I think making character playlists is good for you and connected to analysis skills in a very fun way and low investment way. I know its seen as quite trivial but to me it operates the same way looking at a lot of art builds ur skills passively. Yummy enrichment activity
on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport the first person on the moon went there by accident and promptly died. The next dozen or so people also went by accident, and also died. Number 14 figured out that people who go to the moon die and very cleverly brought a sword and six weeks of travel rations. This did not help.
No one on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport ever figured out why people die in space because they don’t need airplanes and never found it particularly interesting to climb tall mountains. Astronomers use telescopes to take pictures of the ever-growing pile of corpses on the moon.
#this feels like a fable that would have some kind of moral but I’m not quite sure what#something about like hard work/effort/the need to be curious idk
the moral of the story is that a breathable atmosphere is important to one’s general well-being
Gonna chill out the rest of May and then change my entire life in June. Possibly July if that doesn't work out. Certainly no later than September or October.
I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexivly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually
My headcanon is that Andrew is a 5 feet tall tank. Unmovable force. It's all in the chest and legs (and shoulders and arms). This little mofo is built like a brick and dense as a stone. He doesn't like to swim, because he just sinks. If he were taller, people would say he was built like a fridge, but alas he is only an ity brick. He is not Dorito shaped with a little waist, he is a rectangle so dense you won't be able to pick him up or move him (his ass is a scrumptious cake, though). His legs aren't long; he's all chest, so his center of gravity is firmly planted.
Even without muscle, he's just built like that. He's big boned, strong, build to last. The circumference of his thoracic cage is too stupendous to behold, he's built like an ox (pint size). If he didn't smoke, his lung capacity would put everyone to shame. It would almost be enough to make him buoyant (almost. he would still sink).
Also, he has small hands and feet. Not delicate, just small. More accurately, short, just like him. He doesn't care to have a complex about it (but Aaron does). Neil's hands have a whole knuckle on him, because he has pianist hands. But Andrew's palms are larger.
His facial features are unremarkable. Like in Nora's notes, he's not ugly, but just average. Symmetrical without poetry. Deep set eyes made for mistrust, strong brow offset by their blond color. Strong square jaw, not like Hollywood but like you would imagine on a lumberjack. Perfect for making the muscle twitch on your cheek when you bite on nothing. Also, smooth and blunt chin.
My mind (you do you) refuses to see him with tattoos and piercing or black nail polish, because otherwise he couldn't be mistaken for Aaron. I also think that Andrew wouldn't want to adorn himself, because he doesn't like people's eyes on him. He watches people like a hawk to protect his bubble, but he wants to be unremarkable. Not dismissed, exactly, but ignored. Left alone. He doesn't want people stare to snag on him and linger, it makes him feel like they are touching him, palming him with their mind's eye.
He's gay but straight passing. He's not flamboyant, doesn't want to be. He dresses all in black loose-ish clothes. Comfortable, not restraining. He doesn't want men to check him out : he does the chasing when he feels like it, not the other way around. He curates himself as a subject of desire, not an object.
He's a little speck of black on people's radar and he likes it like that. Being underestimated is how he gains the upper hand (that and being the first to strike).
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. I can't draw and he's haunting me (tiny ghost in the shadows, very spooky).
giggled at something and my coworker comes out of the break room and goes "I just heard like, a haunted child laugh... so weird." and I'm like okay so it was a normal regular alive adult laugh actually
Top 10 branches of science ranked by how bad it would suck to be killed by them (from best to worst)
Physics - probably the nicest just on the grounds of how fast that's gonna be. Like if you're a goner before any of the other sciences can get to you, you probably don't even have time to feel anything.
Biology - the most standard default way of dying. Most of the time it sucks but not badly enough to warrant you its own wikipedia page.
Geology - one of the oldest OG classics. Rock hits Og. Og is gone.
Psychology - slow tigers are chasing you.
Zoology - fast tigers are chasing you.
Sociology - idk me and the rest of the angry mob agree that you had it coming.
Chemistry - this is a hard one to place because there's a lot of variation. But anyhow you're getting undone on a cellular level.
