my favourite thing about project hail mary is that earth is unrecognizable by the time the beetle probes arrived. eva stratt is on a journey in a frozen foreign land trying to recreate home again while grace finished his journey and found home in an artificial earth in a faraway planet. it's so poetic.

there's an instagram reel that really pissed me off of this white foreigner trying filipino foods; he tries Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk) and he compared it to puke just because it's green. it's so infuriating bc they'll describe guacamole or pesto the same way even tho they have the same green appearance but food from southeast asia will always be disgusting looking to these fuckers

finally sat down for project hail mary and i cant stop crying over how beautiful bond and connection is in any form it takes

Bear is written so well as a narcissist and self-centered character that hides behind an external persona of a nice guy. He cries after his cat died but doesn't bother to bury it properly. He blames the cat for getting into the pill cabinet and doesn't acknowledge his negligence. Nikki begs him to end her suffering but he makes it about himself and his feelings. He blames the shop owners. He gets mad at Ian for not fixing his mess. There's no accountability. Just as he leaves the house after his cat died for Nikki, he quickly jumped ship to Sarah to seek the affection he wanted. When he finally has enough, he swallows the pills but backs out last minute. He would rather hurt the ones he loves with his eyes closed than hurt his ego. To him, nobody else matters and nothing is more important than his emotions. Love is just a way to feed his loneliness and ego.

just watched obsession..... i feel so bad for nikki being tortured the entire movie then being left to deal with the consequences of that cowardly bastard's actions I'M MAD ASFF

am i crazy bc why is lex luthor kind of a good guy in smallville like this king is very against dating minors and everyone looked at him funny when he was vocally opposed to that coach dating a high schooler

i know everyone's talking about petermj angst but the way ned is obsessing over spider-man and supporting his heroic activities like a fan and telling updates on his and mj's college life over empty live streams as he would tell to his best friend makes me so sad... something in him knows he has a best friend out there

olivia rodrigo's new album sounds like watching a romcom teen coming-of-age movie from the 90s idk how she does it

the show is enjoyable at face value but i feel like kdrama plots with school bullying (a very real extreme problem in south korea) that showcase an attempt to make a change and fight against school violence often goes for the fantasy of "beating your bully" and taking revenge successfully but it just stops there. a fantasy. the viewers will feel satisfaction through that drama and nothing much is really done about the real world. i think the public would move if a drama has a plot where the bully gets away with it and lives their life forgetting the violence they caused while the victim suffers, because that's the reality of that premise. there's no satisfaction, no revenge, all cases where a victim exposes their bully in korea gets sweep under the rug and nothing is done about it. i know this isn't a documentary but that's just my 2 cents about why koreans are tired of bully dramas and find this specific show controversial among other things.

if i was koyun i'd be super pissed that everyone wants to push a romantic narrative on her and yota after she finally made a good platonic relationship with a guy after all the shipping mess that created her trauma in middle school

I'm watching Amagami SS and I get why they're colour-coding the girls in modern harem animes now

tomodachi life came close to getting me to buy a nintendo switch but i fear being a the sims players makes the game unappealing in comparison it's not chaotic as i want it to be

why does minato think people owe him a space in their hearts just because he's nice to them... people can just not vibe with you and that's fine but he's acting like koyun owes him the same treatment she gives to yota and miki. i do like that he's aware that he's being arrogant tho
