I just learned from a friend that I'm actually a really good height for pulling off a decent backflip. I'm about 5'4 and I guess it pays to have a lower center of gravity for these kinds of things?? I had absolutely no idea but I guess I should find a way to start acting on all this potential
Melatonin gummies ✅
Heat playing on my laptop ✅
I’ll probably feel sleepy at some point idk. In the meantime I can appreciate Neil
Arya watching a scary movie that's a little too scary and crawling into a sibling's bed for cuddles so that the zombies eat them first.
Arya, standing in the doorway of Robb and Jon's room, daring them to say anything about her crying and trembling. she is not scared!! she just wants Big Brother Protection Hugs. for reasons unrelated to the scary movie she watched last night. if either of them say anything she'll kill them.
from Interstellar, when Cooper says his goodbyes to Murph: "we're just there to be memories for our kids" // "once we're parents, we're just the ghosts of our children's futures"
hey nolan, what the fuck 😭
(but also what if he brings this energy into the odyssey)
The end of Interstellar came up in conversation and the fantasy it presents of a world in which the problems of climate change and ecological exploitation have apparently been solved. I love that movie with every fiber of my sappy, sentimental soul and it is so infuriatingly corny at so many points, which are all the more offensive because they work on me. “Nobody believed me, but I knew you’d come back.” “How?” “Because my dad promised me.” If I THINK about this line I have to excuse myself to find a Kleenex. Nolan plays me like a fiddle, it’s awful.
put out some Nolan Odyssey feelers in the family groupchat this afternoon -- my mom doesn't usually go in for super violent movies, but she did say she was excited because she was & is a dork about classics (affectionate) & that was a passion that she shared with my sister & me when we were younger.
meanwhile my sister and I will be going into this experience like *laughs in former military kid*
(not sure when I'm going to get to watch it, but hoping for next week)
I know The Odyssey is, let's be real, a pretty masculine story where a lot of the antagonists are women. It's about being a soldier & a husband & a father & a leader/ruler, etc etc. But honestly, when I think about this story, I think about my mom having to single-parent two children for two different six-month stints: once in 2006 and once in 2010.
This included, but was not limited to: adjusting to a new home; dealing with pest issues; shuttling us to & from school; helping with homework; keeping us fed; taking us to doctor's appointments; dealing with burgeoning adolescent hormones and angst (in my case); and somehow still finding time to read to us at night before bed – all on her own. When my dad came home after Deployment #2, we met him at the airport and everyone around us applauded the reunion. He was in uniform and all that "thank you for your service" stuff completely ignored everything that went on behind the scenes.
I am begging Nolan to not fuck it up with Penelope because in my own way, I know that story like the back of my hand. Nolan PLEASE lmao

I want the record to state I have never been this hard in my entire life
obviously men in movies and tv invented beating the shit out of each other so they could touch each other, but it was also invented so their buddies could try to prevent them from this pummeling by holding them back in a restraint that doubles as a loving embrace
characters whose philosophy is “if i cannot be wanted, i will be needed and if i cannot be needed, let me be used until there’s nothing left of me.” thank you for everyone’s attention. falls off stage and dies
They're almost a normal family here (Mom doing the heavy lifting with regard to raising the kid and Dad finding the kid's behavior hilarious, which, in fairness, it kind of is) 😂
but, as with all things Lannister, the family dynamic is slanted because of Cersei's paranoia, homophobia, and ruling vicariously through her son who doesn't know he's being manipulated 😭 which begs the question, is Jaime just laughing at Tommen's childishness or is he laughing at this and Cersei's everything
I'm still sent by Jaime's A+ parenting here
PHM means so much to me as a scientist because for once, a movie celebrates the wonder of science and human capability, of morality without throwing anyone (not even Stratt!!!) under the bus, it celebrates our ability to collaborate and come together when we need to, it celebrates teachers and scientists as people we can aspire to be like, it celebrates the love of learning and curiosity, and in a time where anti-intellectualism is so rampant, it's everything the world needs to remember that being smart and being passionate and being brave is what the world needs to grow
Finding someone that understands The Character™ the same way you do

<3 you got that right!
And truly the worst part about falling so deep into Ryan Gosling’s filmography because of Project Hail Mary is finding out that film bros were right about Drive (2011) and Blade Runner 2049 being peak cinema
Nothing will ever top the original Blade Runner for me, but I still love what Ryan Gosling brought to K as a noir hero. Quiet soulfulness & existential journeying my beloved
finding out that nux from mad max: fury road (2015) was 6’3” did 200 psychic damage to me. like what the fuck, man.
Ned and Cat got together when Edmure was like 10 which makes the potential dynamic between Edmure and Ned when Edmure’s older so funny
Edmure is all protective of his sister and doesn’t really like Ned while Ned still thinks of him as a weird child and can’t figure out how he should interact with him
Excited for the school year to end this week so I can spend my summertime doing the REAL work (thinking critically about little guys who I simultaneously want to study in a jar and punt across a field)
@littleredwritingcat look what you've done 😂
I enjoy following a director's journey & watching as much of their oeuvre as I can because then you start to see the patterns and thematic obsessions they can't let go of. David Lynch & twisted Americana; Guillermo del Toro and antifascism/monsters/parent-child relationships; Christopher Nolan and temporality; Scorsese and Catholic guilt; I could go on.
anyway I think I know what my thematic obsessions are because I literally finished writing a novel with all my favorite queer masculinity tropes, thought I was finished with that sort of exploration (especially now that I'm a year on T and much more secure in my sense of self), but now I'm starting this nonfiction project and somehow it's about the same exact things like alrighty I guess this will be the stuff that haunts my creative life I GUESS
