amethyst's ramblings

*stumbles out of a building covered in blood* i failed a social interaction .

dogs love using their horizontal nature to stand in front of you

my hound is always guilty of this, i have one really long hallway down one side of my house and he is constantly a very endearing obstacle.

wound dressings and bandages are lingerie for the enlightened pervert

i'm gonna throw my phone. very hard. at your forehead. okay? okay. it's gonna hurt. okay? and you're gonna bleed? okay? okay. and then. okay. i'm gonna put my hands. around your throat okay? and. i'm gonna dig my nails in. okay? okay. and you're gonna bleed some more. and then. after. okay? i'm gonna smash your head against a wall while you're already passed out from the whole hands-around-your-neck thing and you're gonna have a reaaaaaally bad headache when you wake up. okay? okay.

late night thoughts somehow always end up leading back to you <3

the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.

@mallardisaster me n you :)

Project Hail Mary is a fantastic example of how filmmakers can create a faithful adaptation and still take artistic liberties. The writers didn't try to copy the book to a tee, and added their own elements (the mental health room, the astrophage transition, the beach scene on erid, Grace's wardrobe etc). They understood that a film is a different artistic medium than a book and tried to write the story in a way that best suited that medium, all while staying loyal to the original story and themes.
