#weird way to describe 1973 but i guess it’s accurate

Theatre release date Aug 28, 2026.

I love The Good Place so much, it's a fantastic show, but I will never get over how one of the first things Michael says is "Every major religion guessed about five per cent right [about the afterlife]", citing Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus as examples, and then presents an afterlife concept so Christian that I've met multiple real-life Christians who believe that that's how it works.

In saying that, Michael himself accidentally gets it kind of right. It's a Hindu afterlife, and a Buddhist one, with a lot of Christian and Jewish along the way.

one more thing. if a character ascends to godhood/divinity/some form of power that makes them practically omnipotent and no longer human. and they had a partner before that who didn’t rise with them. you are legally required to make that situation as terrifying as it would rightly be. it’s bad enough to get the attention of a god. it is ruinous to be loved by one. that is not the person you knew anymore. that is something that never has to let you leave, or have secrets, or disobey it. it will fix every problem you so much as glance at, and it will shower you in grace and gifts until you drown, and it will make you a holy artifact in its own story. you have to understand, it doesn’t remember how horrible death is, so it strikes you to cinders like a snide comment and brings you back with an apology it needs you to accept. that is how it’s going to love you forever, because it might not be inclined to let you die.

Finished Project Hail Mary earlier today and how come nobody told me this was a platonic Orpheus and Eurydice type situation between two alien species? There is no greater act of love than the act of turning around can anyone hear me hello can anyone hear me Rocky are you there it’s me Ryland I am actively bashing the side of your ship with a giant fuck ass wrench
