PROPAGANDA

Getwin Mittlemind:

A rare Mad social scientist. has also made himself heavily cybernetic, including a memory backup so he can be revived if killed, which he has done many times.

Dr Carmilla:

K so I dnt remember if she has an actual doctorate but if she did it would be revoked very fast She’s an immortal space vampire lesbian who after some toxic yuri created her children to also be immortal after they died (no they’re not actually related but I doubt that matters much) and then made them a part of her band She was thrown out of an airlock by one of her children and iirc she just fucked off never to be seen again until she is alluded to in The Ignominious Demise Of Dr. Pritchard but e never outright saying she’s there so there’s a bit of fan interpretation when it comes to it She also after leaving the mechs starts a different band but alas no one really talks about that one Timelines when it comes to the mechs are messy and so are they and so is Carmilla and she deserves to w

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

I can't help but notice the increasing population of princesses on this site, leaving one extremely important ecological niche underfilled: the sinister royal advisor.

The time of the treacherous vizier is nigh.

hey zootopia 2. why have you made the reptiles (and by the transitive property, birds) people too. you implied there were logical limits, zootopia, by only establishing that mammals were people.

not a peep on reptiles or birds in the whole first movie, zootopia. it's always 'mammals,' zootopia. what fresh can of racist worms have you opened by making reptiles so obviously segregated away, zootopia.

what does the environment look like. it's not the carboniferous any more zootopia. arthropods and amphibians can't keep the whole land-based ecosystem going on their own, zootopia.

what are the large carnivores eating zootopia. you can't keep a tiger alive on bug paste forever zootopia. answer the question zootopia. stop running away from me and answer me zootopia--

Ninja Rule #73:

Konohanin always try to get up off the ground into a tree when they can. If sufficiently flustered, they will do this even when there are barely any trees.

-

Was discussing Konoha ninja habits in a server and joking around, and we were saying that Konoha nin would always seek the instinctive safety of High Up In A Tree

then I commented that it would be pretty silly when they're out on a mission in non-native terrain, and someone proposed the image of Konoha Shinobi all up in a tiny scraggly tree clown-car style

so of course I had to draw it.

The funniest thing about how maids are depicted in a certain kind of fiction is that, like, at least half the time the people who ostensibly own the place don't even really seem to want them to be there? It's often genuinely unclear who their actual employer is, or whether they're getting paid at all – it's like looking at a universe where if you build a fancy enough house, maids just show up, like rats.

Here's a moderately comprehensive list of fallen Jedi, spanning about 7000 years across both canons. I've excluded Jedi who fell in the period between Order 66 and the creation of the New Jedi Order, because those aren't really examples of failings in the Jedi Order itself - they're responses to desperate situations, or the result of specific indoctrination programs (the Inquisitorius).

UNKNOWN ERA Deelguh Lexia Ginorra Drevveka Hoctu (knight) Lerred Lyrrad Yrral Sol Mogra Ter-Idi Tsubaki the Twins Bavik Vannor

THE HUNDRED-YEAR DARKNESS (6900 BBY) The Exiles (twelve Dark Jedi expelled by the Jedi Order)

OLD REPUBLIC (5000-3500 BBY) Exar Kun (knight) Crado Revan (master) Malak (knight) Acaadi Bandon (padawan) Cheiko Bes Bruhn Dar'Nala Desolous (master) Ako Domi (knight) Relin Druur (master) Nomen Karr (master) Karrid Kla Kral Haazen (padawan) Vald Inosp Zona Luka (knight) Lyla (padawan) Suz-Anz (master) Freedon Nadd Nayama Larad Noon Shaela Nuur (knight) Razer/Shakren san Jukii Saes Rogon (padawan) Ki Sazen Nikkos Tyris (knight) Dace Vinagar Voren Renstaal Jaesa Willsaam Kalatosh Zavros

INTER-SITH WARS (3500-2000 BBY) Saalo Morn (padawan) Phanius

NEW SITH WARS (2000-1000 BBY) Radaki (master) Skere Kaan (master) Volfe Karkko (master) Kopecz Githany Set Harth (padawan) Wud Mortell (padawan) Murrtaggh (master)

HIGH REPUBLIC (500-100 BBY) the Stranger Byrch Dyshkava (padawan) Kibh Jeen (padawan) Polvin Kut (master) Azlin Rell (knight) Ruu

CLONE WARS Anakin Skywalker (knight) Pong Krell (knight) Barriss Offee (padawan) Dooku (master, left the order before fall) Asajj Ventress (padawan, technically) Sifo-Dyas (master; possibly) Quinlan Vos (master; depending on the canon) Sora Bulq (master) Nax Cirvan Vydel Dir'Nul (knight) Dustrose (knight; Jensaarai) Jedgar (initiate) Kadann (knight) Bleth Fahr Telloti Cillmam'n/Malleus (initiate/corps) Rav Naaran (knight) Quarmall Kadrian Sey (knight) Shon-Ju (initiate) Tol Skorr (knight) Sukarr Rhad Tarn (knight) Travgen

NEW JEDI ORDER Jacen Solo Dolph/Kueller Desann Bey Gandan Alema Rar

...So, in all of Star Wars canon (some of which is highly suspect) and 7000+ in-universe years, there's been less than 150 fallen Jedi worth noting (who can be confirmed as having fallen while there was an Order capable of placing strictures for them to rebel against). That would amount to a 1.5 percent failure rate against even just the CW 10,000 population, much less the hundreds of thousands (possibly even millions) that actually span that amount of time. The number of Jedi who can be thought of as having fallen in 'living memory' by the time of O66 (i.e. everyone under the Clone Wars and Pre-Clone Wars; i.e. people who can reasonably count against that 10k) is 36, or 0.36 percent.

A retention rate of greater than 99 percent is insanely good.

Like, people can say the Jedi teachings are great and that Anakin was the architect (or at least author) of his own fall/mistakes/etc all they want, and they're not wrong about the latter, and the former is sorta mostly kinda ish true...

And yet

and YET

There is a reason why Jedi keep turning Sith, over and over and over - every darksider group that ever managed to become a major threat to the Republic, in one form or another, has it's origins in one or more Jedi falling.

When it happens again and again and again and again, maybe there's room for some acknowledgement that there's issues there.

Got reminded again of my old coworker who was a massive misogynist but also trans inclusive. Told me he believed trans women are indeed women because "only women would be stupid enough to want to be women"

I wonder what he's doing now
