ingloriousheist replied to your post:So I was at work today and the store speakers were...
That sounds like something that would happen in a magic realism universe where some well meaning millennial was trying to prove that both songs had the same mystical effect on like, ghost summoning. “See, you don’t have to listen to traditional music that doesn’t put you in the right summoning mood! The Killers is fine!”
This is basically what one of my coworkers said to me soon after I started working there. She was hooking her phone to the speakers and was like “yeah, the owner likes to play chill classical or new age instrumental stuff, but I think the spirits like things mixed up a bit” and then put on late 90s / early 2000s rock.
1. One Song: Come With Me Now by KONGOS, because it is upbeat dark and there is accordion.
2. Two Movies: The Princess Bride because it was a cornerstone of my childhood and Iron Man because it got me interested in Marvel.
3. Three Tv-Shows: Gravity Falls because I just enjoy watching it so verrrrrry much, Agent Carter because it’s a brilliant amalgam of buddy-cop, noir, and super-hero, and Last Week Tonight because Oliver manages to make me laugh while also fear for the future of the human race.
4. Four Video Games: Uh....if it’s games I’ve actually played, I’d have to choose Portal, Mario Kart, Mario Kart Wii (yes, it’s a different game), and...Lego Star Wars? If it’s games I’ve heard of, I’d choose Portal 2, Morrowind, Journey, and Hiveswap (even though it’s not released because I actually intend to play it unlike the other ones)
5. Five Foods: Clementines, chocolate pastries of almost any description, mozzarella, smoked salmon, and kale (it’s a good addition to a lot of stuff and doesn’t go bad as fast as spinach)
6. Six People to Tag: ingloriousheist, reallyssa, kotin, bringthegun, wordlessrage, eilonna
casually liveblogs all of sense8 into my moirail’s inbox
((Psa: I finished sense8. I’m probably not going to tag spoilers specifically much, so just block the whole tag.))
((I was only gonna put the good parts, but eh, most of it’s here. ))

Me: ohhhh yeah fuck this lady
Cassie: Nomi's mom?
Me: yeah
Me: so when in the timeline did that scene happen?
Cassie: And which scene?
Me: the hospital one
Cassie: That's happening now.
Cassie: She fell of the bike during Pride, remember? So now she's in the hospital.
Cassie: Everything's chronological unless it's a flashback, and the flashbacks are pretty obvious.
Me: i couldn't tell when that happened because it looked like it was in response to the lady killing herself..
Me: and we've seen her after that ?
Me: so yeah confused
Me: that happened after the pride and fuck you mom speech?
Cassie: Yep!
Me: nice
Cassie: And she thought of Angelica (who killed herself) because she made eye contact with Jonas right before passing out, and Jonas was the one encouraging her to kill herself.
Me: ahhhh okay
Me: i missed that
Me: also this wedding dance off is interesting
Me: well that ended in the best way. i think?
Me: lito and the chick
Me: go martha jones!
Cassie: Bollywood, man.
Cassie: And the whole Lito, Hernando, Daniella thing is so weird, I love it.
Me: yes
~*~*~*~
Me: Rofl the "fucked his best friend" scene is so much better than the gif set xDDD
Cassie: Dani really is something else
Me: Sun is BA
Me: I am suspicious of Rocky
Me: Oh oh he gets to fight using Sun!
Cassie: Rocky?
Me: Creepy stalker on lito, I think
Cassie: Oh, Dani's ex?
Me: I guess? Didn't get that far then the internet cut out
Cassie: Yeah, I think you're talking about Dani's ex.
Cassie: You should be creeped out by him.
Me: Yay
~*~*~*~

Cassie: Sun is soooo badass
Me: wow sun's family is full of douches
Me: yes yes save nomi (sp?)

Cassie: Nomi's gf is Amanita. She's awesome
Cassie: Also yeah Sun's family sucks ass
Me: ahahaha poor lito
Me: he can't handle cramps
Cassie: Oh, Lito. And his hormones are being all hormone-y. He can't stop crying.
Me: poor baby
Cassie: Meanwhile, Sun is fine
Me: she's not crying :P
Cassie: Well, yes. But she has reasons to be not crying
Cassie: While Lito really doesn't have logical reasons to be not yelling
Me: hehehe
Cassie: But actually, during this whole bit - poor Hernando
Me: ahaha yes
Cassie: His boyfriend is freaking out and he had no idea how to handle this situation
Me: yeah xD poor babies
~*~*~*~
Me: why does he have to be such a decent guy
Me: the dude who's trying to marry the indian chick. i am terrible with names :D
Cassie: I don't remember his name, either. But yeah, he seems like a sweetheart
Me: Poor dude
Cassie: Yeah
Me: awww sun has prison friends
Me: oh shit terrible boyfriend is here
Me: oh shit protective boyfriend
Me: (the good one)
Cassie: Sun's prison friends are a delicious kind of irony, because they're there for killing the men who treated them like shit, and she's there to protect them
Me: ayup
Me: but at least it's a stick-together group instead of an at-everyone's-throat's group
Me: "What would nancy drew do" "i sense a costume opportunity" pffft
Cassie: They're so funny, I love it. Wwndd is the best thing
Me: "wow it worked! you learned that in a book?" al;esdjfadf

Me: i couldn't hear her over my own screams xD
Me: oh no D= poor kala
Cassie: I don't think Nomi actually said that, but you know she was thinking it. What's going on with Kala?
Me: ah okay xD
Me: her father-in-law-to-be got murdered right in front of her
Cassie: Oh yes, you got to the part where he was Caesared. Okay

Cassie: She really bitter old lady.
Cassie: And honestly I still don't know whether they can trust Jonas.
Me: welp
~*~*~*~
Me: lito stop being sad
Me: it makes me sad
Me: i don't like the way jonas talks about us v them
Me: als;dkjfasd lito

Me: why don't any of them use the cell phone trick
Cassie: What a good henchman.
Cassie: And idk because it doesn't occur to them? That or they've gotten that info from Riley or Will already.
Me: no i mean the trick of holding your phone to your ear when you're tlaking to people that other people can't see
Me: they never use that in movies/tv
Me: .... lito why are you kissing him
Me: okay that's like a first step to admitting it to other people i guess?
Me: a;ldsfjkasd riley you're getting your dad and his buddies high really
Cassie: Lito is really over dramatic, all the time.
Me: okay sun come save lito's ass
Cassie: And yeah, oh my god, Riley just GIVES them E

Me: i like how she's still a part of them even though she's technically not needed anymore xD
Me: pfft they got high /before/ the show that's smart
Me: uh that was graphic. thanks i needed to see that
Me: do we have to watch everyone's births?? xD
Me: seriously they're watching tv and not the birth, wow
Cassie: Yeah the birth thing was weird
Me: did any of them go to a hospital, seriously
Me: oh god riley
Me: ahhh only two eps left
Me: i should sleep though
Cassie: "Oh god Riley" was pretty much my mantra through the last two episodes
Cassie: But yeah, sleep is good
Me: oh noooo xD
Me: yeah. gotta be out of the hotel by 11
~*~*~*~
Me: Bitter old lady >.>
Me: Is it bad that I think the brother killed the dad and not suicide?
Me: Oh guess not xD

Cassie: He deserves every punch he gets
Me: Hell yes
Me: Oh shit he used the van as a baseball bat
Me: Still don't trust Jonas

Me: Ahhhh last one
Me: .... I knew Will was my favorite for a reason xP
Me: (the bit with his therapist as a kid)
Me: Oh god Riley. She was pregnant?
Cassie: Yep
Cassie: Yep yep yep
Cassie: "Oh god, Riley, honey, Riley, baby" was basically my mantra at tree end for a reason
Cassie: *the end
Me: Science!
Me: Poor Riley baby
Me: Holy shit Wolfgang
Cassie: Wolfie doesn't fuck around
Me: *points and laughs about the boys and the car*
Me: Oh will xD
Me: Ahaha thank you lito
Me: "Oh shit four guards" "is that all"
Me: I can't tell who I'm more attracted to, Sun or Wolfie
Me: Will, now is not the time for tender touches
Cassie: Will now is the time for action
Cassie: Also the car thing was great
Cassie: And Sun was great
Me: Okay that did not look like Jonas was working /with/ whispers.... But still
Me: They all need sunglasses. Sunglasses everywhere
Me: Oh shit he saw will
Cassie: I literally cursed at the top of my lungs at that part
Me: I kind of missed it bc texting xD
Me: Oh Riley
Me: Also "but I know who can" hell yes Wolfie
Me: Don't do it will!
Me: He's been the fastest at picking this up (or maybe I'm biased). He can't die :(
Me: Medical coma?
Me: Or just knock out
Cassie: Knocked out
Cassie: I think still has practiced this, and that the girl who died was also part of the cluster.
Cassie: *Will has
Cassie: That's why it's so easy for him
Me: Ohhh that makes sense
Cassie: That or she was part of a different cluster, and they'd made eye contact.
Cassie: A cluster that Whispers took out, which is what the thing with watching a surgery is about
Me: Yeah I got that much
Me: Oooh that's smart. As long as he doesn't look at the gps, he can't know where they are
Me: Ugh how long till the next season comes out
Cassie: Mhm, and if they keep him from being conscious too long, he won't reach out to the others
Cassie: I don't know, but I want it now
Me: same
queensthief tagged me in this: "Hello, lovely! Once you get this, you must publicly say five things you like about yourself, then pass it on to ten of your favorite followers."
so I'm putting my answers under a readmore cause otherwise this might get long.
1. I love my hair. I dyed it blue over the dark brown, so in bright sunlight you could see that it was blue all over (it's pretty much faded now though), and am considering bleaching the ends and making them bright red. It's also fairly longish, and while the ends are a bit beat up, that makes it better for dying!
2. I love my dreams. I have dreams really often that seem like I'm being put in simulations to see how I'd react/be taught how to deal with thing. I often have the same dream multiple times in a night, with tiny things being changed that mean that I can't reuse my plan from last time, and instead have to adapt to the situation. I feel like my brain is prepping me with useful skills.
3. I love that I'm super good with animals. My science teacher at one point had 4 scorpions and I was able to pick them up and play with them without getting stung once.
4. I love how I can go into a sort of Night Vale mode and basically start spewing weird, eldritch-type sentences basically at the drop of a hat. I like to think they feel pretty close to some of the stuff the show comes up with.
5. I love the fact that I'm pretty strong. While it makes me constantly worried that I'm going to hurt someone accidentally, I like being able to lift things for other people and I especially like knowing that if I were to get mugged or something, all of my years of karate and rugby would mean that I would have a good chance of getting myself and my friends out of that situation unharmed.
