#yes this should be minimum

[kathaynesart]

Have some Replica Leo for Round 2 of the @tmntfashioncompetition! This time the theme is: "Traditional Garment." I’ll be up against @villainleoau and I’m nervous cuz that’s a STELER crew and some of the most talented artists in the fandom (also their fashion sense is off the charts)!

For the art I decided to lean into some traditional Japanese attire and a prosthetic more befitting of the era. Originally I was just going to have Leo's missing arm be covered, but if he wants to be truly capable with a katana he'd need something to help keep the sheath affixed when removing his sword. This is especially necessary for duels, since the speed and pressure applied from the drawing of the sword are imperative. I imagine he has several more varying tools he can screw onto his arm in the little side pack. Also note, the Kanji means "ninja" or "ninpo" and the finer hiragana text is the infamous "You are not alone" line. I had a lot of fun with this one, trying to decide if maybe I should put it up for print.

Some of my inspo under the cut:

Alex and Greg using they/them pronouns for Mae without problem, like the non issue it really always should be. As if I couldn't love Takmaster even more. This show is genuinely the best thing that has ever happened to television in my opinion

I know people are happy that Kab (Gb Patch) called out this person on their racism and took a firm stance on this matter, but what we're not gonna do is praise her for this.

This might come off as a shock to others but this is the bare fucking minimum, this is not her being a saint or based or whatever word you want to use. This is a white person setting their foot down on racism which is what white people should be doing from the start.

(idc, there is no reason that face masks shouldnt be available for purchase in every high trafficked area ((e.g. AIRPORTS)) as a basic first-aid item. the same way you are able to buy hand sanitizer and advil and toothpaste. you should be able to buy a face mask)

Every time I write a comment on ao3, every single time I always start the comment off by saying "I wish I could write a longer comment but-" and then I always have to go back and delete it because I end up writing like at least 3 paragraphs....

it's literally not a good idea in any way shape or form but I want to get a second job in fast food

The urge to spend a 100$ on merch before getting my paycheck is so strong. I might not survive soldiers

cassian's bullshit charges remind me so much of the bullshit charges irl like "resisting arrest" and the others that cops and the court system will levy against anyone they feel like abusing. cops can have and will charge people with damage to property after beating the shit out of a protester or innocent person.

another “god i fucking hate my sister for existing” moment and the infamous fernsong sequence that is honestly kinda weird cause it explicitly states that she-cats are the only ones expected to raise kits and thats not the man’s job and shit but the fandom slobbered all over it and shat on everyone who preferred the lesbian ivypool hc because somehow this is actually the most feminist groundbreaking scene ever bc fernsong is breaking the rule that Men Dont Raise Babies and he deserves endless praise for it, back to back. truly a cursed pair of pages

What do you think about the training scene in Tales of Jedi ? It seems useless and cruel to me (especially in comparison to the one in Kenobi) but maybe you have a different opinion

I think it was absolutely practical and necessary, and no matter how painful, exhausting, and frustrating it was for Ahsoka, the training utterly pales in comparison to the reality that she is a child who was originally sent out onto a battlefield with ZERO experience.

Ahsoka is and likely always was exceptional with a lightsaber, which is why Yoda for some reason thought it would be alright for her to be sent to Christophsis. But you gotta understand. While Jedi are taught combat and are skilled fighters, being prepared to use your lightsaber as a peacekeeper is completely different from being sent onto the front lines of massive battles as a commanding officer of an army. Before the war, the lil training remote was sufficient. As a Jedi initiate who grew up sheltered in the Temple, Ahsoka would have never experienced anything like Christophsis until she arrived there.

Anakin knows this. Anakin, if he could, probably never would have wanted to take a Padawan onto a battlefield, no sane Jedi would. But he didn't have a choice. So he decided to prepare her as much as he could, with the help of men he knows are skilled with blasters. Yes, it'll hurt. Yes, it might even be cruel. But better that Anakin be cruel and Ahsoka covered in bruises and unconscious than her being DEAD because she didn't (couldn't have) the experience necessary to stay alive.

After all, very single one of those times she falls unconscious, if that had been live fire, she'd have been dead.

And if it was too much? If Ahsoka had decided to call it quits, say she can't handle this? Then Anakin probably would have let her leave. But it would have also forfeited her right to be on a battlefield—it would have given Anakin an excuse to sideline her until he considered her ready. After all, if she can't handle practice fire in a controlled, safe environment, she certainly has no right to be on a field where an enemy is shooting to kill. And Ahsoka likely knew this, and she wanted to be there with her Master and the boys, so she stuck it out.

So no, I don't think the training was useless or cruel. I think it was cruel for a child to be dumped into the middle of a war. And I think the skills she learned from the training—that Ahsoka chose to continue even by herself, even without Anakin's supervision—saved her life in many, many situations. The episodic nature of the Clone Wars series means that we see only the biggest events, and nothing in between. We do see Ahsoka grow up, but she must have necessarily done the work in between missions to reflect, to train, to improve. So I think it was great that we got to see part of that.

All of this is under the assumption that Ahsoka just needed to survive the war, which is likely all Anakin was thinking about when he came up with the training. But add in the fact that she needed to literally dodge fire from the clones...

No, I don't think it was useless at all.

got scheduled outside of my availability for the next two weeks, working every single day with no days off. already decided if my new manager doesn’t take some of the shifts back I’m putting in my two weeks notice. or maybe quitting without notice entirely. genuinely think I made the biggest mistake of my life transferring stores. my old manager respected my availability and it was all just better. it was so much better. I basically am just getting handed all the worst shifts no one else is willing to do. and the water is fucking disgusting which isn’t the biggest issue but on top of everything else I can’t even drink anything.

jobs that ask for a cover letter should pay me more.
