my headcanon for startrek is that humans look, to vulcans, like a dog frathouse. like signing on to a human ship is exactly that thrillingly loud and frustrating and fast and stupid and fun. the humans are going to dash off to a new sector to see if there are friends there and then they will jump up and down with delight and stuff their faces up against their new friends’ genital array. the humans are going to bark for ten minutes at a rock. the humans want to chase things they can’t possibly catch just because they like running around. the humans are madly passionate about their arbitrary group identities. the humans can be divided into new arbitrary group identities which they will then be passionate about. the humans want to stick their heads out of the window of their starship and go ‘wheee!’. if you step on a human’s paw they will act like you just killed them for about thirty seconds and then want more headpats. the humans can be immediately distracted from crucial duties by the appearance of a small animal. if you howl all the humans in earshot will howl louder just to show off. a human just humped your leg. ‘don’t make it weird bro’ the human says. later the human will dig a weird bug out of the ground and eat it.

Punching a bird changes you. You can never go back to who you were before you punched a bird.

Sometimes it is hard to remember that owls are incredibly dangerous predators seen by cultures throughout the world as ill omens. Especially when they look like toasted marshmallows.

My boss once described them as flying pillows filled with seething hatred.

@copperbadge, you might be interested.

Also, does it ever bother you how many owl things you get notice of?

copperbadge

Flying pillows filled with seething hatred is one of my favorite descriptors of them :D

It’s not the variety so much as the volume and the repeats. Readers, a good rule of thumb is that if the owl has more than 5K reblogs I have probably already seen and reblogged it. :D

i overheard a straight boy complaining about he can’t wear plaid anymore because “lesbians ruined it” and it just made me so happy. i really think that we as a people need to come together and steal more things from straight boys. just contaminate everything they love with the gay. snapbacks. henleys. tapout tshirts. those ugly-ass nike sandals, i hate them but i’m willing to take one for the team if it means i can see more straight boys crying

Black Panther did to Civil War what Nicki Minaj did to Monster.

Has anyone else noticed how, when you have a chronic condition of some kind, that’s there’s always the basic assumption from people around you that you’re not already doing everything you can?

Twitter goes crazy over unlawful arrest of the teen who tried to sell his MacBook

fuzzydunlop07

And so many white people were in her mentions saying “well he shouldn’t have a MacBook” as if this is a fucking Mac vs Windows joke

Fuck the police and fuck the white people who think this is a joke. We can literally be killed over ANYTHING

crying males: “disney is destroying star wars with female leads”

“rogue one also has a female lead? ugh”

“great another mary sue”

me:

I don’t mind if Star Wars has a female lead, as the Star Wars franchise has always been home to strong female characters, I do care if she is another giant Mary Sue like Rey was. Rey was so Mary Sue that it became distracting to the movie. A character with no force training takes down a trained Sith Knight, she flies a freighter designed for two pilots with no help despite the fact she had never left the planet before, and she can also repair said ship with no problem because she had spent years salvaging parts off of a broken star destroyer? The only thing she didn’t do was have all of the male characters try to romance her at once and I thank the force for that small concession.

The only good new character in episode 7 was Finn. The rest of the characterization fell flat or was just used to make Rey ascend to Mary Suedom.

the first time luke flew a spaceship he destroyed the fucking death star.

Kylo Ren: Not a Sith. Not fully trained. Also? Injured by a bowcaster that we’d seen could take out several stormtroopers at a time.

Rey: Literally spent all of her downtime flying a flight simulator to the point that it could no longer throw anything at her she couldn’t handle. For all kinds of ships. Nor did she solely scavenge star destroyers. She spent her entire life scavenging every imaginable wreck on Jakku, and her survival depended on her learning what ships had what parts and what was valuable. This, while competing with other scavengers, most of them working in teams.

Which meant she had to learn how to fight, or else she wouldn’t have gotten out of childhood.

Basically, Rey had way more in-canon reasoning to be as good as she was than Luke Skywalker did–who basically went from never flying much out of atmo to piloting an X-wing under combat conditions and rocking it… apparently just because of genetics and the Force. Who then went on, only half-trained, into a fight that even YODA thought he was going to die in, and survived, against a man literally birthed by the Force, trained as both a Jedi AND a Sith, with about 25 years of combat experience under his belt, whereas Luke had had a lightsaber for about 3 years. What a Mary Sue he was, huh?

Rey had more reason to be what she was than Anakin Skywalker, who accidentally wound up in a fighter and accidentally destroyed a droid ship. Anakin who was such a Mary Sue he was LITERALLY A VIRGIN BIRTH. How Mary Sue is THAT?

The creators, in short, HAD TO GIVE REASONS for every single thing Rey knew how to do, because of assholes like this person, who would take any special skill she had as proof that she was a “Mary Sue” just because she was a female character. No one bothered to give those reasons to Luke or Anakin. Because they’re the hero. OF COURSE they can do the impossible. But Rey? Jesus, what a Mary Sue.

Reblogged for excellent commentary.

(I’d thought the Rey-hating twerp up there was like sixteen, in which case I’d cut them some slack, but nope turns out they’re in their 40s.)

DESTROY THEM REY IS MOST REALISTIC NEW JEDI THUS FAR

carnivaloftherandom

“I don’t mind if…” I literally spent 38 damn years waiting for Rey, who both onscreen and in the tie-in books was given supporting evidence for every skill she HAS, and you, “Don’t mind.” Well I DO MIND. I mind that at 43 years of age, there are still benign ASSHOLES trying to gatekeep not just me, (I’ve been dealing with this shit for 38 years, too. I’ve got a callused soul about it,) but every damn girl and woman who finally feels like she’s got a door into Star Wars. And that’s not counting the actual direct, violent abuse we have been and are still being subjected to. I mind that you have the utter privilege to feel like you get to mind or not, like it MEANS something.

We do not exist BY YOUR LEAVE, we are not impossible, magical Mary Sues just because your experience of what we are capable of is so lacking that it boggles your mind that we might be able to do things at all.
