when gerard way sings "the broken, the beaten, and the damned" and when kermit the frog sings "the lovers, the dreamers, and me" they're talking about the same people btw

Not me crying over the "Good Night Oppy" documentary on Prime.

I logged in to watch Good Omens and got completely sidetracked and now I'm having emotions over robots and Space. Again.

They engineers keep calling Opportunity "my child" and I'm 😭

Oh no. Well. I guess I'll be spending part of tomorrow crying as well, because there's no way I'm not watching that.

Listen. They played music to the rovers every "morning" to wake them up because it's a tradition to wake astronauts up with music.

And the way their voices all wobbled when they thought Spirit was dead and she came back to life listening to ABBA.

"So when you're near me, darling Can't you hear me, S.O.S.? The love you gave me Nothing else can save me, S.O.S."

I AM UNWELL.

The grief when Spirit died. Ugh. My heart.

They keep talking about Opportunity like she's human. Like her front arm had "arthritis" and her wobbly wheels and "losing her memory," and how she'd go to sleep and forget everything she'd achieved before, all of her science data and how she was still their perfect child and kept going, I'm--

"We hadn't seen her in 14 years and there she was."

The sandstorm just hit and I'm not okay.

The final song they played to her was "I'll be seeing you" sung by Billie Holiday which ends:

"I'll find you In the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you"

"Good night, Opportunity. Well done" 😭😭😭😭

Oh man 100/10. Ripped my heart out my chest and put it back in with faith in humanity restored. Fuck I love space robots and the humans who build them.

idc I love when people tag my posts with the most layered convoluted fandom nonsense I will never understand like "this is just like jumbo ferriswheel in season 5 with the cube reactor" yeah I bet. love you

i've rambled a lot about it before but as a disabled persson who gott sick later in life and lost their ability to do a hobby / passion almost entirely, i've internalized all those tumblr posts about like. "making art even if it looks bad" etc etc and its part of the reason we still draw. beccause we're a heavy perfectionist and we no longer have the energy ever to draw, and when we do we burn ourself out because of how much energy it takes now to do a full piece. our art has noticably stagnated since we got sick compared to before we were sick, and that's fine. it hurts a lot some days knowing my skills stagnated, that im probably stuck or going to improve slower than my peers, but its fine. i can never really word it. something something art was my passion and im happy that, even if i had to adjust to being sick, i can sstill make art.

i dont know how much sense im making, but losing the ability to draw for almost a year or two due to how sick i was was awful, and being able to finally come back from that is so special to me and i cherish my art so much more than i did and i just needed to get the words out there.

if a fat little girl punches her bullies straight in the nose that’s direct action and also a win for feminism
