More Willel and Twelvegate in S2
Old and new things I noticed.
2x02 The half way happy scene
In Hopper’s cabin there’s so much yellow and red I could post twenty screenshots. I love it, and I love that Hopper’s secret knock spells “US” (his family) But to me the most interesting thing is when he and El have breakfast. There’s a owl on the table and a bottle in front of two “little people”, a red one and a yellow one. But they’re only in this scene in S2, when El says that she’s half way happy. Only in 4x01, when she’s with Will, sheìll say that she’s twice as happy.
Same episode.
Bob shows Jon how to use the camera, a Back to the future Easter egg. When he says how to zoom in, it’s 5:42 (5+4+2=11)
And when it’s 5:43 (12), he says “And double u to zoom back out.” Double u (you?) Twins?
But this moment is also interesting because the Willel hint is not there when Joyce rewatches the tape. The time is different. So, different timeline? But what does it mean for Will and El? Why does the hint about them exist in one timeline but not in the other?
2x03. In the Phineas Gage scene, that is about Will, behind Mr Clarke there’s the news about Kathryn D. Sullivan, the first American female astronaut who stepped outside her spacecraft, on October 11, 1984. Also, the two Extras?
Later, Hopper and Owens mention leaks spreading into Hawkins, like Will says. They say it twice. Also, some red and yellow.
2x05. I just rewatched S2 to be sure. We only see the number twelve on Bob’s car in this scene (the same sticker is on Steve’s car in S4). When Will is possessed and they’re trying to find Hopper.
And I just noticed this parallel between Will and El.
While Will is trying to find Hopper, El is trying to communicate with Terry, and there’s a red X on the blanket like the X on the drawing, and a lamp that looks a lot like the disco ball of the snow ball, the one at the Arcade and at Rink-o-mania. The ball represents the Mind Flayer (I made a post about it) Not a good sign.
Like the song we hear when El arrives at Terry’s house, Green green grass of home. A man dreams about coming home only to realize that his family is dead and it’s all an illusion because he is actually in prison and about to be executed. What a happy song for a reunion with “mom”. Oh, and there’s also the name Peter on the truck. And if Henry is Peter, yeah. Not a happy reunion.
2x06 At the lab, after Owens’ little experiment and Hopper being very protective of Will

Except for the countdown clock during my own three spaceflights, I have never watched a clock as closely as I watched the sleep timer during that first shift. To my mild astonishment but great delight, Robin Williams had jumped at the opportunity to help us celebrate the shuttle’s return to flight with a rousing crew wakeup call. On top of thinking it was a wildly fun idea, he had a personal connection to the crew: he and Pinky Nelson had been contemporaries at college in Southern California. He sent me a five-inch reel of tape with about a dozen variations of “Gooood morning, Discovery!” on it. At least half of them were so edgy that playing them on air-to-ground would surely have gotten me fired, but the others provided more than enough material for my needs. Mr. Williams’s agent had also been thrilled by our scheme because of the publicity boost it would offer. He gave me a scare when he laid out his plan for promoting Robin’s participation ahead of the launch. I told him in no uncertain terms that this was to be a surprise, and that I would destroy the tape if there was so much as a peep from their end beforehand (I had the foresight to demand they give me the studio master tape, so could make good on my threat). For the first morning’s wakeup, Pierre and I made an audio tape with two of Robin’s craziest opening shouts and a corny number Mike Cahill had written to the jaunty tune of the Green Acres sitcom title song. We had managed to keep our escapade secret the entire time it was afoot. Only Pierre, KT, and I knew what was about to hit the airwaves.
The sleep clock finally hit zero. The tone that signaled an active link to the shuttle beeped into everyone’s headset a fraction of a second later, followed instantly by Robin Williams bellowing “GOOOOOOOD MORNING, DISCOVERY!” Quizzical looks and then huge grins spread across the faces in the control room at the sound of his voice, so very familiar but utterly unexpected within the hallowed walls of space shuttle mission control. On he went: “Good morning, Discovery. Rise and shine, boys. Time to start doin’ that shuttle shuffle, you know what I mean? Hey, here’s a little song comin’ from the billions of us to the five of you. Rick, start ’em off, baby. The Hawkster, to you.” Then the “Green Acres” melody started, and Cahill and his pals launched into lyrics that seemed absolutely perfect for the shuttle team’s happiest day in nearly three years:
On orbit is the place to be,
Free-wheeling on Discovery.
Earth rolling by so far below.
Just give her the gas and look at this baby go.
We can’t believe we made it here,
So high above the atmosphere.
We just adore the scenery.
Yeah, Houston’s great but give me that zero-gee.
Hey, look out the window!
That’s neat!
Cap’n, I’m hungry.
Let’s eat!
Maybe we’ll land at … White Sands?
Uh-uh.
Look ma, no hands!
This is the life! Oh, what a flight!
Earth orbit, we are here!
Rick Hauck jumped onto the air-to-ground link as soon as the tune ended, with an exuberant, “Gooooood morning, Houston!” The STS-26 crew was clearly awake and in very good spirits.

Bisexual Nonfiction
The Winner: Appropriate Behavior by Maria San Filippo
Finalists:
See why the title essay of this book went viral on the Paris Review website back in 2019.
"The book brings that same frank, funny gaze to bear on a succession of other doomed romances, mining them for complicated truths about how the love stories we inherit, consume and tell come to shape our experience and expectations. Think of it as rehab for road-weary romantics." —The Guardian
Carrying It Forward: Essays from Kistahpinanihk by John Brady McDonald (not carried by Tertulia)
Never Simple: A Memoir by Liz Scheier
Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-Monogamy by Rachel Krantz

The Winner: Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang
Finalists:
Locus Magazine called this finalist for the 2022 National Book Award an "extraordinary literate and structurally inventive novel about female sexuality, cruelty, desire, and trauma that echoes the work of Lovecraft and Melville. A book this good, this devastating, should factor on all the award lists..."
Big Girl: A Novel by Mecca Jamilah Sullivan
Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley
Our Wives Under the Sea: A Novel by Julia Armfield
Gay Fiction
The Winner: The Foghorn Echoes by Danny Ramadan
Finalists:

Call Me Cassandra by Marcial Gala
God’s Children Are Little Broken Things by Arinze Ifeakandu

Lesbian Memoir/Biography
The Winner: Lost & Found: A Memoir by Kathryn Schulz
This thriller/sci-fi mash-up was named a best book of the year by NPR.
"In the end, The Paradox Hotel succeeds as both a mystery and as a story involving time travel. Do you want head-spinning theories on the flow of time and what it might do to people and places? You’ll find both in abundance here. But you’ll also find a resourceful, haunted protagonist pushing herself to the limit to uncover the truth behind an impossible case—one that eventually leads her to a conclusion that satisfies both of the genres from which this novel emerged." —Tor.com

Ultimate cringefail; cringe technically-a-furry Threshold AU Janeway dates a hologram while the man raising her lizard babies stands off to the side looking like this D:
I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE FAIR HAVEN FOR THIS HAHAHA. CRINGE NAENAE THOUGHTIES WHEEEEE::::::
Like I know some of us toy with the idea that Janeway and Chakotay are a little bit relationally closer (Especially regarding Threshold AU) during the events of the TV series, but I'm more in line with the idea that they're strictly plat outside of that one little indulgence they have in Isabo's Shirt hehe, which is fittingly before Fair Haven takes place. :3c And with that I think both Kathryn and Chakotay allow each other their own little indulgences whenever they occur, regardless of how opposed they are of each other's choices. Him pursuing Seven is a big punch in the gut for Kathryn though. :)
Funnily too in regards to Threshold AU, Alice and I had humored the idea prior to Fair Haven that Kathryn would "indulge" herself on the Holodeck similarly to what Tuvok does during the pon farr. What exactly she DOES is left up to interpretation, I'd humored the idea that it starts off as her pre-programming Mark to roll around with and then she discreetly edits the program throughout the course of the series lol (Especially after she gets the Dear John letter from him YEOWCH). With that said hahaha I don't think Michael Sullivan would come as a shock to Chakotay, I love his reaction to it on the show, and I don't think he'd be particularly threatened by the endeavor. I think he'd be glad to see her indulging in a way that is safe to her, considering in Isabo's Shirt she'd confessed to him that what holds her back is that fear of losing him; a hologram boyfriend seems pretty risk-free in that regard.
I love it as well in the show whenever Kathryn gets to pretend she's living another life; as I'm sure in the AU being a single mother of three isn't the most attractive quality to her. Though I do fancy the idea that her and Tom (Who'd likely go the extra mile to childproof his magnum opus holodeck program) would absolutely take the triplets to Fair Haven and dress them up in quaint little outfits teehee and show them around and everything. :3c Chakotay never seems to enamored by the holodeck so I'm sure Fair Haven would be one of their things with the kids.
#threshold au#Ask#Prettypinkdork#SORRY IF U WERE EXPECTING ART I NEVER KNOW HAHA SAHJKSHDJKSD#I WANNA DRAW SO MUCH U___U <333333333#i really wanna draw the triplets in attire for the janeway lambda one holodeck program STILLLLLLL#but theyd be INFANTS at least in fair haven they'd be toddlies hehe#I DIGRESS

Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-2) was made with a hand-held 70mm camera in the rear station of the T-38 chase plane. Mission specialist/astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan exposed the frame as astronauts Joe N. Engle and Richard H. Truly aboard the Columbia guided the vehicle to an unpowered but smooth landing on the desert area of Edwards Air Force base in California. The picture provides a good view of the underside of the returning spacecraft.

It's January 13th. On this day in 1978, NASA selected its eighth class of astronauts, nick-named the "Thirty-Five New Guys." Group 8 kicked off a new era of astronaut diversity as it included the first six 👩🚀 females – Shannon Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn Sullivan, Judith Resnik, Anna Fisher and Sally Ride.
Biochemist Shannon Lucid was the first American woman to make a long-duration spaceflight. In 1996, during mission Mir NASA-1, she spent 188 days in space, including 179 days aboard Mir, the Russian space station.
Physician Margaret Rhea Seddon and fellow Group 8 alumni Robert Gibson were the first American active duty astronauts to marry. In 1993, Seddon was the Payload Commander on the Extended Duration Orbiter Medical Project life science research mission, which NASA recognized as the most successful Spacelab flown to date.
On October 11th, 1984, aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-41-G, geologist Kathryn Sullivan became the first American woman to perform a spacewalk.
On August 30th, 1984, aboard Space Shuttle Discovery's maiden voyage (STS-41-D), Electrical engineer Judith Resnik became the first Jewish American to make the journey to space. Unfortunately, she died in the 1986 💥 Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster.
On November 8th, 1984, aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-51-A, chemist Anna Fisher became the first mother to fly in space. She's currently working as a station Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) and a developer on the Orion Project.
On June 18th, 1983, aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-7, physicist Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly in space. After the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster, she served on two investigations into the cause of the accident. Four members of Thirty-Five New Guys died in the Challenger Disaster – Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, and Dick Scobee.
The diversity of Thirty-Five New Guys wasn't limited to 👩🚀 females. The group also included the first three 👨🏾🚀 African American astronauts – McNair, Guion Bluford, and Frederick Gregory; and the first 👨🚀 Asian American astronaut – Onizuka.
Astronaut Group 8 was NASA's first selection of astronaut candidates since August 1969. Due to the long delay between the last 🚀 Apollo lunar mission in 1972 and the first flight of the Space Shuttle in 1981, few astronauts from the older groups stayed with NASA. Since Group 8, a new group of candidates has been selected roughly every two years. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

31 Days of quietYA: The Books Your Mod Wishes She Got To
I always have big plans for my reading each year. And this year, especially, part of me thought I’d really have a big year what with the being stuck at home thing. But brains aren’t that simple. And some books I just didn’t get my hands on early enough. So here’s a list of all the 2020 releases I really wanted to pick up this year and....didn’t (I’m not gonna include sequels though because....yikes).
All links go to Bookshop.org. If you purchase through those links, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you AND you’re supporting indie bookstores around the US.
