I'm doing very well thank you. I've had a steady job for 10 years!

But don't you worry your silly little head I'm gonna make a video with all the racists posts I'm collecting lol.

mod ali

Btw you're this white woman

my comments aren't turned off you literally have to be following us for 2 weeks or more to reply.

Don't go gaslighting me

there's our complete interactions and literally in your original post here:

you are angry that travis scott is in it. proving you're antiblack so yeah you are racist. and I'm not even a huge nolan fan. he whitewashed the Batman trilogy by casting white actors for Ras al Ghul, Talia and Bane. But he's learning!!! He's progressing with the way he choosing to include people of color in his movies. You on the other hand clearly can't handle being called out on your racism. But that's fine keep filling up my inbox I'm just gonna delete you from now on. I do however want my followers to know that its interesting how you're goth coded what with the #morbid girl and what not.

Followers just in case you want a video explaining racism in goth spaces here's a good video essay by Shonalika

A canon interracial couple exists "I just don't see their chemistry" proceeds to fanon ship [insert white character] instead, claiming they have more of a connection.

"It's not their skin color, I just don't like them for some reason, btw, here are my top 5 [insert white actors] I think are better suited"

"Not everything is about race". They say, as they prop up every white character over any character of color.

"Please stop bring race drama into the fandom". Which translates to, I'm comfortable in my racism and don't appreciate any criticism, thanks!

White person, "Yeah, I wrote character of color as an animal, doesn't make me racist".

"I love character of color, here's a fic where they act like as [insert white characters] servant/therapist".

Character of color is such a bad friend for having opinions of their own/taking care of themselves instead of putting their friend [insert white character] first.

A character of color is morally ambiguous or a villain, gets redemption arc. "They're awful and haven't been condemned enough of their crimes". Stans [insert white characters] who did the exact same crimes or was a villain who's redemption arc is praised.

"Can't believe that character of color had the nerve not to die as a selfless sacrifice for [insert white character]".

"POC actress/actor is too ethnic and they'd ruin the character".

"I haven't seen racism in the fandom therefore it isn't there".

"Character of color is the main character of the show sure, but let's be honest, everyone came for [insert white character]

"Character of color is alright but I can only relate to [insert white character]".

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

The first step to being a Padawan isn’t convincing your potential Master to take you on, it’s getting them to fight you in the first place.

So imagine all those tiny Jedi throwing themselves at the Chosen One and Anakin just striding through like the tall bastard he is, ignoring the occasional flying tackle attempt and dancing aside from small fists without looking up from his latest speeder schematics. 

And imagine the traps they attempt to set, hoping to corner him into a confrontation - a tactic that would actually be quite effective, were it not for the fact that Anakin Skywalker was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and we all know their mutual stance on traps…

(Speaking of which, consider how many attempts there are after Anakin’s knighting to earn a place as Obi-Wan’s new Padawan - the poor man is constantly battling rugrats as well!) 

Snips wins her place through cunning and persistence. I’m thinking it involves her pretending to be after Obi-Wan as a Master, a carefully timed post mission encounter and a plate of cookies or something - while keeping up light conversation she makes sure to steal the last treat out of Anakin’s fingers prompting him to chase her and thus initiating a fight. Anakin and Obi-Wan will boast about this for YEARS. 

But anyway aside from cunning old Jedi who can evade like whoa, consider the second part of this whole ritual. The begging to be trained.

Consider the idea of a smol Anakin clearing his throat and humbling requesting Obi-Wan take him on as his Padawan learner and Obi-Wan being like “Yes! Of course!” and Anakin pouting and insisting it’s not fair if he doesn’t do this right! Obi-Wan needs to be persuaded like tradition says! He made an entire list of  arguments! So Obi-Wan has to sit there and hide his smile while he gives pro forma rejections for Anakin to rebut. 

The council are in need of medical assistance at this point due to excessive laughter.

But also consider the other partnership we haven’t looked at yet.

And he is an EXPERT at making those opportunities look natural. The food stealing fool technique we see him use with Luke is one of the most obvious plays in his repertoire and one he relishes as his reputation means he hasn’t been able to use since his second century! 

Other “simple” openings he has utilised in the past include inviting philosophical disagreement to the point of the initiate throwing the first punch, humming off pitch in a most repetitive manner for hours on end, and pretending to trip over his gimmer stick. 

But don’t be fooled. Yoda chooses his padawans carefully. He tailors his approach to give them the most incentive to want to prove their worth. The trap he set for Dooku involved injuring his self pride and insinuating that Dooku was too straightforward in his thinking, causing the boy to create a plan involving weeks of prep time, multiple changes to temple schedules and a bit of minor sabotage. Just to prove Yoda wrong.

Dooku is deeply unnerved by the muddy gremlin child (all children are gremlins, of course, but some at least strive for dignity). An expert duelist skilled in misdirection, Dooku becomes little more than a ghost anytime Qui-Gon is in the vicinity.

Six months pass, and while Qui-Gon doesn’t appear to be giving up, he also doesn’t appear to be very good at this. His strategy more or less seems to be charging full speed directly in Dooku’s direction anytime the man steps foot in the temple. Dooku thinks it should be simple enough to avoid the blundering initiate until he gives up or ages out. It’s easily done to take back-to-back missions in any case. He’s an hour from the temple, en route to one such assignment when he blacks out.

He wakes up in a moderately sized cell, well stocked with food, water, and Qui-Gon Fucking Jinn. 

They look at each other.

“You do realize that the temple is hardly going to approve of an apprenticeship begun with an initiate knowingly interfering with a Jedi mission”

“There is no mission,” Qui-Gon explains cheerfully. “I’ve had a friend in the Rodian system submit and withdraw a request for Jedi aid matching your skillset whenever you were in temple. No one will be expecting you to check in for weeks, and I’ve made sure we’re provisioned with everything we need.”

“….You’ve been luring me in to a false sense of complacency with your direct attempts. And by harassing me into taking back-to-back missions, you made my movements predictable. Impressive. How did you manage to slip around my guard long enough to drug me?”

“I’ll tell you if you beat me in a fight.”

“I see. And I imagine if I ask you for the keycode to get out of this cell, your reply would be much the same.”
