Hey…. Hey… Characters covered in blood, okay? You remember characters covered in blood?? You used to love characters covered in blood

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."

never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

i have a bunch of disgusting ideas if anyone's interested

[ceruleana]

project hail mary is a touching and poignant film that leaves you asking questions about humanity like, "wow what if all mainstream media was genuinely good" and "what if book adaptions actually gave a shit about the book in question" and "what if studios hired actors that could actually act, and then let them get a lil wacky with it"

hilarious how grace is wandering around that aircraft carrier thinking i'm just a guy. meanwhile his security clearance is technically on the same level as the actual eva stratt herself

[manyblinkinglights]

#phm#in the book he's like#'my office is technically a storage closet. they're gonna kick me out of here when we resupply. i'm about as important as toilet paper.'#man you live on a boat. how many other people on the boat have an office at all.#you're the guy who looks at the paperwork and signs shit that's not worth bothering stratt over#which you can choose to interpret as either not very important or VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.#you're the guy who says 'yeah i think this plan is scientifically feasible'#to which stratt says 'okay my pet scientist says it'll work‚ let's go ahead and pave the sahara.'

ngl I like to think about whether or not Cuocuo is Feng Xin's biologically

Jian Lan was still 'young and beautiful' when she dumped Feng Xin. And yet even without her makeup, as a ghost, she has wrinkles. She's old. Now she could technically be aging as a ghost; Hua Cheng is described as 'looking in his 20s' in his true form when we know he died before age 19, and his Wu Ming appearance seems more in line with his San Lang skin, which we know definitely looks younger than Hua Cheng's true form. But that's only a few years' difference.

Jian Lan told Xie Lian that when Feng Xin would buy her, he wouldn't even do anything, he'd just pull up a chair and talk.

No matter what, they are considered married in canon. Jian Lan is referred to as Feng Xin's wife even factually by the narrative and neither he nor Jian Lan ever deny it. And clearly until Jian Lan dumps him, Feng Xin had all intentions of buying her and marrying her outright. That's why she dumped him; he was running himself ragged trying to do that, and she didn't want to see him dragged down to her level. So because they're seen as married, legally no matter what, Cuocuo is his son.

And in terms of hints that he is his biological son, Cuocuo does bite Feng Xin more than anyone as if holding resentment for his father, and near the end of the story, when Feng Xin calls for him he listens and obeys like a son and cheers his dad on.

I like thinking about it. Canon evidence points either way. So you can have the nice idea that even if they couldn't be together, there's proof their love was real and Jian Lan fully intended to raise the last bit of him he left behind with her other than the golden belt.

But then there's also this idea that the baby was an accident not even by Feng Xin's hand, years after he was dumped, but their love was still so real even all those years later that his golden belt kept her tethered to the mortal realm, and that he'd still immediately feel that any child of hers was a child of his.
