ok so nobody asked, but in the absence of some good pictures of pride tape warmups from the sens pride game this weekend, I've been looking into the few pictures that are available and stumbled onto this unidentified player who made the absolute insane decision to use pride tape on their socks??
and i decided i need to know who it is.
the easiest way to start narrowing down the player's identity are the skates. they seem to be Bauer Vapor HyperLite Skates, which 8 sens players use, according to GearGeek.com
we can easily rule out josh since he's been on ir for months, but for everyone else remaining, we need to look at the tape job on the socks and the glimpse of stick
brannstrom, kastelic, tkachuk, stützle and batherson are out because they don't use a candy cane-type of tape
which leaves us with julien gauthier and claude giroux. from there, i zoomed in extremely closely on many, many pictures of their sticks t try to match them to the sliver of stick we see in that first picture and
it's claude giroux. 35 year old, flyers captain of 10 years claude giroux wrapped his shins in a single circumference's worth of pride tape for. pizzaz? support? leadership?
in conclusion, hire me as a sports journalist no one is asking the hard hitting questions like me
A pretty lil Bly from a fic i read where shes a senator for the vod. Fic is Wayward by Miyaji_08
(Bly isn’t trans in the fic but its wonderful and i had a whole collection of pieces i made from it but i accidentally deleted them so pls go read it it has force sensitive Bly)
Polar nights and polar days on Coruscant. Like parts of Galactic City that are either cold and dark or absolutely roasting and illuminated for months on end. How would local architecture make up for that. How would the culture reflect it. Aughfhnsdhdh
hear me out on this ok. ROTS AU where Anakin still turns to the dark side but that's Palpatine's problem.
So, Palpatine decides last minute that ehhhh maybe dooku could come in handy later and he doesn't encourage Anakin to kill him, and Dooku gets arrested and imprisoned in the Jedi Temple awaiting trial. (Also he didn't get his hands cut off because of uhh plot reasons?)
Fast forward.
Palpatine is encouraging Anakin towards the Dark side, tells him about Plagueis the Wise, etc. etc. But see, the thing is, Anakin is at the end of his tether, probably hasn't slept more than three hours over the past week, and has no remaining impulse control or inhibitions, and upon hearing that the Dark Side can save people from death, his first thought is, "wait a sec, we've got a Sith Lord in-house at the moment!" and he sprints out of the space opera and books it back to the temple.
Now, Dooku has been calmly waiting in Temple custody, confident that Darth Sidious will arrange his escape. But THEN Anakin barges into the cell like OMG THE CHANCELLOR TOLD ME THE SITH KNOW HOW TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM DYING AND I'M HAVING DREAMS ABOUT SOMEONE DYING AND I NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE THEM
At which point, Dooku realizes Palpatine's plan. He's going to tempt Skywalker to the Dark side and REPLACE DOOKU. this is totally uncool.
So he's like "...who are you dreaming about, exactly?"
Anakin freezes. He can't admit it's Padme because their relationship is top-secret and he can't admit how important she is to him so he tries to think of a good fib and goes "uhhhh OBI-WAN! Obi-Wan, it's Obi-Wan, I'm dreaming about Obi-Wan dying-" and he just throws himself into the drama because now he IS imagining obi-wan dying because Obi-Wan is fighting grievous at the moment and he MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE and that's in addition to Padme dying and he's totally spiraling at this point- "pleasepleaseplease you gotta help me he's like the only father i've ever known I don't know what i'll do without obi-wan I have to save him YOU GOTTA TELL ME WHAT TO DO I'LL DO ANYTHING--"
Dooku begins to smile.
(Would stealing Skywalker out from under his Master's nose be petty? Oh, yeah.)
(But it would also be very, very satisfying.)
---
Obi-Wan calls in to a council meeting to report his defeat of Grievous, but before he can say so, Mace announces that Dooku has escaped and the Sith Master has been killed.
Silence falls between the eleven councilmembers (eleven, not twelve, because their newest one is conspicuously absent. Obi-Wan wonders just what Anakin's up to now. Honestly, that boy will be the death of him.)
Obi-Wan clears his throat.
"...indeed," he says, trying to handle the shocking news with composure. "Well... at least we're down to one Sith, now."
if kosa passes i will have to delete all my accounts. i will have to lose all of my friends. my moms very against me being online and doesnt know i have a partner. ive been a shut in for years and at this point have no irl friends, losing my online friends would be the final nail in the coffin. i could get their phone numbers but theres only two people i know well enough to be comfortable with that, my partner and my friend val. kosa passing would mean i couldnt post my thoughts anymore, i couldnt share my art, id lose contact completely with the people i still want to be friends with but have drifted apart from and that terrifies me. if kosa passes and my mom is able to see what i post id have zero outlet, no way to have any privacy or space to myself. i would lose everything thats kept me alive, all the people whove saved me and cared for me, if kosa passes i feel like my fate as a corpse is sealed.
