Revenge of the Jewfro

Kim's latent obnoxious personality will make him the perfect pet parent. communal funny little dog OC Tippy* is a shivering little sighthound. she needs clothes on windy days. who's a self taught tailor? Kim. who’s the most fashionable little doggy in all of Revachol? his dog. but he’s not like THOSE OTHER pet parents. he’s not a crazy dog dad.

throwback to that time in my existentialism class where the professor asked ‘who thinks hell is other people’ and half the class slowly and meekly put their hand up

That quote is amazing to me in that it’s quoted completely accurately and yet in a way that means something completely different from what it meant in context.

The line comes from No Exit, which is set in Hell. Spoilers for No Exit follow

There is so much fucking rage in my fucking heart when I see people censor the swears

Do not lay belly

"Grace sounds like a young Eridian" this, "Grace is chronologically a pebble" that. ENOUGH. I propose "Grace is a creaky old man to Eridians." His wealth of knowledge beyond theirs gives the impression that he's spent centuries alive to learn it all. His rougher voice (compared to their whalesong) and steady, fluid movements (compared to their habit of either perfect stillness or jittering) are both full on Eridian gandpappy. They're convinced he's basically Bill Nye before he even reveals he wants to teach science.

Enough depressurized blobfish. I'm here to spread living blobfish propaganda.

thinking about eva stratt again and it is very telling of andy weir’s political positioning that her “betrayal” of ryland grace is framed by him as her most severe crime. and i mean it makes sense, the story is from grace’s POV so that one’s going to stand out the most and be discussed most by the community. and her other “problematic” actions aren’t undiscussed but even the nuking of antarctica to accelerate global warming, which has the most immediately obvious widespread effects, is framed through how it makes leclerc, an individual man cry. the way it’ll affect weather patterns and cause devastation in that sense are mentioned but it’s never really framed as a moral wrongdoing, just an act of desperation that may or may not work on stratt’s part and scientific speculation on weir’s part.
