juno steel and hyperion city. bloody, broken, violent, uncouth, hopeless. so dearly loved. and trying hard to be better every single day.

juno loves hyperion, and he hates hyperion. it is his home and it is slowly crushing the life out of him. he stubbornly refuses to leave it because he needs to believe he can change it for the better, and because he believes he doesn't deserve anywhere better. to reinvent himself as a better, healthier person he must leave it behind, with no real hope of returning, without looking back; and at the very end of the story it is the place he at last returns to, both still messy and damaged, but filled with new certainty and hope of a better future.

a detective and his city.

Welllll- @thatwasfunnypleaselaugh

Hyperion City Talks Back is a series of two fics, there is supposed to be a third but for various reasons... I have not written it yet lol. But it is almost exactly as i said in my original tags. It's kinda sorta along the lines of juno steel loves hyperion and hyperion city loves juno and she really truly thinks he's the best thing in her whole existence. They are a codependent mess and neither knows what they'd do without their lucky lady. "The weight of an entire city's love on the back of a single lady."

cool. another black child died in a hate crime

South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen | CNN

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

[rabbitkinglune777]

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

[puppygirllaika]

For anyone reading the headline and not the article: While the prosecution claims the store owner incorrectly believed the black child in question (Cyrus Carmack-Belton) had shoplifted a few bottles of water (no evidence of this supposed shoplifting was found), and the defense claims that the child had threatened the store owners son with a gun (no evidence of Cyrus using the gun or threatening anyone was found), either way the store owner chased the child down the street more than 130 yards, and shot him in the back as he ran away. He chased a black child down the street, and shot him in the back.

Cyrus would have started high school at the end of that summer. He would have been 17 today. He wanted to be a tattoo artist.

What if we win?

What if the children go to schools unafraid of tear gas and bullets?

What if the birds come back, and the bees are healed, and every species moves from endangered, to threatened, to thriving?

What if the rainforest ADVANCES?

What if every parking lot had solar panels? What if every structure had solar panels? What if we built climbing gyms and terraced gardens in the skeletons of old coal power plants?

What if you baked your neighbor bread, and they shared their home-grown blackberries?

What if every person who needed a home, had one? What if every person who needed healing was healed?

What if every body was treasured for what it was, not what it should be?

What if every trans child's parents attended their graduation, their wedding, their new-name-day?

What if every warehouse became a closed-circle repair station? Goods flowing out, and back, and out again? What if landfills started to SHRINK?

What if the water and air were clean? What if there was enough public transit that the cars dwindled, leaving the streets safe for kids on bikes, evening deer, midnight cats and foxes?

What if we win?

How would you win?

it has occurred to me, as I age, that most people did not spend their childhoods getting simplified breakdowns of class-action lawsuits explained to them over dinner at least once a week

[tanoraqui]

I ABSOLUTELY encourage people to keep reblogging and commenting on this with their own niche secondhand expertises from their parents’ careers

a little known fact about some dragons is that they are so warm not because they are full of fire but because they are full of love

[motherblackcap]

"there's no platonic explanation for this" oh so you think the characters are aplatonic too? how cool that we share the same headcanon! 😊 we should discuss—oh wait... you're just using that phrase because you can't see them as anything other than romantic ☹️ that should count as false advertising. don't get my hopes up like that again

hey, tag this with a food people get really upset about you not liking

[wlw-whump]

I'm a BIG fan of low ranking characters suddenly thrust into a position of authority they're unprepared for. a young princess, too far down the line of succession to merit any training, forced onto the throne when her whole family dies in one attack. a lowly technician on a team who finds themself the defacto leader when a mission goes wrong and every single person above them is captured or killed. a group of strangers comes together for survival, and the only person with any assertiveness gets assigned a leadership role, even though they have no special skills. do these characters rise to the challenge and lead their respective groups to victory? do they crash and burn under the pressure so hard no one ever trusts them again? do they massively restructure their whole society because any system that puts them in charge can't be doing things right?

shoutout to the words "overmorrow" and "ereyesterday". english losing these words was stupid. "the day after tomorrow" "the day before yesterday" clunky-ass constructions. revolting. i'm bringing overmorrow and ereyesterday back in my idiolect and there is nothing you can do about it

I also made a post about the good elements of the movie on my instagram, which are significantly fewer than the bad ones. I wanted to be fair.

[alatismeni-theitsa]

Splendid post! No wonder it gained so much traction on instagram.

I watched the movie myself (ahoy mates) and I gave it much less grace. I have some things to add.

For example, something I didn't like was that the guy speaking Greek was (accidentally, I think) made to look like a Barbarian to the foreign audience, even though he was the only ethnic Greek in the scene! Most viewers still don't understand or want to accept (because of his skin color) that this is how Greeks look.

Something else that seemed strange to me was that Helen had a twin (which meant she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the land!?!?), and that Menelaos gave her a scar as punishment. Menelaos, who, in the ancient text, took her back without hurting her, and the gods rewarded him for his restraint! So now we are adding more abuse against ancient Greek women. So feminist!

The scene with Argos' death was so brief and unimpactful that I felt NOTHING!!! The execution of this scene was a crime!!! 😭

The audio... Guys... the audio!! It was extremely loud! I have a half-deaf friend and his ears were in PAIN during the showing in a local IMAX cinema!

But maybe the biggest crime of it all was that it was bland and boring. I am the type of person who doesn't mind a whole helicopter landing over Troy for the metamodern flavor of it, IF it is set up correctly. I think a random helicopter would have improved Nolan's snoozefest, actually.

Even if we disregard all the Greek erasure and inaccuracies, this was Nolan's worst film to this day.
