The image of grandmas and grandpas in comfy sneakers with pullovers going around like some drug dealers and time to time saying “sheesh”, “wassup “ and “ yeet yourself (Johanna )“ ( as the image of this generation getting older ) brings me joy ,
and makes me question our original purpose even more ...
„Calm day at sea „

„when you swim and something touches your leg so your mind comes up with this „
I just realized
The 3 Swedes in the Umbrella academy , are like the 3 Swedes in the novel “ The Beach “ by Alex Garland .
( Spoilers )
Even their fate is similar . Out of the 3 , one survives and two die .
The “ complicated “ones are the most simple to understand once you crack them . They are complicated in the way everything is, with traits, fears, trauma, history . Yet once you crack them it is pretty easy to see where everything is coming from .
It’s the “ simple “ ones that break you head. Because from the outside they are nothing but a clear, allowing you to perceive them as something simple. Yet when you get to know them, their thoughts and motives turn out to be more twisted and weird than the “ complicated” ones. Their world looks out of place, messed up. But how if they seemed so simple ?
I feel like this is both about people , characters and lego.
Another “ humans are weird idea “
Imagine how the aliens would react to Halloween decorations.
Like , they come to visit and everything is going fine , humans are so interesting , look mostly kind and not threatening. And then they just see how a human begins to decorate their house with dead caskets of humans and other parts . Of course they notice it’s fake but still the fact that these beings just casually drop off the representation of a dead human somewhere around their living habitat and seem to enjoy it ..... horrors aliens .Not to mention some other humans that buy specialy made food that looks like - their- organs ,and eat it .
„ Sir „ The alien asked his commander
„ Why are humans considered one of the most dangerous species ?
They do not posses any special powers ,
They are dependent on so many factors to live
They are fleeing , their lifespan isn’t more than 2 centuries ? “
The commander stayed still . After a long pause , in which the alien soldier already admitted defeat he spoke :
“ Because they learn not to fear death.
Not all of them . But some.
They overcome the biggest unknown the universe offers . They simply conquer it . They risk their life’s for war , for emotions , sometimes even for fun. Fully aware that their one chance is so insignificant . Fully aware they might not live to even a century .”
The commander turned towards the soldier .
“ No other species has ever learned that. Even our race , that lives for millions of years , shivers and screams as the dark void that consumes everything comes to get us.
Humans are terrifying because they play with that void on a daily basis. Some of them even long for it.
Can you imagine , soldier ?
A human could live for only 20 solar circles and long for the unknown void . How could it feel so much in such short time span ? How could it look the horror that the unknown brings and reach out for it ?”
The aliens eyes widened, and he stepped back
“ Everybody fears the void . It’s impossible not too” He didn’t fully believe his commander . Yet he couldn’t deny the insanity with which humanity moved forward .
The commander made a sound that was considered a chuckle in their race .
“ Say that to the next human you meet and watch, how they defy that in every way .”
What if the plague doctor poking stick was used for something else ...
If you don’t have anyone to doubt ya , start doubting yourself to prove yourself wrong .
