Sheev's Plan:

get elected to senate for naboo

start new sith order

work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)

PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.

make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.

Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.

(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then

build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot

(clone son betrays me but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan

let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later) let those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one themselves. very cute!

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(only via proxy tho. not done yet)

let(??) vaders grandson ("ben"?? ok) usurp failed clone and rule galaxy. wants to “kill the past” but whatever. can still make this work. NEED to keep this kid in the mix (will make sense when we get there)

drop the big news. Im not dead! Fortnite. awesome moment.

lead kylo ren to my base using complex scavenger hunt. puzzle knife.

tell him he’s always actually worked for me. big reveal. big moment. He's my lackey now. a little traitorous and unreliable, but this will pay off later trust me

use death star ships to take over galaxy even more

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(awesome... but not enough. something missing)

let kylo ren lead clone granddaughter to home base using complex scavenger hunt. Puzzle Knife cool enough idea to do twice i think

taunt granddaughter into killing me so i can possess her un-janked body. All part of my grand scheme...

Endgame achieved. (??)

(kylo ren betrays me)

PIVOT: Possession stupid plan anyway. Instead, use ben and reys Horny Essence to make my nasty old body normal again.

throw ben in hole (grandson purpose revealed)

destroy resistance with lightning powers. shooting spaceships down with magic lightning basically a solved problem at this point.

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

kill the granddaughter actually. dont need her anymore. lightning powers classic for a reason.

ive got this thing in the bag as long as she doesn't bounce the lightning back at me off her fucking laser sword.

Endgame achieved.

[cyberdragoninfinity]

im sure ive made like four other posts about this before but i saw Takes so im thinking about it again. Just, like....alright, "I wish they played other games instead of card games in yugioh" isn't my Favorite opinion, but I see the logic on it; a solid chunk of season 0's charm is that they fuck around with such a solid handful of other types of games and it's really neat! So I see where it comes from, even though personally I think where we're at with Yugioh as a franchise is a point where the card games Are intrinsically part of the storytelling regardless of which games you wish they were playing instead.

HOWEVER. sometimes i see things like. "i love yugioh but i wish it was [x genre] instead" and it's like. HUH. "they should make a slice of life yugioh series" I DONT KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU THIS BUT IF THEY MADE THAT............IT WOULD NOT BE YUGIOH. THATS NOT YUGIOH. THATS CHARACTERS WITH BRIGHT COLORFUL SPIKY HAIR AT A FARMER'S MARKET and im SURE theres already 7 other animes that ALREADY DO THAT. and if you just want ygo characters doing slice of life things im sorry but at that point thats what ao3 is for, man. you'll find a never ending supply of yugioh characters doing cute slice of life things on there i PROMISE.

like. sorry. sorry i dont want to be mean but... regardless of whether you specifically care about the duels or not.... if you remove/de-center the duels from yugioh, if you hard pivot away from game playing as a focal point for character beats and interactions..... that's not yugioh anymore. that's a different series. you made up a different series. and like. it'd probably be a fine series! but it wouldn't be yugioh.

[rawmeknockout]

i’m thinking more and more about bot reader (not necessarily cyberformed reader just general bot i don’t have a backstory planned yet) who is taken under megatron’s wing a la dadatron/cyberformed liaison fic i did

just considering what i would want to write, i think if i do i will post it to ao3 instead bc it would be a full fic im deciding maybe pivoting a bit more of my reader content to full fics instead of one off requests (not that i dislike doing requests but ive been doing it for YEARS and i have hundreds of one off fics for people to read from) so that i can explore things like backstory and plot more

but developing a plot and subsequently an ending scare me i also never finish a story (whether im reading, watching, or playing it) bc i procrastinate and put off endings that much

[kozykricket]

okay , ive taken some time to process n think about ZA more, and.

well okay i said i fuckin love that battle system and yes. i do. its great to see something fun and dynamic. i can only hope it doesnt feel clunky.. hope it feels snappy to use, like. the ui and stuff but yeah, i think its taking a good step. its like.. okay. its disappointing that its just lumiose city? but i think the story might be really interesting if its "you, your friend, and this old guy... try and solve mysteries and help people out around the city!"

like. thats the kinda fun having energy of persona 3 or 4 tbh. a group of people figurin shit out !! i hope its more than just us and our rival

also AZ being able to kinda, live peacefully after his miserable life, is very nice.

the site mentions that he runs an Old Hotel called the Z Hotel, and like. oh yeah, its def got some old looks to it. his style AND the style inside the building is REALLY nice and old-fashioned. theres even... a conspiracy board in one room? really hope we get to do some mystery solving as like, this games version of research tasks / quests!!

heard someone speculate AZ might end up like, sacrificing himself for something as a pivotal plotpoint and... tbh i do feel like theres gonna be some pretty significant aspect of the plot that they're hiding from us. somethings going on with zygarde - the website says its Taken an Interest in Us. probably because we're helping out with the urban development? i mean, it doesn't SEEM like the city is overreaching in terms of taking over pokemon territory... but i do think that'll def be a theme. the concern of urbanization

and in regards to the pokemon not having the like, scales or fur textures, it isnt that inherently that i disliked, but that they watered down / desaturated pokemon a lot in SV. some pokemon got hit SO hard in a bad way, like beartic or lunala. the character customization looks like itll be there, because there IS a boutique! in one of the images!! and i mean cmon its KALOS looks like the characters have the best of both worlds between the human designs of SwSh and SV. I'd say they're all fantastic

...its just, the city itself that seems potentially boring. i dont know how they'll be able to pull it off... or have ANY sense of discovery, really. maybe they wont! maybe itll hinge more on solving issues around the city and using that kickass battle system overall its uh. im not hyped because we havent seen that much of what there is to offer, especially in regards to zygarde. or much of the gameplay. i am curious about how much battling there'll be. probably a good bit, i'd imagine i wish we got to see new pokemon... like. anything new. but hey we got to see dapper AZ so its a win but im gonna leave the bad part for last:

what the hell is this? gamefreak? pokemon company? who do i blame for this. why. rock_stockphoto.png lookin ass... i they made the pokemon less realistic and then tried to go for "nintendo hire this man" esque grass?? why? what. theres so much clashing style. that patrat does NOT belong on THAT grass. why is this one of the first images on the site?? i... they should not be going for photorealism in any pokemon game wtf.. or if you do it, then at least commit to it and give the pokemon their scales and fur back! and actually do it good! instead of whatever this is

[gamer-paramnesia]

happy halloween!! have some fighting headcanons! (characters, obvs)

long-ish post

etoiles!! he is a warrior at heart, honest and loyal

I would think his fighting style is heavy on the footwork and agility + doing the most damage in as little strikes as possible

visually graceful, but almost impossible to follow?

matches pace w his opponents

very much on the offensive majority of the time

heavily trained (common style of fighting, but super fucking good at it so that it seems extremely unique)

soo so unserious tho

fights for the thrill!! the only time he actually got serious was the battle against the 3 codes (where he fought code!pomme… n where he died…)

incapcitates, then kills

honorable fighter! will not play dirty

tanks

large bladed weapons are his go to (swords, scythes, etc)

phil!!! survivalist extraordinaire

picks his fights! knows when he cant win

also very movement based,, uses his wings as a counterbalance more often than not (therefore making a lot of moves that are physically impossible to normal humans)

defensive fighter, fights to incapacitate?

more unique style, as he learned from mostly himself n he refined it

efficient but an honorable fighter as well

fast. like, scary fast

keeps his emotions in check (funnels his emotions into his swings)

doesnt like fighting much (lie)

will play dirty if desperate!

tanks!

best with scythes n axes

fit!!!!!!! 2b2t historian, did you know that 2b2t is the oldest-

also picks his fights (very carefully!)

hard hitter, more on the barrage type instead of the strike n wait

on the offensive, prone to switching to the defensive tho

generally unpredictable movements (hes batshit insane)

sporadic, hard to pin down style

not the most serious fighter. taunts a lot, goes quiet when focused (first i lol'd, but then i serioused >:0)

dirty fighter!! all those years of 2b2t taught him that :D

goes for the kill when stakes are high

will play honorably IF he respects his opponent/considers his opponent a good person, but even then he'll use every trick up his sleeve to win!

although,,, he will back out of a fight he knows he cant win (and even if he could win, he'd weigh the pros n cons)

kinda,, support,,,

he makes me think of a scavenger tbh

prefers smaller, more handy weapons (axes, explosives, knives, etc)

bad!!!! totally-not-a-demon demon

im gonna say it again (its that he picks his fights)

goes for the confusion tactics (feints n tricks n misleads n misdirects etc)

similar to fit in the taunts n unseriousness n the silent focus

enjoys the hunt

falls in step w his opponents when the stakes are low

refined fighting style (had a lot of time to work on it and boy did he)

when the stakes are high,,,, his fighting seems frantic yet somehow practiced, every move is deliberate

a shadowed blur on the battlefield

goes for the jugular lolz

when he has the upperhand.. he plays with his food tbh

bites off more than he can chew sometimes

prefers the defensive

also a barrage of attacks instead of wait n strike (death by a thousand cuts kinda)

plays SO dirty its not even funny (it is a little funny..)

avid scythe user!! (likes comically oversized weapons tho, like his warhammer)

roier! idk that much abt him but ive heard that hes a great fighter as well so im gonna throw in my guesses as to how he fights

gets underestimated a lot? works on his side tho bc he is a ruthless fighter

a very emotional fighter, but uses it to his advantage

on the defense a lot, brutal on the offense??

surprisingly graceful

incapacitates

not the most refined style, but very efficient

sword guy!! but like a perfectly weighted sword? (very particular about his weapons?)

jaiden!!! havent seen her pvp much but these are headcanons so-

learned from the best! (roier)

hard hitter, zones into an enemy and doesnt let up

stays in one location, pivoting is key (stands her ground)

uses her wings to gain extra speed if she had to change locations

not super experienced, but a quick learner

very defensive

channels emotions into swings (kinda wears her heart on her sleeves tho)

goes for the kill for opponents she has grudges against?

another scythe enjoyer!!

pac! also idk that much about him but he seems ergonomic

VERY graceful fighter

underestimates himself?

footwork is very particular and careful, almost like a dance

defensive fighter

either quiet, focused fighting or screaming, crying throwing up fighting, no in between LMAO

kinda a dirty fighter as well? not super on purpose but learned it from prison times

he seems like a rapier kinda guy (swords!!!)

feel free to add on!!! esp if u have disagreements w my hcs hehe

[mochi-makes-shit]

Hi! How do you make your stickers? They look very nice, especially the holo ones!!!!

i literally just print them out on sticker paper i got on amazon using my printer from like 2016 and slap a holo vinyl film over top, then cut them out by hand. i dont necessarily recommend it (they are not super waterproof, which i think may be because i got matte sticker paper instead of gloss whoops, and cutting them by hand takes a loooong time) but i have gotten good results for just fucking around with things

i eventually want to pivot to using a manufacturer for stickers so i get a more consistent result (and save my jank hands from scissors), but for now being able to print at home and experiment has been GREAT

that said, i would wager it probably helps that i am using affinity designer to make the images. its a vector program like adobe illustrator (but not god awful expensive -- six month free trial baybee) so the images im making are really crisp, even on my decade old printer

besides the cost of the printer (which i appropriated from an ex when he moved out and left a bunch of shit behind) and the cost of ink for said printer, i put down eeeh $40ish in supplies for the sticker paper and the holo vinyl. i have used maybe 1/3 of it making somewhere around 200+ stickers, including all the stickers ive fucked up mislaying the vinyl or cutting out badly. ive made roughly 2.5x that back from the sales of my stickers, even tho i keep giving them out to people Just Because lmao. again, not the hardiest of stickers, but pretty solid for fucking around

this is the sticker paper i got and these are some of the holo films i got (i got three packs from the same listing iirc). im printing on a cannon mp250 using the settings "matte photo paper" and "high" quality. i DO need to recalibrate my printer to better match the colors of my screen, especially when printing vectors. i also cut the sheets of stickers and vinyl into smaller sections so its easier to smoothly apply the film, and have a track slicey paper cutter for scrap booking i use to do that. i havent done it yet, but i wager this technique with the matte paper could also work really well for hand drawing stickers if you have the Skillz but not a printer

if u (or anyone) tries out my method (as it were) please do tag me so i can see! i would lov to share (and perhaps do sticker trades 👀)

[wolfwarrior142]

God the "Destiny is a book you write yourself" scene slaps so hard. It's so good. The quote is very good and important (I have stickers of it with the Key on both my water bottle and work clipboard for a reason, always there for me to see), and the whole effect of Callum's skin turning more gray and his eyes becoming more black as his hand gets closer to the Key. Then reversing after he pulls his hand away (due to seeing his double display the true effects of what dark magic would do to him). Also Harrow being there to remind him that he is free to make his own choices. That nothing is written in stone and he is free. Along with a little goof at the end. Man, it's a good little scene. Reminds me of the scene in s5 where Viren talks with his younger self and clasps his hand through the mirror, then coming out of the dream. Callum still has a long ways to go in his, but this scene is still so good.

The Dragon Prince season 2, episodes 5 & 6, my beloveds. Gotta be two of my absolute favorite episodes in the season.

[lorillee]

can you tell us about majimako

ok SORYYYYYY ive been sititng on this ask forever number 1 because i was trying to figure out a way to explain without well explaining like 75% of the entire plot of yakuza 0 in detail and also more importantly number 2 Sometimes lowkey i get kind of embarrassed talking about stuff i really like………………. but its ok....................

anwyasy BRIEF PLOT RUNDOWN. FOR THE UNINITIATED: <- i typed that sentence fragment and then it very quickly turned into a complete lie this is not brief at all. if you want brief go look at wikipedia or something idgaf anyways im linking it in a separate post go read >here<. well anwyasy you can take solace in the fact after reading all of that that the answer to your question is like a fourth of the length LOLLL but take my little majimako mini essay.......:

ultimately majima's story in y0 is one of complete lack of agency - between the hit (which further still was just him and saejima as pawns in someone's much much larger scheme, not that either of them found that out until way later), the year of torture, being labor trafficked under constant surveillance and being threatened/actively beaten when he steps out of line, and when he finally decides to do something himself regardless of the consequences by protecting makoto instead of killing her, that too was him playing right into shimano's hands. even his one true real act of agency in deciding to kill dojima is both thwarted and exploited by sera, and in the end is dubbed the mad dog of shimano - of course its ambiguous how much of the mad dog persona is an act in terms of becoming completely unpredictable so to prevent people from using him like a tool again and how much of it is genuinely part of his personality and how much the line's blurred over the years to where the mask becomes the true self and all that, but the fact of the matter is that even when he does act like an insane person he's still very much on shimano's leash, which is kind of sickening and also really fascinating when taken within the context of the end of y0 where essentially he says hes gonna do whatever the hell he wants from now on.

anyways back to the point at hand obviously this is a really really really interesting decision to make for his story both because 1) frankly its the kind of storyline that is much more commonly given to female characters, not one of the most popular men in your franchise about the yakuza, and 2) more importantly because it directly parallels makoto's. which in generally honestly i feel is pretty rare in and of itself for m/f duos, but like sooooo so interesting given that one of the most pivotal parts of her story is her history as a sex trafficking victim. like because generally i feel like in stories like these when the topic of sexual abuse comes up, the victims are treated as frankly alien and unknowable and purely objects of pity as opposed to. Well you know. people. both by the characters and the narrative itself.

y0 avoids this however by setting up majima and makoto as parallels both through their history (having been put through an extended period of torture as well as their vision being taken away for chasing after a brother they ended up losing as well as the sex/labor trafficking) but also their present story in the game - they spend the whole thing getting jerked around and treated as either barely ranking above a living sack of meat or alternatively a means to an end as opposed to people by everyone else around them as part of some insane overarching plot they have barely any context for for the majority of the game, any grasp they make at agency is met either with someone there to exploit it or violent retribution, and in the end they are completely powerless to do to basically anything at all.

like theyre two insanely miserable people having one of the worst times of their lives and by the end of it all they have is each other because everyone else is dead and gone but even this is a deeply temporary situation because if they somehow both make it out alive then its the end of their story together - if majima continues to associate with her while remaining in the yakuza it would paint a massive blaring target on her back that would only serve to put them through this again and again and again, which he would absolutely refuse to do and frankly which she would not want. like the circumstances which brought them together and allowed them to understand each other on a front unmatched by anybody else in their lives either before or after this point also dictate that they cannot ever stay with each other. its like "in another life" but there is no other life because a world that would allow them to be with each other is a world in which they are entirely different people.

the other reason that i reaaaaaaaally really like them is that it wouldve been sooooooooo so easy for rgg to make makotos story be completely co-opted by majima and a stupid romance subplot and they decidedly chose not to. like shimano's whole stupid insane plan that frankly was held together by 3 shoestrings and a prayer completely hinges on makoto falling in love with majima so that she'll do whatever he asks of her - namely handing over the lot, which she doesnt even want anyways - and when it comes to it she spits on the idea because SHE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE WANTS THOSE GUYS WHO KILLED HER BROTHER DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PAINFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what majima thinks she should do is a great concept but she wants blood. like yes ill admit the bar is on the floor but truly most cannot even begin to fathom clearing it. like when i was first playing i was sooooooo i was so scared because they had this phenomenal set up and i knew it would be sooo easy for them to make it shlock but they did NOT!!!! THEY DIDNT!!!!!!!!!! which is frankly astounding for this studio because "Sorry but her long lost brother just died in front of her i think the last thing she wants to do right now is make out with some guy" has not stopped rgg before. But it did today. more seriously though its really and truly so important to me that she is very much her own character with her own life outside of him and like when we get an update on her 20 years later shes married and has a kid and is happy and living her best life!!!!!

one last thing that i reaaaaaaally looove about this relationship is frankly kind of how insanely altruistic it is on majimas end. like genuinely it kind of makes me sick how he has no expectation of like any sort of benefit in it for him theres nothing he wants other than for her to be happy and hes very much aware that this means that he can never be a part of her life and of course it makes him miserable because he cares about her so much but again because he cares he'd make the decision to never let her know who he is again and again and again like im going to start eating glass and such. well whatever ill leave you with the ending of majima's kiwami 2 karaoke song and drive off a cliff

[lord-shitbox]

joy log 3/26 and uh. all the other days ive forgotten

hung out with one of my buddies we went swimming it was a lot of fun

while we were waiting for room to open up in the pool (theres a quota to keep it from getting too crowded) we went to the playground & it had like one of those wiggly bridges that shakes when you walk on it. so i stood on one end and she stood on the other & we both jumped around and catapulted each other into the air holy shit it was so fun

jangle and ais would do that. theyd go to a trampoline park and launch each other into orbit.

we also ate boba with a spoon and watched dandadan on my beanbag. delightful

she talked abt how shes awful at replying to texts so she's really into people who double or triple text her. this is great news bc she left me on delivered for a week a lil while ago & i was sure it meant she was upset with me

worked on the jangle & ais drawing theres some background detail now :) not a whole lot tho idrc abt it and the focal point stays them

also worked on my fic. i normally max out at 3k words & VERY rarely write more than 1k but this one's well over 5k now. reworked the bit id just been doing & theres one more paragraph i need to edit a little bit and then a short par or two to get me to the ending sequence ive planned out AND THEN! the first scene will be done. very very close now (another 2w probably lmfao)

been playing dolls with summer by making our ocs kiss its delightful

loosely planned the stuff i wanna make for the orchid festival in 2 months. i wanna finish the illust & fic ive got going rn first and then i;ll prob pivot to dedicating myself to that. 2 months straight of horny art lets go

been reading up on safe & ethical kink practices & kink negotiation is actually rewiring my brain a little. like sitting down and talking out exactly and specifically every single aspect of what you're ok to do to each other and what's not allowed. thats awesome holy shit this general principle should be applied to every single relationship ever. there is a lot of grief i couldve been spared if id known to approach consent & relationships like this

weather is PERFECT barely-warm temperature. and it was overcast and breezy too today which meant it was pleasant to be outside and not squint constantly from owie sun bright

i downloaded a dating app & i am shittign myself over it but it is showing me mentally ill enbies in my area and . hooooly shit

figured out im good with not smoking cigs bc i can just smoke joints instead. huge weight off my shoulders to not have that temptation

OH ALSO i made myself a sticker chart. its helping me keep up with life maintenance like showering and keeping my room clean AND its helping me stay sober when i know i shouldnt be using. fucking awesome (every 20 stickers i earn a do drugs)

the realization i had abt self esteem the other day. good shit. i just need to convince myself im capable and functional & not to assume everyone dislikes me & then ill live like lalalala yippee yay

finished the strawberry soda i had in the fridge

hung out with my dog

made good drinks at work yesterday

OH I WENT ON A WATERSLIDE SHIRTLESS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. it had been since before I got top surgery. Ive been looking forward to going way faster without the drag from a rash guard & it was a rlly small slide but I DID go fast

thank u to everyone that checked up on me when I was sad it really helped & I appreciate evry one of u

alright im sleepy.bedtime bedtime

[tismcosmology]

Thurs Jan 9, 2025

We're so back !!!! Winter break was long and cold and filled with many christmas dinners but i have survived to return for the second term.

Im gonna be real I have no clue how Im going to organize my to-do lists now because my workload is entirely different. I'll do a breakdown of my courses below, but i really only have weekly problem sets and quizzes and everything is due sunday/monday. So theres not much to keep track of on a week to week basis. I might pivot to keeping track of accomplishments instead but we'll see how it goes

This Terms Courses:

Math - Calculus 2

My prof for this class is. interesting. but im willing to give him a shot because im not switching into an earlier class time. Nervous considering calc 1 was my lowest grade last term but feeling much better about calc 2 overall, now that i feel on equal footing w the rest of my class

Physics - EM and Waves

Also nervous, not sure how its gonna go. My background knowledge on electromagnetism isnt half bad but its still a subject I dont have much confidence in rn

Physics - Modern Phys

Ive heard nothing but bad things about this class but honestly? Kinda hyped. Yeah the weekly and biweekly problem sets are probably going to make me tear out my hair and roll on the ground sobbing, but its cool so ill accept it

Physics - Intro Astronomy

Absolutly the class Im the most excited for. Not only do we spend the first 1-2 weeks talking about the ancient greeks and history of astronomy, we finally get into the stuff i took this program for. Not sure how in depth we're going, so i might know a lot of this courses info already, but I could never turn down listening to my prof rant about whatever the fuck he wants for 3 hours a week

Bio - Genetics

I might be dropping this one. Just based on courseload, my own physical and mental health, and time constraints. Its a required course for my biophys minor, but with the amount of work Im gonna have to put into physics and my disabilities i dont think im going to have the time or energy to follow this course through. (its also +4 hrs of class a week which brings me to a total of 22 hrs. not a fan). good course so far and ill need to take it eventually but probably not rn

I have 2 labs as well that I cant speak to because they dont start until weeks 2/3, but fingers crossed I get good groupmates

https://x.com/more_civilized

Sheev's Plan:

get elected to senate for naboo

start new sith order

work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)

PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.

make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.

Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.

(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then

build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot

(clone son betrays me but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan

let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later) let those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one themselves. very cute!

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(only via proxy tho. not done yet)

let(??) vaders grandson ("ben"?? ok) usurp failed clone and rule galaxy. wants to “kill the past” but whatever. can still make this work. NEED to keep this kid in the mix (will make sense when we get there)

drop the big news. Im not dead! Fortnite. awesome moment.

lead kylo ren to my base using complex scavenger hunt. puzzle knife.

tell him he’s always actually worked for me. big reveal. big moment. He's my lackey now. a little traitorous and unreliable, but this will pay off later trust me

use death star ships to take over galaxy even more

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(awesome... but not enough. something missing)

let kylo ren lead clone granddaughter to home base using complex scavenger hunt. Puzzle Knife cool enough idea to do twice i think

taunt granddaughter into killing me so i can possess her un-janked body. All part of my grand scheme...

Endgame achieved. (??)

(kylo ren betrays me)

PIVOT: Possession stupid plan anyway. Instead, use ben and reys Horny Essence to make my nasty old body normal again.

throw ben in hole (grandson purpose revealed)

destroy resistance with lightning powers. shooting spaceships down with magic lightning basically a solved problem at this point.

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

kill the granddaughter actually. dont need her anymore. lightning powers classic for a reason.

ive got this thing in the bag as long as she doesn't bounce the lightning back at me off her fucking laser sword.

Endgame achieved.

You know, all three times Palpatine took an L it was because he couldn't just couldn't stop jizzing lightning. In fact, with the exception of the bit where he tries a little burst and Yoda just catches it, every time he does it it breaks bad for him in some way cause he's just to much of a sicko to stop electro-jaculating in time. Compare this to the dignified, almost regal, force lightning emanations of Count Dooku.

Don't really have a point, but sometimes you just gotta post about Sheev Palpatine.

11:47 PM: Absolutely atrocious. I saw a really huge black squirrel scurrying around this morning, and didn't even think to document the cosmically beautiful moment until just now. Such a pivotal plot-point deserves more air-time and linguistic prowess than I can possible craft with only 11 minutes till 00:00. Ah 0... a little late addition to the numerical systems brought to us by our friends over in Mesopotamia.

I had some meetings today, TA'd, and attempted to do some work. My idea of "work" the last few weeks has been "prepping" for my qualifying exam, which basically just means slacking off while pretending to read pompous and intellectual textbooks and papers. I have some actual real molecular tomorrow that I've put off doing, however was attempting to be productive tonight by studying for my LSAT. It was excellent, until I changed gears and did some actual work (writing a title on a powerpoint slide). Needless to say, I'm exhausted.

However, it did bring my awareness to the harsh reality really know what I am doing. For the first time in a while, my motivational flow is receding into an ebb. Alas, I must delve into my cookie jar of discipline, instead of riding the effortless gumption that prevails my ego once every few months.

I want to read some textbooks and take some notes, but I'm a little unsure where in the mountain of resources to begin. Almost a paralysis, so many options and im not even sure where to start. Dare I say, void, that you are keeping me rather grounded and sane. Ive been enjoying flexing my little brain box in ways I don't usually. Scientific writing is structured and boring, but you don't care what I write? Do you void? Meep moop zorp zup. Reality is an illusion; the universe is a hologram. Buy XRP.

it's been 7 years since i lost my father. that was a horrible downward spiral in my life right at the start of highschool, and it took me from a straight A student to someone that barely had the energy to do anything but the bare minimum in class. as much as i miss my dad, i'm numb to it now. i only recognize life without him. what i haven't been able to get over is the youth and potential that i lost with him. instead of being able to go to college after highschool and become an engineering student, i had to join the workforce while still dragging myself through highschool. and now i feel trapped working miserable labor, completely unable to get enough financial stability to invest in myself and make things better. one must imagine sisyphus happy and all, but i'm sisyphus and im not happy. im drowning in the pain of surviving, unable to live life. i'm doing everything i can to make things better, but things continue getting worse all around me despite my effort. the paths that previous generations had for uplifting themselves are crumbling. im putting all of my hope into trade labor and exploiting my physical capabilities for any leg up, so that maybe it gets easier before my body gives out. its the same plan my father had before his body gave out on him. ive got more brain than he did so im hoping i can pivot and utilize it when possible, but im just doing what i can to survive until an opportunity presents itself. if my body gives our first, i can at least say i tried pops.

It's okay to 'grieve' things that aren't just death. I've allowed myself to grieve a friendship ending, a situationship, losing something important to me, etc. It's okay to give yourself time to process the loss of something. Grief looks different for everyone, try to find a way that works for you to help make it easier for you.
