Who would you trust to drive a food truck?
Some guy
A child with a crocodile head
A stripper actively overdosing on space cocaine
The driver you hired
The driver you’ve hired’s zombie
A robot imitation of the driver’s zombie
A sapient cat, daschund and sex doll head working together
i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today
my devoted but dangerously unstable knight will be hearing about this
There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.
-Ritika Jyala, excerpt from The Flesh I Burned
Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian but it’s Toxic by Britney Spears
I’m gonna propose something: if your combat/ass-kicking sequence can’t fit to a top 40 female-vocalist Banger like “Toxic” or “Mama Mia” or “I Need a Hero” you’re not Doing It Right.
At this point its starting to feel like Editors are using 140-150bpm as a standard for action sequences, and I cant say I hate it.
I agree wholeheartedly with every point above but I watched this first with the sound off because I forgot that was an option and what struck me most is how efficient Luke's lightsaber style is. Almost every flourish he makes and all of what, 2 entire spins?, is defensive to better parry blaster fire while nearly every offensive swing he makes is basically a head or chest level kill shot. If I had to make a guess about his character I'd say this vintage twink has probably Seen Some Shit and maybe comes from a background where resources are scarce and help is far away so if you get in a fight you have to end it before it starts or you're dead meat
deeply want a time travel fic where Luke visits the old republic and the Jedi are like “that’s not a dueling style” and luke is like “yea am not doing much dueling tbh”
You know who Luke does resemble in lightsaber form? Vader. Vader's style is, by necessity, limited; he can't do many of those acrobatics that he used to do before he got burned, he can't run very fast, so most of the time he just settles for brutal efficiency.
Luke doesn't have the same limitations, so his style's not quite the same, but it's in the same ballpark. It's basically Vader's style, with a bit more agility and a bit less brutality.
the way he walks out of the fog is also VERY vader's introduction circa a new hope. and using the choking gesture on the droid to crush it. the black cloak. throwing stuff with the force which IS done by other charcters but it reminds me so much of vader throwing shit in especially the games. lots of vader homage in this honestly
its funny cause the Moff is trying to style himself after vader with his outfit. even wants the darksaber to himself. but then luke shows up and out-vaders him in every way possible
This is Just What Happens when you put a Skywalker in a corridor that is also a target rich environment.
You guys.
Luke's fighting style is "looks like a gymnast, hits like a semi truck with a baseball bat and a grudge," and I absolutely love it
You watch some of these moves, and his crashout duel in RotJ, and it's just so funny because his formative combat trauma was getting his hand chopped off by his father.
And he said to himself apparently, yes, I want to fight exactly like that.
It makes absolutely no biomechanical sense! He doesn't have the build for it! Djem So is optimized for seven foot tall cyborg tanks!
HE MAKES IT WORK ANYWAY
And I just love that
You know, there's this cliché that teenage boys always eat massive amounts, but teenage girls really aren't that different if they're not suppressed by diet culture and body shaming. Like, I was a teenage girl who frankly just stopped bothering to fit into mainstream beauty ideals at some point, and I would regularly make myself just one big massive pot of pasta and devour it completely. This wasn't even stress eating or anything, I just genuinely needed the energy because you know, I was a teenager and my body was developing. I feel like so many teenage girls think they need to eat as little as possible to be petite and pretty, but the truth is that your body is developing just as intensely as teenage boys' bodies. Eat more, please, your body needs it.
My elderly father started talking about how frustrating he finds “the pronouns thing” and I was like. Oh no. He had such a good stand on this, he’s been they/them-ing his cishet siblings for god’s sake! Is he regressing?? And he was talking about how difficult it is to remember, and how onerous it feels to expect strangers to keep track of it, and I’m like oh no oh no.
Then he says, “I mean, the problem isn’t the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is a man or woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don’t need to know.”
“You don’t need to know… people’s gender?”
“No. I don’t care, I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to remember it.”
So we can relax. It’s just a continuation of his crusade to they/them the world. He doesn’t want to remember anyone’s gender. He’s abolishing the genders.
Your dad is so powerful
Happy 10th birthday to the best tweet of all time.
1998 nickelodeon trade ad
It’s amazing how they could make an ad from 1998 that looks like a shitpost made a week ago.
Here’s a template
Here’s mine
It was bound to happen.
the thing is is that you'll be like. 11 years old and someone will tell you that you have to shave your legs. either it will be your mum or a friend or a mean girl in the p.e. changing rooms telling you how gross it is that you have hair on your legs. so then you ask your mum about it and she says yep you have to take this razor blade and drag it across your skin under running water and just hope you don't cut yourself too badly and you have to do this every single week and maybe more frequently than that and you have to do that for fucking ever. the rest of your fucking life. because the hair that grows naturally on your legs is gross and ugly and people will laugh and boys won't like you! of course boys have hair on THEIR legs. but that's normal and even attractive and it's just not the same for you. and a few years later they'll say well you obviously should also be shaving your armpits. and then it's your arms and then it's that you have to wax your upper lip and pluck your eyebrows and ewww why do you have hair on your fingers and your toes.. you need to shave that too. and then suddenly you need to buy spray that will make invisible hairs on your face visible so that you can shave that too! and it's expensive and time consuming and difficult and it HURTS but they just say beauty is pain babe! and you're not allowed to say that maybe if beauty is pain then you don't actually want to be beautiful
and i'm so fucking tired of girls who do shave being defensive when this topic comes up because then i have to say well of COURSE it's your personal choice whether you want to shave or not! no offense! maybe it makes you feel empowered! you do it for YOURSELF! because that's bullshit and i actually DO think you should stop shaving your legs because it's not fucking empowering it's insane. if you give it more than a minute of thought it can't possibly be empowering. you're in a PRISON!!!!! and i was in the prison too okay and i know it seems hard to break out but i promise you it's not. and the more people we can break out of the prison the easier it gets for everyone else i swear to god. please
pros for stopping shaving: save time money pain, reserve fucks for future ventures so you have some left to give
cons for stopping shaving: people you don't ultimately want in your life will disapprove
try stopping shaving for a month I promise you you will want to extend it to infinity months thereafter
also like. I could see getting hassled for this in middle school because middle school. but if you're a whole ass adult I promise you people are too busy to look at your legs and your pits, most clothes cover them anyway. and if you're a teenager now it's a great time to sort your friends into "chill people to keep forever" and "judgy pricks to put in the compost bin"

In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.
Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?
Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:
for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.
Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.
This is legitimately brilliant. Bug burndown reports (the rate at which your software team can close bugs) is a major metric for most software houses.
It takes an extra step in our part, but this is part of what makes it effective. It's not one click, one reblog activism and it hits them where they care: their damn KPIs.

okay but imagine how inconvenient the streets of Central City, Amestris, is. Like yeah yeah country wide alchemy circle aside- can you IMAGINE the traffic? Like for the Love of Truth can we add another lane on this road?? The cars are backed up for miles! The urban planning board must be the sorriest people in the world. They got no clue what an alchemist circle looks like BUT the Fuhrer keeps showing up for an ominous visit every time they try to get a modicum of reasonable city layout. The zoning laws have got to be pure evil.
how many accidents do you think there are on the Central Command Roundabout in an average day
The crest of blood in the center was carved over the course of multiple years via traffic fatalities
At that point who even needs a genocide.
it's so funny how the mcu has so closely replicated the comics fan experience of like, "don't worry about like the plots. the things happening are like 90% really stupid, you just have to accept that. the meat is in the character writing. which is unfortunately also bad."
"and in order for half of it to make sense you had to have gotten into it many years ago and kept up with the homework"
"Blorbo is my favorite character! He has 89,324 appearances spanning decades!"
"Great! What do you recommend?"
"One writer in mid-2014 had like, half a plot that was great before it was handed off to someone who hated him and possibly had a vendetta against the art director. But man, a great 2-3 months of real character stuff there."

This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.
so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call
OK, this is super neat and also a great tool for writers’
