Inner Ramblings Unleash

his shows, done in collaboration with 3 other artists, can be found here

so many book romances begin because the characters find each other hot, and personality crushes develop (maybe) later (if we're lucky). bluesey did it the other way around. and that's why i love them so much.

it's also important to note that blue's personality is very much not stereotypically feminine. she is entirely self-sufficient and independent, and it's clear that she is in control of her feelings for gansey; if he were to be manipulative or dismissive toward her, she would simply walk away! she is perfectly okay being on her own, and she's not going to take anything from anyone just because they're pretty! and gansey is still down bad for her.

all of the characters use they/them pronouns, there is not a single gendered term in the whole show

Brian David Gilbert was one of the show's writers!

the song in the credits of the finale, which was written for the show, Everybody's Dead by David Michael Loucks is unironically really good, it doesn't seem to have been officially released yet but someone did upload the song on youtube

one of the character deaths actually brought me close to tears, I'm being so serious

Rereading the scene where they talk to Redell in the Auckland prison, Stratt shows such distain for Redell and how his negligence killed 7 people. She doesn’t let him make excuses and try and worm his way out of it. To her, he as the leader of the project has a responsibility toward those people and he failed, and in doing so killed them.

Every other action she takes has purpose. Every death that may be caused by those actions is counterbalanced by thousands of lives it saves. She can live with those decisions, because she knows they had to be made.

The lab explosion never should have happened. It was a mistake on the part of the quartermaster, but if there were additional safety protocols in place, it is a mistake that likely could have been prevented. I don’t think there’s any way that Stratt feels anything other than personally responsible for it.

She was negligent in her duty to ensure the safety of everyone working under her and the project itself, and because of that 14 people died. 14 people who did not need to die, whose deaths did nothing to save humanity.

Not only that, but the events catalysed the need to send the one person she’d let get closer to her to his death.

Ohhhhhh, you're about to go test something extremely dangerous? A cataclysmic failure condition? Sure, let's put both science specialists in a room together while this happens.

The particular outcome that we got -- that they happened to both be present at the point of a terrible accident -- was an unlikely but foreseeable outcome of them spending all their free time hanging out together. Like that was the explicit reasoning for the two teams not taking transport together.

- they’re Opawz pet specific dyes. Non toxic made specifically for dogs. Once they’re set and rinsed they can groom themselves normally, they pose no danger to her in any way, no fumes, there’s no bleach involved

- my dog is trained with cooperative care skills, the process is not stressful for her, she gets paid heavily for her cooperation and looks forwards to the opportunity to earn extra snacks with the grooming
