On a Computer Far, Far Away...

A blog started as a place for my Star Wars The Old Republic headcanons, drabbles, ect cetera, because this game spawns them like mad and I need somewhere to put them. Turned into my main blog with an eclectic mix that includes various scifi fandoms, writing, a few rants, some GW2, TSW, Skyrim, FFXIV, LotRO, and Bioware things. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated here. Maybe a bit of RP on the side, who knows. I'm on Ebon Hawk if you wanna play! You can call be Scribs!. :3 Holler at me if you wanna talk, I don't bite and love geekery. My fiance, Taters, has his headcanon involved with mine some, so if you wanna check him out, he's kinda new but sweet and lovely and asdfghsdjkgl ok. His characters that you will see here are Cyraas, Gidaeon, and occasionally Grimlore. http://taterswtor.tumblr.com/

when you break a world record, but a man comes in second (x)

[humanpersonface]

And it’s worth note that Ledecky didn’t just win the 800 freestyle- she obliterated it:

Thats her. And those specks in the distance are her competitors. The second place swimmer was 11 SECONDS behind her. 11 seconds is FOREVER in something like this. Most second place swimmers in most races finish fractions of a second behind the first place swimmer.

Her finishing with none of her competitors in sight. And that yellow line is the previous world record’s pace. Ledecky is more than a full body length ahead.

Which, btw, she did in the 400m freestyle earlier in the games. Seen here:

(The previous world record in this race was held by her, to begin with, btw. As well as the 3 world record times preceding that one.)

So to sum it up: Yeah, Phelps is one of the most decorated Olympic swimmers ever etc etc but him getting silver means jack in the face of the actual-human-avatar-of-Poseidon that is Katie Ledecky.

some more good, wholesome tess greymane/lorna crowley Concepts to contemplate, updated to be legion-specific: 

apparently matching gryphon mounts? will have to re-do alliance broken shore to confirm

assassination rogue alchemy lesbian + prot warrior w/ inexplicable sniper rifle lesbian meta. very good and balanced and they are both melee classes at any rate which means that they probably spar together from time to time, which is uhh hot and should be included in a legion cutscene, blizzard hire me

they’re literally foils look at this. look at this casual expository and character revelatory dialogue 

good potential for high tension political intrigue & espionage and whatnot because u canonically have lorna on the front lines working to thwart whatever sylvanas’ apparently sinister plans are and tess working behind the scenes with the uncrowned to weed out legion infiltration and generally both of them working to protect their people and their place in the alliance in the face of both the legion and the possibility of faction war

not necessarily legion specific but darius is going to cry so embarassingly and so unabashedly at the wedding and so will the 20+ worgen npcs who appear to stand behind him at all possible times. even his kinda trashy & curmudgeonly new on-and-off bf ivar tears up a little. genn smiles fondly as he remembers that time his new daughter in law literally tried to murder him

lorna has like 4238328923 assorted pets/mounts/friendly stray animals that shes responsible for and tess keeps a ton of plants, many of them dangerous in one way or another, and gives them all very long intricate bizarre names and treats them like her own children and their shared living space is a goddamn dr dolittle shop of horrors nightmare 

they both become 17-Odd Year Old Bitter Uncrowned Revolutionary Vanessa VanCleef’s honorary cool lesbian aunts who give her access to all the fancy poison reagants and let her have alcohol & various protective aliases at family gatherings

I disliked Hillary Clinton, until I uncovered the disturbing history of horrible sexism she's endured

It's time for some reflection.

As someone who makes his living wading through political bullshit, I harbored suspicions and dislike for Clinton based on rumor, innuendo, and the framing of the conversation. I’m not sure exactly when I realized I got it wrong, but the more research I do into her background and record, the clearer it becomes that sexism clouded my perception.

I evaluated Clinton by standards I did not hold her male colleagues to.

This is an INCREDIBLY thorough and well-sourced chronicle of the sexism Hillary Clinton has faced through her entire public life, with a personal narrative of working to overcome culturally-ingrained sexism I think we can all relate to.

exeggcute aren’t eggs

they’re seeds

[tasty-salamanders]

Exeggcute being seeds was never a secret, it is right in their Pokédex entries.

“Often mistaken for eggs. When disturbed, they quickly gather and attack in swarms.” - Pokémon Red and Blue

“A Pokémon that is like the seeds of a plant. If you find one and chase it, others will join it without you noticing.” - Pokémon Stadium
