#trillion

And I thought shit like Wings of Fire (Freedom trapped with Cottonmouth for 5000 years) or Hilda (the mountain giant guy waiting for 4000 years) or Steven Universe (basically every gem characters long lasting trauma) was crazy. Does not compare by any means. Like 1 billion is an INSANE number, let alone 1 trillion. I'll never get over that.

I'm never feeling bad for another immortal fictional character again. Idgaf how long you waited for whatever I guarantee it is not even a fraction in comparision

"unless... you werent just a blip" OH YOU THINK?? DID YA JUST FIGURE THAT OUT? 1.4 TRILLION YEARS OF THIS AND YA JUST REALIZED?

Counting to 1 MILLION would take about 11 days

Counting to 1 BILLION would take about 32 years

Can we TALK about how The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie just… exists as this lonely, beautiful, weird, slightly chaotic adaptation, and then the universe just decided, "Yeah, that’s enough." Like, excuse me?? Douglas Adams gave us an ENTIRE SAGA. Five books. FIVE. The movie only covers book one, with little sprinkles of book two, and then it just drops off the face of the galaxy.

I’m still mad that Disney (of all corporations, DISNEY) had the rights and then just let them collect dust in some vault somewhere. Like??? You’ll pump out ten thousand Marvel sequels no one even asked for, but you won’t give us The Restaurant at the End of the Universe on the big screen??? Where’s my cinematic shot of an apocalyptic dinner show while the universe literally collapses?? Where’s my Life, the Universe and Everything murder mystery energy?? Where’s my So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish tragic romance arc with Arthur??

The wildest part is, the 2005 film wasn’t even bad, it was charming, funny, colorful, deeply weird in that way only Hitchhiker’s should be. The cast was stacked. The vibes were immaculate. Did it deviate from the books? Yes. Do I care? No. It was the perfect stepping stone to more sequels and yet… nothing. Radio silence. Like the movie itself was wiped away by the Vogons for being "improbably good."

And don’t even get me started on the fact that we live in a timeline where people greenlight three Fantastic Four reboots but I can’t get Zaphod Beeblebrox’s even wilder political career on screen. Justice for the 2005 Hitchhiker’s. I want my Restaurant sequel. I want Marvin back. I want the universe to explode in increasingly silly ways.

Anyway, I’m not saying I’d personally start a low-budget indie GoFundMe campaign to film Mostly Harmless in someone’s garage with cardboard props, but I’m also not saying that I wouldn't.
