Hi, my name is Mel and I'm a 31 year old autistic person from California. I consider myself nonbinary trans and you may use they/them/theirs pronouns when referring to me.

My hobbies include: video games, watching Too Much Television, playing musical instruments, working with horses, collecting model horses, and writing. I'm an indie roleplayer on tumblr and much of my passion for writing belongs there.

I started teaching myself how to make gifs and although mine aren't very good, I've learned a lot from the process.

My computer blew up in April 2024, so everything you see here is coming to you live from tumblr mobile.

My main 'fandoms'/interests are:

Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad

Fallout

Westworld

I also blog quite a bit about:

Fandom Culture

Media Literacy/Reading Comprehension

Writing

My DNI is pretty simple and straightforward. I used to put a list here but all you need to know is if you act like a dick to me or people I reblog content from then consequentially you will not be welcome here anymore.

i'll never try to text and ride again 🤦🏼

[calebnichols]

forbidden context: I was gaming in the living room on my Xbox one morning and I had my phone sitting next to me on the arm of the chair with the screen facing up. It lit up for a moment with a notification that one of my friends had replied to one of our rp threads on Tumblr which I was pretty excited about. I took one hand off the controller and picked up the phone to read that notification.

I wasn't genuinely texting-texting but I was distracted by the phone screen while my Arthur just kinda. continued to ride straight down the path and up the side of the mountain on my TV. Suddenly I heard "*THUD* WHAAA—oOF...oh...OW!" and it startled my attention back into the game.

but at what cost 💔

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

no but im so tired of how self-deprecation is always more accepted than self-advocacy. if i say i can't drive because im autistic i get questioned on how exactly that works and given a million suggestions on how to do it anyway and i look like im trying to be special so it's easier to just say im a loser. yeah i don't drive because im kind of a loser lmao. oh well. and people say lmao back and we move on. at worst they say "oh im sure you'll figure it out haha." but no interrogation!! being a loser is more respectable than being disabled. being a loser is something that doesn't make other people feel uncomfortable about their own biases. so no, no im not disabled. i don't struggle to keep friends and do the laundry and make quick trivial decisions and clean my room and brush my teeth because im autistic. it's because im a loser. it's my fault. it is what it is. at least im funny now. do you think im funny? please think im funny

Tell me, Maximus, tell me. What world will you build? When you lead, tell me, what will you do when your people are starving? I don't want that. Then, what is your great plan?

I still think the funniest moment in the Star Wars fandom was when the Padawan book came out and confirmed Obi-Wan as bisexual. The Star Wars dude bros were so upset, they genuinely couldn’t fathom it.

“But— but- Satine!!” Yeah, bi people like women too, kinda how that works.

“But Jedi can’t have relationships!!” Then by that logic there are no straight Jedi either…

Also, they were acting like it was some sort of shock, or like it came completely out of nowhere. Obi-Wan is probably the fruitiest bitch in the galaxy. His ass was sat leg up in his council chair in his custom knee-high Prada boots while Windu was telling Anakin he couldn’t become a Master LMAO. There was so much chemistry in the combined five minutes that he was on screen with Cody that they became one of the most popular ships in this fandom. Disney confirming him as bisexual was just confirming what was already glaringly obvious. That man likes men. Y’all are just blind asf.

Edit because y’all still think I’m lying; The Padawan novel isn’t the only instance where Obi-Wan is implied to be Queer, in the ROTS novelization by Matthew Stover, when Palpatine hints towards Obi-Wan having an affair with a Senator, Anakin assumes it’s a “he” until Palpatine corrects him with “she”. This novel came out in 2005, he’s BEEN QUEER.

And to the people arguing for pansexuality, I get it, but the og actor for Obi-Wan, Alec Guinness, was bisexual. Let’s keep Obi-Wan’s sexuality as a tribute and not fight over it please.
