All those videos that are like “Why is this big area of this country uninhabited???” always have five reasons it might be.
i had the earth-shattering (for me) realization the other day that if padme had agreed to go Fuck It, We're Evil Now when anakin offered the galaxy on mustafar, and they fucked off to kill palpatine, there's no way anakin would've retained the name "darth vader." you'd have a seven foot tall mean little salt and pepper shaker in his shambling iron armor and you'd have to call him lord amidala. lord fucking amidala. i know this is true, i am 100% positive i have correctly interpreted these characters in saying that this would happen, but could you fucking imagine calling darth vader "lord amidala"? christ. that's insanity
you might as well call him mr. wifeguy. could you imagine obi-wan slumming it on tatooine when he hears whispers of the terrible dark deeds of lord amidala and despite the fact that he's hearing about how his sonbrotherguyitscomplicatedbestie does a ton of murder now, his first instinct is to roll his eyes literally to the sun and back. ahsoka's response to hearing the phrase "lord amidala" would honestly just be "that absolute motherfucker"

the changes I've been noticing in food on top of inflation...the worsening of textures...smaller packaging...the loss of flavor as companies reformulate with cheaper ingredients for the sake of profit

anyways. i'm sorry, but the trend towards the idea that tim makes dick's trauma about himself is always gonna something that genuinely baffles me because 1) tim??? very much doesn't????? he's always extremely apologetic whenever he does bring up the fact that dick's parents' death traumatized him (& again. witnessing a death, even of a stranger, is traumatic. tim. would. have. trauma. from. this. so would everyone in the audience that night. dick is the center of the trauma, but that doesn't invalidate anyone else's. the problem with dick's parents death being so public is that, while his personal tragedy is solely about him, the death itself touched so many lives aside from him--it happening in the public sphere inherently created far more victims with everyone who had to witness people dying than being alone in an alleyway does) and 2) dick *himself* is never super bothered by tim having trauma from dick's tragedy and most of the time *dick is the one bringing the topic up for him & tim to discuss*
like. my guess would be that it's stems from the gain in popularity of ring theory--which i do like--that makes people think it's inappropriate to talk to someone about something that hurt or traumatized them forever & you should never, never talk about your own personal feelings about the event to them. which is. hm. the point of ring theory is to not dump on someone who is *actively in a crisis*, once they're not *in a crisis* then the idea of comfort in/comfort out becomes a lot murkier & grey area because people do talk about things *when they process grief and feelings together*. you don't just like. never bring up the topic to them again??? like if dick had lost his parents and five minutes later tim had been like "wow. i was really affected by that" to him that would go against appropriate comfort in/comfort out. talking about a tragic event they both experienced years later & one that *dick is not actively in crisis about because dick has long since grappled with his grief* is not going against any the concepts of appropriate comfort in/comfort out. it's just. having a conversation. of which tim is usually apologetic about even having.
the problem with not voting in order to send the message that you hate all the candidates and the entire system and therefore refuse to participate is that it's completely indistinguishable, as a signal, from not bothering to vote because you think the system is great and all the candidates are great and you'd be fine with any of them. so you might want to rethink the strategy there
This, by the way, also implies the converse problem: that it's very easy to attribute to active and reflexive dissent what's only apathy and indifference.
i want to give this a shoutout for being one of a very few comments in over seven thousand notes to say something really interesting that's responding to the actual content of the post instead of what people imagine i'm saying here
one time I was lucid dreaming and I asked the Jennifer Coolidge figure in my dream how do i tell if something in a dream is real or not and she said. It’s only real if they charge your card. best answer ever
I feel called out hehe
You have one super power: The ability to know without fail what the truth is to any asked question. You planned to help the world as a super hero. It took you six hours for the government to declare you public enemy number one and the most deadly super villain alive.
It’s called the Gift of Perfect Knowledge. Of course, this is because someone once asked me “Hey, what’s your superpower?” and the name popped right up as it always did. I wonder if that means my superpower named itself. I’ve never had the courage to ask.
I have one mutual that tumblr regularly unfollows and I have to keep an eagle eye on my activity tab to see if they show up without the 'mutuals' tag so I know its time to refollow them for the hundred and eleventh time. functional website.
I want to thank tumblr for bringing my attention to every lesbian character and ship that has ever had airtime on any channel in any country
