Buy cheap art supplies. Draw and paint just to throw the pages away. Write in notebooks and documents only to file them away never to be edited. Sew and sculpt only to donate the results and reuse the materials. Create not for the product but for the process. Enjoy the act of making. Find how liberating it is not to have the pressure of the end result stopping you from starting in the first place.

the human body is an engineering marvel. I sneeze in bright light. if I dont get enough sunlight on my skin I get tired and sad and have to drink a lot of milk to fix it. standing too much hurts, but sitting too much also hurts. if I get a virus, my body will increase its temperature in an attempt to cook it, which also cooks my brain cells. toenails exist. I have to turn the radio down to see better when I drive. there are 17 genes dictating what my hair texture is, but it completely changes when the air is too humid. yawning is contagious. there are more species of bacteria living in my body than there are species of birds in the entire world. every few months I grievously injure my neck by "sleeping on it weird." it took seven million years of human evolution to form me, and now I'm afraid of phone calls.

I think sometimes cats don’t actually know what specifically they want – they’re just generally dissatisfied, so they stand there yelling “I YEARN” on the off chance that you’ll be able to do something about it.

Hot take everyone needs at least one creative hobby to accompany their consumptive ones. I don’t mean just art and writing I mean literally anything where you create something. Embroidery, cooking, knitting, gardening, wood whittling, trap making, needle felting, instrument playing, bug raising, fandom analysis writing, ANYTHING where you do work and can hold the fruits of your labor in you hands. Anything where you MAKE something else.

Something that isn’t a career choice. Something you don’t have to be good at. As long as it brings you joy.

Please get hobbies, they enrich your life.

Why Rey’s Dad isn’t a clone of Palpatine. Real fax no cap

This is my analysis on why the Sheev Palpatine Clone isn’t Sheev Palpatine.

This is my opinion as someone who looks at Sidious pictures and has 50 pictures of him on my phone because I find him handsome.

Before you say, “oh well, they can’t be perfect.” They gave us a near perfect live action cgi copy of Tarkin. There is no excuse for this fuck up. I won’t allow it.

We also know how Sheev looked in Phantom Menace. My man’s apprentice won’t changing that much with a hair cut and decade difference.

Disney, you fucked up casting and it ain’t sliding with me. Before y’all come into the comments tryna defend this, just know that from what I pertained Rey’s father was an escaped Sidious clone.

This post is where I call total cap.

I will be referring to “clone” Sidious as Rey’s daddy because I do not claim him as an authentic sheev Palpatine relative

First, we have the noses.

This nose is not Sheev Palpatine’s nose.

As you can see from the close ups, the noses are nothing alike. Sheev has a thin nose with thin nostrils.

Rey’s daddy ain’t got even a remotely close nose. The nostrils aren’t thin like Sheev’s is.

None yall can look at their nose and they “yeah that’s the same” it’s not.

Lips

This is self explanatory just by looking at the two photos next to each other.

Sheev is my handsome, thin/no lip king. I dunno what the fuck the cloning centers were doing to him but those aren’t Sheev’s lips.

Rey’s daddy got full, conventionally attractive for modern film audiences lips.

Sheev Palpatine doesn’t have those lips. He never has. You don’t get fuller lips with age. The lips he has in life are how they’re stuck as.

Shameful. That’s not Sheev.

Eyes

Their eyes are completely different to each other. They don’t even have the same eyebrows.

Much like lips, your eyes just don’t change with age. Rey’s daddy eye shape looks nothing like Sheev Palpatine’s.

Hair Color and Misc.

Rey’s daddy has brown hair. Sheev Palpatine has auburn hair.

Rey’s daddy and Sheev Palpatine have different facial structures.

Rey’s daddy and Sheev Palpatine have wildly different ears.

Rey’s daddy and Sheev Palpatine have different chin shapes.

Why do I think this happened?

I think JJ Abrams was a fool who hates on the prequels because he’s an oldhead “original trilogy better” type guy.

So he hasn’t watched the Prequel Trilogy enough to know the nuances or even actual appearance of Ian McDiarmid outside of Return of the Jedi

The kindest excuse I can give is that the whole “Rey you’re daddy is an escaped Sheev Clone” was added in last minute and they had already shot the scenes with Rey and her parents. But the man who was Rey’s Daddy wasn’t supposed to be Sheev, but they changed it to generate controversy and have people talk—which they did.

The meanest excuse is that they literally didn’t give a fuck and spent all their money on shitty ass space glacier CGI and cheapo action scenes so that’s why the casting was bad, the set pieces drab as fuck, and everything felt inorganic.

Conclusion.

In conclusion, these two are not the same people. No amount of “disney said this canon” will change this.

This man isn’t sheev palpatine.

Do I know how this man is? No. But I know it’s not Sheev. There’s no excuse for this poor ass, shitty ass casting.

Sheev Palpatine is a distinct looking character and Disney has done very accurate cgi models of past characters.

They made a near identical model of tarkin for Rouge One. A spin off. If a young Sheev Palpatine was to appear, they could have done it and did a good job.

[theskywalkersdeservedbetter]

This is super funny but also just goes to show that the whole "Rey you're a Palpatine" bs was put in last minute. I wonder why AD had to record those lines 3 weeks before the movie premiered in his closet. Very weird, if this is how it was supposed to go.

I wonder what he really said, I really do.

And I still think in the original movie it was Rey who killed her parents (by accident) and that's what she was told in that scene.

[scarlet-pixels]

What would they have done if AD had faked a bad case of laryngytis and emailed them "sorry, can't talk. good luck with that"?
