Can I just say that I loved “Mercy of Gods” and “Faith of Beasts” by James S. A. Corey? I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. I might be a little bit obsessed. I need book 3 STAT

Steal from everything you love. watched a movie and thought "wow that scene hit different"? figure out why and use it. read a book where the banter made you kick your feet? study it. saw a tiktok that made you Feel Things? that's research. keep a notes app full of random lines you'll never use. screenshot tumblr posts at 4am for "inspiration." your influences should be obvious and chaotic. remix everything. that's not theft that's apprenticeship.

LOVE the juxtaposition of the hive presenting itself as truest human connection, but being assimilation, erasure of culture, literally grown in a lab vs all of carols beautifully imperfect connections with other humans. wife that loved her too much to say she found carols passion project "just fine". fan who crocheted ugly hats that carol kept. woman she got off on the wrong foot with and hates her forever now. teenage girl she gave ignored advice to. man she morally opposes who makes her breakfast and cringes when she suggests she stick around. man who traveled 9000km to talk with her in languages learned from book-on-tape and high-school class. messy clumsy organic human connection.

sorry but I actually do love that pluribus is “slow” I love that it lingers a bit too long and makes you watch characters walk all the way across rooms and load things into their cars and listen to entire voicemails I love that a 50 minute episode might have a few dozen lines of dialogue I love that it’s nearly impossible for it to be a “second screen” show maybe I love slow!!!!!!!

As I understand it (thanks to my big-brained friend sam notedchampagne ily sam) one of the main things this show is trying to communicate is the real cost that everything we see done has. Work, time, effort, coordination - when the hive is getting Carol her 'pirate lady', we see her walk to the platform, we are made to consider the expertise it takes to make a plane work by seeing every turbine turn on; we see the plane take off, we see her arrive at the airport, we see her take a shower, we see the multiple people preparing her outfit and hair, we see her get dressed. When Carol asks for her supermarket back, we see the trucks, we see the dozen or so people putting it back together, we see the clock tick up an hour or so. Pluribus is slow specifically because it wants to make you sit with that, and thus understand what it means you see the characters engaging with the hive and asking it for things.

To Carol, the other humans, and the viewer, it may seem like the hive are miracle-workers. But they're not. Every single thing they do requires tangible effort and resources. And all of it has a cost.
