I think a spaceship that makes no sense is the spaceship that makes the most sense for this crew, considering all that happens around here, Captain.
Moist regards,
#0505
honestly #0505, you're right and you should say it. i like to imagine that our ship is a very strange bastion of the crossovers where each character has a spiderverse-like portal we just... drag them into sometimes for whatever shitposts we make lmao ;; it makes sense then that the ship itself just. doesn't abide by the rules of reality. it's an eldritch thing. open a door that led to the second floor? bam, you're already in the room you're looking for. labs? nope, kitchen.
the only time it's ever consistent is like. in a crisis. then for some weird reason everything is in place. (plot convenience, the reason is plot convenience.)
also please dry off your regards, they're going to contaminate the lab samples of the hell mushrooms. o7

I fucking love Ryan Gosling in these Barbie interviews. Someone asked "hey what would Ken say in his bio on a dating app? what kind of person is he looking for?" and Ryan's like "uh... well before he even looks for a Type Of Person™, he's gotta be real up front that he's got no job... and no house... no real prospects of any sort, really, he just kinda sleeps on the beach, and -- you know what, he doesn't even have a phone? I... I don't know if he can even sign up for this app?" and Margot said "oh but he has abs. That should get him somewhere" and he said "no, no, I don't think he even has an email address, I don't think there's any way to contact him??"
and it's like three minutes of them talking about Ken not even having any pickup lines because his way of flirting isn't even flirting, it's him picking up something Barbie accidentally dropped (even though Barbie doesn't make mistakes) and saying "oh hey you dropped this 😳" and then offering it to Barbie and then when Barbie says thank you while making eye contact he's shaking and thinking "oh god what a perfect day Barbie looked at me" and then he'll ride that high the entire day. and the interviewer was like "but that isn't a pickup line" and Ryan said "no I don't... I don't think Ken does that, I think he just creates moments with Barbie and cherishes them" WHAT THE HELL SIR YOU'RE MAKING ME FALL FOR KEN EVEN MORE

Was just listening to MCR's The Foundations Of Decay and hit that part where the singer goes "let the flesh submit itself to gravity," and the stress that he puts on the latter half of the sentence turns it into kind of a scream,
and I'm thinking about the nature of art as a thing concerned with surfaces and in some ways deeply with beauty as an exercise of communication, and in the face of this, what it means to tear back the facade over the infrastructure, lay the girders bare, to force the medium to strain and creak under the force of what is being expressed.
We think about a truth too much to bear as a thing reserved for gods and terrible gods at that, but I think that there are countless things in casual human conversation every day that are some degree of unbearable, and we wrap our stubborn tongues and teeth around them anyway, if we do not ourselves originate them.
And I mean. I was exactly that kind of kid that listened to MCR, Linkin Park, Evanescence, in middle school. It may have seemed very funny from the outside, as a person who grew up in a context with no shortage of sweet words. The notion of 'teen rebellion' vaguely occurred to me but I couldn't imagine what I possibly would fight against (my imagination was limited)
Even then, to my neophyte mind, it seemed that there was something about the nature of raw emotion. Some things, that are never meant to be said sweetly. Some things that can only be howled.
Humanity does not merely have the ability to scream but we need it to survive. The sublime is not outside us; it moves through our bodies as medium. A singer grips their voice until it cracks, and lightning flashes between their teeth. The sound hits the audience like the crack of thunder when elements pass the tipping point, heat and moisture, and they become rain.
We can admire these things externally but art proves they live inside of us just as well. We are the vessels of emotions that cannot be described or summarized.

(Context: I am Level 1 autistic and sometimes experience verbal shutdowns)
Things I appreciate someone doing if I’m upset and cannot talk:
- only asking one question at a time
- asking yes/no or binary questions instead of vague ones (Ex: “do you need space?” instead of “what do you need?”)
- being okay with not receiving an answer at all, and moving on (or rephrasing questions if necessary)
- accepting gesture, sign language, and/or AAC without pointing it out as unusual or joking about it
- offering comfort items or distractions, and allowing me to choose whether or not to use them myself
- treating me with respect and not talking down to me; there is a difference between being gentle and treating me like a child
- not assuming that I will regain speech as soon as I feel better
- letting me joke around and participate in conversations without speaking, even when I look happy and calm
- choosing communal activities that are low-key and don’t rely on verbal speech, such as watching a show, painting, or looking at memes together
- understanding if I need space, and leaving me be if I walk away from a conversation or leave suddenly
- letting me use comfort items and stim, even if it looks weird to you
- understanding that saying words =/= having full speech again; I usually regain echolalia before being able to generate my own sentences

i've said it before and i'll say it again: miss me with your insulting frustrating Comedic Topic Bingos (TM) when they are literally just statements in square table form. if you make statements in square table form, i cant stop you! cant complain! success! sexy of you to have put a bunch of words out there for people to measure how relatable you are, how accurate your future sight is, how good you deconstructed this topic. make that ask meme you wanted. hot af. go get that confirmation. slay. love. be free
however if you just put a bunch of statements in a square roster WITH SOME FIELDS IN A LINE DIRECTLY CONTRADICTING EACH OTHER OR BEING MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, AND CALLING IT A BINGO, YOU'RE SUCCESSFULLY INCREASING MY LEVELS OF FRUSTRATION!! IF THE FIELDS CONTRADICT EACH OTHER IT'S NOT BINGO!! YOU'VE MADE IT UNFAIR BY DESIGNING IT WITH A SECTION THAT IS FULLY UNWINNABLE!!
and if you say "well not everything can be won. these arent supposed to be won" then why didnt you just Not make a bingo...

Ghosts are the most efficient and financially feasible way to staff a space craft. In space travel every kilogram of food, equipment, and personnel costs a fortune in fuel, minimizing weight is always the biggest goal next to safety and function. Ghosts? Weightless. The food and water they need? Nonexistent. What I'm saying is, moon's not haunted ENOUGH. Put down that shotgun and appreciate my NASA (Nonliving Apparition Space Agency) project proposal god damnit -

also, i know im not saying anything new here but while I did enjoy seeing hayden & ewan again [ honestly, I'm just happy hayden knows how much his performance as anakin means to ppl ] I'm just disappointed in MYSELF that I didn't see disney using that sense of nostalgia prequel fans have/had as a marketing tool. like UHG. don't get me wrong, there were bits on the series I enjoyed, however, it didn't nearly rip me apart as much as it could have, and they abandoned the more grueling [ but satisfying work ] of tearing obi wan apart inwardly in favor for a more action based, outward plot.
