Very normal

Rocky because they can hear them laughing at "fist my bump"

HE HAS LITTLE FANGS LOOK AT THEMMM

I just went through the comments and expected nothing less but repeated hornyposting and people saying that it was cute, and I was not surprised in the slightest to be proven right.

You're all DOGS. EVERY ONE OF YOU. PERVERTS AND DOGS.

Not Simon immediately jumping to the idea that the Quiet Rapture was possibly something useful, and could save him. "Is that how you're still alive?" was a double question, because he was really asking, "could it save me?" He says it SO hopefully, too.

LOOK AT HIM AWWEEEEE AWWWWW AWW AWEEEEEEEEE😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕

this was after the depth meter raised a little outta the red i think

i might genuinely change my pfp to this he’s so cute oh my god

After asking the question, "what kind of font does the SM-13's terminal UI utilize?" Our friend over at @fontseeker gave us an answer, and with it, an even greater discovery!

It's the bios font from the Acer 710 computer from 1987. You can download it as part of The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack.

Because of course they'd use a real BIOS font! Why would they not? These guys are detail junkies!

Unfortunately for them, so am I.

While I have an entirely different reblog thread about the font, a detail snagged my attention. It's a BIOS font. For the Acer 710.

Indeed, the ACER 710 is truly a computer you can count on. - Acer Technologies Targets Comdex (1987) [ PDF ]

Some facts I've learned about this computer:

Its original retail price was $995.

It was one of the fastest 8088-based PCs available at the time.

It was part of the very first line of computers released after the company officially rebranded from Multitech Electronics to Acer Technologies Corp. in June 1987.

Acer actually went through the trouble of modifying IBM's standard system font glyphs for its BIOS text display.

It originally shipped with the Acer KB-102A mechanical keyboard. It has Alps SKCM Blue clicky switches.

The system’s dedicated 14-inch dual-frequency monochrome monitor (the MM-14) won the Die gute Industrieform award in Germany.

It was marketed as a "small footprint" system, designed to reclaim huge amounts of desk space compared to the monster IBM computers of the mid-1980s. It was specifically designed to be compact.

Unlike many computers of its day that required separate expansion cards for freakin' everything, the 710 had its graphics (supporting MDA, CGA, and Hercules monochrome) built directly into the motherboard. This computer was a one-stop shop!

Did the C.O.I. snag a 383-year-old motherboard for the SM-13? Not likely. We can truly, finally, place this movie's setting in a Cassette Futurism genre outside of the Iron Lung.

These guys were using operable 1980s technology in the year 2370 AD. What an absolutely insanely niche way to nod at the outside world! We can assume that this is a hunk of junk and not worth missing by their standards, as it was built into a burner sub, so we can then assume that the technology of Iron Lung is a little ahead of this. Possibly 90s to early 2000s if we really want to push it.

everybody point and laugh at the caged animal

crops and process stuff:

Father: The Stars Are Gone. Simon: That's Bullshit.

It's implied Simon said it; he's held this belief all his life.

You don't center-focus a camera on a young boy, with a young boy's voice speaking, to imply that it is someone else. To the people out there who believe that this might not be Simon at all; this kid has the holster on his sleeve in the exact same spot. Go zoom in on that picture if the headband and general dead stare didn't make it obvious enough.

"Stop saying they're gone." "Isn't it easier to believe they're still there?" "No one on Eden wants to think this way."

These three dialogue lines are direct parallels of each other. In fact, they lead into each other seamlessly.

That's what made him the "head in the clouds" guy among a crowd of nihilists in Eden, and put a target on his back as the black sheep. It's always been this way.

It's why I extrapolated that Simon is a maladaptive daydreamer to psychologically soothe against the loss of all the stars and planets. Simon's always thinking about the things he lost; his mother included.

He's always thinking about Mars. He's up every night wondering if the people back home miss him. How everyone missed the chance to see him grow up. Wondering if they'd welcome him back or see him for the monster he had to become in order to live long enough to see the chance of the Quiet Rapture happening again.

He'd rather be given the chance to be rejected by his own people than never see them again.

Welded shut

I will not die helpless.

My death will not amount to nothing.
