why are practically none of the popular posts about tech the bad batch right. he’s either white (canon isn’t an excuse), “hot” (as in people trying to make him look uncharacteristically attractive and well-put together), dead (only thing acceptable among these), or dominant. it’s scary. that’s my loser son autisms georg who has 50 versions of block blast 3d all in different languages on his ipad, has the physique of a praying mantis and kinda likes this girl so then to show that he’s interested he smiles at her twice and refuses to ever directly tell her that he enjoys her presence and misses her because he thinks it’s obvious. he sleeps on a generator in his bunker in kamino and threw orange dye on his hair out of curiosity and never fixed it. said hair has never been brushed and is only taken care of when shaved into the worst fucking haircut ever. he wants to study the goddamn zillobeast. first thing he does in his own fucking series was call a droid a slur and then throw a bomb into it’s hands. the only thing slutty about him is his blue jeans. first thing he does in the clone wars was crash a ship and almost kill like 5 people. he plays chess against himself. he has an ego that honestly reaches the sky and yet isn’t exactly self-obsessed but rather very confident in his self-efficacy. he has gamer skulls on his helmet. the masses have confused his dirtiness and foul-play in battle to be equivalent with his sexual nature. he projects an entire autistic meltdown onto his brother. his movements are quite representative of a cat . he has big brown eyes for no fucking reason and has the uncanny ability to look like the cutest thing ever when wearing his helmet. he’s the only one on his team with white/grey armor because he thinks he’s awesome and yknow what. he’s right. he’s inherently ugly and sexless so thus women flock to him like moths to a flame. he genuinely will think they’re interested in his tirades about power converters and the fascinations of spectrograms. he’s a bitch and will yell at you for problems he has caused and invalidate your feelings about it. and he got crushed by a cablecar.
i’m losing the plot here but my point is that i do not think i can take anymore propaganda that tech is a hot normal nerd guy. he does not have a crazy 8-pack, he is studying the natural radiation present within plants for fun. he’s crazy ok you have to know that. he’s not just a nerd there’s something deeply wrong with him and you have to love him like that . ok. also he’s not white and despite all of the whitewashing in his model itself there’s so much to unpack with the deliberate lightening of the skin when relating to an unbelievably intelligent character (which is all obviously disgusting and blatantly racist) so let’s not feed into that stereotype ok. it’s not hard to actually draw him based on temuera morrison so let’s do that instead of drawing sheldon big bang theory.

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!
I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️
a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @
so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.
AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

One thing I find disappointing about some of the Star Wars fandom is how much they hate character development.
Our favs have survived war (often as children), the aftermath of the rise and/or fall of the Empire, the rise of the Second Republic, and/or the rise of Thrawn, the First Order, the Jedi genocide, the bitter, violent, traumatizing loss of their frames of reference for morality and the structure of society, seen their friends and family slaughtered, been unwitting and/or unwilling participants in ecocide, ethnic cleansing, suppression of democratic revolutions, regime change…
That they expect those characters to still be optimistic, idealistic, even naive, innocent children.
One of the themes in Star Wars is the hardening of characters as a defense mechanism to tragedy, betrayal, unfathomable loss. Anakin falls to the Dark Side. Luke goes into self-imposed exile. Ahsoka becomes depressed and cynical. Han is… Han. Boba friggin’ Fett. Yoda exiled himself to Dagoba. Rex, Wolffe, and Gregor go into hiding as grumpy old men.
To think that these characters wouldn’t be affected by that is… childishly naive at best.
But another theme of Star Wars is hope and redemption. Those characters rediscover hope and push through their personal trauma and find purpose and joy and that spark that was between out of them by the cruelties of life. Vader kills Palpatine and confronts Ahsoka. Luke helps Rey and the resistance. Ahsoka becomes Ahsoka the White. Han aids the rebellion. Boba becomes Daimyo and protects his people (and becomes zaddy). Yoda trains Luke. The GAR boys join the rebels.
I get that some people latch onto these idealized characters as a form of comfort and only want to see them as that. But leaving it at that misses the central themes of Star Wars and turns it into a children’s story.
If that’s all you want, then stick to the early stories, but don’t act like the later stories betray the characters. They make the characters more interesting and human.

Remember in Hard Contact where Niner pretends to be mortally wounded so everyone can lure Ghez Hokan into a trap and kill him? Niner “realizes” he doesn’t know how to scream and imitates dying men he’s heard before, but in Ghez’s POV it turns out that Niner is so good at it that he fools our Mandalorian mercenary who has heard plenty of people in pain, sobbing at death’s door before. Ghez buys this completely, at no point realizing that Niner is “acting.”
And I just had the scary thought that Niner might not be acting, and Niner himself maybe doesn’t realize it?
He’s had neither the time nor the space to process the pain and trauma of Geonosis. He does reflect on it in the first chapter where we meet him, but after that it’s non-stop go go go for Omega. Then Darman gets separated from the group almost immediately on Qiilura– the cherry on top would be if Omega does end up losing him too–and later Etain uses the force on Niner twice to help him be calm and have more confidence while worrying less. Things are high stress, they do not stop, and Niner’s constantly trying to be controlled and aware of how others might perceive his behavior. When Niner has to scream as he pretends to be dying, he really doesn’t have to do anything but let out all his built-up negative emotion in one of the most visceral ways possible.

A Rant about the weirdest ship in Star Wars...
I've been watching a lot of Star Wars Recently especially the Clone wars, and my favorite part of the show isn't the plot, characters, and writing even thou those are all spectacular and make the show as good as it is. is this ship.
For context this is the Twilight a G9 Rigger-class light freighter that looks like if you combined the broken down look of the Falcon fused it with a B-wing and put a cube in the middle of it. it's a pretty odd looking ship.
unlike it's design the origins of this ship is pretty normal and make sense in the plot of the clone wars movie the predate the show. Anakin and Ahsoka needing a way to escape the planet Teth and return Jabba's son to Tatooine and when they find a bunch of droid loading this ship they take it fly to Tatooine and crash it in the middle of nowhere the rest of the film happens and ends.
You'd think this would be a one in done ship that after this it would fade into just a one off ship the heroes needed to save the day. Nope. instead Anakin and Ahsoka not only repair the ship to the condition they found it in but keep it and continue to use it in the first FIVE SEASONS OF THE SHOW! the ship makes multiple appearances though out the five seasons showing up 13 times if you include the movie and a book, it also shows up in a few comics. the ship even has multiple toys including a lego sets.
it's even weirder when you think about why they keep it. it's not like the Republic doesn't have ships that can carrier multiple people and large cargo in it so why not use another ship???
so why? why did Anakin and Ahsoka keep the ship?
Well I have a head canon about this ship and why it's so prominent in the series. this ship is a key part in Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship. its the first ship that the two fly together in their first mission together as a teacher and student. we also know the two often get emotionally attached to things unlike many Jedi of the time especially Anakin. so what if Anakin wanting to remember his first moments with his student salvage the ship from Tatooine and repaired it so that they could have a souvenir from their first mission.
this goes even further though. since the ship stops appearing after season five the season Ahsoka leaves the Jedi. the ship was blown up on Mandalore four episodes before the episode Ahsoka Left and on the planet where she would return in the seventh and final season of the show and lead the 501st in one of the last battles of the clone wars.
This is my favorite part of the Clone wars show. in my mind this ship represented the bond between its two protagonist because it was just Anakin or Ahsoka's ship the Twilight was both of their ship.

Something about how Johnny and the Minotaur are the same person. Something about dead fathers and dead sons and dead brothers. Something about the way obsession eats you whole. Something about the unyielding cruelty of war.

So it's apparently...both? lol
It's inconsistent, I think "WAY-lon" and "WAH-lon" (rhymes with "talon") have been used in audio books? But IMHO the latter goes better with the Mando naming convention. 😊
I haven't had Internet since Wednesday so was ANYBODY gonna tell me that Kal Skirata is Senshi Dunmeshi before allowing me to read the Repcomm books myself or HWHAT
in other news besties I am SO delighted to report that Walon Vau and Kal Skirata are my fucking blorbos, they are being crystallized in my mind as we speak I love themmmmmm

Any eating utensil preferences? Depends on the food, but i tend to eat things that don't require utensils.
A genre of music you love? anything with high BPM. Currently dance, EDM, and Purple Disco Machine in particular are on rotation always currently.
A type of seasoning/condiment that would make anything edible for you? **Anything?** idk about that. But many things can be made edible with ketchup, (vegan) ranch, and soy sauce.
Pens or pencils? What kind? Pencils for just about anything especially sketching and writing. for list making, i like pens. gel specifically
What's your weirdest/most interesting hobby? currently, it's loose leaf tea. I bought so much recently. Also, i have ADHD and my "hobbies" can rotate for varying lengths of time.
Favorite real person that you don't personally know? I try not to engage in "parasocial" type stuff, but... Temuera Morrison because of course 😍
How many alarms do you have set? at least 3 normally
Do you have any pets? Do you want some? I have a bearded dragon, a male and female cockatiel (not in the same cage, i dont need babies), and 2 doggos. I had rats and want more but their short lifespans and inherent health issues are a big barrier right now. I'm on an extended break but i'd love to have some again
Favorite drink, alcoholic or non? water, specifically electrolyte flavored water. i cannot drink plain, unflavored water. it makes me feel sick. I odnt drink much at all anymore but once in a while i'll had half an oz of rum to my also rare cola soda
Favorite shoes? Ones I can't even wear because my stupid feet have gotten larger, but my "jedi" boots of some random, generic brand.
Favorite smell? I really like DKNY Be Delicous, but im sensitive to strong smell so i often forgo perfume.
How do you feel about bugs and spiders? So, if I see one in my house, I'll try to catch it and release outside. but roaches and mosquitos are fair game.
Outdoors or indoors? Inside. my 12 year old self would want to LIVE outside
Sunny or rainy? Rainy, but not when i'm driving xP
Where would you really like to visit? Would you move there? New Zealand, Japan, S Korea, and ireland. I wish I could move to any of them.
Are you a people person? hells no
At what temperature do you keep your home (or would if you could?) about 70*F (21*C)
Tag game
Thanks for the tag @alor-ika
Any eating utensil preferences? Depends on what I'm eating, but I have strong opinions about big fork versus small fork based on what I'm eating.
A genre of music you love? Very much mood dependent. Lately, when I'm at home, I've been listening to lo-fi and Star Wars soundtracks (shocker, I know); Kneecap and Irish rebel songs while walking to and from my bus stop for work. Also a big fan of metal, punk, EDM, hip hop for when I need heavy doses of dopamine for something.
A type of seasoning/condiment that would make anything edible for you? Very cuisine-dependent, but I love zhoug.
Pens or pencils? What kind? Sometimes the sensory input of pencil on paper is super satisfying, but I usually use pens. Zebra F-701 metal ballpoint pens are up there as a favorite, even though I hate most other ballpoint pens. The weight of the pen and the smooth glide are A++, especially since I write in cursive and need something that moves smoothly.
What's your weirdest/most interesting hobby? I have ADHD-C, so I have a ton of hobbies that cycle through. I used to box before my most recent serious spine injury. Doing realistic and sci fi builds in Sims 4 is a recent fav. I also have a lot of late iron age/early medieval reproduction stuff from Scandinavia/Baltic/Irish cultures.
Favorite real person that you don't personally know? Motaz Azaiza, Bisan Owda, every medical provider who has risked their life to provide care for Palestinians trapped in the Gaza death camps. May Allah be pleased with them and grant them mercy.
How many alarms do you have set? Seven on weekdays, five on weekends
Do you have any pets? Do you want some? I have a very bossy elderly kitty. He's my child.
Favorite drink, alcoholic or non? I don't drink alcohol. Big fan of zero sugar Canada Dry. I also love karak chai.
Favorite shoes? The Prada combat boots I've worn every day that they're a reasonable option for four years now. I also recently got a pair of Adidas Sambas in cream with olive green stripes and laces (my fav color)
Favorite smell? I'm a perfume collector - like I've lost track of how many I own - and I lean toward smooth, spicy ouds or dark florals
How do you feel about bugs and spiders? Nopenopenope. My partner is the designated bug removal person.
Outdoors or indoors? Indoors most of the time but I do love being in nature
Sunny or rainy? I have arthritis that can get really bad when it's rainy. Seriously, my spine can predict the weather. I grew up in a place that gets huge thunderstorms that can go on for hours, which I miss.
Where would you really like to visit? Would you move there? Mecca and no. I am trying to move to another country, though.
Are you a people person? lol
At what temperature do you keep your home (or would if you could?) Roughly 20C, prefer colder at night so I can be a proper blanket burrito. Can't stand air on my skin sometimes.
@cityscidewalks, @sailorflora @ybereneth
I'm a dumdum about Tumblr etiquette...
