Hannibal Season 3 begins!

Ya the appeal of Rose is she's so normal and human and unabashedly lower class. But also: -She barely flinched when surrounded by murderous dummies. -She dragged the guy who blew up her work into her home when he inexplicably turned up at her door. -She followed him down the block demanding answers when the plastic arm attacked. -She went to a stranger's home to find out more about him. -She fairly calmly pulled the fire alarm and directed people out while a (now headless) plastic copy of her boyfriend is attacking. -She just immediately accepts that the Doctor is an alien. (She answers awfully quickly, girly is into aliens lol) -She's taken to watch her planet burn and almost dies and just wants chips afterwards -She nearly dies by murderous alien ghosts and is down to do it as long as she goes out fighting with the Doctor. -She tells the Doctor to do what it takes to save the world without knowing the risk to herself. -She accepts a Dalek is about to kill her and tells the Doctor she wouldn't have missed it for the world. -She antagonizes that Dalek about not shooting her -She rips open the Tardis to look into her heart to get back to the Doctor -She becomes a time goddess to save the Doctor This girl is so normal and so fucking unhinged and not normal at the same time. When it comes to fight or flight response she has either none or fight. She's nineteen and just so chill with the concept she might die.

I love the paintball scene in the show, it gives us so much. But I need to speak my truth and that is:

This scene is SO much funnier in book-verse. For real. If you haven't read it, this is one scene I wish they'd kept more of in the show.

These two idiots think they've legitimately been shot and that they are actively in the process of dying in a way that only beings that have never actually been discorporated would.

They spend literally several minutes ON THE GROUND, Crowley propped against a statue and Aziraphale literally falls on his ass into a Rhododendron bush.

Not until Crowley realizes their 'blood' is not the right color and tastes it(because of course that's what one does when they think they're bleeding out) does he consider there may be something else going on. And after which he still CRAWLS over to share this newly discovered information with Bushziraphale.

time for me to review The Whole Bible. ready? ok. to be honest my favorite part of the gospels is Mark 8.22-26, when Jesus spits in some nice blind man's eyeballs and accidentally gives him cosmic consciousness. guy's just like "may i have a teaspoon of visual response to stimulus" and jesus is like "oh sure" and gives him God Vision. fuckin...ayahuasca sight that perceives the interconnectedness of all life. "oh is that not normal? does everyone not have that? nuts. ok try these eyes. are those more regular? great. maybe lie down by yourself for a while and please don't mention this to anyone"

My other favorite part of Mark is Mark 6, when Jesus comes back to Nazareth [to HELP, and TEACH, you're WELCOME, i imagine him saying loudly], and everyone's like "Well well well, look who's got alllll the big ideas now, that's Miriam's Yeshua, you remember, the carpenter's boy with all those brothers running around, the one whose sister married that Moshe from Kenneret, no that's the other sister you're thinking of, sweet girl, not married yet, I keep telling her you're not getting any younger, well anyway seems like he's Mister Miracle Man in the Big City now but I remember when he got so worked up arguing about whether moths have souls that he cried til he barfed. [loudly] Nice haircut Yeshuleh! Looks expensive!" and Jesus is so embarrassed that he literally can't do miracles

Tao having separation anxiety because of his Dad's death. Tao wanting to be a part of his friends' lives to the point where he comes off as clingy or nosy, because what if they're going through something life threatening. Tao who's afraid of drifting apart from his friends because he may lose them without being able to say goodbye. Tao who's afraid of falling to deep in love (romantically) with people because he saw how crushed his mother was when his dad died. Tao who just wants his friends to be happy and protected.

say I found something labeled uranium in my parent's basement...what do I do with that

So, if its not some wierd labeling joke and whatever you found actually contains uranium it is probably uraninite, which is uranium ore. If it's straight uranium you have other problems, such as various government agencies with indecipherable acronyms breaking down your door. Also the radiation and the cancer. But mostly the swat team.

Uraninite is radioactive above background levels, but not to the extent that uranium is. If it's in a little lead box, don't take it out and display it but its not dangerous to pull it out and have a look. Wash your hands after and don't grind it up and huff it, but its about on par with the radiation you would get from a commercial airlines flight. (I think, I haven't looked at the equivalents chart in a while) all told, uraninite is not the worst radioactive material to find in your basement, people get stuck with radon leaks all the time.

If it doesn't have a box, get it a box. Uraninite is a rock you can just pick up off the ground and you won't end up on a watch list for buying a mineral display box.

But also, ask your parents about the wierd shit in their basement first, because I would totally label my porn as a radioactive hazard before hiding it in the basement and forgetting about it.
