people like to make taako and lup have sun and moon motifs but they come from a planet with two suns and no moon. twins suns. someone do something with this im so sleep deprived

[anistarrose]

ough I wrote tags but I'm not done — they're sun elves according to Taako's original character sheet! Which has plenty of non-canon pre-rolled stuff, but the other stuff that got ignored wasn't this symbolically juicy! They're twin sun elves from a planet with twin suns! Are twins auspicious in sun elf culture on their planet? If they are supposed to be a fortunate omen, then how do Lup and Taako feel about that belief compared to the hardship of their upbringing? Do they reject that symbolism sullenly? Or do they decide to make themselves a fucking prosperous life through hard work and scrappiness instead of fate, until yeah, they are a fucking blessing and a gift for other people to bear witness to! The worldbuilding and characterization go crazy!

And oh, on Faerun. On Faerun there's only one sun. On Faerun there very quickly becomes No Lup. Taako is alone and there's only one sun in the sky, and the sun looks lonely and Taako doesn't feel whole, and he doesn't know how to explain why! And meanwhile there is a moon symbolism character, there's Lucretia right there, and ohhhhh she still remembers the twin suns of her home planet, still remembers Taako and Lup, but she can only recreate that home by mirroring it with twin moons! Taako and Lup and Lucretia are from a planet with two suns and one moon and that's what they respectively represent in those exact numbers! THANK YOU OP you are the most correct person ever and the underratedness of the twin sun symbolism has always made me lose it.

Grace goes swimming! Rocky is not thrilled.

Eridians cant "hold their breath" like humans do, their vents dont close completly so water can still get in, if they fall in water they drown and die. safe to say rocky is not a fan of when grace does it for fun xD

(i got the inspo for this from this fic: Enrichment by alatarmaia4, please check it out it is so funny)

More art of Rocky Stressing™️ about human biology

I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)

grace, who has been alone for five minutes: oh my god. an alien! im not alone anymore! i hope he wants to be friends :)

rocky, coming up on 50 years of solitude, imprinting on grace in ways baby ducklings can only dream of: if you leave me to sleep where i can't watch your heart beat i am blowing up this tunnel with us both in it

regarding Murderbot’s beef with Jollybaby. my humble opinion:

What Murderbot believes is happening: It’s got a legitimate reason to think JB is so fucking annoying. Does it know JB has become its bitch eating crackers? Yes. But that bitch is eating crackers and it does make MB crazy.

What Jollybaby believes is happening: Murderbot replaced its governor module with a stick up its ass. What could JB possibly do other than tease it? It’s HELPING. Someday MB will get it and chill tf out.

What is happening: The station bots and the bot pilots have broken into factions. The station bots all think MB is a bit of an asshole, thanks for saving the president or whatever but you’re not better than us bc you have guns in your arms.

The bot pilots meanwhile can’t help but be fond of MB. It’s not an asshole to them. It sends them new media and always says please. Ok so it’s sort of a dick, you would be too if you’d been manufactured in the CR.

This all manifests in heated debates about JBs behavior and MBs behavior where the station bots all find JB hilarious but the bot pilots don’t like MB being teased when it doesn’t even know.

But the ONE TIME a CR ship came through and its botpilot had something to say about the SecUnit every single bot within range fell in line. As far as Jollybaby is concerned that’s MY Dickbag SecUnit I am making my crazy on purpose. As far as YOURE concerned it’s a perfect construct who has never done anything bad in its life.

Anyway JollyMurder for real

In elementary school, my best friend and I had this game we would play where we were school supplies living inside a child's desk and going on slice-of-life adventures inside it. And I remember that a key component of our school supply society was a sort of religious schism that existed around the purpose and nature of the giant hand that occasionally reached in to grab different citizens, use them, and then return them, because most school supplies considered this an auspicious and enviable moment of being selected for a greater purpose and allowed a glimpse of a vast truth, but pencils considered it a horrible portent of doom because they always got sharpened during it and came back smaller and closer to death. We were third graders btw.

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote

ultimately I think the place where I will never see eye to eye with the "you can do whatever you want forever" people is in the precision of language. I do think it is genuinely important for words to have widely agreed upon definitions that are only flexible to the same degree that the rest of a given language is. a word whose definition is whatever suits the speakers preference and makes them the most comfortable doesn't have any real reason to exist and serves no linguistic function. i support anyone's desire to do whatever they want so long as it's not hurting anyone, but there are always going to be words that accurately describe what they're doing and ones that don't.

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights
