The way that Aabria has perfectly crafted the progression of this story is so good. The slow reveals and character development. The set pieces and projections on the dome. It’s all so fucking good and I can’t wait for the last episode
MCAT jumpscare at the next episode preview. Why Brennan why??? I watch D20 to get away from the MCAT! Why would you do this to me?
Having people accept and accommodate my autism is the best feeling. I love finding a quiet corner to sit in with my other autistic friends, but when it’s neurotypical friends, it means even more. They aren’t doing this for them, but only for me. I used to (and often still do) think of myself as less than because of my autism and other mental illness, but this helps me remind me that I’m not. Yes, I’m disabled but that doesn’t make me weird or worse.
can you infodump to me? (i love you) is this overwhelming? (i love you) is this the right texture? (i love you) is it ok to touch you? (i love you) do you want the subtitles on? (i love you) do you want to go somewhere less noisy? (i love you)
I’m writing an essay about dropout and how it’s different than other streaming platforms, but it means I need to seriously write in an essay that I will turn in to my professor for a grade “in the episode ‘hot dog wrapped in ham’ Mulligan talks about his work on the Occupy Wall Street movement…” and I need to find a way for this to sound serious
The vulture dimension?
The fucking VULTURE DIMENSION????
I have three exams before now and next episode, but all I can think about is vulture dimension. About to fail every class.
How can I function when vulture dimension is just out there?
I can’t. The answer is I can’t.
Every episode I think “surely, things will get better. Surely, they—at the very least—cannot get worse.” Every episode I am somehow proven incorrect
Mac is great representation actually because gay people can also be stupid and terrible and I think it’s important to not set our standards too high. Maybe I can’t be great, but I can sure be better than Mac
Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.
That moment when Joel tries to get up and Ellie thinks he’s going to be able to because he’s her dad and all dads are invincible.
Until they aren’t.
Every child eventually learns their parents are people.
It happens for some more dramatically than others I suppose.
True love is actually sending your best friend a photo of your tongue asking “is this normal? You know we’re close when I can do this” and receiving a photo of her tongue back with the caption “Ugh. Mouths are ugly. I love you too.”
Imagine for a moment you’re one of Lou Wilson’s new neighbors. This guy moves in driving the joker-mobile. He gives you his number and when your call goes to voicemail you’re treated to a full gospel choir. One day you catch a glimpse through his window and he’s just scratching hundreds of scratch-off lottery tickets. He owns two jet skis.
