It just now occurred to me that some of yall don't remember a time before touch screens

Like. The first popular touch screens I knew of were high end new-edition ipods and that was their defining trait. No buttons.

"But how do we use it without buttons?" Well. It has three buttons. Power and volume.

My whole class full of middle class kids had ipod nanos, ipod shuffles they got for Christmas. I had an MP3 player, and before that, a cassette player and a portable CD player.

The 'ipod touch' was goddamn crazy. Like, space-age shit.

I swear to god when I got one as a gift from a well-off relative it had no music, no games, I didn't know how to connect it to the internet, nothing, but the reality of a smooth screen that responded when you touched it like some kind of goddamn hologram, like a pocket mirror with color-changing cuttlefish skin that knew I was touching it, that I just spent a solid hour and a half in my room just swiping the screen back and forth.

And the idea that you could connect to the INTERNET on it?? And not the expensive shitty pixelated crap you paid $50 a minute for on your flip phone, but WHOLE WEBSITES? JUST LIKE ON A LAPTOP? Ooooooooooohmygod.

And it was small enough to hide under the covers with!! I could read after bedtime!!! Before that, I had a second-hand digital camera, and I'd take photos of my comic books during the day so I could read through them later on the tiny ass 2"x2" view screen. And before THAT, it was a bedside lamp I'd scramble to turn off if it sounded like someone was getting close to the stairs.

And after the ipod touch, card readers started getting touch screens. I didn't think I'd ever get used to being encouraged to smear my fingerprints on the glass.

And SMARTBOARDS? Hoooooooooooooooly shit.

Like. I'm not even old yet, and every so often I just suddenly remember that the world I knew at that age doesn't exist anymore.

And what's all this going to become?

Who knows

Honestly though I really do miss VHS tapes-

That implanted memory of the commercials for other movies leading up to the ACTUAL movie? The VsssrrrRRRRRZIPZIPZZZZZZZZZIP? That big cardboard box of tapes with no boxes and shitty sharpie labels from shows straight ripped from cable, vintage ads and all?

Like yeah it sucked when the player ate the ribbon and you had to carefully untangle its innards and wheel em back in but GODDAMN they made piracy so smooth and easy

teaboot

Hey do you think it's possible to hook a VHS player up to a laptop

It’s the way I am absolutely fucking unhinged over this episode. Smutty nonsense so good it made me revive this blog from the dead!!

SHES BLEPPING IN THE LAST PHOTO HELP ME

Since so many “tiger rescues” aren’t really rescues at all, I did some googling on this one.

Good news: This is a legit rescue, carried out by Tigers in America. This organisation rescues tigers from horrible situations like this.

If you’re an animal conservationist looking for an organisation to support, Tigers in America is worth looking into.

Buffy’s “Normal Again”, but it’s Natasha Romanoff and they’re trying to convince her she’s never left the Red Room.

Because defect? Really? Who would trust her to join their side? She betrays, that’s what she’s known for. This is a fairy tale.

And on the other side, the Avengers, trying to show her how real their years of relationships are- but it sounds an awful lot like a fantasy of companionship she would tell herself. People like Natasha don’t get saved.

I keep thinking of the flashback in AOU when she shoots the hooded man and all the people who she could pull off the hood and find—Clint, Steve, Sam, Fury…

HOW DARE YOU

There is so much to exploit if Natasha is questioning what her reality is. One of the strengths of the Avengers, for me, is that while each of their origin stories follows similar formulae, they all come from different genres, and Natasha’s is one of the ones more rooted in reality. Even if you were raised as a child assassin, “little guy who became injected with stuff, got big, and then froze for 70 years” and “engineer who made himself a metal suit that flies when kidnapped” and “man who turns into a monster” and “literal god,” not to mention most of the villains they’ve faced, are SIGNIFICANTLY weirder. The events of the MCU are unbelievable on its best day.

It makes more sense that the Avengers are just the story she tells herself to cope with everything she sees in her day-to-day life as an assassin for the Red Room. But it would also make sense, then, for her “memories” to bleed out, for the attachments she formed in the life where she’s allowed attachments to paint their faces over all the people she’s trained herself to dispassionately kill.

And that would also fit the Red Room’s MO: make it harder for her, to learn that attachments aren’t okay. It absolutely fits into their mode of torture to let her form attachments just to make her shoot them. It could just as easily be real as be in her head.

This is terrible and I love it.
