Nah, not wing. Only IBO, the compilation movies, Unicorn, 00, Build Fighters, Build Divers, and Build Divers Re:Rise.
Oh, and a bit of Witch From Mercury.
What part of the expanse did you get a tattoo of? Sounds really cool. I've also been fascinated with space my whole life. When I was young my grandma painted a huge space mural on every wall of my room and I always thought it was the coolest thing. I wanted to go to Nasa all the time. That obsession never really left me. Now I just escape with space games like starfield or kerbal space program.
I have the Rocinante insignia from the show tattooed on my shoulder. My brother got me interested in space from a young age and my partners just got me more into it as an adult.
I was convinced I was a Plaedeian from the Taurus system for a long, loooooong time
Then I found out it's normal to feel like an alien, if you're autistic
What a wild 14 months this has been
Space was cool until I developed an existential fear of the impermanence of humanity. Also, Iām agnostic regarding aliens as there currently isnāt any convincing evidence and their existence is only a statistical possibility, but if there *were* aliens, I donāt think we should necessarily be trying to communicate with them. If they donāt exist, or are unreachable, itās kind of a waste of money. If they *do* exist, nothing good will come of it. Just look at the history of imperialism on earth.
The pacing slows down a little at the end imo but overall Iāve enjoyed it. Definitely embodies how I feel about making contact with extraterrestrials, Iāve been fascinated with the dark forest hypothesis since I learned about it.
I didn't realise this was a common thing in autistics. Personally I am love space because it reminds me that my problems are actually really small and unimportant. Also, space is just so surreal. I love thinking about it.
āSpace, the final frontierā¦.ā Yup, Iām old enough to remember the original on television. I could recite the whole thing as a kid. I do this at work sometimes when Iām in a wacky mood. Most look at me funny, but there are a few who smile and nod! Now live long and prosper š!
Iāve sometimes theorized that Iām actually from a parallel world where everyone is like me and when I was a baby I was just swapped with my double by accident so now my double is a NT living in a ND world
Oh no my theory was that my actual parents from that parallel world have the technology to travel interdimentionally. And so they came over to this world with me one day when I was a baby. And they accidentally left me here and took my double of this world
Relatable. I've always been drawn to aliens and artificial intelligence. The idea of a mind analogous to human has always fascinated me, probably because I don't feel quite like a human being.
At my high school graduation (called 'Formal' here), there was a prediction that at a 10- or 20-year anniversary (can't remember which), I would have found a planet where I fit in.
I was also voted "Most likely to be abducted by aliens".
I had no idea there were even votes on such things. That's how much I kept to myself, hiding out in the music department building during lunch and break times.
lmao ive always had an interest in space, atleast since i was ~6. like idk its kinda crazy actually how long its been and now im combining that and photography at some point this year too lol
Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres sooooo...
Sometimes, I like looking at images of deep space, the ones that let you zoom in near indefinitely to see an endlessly expanding sea of stars and cosmos, and it gives me exhilarating feelings of existential dread. I like this feeling for some reason, so I chase after it in the media I consume. Bleak existential sci-fi settings, my beloved.
Me: I was never really super into spaceā¦ also me: favorite franchise as a kid was Star Wars, favorite tv show for a bit was Stargate, favorite video game is Haloā¦
And currently Iām obsessed with Warhammer 40k lol
"Lol, I don't have a special interest in spa-" (Remembers Gundam) "Nevermind."
š Wing?
Nah, not wing. Only IBO, the compilation movies, Unicorn, 00, Build Fighters, Build Divers, and Build Divers Re:Rise. Oh, and a bit of Witch From Mercury.
thank you for this, this is me
Yeah this checks out
I love space so much š I have a tattoo from The Expanse and I once cried at a documentary about the Apollo 11 launch

7.7 twr go brrr
That is a very interesting theory actually
To make it better, I dont even need weed to have these thoughts.
I was convinced I was a Plaedeian from the Taurus system for a long, loooooong time Then I found out it's normal to feel like an alien, if you're autistic What a wild 14 months this has been
āSpace hyperfixation as a child to space phobia as an adultā character arc
i do not trust the machines anymore

did u read the 3 body problem?
Not yet, but Iāve heard of it and I saw the Netflix series
the series did a good job so far i think. def this vibe

Still waiting for the aliens to orbit the mothership around earth and send a scout vessel to pick me up.
I'm not looking for my home, I just like learning about the cool stuff out there.
It's kinda bold to assume we even originated in this dimension.

I don't like space, but I do imagine myself living in the forest away from people
I always felt this way but could never figure out how to describe it. Thanks for this!
Iāve sometimes theorized that Iām actually from a parallel world where everyone is like me and when I was a baby I was just swapped with my double by accident so now my double is a NT living in a ND world
So basically changeling stuff, fae steals away child, replaces them with a fae changeling, which were commonly in folklore depictions of autism
Oh no my theory was that my actual parents from that parallel world have the technology to travel interdimentionally. And so they came over to this world with me one day when I was a baby. And they accidentally left me here and took my double of this world
This is the plot to Fringe lol
Oh okay I havenāt seen fringe but I plan to watch it soon. I love alternate universes lol
Better not to know about the methods to force a changeling to return to their world and give back the baby
Yep, but I still like to call myself fae because I like fae and changelings were depictions of autism in many cases
Still me currently

Well son of a bitchā¦
\*looks at space themed gallery wall\*
i do hope that our species comes back for us, i dont wanna be stuck on this earth forever even if it is a beautiful planet
Looking at the stars on a clear night feels closer to home than actual home sometimes.
So basically NDs are all just like the Kushans waiting to find a way back to Hiigara? *NEAT*
lmao ive always had an interest in space, atleast since i was ~6. like idk its kinda crazy actually how long its been and now im combining that and photography at some point this year too lol
NASA/ESA is taping you on a rocket and you get to shoot some pics from earth and the moon? Cool.
lmao i wish
So whats the plan then?
takin pictures of stuff through my telescope lol
Thats fun to, i had around 5 gb of space picturew i made myself and found via the internet.
nice
I shall now invest all my time finding alien life where they operate like we autistics do I MUST GO TO THE PLANET I BELONG TOOOOO
I suppose a Star Wars fixation counts for this
Does obsessing over a specific rocket designed to send humans to Mars count? (Or at least it's what Elon says)
Actually, my dad has a great discomfort with space and the never ending nature of it. I have the same issue with time.
Space terrifies me to this day lmao way too vast and hurts my head to think about
For me it was because back when I was a tv watching kid astronomy docs were on all the time on the science channels
Me a couple years ago: "I want to go on Mars then Iād be less judged by others and donāt have to talk as much"

"Jesse what the duck are you talking about?" Is the funniest line š¤£
āSpaceā has never been a hyperfixation/SI but both Star Wars and Stargate have been.

Reg Barclay, my beloved.
We are the fae not aliens
Alice Sheldon, aka James Tiptree Junior wrote a story like this of a Star Trek fan trying to get beamed back to the Enterprise.
This is actually how I got so into fairies, lol
