why the fuck would ananke let cassandra film 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH MY GODDDDD

Cassandra!!!!

oh no. but cassandra brings truth and...? that’s bad? that’s...she destroys the inspiration? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON

but i’d love to see laura and cassandra commune :3

but also why the fuck did ananke not tell the gods their origin story? like, put it all in perspective, tell them their PURPOSE

ok but is baphomet gonna kill cassandra? set up by ananke like, if she’s supposed to keep the gods alive and help em, she’s doing a poor fucking job of it. Sounds like she’s the darkness herself

god cassandra’s god outfit looks good on her

AGHGGHH SHE’S GONNA DIE NOOOOOO

like, ananke literally set baphomet up to kill the other gods, so she could then murder him ‘legitimately’

wow I hadn’t expected baphomet to actually go kill kill kill

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAURA

WHAT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAURA (WHAT THE FUCK AHHAHGHDGHDHHF I LOVED HER WHY THE FUCK DOES SHE KEEP KILLING EVERYONE I LOVE)

so yeah uh Ananke was definitely the darkness lol (y so perceptive i, on the other hand why didn’t Ananke just straight up murder everyone from the start)

just finished reading ‘the long way to a small angry planet’ and it’s cool, cool elements and shit, found family, different kinds of aliens plus some evolutionary explanation for their similiarities. But the philosophy and some of the emotion was so on the nose damn. and the seeding was purely practical and entirely foreseeable.

The only moments that made me really go Shiiitt 

were the Dr. ‘s story about war and the burrowing bullets and his daughter.

and Lovey.

Lovey...

for the rest it just kinda rumbled along. made me think: what’s the plot to this again?

and then i mean what there was of plot was pretty predictable. And the worldbuilding was so.....not as cold and bleak and complex as i’ve been reading (and watching) lately from sci-fi.

All the tech stuff had kind of an intriguing texture to it. 

and the Events were interesting for sure. and i also had a moment of: y-i-s when Rosemary made her advance on Sissix. yessss. Intimacy! and the explanation of sex being like a good meal to Aadrinsk or whatever they’re called was interesting.

But it was so.....it was a universe with an authority that was actually genuinely quite trustworthy, expected to actually care about its citizens, and some angular laws in some places yeah but very little crime. the stance on violence and killing as Not a Good Idea was generally shared.

i always always cry at the Run to You lyricstuck by paperseverywhere video. UGH

[theskyexists]

so! I have found the free video editing software For Me

and i have found. EDITING IS HARD

lol

i knew this but damn. matching cuts to the music is hard in a way i hadn’t thought about. which is weird bc i always think about that shit when is see badly or goodly matched cuts in vids

it’s because....you want that moment in there. but. it’s just doesn’t take long enough. NOW WHAT?

tell me video editing gods (literally im gonna watch some vids)

ok but the infodump in the middle there between Kelly and Greg was fucking terrible tho? seriously what th efuck? haha i don’t care tho

this is an episode to rewatch because yeah i expected virtual reality, and then there was a verbal hint and visual hints and a MORE blatant visual hint and then an absolutely blatant hint with the pain slider.

but the whole engagement thing??? all the dialogue did such a good job of keeping you guessing what was really going on, whether to take the world at face value or not even as i was almost sure it was virtual and even then i just couldn’t figure out what the things they said about themselves MEANT in the real world

also but holy schmoly tho those lil white head thingies, the episode i saw before this one made AWFUL use of them oh my god gods it was terrible. Black Mirror is just. a show that absolutely guts me and now???

it’s like. Charlie Brooker what the absolute of fucks

and also the acting was so good???? it was so good what the heck.

I just watched Brave

why did nobody tell me that it’s INCREDIBLE?

i have zero criticism

[theskyexists]

i actually have some pretty amazing adventures and that’s why i recommend larp because thinking back on it that shit is pretty cool

i mean, it literally allowed me to be the hero to save the entirety of the World against an unfathomable Nothing

???? that’s like

that was literally my dream as a kid. I LITERALLY have an epic fantasy backstory as a farmer’s daughter. I was LITERALLY chosen at almost random out of nowhere. By actual coincidence I led all previous Swordmasters to the place that had been their camp like 6000 years ago on the previous cycle before I’d even been selected by the Gods’ chosen ones as Champion of All.

and I won the test against the previous Champion (now a mad demon) by DANCING COMPETITION (i know i know, stroke of genius lol) and then this actually thematically resonated on into the final battle because we threw a party beforehand to focus as much lifeforce on me as possible and we danced! and then after weathering wave after wave of dark Things I used my Demon Sword to hack a writhing screaming mass onto a golden throne to elevate it to godhood and bind the Nothing to Everything.

im writing this autobiographical book for my history skill

wow. stranger things is so well-acted. but also. somebody kick Steve in the balls. jfc. But I have suddenly gained an understanding of why girls would be fucking stupid and let in somebody so obviously out for only sex and horribly manipulative (is he??? i don’t even KNOW). What is it? hmmmmm It’s getting the idea that somebody likes you, finds you attractive, values you - someone who has been rated (almost collectively) attractive because of how tall he is, his confidence and his callousness. intoxicating. It’s new and it makes you feel good about yourself. Everytime they kiss and he tries to take her clothes off and shit alarms go blaring in my head: pregnancy PREGNANCY THINK OF THE GODDAMN UNWANTED PREGNANCY. and all the fucked up hangups about sex that will have you feel super bad probably

THE KIDS ARE SUCH KIDS. WOW!!! i mean WOW!!!.

HIS MUM AND HIS BIG BROTHER!!!

EVERYTHING IS SO WELL-ACTED

I am so glad the sheriff is actually competent.

Did Will turn into electricity?

anyway. this is great. the feel is so real
