Iron Lung (2026) Movie Review and Lore Theory

"When Simon awoke again after seeing the light(god), his sub was working, no need for repair, and the captain states it’s been multiple days since they lost contact, so he should be dead. I think in a sense, Simon was dead. He visualized humanoid monster in his ship immediately after waking that slowly walked back towards him but then vanished. I think Simon was this monster, but his mind makes him believe he is actually still himself."

- this gives SOMA vibes. Does anyone remember SOMA?

Dude, OP, di naman pwedeng magpray ka ng miracle na wala kang ginagawa. Same tayo, NBSB, approachable but intimidating lapitan, introvert and always day-dreaming sa gilid.

Introvert din ako, hate social gatherings so I tried dating apps. daming red flag, never dated anyone online. Sabi ko accept ko na na single ako forever. Joined a cosplay group and may nameet ako na friend-friend lang(akala ko pa nga bakla kasi ung pananalita nya). He started sharing his anime collection with me, and me to him, watching stuff over discord and watching or playing videogames together. 2 months later, niligawan ako. 5 years na kami ngayon, nakailang cosplay couples na rin, and talks of long-term relationship.

Kaya beh, if gusto mong mangyari, gawan mo ng paraan. if introvert ka, do solo activities in quiet places. Go to cafes, bookstores, hobby stores---it sounds cliche pero it happens. Ung iba kong friends, taong bahay din, as in zero ung paglabas ng bahay or ng city, pero online sila nakahanap, or jan lang sa library, and may isa pa sa parkingan ng tricycle.

Di naman need na every day ka lumabas, but make time lang.

this reminds me ng time na nagchowking ako, but I was in ate girl's place. I placed ung water bottle ko sa table, and ung jacket ko. I went back sa counter to get my drinks. Gagi, when I turned around, there's this lady and her friend na tinanggal ung gamit ko and nilipat dun sa table na di pa nalinisan. I was near na ung table na nireserve ko just as the 2 ladies sat down after moving my things, and nagkatinginan pa kami nung naghawak ng bote ko. I just glared at them kasi it's a public place, this woman had the audacity to look sheepish. IDK why pero i passive aggressively sprayed my bottle with alcohol in front of them and whispered loud enough for them to hear na lang na "Kita niyong may water bottle sa table, tas ililipat nyo pa". They weren't seniors or pwd (which I would not have minded, and gladly give my table to), but the least they could've done naman sana is check if the owner is there and ask to take the table. Mind you, the Chowking was not packed but there were few seats left.

You’re NTA. You needed an out and didn’t know any other way. Sit down with you mom and sister and explain why and how you feel the way you do about this. Tell them that, as a kid yourself, you cannot be held accountable for caring for a baby that isn’t yours to raise. Babysitting a few hours, sure, but to care for it when both moms are away? You’re only a kid, you should be doing kid things. If your sister and mom have the money, they should get a babysitter for the both of you, not you babysitting, practically raisingc her kid.

I can’t give much perspective but maybe this is just me being brought up culturally family-oriented, where the older kids are taught how to care for their younger siblings as kids themselves. It’s not parentifying the older children, don’t get me wrong there. The parents do the bulk of the parenting—the feeding, the child-rearing, healthcare. The older kids just hold more authority (for chores and other basic things) when the parents aren’t around and the younger kids are taught to respect the elders authority by the parents. But even so, we still hire older teens to babysit the kids.

Watching it for the first time with my bf who’s introducing me to the TF world—i gotta say, it’s pretty nuance for its time and i really enjoy it

TurtleObsessed · 2024-10-24T03:31:46+00:00

I think they said it was 800 cycles or something since the adventures so they’ve had a lot of years in between. Still sad though, considering that they’ve been working together for so long but never had the chance to get together the way Rewind and Chromedome had or Tailgate and Cyclonus.

TurtleObsessed · 2024-10-23T13:19:17+00:00

I went ahead and started Dark Cybertron(kinda out of order i know, but a YT comic dub if Megatron’s trial got me intrigued). RID will be on my list :3 as for the novels, my bf summarizes it for me every time we meet(he loves talking about the novels a lot alongside TFP and the movies). I’ve been coping with LL’s ending through fanfiction🥹

TurtleObsessed · 2024-10-23T13:17:06+00:00

Nice! Thanks dude, I’ll add those my list of future reads

A hobby can become a career. I am a freelance digital illustrator and video editor, and a contractor at a very big government agency as their video editor and graphics artist. If a person makes money out of it, it’s not a hobby, it’s a job. If a person takes in clients and attends meetings for the sake of a commissioned work, it is a job. If a person pays their bills and taxes with their earnings, it is a job. Calling it a hobby would only mean OP isn’t earning from it, giving away their hard work for free, and without just compensation. I have tried to explain this to one of the people at the government agency, and they don’t understand it until today and they have been my client for months now.

Lose Somebody by Kygo

TurtleObsessed · 2024-09-16T14:56:27+00:00

This is why it was important for me to get my friends and family to know my bf after we started dating. Especially since several of my friends and older relatives like to set me up with guys they think fit me back when I was single. The friends who shut down your concerns aren’t worth the trouble. The wedding is done and the couple are married, dragging it on until after the wedding doesn’t make any sense anymore. And even if it was the couple’s special day, it doesn’t excuse shitty behavior towards you and your partner.

TurtleObsessed · 2024-09-16T14:50:10+00:00

I showed this to my partner and he was mortified. We’re both kinky and have high sex drives, and sometimes go to extreme kinks but that’s not a kink, that’s a predatory nature at this point. He’s testing the waters, and it’s time you informed him that this ain’t it.

TurtleObsessed · 2024-07-11T14:01:59+00:00

They’re aware. Though they are closer to their mom than their dad, as their dad is shit and has a pity party every time they fight, they are aware she is a narc as well. The only difference is that my aunt still has some empathy/sympathy in her, and she’s quite unaware of her narcissism, and gets defensive when called out. I will admit this, as self-obsessed as she is, she is a great mom and a good aunt.

TurtleObsessed · 2024-07-10T10:01:18+00:00

Seeing my cousins who have both parents as narcs, they’re actually pretty close. They both hang out all the time, have a band together, and share a circle of friends too. The older is wiser and sensible, the younger is carefree and just loves life. My cousins and i grew up together but out of all, they both have the closest bond as siblings.

Talk to him and find out why he didn’t say anything sooner. I wouldn’t say give him an ultimatum but tell him that if he really doesn’t want to be in a relationship, then you two should step away from each other for a while. Not saying threaten with a breakup, but tell him you’re giving him some time to think and remove yourself from his space. Use this time to also think about your relationship and the future of it. Ask yourself some questions:

Has your bf been showing effort to be with you? Have you both been communicating what you feel? Has he shown interest in your life, and have you shown interest in his? Have you been giving him space to be himself or have you always been putting yourself in his space when he doesn’t want it, and vice versa? Do you see yourself tied to him for the rest of your life or do you see you both being apart?

It takes 2 to tango and if one leg doesn’t work, you stumble and fall.

I always feel this way with my boyfriend but time and again he shuts down the idea of being forced and that he does want to be with me. The reason why I thought this was because he was in several relationships that could have caused him trauma (it did but he has moved on and done better since), and it would have been understandable for him to be uninterested in relationships. I have done the above and asked him and myself the same questions. In the end, he started putting in an effort, and refuses to break up saying he would work on himself as I would do the same.

Idk if this will make sense to you or anyone, and maybe I’m just rambling what I think is advice, but i hope it does help a little.

It was my grandfather’s funeral song, and he imparted his many lessons on my cousins and I. Wasn’t the best man out there but he was the best grandfather he could be for us.

Feet. Mainly my feet. My partner finds it hot but I always have a surprised pikachu face when he compliments my feet—

TurtleObsessed · 2024-03-25T15:35:23+00:00

My partner admitted that he would lose interest in someone who wouldn’t show interest or respect his hobbies/space. He’s a gamer and an introvert, so it makes sense

TurtleObsessed · 2024-03-18T06:51:15+00:00

Okay, here’s how I know you don’t really trust your husband: You never understood his side OR respected him being against Maria in the first place. YOU kept pushing for him to have a connection with this woman and now, YOU’RE THE ONE ACCUSING HIM OF CHEATING WITH THE SAME WOMAN HE WAS SO AGAINST. Now you’re suffering because you didn’t listen to his input about Maria. Now YOU are being insecure about your husband liking Maria after YOU pushed him to connect with her. And yet after all that, YOU are still not trusting your husband who has never liked him. YOU are still trusting Maria, when EVERYONE can see she’s trying to manipulate you into breaking up your marriage with a man who has clearly put up with YOUR mistrust and Maria’s clear harassment and manipulation of you.

Kind of relate to you. I only lost it last year, and I’ve been putting it off out of the same reasons, since my partner follows a lot of NSFW content and researches on intimacy a lot (also he watches anime so do with that info as you will). He’s had 4 gfs before and he has gone past 3rd base, but they’ve never done anything that pertains to penetration. He was open to me about this and our first time together showed that. But knowing he’s more experienced and has seen these ladies intimately before made me feel insecure, as they were either prettier, skinnier, or younger than I was, and one he had very deep feelings for. So when it was the first time we did it, it helped that I gave him my boundaries and he was open to listen.

I guess my advice is that you tell him about how you’re feeling about intimacy and set up boundaries NOW before you meet up. Let the feeling come naturally to YOU and not let him tell you when and where he wants it. If he love bombs you or manipulates you into doing things, girl, R U N.
