Environmental movie about an alien invasion, but there is no dramatic moment of some white guy yelling that we terraformed the planet to fit their species perfectly, no heavy handed speech at the end with (insert world leader) giving a lecture waving their finger at the general population that we need to do better.

Instead, the aliens win. The entire population is wiped off the face of the planet, aliens use their tech to clear out the garbage, and they leave. The ending is a montage of the planet with no humans. All captive animals have been released in the wild (which I know most wouldn't survive but roll with it) we get to watch as plants and wildlife overtake towns and cities, plants in greenhouse and mass Indore farms die off, but after the building crumbles around them their seeds are exposed to sunlight and rainfall and new growth begins. Plants do the job of cleaning up the atmosphere by converting all the excess carbon in the air, and are able to completely do so without more being added, and the movie end with a planet free of humans, and that's it. No over the top message or speech or scrolling text, just how the planet would heal without us.

So I was GOING to make a post comparing Mother Goose to The Untitled Goose Game, but as it turns out, Mother Goose is a PERSON! Seriously, wtf? The only thing I've ever seen on Mother Goose books is a goose in a bonnet, but apparently she's called that because she rides a goose. Am I the only one who thought she was a fucking goose?

Why is it whenever there's a scene in a movie or TV show that cuts to somewhere fancy, like a ball or some rich people art show or auction, it almost always cuts to Vivaldi's Spring? There are seriously a gazillion classical compositions, why do so many movies use Spring? And don't get me wrong, I love Vivaldi, but what is up? It's not as if other classical composers aren't in the public domain or hard to get your hands on. Is it that people know Spring? Is this one piece just turning into audio shorthand for fancy and rich? What is happening?

So, on Bones they always have Angela recreate victims' faces based on the bone structure of their skull, buy it would be stupid expensive and kinda pointless to recreate the skull of the random actor they got to play the dead person, which makes me wonder two things:

How many times do you think they reused the same skeletons?

What does the actual face look like?

Have you ever noticed that when people talk about siblings they always put them in birth order? Like, not just listing them all, but even if they're talking about the 2nd sibling and the 5th it's always 2, 5, never 5, 2. I'll use the Weasleys as an example.

Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, obviously if you're listing all siblings you'll go in birth order, but without listing all of them, you still go in order, Fred is older, so Fred and George, and, George and Fred, sounds weird, but sure, that's how they're always listed in the book, but, knowing the family, what sounds more natural? Ginny and George, or George and Ginny? George is older, so he goes first, it's like the stupidest little quirk, and yet we all seem to do it, how weird is that?

So fairy rings are formed by a certain type of fungus feeding on decaying organic matter, right? So can we get a story about some 16th century serial killer who started spreading word that those weird rings of mushrooms were caused by fairies so that no one would disturb the dead bodies buried in them?

New kid's show idea

So, basic superhero vs supervillain setup, the villain uses all the usual cartoon logic and generally believed myths for their evil schemes, and the hero just beats them via science, like bad guy over here trying to charm snakes to do their bidding and then the hero just feeds them and the snakes go take a nap in the sun because snake charmers are just taunting hungry snakes.

Bad guy tries using chameleon powers to camouflage and turn invisible, flat doesn't work because that's not why chameleons change color, it's based on temperature and their mood and the only place this could help them blend in is a sad clown convention.

Bad guy tries to drill to the center of the Earth to use molten lava for evil scheme, hero just leaves them be, because there's a 99% this problem takes care of itself, and the remaining 1% is a pretty damn impressive achievement NGL and they wanna see if it works.

Bad guy tries hypnotizing the hero into being evil, but again, that's not how it works, and the kind of brainwashing that has the potential to do so has some genuinely horrifying real life stories and is no longer kid friendly.

Basically anything to do with magnets, except it's the one time they ever do any damage because instead of picking up a city or sumn they made an EMP that wipes out the power and murders electronics, and that kills all the plans because all of the bad guy's gadgets are now kaput.

I feel like this story belongs on tumblr.

So, I work at a hotel, when checking someone in we have to ask if they've got pets with them because we have a pet fee, and the joke that absolutely everyone makes is, "No, unless you count my (wife, husband, children, friend, ect.)"

I resist the urge to roll my eyes and make the joke, "Oh, well, we won't charge you a fee for that," then move on from there.

What I was thoroughly NOT prepared for was for this one lady to respond to that, "Even though she likes dressing up in those furry costumes."

I have never been so grateful for someone to have remained IN the car, then I just had to keep a straight face and go about the rest of my day like this woman HADN'T just casually outed her child as a fucking furry to some random hotel clerk, seriously, WTF?

MODERN MEDUSA AU

Okay, so you know how women viewed Medusa's "curse" as a gift from Athena to protect her because she couldn't punish the real guilty party (fucking Olympus boys' club) so she turned Medusa into a Gorgon, right?

Well, I want a modern au where, instead of hiding tragically in a cave until she's killed and used by ANOTHER man, she becomes a vigilante! Like sunglasses to control her gaze, a head wrap to hide her snakes, like, by night she goes out on the city, seeking justice and turning unrepentant rapists (especially ones who got away) into stone, then by day she's an artist and she sells the statues as art.

Someone notices that she's got all these statues of missing people, but she just waits until after they're reported missing before selling them, and says that she goes off of missing persons as part of the symbolism.

Victims are the first people she offers them to so she can give them the cathartic release of destroying them. Victims get them free, and if they don't want to smashy smash THEN she sells them

You think any of the antivaxers are just really big pussies about shots, so even though they know vaccines actually DO work, and don't cause autism or being gay or whatever, they act like that because they just don't want to get a shot, and don't get their kids shots because they actually stuck to the mindset of an 8 year old swearing they'd never make their kids get shots?

Okay, everyone always talks about humanity collectively pack bonding with the Mars Rovers, but am I the only one crying over some of the space probes they've sent out? Like, Carl Sagan had the idea to have Voyager 1 to turn around and take a photo of the Earth known as the pale blue dot, and not only that but it took a whole series of photos of the whole solar system BEFORE THEY TURNED OFF HER CAMERA!

They turned off the cameras to save power as it passed Neptune, the description I found when checking the names seriously described it as Voyager one taking one last look at home before closing it's eyes forever! How can you NOT cry about that?! She's so far away from home, and she's never coming back, and she closed her eyes so she can keep going for as long as possible, carrying humanity's messages to the stars, her mission is so hopeless, finding friends for humanity, telling them who we are! I seriously get misty eyed if I think about it for too long.
