Please imagine Force-sensitives using the Force as a bullshit explanation for things that are definitely NOT the will of the Force. example:

“Master Jedi did you leave your dishes in the sink again.”

“The Force works in mysterious ways, young padawan.”

or

“Are you telling me, as Darth on the Dark Council, that the Force caused your calendar to mess up so badly, that all your appointments for the month were erased? And that it wasn’t you accidentally hitting the wrong button?”

“Are you suggesting you understand the Force better than I do, despite not Force-sensitive?”

I had a lot of fun cooking yesterday, which is rare for me because I usually am too lazy to do so! I ended up making (as the 4th image says) panko breaded chicken wings, and a tomato and red wine reduction sauce for the spinich and chive pasta.

Thank goodness my sib was defrosting way too much chicken for me to eat in one go, cuz I wouldn’t have known what to do otherwise. Necessity is the mother of cooking by the seat of your pants, I guess!!!

with kh3 coming out I’m remembering that time i got into kh, had a larxene rp blog on tungle dot com

back when you couldn’t even reblog asks and you had to take screenshots of the q/a and then post that and then continue the thread from there

Back when the new post window was its own separate page and didnt look like a pop-up of the dashboard

Back when the only way you could @ someone was to tag them and their url and hope they’re tracking that tag, and you better not have any dashes in your url bc it left the tags unsearchable bc bad code

I think homestuck got started while i was running that blog?

Oh yeah and then the fanmail thing was introduced lol.

Does anyone remember missing e? Or the first x kit guy? Yeah.

Think I started that blog around the summer after high school, or right about to go to college? Had it for a few years before drama and toxic shit got me to just kinda abandon the blog... that and honestly, considering the only game that came out during that time was birth by sleep, i just lost interest.

Anyway it’s just amusing to learn all this new shit from since when i abandoned the blog. I think larxy and marly have a backstory of some vague shape or form??? tf???? i just made up random shit and could give her whatever goddamn backstory i wanted. Hell i think i made her an electrical engineer or something.

(shocking, i know)

(y’all dont even know how many puns came up lmao)

and then like, just all the nicknames that came up. Most used ones included Sparks, Sparky, Larxy, Larx... Can’t remember if there was anything else. I doodled her a lot, made reaction icons of my own drawings... lmao.

ngl i had some fun. But eventually the toxicity was so much more overwhelming than the fun, and my fav people would kinda just quietly disappear or something would explode into a huge mess. The latter was the case for me.

I’m entertaining the thought of an OC that has that kinda personality, or at least the kind I portayed my larxy as. Mean, caustic, violent, but still has moments where they act like the begrudging big sis to xion or roxy and call them names and shit while helping them out. Kinda neutral evil, or chaotic evil, i guess?

Dunno. I could always use more OCs anyway, right? 😂

Anyway, for those who’ve been patient enough to play the game, i hope y’all have fun. Hope the experience is...

... electrifying.

Y’know what I just realized something about Darth Thanaton.

The way Darth Thanaton acts to the sith inquisitor? All the petulance of a child hidden behind words that are masquerading as the glorification of tradition when it’s actually about what he wants? All the noisiness and talk and all that whining, when he wants everyone to pay attention to him and him alone and cater to his wants?

Well for one thing, he’s always felt so utterly over the top, he felt like a caricature of a supervillain in a kids show, the kind that twirls their mustache before revealing their plans, only to be foiled very easily, if it weren’t for those meddling kids. Kind of like how Count Olaf from the series of unfortunate events is so blatantly evil and hideous both in appearance and actions, but for some goddamn reason only the kids are the ones that see Olaf for what he truly is.

Darth Thanaton reminds me of all of that, and for all of those reasons, I could never take him seriously.

Is he actually powerful and taken seriously in the context of the universe? The answer is yes, of course. But outside of that in-universe context, is Darth Thanaton a powerful character in that he is a complex and interesting character, in that the story moves me in some way shape or form to feel some visceral reaction every time he’s mentioned?

Is he like Hunter from the IA storyline, is he the First Son from the JC storyline, is he like Valkorion/Vitiate, where every time these characters are mentioned, my gut reaction is to make a face and start rambling about how I feel about the character and their complexities?

No.

Every time he’s mentioned, I groan and roll my eyes. My feelings about Darth Thanaton, cartoony caricature of a supervillain, can be summed up as 🙄😒. But do you know what else Darth Thanaton reminds me of?

The current cheeto goblin that lives in the White House.

... Oh wait, that’s right, he doesn’t even live in the white house despite calling himself “”””traditional.”””””””” 🙄😒

I’m grateful that I’m here, for my family+found family+friends who’s been in my life, for however long they have been or are or will be a part of me. And now I’m here, age 25, because of those people at my side. I love my family to hell and back, all its pros and cons included.

Also, one of them got me my first nerf gun, and if that ain’t love, I dunno what love is. (thank u @genderqueers 💖)
