Me, when I don't have time to write: Ugh I can't wait until I have time to write something!

Me, when I have time to write: What the FUCK this is excruciating

so we know that humans share 50% of their dna with bananas. and also, they say one in four humans are related to genghis khan. using this information, we can determine that genghis khan was 200% banana

this is how political statistics work I think

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

It's absolutely crazy that intellectual labor can wipe you out. It seems like it shouldn't be a thing, like your stores of brain juice shouldn't be able to be depleted in that way.

I feel like a wizard that's out of spell slots, and to me that's a hackish mechanical limitation put in place to try to balance the classes.

#it's fucked and it's bad design #i should be able to write and edit for 20 hours a day #i'm just sitting there how are we even using energy #feels made up (via @softest-punk, emphasis mine)

Your brain is an incredibly energy-intensive organ. It makes up approximately 2% of your total body mass, but at rest it's using 22% of your total energy intake. The only thing that uses the same percentage of energy is all of your skeletal muscle (which is about 40% of your total body mass), with the liver (about 2.6% of your total mass) close behind at 21% (Aragon et al, 2017).

And that's how much energy it's using at rest.

That's the baseline.

So if you're doing lots of intellectual labour, your brain - which already has disproportionately huge energy demand - is going to use even more energy to keep up with the work. That's why you feel so wiped/drained/like you're out of spell slots after high intellectual demand - because your brain is an organ, and you've just done a lot of high-energy work with a high-energy organ.

Feed your brain.

“supporting neil gaiman isn’t as bad as supporting jk rowling because he isn’t using his money to hurt trans people and he doesn’t seem bigoted!” is a real take i’ve seen and i am going to blow a gasket. “he doesn’t seem bigoted” He raped and trafficked women. Paying for his works and engaging in fandom for them is giving him money and good publicity that he uses to curry good favor with the masses and silence his victims in ongoing legal battles. You are enabling a rapist and abuser.

do you guys ever think about that time someone On Here was like "man James Baldwin has some good takes but he's so pretentious about it" and then it was promptly revealed that they had no idea who James Baldwin was and they were under the impression he was some sort of contemporary blogger who they only knew from seeing him quoted on tumblr. I think about that constantly.

did a redraw/update of that formal wear tavra!

this one came out looking much more ceremonial, so I imagine him wearing this during jedi ceremonies/celebrations, maybe knightings or some such.

readmore for my yap about some of the details

obviously this is still inspired by a hanbok, and I added other korean elements to tie in maybe some traditions from Mikkia (korea). I especially like the idea of these norigae (the knotted charms) with longer looser ties that evoke Mikkian tendrils. I imagine these come from a tradition of weaving/tying long natural fibers like tall grasses or reeds :3

theres several more "classic "traditional" jedi elements as well:

the obi and tabards to help sell the classic Jedi silhouette

the hems have been embroidered with elements from the jedi code mantra (which i have repeated alllll over the place, includeing the charms hanging off the belt. hence me thinking this would be a ceremonial outfit. the code is literally woven into this garment.)

the symbols on the headdress I imagine could be stitched with some sort of jedi language, once again repeating the mantra or some other element of the code.

on his wrist he's got the jedi version of a rosary, or worry stones, which are clay beads inscribed with mantras from the code, that are used to help during meditation or stuff like that.

[phi-guy]

endud up also redrawing the other outfit :3 GOTTA get the pop of red in there

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

And once I was told "if you don't agree with their actions, why do you seek their approval"
