I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

for those curious, this is joanne, a 15-year-old sumatran tiger currently living at phoenix zoo. it's very sweet to see her playing and tumbling around like this at her age -- she's got some people taking care of her if she still has this energy at that age.

i did see some users in the notes who were concerned about her looking 'scrawny', or wondering if she's maybe a juvenile -- far from it! at 15, joanne is very much considered a geriatric tiger; she's a grandma. she is, however, a sumatran tiger (panthera tigris sumatrae) -- sumatrans are the smallest extant subspecies of tiger, built more for the sweltering jungles of sumatra than the blistering cold of the amur river or the dense forests and mangrove swamps of south asia.

when you're used to seeing amur or amur-bengal hybrid ('generic') tigers on television or online, most of which are often overfed and overweight, a sumatran is going to look a bit weird, but joanne looks to be in wonderful shape -- look at those muscles flex and that coat shimmer when she moves! that's a healthy old lady for sure. props to joanne's keepers for taking such good care of her.

You know how you can't get investor capital without slapping some [Powered by AI] sticker on the white paper? For 1515, that was "going to the new world to look for gold"

Doesn't matter if you found gold or not. If you got back from the new world, you had to tell everyone it was lousy with gold. You shipwrecked off the coast of northern Canada looking for the northwest passage? There was gold there.

Aww man, I just remembered that fic I never wrote about Hondo Ohnaka in Obi-Wan's age cohort at the Jedi Temple. That would have been so fun.

[darklyndsea]

Listen. It's technically a time travel fix-it. However, the thought that the Empire can be prevented doesn't even cross Hondo's mind.

Obi-Wan: oh no, if I age out I'll have to join the service corps

Hondo: That would be a terrible loss when you could instead become a member of my pirate crew!

(I don't really have Hondo's voice down)

Anyway, Obi-Wan's cohort grows up with Hondo as one of them, and he's not malicious so they don't get bad feelings in the Force about him or his pirate crew and they see it as a valid alternative, which reduces some of the pressure and fear of not being chosen. Meanwhile the creche masters are cashing in every favor they can to get masters to think about taking a padawan so that there won't be half trained force sensitive pirates.
