“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

The idea that young people are getting used to not being able to speak in public about sex, queerness etc without talking around censors, and see this as normal and not a problem, scares me tbh.

The fact that people are so comfortable with being censored that they Voluntarily censor themselves on words and topics that aren’t even being limited is a terrifying sign

I hate to be like the “THIS IS JUST LIKE 1984” guy but. there was literally a thing in that book where you had to say “double plus ungood” instead of “bad” because you weren’t supposed to talk about bad things. if you told me ten years ago that “unalive” was a word that George Orwell had coined for Newspeak I would have believed you.

#what really confuses me is that people don't just use euphemisms more #not a perfect approach but neither is this!#I've also seen wildly inconsistent answers on whether using certain words on TikTok or other platforms actually does get you censored #and I'm sure people are over-doing it as a result #but the part that most frustates me is that it sounds so silly and yet people use it while discussing very serious topics #if we invented some new slang terms that actually sounded sufficiently serious that'd be preferable

How'd I cut back on caffeine? The usual. Diet, discipline. One thing that helped a lot was that I harnessed the void. I tapped into the little incipient void which sits at the heart of every thinking animal, and I fed it. I hatefully nurtured it with every malicious thought, every unkind impulse, every knee-jerk reaction best discarded, and it gorged on these things it metastasized. It swelled past the confines of my heart and fought for space with with my stomach, my liver, my intestines, winning handily, subsuming each in turn, until I was little more than a man-shaped howling wrathful abyss sheathed in taut, paper-thin human hide, wandering through this fallen world in anticipation of whatever fleeting offense finally catalyzes my inevitable rupture and detonation. And now I'm down to two, maybe three cups a day

The Kenobi series should show a flashback to what had to be the weirdest, most awkward conversation in galactic history:

Obi-Wan: [at a pay phone on Tatooine] Hello, is this Owen Lars? H-hello, yes, my name is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Owen: Oh yeah, you worked with my stepbrother, right? Obi-Wan: …you know who I am? Owen: Well I only met Anakin once for like, a day, but I overheard him yelling your name while he was having a meltdown in the other room. Obi-Wan: …that sounds about right. Owen: Also the message you left for him while he was here kind of interrupted my stepmom’s funeral. Obi-Wan: Oh! I, I am sorry about that. Um, anyways, so, I’m actually on Tatooine right now, and – [Luke starts crying] Owen: …do you have a baby with you? Obi-Wan: Ha! Um, yes, actually, so, funny story – well, no, as it happens it’s an entirely not funny story, but er, so turns out Anakin was, uh, married. Owen: Oh yeah? That girl that was with him that time? You know, they kind of stole our protocol droid. And I still can’t find one that speaks Bocce. Obi-Wan: Oh. That’s unfortunate. Anyways, I’m afraid I have some bad news: Anakin and Padme are both, um, sort of…not alive. Anymore. Owen: Oh, I am sorry to hear that. Both of them? What happened? Obi-Wan: … Owen: Hello? Obi-Wan: Yes I’m still here, I just. [clears throat] Well it was a terrible week, and let’s just say the Empire killed them both and leave it at that. Owen: What Empire? Obi-Wan: Oh, right, I should have mentioned that the Republic is over and has been taken over by a fascist regime. And that the Jedi Order’s been destroyed. And as a Jedi, I’m now considered an enemy of the Empire. So I’ve fled here, to Tatooine. [Luke cries again] Owen: So what’s with the baby? Obi-Wan: Right! That’s actually why I’m calling, you see, Anakin and Padme had childr- a child, and he’s with me. But I, I have a bit of a target on my back, you see, and I don’t have a lot of experience with, uh, babies. Owen: [warily] …oh? Obi-Wan: …and I was just thinking, you know, perhaps you’d take him in and raise him and help keep him under the Empire’s radar. It should only be for the next 15, 20 years or so. [pause] 25, max. Owen: … Obi-Wan: I, I won’t be going anywhere, of course! I’m planning to live in this, um, shack I found, beyond the Dune Sea? So I’ll plan to come by every so often to spy – to, uh, supervise, from afar? Owen: Excuse me?! Obi-Wan: Or not! Heh, I don’t, I won’t be any trouble. But I really, really can’t keep the boy myself. Because of the being a fugitive and all. Owen: [the first in several decades of world-weary sighs] OK, come over I guess. Obi-Wan: Wonderful! See you soon.

So, I’m very pleased that people liked this one, but REALLY: I have been laughing about this whole thing for YEARS.

How. HOW. How did Yoda and Bail and Obi-Wan just LEAP to this conclusion? Yoda was just that good at predicting the future that he could sense from the other end of the galaxy that Owen and Beru would take a few-day-old infant from some guy they’d never met before? AND THEY SEEM SO CHILL ABOUT IT IN REVENGE OF THE SITH:

And Bail and Obi-Wan are just like “’k, that sounds like a plan, sure, we’ll send him to total strangers who will for sure be fine with all of this including the fact that Ancient Evil would not hesitate to murder them if any of this is ever discovered” and Obi-Wan is like “yep and I’ll just lurk in the shadows and watch over him” like they are ASSUMING SO MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW.

I’m dying, because what if Obes had hauled his devastated, emotionally and physically scarred body all the way over to Tatooine with a newborn, and Owen and Beru had been like “…uh actually, we’re not interested in having a child, and we’re not even sure if we 100% believe this insane story, especially since we’ve literally never seen or spoken to you before, ever”? Or “sorry, this is just too big of an ask considering the threat to our lives involved here?” WHAT THE HELL WOULD OBI-WAN HAVE DONE? What if he’d shown up and Owen and Beru had moved off planet, or died or something? 😄 Yes, yes: he’s Good and all and so he probably would have attempted to raise Luke on his own at least for a while or something, which would have been mildly disastrous AND hilarious, but also I would DIE LAUGHING if he’d have GONE BACK TO ALDERAAN or something.

Bail, grabbing him by the shirt and yanking him inside his palace, all “what in the hell are you doing here, Kenobi?! We agreed to all go our separate ways until the time is right! What – oh my gods, is that the child?! You brought him BACK here? With you?” I’d be down for the AU where Obi-Wan just sort of moves in with Bail and Breha and becomes the Skytwins’ nanny who has to live in a storage room so as not to be seen in public. Bonus points if Vader shows up at some point and his Force-radar is going CRAZY because is there something in your utilities room, Organa? and Bail has to find a way to get him the hell out of there before Anakin finds Obi-Wan hiding in a laundry basket or something.

phm is decently popular in japan and i mostly see this when i check twitter and see accounts posting pictures of handmade rocky plushies that are so fucking round looking it brings a tear to my eye

sanguine-humor

he keeps me sane

btw, idk if this will be seen by any of the countless people who already have seen and reblogged this post, but heres the original guide posted on how to make the chibi-rocky! the OP also has a separate guide for a more accurate rocky, though obviously less simple of a guide than the little thingy shown off

(im surprised this post gained any attention, haha, if i had known i would have just shared the guides, the more handmade pebbles in the world the better)

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

rneliflua

blorbofication to me is when you love a character in such a laser focus way that you somewhat detach them from the narrative from which they are inserted and treat them in a way roughly similar to how you'd treat an oc for which you still have no story and just like to put them in situations just for fun. which there's nothing wrong with btw, it's just that it can easily lead to people forgetting the character engine in a narrative and not just a barbie doll

i know people feel weird about saying 'nonbinary people are nonbinary' because it's grammatically clumsy at first glance and hit the "and nonbinary people are valid" instead because that isn't but also nonbinary people are nonbinary. pretty essentially. trans men are men, trans women are women, and nonbinary people are nonbinary. and they aren't (universally) 'too powerful to be contained by the gender binary', they aren't (universally) 'creatures', they aren't (universally) 'incomprehensible'. why would you feel weird about saying 'nonbinary' when it fulfills the same purpose as these other phrases?
