Your Majesty

Compared to what? The idea that you're the only intelligent species, on the only inhabitable planet, in a universe so full of planets that you don't even have a number to describe how many there are?

You bet! I’ve missed you’re incredible gifs :). Let us know if you’re taking requests again!

I am of course taking requests again! They might not get done quite as speedy as they used to, but I’ll try and get them done pretty quickly!

This interrogation is so damn bizarre, and I love that this scene literally gets Stinger’s redemption out of the way in 30 seconds (out of necessity, of course - there’s literally no time for anything else). It also perpetuates Jupiter Ascending’s dogged obsession with financial/material obligations.

[jupiterascendingheadcanons]

It’s also one of the best examples of the way the film subverts the traditional male narrative! The betrayal of a close and trusted friend is usually fodder for a ridiculous amount of manpain, due to the limitations of a hypermasculine environment where men aren’t allowed to work through their feelings in any way other than anger and violence.

Caine approaches Stinger with compassion and empathy, asks him to engage emotionally and explain himself, expresses understanding about why he did what he did, and then forgives him without turning it into a big, melodramatic deal. There’s no redemption arc for Stinger because one isn’t needed; he and Caine handle their feelings, both for each other and about the situation, in a mature, responsible way.

The utter lack of drama, the lack of any contrived “you betrayed me and now I can’t trust you until you make some grand dramatic gesture like sacrificing your life to save me” bullshit actively subverts the traditional masculine narrative. In thirty seconds, the film turns everything you’ve always been taught to expect from these two men on its head.

What a great way of looking at it! I totally concur - this is some brilliant meta.

Hey, are you still making JA gifs/open to requests? I love this blog so hope it's still going :).

I don’t know who you are or if you even still care about me but I’m back in the saddle (I think this must have been sent AGES ago though)

[jvpiterascending]

Do you do one shots or know any JA imagine blogs?

I’m assuming you mean fics (I don’t know what an imagine blog is though).

I’ve never written JA fanfic before but I could try if you’d like?

[jvpiterascending]

So it’s been approximately 900 years since I’ve been on this blog! I think I really overdid JA when I first got into it and kind of made myself sick on it (like when you eat too much of a food you love and then you can’t eat it for a while?) anyway, I’m becoming re-interested in JA again and figured I’d pop by and see if anyone even remembers I exist?

Also I’ve gained an astonishing amount of followers (any amount was seriously more than I was expecting) and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that follows me and reblogs and likes my gifs of this crazy movie we all love!

[jvpiterascending]

I think one of my favorite things to read in JA fanfiction is when Jupiter shows a book to literally any space being and they have no fucking clue what to do with it.

[jvpiterascending]

No but it seriously pisses me off more than anything when people delete my goddamned captions. I'm especially annoyed that someone deleted the caption off of my Milky Way photos so they can make it fit more into their fucking hipster ass blog. I PUT THE CAPTION ON THE POST BECAUSE IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE, and it's garbage that you removed my commentary.

[jvpiterascending]

So I know I’ve been a little absent from this blog lately but I wanted to share the pictures I took the other night! I drove 3.5 hours with a friend to get to Cherry Springs State Park, an International Dark Sky Park, to take pictures of the stars. You may be thinking, why the hell drive 4 hours when you can go to your back yard? Well you can’t get things like this in your back yard. Cherry Springs State Park is the darkest place on the entire east coast of the United States and because of this, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye, and at some times of the year, it’s so bright that it casts a shadow (which is utterly amazing). Anyway, what you’re looking at in these photos is actually the Milky Way (in the middles of the photos you’ll notice it is the cloudy looking area). This place was literally one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my entire life. Even if I wasn’t there to take pictures it would have been worth the drive there to see something so gorgeous and rare in this day and age. If you ever get a chance to go to any International Dark Sky Parks I highly suggest you take the time!

[jvpiterascending]

I’ve been practicing my astrophotography (a very annoying process to learn to be honest) and I finally managed to capture a picture that I really liked (despite the cloud cover that was quickly moving in as I took it) and I figured if anyone would appreciate the beauty of space and the stars, it would be the JA fandom.

[jvpiterascending]

Do you have one of Kalique saying "Excellent" from near the end of her scenes?

Posted! I had no idea how to fit other gifs around it so I just sort of only made the one gif of her saying “Excellent!” so I hope that’s okay!

Could we have Kalique's speech on time, please?
