Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

I always try to show my thought process on this blog, but I’ve been thinking about creating some more generalized information. Like, what fact-checking is and how to do it yourself if something seems iffy. There’s so much disinformation and AI slop floating around on every topic now that some easy-to-read explainers might be helpful?

pre-cot3 based on that one meme yk

i was gonna post this with another version of the meme from a dif fandom but i do NOT thinking i’m finishing that anytime soon so..!

Holly Munro being fashionable is always canon and The Thing for me

So stoked to share the official trailer for the Avatar Aang movie, now releasing JULY 25th on Paramount+!!

I didn’t have a handle of english but I thought because of the “-ly” suffix it was one big describing word so I asked what it meant. However she didn’t know what I meant, she ended up explaining what dawn was (I already knew that 🙄 I wasn’t a fool). She got more confused, thinking I meant what the lyrics were trying to say emotionally

She described the wave of relief as the sun crested over the landscape. The feeling of relaxing your shoulders because even so it’s not over the worst part has passed.

I loved the fictional word ‘dawnserly’. It was the moment in The Lord of the Rings when the ring is destroyed but they are still so far from home. They are still physically in pain but they are no longer in mortal peril

The reason I mentioned this all is because our friend Johnathan Harker explains it perfectly on June 25

lucy? the strange girl without a certificate, without her fourth grade. traumatized from her past. and he chooses her, trusts her, helps build her up.

george? the odd researcher kicked out by fittes? lockwood says “you’re my best friend now come home with me”. he sees the brilliant mind behind the eccentricity, naked yoga, rude commentary.

holly? scared, verbally abused, grieving holly who lost her whole team and all of her confidence in herself? he chooses her, too. strengthens her confidence until she’s back to the agent she needs to be.

even kipps, his once rival. the guy he loved to hate, who stole his jobs and was insufferable about it. the soggy ginger plague rat. and lockwood says “come with us on this case”. gives kipps’ his ability back.

of course, what each of them do for him is equally as important (and it’s a whole other essay). and these characters’ arcs have so much to do with other people and their own choices, not just lockwood.
