It’s Pride Month Eve, so leave out some milk for Freddie Mercury and his cats.

Time for the annual Pride Month reblog of Freddie Mercury and his fabulous cats!

The greatest drawing of a dog was also done in the 1700s by a Japanese artist - Nagasawa Rosetsu.

These creatures are some of the greatest drawings

Jiang Cheng and his two spiders who have made more than one sect leader cry simply with their presence.

At 21, Jiang Cheng was given two 15 y/o girls as his "guardians." At first he underestimated their strength until he witnessed them hunting; he never doubted his spiders professionalism again. They got their first jiang bell the day they made the yao sect leader cry.

They're literally this: 👹😠👹

Their names are Yu Chuyi and Yu Xingxi.

u know i think ppl in the star wars fandom are guilty of conflating events together sometimes. let's not forget that not only did Darth Vader not blow up Alderaan (that was Tarkin) it's pretty clear that he didn't approve of blowing up Alderaan.

[penny-anna]

like not in the sense that he had any moral high ground. he just didn't think threatening Alderaan would work and seemingly told Tarkin as much offscreen. he's a bit smug after the fact when it turns out he was right.

obviously he was fully complicit and from a character perspective it makes sense for Leia to blame him given that Tarkin couldn't be held responsible on account of being dead. but that doesn't mean she's strictly correct.

[penny-anna]

#his objections were strictly on a level of practicality #he wasnt a better person rhan tarkin #he just thought tarkins pet project was stupid #also he just disliked tarkin in general #which absolutely was part of it #he would have been so petty at tarkin after #if hed survived the death star explosion #so very #very petty

Darth Vader, after Tarkin's superweapon gets blown up using the power of the force: LMAO what did i tell you

[abigailnussbaum]

So what we're saying here is that while his direct superior was committing planetary genocide, while standing right next to him, in pursuit of a cause to which they had both sworn their service, Darth Vader was ostentatiously shaking his head so everyone would know he was against it.

[opinions-about-tiaras]

Yes, but only in the sense of "ostentatiously against it because he regards it as the crude bludgeoning strategy of lower men, ineffective compared to the more precisely intimate information extraction techniques he can inflict using only a properly calibrated medical droid and the Force."

It's worth noting that both in Legends and canon, by the way, Vader didn't dislike Tarkin, except inasmuch as Vader doesn't really like anyone, including himself. He respected Tarkin and they considered each other friends; indeed, Tarkin had been one of Anakin's friends, to the polite horror of other Jedi.

Vader didn't like or respect the Death Star. There's a difference. Tarkin's evil was systemic; he believed in finding the proper place to stand with the right lever (the aforementioned Death Star) and he could move the whole galaxy. Vader's evil was personalist; it was less callously indiscriminant, but that was because it was more intimate and cruel, the specific cruelties one dedicated asshole can inflict upon another human.

This comes down to character beats. Vader is a tricky character to interpret or to write, and a lot of people fuck it up. His specific damage and specific brand of evil have been carefully built by a number of very good writers (and some very bad ones) over the best fifty years but there's been a post-Kylo Ren tendency to just flatten him into "Kylo Ren 1.0, but more competent and less of a whiny bitch."

Sometimes you really need a good personality on your staff.

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

I love fanfiction because sometimes The Character needs to be held gently and sometimes they need to be beaten to death with a club. and you 🫵 can make both of those happen. for free

[andorology]

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

[kestrel-tree]

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

[bananonbinary]

#can i be the guy#ill narrate SO incorrectly#theyll all learn how to talk for themselves just to shut me up (via @cirrus-grey)

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

i have yet to see tumblr's mature content filter actually flag any mature content on my dash. it's basically always shit like this

[meangirlnurse]

i have to admit, it does make me contemplate the latent eroticism of art pieces that i would not have considered erotic without the label
