Lost InThought

A mostly positive blog in an increasingly hopeless world.

The Eckville flower fields, the way they were in 2021, a year without drought. Sometimes you would see goldfinches and indigo buntings going from plant to plant, many kinds of butterflies sailing from one bloom to another and hear woodland birds like wood thrushes and scarlet tanagers singing from the woods along the edge, plus bluebirds and others singing from a tree here and there. In this there’s a house wren singing.

More from that day

It seems like Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have started working on their next movie together and I’m so back on my bullshit with these guys.

First Edgar and Simon both posted this to their separate instagram accounts.

Then Simon posted this a few months later. If you don’t know the song he attached to it, look it up. It’s very clear Simon chose it intentionally.

There’s no way to predict what it’s going to be about but I’ve heard whispers that it might lean more towards drama than their other works so I wouldn’t be surprised if it deals with mental health.

Both Simon and Nick have been very open about struggling with depression and trying to slowly kill themselves, Simon with alcohol and Nick with food, due to feeling isolated (Simon’s depression is more of a hormonal disorder while Nicks’s is a reaction to trauma and PTSD) which was why Gary was a depressed and suicidal alcoholic in The World’s End.

They’ve also been very open about their queerplatonic relationship that’s far deeper and more physical than a regular friendship.

By now most people know about them sharing a one-person bed for nine months out of necessity when they were young and they occasionally sleep and cuddle in bed for comfort even to this day. In his memoir Nick mentions several times that they like holding hands when they’re scared (like when a visit to a strip club with Tarantino turned dangerous or when they went ghost hunting together) or when they’re feeling cuddly but are out in polite society. When Nick’s mom died he collapsed on the floor of his hotel room crying and screaming for Simon who rushed in to hold him and it didn’t even occur to them that Nick was naked the whole time until afterwards. None of this ever bothered Simon’s wife because she trusted Simon wasn’t cheating on her with Nick, but Nick’s wife demanded they stop sharing beds after her and Nick got married. They did out of respect for her (though Simon visited Nick the night before the wedding so they could sleep together one last time) but the marriage only lasted five years and they got right back to it.

But they also had to acknowledge that while they’re each other’s biggest comfort they haven’t always been the best for each other when it came to coping with their mental health. They had to get better separately to be happy and healthy together later.

Simon especially has talked about how being part of the Mission Impossible franchise saved him because it surrounded him with people who knew how to help him overcome his alcohol addiction.

Seeing how both Simon and Nick likes to play roles that are adjacent to their own situations and Edgar very much encourages them to normalize talking about mental health as well as be ambassadors for non-sexual male intimacy I wouldn’t be surprised if they lean into that considering the post Simon made. Everything around that is a complete mystery tho.

Or maybe Simon just crash into a fence again 🤷

I say this with all love, but somehow even in photos where Ruckus' coat is the right length to make him reasonably dog-shaped, there's just Something about his energy that makes him feel very Creature to me, lol

looking for animal references on image searches has always kind of sucked but it's much worse after AI image generation technology has begun to actually past muster, which is why i always just go straight to inaturalist. can't recommend this highly enough. you get to both find out about niche species you've never even heard of and also see some really good photographs like this one

the celestial monarch (hypothymis coelestis) is a small passerine bird endemic to the philippines. they prefer lowland forest habitats, with logging being a primary threat to the species & their habitat. they are overall turquoise, with a white belly and a darker indigo chest and neck. females are slightly smaller than males, and have less intense coloration and shorter crests. males are known to raise their crest when agitated or excited, often seen in response to hearing other males’ calls or feeling threatened by a predator. celestial monarchs are members of the ‘monarch flycatcher’ (monarchidae) family and, like others of this family, lead a primarily insectivorous lifestyle. they are social birds often observed in mixed-species flocks including other monarch species as other similarly sized birds.
