The Lion-Headed Goddess of War

Learning this was an intentional genocide changed me.

honestly something so entertaining to me about tay kolma telling milf mothma or whatever her name is that his politics are too dark and twisted for her to comprehend. meanwhile he's talking to the woker. i just feel like thats an excellent subplot to be dealing with. you reconnect with your old best friend from before she got married off to her socialite malewife thinking you'll shock her with your crazy libdem politics meanwhile she's personally funding a galaxy-wide rebellion out of her personal spending account and doesnt gaf. sort of thing that would have me going home and screaming into a cushion

Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome

May we never become so obsessed with representation that we forget the sanctity of privacy.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with relating to characters, “they’re literally me” etc but if that’s the only way you engage with stories you’re kinda missing the whole point of Characters being vehicles through which we can see perspectives outside of our own. and also you’re going to get upset when the Character acts in a way that is not Personally Relatable to You

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!
