Here and Queer

For years after 9/11 we were constantly told “NEVER FORGET” and the idea was basically “keep feeling sad and afraid and especially ANGRY forever; don’t let time dull your emotional response like it’s naturally supposed to; continue to justify the injustices by feeling this way all the time.” And the 3000 deaths were constantly pointed to as this huge deal that justified any lengths to go to.

And then Covid hit. And there were several points during the height of the pandemic (because fun fact, according to the actual definitions of a pandemic, *it’s not technically over yet!* ) where we were having a 9/11’s worth of deaths every week or so. And suddenly 3000 deaths were not a big deal at all. Instead of being enough reason to go to war far away and strip us at home of many rights too, they weren’t even enough justification to make people wear a damn piece of fabric over their face.

3000 people died once and now the government can legally wiretap anyone without a warrant, and hold people at Gitmo under suspicion of terrorism (no need for due process)… 3000 people dying every week but we should all still be going out to brunch and concerts and who cares about the disabled and immunocompromised?

Dr Ena Knows. she knows about the canary protocol enough to the point where her superiors could Threaten Her with it.

she doesnt seem to know the whole thing by the white text's (presumably Dr Bao's) words, but she knows enough.

this is also backed with her clearance lvl being 3, compared to Max's 1 and Kel's 0. Bao and Lea dont have numbered clearance, so 3 might be the highest "regular" lvl, with everyone above that being fully in the know.

(its burry but you can make out "LEVEL 3" just above the name section)

and like. that just Fucks Me Up. because imagine how she mustve felt when Kel was shipped off to his death and she couldnt do anything about it, cant talk to anyone about it, without risking her own death. she sends Kel gifts, little notes, and begs him not to die. but she knows.

baking those croissants with Max, listening to her talk about plans for what the three of them will do once Kel comes home, and she can only sit and smile and play pretend. she buys him the best packaged sushi she can find, because she knows it could very well be the thing that keeps him sane just a little longer. telling him that theyll listen to some of the nicer sounding signals once he comes home. but she knows.

does she blame herself? staying up at night, pondering what she could have done, how she couldve saved him. knowing there was nothing she couldve done. blaming herself regardless.

It’s based off of the nebo davinci 3500, a flashlight that I personally use pretty often and has held up shockingly well.

A quick rundown of what you need to know about the server EternityDev and the useless moderation that ignores it while online.

Old good artists who once appeared on the art channel have stopped posting their art there. Now you see why.

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?
