The Thing 1982 - Blog Posts
He’s in my brain
I haven't watched the movie myself, but from a brief Wikipedia search and this meme template I've made my guess who lives and not are:
Quasar: manages to sence the difference in whom ever the thing is and takes it out
Leyc: doesn't look or sound sane enough for the thing to care and so survives
Zim: too cute to die
Bucket: Also too cute to die, also metal
Mi'var: Almost died, but girlbossed through it
Gurmenas: tries to kill the thing, fails and dies
Phoenix: tries to kill the thing, fails and dies
Gear: too busy trying to keep the peace between the others to get separated to die
Kelp: tried to fight the thing, died
Omen: too busy theorising to die
Dush: barricades himself in a corner and so survives
Anch: the thing is scared of him, don't mess with the medic
Wreck: was the first victim

EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT MACREADY FIT
I needed to do it, thank you eBay
The hat he wears eludes me still but i aint worried about it
MacReady looks less and less like MacReady with each comic run
MacReady in the thing from another world:
yep, that's MacReady. he's wearing a different outfit for some reason, but its still definitely him.
MacReady in climate of fear:
doesnt really look like him and he's got way longer hair, but i'm pretty sure theres a timeskip while hes unconscious
MacReady in eternal vows:
literally who is that
ironically the only comic he's wearing his normal outfit
Made a long list of movies to put in one of those roulettes to have prompts for short studies ✨️ first pick was "The Thing"
rj macready was an unstable bisexual with a flamethrower. my hero.
Everyone wants to talk about the crew exploring each other's bodies and what not but I think we're forgetting that Palmer and Norris canonically explored each other's bodies. I mean it's not in the sexy way y'all clearly intend but one was inside the other. We just don't know who.
so i read Who Goes There? and uh… not only is Mac a meteorologist but also
and i just couldn’t stop thinking about it
girl did you invade outpost 31? 'cause you are some Thing
The Day the Earth Blew Up was really good. This was something I needed to draw after watching it. Go see it in theaters please!
Also be nice, I've haven't tried drawing Looney Tunes before...
Guys I’m calling it. Windows and Palmer’s ship name will be Winmer. I’m tired of not having a specific ship name to tag them under. And that name seems simple enough to me.
So, cool? Can I call them that?
Your hands are so cold
I’m on my 3rd rewatch of John Carpenter’s The Thing and
“I ain’t going with Windows”
“FUCK YOU PALMER”
Will never not be funny
I was watching The Thing (1982) with family as our Christmas flick and I coulda sworn in one scene Palmer was wearing a dark/charcoal grey handkerchief on his left. According to the hanky code, that makes him a latex fetish top. Do with this information what you will.

I love how everyone just ships everyone together ‘cause they’re all really shippable with each other and yet none of us have a considered the possibility that they could all just be poly if we wanted them to be.
I have thoughts about The Thing (1982).
WinMac should NOT be the top ship. You guys are insane when MacReady and Childs is RIGHT THERE. That ending??? Dead mans yaoi. They had chemistry throughout the whole film, and Y'all latched onto Windows and MacReady?? Is it all for the computer brands joke?? Whatever. Just you wait.
@emile-tb knows whats up, and is holding the flashlight for my keyboard while I type in the dark rn.
He tells me to tell yall he says hi.
if you guys have ship name ideas for Mac and Childs lmk
I’m not in the Monster High or Monster As Teenager adjacent fandoms, but has anyone done “Daughter of The Thing (1982)” and it looks like just a teenaged girl version of Kurt Russell? No tendrils, no tentacles, just a girl with this exact fit and hair
She swears that she isn’t the daughter of The Thing (1982). She’s a totally normal human you guys. She shouldn’t even be at this school. She likes normal human things like not having her blood tested.
