sisters, i'll never stop crying abt the Voyager space probe being a summonable entity in F/GO. it's launched in 1977, US pulled their troops out of the Vietnam War in '75, MLK was assassinated in the same year, the Cold War is called cold because they're not outright bringing out tanks and missiles but there's still tension present that anytime nuclear annihilation is a possibility (or else we don't get hit 1984 single "forever young" by alphaville). some places are still experiencing societal unrest. i can imagine that people were very weary. if you think about it, most of human history has never known universal or global peace, there's always a war or conflict somewhere.
but! but! but!!! very smart people purposefully decided that no record of war would be put in the Golden Record they put in a lonesome, spacefaring object. even if the Space Race was born of the tensions of the post-war world and into the Cold War, ultimately its legacy like the International Space Station (ISS) overtakes its period. they put music in it's vinyl code, they sampled "hello"'s from 6000 years ago up to the "now" then, a child's voice saying hi, they put different sounds from nature, they put SONGS!!! in there. voyager is never lonely when he has all these melodies and lullabies within itself. carl sagan put brain waves and heartbeats of his wife ann druyan into the golden record. quite literally, LOVE IS STORED IN THE VOYAGER.
is humanity so curious, so lonely for their collective puny hands to grasp into the darkness of the sea of stars? humans are social creatures and all that but people made an object specifically to be found by another intelligent life-forms. will someone somewhere, in the vastness of space find this space probe with a shining disc and they'll have a glimpse of humanity's ideals? or is voyager fated to be floating in the void for millions, billions of years to serve as our eyes and ears but never finding a destination and having an invincible object to carry before it crumbles, possibly, after humanity had perished? humanity's hopes and dreams are put into an object, a crystallization of scientific progress and cultural memory. voyager is never lonely, it always calls home and even if time will come that nobody home would answer, voyager could sing itself to sleep.
I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.
hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red
In the games, Maya would sometimes say, “We’re lawyers” and I always would go “no one in this game should be able to call themself a lawyer, especially you Maya.” Anyone who sees these videos probably thinks I don’t like Nick because I only exist to bully him. I love Nick. He’s great. He’s just so easy to bully.
Thank you to @themornal and @8edhead for doing the voice work again!

Every single cop show is like oh look how these cool badass protags just wanna do their job but the obnoxious pencil-pushers back at the office keep getting in the way by trying to make them follow due conduct and the very obvious criminal keeps maliciously obstructing them by invoking their legal rights and wouldn't they be able to do their job so much better and faster if they were allowed to just follow their gut and do whatever it takes to arrest the person they already pinned down as the dangerous criminal? And then people eat it up and go on the internet to make youtube comments about how refusing to speak with the cops without a lawyer is extremely suspicious behavior.
