It Will Come Back

one must imagine the tumblr mutual happy

Playing with friends might as well be drugs

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

it’s crazy to me how ice water is a uniquely american phenomenon. it’s the greatest drink in the entire world. how have other countries not hopped on board? genuinely don’t understand how sparkling water is ubiquitous in a way that simple ice water isn’t. whenever i ask for ice water outside the u.s., they put 2 ice cubes in a glass, and i’m always too ashamed of being american to ask for more. but it’s our single healthy habit! luckily i am always prepared (half gallon insulated water bottle that i fill with ice myself and then fill with water and always carry around with me) but it really is baffling every time i travel.

ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be into shit no one cares about

Any take on Luke as just a normal kid whining about freedom should probably account for the fact that he lives on a lawless desert planet controlled by gangsters who kept his father and grandmother as slaves

#luke simultaneously hates the empire AND is desperate to join the imperial academy because it’s his only way out. he can’t afford to leave#not in a danger sense in a material sense. he doesn’t have the resources or the money to ever leave that world—#a world in which his caring gruff uncle is his uncle (and very much not his father) because owen’s father bought luke’s grandmother#to free/marry her—shmi’s freedom and shmi’s marriage to cliegg are inextricably tied together. she’s described just as a good wife—#luke undoubtedly sees her grave (necessary bc she got abducted and tortured to death!) every day as he does his chores so they can. survive#i’m not saying anh luke is actually mature and overtly haunted bc of this—just that fandom seems a lot more comfortable#considering the ways in which luke is sheltered from basic realities of leia’s life than the ways the reverse is also true.#i actually think sw is not completely oblivious and careless about this either. leia’s class really does inform almost everything about her#it’s not super deep about it but it’s there. think of her first kneejerk reaction to chewbacca and how her reactions to han’s misogyny#often invoke class in some way—esp earlier on (and no it’s not just banter). like… i love her and this is actually part of why.#she’s not just strong female character™; her personality is actually informed by both the horrors and luxuries of the life she’s led (X @anghraine)

you leave a discord server alone for half an hour to go shower and there’s a prison wedding happening when you get back
