Only Murders in the Building ━ 3x02 "The Beat Goes On"
Today or this noon
She dwelt so close,
I almost touched her;
Tonight she lies
Past neighbourhood—
And bough and steeple—
Now past surmise.
- By Emily Dickinson
been rotating this quote from Diaspora by Greg Egan around in my mind
"Conquering the galaxy is what bacteria with spaceships would do – knowing no better, having no choice."
It so neatly encapsulates my disgust with the idea of space colonization. Why do you presume that unchecked exponential growth is the only fate we can choose?
There’s this dark figure that makes me feel fear and lust in immense amounts that appears in my dreams weekly and I’m convinced he’s my darkness like this dude owns my soul
also i'm such a gemma girlie. i don't mean in relation to mark or vs helly i don't care about any of that i'm a gemma girl forever. it's me and her. what if you thought you were eurydice until the last second until you turned around just in time to realize you were orpheus
poppy and ian's dynamic is so compelling, but not in an 'i ship them ' kind of way. they're coded romantically (always being compared to a couple going through a divorce, king and queen, paralleled to doc and beans + dana and rachel, both actual couples) but i also can't see them becoming a couple nor do i want them to. on one level i do think they're sort of soulmates, not in a 'fated to be together' way but more of a ' the way we developed as people throughout our respective childhoods, and then the way we grew together has resulted in us being the only two people who fully understand each other best and mean the most to one another' (the good place soulmates aren't found they're made etc). they're not in a romantic relationship but theyre clearly the most important person in the world to one another which is so refreshing in that it's so rare to see that outside of a romance. they're insane and they hurt each other all the time and yet they remain emotional core of the show. im sure there's some people who ship them but they're already so entertaining to watch have such a unique dynamic that i can't imagine wanting anything more out of their relationship than is already onscreen. i love them so much.
