A King Has No Sons, No Daughters, And No Queen. For This Reason He Must Decide Who Will Take The Throne

I think I’d like to make a movie about time travel, but as a murder mystery. The movie would follow some agents of a law enforcement agency that are investigating what appears to be a series of…cult murders? serial killings? They’re not sure, but bodies keep turning up with similar electrocution markings, and they’re investigating. They find this organization of people who believe they’re preventing the end of the world by sending people back in time–only you can’t physically travel through time. What you can do is send a consciousness, a life-force, back to a previous iteration of itself. Unfortunately, that means the person appears to die.There’s people in the organization who claim to have already been sent back, but y’know, crazy cultists! 

and they claim that effects of time travel are imperceptible to “people within the linear flow of time”  because as far as a normal person is concerned, anything changed by the time travel has always been this way. 

The investigating agents would eventually track down these crazy people and prevent them just before they “sent back” a whole task-force of people, and would pat themselves on a job well done. They did it! They stopped the murderers with delusions of time travel.

But the viewer, if they’re paying close attention, would notice inconsistencies–Things that, at first, could be passed off as continuity errors, but which would escalate until it was clear that something was off. Changes in routines, little alterations to the sets, hairstyle differences in characters…escalating to the point where some side characters are different people altogether. Nobody on-screen would react to these changes at all. 

And at the end of the move there would be this moment, maybe a back-of-shot news clip on a tv somewhere–that implied that the end of the world might just be near.

“No one came to Google to work on offensive military technology” 

- Vidana Abdel Khalek wrote in her mail resigning from Google on March 25 addressing to company leaders, including CEO Sundar Pichai, announcing her decision to quit in protest over Project Nimbus.

Seeing animated works like Spider verse and Arcane and you can just see how lack luster and boring all the character designs in Disney movies are, especially the women. Give me some bunny teeth, crooked teeth, give me freckles that aren't immediately aesthetically pleasing, wild hair, broad shoulders, fat arms, gimme a nose that's too large on her face, beauty through character rather than facial symmetry, perfection is alien and somehow mundane simultaneously, I want crows feet, laugh lines, a lazy eye maybe and ears that stick out i can't deal with soulless designs anymore

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

Okay, here's my idea:

The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.

Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.

And there's a perfect date for it coming up!

October 14th, 2066.

A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.

Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.

Even better: Charles isn't living 44 years. He'll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He's what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.

So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.

Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he's been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.

Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.
