I swear to god I will have a functioning draft of the last chapter of TOWOID tonight if I have to stay up until 4 in the goddamn morning to pull it together
Yall the uprising newt sunglasses are literally 400 dollars what a ridiculous extra bro
Uprising Newt is besties with Elon Musk and Hannibal Chau and orders those awful drinks with flecks of actual gold in them.
If real Newt had met him at some point, he’d have hated him on sight and would have punched him within two minutes of meeting him.
Oh god it reminds me of that great fix where precursor!Newt is out at a club or something only now I’m imagining Elon smoking a joint there like the meme jfc
The club fic is here and is by @idonotbitemythumbatyou but honestly, yeah it makes total, 100% sense to me that Precursor Newt’s sunglasses cost so much (I’m almost surprised they don’t cost more) given that according to the art book he’s making a seven figure salary (which, as head of R&D at a military industrial complex company on par with a company like Lockheed or Northrup also makes perfect sense) and sorry I’m like physically restraining myself from doing Newt wealth meta right now but I really wanted to pop in and say where did you find the actual sunglasses they used for the movie because I need a knockoff version??
@linddzz pointed out ages ago that Jake and Amy in B99 have like the exact same ship dynamic as Newt and Hermann and now I 1) can’t unsee it 2) desperately want a B99 style take on Pacific Rim
“maybe if I check tumblr again, the story will finish writing itself”
*narrator voice* “the story would not, in fact, finish itself. Stories are passive objects, and will lie there like a dead fish unless a writer expends a great deal of effort* to bring them to any sort of a satisfying end”
*a word that here means ‘lying on the floor and crying’
