When ppl kno about ur depression and they randomly ask “are you okay? How are you doing?” In that special voice
Whats up u depressed bastard
this is preferable honestly
autistic bodhi rook??
- he has disorganized speech unless he’s talking about his SI in ships
- when he’s trying to communicate that he wants to talk to saw gerrera he’s all over the place
- towards the end where he just blurts things out to the admiral without making sure they make sense
- he can’t tell when people are lying/have ulterior motives
- he didn’t pick up on why cassian wanted to stop and “look”
- he also can’t read some more subtle nonverbal communication
- on eadu when cassian told him to leave, bodhi didn’t understand why hence the “we came here to look” “well i’m looking by myself”
- he’s really bad at lying
- com transmissions are hard for him unless he as a script, when he does have a script, like the scripts it takes to be a pilot he does fine
- when they’re leaving and he has to come up with a callsign, he keeps blanking and losing words and looking to jyn for prompting
- but when he’s getting into scarif he does fine because he’s used to the scripts for incoming ships
- he’s bad at controlling the volume and speed of his voice
- towards the end when he’s transmitting to the alliance and talking really fast
- towards the end when he’s talking really fast to the people on the ship with him
- towards the end where he starts yelling because he doesn’t think people understand him
- he also doesn’t always pick up on rhetorical questions
- when jyn says something like “who’s with me?!” and no one replies, except bodhi, who says “i am!”
- he makes noises sometimes as ways to show emotion without words.
- he also does a lot of gestures, like when he’s describing the master switch.
- his goggles could totally be some kind of comfort item because he barely ever takes them off
that’s all for now!! bodhi rook is autistic and i love him. please add stuff on if you want to!!
From Tape Drives to Memory Orbs, the Data Formats of Star Wars Suck (Spoilers)
My only problem with this otherwise brilliant article is that the author seems to have a comprehensive knowledge of data storage principles, and absolutely zero knowledge of people and organization’s interactions with same.
I mean, if you’ve worked IT for any length of time, tell me the idea of there being one copy of the death star plans, stored as 5000 .bmp images embedded in powerpoint with accompanying animations, doesn’t make a horrible kind of sense. Or that some jackass system admin wouldn’t design a data storage center where you have to physically walk tapes up to the roof because “well actually it’s more SECURE” with no consideration for usability.
#if your fictional government IT system doesn’t make you want to cry it’s probably not realistic (via @frozencapybara)
From Tape Drives to Memory Orbs, the Data Formats of Star Wars Suck (Spoilers)
Where are the fic where the super-slick super-spy is thwarted by their seduction target’s complete lack of self-esteem and inability to believe for one second that someone that hot wants to fuck them?
….
I don’t know if I need to read this or I need to write this, but I need this.
This desperately needs to be a thing.
OOoh, how about the complete lack of self-esteem and disbelief is married with cynicism…that there’s no way that this person wants to fuck them, they must want something,
And that’s when the spy takes it as a personal challenge. He can hear the suppressed laugher in his handler’s voice. They’ve never failed like this.It is ON.
I love this addition
Hand painted, exceptionally rare miniature
bat fan. On thin shaved wood. Circa 1900.i love this so much.
This is definitely an unnerving picture. The cooled lava almost looks like bodies.
At first I was impressed because I thought it was an art piece. Now I’m really impressed because Mother Nature is so metal.
The Very Hungry Rust Monster is a mini-comic I made a few years back. I’ve seen it floating around Tumblr without attribution recently, so I’ve uploaded a higher-resolution version, properly credited.
Humans Are Weird
So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather?
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.
To paraphrase one of my favorite bits of a ‘humans are awesome’ fiction megapost: “you don’t know you’re from a Death World until you leave it.” For a ton of reasons, I really like the idea of Earth being Space Australia.
Earth being Space Australia
Words cannot express how much I love these posts
Alien: “I’m sorry, what did you just say your comfortable temperature range is?”
Human: “Honestly we can tolerate anywhere from -40 to 50 Celcius, but we prefer the 0 to 30 range.”
Alien: “……. I’m sorry, did you just list temperatures below freezing?”
Human: “Yeah, but most of us prefer to throw on scarves or jackets at those temperatures it can be a bit nippy.”
Other human: “Nah mate, I knew this guy in college who refused to wear anything past his knees and elbows until it was -20 at least.”
Human: “Heh. Yeah everybody knows someone like that.”
Alien: “……. And did you also say 50 Celcius? As in, half way to boiling?”
Human: “Eugh. Yes. It sucks, we sweat everywhere, and god help you if you touch a seatbelt buckle, but yes.”
Alien: “……. We’ve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.”
“You’re telling me that you have… settlements. On islands with active volcanism?”
“Well, yeah. I’m not about to tell Iceland and Hawaii how to live their lives. Actually, it’s kind of a tourist attraction.”
“What, the molten rock?”
“Well, yeah! It’s not every day you see a mountain spew out liquid rocks! The best one is Yellowstone, though. All these hot springs and geysers from the supervolcano–”
“You ACTIVELY SEEK OUT ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANOES?”
“Shit, man, we swim in the groundwater near them.”
Sounds like the “Damned” trilogy by Alan Dean Foster.
“And you say the poles of your world would get as low as negative one hundred with wind chill?”
“Yup, with blizzards you cant see through every other day just about.”
“Amazing! when did you manage to send drones that could survive such temperatures?”
“… well, actually…”
“… what?”
“…we kinda……. sent……….. people…..”
“…”
“…”
“…what?”
“we sent-”
“no yeah I heard you I just- what? You sent… HUMANS… to a place one hundred degrees below freezing?”
“y-yeah”
“and they didn’t… die?”
“Well the first few did”
“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?”
My new favorite Humans are Weird quote
“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE?”
aka The History of Russia
aka Arctic Exploration
aka The History of Alaska
‘But surely you have records of volcanic activity doing tremendous damage to human settlements.’
‘Yep. Pompeii is legendary. Entire cities went. Towns buried under lava, peoples’ brains boiled in the first rush of heat, loads more killed by falling pumice.’
‘ah, good, they learned their lesson and didn’t build there again.’
‘…well…’
‘Are you seriously telling me this volcano is legendary for killing several urban conurbations and you built on top of it AGAIN?’
‘In our defence it hasn’t actually done it since.’
‘What about earthquake-prone areas? Tell me you’re at least vaguely sensible about those.’
‘Oh yeah. After the first major earthquake that flattens a city, we build them better.’
