tw: body horror (?)
my favorite grell headcanon is that she has her shark teeth because she filed them herself. in front of a mirror, every day, step by step, tooth by tooth.
she had plenty of time and when you’re practically immortal it’s pretty tempting to start doing some batshit insane things. it’s intimidating, it shows how she CAN and WILL do things even scarier to those who wronged her, and it just looks cool.
and the key point is that she didn’t do this to appear attractive (and we know that it’s like. one of the most important things for grell). she did that to scare the shit out of people and she was right about it but holy shit girl

Watching Hunter X Hunter for the first time and I totally forgot that that this isn’t a fantasy setting and technology just exists. We spend the whole exam arc in a series of different uninhabited forests and then the second they graduate Kurapika suggests they just google where Killua lives

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.

no because i'm actually going insane. like, in retrospect, it makes so much sense that ed and stede would both be glassy-eyed/crying after their first kiss, because they're both feeling so much. it's so new to them and subsequently so scary but so exciting. it has them both feeling so vulnerable but so intrigued by all the implications and future possibilities.
and then like, ed is feeling the most free and the most like himself that he has for years and years, if not his entire life. the world is his oyster in that moment. the horizon is open and endless. there's nothing but forever and his newfound love at his side. it's so much. it has him so vulnerable. it's something he thought he'd never get to have. and yet there it is, right beneath his hands, right there on the sand next to him. no more masking. no more threats of violence. no more having to hide himself away. just love.
and then stede. he's absolutely petrified that he's ruined ed, that he'd messed up horrendously like he think he has for the entirety of his life. but then he's also just experienced something that he thought he'd never get to have either. he never thought he'd get to feel actual love. he never thought his prospect of "marrying for love" could actually be something tangible. he never thought someone would look him in the eyes and say "you make me happy." and yet there all of that is, right there on the sand next to him.
so of course they're both crying. of course. they're running through the full spectrum of emotion and right back around again.
but also. WHAT.

alright so ive already talked about this multiple times before, but ive noticed posts about this topic FINALLY spreading around more.
the sexualization in the slenderverse fandom is a huge problem, and its only getting worse as the fandom continues to grow.
i feel like people need to be reminded:
SLENDERVERSE ACTORS ARE NOT CELEBRITIES. THEY ARE LIKE US. THEY WANT TO LIVE NORMAL LIVES. THEY ARE NOT THE CHARACTERS THEY PLAY.
separate the character from the actor. do not stalk their socials. do not try to dm them. do not comment weird shit under their public posts.
RESPECT. THEIR. BOUNDARIES.
i rarely see any slenderverse actors interact with the fandom like they used to do. thats because fans dont treat them like actual human beings. i have seen some of the actors complain about being stalked, having people pretend to be them or their significant other online, etc.
its fucking ridiculous. you know what else is ridiculous? the editors and fanartists who ignore people trying to inform them about the actors boundaries + the problem with sexualization.
there has been a LOT of that happening on tiktok lately. so please, if you use the app and stumble across a post that disrespects an actors boundaries:
LEAVE A COMMENT. EDUCATE THE UPLOADER. TELL THEM WHY WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG AND DISRESPECTFUL.
do not harass them or be mean about it, please just inform them. my friend and i have both been doing this, and we either get ignored or in my case, blocked. at this point, i feel like the only possible way to get people to listen is if they get multiple comments about it.
finding the actors attractive is fine, but PLEASE just keep your sexual comments and thoughts private. the actors and other people in the fandom would appreciate it, ESPECIALLY if you are underage. that just makes it even more uncomfortable to see.

wanted to talk about how strongly mr. bonzo reminds me of some scp object (not really something in particular he’s just VIBING like a humanoid class keter) but then realized that i was just balls deep in scp stuff a few years ago and i see everything through this prism ever since.
anyways. laughed at the title like a middle schooler. also a huge fan of dyhard crumbs and seeing gwen stressed like a wet cat of a woman that she is

something something I turned them into creatures because I saw a few other people do it. I might make Alex and Brian later but I actually have more planned for Jessica and Amy. I guess this counts as an Au...? My brother helped me with Jays design so that was cool, shoutout to @rorystr 🫡
Scratches head, ig like the most I've got for this au is that most mythical creatures live amongst humans, disguised as them, and completely unaware of other creatures living amongst them. (which is too few anyway, they are mythical creatures after all not common creatures) It just turns out that by some insane coincidence, almost all of the cast of marble hornets are secretly dudes in disguise (loud vine-booms). Also the operator sickness is still a thing and the operator is still the same old entity of malice just more fantastical yk? Alright enough of my blabbering I'm sleepy… I want to rant sm about how I think angels and other types function in this au but not rn 💥💥
