NETFLIX’S ALTERED CARBON SENTENCE STARTERS

“ first thing you’ll learn is that nothing is what it seems. “ “ your body is not who you are; you shed it like a snake shedding its skin. “ “ that’s easy, i’m not real. what’s your excuse? “ “ one thing i can promise you: coming back from the dead is a bitch. every single time. “ “ no matter how tranquil the world seems, peace doesn’t last long. “ “ the instinct for violence curls inside like a parasite, waiting for a chance to feed our rage and multiply until it bursts out of us. “ “ war is all we really understand. “ “ the victors rewrite history. it’s another kind of war waged after the battlefield killing is done, to murder the memory of the defeated. “ “ mom said grudges are stupid. she said you had to let them go or else it would kill your soul. “ “ enough? it’s an interesting word. i’m not familiar with it. “ “ haven’t you heard? god is dead. we’ve taken his place. “ “ if you’re a god then what do you need me for? “ “ there are never moms in these stories. “ “ so you love your wife too much to fuck her? “ “ i certainly love my wife too much to let you fuck her. “ “ for children who were never allowed to grow up, greed isn’t the only motive for killing. “ “ i thought you didn’t want to own me. “ “ i will personally reduce this place to a smoking pile of rubble and you with it. “ “ let him believe you’re weak until the moment he discovers you’re not. “ “ there are some things you can’t kill your way out of. “ “ focus on what you care about the most with every atom of your existence. “ “ the mind does interesting things under extreme stress. “ “ how do i know you are who you are? “ “ when everyone lies, telling the truth isn’t just rebellion; it’s an act of revolution. so think carefully when you speak it, because the truth is a weapon. “ “ so i’m unconscious for ten fucking minutes and you start replacing my body parts!? “ “ a man who doesn’t love isn’t really a man. “ “ maybe we all fought for nothing. maybe you died for nothing. “ “ it is not our enemies that defeat us. it is our fear. do not be afraid of the monsters. make them afraid of you. “ “ i cannot speak for you, my friend, but i’m here to kick great amounts of ass. “ “ you may work for them, but you aren’t one of them. “ “ fearing death is good for you. “ “ that’s the hardest thing to get used to: nothing survives. “ “ i believe you’re my sister’s bitch. “ “ are you a believer? “ “ but when you believe a lie for too long, the truth doesn’t set you free. it tears you apart. “ “ i think your relationship with honesty is passing at best. “

Banana Smoothie (vegan)

I accidentally made this and I thought it would be disgusting but it’s delicious 

2 bananas 

7?? ice cubes

1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup soy milk

1 tbsp granulated stevia (or sugar, I just prefer stevia. Add more/less to suit you) 

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional. I’ve never made it with vanilla extract so don’t blame me if its trash.)

To make:

Throw it all into a blender while singing Fireflies by Owl City at the top of your lungs. 

Blend until it looks like a smoothie then pour it into a cute glass or just drink it straight from the blender. Just make sure the blender is off. 

After you drink it to do something you like or just sit on the floor and stare at the wall. 

Enjoy <3

Time is the greatest of all warriors. What it doesn’t destroy, it alters beyond recognition. Time tears down everything. We brace our backs against the void, desperate to hold on to the past. To our ghosts. To ourselves.

Altered Carbon  |  2x01 - “Phantom Lady”

And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon on Netflix was honestly one of the best sci fi shows I’ve ever seen. Here’s why:

1. It challenged the idea of what the human consciousness is and how it applies to the physical body.

2. It discussed ways in which the powerful will obtain and retain their authority over the powerless, and how the cycle of servitude will continue unless challenged

3. It didn’t turn women into background characters in their own lives or make them one dimensional. They were feminine and strong and sexual and intelligent and whole people rather than pretty faces who could shoot a gun while clinging to a male protagonist.

4. It explored the ways in which religion and spirituality endure (or not) when faced with a changing society and moral standards.

5. It showed a multicultural, multiethnic future in which PoC very much exist and thrive, in contrast with many white washed sci fi worlds.

6. Love! Death! Murder mysteries! Moral ambiguities and asking big questions! Victims becoming survivors! Edgar Allen Poe!

Seriously just watch this show.
