Cornel seeing Mycroft
In the TV adaptation of Terra Ignota, Hobbes just wanders into the scene sometimes holding a book and telling Mycroft "Hey. You hear about this women's suffrage stuff? Fascinating. Anyway. I have a thought about fiber optics." and only Mycroft can see him.
concept: terra ignota in the style of dracula daily :)
Up to 17 chapters now.

I started off not knowing anything about what it would be and now I know slightly more!
There are like 8 or 9 chapters at the moment and Iāve been updating it at a decent clip right now.

tiny brain (normal conservatism): we must protect our civilization and the bases on which it rests - gender, religion, nationality
glowing brain (conservative conspiracy theories): a coterie of elite perverts and freemasons is conspiring to destroy our traditional values of gender, religion, and nationality
galaxy brain (terra ignota): a coterie of elite perverts is conspiring to destroy our traditional values of genderlessness, irreligion, and freemasonry
universe brain (terra ignota): a coterie of elites (who are you to judge their private behaviors) is collaborating to protect(!) our traditional values genderlessness, irreligion, and freemasonry. But not even their most powerful anonymous blogger can help them avoid this war.

This is the best Terra Ignota post I have seen.
Still love this so much
Theory about why TI book 4 is taking so long to come out
Maybe itās harder to get the five hive consortium to review the contents of the book and approve it *during wartime* because you have to literally drive copies around to everyone and SOMEONE didnāt make enough jeeps.
The Needlessly Limited Imagination of the Jurassic World Franchise
Jurassic Park/World movies seem to be written around a single theme: hubris, capitalism and fascination with dinosaurs lead us to create circumstances where large dangerous monsters wreak havoc and endanger us.
But the movies also keep inserting really fascinating elements that could be pursued to expand and draw out the narrative in fascinating directions, but which they donāt even bother pretending to pursue. I am going to discuss four:
1) Jeff Goldblum: man of science/doomsday cultist
Goldblumās characterās main throughline is using the veneer of science (chaos theory) to predict that things will go wrong. He usually turns out to be right. He is inordinately famous, in this universe, for a theoretical mathematician, especially one who could be replaced by a flowchart that says ādonāt do dinosaur thingsā and a copy of the legend of Icarus. So, what is going on with his fans? Are they just enchanted with Goldblum because of how dreamy he is like we are here in the real world? Or have his accurate prognostications produced a zeal and fervor among a core contingent of followers who herald him as a prophet of the end times. So, make a movie where he is reluctantly heading up a doomsday cult. His fans want to know how they can accelerate the dino-geddon, and he tries in vain to explain that heās a fatalist not actively promoting the death of humans.
2) Better Dino hybrids.
Since the very first movie, we knew that they had the technology to splice in frog genes into the Dinos. With unforeseen consequences. Subsequently theyāve been very excited to take one dinosaur, and another dinosaur, and cross breed them. Just stop. Stop mixing two different dinosaurs together. Thatās the most boring gene splicing you could do. In high school, I spliced pglo into some bacteria so that the bacteria glew in the dark and that was way more exciting than ānow this dinosaur has the claws of a different dinosaurā. Imagine if Greek mythological creatures were like āit has the head of a lion, the body of a tiger and the legs of a leopardā. No one would care. They arenāt even doing like, winged raptors or anything. So, hereās my proposal: DINO HUMAN HYBRIDS, OBVIOUSLY.
Splice that shit into humans. Some evil company took samples from the spitters, the raptors, the pterandons, and the ankylosaurus to create a black ops team of Dino-men.
How are there five movies and no Dino men?
3) civilization actually collapses
So, the Dinos get loose, commit to it. They breed, they wreck shit. It gets all mad max (mad rex? Rad rex?) and we are in some legend of the lost type setting. Rise of the planet of the dinosaurs. Society is crumbling, humans are trying to stick together. You canāt just keep making islands with dinos on them, if the whole theme is a Pandoraās box that you canāt keep shut. Maybe North America gets reclaimed by OG dinos but South America gets taken over by tactical dinos controlled by the former leader of a paramilitary organization. The protagonists are trying to figure out how to jumpstart civilization in a post Dino regime while General evil is trying to conquer the world atop a terrible thunder lizard.
4) fast forward to future
I know what youāre saying: we want to keep our famous cast in the films. But hear me out: you could have a movie with like 15 Bryce Dallas Howards in it, because the whole franchise is about cloning, so set it 2,000 years in the future and clone Chris Pratt and clone BDH are trying to escape from Human Island, the last refuge of humans. They were cloned by a future scientist because of the records of their success handling the especially vicious dinosaurs from JW:FK, and the hope that they would be able to save humanity. But of course, nature vs. nurture: clone Pratt doesnāt have the same personality, and clone Howard doesnāt have the same knowledge and skills. In fact, clone Howard winds up the badass tracker/trainer, and clone Pratt is the bleeding heart, and I donāt have the whole movie scripted but the point is it is way better than the screen writer finding out about saurophaganax and deciding that someone wants to crossbreed saurophaganax with a T. rex and make an amusement park where people pay to see it eat things but then it breaks free and eats people.

How many vampires do you think have been hit by a car backing up in a parking lot because the driver couldn't see their reflection
Iāve never considered it but youāre really shining light on whatās probably a very serious issue
I would really hope theyd notice a car coming toward them or else they are the worst apex predator ever.
this is also an extremely fucking valid point
if youāre reversing a car youāre meant to look around out the window, physically, with your body.
yeah iām just gonna stick my neck out the window where a vampire can get at it, great idea
Iām losing my fucking mind.
