Reblog for “imagine pleasant nonsense”
star wars is so fucking stupid, I love it
Prime example of why being a fanfic writer is painful
star wars fuckery to english glossary: the reader’s digest version
the star wars universe has no official name but in fandom you’ll see it shortened to GFFA for “galaxy far, far away”
glass - transparisteel
metal used in construction - durasteel
very strong space-plastic (used in stormtrooper armor) - duraplast
tablet computer (analogous to a PADD in trek) - datapad
rather than paper, handwriting is usually done with a stylus on flimsiplast (flimsi/flimsy for short)
holos are 3-d videos or videomessages, recorded and played on a holoprojector (these are often seen in small formats, palm-sized - analogous to like. a GoPro.)
we don’t drive cars, we drive landspeeders or speeder bikes
we don’t shoot guns, we shoot blasters
if you didn’t bring a knife to a gun fight, you perhaps brought a vibroblade instead - an edged weapon that, you guessed it, vibrates. little ones could be called vibroshivs or vibroknives. we actually got to see polearm versions of these in The Mandalorian! it was very exciting.
robots in GFFA are, of course, droids. astromech droids (astromechs) are the like. iphones of the droid world - ubiquitous, multipurpose, most with a similar aesthetic. R2-D2 and BB-8 are both astromech droids. human-shaped droids like C-3P0 are protocol droids.
got a papercut? a nasty flesh wound? a missing chunk of your torso, perhaps? slap a bacta-patch on it or take a dip in a bacta tank for a soothing treatment with this all-purpose miracle healing goo. this is what diapered Luke is bobbing around in during the early part of Empire Strikes Back.
you’re supposed to say kriff/kriffing instead of “damn,” “shit,” or “fuck/fucking,” but this is for cowards. let Obi-Wan cuss.
midichlorians - ignore them.
before the Empire comes to power, baby jedi who can’t hack it as knights or are never chosen to be Padawan apprentices become members of the Service Corps, the branches of which are the Agricultural Corps (AgriCorps), Medical Corps (MedCorps), Educational Corps (EduCorps), Exploration Corps (ExplorCorps)
dates are expressed (typically) as [date] Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) or [date] After the Battle of Yavin (ABY). for instance, the sequel trilogy begins in 34 ABY.
and, yes: that famous cantina tune from Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes is in a musical style called jizz. because star wars is incredibly stupid.
popcorn is called bang-corn, because obviously the earth-centric aspect of popcorn is the popping, not the corn.
No, back the fuck up, the Cantina music is called what now
I literally ask every time. OH, but I got “shit” in Queen’s Peril, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OH AND ALSO
I had Panaka eating red bean buns in the first draft, and Story Group was all “can you make it more Star Wars-y?” and so I looked up a bunch of beans on the Wook, and the FIRST bean I found was a PERSON and the second bean was the dentabean, which I used…but only after reading the article like 14 times to make sure it wasn’t related to toothbrushing.

it’s a problem
Choices, choices. Do I work on my Bespin story or do I start the sequel to Corellian Whiskey that’s been bouncing around my head for weeks?
It’s a hard spot to be in when your place of work doesn’t believe in social distancing.
Sure, I’ll talk to someone for 50 minutes or 2 hours for evals, in a tiny box with no ventilation, with less than 3 feet between me and the client. And I’ll rinse and repeat that up to 8 times a day, as will the other 20+ providers in my building doing the same thing, plus the many many support staff interacting with everyone.
What could possibly go wrong?
IF BERNIE DOESNT WIN THE PRIMARY DO NOT VOTE
If you do this you are fucking stupid. Biden is (marginally) better than trump. He will at least play along with progressives and at the least may be against locking children in cages.
i don’t know how to explain to you that “[he] at the least may be against locking children in cages” is not how a normal human being judges morality
This isn’t a normal situation. Vote.
It’s not a matter of “Oh boo boo this Democrat isn’t exactly what I want cause I don’t like some of what he says”
It’s literally about “you vote for trump and continue to make this country unsafe for every single person that isn’t trump and his immediate friend circle”
You vote for the Democrat because the Democrat isn’t trump.
You vote for the Democrat because the Democrat isn’t one of trumps friends and/or bought out by him and his friends.
You vote for the Democrat because they were not the party that condoned and supported a man thay actively put people and children in cages.
You vote for the Democrat because the Democrat isn’t going to do any more damage than Trump already did.
You vote for the Democrat because not voting means one more chance of a vote against trump being taken away.
You vote because your lack of vote doesn’t affect trump in any negative way and gives him a better chance of winning.
You vote for the Democrat because if you don’t then we get 4 more years of a dictator-type man who gives so little care and value to human life that isn’t his own thay he plays with dictators and spends most of his time playing golf on taxpayer money.
You vote for a the Democrat because the last one to get impeached did so because he had consensual sex, whereas our current president didn’t get impeached and he’s touched women sexually without their consent and got off because he has friends in high places and is using his wealth to get away with whatever he wants.
You vote for trhe Democrat because it’s not a matter of oh this Democrat doesn’t really vibe with my morals. You vote because it’s either you do or we risk 4 more years of a man with little restraint who will only get more and more bold and do worse and worse things than he’s already done and no one is safe from that kind of impulsive and selfish behaviour.
Do we let trump stay and only get worse or do we chance a Democrat that isn’t exactly an angel in your eyes?
I would think the choice is obvious. Vote.
If you’re safely able to vote and do not vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is in November, you are every bit as culpable as any of those motherfuckers wearing the “Make America Great Again” hats, if Trump gets re-elected.
You’ll be every bit as guilty of the horrors that follow as every Baby Boomer who won’t stop listening to Fox News.
You will be every bit as responsible for the people who are going to die if Trump gets elected for another four years.
You’re not morally superior, or protesting or whatever the hell your rationale is.
If the “89″ in “hotmeat89″ is a birth year, and toastportent’s bio says he’s 22, then you were both old enough to vote in the LAST election, too.
How did that work out for you? Have you learned NOTHING?
We have been fucking telling you since the middle of 2016 that you need to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is, because America has a two-party system - it sucks, but that’s the reality of the situation - and because throwing your vote away does NOTHING USEFUL.
It’s the height of privilege and selfishness to think you have the luxury of not voting, because you think YOU can survive another 4 years under Trump.
Plenty of people can’t.
You’re not even trying to take your toys and go home. If you don’t get your way, you’d rather smash the board.
People are dying. Children are dying.
Fucking vote.
