cursed to be thinking about Star Wars: A Certain Point of View short story Of MSE-6 And Men.
I'm so glad joel smallishbeans is here to explain the tumblr sexyman iceberg to us for his time travelling hermitcraft episode.
Happy New Year!!!
There are now officially only 12 days left to enjoy "Pacific Rim" as a movie portraying "futuristic events"!!!
Important dates to add to your calendar!!!
Between January 1 and January 8, 2025:
Striker Eureka is decommissioned from active combat.
Category IV Kaiju, Mutavore, breaks through Anti-Kaiju Wall and is killed by Striker Eureka, thus proving the Anti-Kaiju Wall ineffective.
Stacker Pentecost recruits Raleigh Becket for breach assault.
Raleigh Becket arrives at the Hong Kong Shatterdome.
Pilot tryouts with Raleigh Becket begin proper.
Raleigh and Mako nearly destroy the Shatterdome during their first attempt at drifting together in Gipsy Danger, prompting Stacker Pentecost to ground her, and inform Raleigh that he would be paired with another co-pilot.
January 8, 2025:
Double Event.
Newton Geiszler drifts with a Kaiju brain.
Category IV Kaijus, Leatherback and Otachi, emerge from the breach and attack Hong Kong.
Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, and Striker Eureka are deployed.
Crimson Typhoon is destroyed and the Wei Tang brothers are killed by Otachi.
Cherno Alpha is destroyed and the Kaidanovskys are killed by Leatherback.
Striker Eureka is incapacitated by Leatherback's EMP, and Herc Hansen's arm is broken.
Since Gipsy Danger is analog and the only Jaeger able to withstand the EMP (don't ask! I didn't quite get that part!), Stacker finally agrees to let Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori co-pilot her in the field.
Stranded with an unresponsive Jaeger, Herc and Chuck Hansen decide they should do something really, really stupid climb on the top of the head of Striker Eureka and shoot at it with flare guns. For the record that was Herc's dumbass idea!
To absolutely no one's surprise, the flare guns do absolutely no damage to the Kaiju whatsoever, and they only manage to piss Leatherback off but still look badass doing it!
Gipsy Danger is deployed and saves Herc and Chuck Hansen 's sorry asses.
Chuck Hansen is revealed as a secret Gipsy Danger fanboy.
Leatherback and Otachi are killed by Gipsy Danger.
Otachi's baby Kaiju is born and dies via strangulation by umbilical cord during pursuit of Newton Geiszler.
January 12, 2025:
Triple Event.
Category IV Kaiju, Scunner and Raiju emerge from the Breach.
Since Herc Hansen is unable to co-pilot Striker Eureka with his son, Stacker Pentecost decides to take his place in the conn-pod.
Stacker Pentecost launches "Operation Pitfall", an assault involving Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka on the Breach.
Category 5 Kaiju, Slattern, emerges from the Breach.
Raiju is killed by Gipsy Danger.
Striker Eureka self detonates thermonuclear bomb near the Breach, killing Scunner and a bunch of fishes and badly wounding Slattern.
Slattern is killed by Gipsy Danger.
Gipsy Danger uses Slattern's dead body as a "bar code" to grant them access to the Anteverse through the Breach.
Raleigh Becket sends Mako Mori to safety in her escape pod after she loses consciousness upon entering the Anteverse.
Raleigh Becket arms Gipsy's nuclear reactor to self-destruct, destroys the Breach, and narrowly manages to escape the Anteverse through his own escape pod before the Breach collapses.
Herc Hansen stops the War Clock!
I need snoots!
[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories
Padmé Amidala in a deleted scene from:
ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) - dir. George Lucas
t-shirt that says ‘I LOVE BEING ALONE IN QUIET DARK PLACES.’ on the front and ‘I AM NOT A FUNGUS.’ on the back.

Look, being a necromancer isn't difficult
You pick a target, follow your ritual book as closely as possible, and remember not to revive anything you can't put down
It's that easy
(Undead Dragon Roar)
See that? I have to wait for a hero to come and deal with that because I cannot rekill that dragon
when I handed in my autism paperwork, I scheduled an appointment directly with my GP to go over my fully filled out and annotated paperwork, and go over the questions I'd made notes i didn't understand or needed clarified. I think colour coding was involved.
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
darling, will you saturate?
watchin’ the prequels
The clones in Star Wars absolutely astound me, especially in the clone wars like,
501st: Our general is a war criminal maniac with a teenager at his heel learning to do the same things by example. And we love them.
212th: Our general is in love with a Duchess and we’re actively in feud with a four armed lightsaber wielding cyborg with lung cancer. One time we fucking punched him and lived.
104th: I would give my entire right arm to see the General Plo never comes to harm or anything ever happens to him. Wolffe: I gave my eye but still, same sentiment.
327th: Our commander and general are fucking. Like. Legitimately. Bly: Yeah dude. Ayala Secura: Yeah dude.
The Bad Batch: This hologram thing keeps telling us that we should stop right now and follow protocol instead of commuting more war crimes. If anyone but Tech knows what war crimes are they simply do not care enough to stop.
Long live the fucking republic man. How the hell they won battles is a mystery.
R.I.P my son. I only had you for 44 days. There will forever be a silverfish shaped hole in my heart.
nothing bad ever happened to them
The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker is that he was always in a box someone else put him in. Watto said you are a slave. Qui-gon said you are the chosen one. You are a Jedi, you are a general, you are a good person. And when he knew without any doubt that he was no longer what people told him he was, he had to find new boxes. You are a sith. You are a servant. You are mine.
He spent his whole life being defined by people around him. And then along came Luke. And Luke didn't say 'you are a good person, come back to the light where you belong.' Because Anakin by all rights didn't belong in the light. No, Luke said 'you are my father. There's good in you." Luke said 'you have done great evil, but you can still change.' Luke said 'I do not excuse your villainy but I believe you can make your own choices.'
And that--that--is what got through. Not 'here is another box you must fit into' but finally, after his whole life, someone told Anakin 'you decide who you are.' And Anakin decided he was a man who loved his son.
STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005) + letterboxd reviews
(in/sp)
Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.
On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.
But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.
And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.
Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.
The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.
When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

Something about Luke being the spitting image of his father
Starset really is the funniest band ever, they didn’t establish a fanbase before going off with their lore like most do, they dropped one (1) single in 2013 and then a year later, with no fame and one established song, walked up to the music scene like “hey we’re a secret society with a scifi message about a dystopian future, the only answer is to make science accessible and to fight against fascism and rock out” and then dropped the greatest cinematic rock album in history. unbelievable
star wars episode iii: revenge of the sith (2005) dir. george lucas / monster by starset
nono no you get it you Get It ! same band different fonts ! (particularly starsets love songs) where starset has the incomprehensible beauty and scale of space, sleep token have the incomprehensible beauty i assume one might find in religion, or a similar level of devotion. Like they are so small and the emotions are so big, you have to draw comparisons to astral bodies and dieties to properly convey it, and the loneliness that comes with it. A sort of reverence and devotion for something out of your reach.
I think thematically they have similarities, aesthetically they clash a little, but it could most certainly still slap.
hear me out, but i think a collab between sleep token and starset would absolutely fuckin SLAP
they have similar lyric styles (in my opinion), both of them are almost poetic in nature, and they both have that lovely touch of devotion, longing, self-loathing, and anger throughout their songs
i dunno, just a totally random thought i had but i think it would be such a cool idea!! plus, both sleep token and starset deserve so much more attention 😭
