Sooooo I’m playing SWTOR and my Jedi is passing herself off as a Sith to some Imperials.  And I killed one of them for “failing” me, because y’know.  Dedication to the cover story.  And some soldier is all like “Right, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go file the usual paperwork.”

THEY HAVE PAPERWORK FOR SITH-INDUCED DEATH IN THE FUCKING EMPIRE.  I AM DYING.

[brightephemera]

Alternately, “the usual paperwork” is a euphemism for “getting the fuck out of here” (form N0P3) and there’s keen competition for being the first person to say it when a Sith goes off the rails.

Winnie the Pooh is a fat icon tbh

[gaysun-deactivated20230205]

reminder that Winnie the Pooh wore a crop top and ate his fave food and loved himself and u can too

[armyoflarkness]

His friends were a pig with anxiety, a donkey with chronic depression, a single mom kangaroo and her kid, a bossy obsessive control-freak rabbit, a tiger with ADHD, and a pompous but dyslexic owl, and he loves them and they love him. 

[elodieunderglass]

if it interests you, Pooh (whose formal name is Edward Bear) made his first appearance in a poem written in 1924, before A.A. Milne wrote the books. It’s rather sweet - a bouncy little kid’s poem that touches on the importance of representation, societal expectations vs. self confidence, changing fashions (!) and using positive role models. It’s about a teddy bear who worries about whether his body shape is okay, until he meets a handsome king who is fat. The bear decides that he is happy with his body.

You can’t just offhandedly say that Pooh’s real name is Edward Bear

[elodieunderglass]

forbidden Pooh lore

Edward Bear is the bear’s formal name - Teddy Bear is his nickname, since Teddy can be short for Edward. Christopher Robin then gave him a second name. He is called Pooh after a swan*, Winnie after an actual historical bear, and “ther” to apparently make it masculine. Introduction to Winnie-the-Pooh (1926):

If you happen to have read another book about Christopher Robin, you may remember that he once had a swan (or the swan had Christopher Robin, I don’t know which), and that he used to call this swan Pooh. That was a long time ago, and when we said good-bye, we took the name with us, as we didn’t think the swan would want it any more. Well, when Edward Bear said that he would like an exciting name all to himself, Christopher Robin said at once, without stopping to think, that he was Winnie-the-Pooh. And he was. So, as I have explained the Pooh part, I will now explain the rest of it…

“Winnie” comes from the historical bear, above. She was an orphaned female bear from Canada who was brought to England by a Canadian soldier who arrived to fight in World War 1. He named her “Winnipeg” after his home province. Winnipeg moved to the London Zoo, where she was famous and beloved, and Christopher Robin admired her very much as a boy.

Then you put it together, in Chapter 1: Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind  Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn’t. Anyhow, here he is at the bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh. 

When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are going to say, ‘But I thought he was a boy?’

 'So did I,” said Christopher Robin.

 'Then you can’t call him Winnie?’

 'I don’t.’

‘But you said - ’

“He’s Winnie-ther-Pooh. Don’t you know what “ther” means?” 

“Ah, yes, now I do,’ I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get. 

don’t you know what “ther” means

and that is why Edward Bear is called Winnie-the-Pooh. And people just don’t question it. It’s just accepted.

* As explained in “When We Were Very Young” :  “Christopher Robin, who feeds this swan in the mornings, has given him the name of ‘Pooh.’ This is a very fine name for a swan, because, if you call him and he doesn’t come (which is a thing swans are good at), then you can pretend that you were just saying ‘Pooh!’ to show him how little you wanted him.””
