I keep seeing posts with Simon from Iron Lung and Grace from Project Hail Mary in situations together, and I always just assumed it was cause yaoi in space is cool and these two guys are the most recent space guys to put in a yaoi, but it just occured to me that they're actually in wildly similar situations contextually!!

Yeah, they're both guys in space, whatever whatever, but also! Grace is in a universe in which the stars are dying. And he's gotta figure out how to stop it. Simon is in a universe in which THE STARS ARE DEAD!! And he's gotta figure out why!! They were both sent on this mission against their will, they both end up being willing to sacrifice themselves, and yeah, they're both guys in space.

Basically, I just realized that a ship/AU that I thought was just cause handsome guys in space is actually cause reasons. And that's pretty cool!

No, I am correct, I assure you. The true monster's name in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is, in fact, Frankenstein.

I think there's a lot of unneccessary stigmas, at least in Western cultures, around aging. And not even passing into seniority or becoming elderly. Like, people ard weirded out about being in their thirties. Huh?? I've gotten the same statement-slash-questions from slightly younger friends eeevery birthday of mine for the last couple years, "whoa, that's scary," or "doesn't that scare you? Doesn't getting a year older scare you?"

And like... no?? I'm a whole year more mature and adult-looking and feeling than I've ever been?? I've experienced more than I ever have up to this point and less than I ever will beyond this point? All I have in front of and behind me is life??

I'm sooo excited to be in my mid 30s. I can't WAIT to be 50-something. I'm gonna make a grreat 70-year-old person. I wish it would come faster!

And oouu, but you're one year closer to dying, oooo, whatEVER! Let yourself be older. It is LITERALLY one of the things that you CANNOT avoid doing. So be proud of it.

Having an oven is like having a big toaster oven that can fit casseroles and turkeys in it :)
