I’m Brazilian and my strongest memory relating to a roundabout was when me and my family were walking near my grandparent’s house. My little brother asked what the circle in the ground was and my dad explained the concept of a roundabout, “you’re supposed to go around it, so the road is more organized, look, there’s a car coming, you’ll see how it works” and that car just. Fucking ran over it. Dude just went forward like the road was straight. We never saw anyone do that again and I’m still not over it

But have we considered how actually terrified peter b has to be here?

Like, he introduces miguel as his friend. We see he was there when miguel’s universe fell apart. Miguel puts up with him bringing mayday everywhere and letting her climb all over everything. These 2 had to have been actually close.

So of course peter knew that miguel was going to talk to miles, maybe he knew miguel would say mean shit to him, but this is a face of genuine surprise. Not even the person arguably closest to miguel knew he would (or even could) act like this. Like, look at him!! Hes terrified!! The man he was there for during an entire universe’s collapse, the man he considers a friend, the man he let hold his baby, is capable of doing this!!

So I’m hearing somebody tried to visit the Titanic and it didn’t go well.

I cannot emphasise this enough, because people in general are just not aware of what the the sea is like: the Titanic is not just “in the sea”. It’s not just “on the sea bed”.

The Titanic is sitting on the part of the sea bed so unimaginably remote from our world, so barren, so impenetrably dark, so crushingly hostile, that it is called - in technical terms -

THE ABYSSAL PLAIN

Like, that’s not hyperbole or metaphor or any sort of poetic language. That’s just what it’s called, because that’s what it is. The endless, flat, featureless plain at the bottom of the Abyss. The actual literal Underworld.

Nobody goes to the Abyssal Plain. Ever wondered why it took so long to find the wreck? Because Nobody. Goes. There. It is not our world. The very rare expeditions - mostly unmanned - are a huge deal. They are Perilous Undertakings. Those fabulous high-tech submarines that the Navies have, the ones that can lurk for months underwater without needing to surface? They don’t go down there. They can’t. They would be crushed like a can underfoot.

The idea of somebody trying to go on a merry jaunt to see the Titanic is on the same level as when Wallace and Gromit decided to take a day trip to the Moon. Except the Moon is in many ways friendlier than the Abyss.

the symbolism of billionaires willingly paying some greedy tech bro 250k to go sit in his backyard shed built tin-can submarine to find a sunk mass grave site of over a thousand people (many whom died solely due to being poor or third class passengers) only to become missing and likely lost at sea themselves is the type of karma you usually never get to see play out so perfectly
