Husky on movies: Avatar: Way of Water (CW: Movie, spoilers, long)
Everything that follows is my personal opinion and is subject to change.
It was better than the first one. Some moments are more earned than others.
The opening recap established things decently, but really fucking quick. almost too quick. Guess they had to make time for the 3D justification shots where animals and weapons lunge out of the screen. Way too many of those. Spread out through the 3 hour movie, but enough to be noted. which means there was too much.
Col. Jarhead's abandoned offspring is a nice foil to Cpl Savior Smurf's kids. Who spend the entirety of the movie either in danger, in teen new school drama complete with abusive bullies, friendship attempts and constant grounding and parental disappointment.
If Boy Feral is going to save Col. Jarhead from a much deserved drowning (I really hope Stephen Lang is actually a woke, sane dude who can just act real good, cause Damn do i want him to just Die Already with every frame he is on screen. great villain) then I would've preferred the kid getting some human time, to contrast with the ALIEN aggressive combat behavior (which, lets be clear here: IS IN RESPONSE [defensive] TO THE COLONIALIST INDUSTIRALIZED EXPLOITATION of sacred, sentient animals, destruction of ancestral lands, theft of artifacts, indoctrination, kidnapping, and murder of children.) Instead I'm left feeling like he was betraying his adoptive family who was doing their best to care for him after they killed his father (during the 1st sky people assault)
That said. the human time he did seem to have seemed to be supportive enough. I mean, they let him run around outside as much as he wanted, and playing with all the much cooler kids who seem to take his adoption of their mannerisms and cultural cues in long, lanky stride, but not without teasing. which he accepts, cause its appropriative as hell, but its also something allowed for his own survival, because at least some of Smurf's family care about him, Smurf included, but that might be the Earther in the good corporal.
Crab Robot Subs deserve more honorable employment than... that.
Wasting those beautiful interstellar ships on landing in a gravity well seems... like the kind of short sighted thinking I've come to expect from capitalist who can't think past the next 3 months. They AREN'T DESIGNED for atmosphere you fucking clods! The crane system for lowering the drop pod was neat-ish (stole it from mars rovers, ats what you did, innit?)
Travel time between earth and pandora is 5 Terayears (I think) Cpl Smurf ran a year long campaign before RDA woke up Col Jarhead. Smurf's kids are Smurf the Oldest (RIP) Smurf 2 Emo Drift, Smurf the Grace, and Smurf the baby, who gets to be the cute hostage
Uncle James wants you to be sure you understand the using kids as leverage is wrong and he is going to hold as many handcuffed children under cgi gun barrels as it takes. And he'll burn a whole village down just to be able to have a kid say to his father "You're being a redhatter again, daddy"
Don't waste Miss Weaver's time on phony medical scares. Just give her control of the planet to start with and then she can be left to nerd out with Norm in peace. Girl just wants to science. Fund it and leave her TF alone
I super annoyed at the teasing out of the living computer/neural network that is Pandora. It's so bleedingly obvious and i just need uncle James to stop edging me with it.
I need a plush of the new space whale variant that just dropped. One big enough to push me off my own bed. Willing to trade oral.
Pandora 1: Clean power. Pandora 2: Live forever. Pandora 3: Breaking wind _better_ have the flying bird/dragon/gentle pacifist/sentient flying target that can turn me into my ideal girl by drinking his sperm or i'm going to wash my hands of the whole thing
I already kind of was cause they didn't bring back my girl Trudy and her pilot gum. (RIP)
CW: asking for help, stupid internet problems. Copying text from web forum to notepad++
I found some useful .lua that is all posted in a single line. which is super really hard to read. Trying to copy paste into notepad++ to edit it. Any way to make this easy? Like, turning single line lua into properly indented lua? is this a thing?
I did find a highlighter workflow, but it fails on the first step for me. not sure how to find out why.
The take of a single huskybot doesn't amount for a hill a beans in this town, Elsa. (CW:Thoughts on Twitter Feel Free to ignore)
-I like thinking about all the twitter users that flee to mastadon and find the communities they actually fit in and listen to. I like imagining only good outcomes for both them and the instances they end up making their homes.
-I hope trauma and harm is minimized from as many directions as possible.
Also, Hi to the new people!

CW: Bio, health, teeth, anxiety, Seattle area request for help, (redrafted)
I have anxiety about my teeth. when I'm really high, i can imagine my mouth is dying. it sucks. I have anxiety about dentist. They are all experts in guilt, no matter how gentle they try to be, and every visit is just excruciating.
I still need recs for one, though. I need a lot of work. Preferably one with the good machines and surgeons and the Good drugs. femme dentist preferred. Queer friendly preferred
Thanks,

@zetasyanthis please don't accept harmful treatment! You are worth of care that helps! Good lift, Safe landing!
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
