Hi, I'm Alex. 21. Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and now attending Bible College. I am a beloved daughter of the King. Saved by grace, not by effort. Constantly thankful for Jesus' unending, unchanging love. I am also a nerdfighter! No I don't fight nerds...I am just made of awesome! I spend a little too much time watching the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Community, The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, M*A*S*H, Doctor Who and Sherlock. Oh, and Australia is awesome. We have Kinder Surprise, Vegemite, and Marsupials. Come and visit sometime :) BEST CARE ANYWHERE { x }

At the 60th Academy Awards in 1988, Eddie Murphy addressed the industry’s Oscar biases.

It is clear, the Academy didn’t hear Eddie in 1988.

Grateful that some things didn’t work out the way I once wanted them to.

Detroit teachers stage “sickout” over horrible conditions, force schools to close

Eighty-eight of Detroit’s 97 public schools were closed Wednesday when teachers participated in a districtwide “sickout” to push for demands related to school conditions and their rights as employees. The protests align with a very high profile visitor in Detroit.

30 students died in a terrorist attack at Bacha Khan University, Peshawer, Pakistan on January, 20th 2016. Please remember them and their families in your prayers.

When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.”

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe

[askshivanulegacy]

This is brilliant!  Here’s another:

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit).  You normally comm someone instead of call them.

Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives.  The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).

[roane72]

I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.

[sugardaddylukeskywalker]

I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit   motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?) 

Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.

[freshbrainss]

I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!

Series 9 - Hell Bent

[johnfkennedaddy]

What if instead of gilly weed Harry had showed up to the black lake challenge in muggle scuba gear like “like where’s your advanced magic now bitches? Got me a free fishing knife with this thing”

[farashasilver]

Honestly I just want an AU where Harry approached all his magical problems with muggle solutions. Nobody knows how to handle it because he’s supposed to be there learning magic but you know what, it fucking works.

Give me Harry Potter who is like fucking MacGuyver up in this shit, creating his own non-magical solutions to magical problems.

“Potter how did you get past the enchanted keys to the Sorcerer’s Stone?”

“I used a fucking net.”

[octoberreads]

“How did you get past the dragon?”

Harry shines a little red light on the wall “works on cats, why not a dragon”

“How did you get through the hedge maze?”

“Weed-b-gone, it’s like a pound. Nothing will ever grow there again”

[atomic-darth]

It’s the final battle between Harry and Voldemort. The Dark Lord begins to prepare a spell to end Harry Potter’s life once and for all when….

MY FAVOURITE trope is the 

“leave all your weapons” *takes out far more weapons than expected (or logically able to carry)*

[haberdashing]

and then

“i said ALL of them”

*takes out a dozen more weapons from increasingly improbable locations*

[brutusfeels]

And then *stern look*

*pulls out one more tiny pistol*
