#where’s those longass tags I wrote about him being my plumber/dj mate in the smoking area of a nightclub #same logic #looks like he puts seven pints away on a Saturday night #looks like he’ll offer you a smoke and when you tell him you don’t smoke he’ll say ‘good on you lass. and don’t you start!’ #looks like he listens to niche techno but will go absolutely nuts if he hears come on eileen at the pub #looks like when you go home with him his toilet only has one roll of toilet paper sitting on the ground and no hand towels #the way I know at least 8 of him personally

so bleak that I ask for a bag on Instagram and it's 40$, as if that isn't the salary of a big chunk of the population. It's actually my salary in one of my jobs, with the addendum that because I work in health I can actually just work two afternoons there, meanwhile for other people it's a full time job.

It's not even about if I have the money (which... I don't, for a bag)

#this is close to the psychology... school? idk how its named in english #saying an appointment should cost 40$ #same logic #i guess we have public health but itsso deficient #it just saddens me #izzy.txt

Im making ryuutaros possess one of the most recent reiwa riders aaaand i was confused on how to go with the rider's appearance when possessed by ryuutaros whether to change their overall appearance in-universe meaning other chaeacters also see inexplicable change in appearance and clothes on top of a major personality change.

Or go with no their appearance not changing in-universe... lol.

(My cousin still cannot help but laugh remembering everytime momo possesses ryotaro and somehow the muscles are visible through the clothes when they werent before.

Either the clothes is one size small from the actor's usual clothes as the character or its too small for him lol.)

you know i think i've only ever had it so that miura saw it, and like a random npc, actually lmao. and king kyoryuger GOT possessed so like...he saw it in HIS body

#honestly i think either works tbh go with your heart #remember how it didn't matter that momo threw the card deck except the one episode it DID? #same logic

since AI has gotten prolific posting art on social media has been so fun 🤪

#if u have fb don’t harass them or anything thank you #it’s just fucking hilarious they’re subtly insulting my art the entire time too lmfaooo #‘the art styles are indecipherable’ LMAO 1) AI is no where NEAR my art aesthetics wise and #2) my art has changed pixel art as a medium like sorry not sorry lol #anti ai #so much ai shit CONSTANTLY happening now lol #all pixels is the same #is this man’s logic lmfaooo

a little experiment

#rainworld #looks to the moon #five pebbles #rainworld downpour #rainworld hunter #rainworld survivor #rainworld monk #rain world #i know i said i think that while monk has parallels with pebbles moon logically would have survivor #but im starting to enjoy the thought of moon having parallels with hunter as both are doomed to fall despite their best efforts #both terribly wanting to live despite being doomed #i see hunter as this energetic thing that thrives through the thrill of a life it knows deep down is going to be short #something brute forcing its way through its illness just to live a little longer #it and moon are made of the same stuff... neither wanted this fate so they struggle until the end against it

laios when his party needed more members:

#eliot posts #dunme #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #laios touden #toshiro nakamoto #though i suppose this samurai was less hired and more just dragged along lmao #toshiro (and his team's) existence within this setting absolutely tickles me #bc the setting is so like. Standard Ambiguously Old Timey European Fantasy Setting #and then there just. is a samurai there. #it makes absolute logical sense if you think about it #like yeah of course a world that includes many continents will have more than just Fantasy Europe #but nonetheless seeing a samurai and a knight side by side in the same story is such a genre twist #(i hope no one has made this joke before lol it feels too obvious)

Reading older comics like I love this, this is so dumb 😭 and reading modern comics like I hate this, this is so dumb 😒.

#golden/silver age comics are ridiculous/zany/fun #you read it through the lens of like cartoon logic #but that same feeling doesn't apply to modern comics (although waid managed to bring it in during his dick/kara date issue) #so everything in modern comics that is bad is just bad alskdja and doesn't have that cartoon logic excuse #do you know what i mean alskdja

This parallel makes me insane actually (and there is something incredibly Lawlu about it to me)

#One Piece #Monkey D. Luffy #Sanji #Trafalgar Law #Lawlu #something about Luffy saying almost the exact same thing that Corazon said to Law makes me so emotional actually #It's easy to think Corazon and Luffy would get along. they are both kindhearted goofy sweethearts #but it's more than JUST that #it's that deeper thing where they understand and carry the pain of the people they hold dear #And it's the fact that overhearing Corazon say this is pretty much what changed Law's life #To know that he is cared for and seen and someone wants the best for him #And then Law loses him #And then years later he aligns himself with Monkey D Luffy #Someone who has these echoes of Corazon in him #The echoes of the person he held so close to his heart #Like. It's no wonder Law is so compelled and mystified by Luffy in equal measure #I think if Law heard Luffy say this to Sanji he'd go insane #cause I know he's remember everything Cora said that night exactly #and it might tell him why he sought out and believed in Luffy against all odds and logic #(why he cares for him so much too. why Luffy's stubborn insistence on loving him without condition is so familiar) #I don't even know if these tags are making any sense but IM FEELING THINGS OK #donquixote rosinante #Corazon

It’s so sad to me that a huge part of the Star Wars fandom still talks about how the Jedi lost their way and one of the main reasons is that the fought in the clone wars.

Because this is a children’s show. For children. And in the Jedi crash episode they literally bring up this argument.

“It takes two to fight”

And:

This old man goes off on them. He chooses peace. But what does his peace look like?

The separatists come in and are like “our planet now” and he’s like “ok fine”

And then they use the planet to test out a HUGE weapon that would killed MILLIONS of innocent people and clones. So already his “peace” is just breeding more violence.

But then they decide to use his people as test subjects.

What he was doing wasn’t “peace” it was compliance. He was aiding colonizers and invaders and then they were going to kill him and his entire community because of it.

The separatists were literally conquering planets and killing and enslaving the inhabitants. You wanted the Jedi to sit back and go “sorry man. We like peace. Can’t get involved.”

I just… how can so many people in this fandom misinterpret something that was shoved down their throats??

#in that same ass arc Ahsoka learns a very simple lesson about attachment to but hey guess who fucking missed that point too #she was worried about Anakin and she wanted to stay by his side and protect him. #but LEAVING anakin. and knowing that he may not make it. is HOW she saved him. #she put the needs of everyone first. if she had let her attachment to Anakin over-rule her logic— #she would have stayed by his side to make HERSELF feel better. which would have helped no one #pro jedi #star wars

when people talk about educating yourself on the origins of ideologies like zionism, it isn’t to ask for sympathy but to show that fascism always hinges on the same rules - dehumanisation and other-ing of scapegoat populations in the pursuit of power.

fascism is, at the end of the day, uncreative and there is value in recognising the signs. When an entire ideology is dependent on the inherent depravity of a certain identity, it is worth some scrutiny.

#we are all susceptible to propaganda and because of that there is value in learning the signs of when you should start asking questions #why exactly is Israel’s identity completely dependent on the eradication of Palestinians? #is it perhaps because the fact that Palestine was its own nation interferes with the concept of Jews being indigenous to Israel? #this is the same dehumanising logic you’ll have seen in every settler’s rhetoric #in America in Australia in all of the colonised world #remember that any freedom we now enjoy was fought for tooth and claw #Israel is not unique. it is just the current example of settler colonialism #and in recognising this has happened before we can recognise the same propaganda techniques being used to villlainise Palestinians #believe in the possibility of a free Palestine #it will happen #from the river to the sea #Palestine #israel #free palestine

Don't question what logical loops I had to leap through to make this happen, Shockwave's already doing that for y'all :)

do you think in universes where empurata exists that shockwave can remember the feeling of having a face? of remembering seeing from two eyes instead of one? does his head burn in pain as a twitch of non-existant lips spark incomplete pathways through his brain, does he miss the sensation of teeth and tongue beneath those twitching lips, heavy against the bottom of the mouth he no longer has?

what’s the other meaning of nan feng :0

this may not be intentional by the author, but nf's name 南风 (nán fēng) is pronounced the same as 男风 (nán fēng) which means "male homosexuality" lol

nf's name is written with the character for "south" and "wind" while the other one is written with the character for "man" and "wind"

it's very obvious why fx would choose these characters for a fake name at the last minute, but in boys' names, 南 (south) is often used instead of 男 (man) because it sounds the same but has a softer meaning than just putting MAN in the name lol

(this ask is a follow up to this comic)

#moko replies #please take this with a grain of salt its just for laughs #not exactly the same 漢字 logic in japanese but my friend from china told me lol

#poorly drawn cats #I had so much fun the first time - so I did it again! #Several of these cats are actually repeats from last time. If they are they are in the same spot as the last post. #So many of you have tuxedo cats! Perfectly camouflaged for fancy parties! #If you are ever feeling a little down about drawing or just about life in general...remember...cats contort in the weirdest shapes. #There is a kitty out in the world right now defying all sense of logic as it contorts to groom itself. #Thank you to *everyone* who sent their cat pics my way. It helped cheer me up a lot. #Might be a while until/if I make part 3 but I very much loved the cat-tharis of drawing all of this. #Now I have to hand deliver these kitties to their owners.

An Exploration of Anakin Skywalker and Miss Piggy

(do NOT judge me)

Anakin Skywalker holds the unique position of being one of the most famous fictional characters of all time. Instantly recognizable, the epitome of iconic villainy, he goes beyond beloved character to join the ranks of cultural icons.

Over the past 50 years, countless analyses have been written on Anakin Skywalker and his hero's journey. While virtually every aspect of the character has been explored, one remains critically unexamined: his similarity to another cultural icon, Miss Piggy from the Muppets. While both of their presences in pop culture are nearly ubiquitous, the two have curiously never been associated with each other in the cultural lexicon.

This paper aims to explore Anakin Skywalker's and Miss Piggy's similarities through the lens of their background, their general characteristics, and their relationships. In doing so, it argues that Anakin Skywalker and Miss Piggy share a common basis as people shaped by their rage and their love in equal measure.

Background

When examining Anakin Skywalker and Miss Piggy's backgrounds, the author finds that they share several common beats. Anakin Skywalker grew up on a backwater planet, abused and a victim of a violent system from birth. Irrevocably shaping him forever, it formed the backdrop for his complicated relationship with his mother and his eventual fall into deep evil. Miss Piggy's journey neatly parallels this, as demonstrated in the following quote from Frank Oz:

"She grew up in a small town; her father died when she was young and her mother wasn't that nice to her. She had to enter beauty contests to survive. She has a lot of vulnerability which she has to hide, because of her need to be a superstar"

Both Anakin Skywalker and Miss Piggy had troubled childhoods; both grew up in backwater towns; both had complex relationships with their parents, whether through absent fathers or painful memories of their mother. Both had to use their bodies to survive. In Anakin's case, living as a piece of property who did not own his own body; in Miss Piggy's, falling back on her beauty to participate in systematic objectification. Anakin risks his life in podraces; Miss Piggy stalwartly appears in bacon commercials. Both suffered insecurities as a result of their upbringing: Anakin, forever unsure of his personhood, and Miss Piggy, tied to a mother who never wanted her. Forged in similar fires, Anakin and Miss Piggy's lives show two beings sharpened by their experiences, made especially clear in their characteristics.

Characteristics

Anakin Skywalker and Miss Piggy are primarily defined by need to respond with violence. Miss Piggy is described as conveying a feminine charm - then suddenly flying into violent rages when thwarted. In the Star Wars trilogy, Anakin Skywalker is famed as the dashing Hero with No Fear, while savagely violent when it suits his purposes. Capricious, arrogant, and convinced that they're destined for greatness, both Anakin and Miss Piggy bear the marks of their childhood. After years of being treated as worthless, neither can handle critiques gracefully, although notably Miss Piggy shows herself to be more violent than Anakin in this regard. Pre-Vader Anakin complains; Miss Piggy goes for the kill. Regardless of response, both are convinced nothing will stand in their way.

Additionally, Miss Piggy and Anakin even share a few physical characteristics. Both are burly and physically intimidating compared to the others around them. Both wear gloves that are symbolic; Miss Piggy's, of the image she wants to convey to the world, and Anakin's, of risking being more machine than man. They also both are martial artists. Anakin Skywalker is frequently described as one of the most powerful and dangerous Jedi of his generation, a formidable and cunning warrior; Miss Piggy is famed for her karate chop that sends its target flying across the room.

Most essentially, both are figures of puppetry who still retain their agency. Anakin Skywalker is a victim of forces larger than himself, groomed to be a Sith Lord since childhood, and yet the inevitability of his fall is disproven by his own kindness and heroism preceding it. As with all muppets, Miss Piggy is a puppet but one who, within the story, has a will of her own. She, much like Anakin, makes her choices in the end.

Relationships

Lastly, Anakin Skywalker's and Miss Piggy's relationships mirror each other with similar dimensions. Their relationships are characterized by intensity and undertones of violence. Anakin Skywalker consistently shows an interest in Padme, pursuing her only to be rebuffed; Miss Piggy consistently shows an interest in Kermit, pursuing him only to be rebuffed. After a rocky road in the beginning, both experience rejection until they are rejected in no longer in a whirlwind romance - Anakin, after a respectful acceptance of Padme's wishes, and Miss Piggy, after a dogged pursuit. Once together, the relationships are unstable and dysfunctional. Anakin beats another man in a jealous rage, while Miss Piggy, "when not smothering [Kermit] in kisses...is sending him flying through the air with a karate chop." Both are on and off again with their partners; both are truly in love but struggle to form healthy connections after a childhood of trauma.

Conclusion

As seen above, Miss Piggy and Anakin Skywalker share similarities in background, characteristics, and relationships. While this paper attempts to begin an exploration into these similarities, future work is still needed to fully flesh out their radical extent. This paper did not cover issues such as the two both being incredibly melodramatic, among others, nor how both suffer the consequences of their rage. The author would like to close with a cautionary quote from Friedrich Nietzsche:

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

THERE WE HAVE IT! Scugified all of the local group by putting them in the same situation as Sliver or Straw more or less!

These are mostly for fun so I haven't sat down to ponder them too hard hehe hoho

Explanation on their designs below the cut:

The Martyr (LTTM) - He's very tough, more cold resistant and capable of surviving one or two lizard bites even due to his sheer size, which makes him very slow. In addition, kind of like Saint, he is completely passive and cannot kill creatures.

The Prodigy (FP) - Very quick and also fully carnivorous! Her fur is very light so she has to use her food pips in order to glow and warm herself up. Can maul like Artificer while having the strength of Monk. You'll mostly be chasing bat flies with her.

The Sage (SRS) - They are completely blind so you navigate the world and map using your hearing and other senses. It looks like you are in pitch darkness in shaded with the iggy effect when it shows you the surrounding area. You can see every creature on the map that's in the room with you or the next one. She can also make pearls using rocks!

The Nomad (NSH) - Always moving from one area to the next, you can’t rest in the same shelter twice, unless you exit the area and come back. She can also camouflage kind of like white lizards do and crouch move while camouflaged.

The Judge (GW) - The Judge doesn’t ascend every creature. He’s relatively fast and has strong spear throws. If you are killed with the Judge, next cycle the creature will be marked for you on the map at all times. If you ignore the mark The Judge loses karma and vice versa gains one karma if you commit to the kill.

The Acolyte (UI) - He’s small and emits light with which he can befriend certain creatures and gain protection from them! He crawls slower than average and can only carry one item ar a time, because of his missing hand, but jumps higher.

#rainworld #rain world #hmm not sure how to tag this hehe #rw saint #the prodigy #the martyr #the sage #the nomad #the judge #the acolyte #ive had a LOT of requests for slug cat iterators!!! #im sorry if this isnt what u expect #but since saint doesn resemble sliver of straw #i thought itd make sense to use the same logic for the others too! #thank u for asking dear askers!

The lack of understanding and empathy for cult survivors is really alienating. Because the same people that (rightfully) get upset hearing domestic violence jokes or rape jokes will make jokes about starting a cult.

#i logically understand that people actually mean commune or group or something innocuous #emotionally... all i can hear is 'i have a desire to abuse/harm a group of people' #and like. the same people that would balk at any other abuse joke don't think of it like that when it comes to cults #cults are not just a silly little group with weird beliefs teehee #they do actual harm #and I'm sick of people joking about subjecting others to the same trauma i went through #and i *logically know that people are just not educated* #it still deals psychic damage to see #ex cult #religious trauma #rape ment #i just #nobody feels safe when my trauma is free game to joke about
