Is Grand Moff Tarkin meant to be influenced by South Africa? When you look at his backstory on his home world of Eriadu it comes off like this terrifying savannah wilderness. Also, in the Darth Vader comics they portray him as hunting in his spare time. So, it makes him seem like this great white hunter type. I wonder if South Africa had an influence on Tarkin's conception as a character.

"When you're all dressed up And no place to go.." Winnpeg Tribune. September 20, 1943. Page 11. ---- WITH just the heel of a box of shells and with only one of those AA cards for the gas, there's many a duck hunter who will do his duck hunting in front of the fireplace this year. The season opened in Manitoba this morning and quite a few, like Tom Lamont, of 183 Oakdean blvd., who posed for the picture above, must be satisfied with memories of trips to the marshes. The ducks haven't got it all their own way, however, for plenty of hunters had some shells left over from last year. As for new shells, even farmers, trappers and prospectors need a permit to buy them.

Due to an unprecedented new organizational technique(making a folder labeled 'old2022' instead of 'old7'), this year I can easily look back on everything I made and put my favorites into list format according to how much serotonin they deliver when I look at them. This is truly the most objective and important of categorical characteristics.

At 85, Ian Hunter Still Acts Like a Young Dude
Ian Hunter turns 85 today, barely a month after releasing Defiance Part 2: Fiction, a guest-filled album featuring posthumous appearances from Jeff Beck and Taylor Hawkins and other musical collaborators, including members of Stone Temple Pilots, Def Leppard, Wings and others.
Which goes to show that even though Hunter’s an old dude - born June 3, 1939 - he’s still acting like young dude, still carrying the news. And there may be more from whence that came.
“Oh, you never know,” Hunter recently told the Strange Brew.
“Yeah, I’m working and yes, I’ve got tracks. But not too many. I stopped for five, six years once. The minute I say I’m on a roll, I’m not. It’s something you don’t want to talk about.”
The one-time Mott the Hoople leader has the weird distinction of his best-known band track - David Bowie’s “All the Young Dudes” - being a cover and his most-famous solo numbers (“London Rocks” and “Once Bitten, Twice Shy”) being thus after being covered by the Presidents of the United States of America, as “Cleveland Rocks,” and Great White, respectively.
The latter, Hunter recently told Goldmine magazine, “was OK.
“I didn’t really listen to it to be honest with you,” he said. “I mean, it’s more on the metal side, so I don’t really listen that much to stuff like that. But it sold a couple of millions, so I’m not complaining.”
Carry the news: Eight-five-year-old man not complaining.

If I had a nickel for every time I have grown fond of a blond male homunculus who (at one point) wants to make their morally problematic creator proud......

Sal: None submitted.
Killua Zoldyck: (child assassin. Slashed his mother's face to escape. Mother is real happy about that. Brother planted needles into his head so that he always ran off when facing a strong opponent. Same brother also gave him a complex about making friends which persists throughout the story. Rips out people's hearts like it's nothing. Got tortured by his family for a while but then walked off without so much as a wince. Passed multiple levels in a fighting ring place at the age of eight and brought Choco robots with the money. Electrically shocked himself to develop his powers further. Would give his life for his friend. Is currently roaming the world with his younger sister who's possessed by a cursed entity from a dangerous island),

You are a genius naming your characters, how do you do It?
😭❤️❤️ thank you
tbh it's mostly coincidence or happy accident. For Riot Kings, just about every character was named on the fly based on their vibes. (The exceptions are Nabi, because I was looking for female Korean names, and Mercury Swift, which is a name I came up with and wrote down a while before starting RK because it sounded cool)
For T$$ I created the main cast all at once, and wanted to have varying syllables and vowel sounds. More than anything else, this is usually what I fall back on:
For example, Joy and Vic are both one-syllable names, and deliberately have different ending sounds
Kaius, Benji, and Hunter are all two-syllables, but they have enough sound variance to keep me happy lol
It's more my own personal preference than any real advice, but this is something I've stuck to to the point of changing a name if I realize I have too many two-syllable names or too many "ee" or "oh" sounds already (just examples)
For last names, I'll usually google surnames from that character's heritage and find one that makes a good cadence with their first name (aka I say a few combos out loud and see which one rolls the best)

Once Bitten, Twice Shy
- Ian Hunter
Just in Case You Never Heard the Original! ; )
youtube
I love the way they danced in the 70's. I've seen old T.V. shows from that time period and I get such a kick out of watching them get down. I mean, they really got into it!
I freaking love this song. It tells such an interesting story, you know? I think it was great that Great White covered it in the 80's. I'll post the remake next. They only changed it slightly. I don't think the writer, Ian Hunter - who you see here, singing the tune - was crazy about the remake because he felt it was missing the swing. To him the remake sounded flat. I mean, i get that, lol. They made a modern rock song. He had this hip, 70's, funky, bluesy number. But I love them both. This guy wrote a great song. Ian Hunter is such a cool cat.
(I can't help but think about all those bands on the road and all those groupies and highway honeys they picked up along the way. To all you groupies out there ... born in the wrong decade.)

if hunter toh wasn't the only white guy in the main cast literally none of u would care about him this much. it is so crazy that i can go in like the lumity or raeda tag and still like at least half of the posts will involve hunter in some way. it is crazy that all of the fan content i see about willow isnt actually about willow at all but about her and hunter being together. and by "crazy" i mean So irritating and So very telling. i dont care if u think hunter is a transfem autistic lesbian or whatever there are literal actual trans (canon + coded) characters + blatantly autistic/neurodivergent coded characters (i.e. LUZ. THE PROTAGONIST.) and an actual canon lesbian RIGHT THERE. he's the ONLY WHITE GUY IN THE MAIN CAST and u all act like he's the most interesting guy on the planet when in reality he's just like fine. literally every other character is Right There they're all RIGHT. THERE.
