We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Thrive to spite them

I started watching The Expanse because of the talk here. So far I'm only on Season 1 Episode 3 because there is a lot going on and it's not something I can just burn through.

Unlike, say, Shameless which I kind of tripped into for Ian/Mickey and have pretty much just watched that and just skimmed a lot of the show.

I was binging killjoys but I can only watch so many episodes in a row before I have to take a break from it it , I like the characters but there's something about it that's too much and gets kind of irritating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was just thinking about how much I like the characters on Killjoys but not necessarily the plots. The attempts to be epic and sweeping got overwrought and were, for my money, unnecessary.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

James Holden: "There was a button. I pushed it."

Fucking Holden, honestly. (I genuinely do appreciate Ty and Daniel's willingness to let their main protagonist be SUCH an epic fuckup. Like yes, he usually ends up being the hero, but most of the time it's just because he can't help poking things until they fall apart.)

Also FYI, there is low-key LoTR/Expanse fanfic happening on their Twitter feed and it is awesome: [link]

For a genetically engineered designer baby, Holden is...well, if there was an Expanse-themed tarot deck, he'd be The Fool

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I have IRL human friends who named a baby Holden just the day before yesterday and I'm seriously considering embroidering this on something for him. Thanks for solving my baby gift dilemma!

I just wrote "I'm good either way" to a coworker regarding a reporting process but what I heard in my head was Amos saying "I'm down for whatever"
