((And I’m officially an educated writer hehe 🎓✌️))

[scar-talks-a-latte]

I’ve seen so many people say they ignored Dean being blonde and genuinely why??? He is such a blonde I fear. Grumpy, a little broody but not gloomy, just complicated. He has a blonde vibe and I stand by that. I can’t fully explain it but I know it to be true.

[ellymae078]

One of my irl friends just finished killer instinct and absolutely hated it and now does not want to finish the series and that’s just crazy to me 😔

[cassiehobbeslover]

so it can take 12-15 hours to run from denver to wyoming. am i incorporating this into a post bad blood fic im writing rn? yes!

[ellymae078]

Me obsessing over Google Maps for Blind Spot to make sure it is as geographically accurate as possible. And bc I’ve gotten this question- yes! Townsend Montana is a real place and not something I made up. Did I know this when I picked Montana as my setting? No! Let’s call it a happy accident.

RANK THE NATURALS! GO!

I fear this is may be controversial so let me start with I love all of them absolutely so much and this pains me to rank bc they’re all perfect but I’d have to say:

1. Michael

2. Lia

3. Cassie

4. Sloane

5. Dean

[ellymae078]

Lowkey wrote an outline of the like 4 couples from Naturals (Cassie/Dean, Michael/Lia, Sloane/Celine, Tanner/Ronnie) all doing the 36 question experiment bc Sloane is trying to see if she can scientifically explain why people love and tell me why it’s not half bad?? Like yeah it’s mostly straight fluff with just a little angst but

[cassiehobbeslover]

i love interacting with people older than me because they end up becoming like older siblings. like i’m 15 and one of my friends is 21

[ellymae078]

I hate the stigma that comes with gaps in friendships like yes I’m 21 but I have no younger siblings let me pass on my wisdom and advice 😭

[writing-chats]

the look of love (for writers)

"it's all in the eyes i was once told"

catching the stare of someone across a crowded room

subtle furrowing of eyebrows beyond a blank facade

coldness easing into warmth

a fond mothering gaze

corner of the lip nudged upward

forced glower/glare as they break underneath

batting their lashes, playful

a boisterous laugh

intrigue piercing the stoic

proud smugness at the other's success

lingering glances

a childish joy bursting through

pupils dilate

eyelids shut in a look of peace, calm and trust

look of longing/betrayal

"there was once a time when they were mine"

terseness

features fold into a scowl

an urgent flinching back

coldness returns (as though the warmth had never come)

lips part then purse

invasion of shock

slow stare at the floor

the ripple effect of a swallow

frustrated breath/sigh

bitter laugh in reminiscence

dread tearing through the seams of their composure

look of hatred

"darkness"

mean smirk- teeth bared grimace- scowl

dismissive gaze

gaze of contempt/impatience

threat lowering the voice

sardonic goading grins verging on manic

rolling one's eyes

flicker of irritation in the eyes

stares stubbornly ahead despite distraction

gritted teeth, clenched jaw

fierce biting remarks

even measured complexions betraying no thought

strangling oneself back from violence

utter apathy

murderous silence hanging in the stare

snobbish laughter

smiling at another's downfall

Project Hail Mary is the epitome of what I want in a movie on a craft level.

- Rocky was practical, as much as he could be

- no blue/green screen backgrounds

- a KILLER score

- stayed astonishingly accurate to the book

- I could see what the fuck was happening (praise the lighting department)

- Was accesible without talking down to their audience

This movie easily could have been a dumpster fire. Instead, the cast was allowed to riff with each other to create organic dynamics and PHM refused to box itself in. It had funny moments, happy moments, sad moments, thrilling moments.

They created a space for audiences to easily empathize with the situation, even if they don’t have a background in anything science.

Phm never once talked down to their audience, and created what will be the top film of 2026 by making it accessible and passionate. You dont need to know anything about space to enjoy the movie. They accounted for people who don’t. Anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk

[ellymae078]

I will be referencing tysm

[laurrelise]

love how so much of the phm fandom is very adamant about “yes rocky is endearing but do NOT forget that he is not grace’s little pet. he is a 200+ year old married supergenius alien engineer. he was literally smart enough to be sent on a mission to save his planet, help discover and create a method of communication with a completely alien species, and work WITH said species to find the reason his planet is dying and create the solution to saving it. stop babying him.” and everyone pretty much agrees

simultaneously, grace IS rocky and adrian’s pet and that’s 100% canon basically

[caravalxjurdan240]
