in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

Everyone knows that the United States is the only high-income country without universal health insurance. According to the standard narrative, this is the inevitable result of U.S. exceptionalism — our different values, culture, and institutions.

Not so. The impetus for universal coverage is as strong in the United States as in any other country.

In fact, the United States enacted the world’s very first national, compulsory health insurance law.

In 1798.

No, that’s not a typo. Nor is it merely an esoteric piece of historical trivia.

The driving force behind that early, federal health insurance mandate speaks volumes to the problem that the United States has been trying — and failing — to solve for centuries: how to provide access to essential health care, regardless of resources.

dev having a one-sided crush on hazel in a “baby’s first time experiencing kindness” way. like one drop of compassion directed towards him and hes head over heels. hes just THAT starved of meaningful human connection. he has never had someone that genuinely cares about him before.

look at his face. LOOK AT HIS FACE. all hazel did was be all “we’re cool no worries” and LOOK AT HIS FACE

i love him so much i want to put him in a microwave until he explodes

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

School days in District 12

Personally I love pre-canon Everlark because on one hand you have Peeta who has been crushing for 11 years straight, and on the other hand Katniss pretends she doesn't notice him but really she does. I was inspired by this Katniss design for her outfit!

Thinking again about the fact that when Eddie and Dustin finally convince Steve to play DnD with the party, all of them, but especially Eddie, quickly become exasperated with Steve who has extremely high charisma, and decides that he can fix almost any situation by flirting with whoever they were in conflict with. Especially the fucking monsters, this man is bound and determined to himself a monster boyfriend and until it happens, he will make every single person they come across fall in love with him. So naturally, this happens a lot:

Steve: I’m going to flirt with them

Eddie, exasperated: Steve, you can’t date this monster, he’s trying to kill you-

Steve: Hot.

Steve: I’ll flirt with them harder then

Your courier being named cesar is so inchresting to me. And I cannot help but be curious (apologies if this has been asked before, I cannot find ur faq). Has anyone ever heard someone talking to/abt ur courier and mistakenly assumed they were talking about the Legion? Also ur art style is so art shaped.

haha thank you!!

i didn't exactly know the full scope of new vegas and the existence of the legion when i first named him that, so it was a very fun coincidence! it probably has happened before, much to cesars chagrin (even if it is pronounced just a bit differently) and funny enough he wishes people would stick to one pronunciation over the other (the latin-accurate kai-sar of course since the legions wanna be giant homo larpers). i also like to imagine that arcade starts using the latin pronunciation and the rest of the companions pick it up too which cesar appreciates

anyways i can sorta see it happening like this

but generally cesars reaction is just
