When a sci fi nerd is given a slime assignment in chemistry class…
Got these little guys on a super sale yesterday. Perfect timing for Bill Paxton’s birthday!
That W feeling when you buy a one of a kind item and you go back to check on it (to admire ofc) and it says “sorry, this item is sold”. Like, YEAH BITCH THAT WAS MEEEEEE, IM SO SPECIAL
hello fellow alien fan... would you be at all interested in exchanging thoughts about this iconic film franchise? need to talk about it fr
Hello there! Thanks for reaching out. I have way too many thoughts about the franchise but feel free to DM me if you have specific questions as well.
It’s def my favorite franchise and the first film is tied at my first favorite movie (tied with Carol [2015]).
Ripley is obviously my favorite character but I adore every character in the original.
Love Aliens a lot and I have a soft spot for Alien 3 a lot.
I own the original three on VHS cause why not, I do a lot of artwork based on it, have WAY too much merch from it, have a tattoo from it, own the soundtrack as well, and just convinced my orchestra director to let us do the main theme from the first movie this spring for our concert! So yeah, you could say I understand your obsession.
My Alien Franchise hot take is that Clemens and Ripley (Alien 3) are a better couple than Hicks and Ripley (Aliens).
I’ve played the video game, of course, and it’s what helped me and my girlfriend really bond when we first met at music camp. She’s bought me way too many things from Alien, even making me an anniversary card with a Xenomorph drawing on the front!
I’m in love with Ellen Ripley and my crush on Sigourney Weaver is what first turned me onto the franchise so thanks, Siggy!
Anyways, I rambled but you asked for it! Let me know if you have any thoughts or other questions, I love talking about this topic!
Here are some of my alien franchise shenanigans
Ummm so I watched The Gorge just for Sigourney a little while ago.
I liked it! Not great as a film but it was fun, and they severely underused Sigourney…
New Nostromo Crew Shoes!
The ones on the left are off brand converse I got at Walmart (I got them for Halloween but they aren’t accurate or well made enough)
The ones on the right I got off eBay cause I have been looking for PF Flyers forever!! Super happy with the look.
Fortnite
Resident Evil 2
I feel like both of these are not bad. Not great but they're passable. Even THIS is better than Dead By Daylight though...
I'll be posting a poll on which video game Ripley you guys like the most if you're interested in that
I checked off all of these in all seriousness. I think all of this is valid for this video.
She’s absolutely stunning in this interview about Helmut Newton
Hopefully I can get the real belt someday
Edit: I got the real belt for christmas!
