why are vampires always so ridiculously wealthy? I get generational money, but that shit has gotta run out. Give me a vampire who works the overnight shift at the seedy diner who can’t make rent. A nighttime security guard who’s leeching off a string of girlfriends. Casino vampires?? There’s no windows around. The possibilities, come on. Where are the crummy vampires living their shitty lives?

I think I need to come back to NM and not tell my grandma until I'm here so that I have a hotel room and a rental car to do whatever I want whenever I want and visit on my own time.

"ai art by-" genuinely shut the whole entire fuck up. ai art was not fucking made by you. you typed in a set of words & got fed an amalgamation of stolen art by a robot. that is not the same as the artists who ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY MADE their art. & put their heart & soul into it just for a sorry, lazy fuck like you to leech off of their hard work. Fuck Off.

"functioning gastric system", actually, but thank you for your perspective on the matter

I love this idea of Leia becoming this legendary sort of folk hero on Tatooine for killing Jabba, meanwhile Luke is literally a master Jedi. The master Jedi.

I’m just tickled by the image of mythical magical man, I-destroyed-the-first-death-star, Luke getting inundated with “wait, your sister is the Huttslayer?” on his own home planet.

@schleckermaul

ignoring its ties to eiden's scheming, yuri gets a good chuckle out of that backhanded text. it's easier to digest than the other gooey sentiments he's been saddled with. the intent's understood, roundabout as it is-- its snippy simplicity appreciated, too.

[to: sleeves] [from: yuriboogie] [txt]: welcome back to the digital age! giving ur carrier pigeon a well-earned vacation?

just being a pain! they have a backlog (though minimal compared to some of yuri's other friends) that proves break's at least semi-competent with a phone.

[txt]: sure. gotta move those rusty joints right? [txt]: take a swing at me whenever ✌️ keeps things exciting

Congrats, you got halfway to a good point and then scuppered yourself completely. There is no improper way to speak a language, true, but there is also no proper way to write one either. Who give a fuck if people confuse 'there', 'their', 'they're' in spelling? They all sound the same, and English spelling is arbitrary anyway. It is not a mistake to write something 'non-standard' to represent your actual speech as long as it effectively communicates your point for the audience you are talking to. Yf ai wanted ta spell me ynglesh cumplitli funetycli that's perfectly fine as long as the reader understands what I'm saying. N f I use txt speech tht's fine 2 as long as it communicates. What is being espoused here is what is known as 'standard language ideology' in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. It essentially believes that there is a 'correct' way to spell English, and anything not that is 'incorrect', and as stated above, that people who don't spell correctly are of a lesser value as people because, to paraphrase, 'why can't the lazy bastards just learn to spell proper?'

I don't know, maybe because they write well enough to talk to their peers, and because there's no point to being 'correct' other than signalling social class?

To whit, how would you ever know if someone were an AAE speaker in writing if you bitch at them every time they write their speech accurately? This is why this attitude is classist and often, . Standard language ideology also extends to spoken language, and is basically just a stick to beat the poors, the foreigns, and the provincials with to demonise them for not speaking and writing as the prestiged moneyed class does, even if that form of speech and writing is completely artificial.

Evidently, person above, you have been beaten with the language ideology stick. Do you get joy out of hitting others with it? Maybe you should unpack how much you care about people correcting your English, because the people who correct your English are often (racist, classist) shitbags, and being like them is not going to improve your sanity. If anyone is feeling snippy, I'm a linguist. Spelling inconsistencies are the most consistent thing about all writing systems, from Assyrian cuneiform to Augustine Latin to Queen Victoria's personal handwriting. They are critically important to linguistics, because they give clues as to what the underlying speech sounds are for the person writing. Ideally, we want you to ignore everything your teachers ever taught you about spelling and grammar.

”classisist” no, I’m just someone who learned English as a second language and this was graded on actually having to know the language.

I mean if you're pulling that card, the word is "classist". A classisist would be a mis-spelling of someone who studies the subject Classics. This is one reason of many why you should be very careful about smugly declaring yourself better than others in a language. It means your own fuck ups now make you look like a bit of a tit.

But no, that post - and this follow up ask - is judgemental and, very literally, classist. If you are interested in learning why you're being casually bigoted with this viewpoint, I'll happily chat about it and explain. But based on you sending this ask and the attitude you're showing with it, I assume you're too defensive to actually listen and learn, so it's probably best we go our separate ways.

[snipsnipsnippy]

Alright I’ve been pushed. Now I’m in a Satine Kryze mood. And BOY do I wanna have a chat some of y’all are not ready for.

Satine and the New Mandalorians are the true Mandalorians. Or at least, they were the popular representation of Mandalorians. First things first, I want to remind everyone that the Mandalorian history we have post Clone Wars-era is entirely told by the surviving Mandalorians, who are.. a fringe cult and a terrorist group (ie The Children of the Watch and Death Watch) and any other surviving exiles or enemies (eg Boba and you know, the Jedi). None of these people lived in mainstream Mandalorian society so how are we to believe them on what “true” mandalorian culture is when their beliefs or actions were deemed so radical they were exiled (or in the case of COTW, left on their own accord).

Now, yes, Satine’s position of pacifism is very extreme. No fighting at all ever is a pretty questionable long term survival strategy and an incredibly divisive one, but it’s literally one the mandalorian people defended and accepted and even tried to bring to the Republic. Because considering the historical and political position Mandalore has been in, it was only this extreme strategy that could save it. It literally ended generations of civil wars. It united the remaining mandalorians and built survivable, architecture for the barren world (which probably saved the planet, but that’s a different theory). But Death Watch, you know the party that meant to overthrow and kill her, will tell you that this was an erasure of mandalorian culture and ignorance of their warrior history, but that’s not the kind of warrior we ever see outside of Death Watch.

Everything in mandalorian culture points us to this much more protective survivor, rather than this vindictive sort of conqueror. Foundling culture in the Mandalorians is so profound because it’s something that is so unique to them. Other cultures do adopt nonfamilial members, yes, but Mandalorians do it so wholeheartedly and without question. There’s a baby alone in the woods? I don’t care if it’s 4,000 years old or its a race that hasn’t been discovered yet, that’s your child now. The way mandalorian clans are structured such that a foundling is immediately no different than a blood relative, whether they come from the same species or star system. Nephews or daughters or neighbors are all the same to a mandalorian (and a hot mention to mando’a for throwing out gender biases too). They are fiercely protected and fiercely loved too. Every excess that exists in mandalorian society goes to their children. To their education, their protection, the survival of the next generation was most important to a mandalorian society.

Even something like beskar, their very armor, was prized for protection, not for offensives. There’s a whole lecture on how beskar came to be metal of choice, but it boils down to being, guess what?, the best defense against lightsabers. And we see Mandalorians come out with the best armor design in like literally all of Star Wars armors ever. I’m not joking. It’s made for visibility, for protection, for comfort, and for not dying. Their identity is their armor. Its value and its design is sacred to each clan because it is forged from their history and painted with its battles.

So working back to Satine, who was raised learning all of this history, learning the ways of her warrior people and seeing the culture stray from what was once a people built for surviving and then watching it kill them, watching it tear apart her family and her home, and for a year, it even tore her away from her identity. She stands up to this massive swath of the deadliest fuckers in the galaxy, and she says “no.” She doesn’t raise a sword. She doesn’t point a blaster. She knows how. She was the fucking mandalorian princess. Clan Kryze was deeply respected. Her father died a hero to these people, and for her to stand up without using force or weapons takes a shit load of courage and some uniquely mandalorian stupidity. All to save their future, their culture, and their children. She said “kill me if you wish but spare the kids” and at the time, she can’t be any more than 20 because timelines are rough. She’s probably still just an orphaned teenager herself. This is the wake up call that broke the Mandalorian Civil Wars.

This is the Most Mandalorian stunt a mandalorian has ever mandalorian-ed since Tarre Vizsla himself told off the fucking Jedi.

She’s the savior of her culture, and Death Watch burned it all down because they wanted to kill, not protect. Satine was more a mandalorian than most of the Mandalorians we see. More mandalorian than her sister will ever be, and Bo won’t even speak her name.
