They’re crazy about each other

There are many stories about Dhio, nearly every one of them is false.
And he did. He made a supersonic man out of Alex! Or maybe Alex was like, Tag Me In! This has me weeping.
and it’s one of the most cinematic moments in queer cinema
Big fan of characters realizing they don't get to die. They have to live. And grow. And be a person. And deal with shit they thought they'd never have to. And be fucked up about it. I would like more of this. Enough dying for honor or as redemption. It ain't. You're just a corpse. There is no moral value in dirt time.

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th
No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.
After a vacation in Alpha Centauri, Gabriel and Beelzebub come back to earth and move in together. They proceed to be the worst and most baffling neighbors anyone in the neighborhood has ever experienced.
- They introduced themselves as Bee and Jim, but immediately started laughing about it, so people are pretty sure those aren't their real names.
- Neither of them seem to have jobs, but they must be rich, because their house is massive and they're always wearing fancy clothes, and their wallets are bursting with money. Maybe they’re in the mafia?
- Speaking of fancy clothes, “Jim” is always wearing designer suits. There is an ongoing game where people attempt to take a picture of him in any other clothes. One time, an enterprising teenager went so far as to sneak over in the middle of the night to look into his bedroom (hoping he’d be in pajamas), and saw him still in a suit, Standing on Top of the Bed, eyes wide open and Smiling Brightly. (Gabriel has not gotten the hang of sleeping yet.) (The teenager refuses to go near the house ever again.)
- The short one, “Bee,” is consistently trailed by flies. This is alarming to everyone. They say that they're a “fly-keeper,” but people are pretty sure that's not a thing. Do they carry rotting meat around or something?
- Bee also seems to be constantly changing appearances. One day they have a buzz cut, the next day their hair goes to their mid-back. Their eyes are a different colour every time you see them. People have set up cameras to take pictures of them on different days, and upon comparing them they are Definitely almost 6 inches taller this week. Even their facial features shift.
- It gets to the point where people decide Jim must just have multiple partners, and be lying about it. (“Multiple partners that all look similar and are never seen together?” the opposition will point out. When asked if they have a better theory, they can never answer.)
- The two of them will have romantic moments Anywhere, including standing in the middle of the highway staring into each others eyes. By all rights they should have been run over, but in a bizarre coincidence every car in the area ran out of fuel and stopped moving at that exact moment. People want to blame Jim for it (he did make a strange hand movement, after all), but that would just be absurd.
- They use the absolute worst pet names for each other. A list of overheard ones is being recorded. “My rotten cabbage?” “My hell-bringer?” “Dearest packet of crisps??”
- You cannot let them notice that you're disgusted by their lovey-doveyness. They will either get exponentially more cringey, or straight up insult you until you run away crying. Or both.
- “Everyday” by Buddy Holly will be audible to the whole block at all times. Do they know other songs exist? Don't they get bored of this one?? Why is it so loud???
- There’s a statue of Jim in the front yard. Its 20 feet tall and definitely a HOA violation, but people are too scared to mention it. Both Bee and Jim will come out at different times and spend hours staring at it dreamily.
- People would hate them, but ever since they moved in the weather has been perfect, crime is at an all time low, and there’s little trucks that go around selling hot chocolate, and those things Probably cant be because of them, but still...
- Plus, Jim doesn’t understand how money works at all, so he’ll give you $300 for a bag of chips. It's endearing, even if he is sometimes a jerk.
- Bee does seem to know how money works, but they’ll frequently pay even more than Jim, especially if the person seems overworked and the place is under-staffed. They say they have experience with it.
- After a month of them living there, most of the neighborhood is in a group chat created to discuss the two of them. Beelzebub is secretly in the chat, and reads their favourite theories to Gabriel.
- A rumour starts going around that they're an angel and a demon in disguise, but no one can agree which one is which.
- Beelzebub is the one who started the rumour.
Breakup was so traumatic it had Crowley driving the speed limit
ID: Close up of Nandor in the foreground, facing the viewer. Behind him is a full body of the Djinn leaning back against Nandor's coffin, one leg propped up, one hand in his pocket, and the other hand casually twirling his pen in the air. Djinn smirks, looking up at Nandor, and has a speech bubble containing a Tumblr post by disgustinggf that says "ruining your life all by yourself, beautiful?" Nandor flicks his eyes toward the Djinn in surprise as he speaks, grimacing. /End ID
i’m just incredibly over how whenever a woman makes a movie about women it gets picked over to hell and back and men hate it because they hate women and women hate it because it didn’t Do Feminism Perfectly Right and queer people on tumblr hate it because it’s about a straight woman and republicans hate it because it’s furthering the woke agenda and everybody and their fucking father has to write a goddamn think piece about it. and then a man makes a movie about a man and it’s just a movie. it’s just another movie that came out on a friday during some month of the year. and usually the man’s movie is a little misogynistic but no one really criticizes that because well he’s a man we can’t expect better from him haha isn’t it so silly when those male directors hate women!! but then the female director literally gets her every decision analyzed by everyone for the next month not even counting all the criticism and analyzing that was done during the lead up to her movie. and then we all have to pretend like it’s not horrifically misogynistic to level all that extra criticism onto women who make movies and then just let the men go do whatever. like i’m sooo sick of it i’m so sick of it! and god forbid someone like me log on to whatever social media platform and say hey don’t you guys think you’re being too critical? because then WE’RE the bad guy for hating perfect intersectional feminism i guess. like i’m so deeply deeply sick of this are you all not sick of this.
ok this is the last you’ll hear from me on the topic because like i’m over it. this post is not a “let people enjoy things it’s not that deep” post. this is a post about how criticizing every big movie that a woman was allowed to make (barbie, wonder woman, captain marvel. i’m talking about blockbusters here i was never talking about all movies. people don’t do this with niche indies). and then not criticizing male directors for their insane misogyny in similarly popular movies. this post was about how i have had to see a hundred tiktoks saying that barbie was “white feminism” “basic feminism 101” “did intersectionality wrong” etc. and then having to see a hundred tumblr posts saying the same shit but more condescending because tumblr is the website for people who understand feminism but hate femininity. and EYE. made a post (untagged!!!) about how it’s frustrating to see all of this and then also immediately have to see the same people jokingly saying shit like “yeah christopher nolan fucking hates women but i’m gonna watch his new movie anyway because men in his movies are gay haha” (<- guy who’s ignoring how men in his movies seem gay because christopher nolan hates women and won’t portray them equally). also frankly i think everyone on this post saying shit like yeah guys it’s Just A Movie it’s Stupid it’s Silly it’s just a stupid movie. you people suck no it’s not just a movie is never just a movie and equating barbie with stupidity makes you look annoying as hell like are you my dad. in conclusion, this post was never meant to get more than 10 notes. peace and love
A lot of you are fans of “reparative readings” but specifically with works by white men, and resort to the most paranoid reading possible when it comes to women creators
