I was gonna describe Palpatine’s spaces as like the bloody insides of a large beast, but the more I thought about it

…Palpatine’s office is a womb right? Its where Sidious’ perfect apprentice is developed. He’s nurtured in this space by Palpatine until he Anakin leaves it reborn Vader.

Like there’s really so much to say about Palpatine and yonic symbolism.

He’s also almost an anti-mother. With Anakin only knowing a mother’s love, and both of his major conflicts being about saving his mother and the mother of his children, Palpatine is a perversion of both. With Palpatine eventually replacing both Shmi and Padmé. Initially taking a nurturing role throughout his conflict over his mother, and eventually becoming the person Vader is most dedicated to through his conflict over Padmé.

Shmi’s child (Anakin) dies and is reborn Darth Vader. Idk it’s just paired with the raw bloody entrance like outfit we wears. They’re in this red organ like office and Vader is being born through Sidious. Its almost a gory birth scene.

Then there’s like the inverse of Anakin with his mother happening in this scene. With Palpatine arriving on time.

...okay I had to read the words 'Palpatine and yonic symbolism' with my own two eyes so now you do too. I wish I could find one single thing about this to dispute but I can't.

Sayonara Lara | Ep1 | I want to see it...the ending of a foolish mermaid's tale. The real value of the love that blossoms between mermaid and human! Show me whether it is true love or not, Lara! A tragic heroine, huh? What a dull ending.

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

Might I recommend RSS then?~

There's so many readers out there you can try out (I like Feedbro and Ukagaka Ghosts)

I've got a bunch of comics, a video panel and a written version of said panel you can check out:

Ooop, maybe I should reblog my RSS comic again with my talk on RSS addition. Y'know. Just in case. Oops I dropped my art blog that I update

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

Hi everyone!

TL;DR: I’d love your thoughts and feedback on a TTRPG tool.

My partner and I have been running a two-player campaign for years. Since having kids, finding time to play has become increasingly difficult; we manage to make progress in stolen moments, like at the kitchen table or between bath time and snack time. We play in the Dragon Age setting but use rules cobbled together from various books. We mostly play theater of the mind style, using dice apps on our phones (otherwise, our youngest tries to eat the physical dice...). We used to manage everything via Google Drive and Chrome’s built-in dice roller, but that setup stopped working for us.

I tried WorldAnvil but found it too clunky and ill-suited to our needs. So, my partner (a developer) built a tool to help me with world-building (I wanted to create a wiki since I’ve completely overhauled the original setting, though that’s a story for another time). I needed a timeline with specific features (I’m dyscalculic), and the tool gradually evolved to meet our needs.

My partner wondered if other players and DMs might be interested in it. Since he's not on tumblr, I suggested posting about it here to see if the tool resonates with anyone else. Please feel free to share your feedback, he’d really appreciate it! :)

Guys, PSA, Misfits Market recectly added an AI feature that adds random shit to your cart based on your past purchases.

With the way misfits works, once your shopping window has closed it checks out, charges you, and delivers anything that was in your cart.

So this AI update means that the app will effectively just buy shit automatically, without your knowledge, without you ever opening the app!!!!!!!! I do not want AI using my credit card man fuck this

I had this app downloaded for whenever my car was out of commission and I needed stuff from anywhere too far to bike to. I used it once every couple months. And then I noticed it stole 43 fucking dollars from me and bought a bunch of shit I never even put in my cart and got it delivered to a house I don't even live in anymore 🙃 no I can't dispute the charge

Howard V. Brown (1878-1945), "The Model Workers"

[70sscifiart]

Brown was a really cool 1930s pulp sci-fi magazine artist. This one isn’t sci-fi, but it still might be my favorite work of his! Which is an odd thing to find myself saying, given that — as longtime readers may have noticed over the 13 years I’ve run this blog — I really like sci-fi art.

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter it up until a couple was found having sex inside it; now its jaws are opened only for special occasions like Swedish election days

More

[a-bit-obsessively]

It's in my town!

The whale is opened on election day because election in swedish is val, and whale is ... val.

It's also open on Walpurgis night, because that is called Valborg in swedish...

There is also a persistent rumor that there used to be a café inside of the whale, but there never were.

Finding out Ride Or Die isn't about a woman discovering her wife is an assassin and is instead just about best friends going on the run bc one of them is an assassin is. Like I'm probably going to like it if I ever watch it. But it looked so yuriful in all the trailers..... Why is she kissing that man get him out of here.

[bitchfitch]

like. A mutual was on a gif reblog spree and I was so excited bc I hadn't realized the show was already out ok.. And im seeing these gifs of these two ladies being sweet with each other in between ones of the assassin being awesome and hot and badass.... and then there's some with this Guy and I go "Neat! LGBT solidarity - why is she macking on him. Is this a plot about her and her wife's relationship faultering or something let me google this - it's not. That's not her wife."

[bitchfitch]

Literally Look At This. This should be a lesbian romcom.

I know they say best friends but then there's a 20 year cut to them drinking wine, dancing in their home, and attending book club together. Like. Am I Insane
