do y'all even know how much i hate being an "elder queer" at 40? a whole goddamn generation before me was wiped out by a plague that politicians deemed not their problem bc it was killing the "right" people. like. this was OPENLY STATED. i spent a large chunk of my childhood going to funerals. nevermind the fact that killing queer people for being queer wasn't codified into law as a hate crime until i was a junior in high school.

i should NOT be an elder queer, i should be middle at most. i am a middle aged queer. most of the elder queers died.

when i was growing up i didn't go to pride parades, i went to pride marches. because that's 100% what they were in the 80s and 90s.

from the absolute bottom of my heart, LEARN OUR FUCKING HISTORY. a generation was nearly wiped out so you young queers could be here. don't let that have been in vain, please.

sometimes writing isn’t about talent. sometimes it’s about sitting in your chair and suffering for 45 minutes until a single sentence crawls out of your skull

I am finally taking a vacation next week, so no chapter today -- I want to actually unplug.

I guess the biggest problem with tentacle porn is that it seldom has a positive message

Wanted to see if I could accurately draw a Garfield yesterday, and then just kinda kept going. Enjoy my garf crimes.

people should remember that the word "hunk" exists

no, unless he's a young father, that's not a dilf, that's a hunk. If you want to call a childless man a dilf, at least make him middle aged

no, that's not a bear, that's a hunk. Bears must be fat and hairy

no, that's not a himbo, that's a hunk. Himbos must be dumb, beefy and kind simultaneously, if he's just dumb and beefy that's a hunk

like, cmon people, there's nothing wrong with a humble hunk. Why are you so mean to him?

You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

it’s still kinda disappointing that throughout all the game/chapters/patches we’ve never seen some Zakuulans just loosing their shit because of some casual galactic stuff

i mean, you get me, right? they’ve been isolated for centuries and probably have never encountered with aliens/different cultures before Valkorion died. It’s like living in a one small city your whole life without even having an idea of the rest of the world

just take you pick:

Koth literally having a list of the craziest, most weird meals in a galaxy (that even most people of those regions won’t risk touching with a stick) he wants to try. And it’s not like he even likes most of them, but just because it’s weird and fun and omg are those some kind of fried insects’ wings? Give me a pack! Oh, this thing is still alive and probably will try to crawl out of your stomach? I’M ON BITCH. Also he has a whole collections of mini models of Imperial/Republic starships because, yeah, ok, maybe they are less effective and advanced compared to Ethernet Fleet but holy shit the LOOKS!!

some random zakuulans deciding to take a vacation somewhere in the “outlandish” part of the galaxy, and choosing to go to fucking HOTH of all planets. Because like… a planet… THAT IS FULL OF SNOW? AND ICE?? AND NOTHING ELSE?? why would they be interested in megapolises, they already live in one of the most advanced planets in the galaxy? But ilum? tatooine? that’s some unusual shit to go!

SAME zakuulans traveling to more technological worlds and seeing like hutts or ortolans or ugnaughts or smth and be like… is this an animal? it it even sentient?? ho– WAIT IT TALKS?? HOW THE HELL DOES IT TALKS???? no one knows!

Vaylin scrolling through holonet and purely by accident sees some… really weird plant. like defiantly something alien… but it’s pretty and colorful and has a flower in there and she has never seen anything like it and she really REALLY WANTS– anyway Arcann ends up getting her a star wars equivalent of cactus… whatever floats her boat i suppose? The more time goes on and she has a whole damn orangery filled with most exotic flowers/trees/plants of the galaxy. Some of them bites but uhh… Who cares?

knights reading jedi/sith code at larfing at those morons cuz lmao they willingly follow the code that forbids them from falling in love, getting married or having a family?? Pfft, jedi, not only you have zero bitches, you have no understanding of basic social human needs lmao??? Also, how is it absolutely legal to kill your own apprentices if you’re a sith?? Wtf???? That’s not even surprise they’re loosing every war possible, they’re better in exterminating each other than their own fucking enemies!

Senya just randomly asking outlander about other species like:

Senya*points at some alien* is this a human?

Outlander: No, that’s Chiss, they’re humanoid bu-

Senya*points at another*: it that a human?

Outlander: No it’s just a Mirialan, half-lizards

Senya: ok that! *points at miraluka* that IS a human right??

Outlander: no.

Senya: Alright, is there a reason they all look exactly like humans almost drowned in gouache paint? Were they somehow created from human genes? Or did they evolve from us somehow?

Outlander: you ask me??….. I mean… twi’leks were artificially made by Rakata and uh… technically pureblood sith aren’t actually pureblood they… uh… they’re all half-breed because of humans- I d-… I don’t know??? 

Senya: (ಠ_ಠ)

you know… that would probably go another way as well

Up to Muster, Chapter 17: Old Advice, New Application

Quick Quote:

Hemdil finally nodded his head.  “We understand.  We apologize for the deception.”

“It’s not about the deception – that happens all the time in smug deals,” Eva reassured him.  “It’s the logistics.  And I know and my ops manager knows this isn’t going to work without more.  So get to work on what you said you already did.”

Hemdil blinked. 

“You got the security holos, if you watched us from afar,” Eva prodded him.  “You’ve made contact with real people from the Alliance – and did you see the parting gift we left behind?”

Hemdil sheepishly answered, “We ceased watching once you had extricated yourselves.  We would have assisted if you had not been mobile –”

Eva opened a comm.  “HK, can you copy the holovid of the afterparty at the comm tower?  Send it over to Hemdil – I bet there are a lot of droids and people who’d want to see that.”

“Acknowledgement:  Yes, Captain.  Offer: I can enhance the dismemberments that may have been obscured by the smoke and  –” 

Eva turned off the comm – he’d figure it out.  “Make some noise, Hemdil.  You got them barking at Pub bases, probably due to our jackets.  Then you probably got them going to Sith bases thinking it’s a false flag op.  The pirates – who knows what they’re doing to them.” 

Hemdil tilted his head, thinking.  “History says that oppression breeds rebellion.  They will create enough resentment on their own here to ease our recruitment drive.”

“Let them do some of your work for you,” Eva told him.

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

she's got two weapons you can see, at least five that you can't, and she doesn't actually need any of them to kill you

losing a MN state representative to a politically motivated assassination puts the MN house in (slight) republican control (until her spot is filled again) - this is so vile.

Everything about this is horrendous.

the classic Finnish mix of extreme dutifulness and “we will make actual conversation after a silent interaction trial period of 6 weeks, thank you” can be really funny sometimes. told my coworker that I’d like to save the coffee grounds the workplace generated and take them home “for my mushrooms and worms” and she was just like “okei” and dutifully saved every single grounds-filled filter for weeks and weeks. about five weeks into this whole thing, after I thank her for the coffee grounds and tell her my worms must love them because they’re breeding very enthusiastically, she finally asks “so your worms… do they have a purpose or are they just… worms”. like sure I’ll save you all these coffee grounds every single time I drink coffee, 3+ times a day, but god forbid I inquire about your specific worm habits before propriety allows it. you could be eating them for breakfast for all I know but that’s your business

swtor would make a mint if they offered "replay cut scenes" with "change your outfit!" and "change your dialogue" options.

When you’re getting ready to face the Emperor, only to be confronted by your greatest foe - Your Disobedient Cape

I am ditching this outfit as soon as I start KOTFE.
