Final thoughts for the weekend, Boston Dumb Fuck.

The reason for the quote below is two-fold.

Reason #1- In case your handlers wiped your memory, Elie Wiesel was a prisoner of the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps and spent his life as a "messenger of mankind", and stated when he won the Nobel Peace prize in 1986, through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps", as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace", Wiesel delivered a message "of peace, atonement, and human dignity" to humanity.

This is the opposite of what you have become. You are connected to an antisemite forever. Even when you divorce, you will be known as a Nazi-lover, CHRISTOPHER ROBERT EVANS! And at a time when antisemetic and Islamophobic attacks are on the rise. Did you not notice? Was the pussy just that good? Luckily when people Google the wifey's hate, they can also see that too and judge for themselves.

Is it disgusting I am talking about Nazi death camps and the wifey's cooch in the same post? Yes, yes it is.

Reason #2- the quote itself. I don't hate you, unlike the wifey and her KKKlan, who hate everyone, and not how you hate yourself. But I am getting very close to being indifferent and that scares me. It should scare you, too, because I am not the only one.

No matter the path you ultimately choose, they are all going to be bumpy, treacherous and you are going to want to vomit. The only difference is the destination. The better the destination, the more guidance you are going to need and if past is prologue, you don't have the most reliable sherpas around you.

Honesty is the only thing that will get you out of this. It addresses both reasons for sharing this quote and there is no better salve to the soul. You will also need to surround yourself with honest people, who will tell you the good and the bad, and who want you to succeed for its own sake and who have also trodden similar, complicated paths.

There is a new moon coming up, a time to refresh and start over, at the same time as Hanukkah, the celebration of the miracle of light when a group of people thought all was lost in the darkness.

Something to reflect on.

Buck, listen to the goddamn universe.

[seasoningyeeting]

It’s crazy how the universe is always thinking for you, even when you’re not thinking. Let me elaborate.

I was in the car and my mother had the Taylor playlist on. The entire time I’d been thinking about my ex bff and right as my brain started to make me miss her again, to the point of where I wanted to unblock her ass from everywhere I blocked her from and just…make up something, (I’m the worlds best bullshitter. It’s really not that hard to be the bard.💅🏻) I heard: “…I just miss you and I just wish you were, a better man”.

Are you kidding me

Because that’s exactly it. I do miss her, but I wish she was a better person. In the end I was actually the first to apologize for any pain I’d caused…and the last. She didn’t give two shits about my feelings, she only cared when it was convenient to her. That’s not a nice person. A nice person doesn’t take your hard life experiences, and rub salt in them. I miss her. I missed her as she was losing me. I had to sit myself down and watch the same episode of TV 3 times to keep myself from passing out. I honestly can’t remember if it was Suits or The Office I was so, so out of it. (For a little context, she basically called me delusional. Like actually. Everyone including myself, jokes about ‘delulu’, and this wasn’t that. She actually told me I needed counseling. It’s a long story, but I’m not delusional. I sent the screenshots to other people and they all told me the same thing: she was a horrible person, and they’d be blocking her and removing her from their life entirely. What she was referring to, had been discussed multiple times. But that’s not the point.) I think that’s the only way I’m keeping my head above water right now, is by reminding myself that for one, I didn’t lose her. She lost me. And for two, as absolutely, well, “delusional” as this is gonna sound…is that Taylor is always right. At least for me, and my life, a song I need to hear, not want to hear, but need to hear? Has always found a way for me to hear it. The universe is always thinking for me; when I can’t bear to think about things for myself. I just miss her and I just hope she becomes a better person.

Inspired by my discovery, I decided to find an image with a source just as interesting — when the initial one I found was just an image, I looked through similar results… And here I find myself again facing the same blog. I hear you, Universe.

i just think he’s neat

[phoenixkaptain]

I love it when pre Original Trilogy era shows how much effort went into making the Death Star. It took decades, literal decades, and it took so much money and so many people and it was such a secretive thing and it’s staffed by millions because it’s the size of a small moon.

I cannot express how much all of the added information makes it so much funnier that Luke blew it up.

Luke destroys literally everything Palpatine built. He blows up the Death Star, which was referenced in universe as early as the second movie. He blew up the weapon of mass destruction twenty years in the making. And he blew it up pretty much directly after it’s first and only successful attack. It was operational for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that Palpatine had the thing he’d been building for longer than Luke has been alive, and Luke blows it up. First day retirement, but first hour retirement.

Luke convinces Darth Vader to turn back to the light side, a feat thought literally impossible by literally everybody. Sidious clearly doesn’t see Vader’s betrayal coming. Vader’s betrayal was not in his plans, nor was it something he was prepared for. Sidious is a powerful Force user with all four limbs while Vader is a man in the tin can Palpatine put him in. If Palpatine had seen Vader turning coming, he would not have allowed it to happen.

Luke literally should not even be alive. Palpatine almost definitely got Padme out of the way on purpose, and he almost certainly was trying for her unborn child as well (there was way too big of a risk that a cute liddol bebe would bring some humanity back to Anakin, and Palpatine did not want Anakin to have any humanity) Luke living is literally the first step in Palpatine’s ultimate downfall, especially once Vader finds out that Luke is his son. His very alive son. His son that is not dead, despite Palpatine claiming Anakin killed Padme. Implying that Anakin killed Padme and she posthumously gave birth. But, she didn’t give birth on Mustafar, which was the last place Anakin interacted with her. And once the mother dies, you have to get those fuckers out fast or they die too.

I imagine Darth Vader piecing all of this together is that meme with all the math floating around his head, because how could Padme have died by his hand and then given birth like two hours later?

Luke killing Palpatine is what ultimately leads to the dissolution of the Empire as an omnipotent entity. Luke killed the Empire. Luke spends a good amount of his adult life killing Empire remnants. We see that in the Mandalorian, since he’s so recognizable that Gideon immediately knows he’s fucked just by seeing an X-wing. We read it in Legends’ continuity, where Luke terrifies Imperials because he can walk into their changing room and stand in their for a minute and they don’t even notice.

Luke destroyed Palpatine’s life’s work. Everything Palpatine spent his whole life working towards, and Luke kills all of it. He blows up not one, but two Death Stars (he may not have pulled the trigger on the second Death Star, but without him, it never would have been destroyed). He convinces not one, but multiple Sith and Dark Jedi to return from the Dark Side. He is the only reason that Obi-Wan Kenobi, the biggest pain in Palpatine’s ass ever born, lives long enough to make it to the Death Star.

Palpatine went through so much effort. And just when he had finally won, when he finally had a weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast, making it impossible for any planets or peoples to go against him, Luke shows up nineteen years late to the Jedi party with space Starbucks and a droid twice his age and almost singlehandedly destroys everything Palpatine ever had a hand in creating.

Luke manages to become even worse than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate thorn in the side of politicians, and Luke doesn’t even understand any politics. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy like Obi-Wan and Leia, no, he’s a farmboy who left home for the first time in his entire life, just this morning. And he is the one to destroy the Empire.

If they rewrote Star Wars and had it entirely from Palpatine’s perspective, Luke Skywalker would be his greatest foe. Luke Skywalker would be the final boss. Luke Skywalker is the antithesis of everything Palpatine believes in and he is the one character that Palpatine cannot predict. He isn’t as moldable as Anakin, he doesn’t respond to threats very well, he’s apparently impossible to kill via Force lightning (still the funniest scene of all times, the progression of Palpatine’s face falling and him looking like “what the fuck??? Is this kid rubber??? I’ve electrocuted him eight times???”), his unwavering faith in his father’s goodness makes Darth Vader want to be a better person, Luke Skywalker is the big bad of Palpatine’s story and—

There is nothing in this world that is funnier than someone’s biggest antagonist being Luke fucking Skywalker. Luke Skywalker, who saved the galaxy with the power of love and who shouldn’t exist, by Jedi rules and by Palpatine’s own attempts, and whose best friends are literally droids, which Palpatine canonically hates!

Everything about this is hilarious, this is the funniest thing in all of media, Palpatine loses absolutely everything to some backwater farmboy who fucking likes droids.

Jaime, on the phone, watching from his dorm room at Goth Law: Mamá! Look, I know the news is talking about a serial killer, but it’s okay! I’m perfectly fine— dios mio. I think someone just blew up Wayne Tower. What? NO, I didn’t say anything.

while i get where this comes from and it’s true to an extent, i reeeaaaally don’t like how people try to explain “trans men don’t [necessarily] have male privilege” with things like “some trans men don’t pass”.

like sure that’s the most obvious example (someone who is seen as a woman won’t have the privilege that comes with being seen a man) but you’re still acting like being a passing trans man is just a free opt-in to male privilege which is………kinda the issue.

St. Nicholas Day Wolfwood Wednesday!!

trimaxification (plus scrapped wips of some other frames under the cut)

there were just too many things i wanted to change around for these to match nightow's hip forward/hunched poses

they'd probably have ended up very close to these panels, and at that point it'd be more like a manga redraw rather than a trimax style anime redraw

I love Tim, don't get me wrong, but how did he survive?

With Jason and Damian both gunning for him (not to mention everything else he went through), how did he live? Those two were trained in killing and assassination. Tim was trained in defense, but he couldn't permanently incapacitate his attacker. They had no holds barred.

Did Tim just will himself to live? Did he somehow chase off the grim reaper with determination and spite?
