As hard and as ruthless as a rose petal

I haven't watched Buffy in years but I think Spike could be a butch lesbian and Buffy thinks she's a cis dude for like eight episodes at least. When she finds out otherwise she's all surprised and Spike is like "did the knockers not give it away?" (bc you know she is freebirding under those t-shirts and leather everywhere she goes) and Buffy, feministly, is like "I didn't notice the knockers!" and Xander is like "I definitely did" and Spike is like "Yeah, I know," and Willow's like "I also noticed the knockers, if that helps" and Spike is like "Thank you" and Buffy's like. Can we please stop talking about the vampire knockers

What doesn’t get talked about enough is that, all those 40-something years, Rocky had all the supplies he needed to go back home. He had the fuel, he had the food. But he didn’t. He tried and tried and tried. He kept going. He took measurements, gathered data, built new Astrophage samplers but could never get it right. He maintained the Blip-A, a ship that was built in a hurry and just kept breaking, for over FORTY YEARS. When Grace found him, Rocky wasn’t just sitting idle in orbit. He was still working, still trying, he hadn’t given up. He was tracking the stars, probably to watch for a potential second mission from Erid, when he spotted the Hail Mary in reverse-thrust. Rocky calls Grace brave. Truly, Grace is. But I’d compare Rocky more to Stratt. How much of yourself would you be willing to sacrifice to save your planet? Rocky was willing to stay at Tau Ceti for the rest of his life until he either found a solution, or died.

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

Omg this looks like some sort of Fairytale Horror; like, a town with trees that have missing pets or people etched into them- coming off naturally enough to be dismissed as bark/tree discolouration

The framing of this image is just perfect subtle horror. 

Chill it’s a pole

you missed the tree entirely didnt you buddy

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

no no no put me back in the loop I almost did it perfect please put me back just a few more tries and I think I could really nail it please put me back

the irony of the betrayal scene is that grace has actually managed to have about half of his character arc by that point and the very fact that he's saying "no" demonstrates that he's getting closer to being the brave person stratt needs on her side, just not quite close enough. he's being firm to say he's not just gonna do whatever people ask of him and he's exhibiting vulnerability and trust in a personal relationship by believing that stratt will hear and respect his answer. let us not forget that this is the man who did Try to resist getting put in the argon death cube but ultimately rolled his eyes and went "ugh kinda bossy but whatever this is okay I guess" about it. his experiences on the petrova taskforce have made him an iota stronger, and I think that's part of what makes stratt so frustrated in that scene. the book "I don't want to die" and movie "you just can’t talk me into it" lines, representing taking ownership of his desires and an unwillingness to be passive to others' wants, are both breakthroughs for him and things he would have been too cowardly to say earlier in the timeline, and she definitely knows him well enough to be able to see that. I think there's a part of her that's thinking "if you'd only done this faster and been the person who learned how to say no two years ago then maybe by now you'd be the person who's learned how to say yes."

yao being the first to die is actually plaguing me so bad. everything hurts. what do you mean. his method of suicide was a gun, so fucking violent but so effective. he was going to wait until his crew went, in case they needed a way out because something happened. he was the captain. he was going to be the last one alive. he died first.

#yao wanted to die last and died first#ilyukhina wanted to die having fun and died in the middle of a coma#dubois had a detailed plan for his death and was killed by someone else's sloppiness#all of them got the opposite of what they wanted
