"Don't question my missing sanity"

some say general kenobi just stands in place like a fortnite character until someone comes over and hugs him. usually it’s cody.

“Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.”

Except that the giant pacific octopus is nowhere near extinct and actually doing just fine.

So not only did he wrestle, kill, and eat a giant octopus- he got it protected from hunting in several locations even though the species doesn’t need protecting. 

It's also common knowledge by now that churches tried to erase all traces of a "mixed" population by destroying most of the statues that depicted these ppl. Especially black Greek ppl. In a similar way Northwestern Europeans took our statues and bleached them. Why I am certain of that? Let's take Delos as an example. Delos was a religious centre, but it wasn't exclusively pandering to those who believed in the Pantheon.

In fact, what we see there is that both Eastern and Southern cultures celebrated similar or parallel forms of gods. Delos was specifically known for the worship of moon and sun gods. Those who worshipped Artemis could do so next to someone who worshipped Isis and someone who worshipped Tanit. Please feel free to Google this, I grew up there.

"Stop perpetuating the myth that we were black" gurl who hurt you. The existence of people with darker skin than yours doesn't erase you. Please calm down. We're not here to hurt you.

2. That time some friends and I went camping and we found a pile of bones wrapped in a garbage bag buried under a log, but the adult supervisor told us it was nothing, so we just put it back and didn’t talk about it again.

3. The time I was getting chased through the woods at night and I realized “wait it’s dark as fuck” so I just held still until the guy gave up and left.

4. The time this dude said he was in love with me and so he was going to cut my head off and dump my body in a lake, so I told him to grow the hell up, but then he got caught stealing girl’s underwear a day later and I never saw him again

5. That one time in college where I was taking a shortcut on my home at night and a car followed me into a dark alley, so I stared directly into the driver’s side of the window and walked towards it to psych them out

6. The night I was out on a walk and this old guy told me he’d locked his keys in his truck and that he needed someone my size to crawl in through the back window for him, so I told him “you know that sounds super suspicious right” and told him where to find a pay phone for a tow truck instead

7. The one time this random guy on the street said he was in love with me and so he was going to follow me home on my bus, so I clapped him on the shoulder and told him that if he got that close to my bus then I was going to throw him under the wheels, but then this really nice homeless man from Nigeria told the guy to fuck off and then checked to make sure he didn’t follow me onboard

8. That big cat with yellow eyes who I found in a well and brought home who used to put rotting meat in my closet and wake me up by chewing on my face, until I put him back outside and never saw him again.

9. My one cousin who used to come over for the summer who kept calling me ‘piñata’ and hitting me with sticks, until he went back home and was sent to juvie cause he finally got caught torturing animals

10. The time I got lost on the way to a meeting and wound up at a circus tent instead, and got followed by a full-out clown for three vacant street blocks

11. The pet hamster I had when I was seven who would scream all night and eventually escaped by ripping a bar out of its cage and wiggling through the hole. My mom caught it and put it back but it lived another year and a half until one night the screaming just stopped

12. The time I was whistling in the woods and something started whistling back, so I went home

13. That one night at summer camp where a group of girls got together to play ‘bloody mary’ in the lavatory and invited me to come with them so I said “no thanks” and stayed with the camp councillors and drank soup instead.

14. The old abandoned house I just moved into with the door that leads into a big empty room full of dirt and empty cooking pots that I just sort of… locked up forever and never go near

15. Once when I was at an ihop I saw a coffee mug do a full 360º spin with nobody touching it, so I said ‘that was neat’ and never ate there again

“Mourning the Fallen”. 

Got absolutely wrecked after finally watching season 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and had to get this piece out of my system. A traumatically beautiful end to a fantastic series. 

these are enlisted people tossed into the meat grinder of war under a commander who is like sauron fucked the terminator and a baby manifested from that union, you’re essentially in a terrifying, hostile environment stalked by terrifying, hostile people the entire time, and there’s a solid chance you’re about to get shot and die. vader being on a battlefield is a major tactical bonus in that he’s a one-man tide-turner, and listen, when you really think you’re about to die, you would be grateful for anything that bumped your survival chances up from 35% to 65%, even if that thing was your commander wantonly slaughtering the enemy right in front of you. there’s blood and guts everywhere but at least you’re alive to see them, you know?

if your superior was a mystic who bought into a strange religion of arcane power, not tangible to you at all but you have definitely seen your commander flip tanks with it, you might think things like blood sacrifice could materially improve his power, and therefore materially improve the chances of you and all of your friends not dying horrible bloody deaths in the maw of war. (considering vader’s psychic powers feed on fear, agony, hatred and rage, a blood sacrifice in his name might actually literally work, which is overwhelmingly funny.)

tall of the empire’s other military officers are people who graduated space west point, either having wealthy families with connections or just connections, who are guaranteed to not give a singular shit about things like “feeding your soldiers” or “do your soldiers have shoes” as is the trend for dudes who never had to worry about those things before. and, granted, vader probably doesn’t give a singular fuck if any of his soldiers are having a particularly good day, but he did spend a chunk of his childhood being exploited for labor and starving at the whims of the guy who owned him, so he is at least more capable of making the logistical jump of “soldiers need food in order to kill the people i want them to kill” than dudes who never thought about that. and if you were starving as fuck, and the only guy who cared overly much about feeding you was a literal wizard, “a cult” might seem like a rational way to thank him. (considering vader’s psychic powers literally feed on vibes, this might actually literally be a rational way to thank him, which is overwhelmingly funny.)
