Like 99% reblogging fandom stuff I find interesting or noteworthy. Star Trek TOS was my first love.

So, I met an alien. He's a genius engineer. And if I can't understand what he's saying- PROJECT HAIL MARY (2026)  dir. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller

i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

I think my most compact and simplified view on all this is that tech ventures spent about a decade between 2011-2021 willfully bleeding money in order to assert themselves as Good Guy:tm: science visionaries who wanted to revolutionize day-to-day life with technology. They were rolling out reliable, easy, order-from-your-phone Uber rides that were cheaper than scammy taxis. They gave you Twitter as a public square where everyone could be heard, not just the elite. They gave you Netflix over clunky, corrupt cable packages. Google had the "don't be evil" motto (which is a hilarious thing to do away with, like, well we're evil now sorry :( )

Then for the last 5 years (huge interest rate hikes, tech stock drop-off scare in 2022, US regime change in 2025, blah blah blah) they snapped the trap and decided to activate the money machine, which is rampant enshittification and bleeding everyone dry with higher baseline costs and forced subscription costs and forcibly app-ifying every single thing (needs a login needs a credit card needs an id nees a ) and backing pretty far away from the "your good relatable buddy" tech CEO image. Like it's been the world's most blatant and annoying pig-butchering scheme.

But, they're also rolling out AI like we're still in that 2011-2021 era of "we're your buddies revolutionizing your life with wow-worthy technology." They're shoving AI under our noses going "remember when you LOVED new technology? you love this, right? you love this? you want this? you want this?" and they're not getting why so many people are bristling and do not trust a single word out of their mouths.

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

have never given even a passing glance to the predator/prey dynamic like it was never my thing. but let me tell you something. those comics exploring persistence hunter grace slowly trailing after rocky changed something in me,,,, rockys confidence that slowly becomes more and more strained,, huffing and puffing heat out of his vents,,, grace unintentionally scaring the shit out of rocky without even realizing it and being like Haha thats what you get for talking big. meanwhile rocky is like wwhat. Wwwhhatttt the fuuuuck was that

Rocky dumbing down his speech for Grace only reinforces the idea that Grace is a kid in the other Eridians eyes and multiple conversations are happening at once..

Eridian scientist: why did they send a baby to space?!

Rocky: Grace is not a baby. He’s a fully grown human and you all need to respect that-

At the same time another Eridian: the human is thirty!! Are you COMPLETELY sure he’s not a child? He’s barely coordinated!

Rocky: Grace is very sick!! Of course he’s not coordinated you fucking idiot-

ALSO at the same time: did you not think to teach him how to understand us properly?? Let alone communicate with us.

Rocky: he doesn’t have the vocal cords for most of our sounds!! And we were WORKING on him being able to understand proper speech but he’s delirious?! The fact he’s conscious is a miracle-

Grace who is visible stressed and half covering his ears but also trying to listen: what’s going on?? I can’t hear you guys it’s too loud- Rocky what’s going on?!

Rocky: apology apology other Eridians ask dumb dumb dumb questions, Rocky tell Grace later. Grace sleep now Rocky handle.

Grace just nods with bleary eyes and knocks out almost immediately, and the other Eridians are giving Rocky the equivalent of a raised eyebrow in unison.

IM LOSING IT EVERYONE ON THIS POST IS HILARIOUS idk why its on light mode

I subscribe to the belief that Rocky was not popular on Erid (except with Adrian, he was very popular with Adrian, Adrian loves their social outcast freak partner) and I think it is very funny to imagine how the rest of Erid reacts when their (apparently last surviving?? They sent over 20 eridians what the fuck happened??) saviour of their species is the guy they all thought would die first and he arrives on a whole new ship (where the fuck did he get that?? He's an engineer, did he build a new fucking ship up there??) and now he doesn't wear clothes anymore and is speaking overly simplified Eridian like a pebble and weirdest of all he has seemingly kidnapped a dying alien and is now demanding all of Erid fix the abominable leaky space blob or Rocky will withhold the cure for the universe
