potato battery? no. potato usually fried by itself. potato starchy enough to go in oil without batter

[im-mender]

Potato battery? no, it only threatened you, which is assault

[estrogenesis-vaporeongelion]

yes. good. fried potato taste very good with a salt

[onionpwder]

mayhaps a nice nature? (If you feel like it)

i think if i were a jedi i would make it my life mission to make yoda angry. i would give anything to hear his little goblin voice mutter the words “thin fucking ice, you are on” and click his little cane on the ground. i would do anything. kick him as im walking and be like “oh sorry didnt see you there.” go with him to the market and try to buy him for four credits and say “oh my bad i thought you were a head of cabbage.” raise all the chairs in the jedi temple just an inch. catch him while he’s sleeping and paint his little nails and then be like “odd that someone caught you slippin master yoda. wonder who could have done that.” leave crumbs in his seat in the jedi council. i mean i would do anything

if i didnt know who these characters were i’d say its a french indie gay romantic drama that is playing a little too heavily with color symbolism

[wellwaterhysteria]

i think about this post like. once a week. and i mean that.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

[bevsi]

doubly for shipping. at risk if biting the hand that feeds me, a well written fictional relationship should ideally be more than a didactic template for how to have a nice relationship

[wikimb]

I personally don't like characters who are 100% like me. Funny enough if they're waaaaay to similar to me then I get uncomfortable - that's why self-insert OCs aren't something I'd ever do - aside as a total joke.

But I like characters who got a few relatable features but done a bit differently. I like seeing how a character has a different perspective, story or identity than me. But if they happen to have same identity as me in some aspects, I like to see how it interacts with other bits, which are different.

being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.

second update to this today but she just started long form posting to substack. some excerpts:

no one is doing it like her. no one else ever should. here's a link to the whole thing

A Cis Girl's Guide To Picking Up Trans Girls

Picture it: You’re a non-trans girl and you’ve met a stunning, charming, brilliant transgender.

[frailgun]

in my view the central joke of halimede is that even our most fervent and passionate advocate is still banally transmisogynistic, which in her case manifests as ever-present condescension, self-aggrandizement and sexual entitlement. i think about this one a lot:

spectacular. transcendent, if you'll allow me. borderline blanchardian. denying trans women agency in their own sexual proclivities. for her to be a bottom is aberrant, it must be a product of trauma, something to be fixed, and something that only coincidentally makes her un-useful to halimede. it's so dark

[frailgun]

[totalmemoryfailgirl]

I think this is my favorite Halimede tweet. Starts off painfully real, touching, even. Then a sickening turn at the end that recontextualizes the whole thing. Plunges it all straight into hell

[robotgirlphimosis]

I absolutely love how she can post things like this, which dare I say is good analysis of the effects of transmisogyny

And then post stuff like this

these are getting weird

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

[ragsy]

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

the real moral lesson in chess is that you can only move forwards 5-6 times in your life before you're turned into a beautiful queen but also rarely you might be turned into a horse

do you think that alcoholic chick from bocce the rock lets it swang or does she have enough self control to tuck that thang into some shorts

You're in lalaland if you think that woman wears anything else underneath that green dress

honestly fandom has ruined me because now any time i'm in the desert and i see two vast and trunkless legs of stone or a half-sunk shattered visage i'm like "omg just like in Ozymandias" and its like come on girl not every half-sunk shattered visage is Ozymandias
