I’ve never given this scene much thought beyond the fact that it was one of Maddie’s personal ‘inflection point’. I get that she felt incredibly small standing beside such unimaginably ancient object. I experienced something similar when I was in Angkor Wat. I felt impermanent and small, I wanted to touch every stone there. It was cathartic.

It’s not like nothing is matter all of a sudden and you can do whatever without giving a single thought about the consequences. It’s about realisation that the consequences of your mistakes would never be that everlasting, it’s all fleeting. And this moment must’ve made it less terrifying for Maddie to make the life changing decision to keep Dave. Because there is no right or wrong option. Whatever choice she made, she will still question it. Whether she would ponder if he would be better with adopted parents during the hardest times of her motherhood. Because every parent sometimes questions whether they’re good enough. Or whether she would think about him and miss him if she goes along with adoption. There’s always going to be “What if…”

But it had never come to my mind before Craig Silverstein addressed it in his interview, that this piece of cosmic body not only makes Maddie, we follow for the majority of the show, seem small. It makes Dyson God Maddie seem small too. A woman torn apart by indescribable amount of grief, who came unimaginable length to see her loved ones again. But after all she’s still Maddie Kim. And on top of that, it even makes Safe Surf, with all its power and knowledge, also seem small and impermanent. What is 43 million years compared to thousands of millions?

tashi duncan’s whole life revolves around the fact that she is both devoted and disciplined to tennis but she can no longer play tennis while art is disciplined but not devoted and patrick is devoted but not disciplined and both of those things are glaring weaknesses that disgust tashi but she has formatted her life in such a way that these are the two people who are really in it and she really can’t let go because she’s chasing the high of watching them play together that one time a decade ago where she realized that together they could almost be as devoted and disciplined to tennis as she is

my high school english teacher would often critique our literature analysis work by pointing out: "you're treating these characters like they're real people. They're not. They're characters". And it took me a long time to understand what he meant by that. Because I always thought "isn't that the point? That writers want to write characters to be so three dimensional that they act and feel like real people?" but that's not it.

Characters are tools a writer uses in service of a story. Of course characters can be written with depth to the point they feel real to us, but they exist in service of their narrative. Something real people aren't beholden to at all. When discussing characters, I think it's easy to accidentally see these characters as "real people" and not extensions of the author's beliefs. Tools for a narrative. Means of storytelling.

Let me dream

Self doubt and bad writing ensues past the break

Nothing is more terrifying than pursuing a dream that’s been hidden away for so long

A dream that’s been pushed down, tucked away. Ignored.

All for the sake of sensibility

I’m supposed to be smart

I’m supposed to be the kid who has the future figured out

I’m supposed to be

I’m so tired of it all, pretending I don’t want these things.

Tired of lying and holding this dream so close to the chest, that I ache when trying to pursue it.

Because saying I want it, reaching for it and doing it are two very different things.

I’m just afraid, that trying for this dream will show me that it was only a dream. Something that wasn’t meant to be a reality.

That I was better off in my head and pretending I didn’t want it.

I don’t know if I have the strength to do it. To be true to myself and charge into what I want.

I hope that I can move forward with my dream. That I won’t be so paralyzed by fear of failure that I don’t even try.

I needed somewhere to put my thoughts and I wanted them to be public and not hidden away. Because all I’ve done is hiding

"you can use ai to improve spelling and grammar"

[purgaytorysupremacy]

if you’re wondering why spellcheck and grammar check is worse now, it’s because they replaced it with AI! 🥰

now, instead of maintaining a comprehensive, nuanced, and human-maintained encyclopedia by which to check your document, they have switched to an AI that just compares what you’ve written to what other people write in, say, Google Docs, and use the most commonly used iteration.

ever have it change something like “all intents and purposes” to “all intensive purposes” or “should’ve” to “should of”? that’s why!

people make the same spelling and grammar mistakes so often, AI thinks that’s the way you say it because it is a PATTERN DETECTOR and cannot THINK let alone use language.
