#ashla regina astrum: my attempt to contain my star wars posts. mainly clone wars, but also jedi: fallen order, original trilogy, and most of the dave filoni properties.

good luck.

There are Star Wars things that are named after real life historical things and nothing will ever give me as much whiplash as reading “Ahsoka” in an actual history book

Spicy stuff has an unusually high ceiling, it seems like. Salty foods can only be as salty as salt. Even the sourest candy of all time poses basically no challenge to an adult palate. Spicy foods, though? They can be spicy enough to make you throw up and that’s not even approaching the spiciest food ever. A spicy food can kill you by being spicy

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

Sour absolutely has a high ceiling. It’s just caused by acidity, isn’t it? We could go all the way to “dangerously corrosive”, could we not?

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

One time, I ate so much sour candy in one sitting that my tongue started actually bleeding

[integer-disarray]

I tasted hydrochloric acid in high school and it was so sour it left a visible burn on my tongue

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

you what now

It destroys me to think that Cal didn't mind the banners with his wanted list just to let his loved ones know that he was alive. 💔

I have been drinking so I have stupid idea. I think it would be very interesting to do a sociological study on Tumblr. I'm not sure of what yet. it's gone through some weird times: david karp era, yahoo era, porn ban era, automattic era. there are overlaps in all of them, and you can (for the most part) feel them. almost like childhood, teenage years, "adulthood", actual adulthood. it's also very unique compared to other social media.

one unique thing: posts have longevity here. "legendary" posts that have cemented a place in my vocabulary might have 60k notes because it keeps popping up and it's *funny*. I also see posts (gifsets, apjvff posts, aesthetic photosets) from 10+ years ago on the dash, often some that have barely cracked 1000 notes. you don't see that on any other social media.

tumblr is not heavily algorithmically driven like twitter is and I think that's a big part of what makes it feel very human. long posts allow more unconventional free-flow and creative thinking. paid/subscriber posts were phased out a while ago. posts on twitter feel like single-shot jabs and QRTs feel like quick comebacks while reblogs on tumblr encourage collaboration, even if they're annoying. tumblr also feels focused on hanging out with friends. I don't really hang out with friends on twitter, I just lurk and scroll, but it feels much more friendly that twitter does.

this place is weird and I want to record what it's actually like somewhere. maybe I'll just open a file in ~/documents/notes/2026-06-12-metablog.txt and write about it more.

saw someone mix up "abysmal" and "abyssal" today, so as a reminder:

her skills are abysmal = she is unskilled

her skills are abyssal = her abilities draw upon the forbidden power of the dark void

we’ll burn that bridge when we get there

[glacia-posts]

One of my favorite things to say

[cyle]

i love it when people say it that way. like a true dad, i always retort "maybe we should burn the bridge AFTER we cross it"

If I killed someone I'd be so impossible to find online I'd be posting "Feels really good not being a killer and having never killed anyone ever"

[conzoop]

my "I havent killed anyone" post has a lot of people asking questions answered by aforementioned post

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

First humans ever to leave the solar system suddenly drop out of communications and the ship can't be found with any equipment. After one month of no contact their home countries start reluctantly holding funerals for the space heroes only for them all to turn up, healthy, well fed and extremely disoriented, in the middle of Tokyo, talking about alien abduction. Turns out that aliens found the poor humans straying out of their solar system, presumably lost, and took them to Alien Wildlife Rehabilitation before dumping them back in the middle of their native habitat.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#bonus points if none if the crew are Japanese#aliens just dropped where they thought was best

I literally just googled "city with the highest population"

[marlynnofmany]

I’ll bet they have cool new tattoos that turn out to be tracking devices too. Just in case these spirited individuals try to make another break for it.

[teal-deer]

... do the tats make them stupid popular, like that time scientists gave birds tracker anklets and it accidentally made them ultra fuckable

[marlynnofmany]

Let’s say yes. Those alien scientists are learning so much, and none of it is accurate.

[simon-pitch]

i think many ppl still dont understand the concept of simon's magic and question, just like him, whether he was magical or not. simon was born from a ritual designed by davy and his obsession with the prophecy of the chosen one, and simon was indeed born the most powerful being in years. his birth was an anomaly and canonically shook the world of mages, with the first dead spot appearing the moment he was born. so the simple explanation for everything is that the induced birth of such a powerful creature was not natural, and thats why he brought so much destruction, bc so much magic wasnt normal and needed to come from somewhere for him to use it. simon was indeed magical, especially since he is the son of two sorcerers, but his enormous level of magic was induced by davy's rituals, and the universe simply demanded it back, bc no one could have so much magic, it wasnt natural.

thats why simon is both the good and the evil of the prophecy at the same time, his existence brought evil, but he himself was the savior of all. he was the chosen one.

[lichen-punk]

honestly i think the reason why it’s so common for kids to have the “it’s not a phase, mom” argument in their adolescence is less because they genuinely plan for their current state of being to remain utterly unchanged forever and more because they’re tired of having their interests/self expression/beliefs/etc dismissed as foolish due to being probably temporary

i know that when i was that age i certainly wasn’t thinking about whether or not i’d be into whatever shit i was into then when i was 80, all i knew was that i was sick of feeling like the adults in my life were just rolling their eyes and waiting out everything that was important to me at that moment

[anarchopuppy]

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

[anonpolls]

A strange genie appears and has an offer for you. You’ll be cured of all, you’ll have a stable job you’re happy with, and you’ll basically just live the best life you can imagine. However, there’s a catch—you’ll have to relive one specific grade level from middle or high school (the genie is American).

Which would you pick?

6th grade

7th grade

8th grade

9th/freshman year

10th/sophomore year

11th/junior year

12th/senior year

decline the magician’s offer

none, i am the magician

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."

[mentohol-blog]

My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.

[just7frogsinapeoplesuit]

For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish

[direhydroid]

also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.

also worth noting that who you are to them doesn’t matter. they’ll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. they’re just Like That.

Oh, no, tsundere isn't the right term because we aren't trying to hide anything.

We're not about to leave you stranded but we really do think you're an idiot for getting yourself into the situation.
