I remember when I was younger, anytime I watched a movie where the characters have to kill a scary monster/alien, I always thought the act of killing it was intended to be part of the horror. Like there’s this amazing creature that we’ve never seen before, and maybe under different circumstances we could’ve coexisted with it, but it’s trying to attack you and you have to defend yourself, but by destroying it you also destroy the ability to ever understand it and that’s sad and is supposed to make you feel conflicted.

It was not until well into my adulthood that I realized most people do not have complicated feelings about movies where people have to kill a scary alien monster, nor is that necessarily meant to be part of the narrative (unless it very obviously is). They just want the scary thing to die because it’s scary. I don’t have a real conclusion to this I just started thinking about it for some reason.

2. Yeah. Duh.

When I was too young I saw the alien autopsy scene from Independence Day at a sleepover and completely lost it because I thought the protagonists were torturing the alien (did not realize it was dead) which inspired the epiphany that as we are now (and were then) humans writ large would consider alien contact an existential threat and respond with violence, thereby dooming ourselves through our unwillingness to believe that outsiders might approach with benign intentions.

It was a bit too big a thought for my small brain and inspired one hell of a crash out.

There's an xkcd for that :3

Side note: polonium-210 is a very dangerous isotope, however it "does not pose a radiation hazard when kept outside the body", as the alpha particle it emits have very little penetration power and cannot pierce even the outer layers of dead skin. It has still killed countless people, though, not because of children's rings, but because of tobacco. Polonium latches onto and concentrates in tobacco leaves, leading to heavy smokers being exposed to more radiation than survivors of the Chernobyl disaster.

It's always wild to me seeing comments about different toxins like this on information about random things in the past, but it's never discussed when it comes to cigarettes.

[stardustandtea]

Adding a relevant source on the polonium-210 in tobacco and how the industry tried to keep it quiet

comic ive been wanting to make for a while now! hope it resonates with people since i know my past intersex posts seem to have <3 being intersex and trying to figure out what gender im "allowed" to be has been an interesting journey but currently im learning to embrace being agenderfluid and having the potential to be anything i feel like no matter what body i have (something i havent seen talked about much through an intersex lens hence why i wanted to make a comic about it!)

Reading this article was pretty depressing btw, everyone’s going to therapy allegedly but the emotional cowardice of this as a concept lmfao

It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions
