in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
the theories get even more egregious during the imperial era, with people straight up thinking she joined the rebellion in secret and is loading her songs with subliminal rebel propaganda. their main piece of evidence for this is if you play a certain song backwards, it sounds like she’s saying “freedom” in shyriiwook. the fans get really defensive if you point out she’s performed at the yearly empire day celebration thrice now and her family historically owned ewok slaves
i regret to inform both you beautiful people that this isn’t going to go how you think it will

spiff fans (also known as “spiffies”) insist that the two decommissioned venator-class destroyers spiff purchased, the bad blood and the reputation, are for diplomatic purposes that benefit the rebellion. jedi’lors have concocted theories that she served on both ships during the clone wars and was respectful of every clone that served there, despite her courtship of a gravball player that thrice advocated against the clone veterans being granted natural citizenship

this post hasn’t left my mind since i’ve first saw it
people jest but this is literally how i worked out i was gaslit for like 15 years of my life
People who “want trauma” are recognizing, on some level, that they were traumatized but in a way that’s not “socially recognized” as trauma. What they really want is for people to see that they’ve been traumatized and be on their side
Hold up
I think it’s also important to talk about mental illness, and how the pain and trauma of being mentally ill as a kid is often diminished because of the lack of outside actors. If you spent your childhood being suicidally depressed because your wee little kiddo brain decided to be a chemical shitshow, it doesn’t matter how much mom and dad loved you, that kinda thing fucks you up. And having people only look at your external surroundings and argue that “nothing bad happened” ignores all the pain you went through internally. So wishing you could have something external you could point to in order to justify that pain and enduring stress – just so people could understand – makes sense.
It’s not so much “I wish I had been traumatized” as “I wish I had a name, an event, an explanation for my trauma that other people would understand and accept.”
It’s easy really. Other than having a soul, it’s because when the Nazis had our people in ghettos, when we were sent to death camps, when we asked for help and nobody listened. We know what it’s like to be begging for someone to listen. Because we know what the pain of loss, of starvation, of losing your home, of being mocked and dehumanised and othered feels like. Because we know that no life is above anothers.
been going insane over Bruce in his eating dome for 24 hrs now
There is so much story telling here. A person got this pacific parrotlet named it Bruce which in and of itself is amazing but then this person went here my little bird friend a raspbebe for you to enjoy and Bruce said hell yeah and went cataclysmicly and irreversible ape shit ham on that berry. And that probably happened more than once. So instead of never again allowing this little dinosaur the joy of the succulent flesh of the delectable raspberry they went what can we do for our little baby boy. and then boom they got some kind of cake cover type deal and cut a door into it so that Bruce would Not Be Trapped in a fruit prison (altho truely it is the berries who are trapped in there with Bruce but none the less) and so he may go to his pent house and freak it as crazily as his little bird heart desires.
Anyway i love pets they are each distinct little guys who are carred for by the funniest ape to ever exist bc we love animal so much
I’m in this group and Bruce’s human posts eating dome updates when he’s done a particularly good job!
jewish people said “ok you’re leftist but are you normal about jewish people” and so many leftists have confidently answered with a resounding “lol fuck no”
there’s no other conclusion to draw
i saw leftists reblog the occasional post about antisemitism when it was popular to punch nazis, but during a global surge in antisemitism it’s been nothing but crickets for months from the left
actually scratch that, it hasn’t been crickets so much as supposed leftists violently perpetuating antisemitism while anyone who calls it out is automatically ostracized
purpose of this poll: basically im wondering if my gran having a pistol was a typical american experience
Ok I’m gonna fix this poll
Have you seen a functioning, non-display-piece gun in person? (A private citizen’s private property–not a cop’s gun, a display at a museum, at a shooting range, etc)
furries are at least 2.25x more likely to have been diagnosed with a form of autism, are on average 50-100% more likely to have experienced bullying unrelated to being a furry growing up than their peers, only 10% identify as heterosexual, and 50% of furries are found to experience some form of disability
i’m just really tired of seeing people in 2023 still acting like there’s no possible connection to be made with seeing furries as disgusting sex perverts who deserve to be ostracized and bullied or made fun of when 9 out of 10 of us are queer
Boy do I got news for you if you’re shocked and appalled that the United States is willing to maim and kill its own populace to maintain global power
I saw a post with that question and I shared bc I understood the point, it just.. it was funny bc who’s the target audience, you know? Because there are many groups of people here who can attest to the constant, widespread violence that is Maintaining The Status Quo of the American State. From Day One to The Present.
If you’re lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can’t, it’s worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it’s also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you’ve learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn’t just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you’re reading!
Reading as a kid: “I can tell that this is supposed to be an emotionally moving ending, but I genuinely cannot remember who two-thirds of these characters are.”
Reading as an adult: *reads a paragraph* *pauses* *reads the same paragraph again* *flips back and re-reads the preceding page to make sure you didn’t misunderstand something* *stares into space for ten minutes as the Implications sink in*
the weirdest take I’ve seen on this site is “if you follow hundreds of blogs, why not just use the for you page?” well if you like hot showers, why don’t you just bungee jump into an active volcano? that’s what you just said to me
So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?

DEFINITELY don’t Lt. John Pike by the nickname “Sargeant Pepper”; I know he HATES that.
the obsession with realism as the gold standard of quality is the hole where good creature design and interesting fx goes to die
it’s not realism that’s the issue, by the way, that’s just a style, it’s the way people often treat realism as the dictionary definition of good special effects
I have a lot of thoughts about realism as an aesthetic and how it is incredibly relative and how “realistic” is used to mean a huge variety of different things when people say it as a compliment for media lol
What a shame it is to see peaceful protests where students are asking for an end to the genocide being met with force. We need an end to the occupation and an end to the genocide.
