„ Sir „ The Alien Asked His Commander

Do you ever realize that a hundred years or more from now , there will probably be a remake of your favorite show, new films based on the same stuff and new fan fiction that you are never going to see ? It’s rather sad.

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.

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 .

Run

And then I ran . Why did I run ? You see sometimes you run just so . You’re simply going somewhere minding your own business and a wish rushes through you . You set of in a sprint . There’s no big reason behind it . You run to feel the wind on your face , to feel your hair jumping behind you in disarray , you run to feel how your heart starts pumping faster and faster , your legs weighting down . You run to feel yourself cut through time and space , even if just for an itsy bitsy tiny little part . You run to feel . Sometimes when I’m going home or from some errands usually im the evening , I set of in the quickest sprint I can manage , snaking my way through the people on the street and accelerating accelerating accelerating . Not because I’m a runner . I don’t go jogging in my free time at all , I don’t pursue it as sport . But I run because I can .

So you ever just notice that

„Finesse „

Is just one letter away from

„Fine~ass „

“It’s weird.”

“What’s weird ?“

“Humans have a closer relationship with the dead than they do with the living.”

“Elaborate on that.”

“Well did you ever notice how they honour their deceased?

“…”

“ They decorate the remains of the being and then put it in a wooden box. That wooden box they then proceed to put in a small stone monument with some identification of the human. Sometimes they burn them instead. It varies from culture to culture. After that they repeatedly visit the remains and … how should I vocalise that… relive the memories they shared with that being ?“

“ But doesn’t that destroy the natural cycle of returning minerals into the soil ?“

“ It does. It also damages their emotional sensors yet they still do it.

“ Huh.“

“ But it’s not just about the weird boxing ritual. It’s about the process altogether. Humans give much more value to death than they do to life.”

“Can you give an example ?“

“Plenty. Their soldiers, their authors. Even their friends. While alive they do indeed get acknowledged. But when they die that acknowledgment doubles, even triples in size. It seems humans are blind to most of their possessions and are only able to see them after their loss.

“ That is quite bizarre. But if I can give you a word of advice - do not get too close to human psychology. A lot of minds were lost that way. “

“ …..I will accost your concern.”

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 ...

Ok but do you really think Tenya Iida wouldn’t be a HUGE Optimus Prime fan ?

Think about it . The perfect idol . Has very rational sense, follows rules and handles with care and responsibility ( mostly ) .

Takes care of his friends and has a strong moral compass .

The costume .

The robot hands .

(Not to mention that transformers did originate out of Japanese toys )

Just think about it
