I paint things sometimes @liliputkalin - Tumblr Blog

Having rarepairs that won't have any people reacting to them is a good opportunity to teach my mind that its fine to have no engagement - i say through my teeth - this will teach me not to expect people commenting on my stuff and paying attention and teach me to enjoy things just for myself- as im howling and running into the walls

I loved when “Drift Compatible” entered pop lexicon cause we were in DESPERATE need for a way to platonically express “one of us to the other is as a limb to a body; we are a left and right feet of a dancer; we do not need to speak because any one word inspires an exchange of unspoken words that conveys a full conversation in which a mutual conclusion is determined in an instant”. Huge win for the QPRs out here

I also really love that the movie explicitly shows that drift compatibility can be any form of relationship. Two brothers, three brothers, husband and wife, father and son, two friends who have lost everything to the same enemy. It isn’t about the way you connect, it’s about the connection itself. And of course, that connection lets you put boots to asses and kill alien monsters together. Because the power of human connection can change the world or something.

eridians live for a very long time and im curious if they experience the passage of it differently. was the amount of time rocky was gone for considered to be long? it is in human standards. rocky seemed distraught by the separation - but there is also the layer of trauma from the loss of the crew, and all of that time spent alone.

im thinking about Rocky parting from Adrian - and gone longer than expected (due to eridians not knowing about relativity, loss of the crew). at what point did they start to wonder if rocky was making it back? did they start wondering at all? maybe it felt like months to them because of the nature of eridian life cycles.

i keep thinking about Adrian talking to Grace, and Grace explaining, in equivalents, how long his mission was, why the crew was so small, about the coma (and the idea of being paralyzed and unconscious for extended periods of time is distressing and unnatural to humans) being not only logistically efficient but psychologically necessary, how he was never supposed to go home, how much time feels different when you're alone and confused and scared.

Through all of it, Adrian is thinking of Rocky.

Through talking to Grace, in expressing his humanity, Adrian begins to understand the full extent of time Rocky spent in space.

Adrian feeling heart break. They make the dome as big as they can. They give this creature every one of its comforts it mentions in its stories, in passing, in confidence to Rocky. Fine tuning to its preferences. Doing everything they can to make it feel like the home they were taken from because its species was terrified and out of options. They do it for Grace, and they do it for Rocky.

Grace telling Adrian before Rocky that he was taken from his home without his consent. It comes up naturally in conversations about the fun and exciting challenges that arise in designing a habitat for the human. He brushes it off but Rocky was right about human biology so noisy and so telling.

I love the idea that Eridian’s have no concept of a “soul” the way humans do, and don’t really have a similar cultural touch point. Mostly bc I love the idea that Rocky learns the term “soulmate” and is now doing everything to reverse engineer how that can be possible between him and Grace.

Anyways after a cultural and theological rabbit hole that was less informative then he would like, Rocky finally asks Grace about it and Grace is like “well, Rock, I don’t think they exsist, it’s just a way for anxious humans to cope with the unknowns of life.” To which Rocky internally is like, Alright to I gotta figure out how to TWO people who don’t have souls can be soul mates. Got it

robotrocky

They get to Erid and Rocky is like “we are Soulmates and if you seperate us it would literally kill Grace. Who is already dying as we speak. And also it would be soooo culturally insensitive to all of humanity and thus the alien who helped save our stars. :/“

Some time later when Grace is more recovered he’s talking to some of his health team like “:) it’s nice you guys let me spend all this time with Rocky in my biodome despite all of the various things you likely need him for” the whole team is like”??? Uh yeah. Of course, We don’t want you to die???” and Grace is like haha what :) -> *medteam relays what Rocky said* -> “HE SAID WHAT.”

IM DYING

borkyno-deactivated20160330

have i told you guys about the time that i classically conditioned my kindergarten class

borkyno-deactivated20160330

I got like 4 anons asking about this so I guess I didn’t:

omg. okay, so basically, I was a “gifted kid” which was code for fucken nerd ass bitch, so i would constantly just stare off into space during class while everyone else was tryna figure out what the fuck our teacher was tryna say. Anyway, I was learning about chemistry and biology outside of school(i know what a fucking nerd amirite ladies), and my dad got me a book that talked about all these famous psychological experiments.

So chapter one was, would you have guessed it, Pavlov’s dog. I thought it my be fun to try something to that extent with my classmates. Now, keep in mind, being a nerdy ass brown kid in a school full of white ppl meant that I wasn’t exactly popular, and no one really talked to me in class or cared what I was doing.

Everyday, at 9:45 am, our teacher would announce that it was snacktime, and everyone would fucking sprint to their cubbies to grab their lunchboxes like it was the goddamn hunger games. Kindergarten kids didn’t really have a concept of time, so i used this to my advantage. At 9:45 as my teacher would walk up to announce snacktime, I would knock on my desk really quickly three times. It was rly subtle, and I wasn’t sure that it would work.

So after two or three weeks, I decided to have some fun. Thirty minutes after school began at like 8:30 or something, I tapped knocked on the desk. Half the class turned their heads and looked straight at the cubbies. 3 boys got up and were about to run to get their lunchbox. One girls stomach started growling REALLY loudly. The teacher had to take 5 minutes to get everyone to calm down and one kid started crying because he thought it was snacktime and he was so shocked and destroyed.

Realizing that I had basically dog trained the whole class, I burst out laughing so hard I fell out of my chair and cut my head on the tile floor and got sent home early because I was laughing so hard they thought I had a concussion or something. When I explained what happened to my dad he left the room, but I could hear him losing it in the hallway.

So everytime now that I learn about classical conditioning in my Neuroscience classes, I have to fight to keep a straight face

So my two married-with-kids coworkers started asking me when I was going to get married and have kids earlier. And when I politely told them I wasn’t planning on it and tried to change the subject (because like fuck am I coming out as aroace at work), proceeded to tell me I’d change my mind and be married in no time.

So I went, “You wanna bet?” Told them to pick a time frame and sum of money and we’d have a wager. And one of them took me up on it. I was expecting her to put down a tenner or so, but she put down TWO HUNDRED QUID on me getting romantically involved in the next three years.

I would feel bad about taking the bet, except that 1) if someone specifically tells you they’re not interested in something and you bet against that it’s really on your own head, and 2) if you say something and someone grins at you delightedly and goes “care to bet on that” you should be really really suspicious.
