CLIPPED WINGS PART 1

For my Bloody Mary reverse AU

[birdykane]

Made more bloodymary doodles!!

Had the thought of instead of Simon + Rocky finding Simon in space or on Erid, Adrian finding Simon, or just Grace finding Simon... What if it was just Rocky finding Simon? And due to the thousand ailments of Grace, he went back into a coma to try to preserve supplies?

AKA Simon gets saved by an alien rock thing, and the first human he sees in ??? is sleeping and he's yearning to one day meet him.

genuinely fucked up that if i want to interact with someone online i have to say words and have a conversation instead of just mashing my face against them like a cat

in spider-man 2 when spider-man is trying to stop the train from crashing, the first thing he tries is stopping the train with his feet pressed against the track, but all that does is break up the wood planks on the track without slowing the train down at all. when spider-man gets up to rethink his approach -- already exhausted and agonized from his fight with Doc Ock before he even blew out his knees on the tracks, dealing with his Aunt May getting evicted on top of his own poverty, having literally JUST pushed the woman he loves and who loves him away again, and now feeling the enormous pressure of the lives of everyone behind him being at stake unless he thinks fast --

an old man behind him says "You got any more bright ideas?" and there's a split second where spider-man just looks at him like this

most unrealistic part of PHM is that there is no way that dr. ryland grace, PhD, would not have a flock of suitors following him everywhere he goes. that man is like catnip for academic shut-ins, alien enthusiasts, odd women, and gay people everywhere, as this site has clearly demonstrated

now I’m NOT saying he should have had a partner on earth or whatever because I do think it’s awesome that he’s (implicitly at least) aro/ace/both, but it would have been a great aside to see the cloud of yearning that follows him everywhere which he either has to deal with or has decided to be permanently ignorant of. like the comedy potential of objectively the most fuckable man any of these strange science geeks have ever met being like oh um :) thanks for the coffee and the flowers and stuff and you guys are all so nice to me it’s great to work with you all :)

the devastation he would leave in his wake. like some sort of benevolent aroace whale floating serenely through an ocean of allo heartbreak. feigning ignorance because can you guys lock in we have alien microbes to study

[stargirl-and-potts]

Book canon supports this!! Dr. Lokken is definitely crushing on him and he’s completely baffled by her behavior. All the moms want to talk to him about their kids after school. Steve the security guy starts helping him with stuff for no reason. He’s had a girl bestie since college who meets him for dinner every week, Dimitri the Russian scientist agrees to go out for drinks with him immediately after meeting him, and the entire Hail Mary prime team requests him to handle their death plans because they like and trust him more than anyone else in leadership, and he’s just very taken aback by this.

I don’t know how many of those people would have dated him, but people like him. I think he was pretty unintentionally abrasive when he was younger, argumentative and reactive, and teaching softened him up and gave him playfulness and people skills he didn’t used to have. But he didn’t actually notice the change because he’s always just been being himself. He does think of himself as being good with kids, now, but not with people generally. So he doesn’t expect people to enjoy his company and it takes him a good while to notice when they do.

[stargirl-and-potts]

Anyway the fact that Rocky loves arguing and complaining and bluntness generally is perfect for Grace. Rocky can match him not just in sweetness and sincerity and sentimentality, but in fond rudeness too, with so much joy. He’ll always tell Grace exactly what he needs from him, and thinks of him. That’s exactly the kind of guy Grace needs to spend the rest of his life with. Grace can be all of himself with Rocky.

someone at work told me 'oh, just ask chat' when i raised a casual question and i asked what she meant and she said 'you know, chatgpt' like im an idiot. and i should get an award for the fact that i did not start snarling and biting and killing

[wordfather]

i know everyones justifiably mad right now but do you wanna get madder? i work at a school. a teacher said this to me.

[wordfather]

im glad this version of the post is making rounds now. the amount of casual ai use i see some teachers do these days is disgusting and they genuinly dont see the problem with making school assignments for children using chatgbt, and even encourage them to use it themselves. school is about teaching kids how to think and they're taking that away from them. this is a sickness and we should be calling it out more so people realize the damage they're doing

[wordfather]

i subbed a 7th grade class a few months ago and i gave them a written assignment and they had to use their textbook to find answers and weren't allowed to copy the text, they had to rewrite the answers in their own words. a simple thing i was taught as a kid. i banned the use of ipads and phones for the duration of the class.

50% of the kids couldn't find the many of the answers, even though they only had one chapter to read. the other 45% didnt know how to rewrite the answers in their own words. only 5% finished the assignment properly. they asked me repeatedly if they could ask chatgbt. almost all of their handwriting was on 1-4th grade levels. i struggled to read most of it.

this isnt their fault. the school system is failing them. the adults are failing them. 'we're evolving with the times' we are losing our ability to think for ourselves, and its all thanks to the system being set up. we should all be angry. why aren't we more angry
