DRAGON ACCOUNTANT

I'm an accounting student and I like cute things and happy stuff and sometimes I have cooking mishaps. Sometimes I decide to research polar bears at 3am. She/her.

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters (Paul Feig; 2016)

See the first trailer.

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

I have like zero interest in Ghostbusters as a franchise, but I’m gonna be in a theater opening weekend to see the new one and I’m bringing friends with me. All the trailer was were four distinct female characters talking, cracking jokes, being friends, and and saving the world. That whole trailer, I saw a guy for maybe two seconds, and it was Chris Hemsworth looking fine. He didn’t even speak. 

This must be what men feel like being advertised to ALL THE TIME.

Most unexpected beat: Marcus asking the tailor if it’s okay to show him a photo of the corpse and assuring him it won’t be graphic. He doesn’t get the screen time he should, but Jon Michael Hill works so hard to make Marcus’s kindness the quiet core of what drives him as a cop that I just want to recognize him for it.

Frankenstein in pop-culture: Ha ha! You fools! I have wrought life upon this monstrosity! It's alive! Bwhahahahaha!

Frankenstein in the book: *the necromancy equivalent of writing an essay at 4am then looking at the incomprehensible mess next day and screaming*

[phonecallfromgod]

What a look honestly

[kissingcullens]

I love Finn so much, and I love how thoughtfully and how beautifully John Boyega inhabits the role– He’s spoken in interviews about how he sees Finn as a much needed departure from overly assured, macho, hypermasculine heroes, and it’s SO visible in the movie– Finn is so vulnerable, so flawed, so human-   I love how he wears his emotions on his sleeve:   “Keep calm, keep calm…” “I am calm!” “I was talking to myself…” How both he and Rey look overwhelmed and terrified at the prospect of flying a ship- How he runs to save (what he thinks is) a poor girl being attacked and outnumbered by thieves  (let’s remember that Finn is unarmed and outnumbered too!!)   BUT then he turns right around and runs for his life when she runs after him with a weapon::: He’s BRAVE, but it’s bravery that’s tangible, not the Movie Hero’s insensate lack of fear. Finn is so funny, but he doesn’t have the zingy one-liners of a guy who has it all figured out-  Mostly he’s making witty observations or stating an ironic truth, or bantering with Rey or Han- He and Rey both feel so young and they relate like people– Finn may be attracted to her, but aside from wanting to impress her he never gives any indication- he doesn’t hit on her or make innuendos or act like a man is generally supposed to act in movies to prove he’s a DUDE- Finn just reacts with joy and excitement that he’s found such an awesome, badass friend— just look at the way he and Rey rush to compliment and gush over EACH OTHER after flying the Millenium Falcon for the first time.  He’s so not cool!! He should probably be shrugging and squaring his shoulders like “Oh yeah, that’s me: hero of the resistance, glad you could keep up…” if he wants to keep up the charade that he’s part of the Resistance, but he’s THRILLED and he forgets his Cool Guy persona and wants to gush and nerd out like a little kid, and tell Rey how cool she is, and say “No no, I only hit the target cuz you set me up for it!!” I’ve totally lost my train of thought, but yeah Finn is a wonderful character and I love him a lot

[ace-and-ranty]

You know, on that note

There’s something so FREAKING CHARMING about how he asks Rey if she has a cute boyfriend. I can’t put my finger in it! I don’t know why it utterly MELTS me, but it does. The way he’s like “Do you have a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend??” 

I can’t say why I adore that little detail so much, but I do

Alien: So you’re saying that human brains sometimes just… malfunction? And see threats that aren’t really there?

Human: Yeah basically?

Alien: And then the human keeps living and doing things anyways???

Human: Yup

Alien: Woahhhhhh. Woahhhhh. Humans are badass.

[fireandwonder]

Aliens would probably have fundamentally different responses to trauma than humans would,like- their brains. would be so fundamentally different. at a basic chemical and structural level we’d have to relearn everything, in this scenario the alien species is REALLY BAD at continuing to function with even a slightly impaired brain, and deals with it with LOTS OF BABIES, Oh yeah great grandpa died three years back when he got really surprised and WHAT DO YOU MEAN,THAT A HUMAN GOT STABBED THROUGH THE HEAD AND CONTINUED TO LIVE I DON’T BELIEVE YOU THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE, I bet they are all pregnant all the time and when they randomly die the baby eats their way out of the corpse, they are insectoid and look a lot like praying manti and they REALLY FREAK OUT THEIR HUMAN FRIENDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS, there is a sort of generational memory that happens which is how they managed to develop tech at all being so fragile, so when the creatures get depressed or homesick or manic and die it’s not like their human friends have lost them forever, except for how it sort of is, (via @songofsunset)

PLEASE IMAGINE THE FIRST TIME AN ALIEN HAS ONE OF THEIR HUMAN FRIENDS DIE

‘so hey, that was a great funeral, cool outfits, always glad to learn more about your culture and stuff. So, when is she coming back?’

‘She- she’s not coming back’

‘Yeah, not as Megan, but when is her replacement coming back?’

‘We’re- not hiring anyone new for a couple weeks???’

‘no no no, you’re not getting what I’m saying- I want to ask her about that book she lent me- can I keep it for another week or two, or does her new version want it back?’

The humans stare at the alien and just. slowly start to figure out what the alien is saying. The alien shuffles nervously, their six spindly legs making a skritching noise that echoes in the cold chapel. Finally, the kindest of the humans takes the alien aside and-

‘hey. so. Us humans don’t come back when we die. Not like you do.’

‘what? No, but you clearly talk about reincarnation, and-’

‘Those are just stories, Six. When humans die, we’re gone. We don’t come back.’

The alien laughs ‘No, see, cuz that would mean that- that would mean. That Megan- Megan is-’ The alien cuts off the hissing noise that is their equivalent of a sob. ‘I have to go.’

The alien spends a week in their spaceship, the only place they can send communication to their Mother. When they come back, their carapace is a glistening new shade of red, and they’ve ended up as a different gender. When the lab adviser asks them how they are feeling about Megan-

‘Megan? Oh, yes, my previous version was very fond of Megan.’ The alien cocks their head, like a particularly thoughtful bird. ‘I suppose that I regret her loss. She was a valuable member of the team.’

The lab adviser lets this be- they are aliens after all. But later, when lab hours are done, the adviser notices Six double and triple-checking all the lab equipment, especially- well. The accident that took Megan will never happen again.  

The book is never returned.

Now imagine the flip side: Sevan finds out his human friend is due to have a baby in six months. Six months! He asks, and finds that no, there’s no way to delay a human birth. In six months, a new version of his friend will emerge. Will they still like space operas? What about visiting that smoothie place in quadrant 6? Will they even still want to be friends? His friend asks him to be visit the baby, after it’s born. Of course, of course he will. It’s the least he can do. There’s always that vulnerable phase after birth when you haven’t got the hang of the new motor controls, and everyone needs a helping palp for the first few months.  The night he hears that the new baby has been born, he wails quietly and recites the qualities of his friend that he will miss the most. Three days later, he gathers his resolve and knocks on the hatch of his friend’s place. Strangely, the access panel hasn’t been lowered - rude. He’ll make sure that’s one of the first things changed. His friends partner opens the door and lets him in and there - there is his friend,looking tired but well, a miniature copy of herself held in her arms. Imagine his joy when he finds out that not only will he get to spend longer with his current friend, but there will be another friend to get to know!

I love sci-fi like this, where it’s less spaceships and lasers but more about people who are just so different to each other managing to get along and build a better future together anyway.

I mean I like the spaceships and lasers too but this stuff gives me some small hope for the future of humanity as a species.

While this was entertaining and all…  Seriously, that Six/Seven story would be…  Mindblowing as a movie or TV show, like a serious take on 3rd Rock From the Sun.

However…

You do realize how incredibly different the other animals on our planet are from us, right?  And our biologists have a pretty good handle on how they all work.  When we find new ones, they waste NO TIME learning all they can about them.  It isn’t long before we get a new article about the latest permutation of raccoon discovered (this is, of course, referencing this adorable little guy: http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2013/10/29/cute-pictures-baby-olinguito-found-in-colombia/ ).

How is an alien species supposed to be at all surprised at the biological habits of us?  Just a few months of study and they’d get the basics:

-Breathes a combination of Nitrogen and Oxygen, primarily needs the Oxygen. 

-Drinks Dihydrogen-Monoxide, apparently needs the entire chemical combination for body regulation. 

-Consumes other creatures on the planet, preferably the domesticated ones, but not the ones that dwell within the domicile with them (except in some regions).

-Consumes plant life as well; again, preferably domesticated ones.  All others are fuel for commodities.

–Well, these aren’t that different from us.  We need to breathe, eat and drink as well.  In fact, we drink the same compound!  They just call it “water” instead of “mub.”

-Comes in two genders for procreation, has mental faculty to accommodate the concept of gender range outside a binary spectrum and asexual existence, or just mate with as many willing partners at will.

–Oh, thank goodness.  I was getting concerned they wouldn’t be able to comprehend our twelve different genders and six castes apiece for each!

-Skin develops in multiple shades, hues and textures, each with their own benefits and drawbacks, somehow the one with the most drawbacks convinced the rest of the planet that it was the one in charge.

–Are you SURE they don’t have multiple genders?  And how did the frailest skin tone trick the rest of the species like that!?

-Female gender gives birth to smaller versions that grow up to have aspects that are similar to the mother and one of the males she mated with in the past revolutionary cycle.

–By the GODS!  Every single one of their females is a QUEEN!?  Even the pale ones!?  What do you mean “ESPECIALLY the pale ones!?”

-Despite fragility, prone to taking unnecessary risks in order to stimulate internal generation of narcotics, or to inspire a desire for aforementioned multiple-partner procreation (possibly while under the influence of internally generated narcotics).

-Willfully consumes substances that damage or otherwise harm the subject when internal narcotics are not capable of producing desired effects.

–Enough of this nonsense!  You clearly didn’t do your research properly!  Go back and do it again, but this time do it right!  There is no way any species would willingly endanger itself or poison itself…  Just for entertainment!

[songofsunset]

Oh believe me, I get that earth has a huge variety of life! (Actual praying mantises? They have five eyes, shed the front and back linings of their stomach when they molt, and smell through their butt. What the heck man this is ridiculous) And yeah, any species that could get into space would probably be capable of some pretty effective scientific research.

The problem here is cultural, not biological.

You can know ‘human reproduction works differently’, and even know the specifics of how it happens, and still not really understand what that means about what will happen when your friend dies or gives birth. Because this is a framework you’ve held onto your whole life and it literally didn’t even occur to you to question it. Of course they’d be coming back somehow, that’s just how it works!

And even after you start trying to question it, you just keep accidentally taking things for granted? You keep referring to people with children as a different gender than people without children, your brain just keeps grouping them that way and your single-father coworker is about ready to punch you.

And tbh, this is an entire species of aliens- of course there’s gonna be a huge variety in physical size and hues and local cultures, so finding that in humans shouldn’t be very shocking at all. I’m inclined to think that people will be people, even if they’re alien people, so they probably have their own variations of self-destructive behaviors, seemingly unproductive creative outlets, and useless social norms that still bring huge consequences when they are violated. That’s just part of how existence works.

For me, alien biology is interesting, but it’s the interaction between cultures that really fascinates me. It’s difficult enough when it’s just between multiple Terran cultures, with people who all have the same basic biology and fundamental experience of the world- imagine how much could go wrong with a whole other species!!!

Scooby Doo idea: Daphne Blake as the weird rich kid whose parents signed her up for a shit-ton of rich-kid extracurriculars like polo, fencing, and all of this other shit so they wouldn’t have to deal with her/bolster her college resume. She puts a lot of effort into actually being good at all these extra-curriculars bc she’s competing with all of her ~super successful and talented~ sisters for attention and ends up athletic as hell and socially stunted and like…really aggressive and competitive and never quite satisfied with anything she’s doing. The only other ‘High Society’ kid who can put up with her is Norville “Shaggy” Rogers —an anxious stoner with freaky strict parents whose only friend prior to Daphne was his equally anxious rescue dog—Daphne’s been beating up Shaggy’s bullies for years. Then there’s student council dweeb Fred Jones who’s always been groomed to be this ‘leader’ by his parents and is always pressured to go to these youth leadership things and stuff and yeah he’s pretty good at directing group projects, but really Fred’s kind of shy and more interested in engineering, forensics and maybe criminal justice and he’s been friends with this chick Velma Dinkley in engineering club who’s brilliant but she’s also tactless, awkward and very bitterly sarcastic to cover up for the fact that her book smarts far outweigh her social skills.

 So then there’s this mystery downtown and all five of them show up and there’s a mutual, “Oh hey it’s you: The weird kid from my school. What are you doing here?” and everyone goes around. Fred’s like, “Oh I knew the owners of this place and they said they might have to close down because of this ghost and I told Velma about it and Velma thinks we can get to the bottom of this.” And Shaggy’s like, “Scoob and I didn’t want to be home right now and we honestly didn’t know about the ghost but hey Daphne’s here so we feel safe enough to hang out and maybe Scoob can sniff out some clues or something.” And then everyone turns and looks at Daphne and Daphne’s just like, “I want to fight a fucking ghost.”
