rewatched interstellar tonight and. humanity is saved not because we allow ourselves to be emotionally distant and rational and logical and care for the greater good, humanity is saved because of love. because one guy loved his daughter enough to communicate with her over space and time and she loved him enough to understand. the idea that there is a future humanity out there that is looking back at us and saying I love you. I love you enough to bend a dimension you do not yet understand to save you. Everything is about love.

GTKTM: FAVORITE TV SHOW/FILM PER MEMBER ↳ INTERSTELLAR (2014) — by Anna (@muldery)

We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us.

- interstellar, 2014

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.

INTERSTELLAR (2014), dir. Christopher Nolan

En Español: Aquí

I present to you Valeria Alba Ramírez Bravo, a 32-year-old woman who lives in the Interstellar Era a thousand years in the future, who works as a humble teacher and lives her day to day as if it were Monday.

I was playing without knowing what to draw and between strokes I created her. I really liked how her design turned out and I was also inspired to give her a little story.

At the moment I only have some basic data, but maybe it will extend the universe of it.

I hope you like it and happy weekend (ouo)/

deeply disturbed by that one specific feeling after you’ve seen a really good movie (maybe it’s not “good” but you get the point). it’s just like im way too full of love and thoughts and yet im also gapingly empty and hyperaware of my place in existence at the same time, and im pretty sure i’ve unlocked a secret of the universe that i couldn’t explain to anybody else if i tried. and yeah i will forget what it is by tomorrow but from now on, anything that reminds me of that one movie and the way it left me changed inside will always just have this unplaceable emotion attached to it. weird

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

Round 2!

Excerpt from the Intergalactic: Unrest on the Frontier

In an interview with the Intergalactic, David Randal (photographed above in his Exo-Multiplatform Unit, or EMU) expressed the viewpoints common amongst spacers in these trying times. “It’s hard work, work that can kill or maim with even the greatest in safety tech. And out here, on the frontier? We’re undersupplied, practically forgotten about. Now rumors of war, whispers of aggressive aliens? The Company has practically abandoned us to the Deep Black.”

Tensions continue to mount as protests Galaxywide have spread to nearly five hundred systems now. We reached out to Haven-Uros-Iln Industries for commentary, and respectfully received none.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as of now, you no longer exist. You are not dead, you are not ex-communicated, you are not black operations— you simply do not exist. Mountains of documents that once demonstrated your reality: erased. Relationships with family, friends, lovers, children: erased. As of now, and from now until your deaths, you are nonexistent persons. So perfectly vanished that your oblivion will and has always been the truth. Erased.

You will never set foot on the Earth again. On this day, your loyalties previous to the Mission are abolished. Your identities wiped away like dreams upon waking because that’s all that your life was prior to this undertaking, a pitiful and muted dream, tiny to the vastness before you now. Your oaths prior are void. No longer do you serve earthly nations, no longer are you submissive to it’s whims or gravities.

Today and from now onward, you have a new purpose. A new design sovereign of anything you could possibly imagine back on the Earth. You have been selected because of what you proved you could be, who, you proved you could be. Exceptional. Dedicated. Adaptable. Superiors to the people far below us. This Mission will test you beyond your limitations, however higher they may be to those from before. Some of you will not survive. The Void is harsher than any terrestrial nightmare, uncaring and cold to your survival, your every living need. It will take without mercy.

Look before you. Out into the Dark. Secrets, mysteries, and powers lie far beyond the comfort of our Sun that are inconceivable, greater than any miracle or terror our ancestors could imagine. Greater than anything the many of the Earth can handle. You will be the Vanguard of Humanity, Wardens of the Solar System traversing the stars to ensure our ascendancy.

Welcome aboard the ISV SOVEREIGN, Captain Hawthorne, out.”

Reptilians/Saurians - Ancient earthly civilization of intelligent dinosaurs. Master manipulators of biology and genetics, dwell mostly underground or in jungle/desert environments. Utilize biotechnological advances made from living organisms, strictly hierarchal and warlike, but honorable, and intelligent.

Architects/Ancients - Mysterious constructors of immense megaliths on Earth, across the System, and across the galaxy. Structures seem to activate for various purposes, and are extremely advanced, almost magical. No one has ever observed an actual Architect..

Elders(?)- Another very old civilization. Considered the progenitors of mankind. Very obviously related to us, and often adopt lofty personas and behaviors to lord over their creations and their worlds. Excessive, gluttonous. Prone to destroying the life they create out of spite when they are surpassed. Essentially vampirish and elvish, but from space.

Formics/Colony/Brood - Galactic locust-horde, wandering across the stars, hungrily consuming all matter to make more of themselves. Live in gigantic swarms of moving converted planets, vessels, asteroids, comets, etc. Despite their seemingly mindless conversion, the Brood demonstrates complex and intelligent behavior that showcases a deep hive-minded structure coupled with intensive, adaptive individual personalities that manifest as exceptional beings within the colonies. These individuals seem separate from the basic drone-worker rank and file with personal behaviors, ornate armor, and more. The amassing of their species on Earth and bizarre defensive structures pointed skyward seem to indicate they’re running from something with a bigger appetite than themselves..

Greys - Small, seemingly cybernetic brings that are known for abductions. Common on Earth, and considered a basic phenomena in the daily lives of people on Earth, even prior to Contact. Small Greys, Tall Greys. While rarer, it is known that an organized, or supposedly militaristic, faction does exist, with uniforms, weapons, and all. Their exact purpose on Earth seems to be hidden from those they take, as it is known and common for Greys to often mislead those they abduct. The immense hatred of Greys by nearly all extraterrestrial factions on Earth seems to speak to some vast, horrid crime or agenda. Huh.

Overlords - Despite the name, Overlords are generally diminutive beings, smaller than the average Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Despite their almost laughable size, Overlords are the ultimate psychic and psionic brings. Their manipulative minds can shatter even the powerful psychological technology of the Greys with utter ease. They are considered nightmarish thought-beings, creatures that harvest the minds and consciousness of intelligent species for nefarious, unthinkable processes that remain unseen in the depths of their labyrinthine configurations. It is known that beyond them is a colossal apparatus at work across the cosmos, hungrily draining the terrors, thoughts, and minds of every thinking world in their path..

Automatons/Machinations/Constructs - The churning clanking and clattering of these living devices is an unsettling roar across the most desolate regions of the Earth. No one actually knows how, or when, or why these mechanisms have manifested on Earth. Their complex, orbiting, flowing metal-light bodies crackle with lightning and plasma. They bear weapons that can effectively, completely erase one from existence, particle by particle. Their structures gnaw at spacetime; clockwork fortresses that summon colossal automaton lords. As of now, everyone leaves these guys alone.

Aurora/Essences - Living energy beings, and worshipped by crystal-clutching clergies and cults. Although they’ve got a quirky following, the Auroras are essentially harmless wanderers, living and thinking particle winds that have seen billions and billions of worlds across immense eons.

Nordics/Arayans - Bone-pale, beautiful, immortal blonde haired people from beyond the stars. And genocidal annihilators who gifted Nazi Germany horrific weaponry against the Allies. When they finally learned of the defeat of their Earthly Champions, the Nordics decided they would finish the job Adolf couldn’t. Their lyrical, lovely voices are simply a poetic distraction from their omnicidal campaign they’ve carried out across the Orion Arm. Currently, they occupy much of Russia, working with the secretive Fourth Reich to eliminate all unclean from the Urals to Siberia. Extremely wanted war criminals by the Federation.

Atlanteans/Lemurians - Magical, prehistoric precursor humanity who dwells on sunken continents in the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Their technology manipulates the fundamental physical structure of water and ice, remaining unseen (and undisturbed) for millennia on the Earth.

Imperials/Royals - A collection of alien races from around the Milky Way currently in a severe civil war after the split between their Empire (the Void Emperor) and a ruthless royal family (The Line of Cygnus). Most species are non-human, and non-humanoid as well, via their origination outside of the Creator Sphere. The Royal Occupation of Earth has actively manipulated numerous earthly nations to support their battle against the Empire, promising technological magic and “enlightenment” for genetic material, resources, et all. Meanwhile, the Empire occupies a portion of at least every major body in the Solar System, almost laughably massive, but hasn’t attacked yet. Bureaucratic talks with the Federation continue.

Federation - Another collection of interstellar aliens. A well-to-do and extremely altruistic, but commanding, organization that does its best to manage galactic affairs. While their actions may be slow via lengthy paperwork and diplomatic organizing, the Federation is no laughing matter when it comes to business. Many galactic forces of serious ability defer to the Federation, and countless alien factions on Earth have come to at least attempt to respect the might of the Federation. Humanity generally likes these guys.

Holy Terror - A fanatical religious nightmare that slips through the Galaxy aboard gigantic, gothic Cathedral-Ships. Damp, gnarled interiors illuminated by black fire burning candles. Hallowed tremors echo, the music of terrible choirs. The religion of these horrid beings is poorly understand, but one thing is known: they will convert your civilization, or erase it. Conversion is a horrific process of mutilation, parasitic infestation, and outright consumption by undying powers housed deep in the bowels of those grotesque vessels. Erasure is equally brutal, with terrifying abominations unleashed to completely eradicate all life. The Fleet at Earth is said to be commanded by their God itself, and by the foul, obsidian flames that orbit that behemoth ship: it seems the stories are true..

Blue Sphere Alliance - “Spiritual” aliens who care about consciousness and freedom of their fellow Blue Sphere inhabitants. Funny enough, the Blue Sphere is a reference to a singular location in the Milky Way Galaxy almost entirely inhabited by multiple, intelligent, humanoid aliens. We, and almost all alien factions on Earth, represent natives to the Sphere. The Alliance desperately wishes to rejoin the Creator, the fabled maker of intelligent and humanoid beings in the Galaxy. On Earth, the Alliance is well-liked because of its physical efforts to ensure order and freedom continue to exist. Thanks to their intervention, things like cancer and malaria are memories of the past. Sadly though, war remains. Still working on that one.

Daemons/Demons/Archons - The Nine Archons. The ultimate evil currently present on the planet. Vast, unified hatred that commands a limitless army of demonic horrors who hunger for every soul and mind on Earth. The Dragon Army. Shivering, painful creatures who serve a terrible immensity older than time itself. Their ziggurats loom up out of the Mesopotamian desert, black as night, with gigantic triangular warships. Countess worshippers praise on those endless steps. Human and Alien alike fear what dwells in those leviathan tombs..

Watch "王曼齡 Lily Wong - Parallel Lines (Short Film)" on YouTube

A shorts written, designed, produced and shot by my sister Lily Wong. She's a one-man band!!!

Is it a music video? Is it a self-expressive work? Is it a form of video diary? Or, is it simply a work of art? 🤔🤔Who knows, perhaps it's all of these things.

Let's hear from the mastermind of it all:

"Hello all! This is my second short film piece inspired by the many sci-fi movies and novels I have loved and admired through the years. It is divided into five chapters accompanied by an all-music sort of narration from Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and Lo-fang. Hope you enjoy it! ☺️🙂" - Lily Wong

Enjoy!!!

The Ever-Faithful Robot

I love robots.

Like, I really love them; more than people, often.

They’re amongst my list of favourite things, along with dragons, lasers, dinosaurs, Christmas lights, and, peppermint.

Honestly, I want a Roomba JUST for it to be my cute little friend (because, honestly, I hear they’re not the greatest at actually vacuuming yet, but, I hear they’re developing new ones!)

Lucky for us, there have been some amazing robots is recent development and media, the most recent being the awesome robots in Interstellar, and, the adorable Baymax, of Big Hero 6.

Most robots are in at least one, if not more, of the following categories:

A) Adorable Robots

B) Past-Meets-Future Robots

C) Murderous Robots

The amazing thing about the robots in Intersteller is that they really challenged the usual robotic archetypes. They were fun, unique, smart, and refreshing.

However, we love our classically cute robots because we find their quirky personalities, and their flaws, endearing, and, we love the past-meets-future robots because it gives an intriguing contrast of time, and it gives us a sense of belonging and understanding in such an unknown period, the future. Also, it’s just funny to see what horrible technology people used to find futuristic. Despite how much I love blinking lights, why anyone thought literally walls of unlabelled blinking lights was the way of the future, I’ll never understand. Both categories give us a much needed break in tension, and often comedic relief. Space is a cold, brutal place, which usually breaks our hearts. So, we count on our dependable robots to get us through the dark times… Literally….

Whereas we love the quirky, childish tendencies of most robots, that appeal to our humanity, we ironically love the silent, oozing horror of the lack of humanity in murderous robots. They can’t be reasoned with, bargained with, bribed, starved, poisoned, and can survive without oxygen, a helpful quality for space, if they’re in space, which they often are. The thing about murderous robots is they’re such scarier in lesser numbers. Like with Alien, Terminator was horrifying because there was a SINGLE nearly invincible robot trying to hunt you. The war concept for Terminator was an interesting passing detail, but, the trailer for the newest Terminator movie, which inspired this post, made me realise why I lost interest in the series. It’s just a depressing war series now. I feel like the mystery and horror is gone. Jaws, Alien, Predator, Terminator, The Most Dangerous Game, and countless other horrifying stories leaned heavily on the idea that a single entity, or a small group, desires to hunt and destroy you, and has the overwhelming ability to. This style leans heavily on music, lighting, cinematography, directing, and more on what isn’t seen and what isn’t known, than what is. I feel this style is more interesting.

All in all, though, I love robots.

Especially Baymax. He’s friggin adorable. Definitely in the running for one of the cutest robots of all time.

Whether it’s the glimpses of humanity we look for in robots, or the lack thereof, robots are only going to become more and more of reality. They’re already changing the job market. What happens when most jobs are done by robots? Like it or not, they’re here to stay; don’t piss them off.
