I go by SmilesThroughFandoms on Ao3. A blog for my stories and my own personal blog. I enjoy Lego Monkie Kid, Ace Attorney, Pokemon, Marvel, and all the Gay Stuff™️. I will post about anything and everything that I like, so if we share a common interest, sweet!
Hey guys! So the next chapter is being pushed back another week cause I’m experiencing ✨Mental Health Issues✨ (nothing to concerning, just my brain doing dumb brain things and I just need a couple days to bounce back) Sooooo here’s a final preview to tide you guys over! Enjoy!
“Do either of you have a computer I can plug this into?”
The old man leaned forward to get a better look at the piece of plastic while Sae-byeok tilted her head like a confused puppy. “What is it?” The old man asked.
“It’s-it’s a flash drive.” Gi-hun faltered for a moment.
“You mean that subscription service that let’s people rent out fancy cars for a night?” Sae-byeok asked.
“No, no. That’s FlashRide.” The old man corrected her. “I thought a flash drive was when a bunch of teenagers steal a car and take it for a spin.
Sae-byeok shook her head. “No, that's a Joy Ride. Isn’t Flash Drive that really, really old movie about illegal car racing and family?”
“No, that’s Fast and Furious. But I think you’re onto something! A flash drive is that really, really, really old movie about that one dance!”
“What one dance?”
“You know the one.”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking—”
“He means Flash Dance!” Gi-hun suddenly shouted, startling the other two. “He’s talking about the American movie Flash Dance, about a welder who works as a strip club dancer who wants to become a professional, accomplished dancer. A flash drive is piece of portable tech that allows people to move stuff off of one computer—like videos and music and other files—and moved to another computer!”
After getting over the shock of Gi-hun’s sudden outburst, and ignoring how he was red-faced and panting, Sae-byeok gently scooted closer to him to examine the flash drive herself. She didn’t take it out of the bag and Gi-hun held the bag tightly in his hands, but she could still see it. “So, this is basically ancient technology? From the past?”
Gi-hun exhales. With an air of melancholy, he nods, realizing that Sae-byeok is right. While common place in the twenty-first century, a flash drive was dead tech here in the thirty-first century. Something you see in museums or history books or those weird documentaries on the tv channel that says they talk about history but actually talk about alien conspiracies. If there was by some miracle, a way for Gi-hun to plug the flash drive into a computer and figure out what was on it, he didn’t know of one. And judging by how clueless the old man and Sae-byeok were, Gi-hun reasoned his one final message from his daughter was going to stay a mystery to him. For now at least.
Sae-byeok let the bag (and Gi-hun’s hands) drop back down into his lap. “It’s cute.”
“… Cute?”
“Yeah, cute. It’s all tiny and plastic and stuff, but it can still hold files like you said.”
“Don’t call my tech cute.” Gi-hun crossed his arms with an angry pout.
i wish people in fandom spaces wouldn't couch the (alleged) crimes of creators in such vague terms. "Gaiman is controversial right now" NO, Gaiman has been accused of rape by several women. "DC probably won't reprint a lot of 90s green lantern because Gerard Jones is problematic." NO, Gerard Jones was convicted of possession of child pornography. "controversial" and "problematic" do not accurately convey what is going on remotely and if anything play down what these people have done.
I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food
today our zoo had an annual 21+ day where there's beer n wine stands and no kids and it turns out when you remove the families from a zoo everyone left is lesbians
We as a fandom need to acknowledge that twelve year old Mabel Pines made a life-sized wax model of her Grunkle Stan, perfectly in his image, from scratch.
Unpopular opinion (maybe?): I think Inho would have a degree in Humanities not STEM, I don’t know why but I just don’t see him as a STEM guy.
If anything, I see Gihun as more of the STEM guy. Probably he’d have a degree in mechanical engineering given his mechanic background lol idk is that ignorant to say?
but then I think if Inho did do Humanities then he probably has a good understanding of the way systems work and he wouldn’t be orchestrating the squid games then… or maybe he’s just that evil idk
Hermes *literally two minutes into the play*: ok this is a tragedy, it's an old song and we're gonna sing it exactly like it's been sung before and it's tragic because that's how the song goes!
[ID: A Gravity Falls comic of Dipper and Mabel as young kids, colored in purple tones. Mabel, hugging a teddy bear, nervously tugs on Dipper's sleeve so he looks up from his book. She says, "Psst, Dipper can I tell you a secret? Remember when we were playing Super Spies today and Donny said I throw like a girl?" Mabel whispers into a surprised Dipper's ear. "The secret is...I am a girl!"
Dipper, looking curious, asks, "So you're...an undercover girl?" and Mabel grins widely, "Yes! Exactly!" Dipper puts his hands on Mabel's shoulders and says with a smile, " Thank you for telling me, Special Agent May-May." Mabel smiles back and salutes him, saying, "Of course, Commander Dip-Dop." End ID]
actually the idea that Dick, the eldest, the only one who ever wore the cowl long term, the only one who raised a Robin on his own, is also the only one who can successfully, perfectly replicate that barked ROBIN! in Bruce's voice? the only one who can pull that exact tone from the depths of his soul, to the point where his voice is identical, so identical that old Robins like Jason are obeying before their minds even realize their bodies are moving? that Dick is the only one, has always been the only one, who can channel Bruce's voice? can channel Batman himself? I am going feral
