Anastasia wasn’t a Disney movie.  Saying it is now, simply because Disney bought Fox, is creatively anachronistic.   Don Bluth didn’t fight in the animation trenches and escape the clutches of The Mouse to have his work artistically misattributed.  I’m not dying on this hill.  I’m defending this hill.  I’m killing on this hill.

This post is so old that it predates Anastasia being taken off Disney plus due to the Russia-Ukraine war

Wouldn't it be kinda funny to see a fanfiction parallel where Cody is the feral one and Obi-Wan, who has been training people for years and knows what responsibility looks like, is completely aghast at some of Cody's behavior.

After battle Obi-Wan turns around, completely horrified because this newly promoted-non force sensitive-commander just JUMPED on General Grevious and came away unscathed.

Or forces Cody to go to the medic after kicking a droid-no Cody he doesn't care if you have weight enforced boots, it's still a safety concern.

The further into the war they get the more convinced Obi-Wan is that his partner has some kind of force-sensitivity because how do you survive this long doing all the stupid shit Cody has done without it. But after while Obi-Wan just finds it devastatingly attractive

Meanwhile Cody is just relaying his dumb stories to his batch while the other's try to one up him with their own stunts. And the Jedi have to deal with the fact that the clone's were not trained to have any sense of safety and personal responsibility.

American mutuals, I seriously urge you to tell Congress and Biden to stand with Palestine, and do not stop sending this message. You can also donate here.

This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.

Israel has reportedly bombed a UN school, which housed many displaced Palestinians, as it was in al-Maghazi Palestinian refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Please keep talking about what Israel is doing to Palestine.

physical touch is vital to brain development but clones and jedi don't have parents to hold them. so they hold each other. growing up with this communal affection makes them very tactile as adults. in this essay i will explain the history and cultural significance of cuddle piles in the GAR-

[saggitary]

Clone and Unknowingly Cuddling

I’ve seen a lot of back and forth in whether clone troopers would be big on physical touch or not.

I think that it would make a little more sense especially from canon that the clones would be a little bit less into physical touch just based on their upbringing… HOWEVER

How funny would it be that no matter wear they fell asleep, who they were nearest to, anything, while they are asleep they will somehow find a way to cuddle right up to the nearest person.

They could be in the opposite side of a cave from someone on their own sleeping pad and everything and still somehow find a way to end up right on top of that other person.

Obi-Wan was very confused the first time he and Cody shared a tent in a campaign and he woke up to find Cody gone from his own cot on one side of the tent and in his cot.

Rex was horrified when he woke up on night while in a mission spooning his general. Anakin was a little surprised but didn’t say anything about it.

Even someone as standoffish and scary as Fox, has woken up after falling asleep on Senator Chuchi’s couch after going 4 days without sleep, completely glommed into the Pantoran.

Echo thought for sure he was going to be decommissioned when he woke up wrapped around his little commander, but Ahsoka assured him that she really didn’t mind and slept quite well.

Bly almost had a heart attack the first time he’d done it to Aalya. He’d even positioned himself closer to one of his captains that night so it wouldn’t happen. He’d quickly realized that the person spooning him from behind was his captain.

This habit of unconsciously ending up cuddling other people happens to make clone cuddle piles deadly for anybody to close to get dragged in. You will end up with three different people glommed onto you.

Oh did I mention that they also don’t let go until they wake up?

[saggitary]

These are my favorite responses to this post 😂

This is my new favorite description of clone troopers actually

🙏 me too babe

I think we all need clone cuddle therapy 🤔

[tattycoram]

Cody: I never understood why people cared so much about their dumb little brothers until I got a dumb little brother myself. I've only had Rex for a day and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself

[beck-a-la]

Not to be a shipper on main but tumblr, WHERE is the Callowmoore fic?! I think I’ve read every word of it on AO3 (and half of that is actually Orym/Ashton in disguise) but after the most recent episode??? Emperor and Empress??? She jumped into lava for him??? “You’re both meant to be here”??? I have grabby hands. Gimme the fiiiiiic.

[intermundia]

i think the reason that i find the tragedy of the prequels so compelling is that anakin is such a good tragic hero. he's shown to be an intelligent man with a mature understanding of the world, who made catastrophic choices on purpose because they were easier and more personally satisfying to him. when fans deny him that agency, i believe they misunderstand the story in important ways. one can say that he was manipulated and deceived, one can diagnose him with every mental illness in the DSM (and people in my notes often do), but one cannot say that he wasn't fast to toss aside his moral values to lash out and to get what he wanted.

the fact of the narrative is that anakin knew better, and he chose the easy option (with full knowledge that it was 'wrong'), because he refused to accept core limitations of reality, namely the inevitability of death. he thought that having special powers meant the rules didn't apply to him and those he loved, and that's how he ended up killing kids and serving as a fascist enforcer for decades. one can contort themselves into knots to try to excuse that, and there were indeed many contextual forces that gave him so much power in the first place, but there is no real excuse for what he chose to do with that power.

without anakin being that kind of moral agent, there is no tragedy. tragedy in an aristotelean sense is a narrative designed to elicit feelings of pity and fear, because we the audience know that we too are doomed to suffer and all too readily make easy, bad choices to avoid pain. none of us want to accept that some parts of life include losing, and require sacrifice. anakin's greed was his undoing, as it is all to often our own. refusing to accept that the tragedy of the prequels, explaining away and excusing the fall of the hero, means protecting ourselves from accepting the painful truth that we are just like him, and can and do make the same kind of mistakes.

[Image Described: first image: a screenshot from Queering The Map. It shows a map of Gaza, within the border labeled "Nineteen Fifty Armistice Agreement Line. The map has scattered pins here and there, and the selected pin near Jabalia is labeled "I've always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand and hand, free at last. We spoke of all the places we would go if we could. Yet you are gone now. If I had known that bombs raining down on us would take you from me, I would have gladly told the world how I adored you more than anything. I'm sorry I was a coward." Second image: more pins. One pin is selected. The nearest town/city to it is obscured by other pins, but it is between the Mediterranean coast and the city of Sderot. The pin says "Idk how long I will live so I just want this to be my memory here before I die. I am not going to leave my home, come what may. My biggest regret is not kissing this one guy. He died two days back. We had told how much we like each other and I was too shy to kiss last time. He died in the bombing. I think a big part of me died too. And soon I will be dead. To Younus, i will kiss you in heaven." End I.D]

The Prime Override - Chapter 59 is up!

Jango - The Afterlife

I'm back! It's been...2 months since my last update, which is the longest break I've taken from this fic ;_;

STILL, eventual update is better than nothing! I hope! It's a decently long chapter, I hope it satisfies!

In many ways, it’s deeply fitting. The discarded clones, living off of the discarded scraps of the GAR. And the individual who had encouraged Jango to find a life outside of hunting…taking in the souls who had been left discarded by his actions. “Welcome to the Afterlife, a way station for the dead,” Trapper drawls, flopping his hand towards the incredible structure, even as he eyes Jango warily, gauging his reaction.

[txttletale]

the timeless child shit was obviously bad in execution but conceptually giving the doctor an undefined number of extra secret lives they've forgotten is a great idea for the longevity of not only the show itself but opens the door to all sorts of spinoff media and the exact time of Cinematic Universe shit that RTD has said he wants to do. unfortunately, and i cannot stress this enough, it was bad

tbh i don't really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they're all connected it's the same ocean

[headspace-hotel]

no metaphor here just pure confusion...is there a line where one ocean stops and another begins? or is it like a smooth gradient of percentages of one ocean shading into another ocean?

[sea-salted-wolverine]

Yes, there is a line. There are confluences you can see and touch and they are NOT subtle in the slightest.

That's the Atlantic and the Caribbean on a particularly pronounced day.

This is the Indian and the Pacific. It's not always this obvious everywhere but the dividing lines are very much there.

Oceans have their own properties as far as temperature and salinity and unless something like a storm or a current forces them to mix they won't. Mostly this applies to vertical mixing and it gives you things like thermoclines and haloclines but water is wierd and won't mix horizontally either.

The ocean basins tend to have their own currents that go in a circle and define that ocean, and those patterns mix the water within that ocean. Like a washing machine.

The Caribbean has a little loop of its own that not on this map, but that current keeps that ocean pretty internally consistent. It's got clear warm water because of the shallow bowl of limestone sand it sits in. Where it meets the Atlantic with wildly different conditions the water is traveling in opposite directions, and it acts kind of like an oncoming lane of highway traffic. Species that have adapted to a narrow band of temperatures and salinities (most fish) can't cross, while species with a stronger homeostasis hang out there on purpose, (marine mammals, turtles, sharks). Plankton, that cannot control their horizontal movement in the water column, are held in their home territories by these barriers.

my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant person wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and they want to call it a baby it’s a baby. if they're 20 weeks and they want to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if they're 39 weeks and call it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was their baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.
