Suing the difference in their atmosphere. Unfair. Friends should be able to touch each other. Should be illegal to prevent that from happening.

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?

I'm inconsolable over this animation.

Being able to draw older people as attractive without reducing or erasing the visual signs of aging, and in fact showing that they're attractive because of those signs, is an artistic skill that should be valued so much more. Honestly, it should earn you an immediate fortune because holy fuck is it a rare commodity. There are so many artists who seem to think attractiveness and aging exist in opposition to each other, so they smooth every wrinkle, erase every crease, and de-age the character until they're basically thirty with silver hair. But when an artist can look at crow's feet, smile lines, weathered skin, deep-set wrinkles, and all the little traces of a life well lived and say, "No, that's what makes them beautiful," that's a level of artistic observation and care I wish we celebrated more often.

Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games

Can you test for drift compatibility via improv comedy

[penny-anna]

They are piloting a Jaeger together in my imagination

[penny-anna]

#hate this. im in the shatterdome trying to coordinate my jaegers in the field fighting for the fate of humanity #and these two chuckleheads over here won’t stop doing bits on the open channel #they keep defeating kaiju with slapstick routines and its INFURIATING

yeah the worst part is it's actually working for them

[kyraneko]

And their Jaeger is called Nihilistic Singularity (because it's a point that doesn't matter.)

I finally got one of my besties to watch Project Hail Mary, because they're basically Rocky.

Nothing was more satisfying to hear them go "LIFE IS THE REASON THE ASTROPHAGE IS DYING" two seconds before Rocky goes "LIFE IS REASON"

[atomicmindz]

they're having a moment

There are certain semi-scientific myths I’m willing to entertain, like the idea that cats purr at a healing frequency. Is it true? IDFK. I like to press my ear to my cat’s side when she purrs anyway. Makes me feel better. Probably because I’m in proximity to something I love and not because of her purring frequency.

[byjove]

There are a bunch of studies that indicate owning cats may improve your overall health and slow cognitive decline in older people. Probably because they provide stress relief and emotional support as well as promoting healthy routines and positive responsibility. Or maybe it’s because they are magic and they purr at a healing frequency. Probably not. Maybe.

[byjove]

Ever notice how archetypal crazy old cat ladies are old as shit? The cats are keeping them alive. Probably not. Maybe.
