#bio rambles

there was an article one of my professors had us read that (while centered around the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic) also really dove into this concept of human hubris and how for some reason we as a collective species inherently situate ourselves as the “dominant” species on the planet despite the fact that the full span of our existence is barely even a blip in comparison to how long other living species have been around, plus the fact that we could literally be entirely decimated in equally as short a time if even a single superbug managed to evolve enough resistance to our strongest antibiotics (the concept of superbugs as a whole keeps me up at night lol but that’s a different post)

but yeah in terms of numbers? microbes rule the fuckin earth.

So, for the final tally. Around $7,500 was put into it.

I forgot to check again.

Whoops.

I’m genuinely curious on what the plot of the Supernova tie in comic is going to be about. Along with who the artist is going to be along if we’re going to get another glubbo or a Mech.

So, for the Monarch Files, I ordered a physical copy so due to personal reasons I won’t be able to read it until the 28th at midnight or the 29th.

I’m just glad that more than one source (Aftershock) confirms that the MUTO species seen in 2014 is now referred to as the “Jinshin Mushi”. Especially now that both Aftershock and the Omnibus(which I thankfully do have) are hard to find for cheap these days.

IMPORTANT

To clear confusion on Legendary’s “No Dinosaur Rule” for the Monsterverse, it is more of a “No Direct Dinosaur Rule”. Meaning that you cannot have a straight up Spinosaurus in the Monsterverse but if you can give it some fanatical features like gills, tree stumps for legs, and maybe something different for the sail and you’ll be all good. Or cut to the chase like in the last issue of Escape From Skull Island where they used a carnivorous Ceratopsian.

The “Godzilla is not a species” rule is far more direct. Unless Legendary wants to pay an extra copyright to use Manilla or Little, you ain’t gonna get nothing. Also just because the child beater from outer space is confirmed doesn’t mean that he’s directly a member of Godzilla’s TOHO banned species and can have a different origin. But this is why we have fanfiction.

Me: what do you think about the force awakens?

Friend: it was awesome! I loved it, I ship Rey and Kylo so hard!

Me: Well Kylo's adorable, but I don't really ship Rey with anybody.

Friend: 😒

Me: what?

Friend: Kylo's not even cute, why would you think that?!

Me:...

Friend: I mean come on, he doesn't look cute!

Me: You know what, you don't get to judge. You're the one who thought Anakin was cute while his face was being melted off by LAVA!

Friend: ... He's still not cute.
