Someone brought up that the babies could have just been cloned using hair/skin samples and “cartoon rules” and yeah… but that’s… less fun to imagine the details about lol

Hard to imagine the people on that ship experiencing pregnancy or childbirth, since they are insulated from all forms of friction or pain in human life. Anyway, we obviously need a Wall-E sequel to explain and address this

Wall-E makes a point of showing lots of babies on the ship, who seem to be raised entirely by robots. I can only assume that robots either facilitate sex between the humans who can barely move, or simply extract eggs and sperm to cultivate remotely, possibly without the humans even being aware of it

Yeah. I think it’s okay for characters to not know why they do things! Even for the author to not always know!

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

I think my writing tends toward “I never processed dad leaving”-style and I want to train it out of myself lmao

sixpenceee none the richer @kagredon.bsky.social · 1d

i think about this tweet a lot

tweet from @arod_twit:

"characters in tv shows are too self aware now! every emotional convo is like "i guess i yelled at you earlier because i never processed dad leaving" no!! no!!! flush someone's blood pressure medication because they called you lazy."

Fiona clears Taylor so easily as a pop-adjacent female songwriter it’s not even funny

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Last month, we made a pilgrimage to the new DARK UNIVERSE theme park land at Epic Universe Orlando. Our verdict? It rocks — but in a way that might not be sustainable.

Is the Dark Universe theme park too good to last?

It’s mainly that Wall-E himself doesn’t move me. His cloying cuteness is irritating. I’m glad my three-year-old likes it though.

Not sure what the story would even be in that case! To be honest my issues with the movie BEGIN with the cloying cuteness of Wall-E himself, regardless of the setting he’s in lol
