"The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy." is a quote from chapter six of Djuna Barnes's Nightwood, a book I read once and decently enjoyed but am incapable of explaining. Ask me about The Great Gatsby instead.
the Jedi are weird because of their force sensitivity but Anakin’s so much weirder to the point that they’re like ‘he’s weird’. The twins also pick up the weirdness, but they’re a little different to Anakin. They have dreams about the other, their feelings often impact each other, ect. Anakin, who’s never been normal in his life, is like I’m sure this is normal
I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.
He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.
"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.
One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...
Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.
Sokka does not teach or study history, but he does sometimes sit in on lectures about recent history. Whenever he does, several doctoral students flock in to sit near him (even if it's an intro course) so that they can eavesdrop on his grumbling. (No matter how they try, an "overheard utterance" is not a valid source according to their professors. No, we have no sources on the Avatar's bison taking part in combat - sky bison are not war animals and...)
He gets regular deliveries with the Beifong family crest on them, and he goes "sweet, Toph must have found some new minerals" and at this point nobody needs to ask which Toph. He seems to have friends everywhere, literally everywhere. Wang was headed out to this massive swamp to study if it's one big organism, and Sokka told him to find some guy named Hue and "don't mind the loincloth." One time the university gets shut down because the Earth King wants to visit. Oh, visit the University? What an honor- Of fucking course not, he wants to visit Professor Sokka, who yells at him and his royal guards for interrupting his day. The Earth King and his many, many royal guards then sheepishly say sorry and file out.
The last straw is when - not a week after he yelled at the Earth King - the assistant head of the Political Science dept walks in to the faculty lounge to find Sokka having tea with a nice normal man dressed in Earth greens for once, and can't resist a little joke. "Let me guess, you're having tea with the Fire Lord." And then she can instantly tell that she fucked up, because both of them go stock still.
So when the two men awkwardly stand up and proceed to introduce the Fire Lord whose portrait she has in her office because she is the assistant head of Political Science as Li, a server at the Jasmine Dragon, she just says "hello Li" and leaves to find a bottle of something strong.
Hello everyone. Lola has found a new apartment for $115/week, which is a little over $16 USD a day (or $460/month). She's still searching for a job, but this makes it easier for her to spend time on getting to Germany.
We are asking for allies to donate so that she can finally start living a life of he own. Can anyone help by sharing or offering funds?

These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.
All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.
Please donate if you can. Your donation will enable me to buy medicine for my father, and it will save him, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are at stake from hunger, disease, and anemia, and it will end the constant pain. Gofundme
Nader's father needs pain relief. Donate what you can. This is campaign number 4 on the @gazavetters account. I personally assure you that your donations will go directly to Nader, his family, and his ailing father.
Friends, I beg you to help us and donate. You don't know how we will live if this aid stops. My family is large; we are nine people in this family, and we all depend on this aid to survive. Please, please don't hesitate to donate. Please donate now. We need 400 euros to reach 5,000. Please, please donate.
I speak to Nader every day, he's really special to me.
I've said this before, but I'm genuinely amazed by his ability to see beauty everywhere. Despite all odds he asks me for photos of flowers.
Nobody is more or less deserving, but if you can spare $5, my friend could use some dinner, his father could use some painkillers.
If everybody who followed me donated $20 one single time, Nader would have enough money to buy a home. As is, the donations trickle in. Please just give what you can.
I'm currently not working due to a bad injury, so my financial scenario is pretty strained and I can't share much. I would appreciate anyone who can help make up the difference.
everything was set up for anakin to fail, actually
everything was NOT set up for anakin to succeed
he's born as a child slave on a planet no one cares about, he is told to forget his mother who he loves still in chains, he is reluctantly accepted into an order that rejected him for being 'dangerous' and mentored by the man who said so in his earshot and is a rigid conformist, the only person who stuck up for him in that order is DEAD, he is groomed by a sith from the age of 12, his mum dies in an incredibly traumatic way after the jedi, particularly his master, refused to save her, and he does horrible things in his grief, he is thrust into war and he is married to the love of his life who he barely sees at 19. he comes back and the jedi have lost their way to war (they accepted to lead an army of SLAVES he thought slavery was banned in the republic) and palpatine's still grooming him and his overly critical mentor finally said 'I'm proud of you' but not 'I love you', that'll come when you're on fire, and he is haunted by nightmares that means he'll lose the one person who still loves him. he wants to leave the order but he has to stay to save his wife, he can't sleep, and they ask him to commit treason and his mentor says he wanted this and power and he didn't, he just wants to save his wife, the leader who said his future was clouded and never trusted him tells him to just forget about his loved ones and accept their preventable painful deaths; he does not want to be evil. he regrets cutting off mace's arm. he cannot lose his wife. his groomer says he can.
#saying that anakin was set up to succeed is laughable; shit happens to him all the time #those movies are just "how many traumatic events anakin can go through before he breaks" (via @chronologyxxx)
