"jmart is so toxic!!" well if you and your partner were the two most suicidal people on earth while you were in charge of the international torment nexus and had radically different ideas of how to handle it i'd wager you wouldn't be terribly pleasant to each other either
I am once again NOT getting over how the Unknowing reveals each character's most core instincts by stripping away their rational understanding of context.
Strip away Tim's understanding of the situation, and you see that his anger is bone deep and insatiable. There is genuine hurt and righteous fury there, but he no longer cares where that fury is directed. There's a reason Elias called him a "rogue element."
Strip away Basira's understanding of the situation, and she immediately starts caculating how to function with little to no available info. She relies so heavily on her senses and her own judgement of simple *if x, then y* logic that she doesn't need to understand things in order to navigate them. And she knows this, which gives her the resolve to see it through without second-guessing herself, either.
Strip away Daisy's understanding of the situation, and she is left almost ferally defensive. She doesn't trust anything, and she is so accustomed to operating in situations wherein she has the undeniable upper hand that she is immediately set on the aggressive (akin to an animal attacking out of fear) when she is no longer certain of where she stands. You see a similar, if more subdued, version of this in her interview with Elias when she loses her advantage and starts making more and more desperate death threats the more certain she is that he has one over her.
Finally, Jon. Strip away Jon's understanding of the situation and you find underneath it all the same core that has been there since the beginning of s1: an insecure man who is frightened by the significance of the task placed on him. A man who is desperately searching for some guidance and help. A man who is so intrinsically willing to trust if only there isn't some exterior circumstance causing him to doubt.
Ophelia by the lumineers just came on shuffle.... You reference....... Also a very good song Ophelia haters dni
THIS IS TRUE #ME !!!!!!!!!
also yes.... the amount of people I see bashing on the Lumineers is saddening bc what did they do .. they make folk rock music for married adults who drink beer outside on a lawn chair and like death cab and tool ofc its not gonna appeal to the pop punk people I'm SORRY !!!!!!!!
Listen I understand why many people find Jon's paranoia thoughtless or even stupid. And I also get the people defending and justifying it (me included I'm a full time Jon defender). But in all the discussions about Jon's behaviour everyone seems to forget that no matter how irrational his actions may have seemed at the time, in the end he was literally right. One of his coworkers WAS an imposter. Someone in his close environment DID kill Gertrude. The world WAS out to get him specifically. Calm and rational reasoning be damned my man was spot on
Rocky on the trip back to Erid registering that Grace has defaulted to using he/him for him for sexism reasons and that they don't actually have to go by he/him. xe does some research on the human computer and spends several weeks cycling through different pronoun sets. starts switching so frequently Grace becomes convinced sie has started being difficult on purpose. after a while Grace is like omg will you just pick one and stick with it. Rocky is like okay i have decided. rock/rocks. rockself. Grace like well i can't argue with that.
#see the hill that I will die on is that if Andy weir was cooler rockey would use either they them or xe xir#you’re telling me cool middle school teacher Ryland grace is unfamiliar with the concept of fun new genders#absolutely not. his students have taught him about singular they them and neopronouns
Grace trying to explain to Rocky that they can be whatever they want to be and presenting a whole list of different pronoun options and Rocky (who has no concept of gender) being like 'why would I care about any of this'
Grace several years into their voyage, finally getting good enough at understanding Eridian to clock when Rocky has switched back to using the Neutral Tone for him, thereby implying that they are no longer friends: HEY??
well since nobody asked i think that rocky phm would love body horror movies and practical effects in general, the wetter and more saturated with nauseatingly biological sound effects the better + jerk off to them when grace isn't around also. follow me for more insightful thought provoking media analysis you won't get anywhere else.
One of my least favorite autistic experiences is probably putting in conscious effort to learn how to Behave Appropriately (not in the sense of Masking, just interacting with other people in general) and then watching a lot of other people, autistic or otherwise, simply not do that. Like oh we're just doing whatever now? You would have flayed me alive if I acted like that
At the function like oh sorry I didn't realize social skills were optional. Does this mean I can call you a fucking asshole? You're being an asshole rn. Just thought you should know
“A lot of marginalized people are put under unnecessary and biased scrutiny that means they will be punished for fallacious charges” and “posting about your pedo-incest fantasies loudly on a public forum violates terms of service so you have nobody to blame but yourself when you get banned.” Are two claims that need to coexist before we can do any kind of talk about internet censorship
