recently rewatched alien: covenant and now i need kirsh to react to david 8’s ozymandias speech. just imagine the deadpan stare. full judgment mode activated. you can practically hear him loading one of his “how to parent a sociopath” lectures from his hard drives.

the project hail mary movie had already singlehandedly reignited my passion for scientific research, but the artemis ii mission made it even stronger. why did i ever give up on going to grad school??? fuck that. phd here i come, just like i’ve always dreamed

I've got a wip of Kyborg in my drafts thats been going for literal months, I wanna finish it but I have a feeling it will take more months. (I wanna post tftsd stuff but A-levels are kicking my butt)

Yasha Nydoorin being trans takes NOTHING away from her relationship with Beau. If you’ve got a problem with her being trans, you need to examine your own internalized biases against trans women. They can lesbians while Yasha is also trans. It’s not that big of a stretch

No bc like I want these on my future frount porch

Hopefully, it'll weird ppl out, and I'll be left the fuck alone at night

not to be that person, but i hope everyone understands that while the wga strike is going on, euphoria season three is definitely not going to be filming even if the scripts are fully completed.

sam levinson is the sole writer and director of the series. he doesn’t get to turn off his wga membership and be on set solely as a director during a strike because that’s not how the union works. the man cannot cross the picket line or he risks loosing his wga membership and never being able to work as a writer in the industry again.

so hope that the studios and union come to an agreement quickly and this doesn’t drag on through the whole summer!

she is no longer in pain... she can now have shrimp and libations with grandma and grandpa every night now. but i'm going to miss her so much...

What is Critical Role?

Oh Nonny. My dear, sweet Nonny. I hope you're buckled in 'cause I'm about to take you on one hell of a nerd ride. You ready? Let's go!

Critical Role is a show streamed on Twitch where a bunch of voice actors (Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Liam O'Brien, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Ashley Johnson, and Taliesin Jaffe) get together to play Dungeons and Dragons. The show itself started in 2015 but the [first] campaign had been going since two years prior, starting as a single session home game for Liam's birthday. Campaign 1 ran from March 2015 to Oct. 2017 and Campaign 2 ran from Jan 2018 to June 2021. Campaign 3 started this past Thursday (10/21).

Critical Role has since blown up, popularizing DnD in the process, and they're now on their third campaign (Campaign 2 ended in June of this year). They started a Kickstarter a few years ago to have an animated special of their first campaign, the Legend of Vox Machina with a 45-day length to reach their goal of $750,000. They reached over $1,000,000 within an hour. Critters go hard, dude.

I don't remember the details but, somehow, Amazon Prime Video got involved and picked up the show for two seasons (just to start). They've been working on it for easily over 2 years at this point and it premieres in February and I am PUMPED. I will be talking about it nonstop when the time comes, I'm warning you now. Sorry, not sorry.

In case you're curious, Campaign 1 is 115 episodes (roughly 373 hours) and Campaign 2 is 141 episodes (I can't find the run time but you can get the idea). There's a lot of lore and background but you don't necessarily need to watch either Campaigns 1 or 2 if you wanted to start C3 or if you wanted to watch the animated series. Most everything can be found on their Youtube channel, including additional background videos and all of their streamed content.

Apologies for the word vomit, Nonny. I'm sure this way more than you needed but I just really love CR and I tend to get wordy when I'm excited. If you've read this far, I hope I answered your question. And thanks for sticking around. Now, if you need me, I'll be finishing the C3 premiere. Thanks for stopping by, Nonny! 💙
