was about to make a post about how it’s fun to have a “cringe hour” where you just let yourself do cringy things for an hour, but then I remembered every hour shpuld be a cringe hour. Peace and love on planet do whatever you want forever

OK not to Foxpost on main but as much as I appreciate the trope of the coruscant guard being like woefully underfunded and undersupported by the senate because they’re “not front line troops” and therefore “don’t need things like bacta or rations etc” and like I get where you’re coming from, but like…. they may not be on the front line but they are the most significant and final line of defense for the capital of the republic and more specifically the senate, who — and I cannot stress this enough — are the people who decide whether or not the coruscant guard gets money. The corries do the work of cops AND the secret service, and maybe throw in the national guard — imagine if the united states defunded the cops (seriously, imagine…), specifically all the cops that work in DC, AND the secret service because oh they’re purely concerned with domestic affairs and the security of the most essential elements of our republic, they don’t need resources. You’re talking about fucking upside down banana world and certainly not about the political priorities of a fading republic succumbing to nationalism, militarism, and fascism.

If I were a late era galactic senator, I would have funding the coruscant guard as my top fucking priority. I’d be signing off on building fucking cop city overtop of coruscant’s last nature reserve, i’d be giving them experimental bazookas and tanks and shit up the wazoo. Twelve types of alien police dog and two models from Space Boston Dynamics. Horses. Fox keeps trying to find a weapon they won’t finance for him and it’s not working, at this point he’s considering asking for a lightsaber just to see what happens. I’m not saying the coruscant guard should live in the lap of luxury or anything but they should probably have ample if not excessive access to the military resources they need to do their jobs — medical supplies, armaments, armor, etc. Because if politicians are one thing, that thing is interested above all in their own security, and the coruscant guard is literally their personal protective army, why would they not want their personal protective army to be well funded. “I’m chancellor palpatine and I’m going to deprive my slave gestapo of medical supplies so that their limbs fall off when they try to murder my enemies” come on man be serious.

I hear sometimes people saying things like "I want a partner but I don't want to hide my fanfiction habits so I guess I'll stay single" and I always want to be like "no... there is a better world... date someone who will write thousands of words of self-insert fanfiction with you... find the ones who will be cringe on main with you..."

i have made my own sweeping, simplified statements about paris and his family before, for sure. but in all seriousness, his relationship with his family is complicated. they do hate him for bringing ruin to their doorstep. that is a very clear sentiment, and one that is talked about far more, even in jest, by the fandom than the fact that his family also loved him. they never gave helen back to menelaus and rarely showed any belief of wrongdoing within earshot of the achaeans because they loved him. and doesn't that make it all worse? it's their love for paris that dooms them all. because how could they stand idly by and hand him over to death when he has just returned to their family? he was spared out of love, and they died for him because of that same love.

Heads up! There is going to be a very long and detailed post about making sausages dropping in a few hours.

It's got a big red content warning and a readmore, so nothing is going to get gruesomely dropped on you, but make sure you add "butchery" or "cw butchery" to your tag filters to be extra safe if the idea of processing animal carcasses is upsetting to you!

It also has an image of sausage casings before they're scraped. I tried to whack the post with as many CWs as I can think of but I'd recommend "cw meat" or "cw organs" if you need them.

A bunch of idiots (doodles)

re: last reblog - ever since hearing it live, referring to Nico as "greek god of goth hotness" has haunted me and i never want to hear it again. i am more than happy to leave that one in 2015 fandom. please. im begging. i cant live this again. Riordanverse already has a "god of goth hotness" it's Anubis. what you're looking for is Anubis. who is canonically a god, goth, and hot. Nico is none of those things. please,,,

What your favorite mean girls ship says about you

Cadnis: You're a theater kid and there's a good chance you're neurodivergent. If you're a writer, you're just a silly goofy guy (you have committed atrocities).

Rejanis: You love heart-rending, soul-crushing angst with a side of angry kissing, and you've probably struggled with self hatred at some point in your life.

Cadina: *Tiktok voice* We get it! You like this one!! (You want sexual tension thick enough to cut with a knife and you're probably a Reneé Rapp stan)

Fetchen: I mean this with all of the love in the world, but this is the junk food of ships. You want your tooth rotting fluff with the emotional depth of a puddle, and in this world? Who can blame you.

Polystics: You thought "Hey, wouldn't it be funny-” ONE TIME and then immediately fell into the vortex.

Regret: Your ship is wish fulfillment with a sole target audience of Gretchen "Please don't ignore me" Weiners. I don't think anything I could say would be more biting than that fact

Karina: Unfortunately, you do not exist outside of my mind palace. But if you did exist, you'd definitely be a friends to lovers girlie.

Jaren: You're my best friend <3 hi parker.

Jatchen: You're one of the surprisingly few people in this fandom who can't bring themselves to forgive Regina George.

Damiaaron: You are the "gays" part of "the girls and the gays". But also you don't exist, this is no one's favorite

Cadaaron: Who are you and how did you get into Lesbianism: The Fandom? Are you lost?

Caden: wouldn't you like to know weather boy

Cadchen: Ok, the tags are partially a lie solely because I've never considered this particular ship before right now as I'm writing this and I'm not sure why not.

watching the terror and it’s wild how in episode 1 crozier was probably right and they could have made it around king william island. i’m reminded of blanky filling in the northwest passage on his sheet of paper. another way in which the nature of the british proves to be their undoing

if i had a nickel every time magneto, charles, and amelia were all featured on a cover that framed them as having a wack love triangle then im sure im missing more than just these two but im still baffled i naturally found two so easily anyway

i spent the whole day consuming postmodern theory and i'm honestly just now realizing that i've only been consuming postmodernism on its fringes (meaning, in its late-stage, abstract, niche and experimental forms) and that postmodernism at its core contradicts much of what i believe in and is so unsustainable as well as intellectually & spiritually exhausting. infinite jest, i'm theorizing, gets most of its postmodern essence in structure, rather than in substance because dfw's exhibition of and love for dialogue, honesty, the diversity of the human condition and most importantly the genuine, contradicts postmodernism's cold irony and societal rejection at its crux. infinite jest, of course, is this bizarre twisted postmodern pretzel that rejects irony ironically but the extent to which it turns postmodernism on its head has just increased its depth to me tenfold. this is actually insane. i thought i loved postmodernism, but, i've learned that with some things in life, the "just jump in" principle should be applied with extreme caution and skepticism. i don't know what to think. i'm still excited to read some pynchon though, lol. i could type eighteen additional paragraphs about all of this but i'm stopping here for everyone's sake.

Based off a conversation I was having with my friend

The game canonically: You only ever see Poor Edward in your dreams and even that is up to chance.

Us, the fandom: Yeah that. But also he can show up and talk to the PC through mirrors. He basically lives with us but with extra steps.

I think the funniest thing to come out of Dragons Rising is the fact that both seasons have a character with at least one explicitly queer-subtext moment. Sora with her name and rejecting the society that she didn't fit in with, Bonzle worried no one would accept her for who she is now when compared to who she was "supposed" to be, my friends the closet is made of glass.

I've decided this is now mandatory, at least one queer allegory every season. I'm enlisting all of you to help me enforce it. Onwards, lads, to victory
