get it all, but we're waiting on a bunch of test results and hey it turns out it Super Hurts if a lady goes digging around in the walls of your organs cutting things out and burning things off like a lovely little arts and crafts extravaganza

I'm not here to ask for money - I am very, very lucky to have a support net under me - but. If anyone has photos of just very cute small animals? I would like to see your kittens and cats and baby whatsits. It would help my healing I think. I haven't seen my cats since I got here so I need images to tide my soul over.

thank u in advance I'm probably about to zonk out for the night, I will see babies in the morning 🩷

#coffee talks #the nurses are all very nice and I have a good doc #I'm just getting very tired of being here #if y'all do feel like perusing one of my shops they are in the pinned post #but as stated this is mostly about cute images #my folks will get me thru this

Not to sound like a boomer on main, because I love my phone- I do. But I really miss the day when I could hang out in public without having to hear everyone else's phones. I don't care if there are babies crying (because babies cry sometimes) or if other people are having conversations (because that's what people come to cafes and such to do) but hearing tinny little phone sounds blasting out loud out of their speakers drives me insane. I'm only in my 30's, why are you making me complain about how things were "back in my day" like I'm 80? Public phone noise is prematurely aging me. Send help.

#Complaining #Like an old lady #I'm not I swear #But also- Back in my day #*shakes fist at sky*#It's giving “Old man screams at cloud”#I am the old man #Only Im not a man Im a woman and instead of screaming at clouds im slowly having my sanity stolen by people watching videos on their phones #out loud in public spaces #Can we normalize not doing this?#Use headphones or something #Please- I beg of you #technology #cafe #coffee shop #writing #im just trying to write a fun little story i don't care whats happening on your phone #keep it to yourself

intrigued by the implications of stone and wade's dynamic in the second movie

#atlas.art #artists on tumblr #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #sonic movie #dr robotnik #agent stone #wade whipple #wade is the only guy who sees stone with robotnik in the first movie and then just is casually a regular at his shop in the next movie #tails steals his car from outside the shop the first night in the movie and then wade comes back again for his morning coffee the next day #how much fucking time a day is he spending in that shop #I'm just saying-#stone has two hands-

my favorite part of fandom is that specific moment when we all collectively go, "Oh yes, now blorbo needs to open a coffee shop" followed by the infamous "and they should fall in love w shitto while they're at it"

I know I'm a week late (oops) but the thought of spending a smutty New Year's Eve with Bucky 👀

The thought of his plump, soft lips peppering kisses up your sensitive inner thighs while the quiet groan that slips from you hangs in the air.

Your fingers weave through his hair, encouraging him to focus his attention on the task at hand.

You hear him moan quietly, trailing his lips higher to meet the soft, soaking wet folds of your sex and he doesn't waste any more time. He kisses over your body gently at first, losing himself in the feeling of your copious slick arousal coating his lips.

Very soon after he's begun, he can't seem to get enough. He's hungry for this. His tongue licks broad strokes from your throbbing clit to your fluttering entrance and back again, lapping at your body like the taste is everything he's ever needed.

He's gripping your hips and thighs, hoping to be able to press you tighter against his mouth since nothing feels like it's enough for either of you.

Not until his tongue dips into your entrance, lapping your arousal right from the source. This is what he needs. He's spent far too long craving your taste; whole evenings spent pleasuring himself, doing his best to remind himself of how it feels to be exactly where he is right now.

He's achingly hard, no doubt about it but he's not ready to think about that yet. Not even close.

In the distance you hear the soft pop and fizzing of fireworks, marking the turn of the New Year. You can't see them but you don't need to. You'd far rather focus on the New Year's kiss you're receiving.

#becca's thots #becca writes spice #I couldn't let this thought go so I just decided to write it #finding it really hard to get motivated to write anything atm #everything I write is feeling really repetitive #idk I'm just feeling a little off at the minute #starting to wish I'd taken a break over Christmas instead of working in the coffee shop

The first time I ever heard industrial music in my life I was attending a meeting at a shitty unpaid internship at some pretentious coffee shop in Bushwick. Think 2013 era NYC gentrification, that kinda place. I was so enamoured with the sound of metal pipes making horrible noises I couldn't listen to a word being said by my faux anarchist employer. I went home like that coffee shop is the only place in the world that has access to The Sounds. I'll never hear The Sounds again. Anyways two years later I learned about industrial noise.

#text #all these years later i'm convinced that coffee shop might actually just have been playing the silent hill 2 soundtrack

' robin felt the heat creeping up her cheeks, eyes wide, fixated on the girl that was studying by the window. she was sure it looked like she'd seen a ghost; a very pretty ghost that smelled like lavender and was crazy enough to come and drink a coffee at 5:30 a.m. on a monday. '

"are people not into that?" i ask, after posting my weird niche shit to the internet, despite knowing it to be weird niche shit.

#jsyk sylkius or anything adjacent to it does not “Do Numbers” in any way and i observed this some time ago #i assume that's the “rival ships” element at work but who knows really #that sort of thing is like femslash in that everyone approves of it but nobody actually reads or writes it #but who would have thought sylvie beating loki with a stick would not bring in droves of readers???! shocking twist there!#& i don't consider sifki a rarepair but my rarepair standards are VERY strict like if there's >5 fics a pairing is basically mainstream #chasing popularity would annoy me though & i just don't have the mental spoons to try writing stuff i wouldn't personally read #yeah i *could* put my blorbos to work in a coffee shop but what cost to my own enjoyment levels? AT WHAT COST FANGELA???#you can't please everyone so you may as well just please yourself and if anyone else likes it you've found some fellow freaks so yay #i don't mean please yourself in a wanking sense. though feel free to do that too it probably counts as a cardio workout idk.#BUT ANYWAY #fic related #ps i am v glad there's the “warning: loki” tag because i think/hope it acts as a filter for 'he did nothing wrong in his life ever' types #who are Valid & etc obviously but i write my morally grey characters to be morally grey and the tag might help avoid conflict #though tbh i write almost every character to be morally grey in some way so i can't claim to have left my comfort zone here #(i'm not joking when i say the 1987-89 run of Dr Who shaped my entire future fannish life from a young and apparently v impressionable age)

another non-animorphs question. what resources on sociology do you recommend?

books and articles

I'm not a sociologist, and I've never so much as taken a class in it! Can anyone with a degree in sociology weigh in?

#sociology #social science #nothing to do with animorphs #I'm just a coffee shop

'cause i've been here so many times before don't you think I look pretty curled up on this bathroom floor? but where you see weakness I see wit sometimes I fall to pieces just to see what bits of me don't fit 'cause when I stand oh those folks will run and tell the tales of what i've become they'll speak of me, oh in whispered tones and say my name like it shakes their bones 'cause we'll dance together so close we're sharing breath but now i'm leading, doesn't that just scare you to death? 'cause i'm all yours, you're all mine let's dance together, you and I 'cause i'm not trapped, oh with you, you see you're the one who's trapped with me 'cause you are in the earth of me you are in the earth of me my head's not yours it's mine and I'll take my fucking time 'cause I know, I know, I know

#yeah i'm being so normal in this coffee shop #the restraint it takes not to just yell and scream along with him is immense #the amazing devil

I'm at least 30 minutes into a incoherent ramble about how I think the coffee shop AU is gonna become canon but the more I write, the more I understand that this is insane but you can't take away this feeling from me. We can only wait.

#i swear the hiatus brain hasn't affected me I'm just like this #tlt #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #alecto the ninth #coffee shop au
