tumblr is so funny within my mutual circle ppl will be like cannibalism as a metaphor for sex is honestly so overdone 🙄 like it’s not even transgressive anymore it’s just vanilla atp 🙄 and then you go a little too far outside that circle and people are trigger tagging memes about infidelity
me, to my roommates: cnc is vanilla, practically everyone i've ever fucked has been into cnc. incest is also just something that everyone is into, it's basically the #1 porn search category. i'm a little embarrassed about how normal my kinks are, since the weirdest shit i'm into is basically knifeplay and bloodplay and intox...
VERSION 1 of my boy Warbrand!! Lots of information under the cut.
I'm feeling him out right now.
RC - 1337 "Warbrand" prev "Leet"
Advanced Commando Augment Specialist
A clone whose job is to temporarily become the spine of a collapsing unit.
He is deployed to reinforce underperforming clone squads, stabilize command structure under durress, and/or act in place of Jedi/Generals on specific missions.
5 years older than Gen-pop clones like Rex and Fives, so they look up to him a bit.
Leet - old name he outwardly hated but secretly enjoyed because his brothers gave it to him.
Warbrand - named because he fell against a superheated Droid blaster and the design got branded onto his thigh or bicep, i havent decided. He wears his hair in a messy faux-hawk with gray streaks and he has an x shaped scar near his temple... He was suffering debilitating migraines after a fight with Ventress where he had gotten struck hard in the head. He distrusts medical droids so he got Sun-Spot to check him out instead. They discovered a tumor. They removed it, but he still gets migraines :)
They find out much later they removed his inhibitor chip.
----------------------------
Calm, cool, and collected. He can come off gruff when first meeting him, but get to know him and hes one of the most loyal clones... to his brothers and friends that is.
His issue is that he sees himself as disconnected from the wider gen-pop of clones, similar to how the Bad Batch feel about it. The issue is he WANTS to be accepted but knows hes different in ways he cant reconcile... the other clones literally do not see this and most would break rules for him. He's a beloved clone to those who have worked with him.
He lacks the ability to register the attention of the other clones as belonging and sees himself as too different.
He associates himself with "my presence means something is wrong. I fix it and move on to the next problem." He feel alienated in that he is able to integrate with nearly every Squad he comes across, but to him it doesn't feel like belonging, it just feels like hes fulfilling his programming. He is always moving from Squad to Squad and getting isolated unintentionally by the higher ups.
He typically works under two Jedi Generals. One is incredibly strict with his clones, treating him as a soldier, named (something). The other is more of an empathetic style of Jedi, who adores the clones under her care, named Nees Antose.
Other clones and squads he's helped:
"Flock" Squad
Diablo (Flametrooper/Commander)
Crow (BARC trooper + ARC trooper)
Grackle (recon specialist/can mimic voices)
Firehawk (jetpack trooper, named after the starwars animal)
"Escort" Squad
Loadout (heavy weapons/squad commander)
Goggles (recon/tech/diplomacy specialist)
Cotterpin (engineer)
Brakes (pilot)
-- Squad specialized for escorting important people.
"Morbid Joke" Squad
-Pierrot (Arc Trooper commander)
-Carrion (survival specialist and flametrooper)
-Pointe (Clone Sharpshooter)
-Sun-Spot (medic)
AND ANOTHER JOB I INVENTED
"Munitions Twins" Secret Squad
Armament Engineers
Barrel - Special designation 84-R31 (his number looks like his name lol)
Stock - Special designation 84-R32
--they are a couple of troopers who work extremely well under pressure. They specialize in weapons handling and weapon engineering respectively. They are trained to be able to use ANYTHING as a weapon and to create their own on the fly.
Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending
You probably know this but shitpost ruining fun fact for anybody who doesn’t:
When the play first was performed, JM Barrie et al were so concerned this might happen that they instructed the orchestra to drop their instruments and clap at this point, just in case
Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:
Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!"
There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."
The fact that antisemites are using the word "noticing" and "noticing patterns" as dogwhistles is annoying because I do actually notice a lot of stuff, patterns included, and one of the most obvious patterns I've noticed to date is that all antisemitic rhetoric makes no sense if you think critically about it for 5 seconds. Often less
A TERF liked this post so I just want to clarify that another pattern I've noticed is the massive overlap between anti-trans rhetoric and antisemitic rhetoric
just be yourself and don’t care about what other people think! Why would you care about what other people think about you?
(DISCLAIMER: what other people think about you will determine every aspect of your support network, your ability to get housing and employment, the quality of your medical care, how you are treated by the legal system, and how likely people will be to sic the police on you for violating social norms.)
hey, listen, I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think this one is capitalism’s fault. I really don’t think capitalism is responsible for the general concept of social ostracism. We can’t just use capitalism to mean “bad thing-ism” we gotta remember that some words mean things
