Hello! I’m a Dispatch fan. I knew this was going to take over my life when the demo came out and I was right. I have the receipts to prove it, even

You may know me from posting headcanons and making AUs! I’m always up to talk about them or anything Dispatch related in comments, reblogs, private messages, or asks, so don’t be shy!

I’ve also written fanfic for Dispatch! Plenty of Robert angst because he’s my favorite character. While I have many ships, the only one I’ve written for is Flambert. My most popular fics are Accepting Warmth and It Won’t Be Like It Was

Currently, I’m writing:

- Nobody’s Soldier (deaged Robert and Janelle)

- a thousand fingerprints on the surfaces of who I am (a soul paint AU)

- Hold Me Close and I Won’t Leave (aka Reverse social distance AU) (Flambert where Robert and Flambae are cursed with pain if they’re too far apart)

- A Body For the People (one to be used by them) — (Robert having a poor relationship with sex)

Thanks for being here! I hope you enjoy your time :D

Okay, I kept seeing these cool poems on Instagram where it’s one sentence that gets blotted out to make shorter sentences that make the poem, and I wanted to make one!

Let me know if it’s shit now bc I really want to make more! This was so much fun! I started out with my sentence and made a bunch of mini-sentences that I sorted and pruned once I was done

Seeing way too much happiness in these Bloodymary AUs

I’m just saying, what if the Taemoa failed and the astrophage ate many stars, and Grace and Rocky rescue Simon while on their pursuit to fix what failed to do the first time around?

Grace is horrified to learn what Earth has come to with Eden and the coalition and executing criminals by sending them to the depths of blood oceans

Simon is going to have a lot of feelings towards his personal savior and the person that should have stopped those whole crises but didn’t (tried and failed, he learns)

And then the eldritch horrors come around because why would we only let the astrophage be the threat, hmmm?

[disnerd126]

I showed my friend Iron Lung last night and we talked a lot about how the movie has themes talking about the injustice of the criminal justice system and how we dehumanize and strip down criminals, especially ones where their crimes are more a product of their environment and less a reflection of who that person actually is.

Already an interesting conversation on it's own that deserves it's own essay, but I wanted to sorta copy and paste something I said to her in regards to how that parallels PHM in a way that I just SUPER latched onto.

Because Grace, like Simon, is seen as the most valuable asset but in a way that disregards his humanity. Simon is the person that will help gain resources to help the last of the human race, but it's because he's a criminal so if he dies in the sub who gives a shit. Grace is the scientist who knows the most about astrophage that will help the human race, but he also - from everyone else's point of view - has nothing to tie him to Earth so who gives a shit if we launch him into space. By neither of them meeting the ideal expectations of their societies, they're seen as valuable in a way that also makes them disposable. It's fine to sacrifice their lives for everyone elses because they're more valuable dying for a cause than living with the rest of us.

And what's also insane about the parallels is that most stories that touch on those themes often has it where dying for a cause is a GOOD thing. You're a hero if you die for a cause. Dying for a cause is beautiful, idealistic. In IL and PHM? Dying for a cause is a tragedy. Dying for cause is seen as murder and dehumanizing. Simon cries "you sent me down here to die and you don't even know my name?" Grace (in the book) cries "you're murdering me! don't send me to die, please!" And it's just so fascinating to me how both these movies say the same thing in different ways: that Grace and Simon didn't deserve this. Maybe it led them to confront themselves, their fears, and their flaws. But it should never have been at the expense of their own lives.

[emmasmoke8]

That “ideal expectations” part really hit me. Especially with Grace. Because, it’s like, Grace has no partner or children, so, obviously, he has no attachments to Earth

Even setting aside personal connections like friends, there is so much more to Earth to be attached to, like fog and beaches. Are those not enough of a connection to the planet? Why does Grace have to justify himself further? Why can’t “hey, I like the weather and scenery here” be enough? Why does Grace need someone specific to die with?
