#And have a bit of knowledge

[revenantghost]

I somehow managed to go into Trimax with no spoilers as to who Razlo was and MAN that was a good twist, hats off to you Nightow for making this fun little mystery

#TrigunBookclub #I know he shows up in this volume but #It's early in the week so I won't spoil it #Also I don't have the disorder myself but #Someone I care about very VERY much does #So I've done quite a lot of research to support that person as best I can #And have a bit of knowledge #And while it falls into some early tropes that is a bit tiring #Overall it's such wildly thoughtful rep for an action-based seinen??? #I think about this example specifically when I talk about how much Nightow seems to know about trauma #Because like??? #My dude must have HUNTED for information when this was being published to get this right #Even if he happened to have it like #It's not exactly the most realistic #But it's so much more thoughtful than MOST rep #Idk I just think Razlo's Neat #Especially given the era he was written and the obvious thought put into him #Between him and Elendira just #Man #MAN!!!! #Anyway

"Luke Skywalker isn’t like the old Jedi. He saves Vader with his attachments!”

Wrong!

Luke Skywalker, at the end of Return of the Jedi, after his confrontation with the Emperor drags Darth Vader through the destructing Death Star. He’s desperate, knuckles white under the heavy weight of his father’s body, a little boy dragging his dad to safety. He sets Vader down for a moment, to catch his breath or maybe to get a better grip. He goes to grab Vader again, but Vader, uncomfortable and in pain, asks Luke to take off the mask. He wants to see Luke through his eyes instead of the eyes Palpatine built for him. Luke refuses, says that removing the mask is a sure way for Vader to die. Luke doesn’t want Vader dead, he wants Vader alive. Not to hold him accountable for his many evil acts, but for the same reason why Luke Skywalker can’t kill Darth Vader; Vader is his father and Luke loves him.

And yet, after a moment, Luke removes Vader’s mask. He doesn’t want to, he hesitates, but he removes the mask with enough slowness to allow Vader to take it back. In that moment, Luke sets aside his desire for Vader in his life, sets aside his desire to see him live, and sets aside his entire mission, the reason he was even on the Death Star in the place. In his compassion for his father, Luke stays with Vader until he dies. It is this moment where we see him be the best damn Jedi he can be. I’d even argue that this moment is the greatest example of non-attached love we see. Because Luke lets Vader go! He lets his father die, and in some ways, by removing the mask, he too kills Vader, he stays with him until his last moment, gives him the kindness of granting his last wish and finally chooses Vader.

And Luke doesn’t have to do this. If Luke Skywalker’s love for his father was an attachment, he would ignore Vader and continue dragging him to the escape pod, put his desire for a father as his central focus and ignore Vader’s wants and discomfort. Maybe he would even save him. But he doesn’t. Instead, he watches as Vader dies.

He builds a Jedi burial for his father and watches it burn the remnants of Vader and Anakin Skywalker away. He mourns Vader, he mourns what they could’ve had as father and son, considers what ifs and maybe-if-I-did-this. Vader/ Anakin is released from his mortal body, from his ‘crude matter’ and Luke lets him go. He says one final goodbye to Anakin. Then, he joins Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando, and the rest of the Rebels and celebrates their victory. He lives in the present and celebrates what he has instead of what he lost.

Luke Skywalker is THE Jedi. Everything about Luke Skywalker serves as the foundational cornerstone of the Jedi, everything about the Jedi as a culture and philosophy is reflected in his character. Luke’s desire for the New Jedi Order isn’t to throw away the values of the old Order, but to vitalise them, breathe life back into dying lungs, and rebuild a path that people set out on their way to destroy. (Yes, his Order is different from the Old, but that’s because it has to be. He doesn’t have the resources or the safety of the Old Order.) The philosophies of the Jedi are difficult and they aren’t for everyone, and like the perfect Jedi that Luke is, he struggles and stumbles and sometimes he even rejects it. But, no matter how far he falls, it is a way of life he chooses again and again and again. It is a way of life that welcomes him back each time

#luke skywalker #star wars #pro jedi #jedi positive #luke skywalker meta #luke skywalker loves being a jedi and i'm so tired of people pretending he doesn't #I hate you 'time-travel fics where Luke judges the Order for how they've handled things' #Luke would be the people's padawan actually chasing everyone down to acquire every bit of knowledge that they have #star wars meta #jedi order #the jedi #anakin skywalker #darth vader #the original trilogy #a new hope #empire strikes back #return of the jedi #if I tell you that luke outgrows anakin/vader? if I tell you that Vader is just the start of his Jedi growth and the end of it? then what? #Iong post #it kind of ran away from me

Do you have any advice on finding ethical cat breeders? I've only ever adopted, but I'm hoping to get hairless (or slightly haired) breed in the future due to my partner's allergies.

oh sure, here's what sold me on the breeder I'm currently wait-listed for:

she lists the 40+ health tests her animals have gone through, and has the results uploaded onto her website

each cat has their coefficient of inbreeding visible

it's not a kitten factory. there are set times of year when breeding occurs (in this case, spring and fall)

breeding animals have short careers and then are retired, to avoid strain on their bodies, and allow them to live as pets

she attends cat shows to ensure her animals are meeting breed standards

there are rarely any kittens 'for sale', as most sales are done through a waitlist. this means that even before being born, most of the kittens she produces already have waiting homes.

she requires buyers to sign a contract saying that this will be an indoor cat, and that there will be no declawing

also in the contract: if for whatever reason you can no longer care for your cat, she will take it back and find a home for it.

doesn't breed for any unethical traits (extreme brachycephaly, manx tails, folded ears, lykoi fur mutation, munchkin legs, etc.)

doesn't make outlandish claims - anyone who breeds lower allergen cats should be forthright about the fact that no cat will truly be hypoallergenic, only less allergenic

requires the cat to have a feline companion if it is of a more social breed (oriental, siamese, devon rex, etc)

has a 2 year congenital health guarantee

there's probably more, but that's off the top of my head!

EDIT: as for your particular situation, aim for breeds that produce less of the protein in their saliva that triggers allergies. Devon Rexes (the breed I'm getting) are a double whammy in this regard, as they produce less of the protein, and shed less fur into their environment.

#when I was a teenager I got pangur from a shitty breeder #but in eleven years I have gained a liiiittle bit of knowledge 😤 and now I can do better!

two b-list sons of God and a second-rate resurrection

#tlt #my art #tower princes here pictured shortly after having chopped up a bunch of devil-infested civilians at antioch and burning the bits #which is a thing they did! crazy. #like...between htn and ntn ianthe and kiriona were just. bonding over committing war crimes in the name of imperialism i guess! #i think ppl forget sometimes that they weren't JUST on the mithraeum they were actually at antioch. idk how much they were actually on #the front lines but they were THERE roughing it in the military encampment or w/e. and gideon seemed to have #pretty firsthand knowledge of the devils and their specific disposal methods so. yeah i think she was doing some chopping and burning. #anyway the text in image 1 is the parable of the prodigal son #and image 2 is luke 9:22 (jesus foretells his death) and mark 16:6 (the resurrection) #imagine you practice ninth house religion and your iconography looks like this.

i'm suddenly thinking about rockstar!eddie shooting a music video on some naval ship and meeting actual sailor!steve who's all dressed up in his whites 'cause eddie's a big name star and the captain said everyone had to look their best and eddie immediately folding for the pretty guy in uniform

just: eddie wanting a couple of the guys to act in the video 'cause hopefully then they'd actually know what they're doing, and asking the capt to point out his most competent sailor. the capt immediately points out one of his low-ranking ensigns (like, brand new baby officer 'cause that's the kinda shit an officer would pull) and eddie, having been raised by wayne (who i'm hc-ing as a navy vet) knows better and is immediately like "No sir, I said your most competent, not your least. someone point me to THE second class. Where's he? I need an enlisted guy." and a higher-ranking chief that's been following the band around the ship all day bellows out a laugh and says "You're gonna want Harrington, Mr. Munson."

idk idk, it's niche but for some reason my mind went into the cold clammy depths of my time in the navy this morning and i was like 'NOPE! don't wanna dwell here, make it fun! make it about the blorbos so you dont get sad!!' lmao

#the worms wormed a little bit this morning #i have a whole hc about the song for the video being one that jeff wrote about missing his gf while out on tour #but it's also just about long distance/missing someone in general and eddie's like 'ya okay i don't quite get it' but he's the lead singer #so he's gonna be the one headling the vid and they decide on a ship cause what else is that longing but missing your SO while on deployment #crossover of fic readers and those who have inside knowledge of the /actual/ inner workings of being on a ship is slim to none #but that sliver includes me lmao #does this count as lore? #i'm gonna say it does #noelle lore #steddie #steddie hc #steve harrington #eddie munson #rockstar!eddie #sailor!steve #sailor!steve x rockstar!eddie

"I wish ao3 would let me-"

It probably does, you just gotta learn how to do it.

"I wanna see fics for only my opt"

Go to either fandom tag or your ships tag, (if you're doing fandom tag you have to add your ship in the 'relationship' section),go to fliters (mobile) or the right hand side (desktop), go to the 'search within results' area and put in otp:true just like that click 'sort and filter' And it'll pull up all fics with just your otp.

(EDIT: if you wanna do this but still have other parings try otp:false instead of otp:true)

"I wanna sort by _____ not 'Date updated'"

Go to 'filters' or right, theirs a drop down and you can change it to 'author' 'title' 'date posted' ect their are more options. Pick one, click 'sort and filter'

"I don't wanna see /reader"

Filter or Right, go to 'search within results' type in -/reader like that, click 'sort and filter'. No more /reader

"I don't want explicit works"

You know where we're going Right or filter. 'Exclude' section. 'Ratings' click the box that says 'explicit'

Obviously if people don't tag shit correctly it's not gonna work but yeah you just gotta learn how the tagging works. For better tutorials go to TikTok and search 'ao3 tutorials' you can do just about everything.

#ao3 #fanfic #like you can change 99% of the site to fit you. #i have ao3 link made into a icon on my phone that goes to a version of a fandom tag thats got all the ships and shit i dont like excluded #archive of our own #like the people who hate ao3s tagging system and the people who don't wanna learn ao3s tagging system is a circle #theirs a learning curve my friend and onece you have a bit of knowledge you can do anything #knowledge is power #fandom #fanfic readers #its 2am go be free use ao3 #you dont pop out the woomb with all knowledge you gotta learn sometime. same goes for this. go find a teacher (not me) to teach you. #you have leaned addition subtraction division grammer spelling and you can learn this too. go learn. #you can do dark mode. you can make the cite purple. you can add cows. you can change y/n to your name. you just gotta learn

not to start whacking the hornet’s nest but i think the most tragic part of ahsoka and anakin’s story together is that from the very first moment, it’s all based on a lie.

ahsoka meets anakin after aotc - he’s already committed an unjustifiable atrocity. he’s already slaughtered the tusken people, and as far as we know, ahsoka never finds out about that. and you know, that would completely and wildly screw up ahsoka’s perceptions of anakin

and i would go so far as to say it would screw with her image of anakin more than the vader reveal. because the vader reveal is like. oh shit your older brother/ best friend has turned into a monster and has committed genocide and is currently trying to kill you

but the tusken massacre reveal is like. oh shit your older brother who tucks you in bed when you’re sick and who makes you laugh so hard your ribs hurt has, for the entire time he’s loved you and you loved in return, been a murderer, and has actively been hiding a horrible, unjustifiable secret

the vader reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and remembers is, to her knowledge, gone forever. the tusken massacre reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and loves is based on a lie

#anakin skywalker #ahsoka tano #star wars the clone wars #the clone wars #not that the anakin ahsoka adores isn’t there. he is. but he’s also the same man as the desert killer. the same man as the jedi killer #one and the same. he loves her and he’s killed and he’ll love her until he kills her #I JUST THINK it would mess her up more than the vader reveal. i don’t know how she’d cope #how do you cope with the knowledge that (to you) all your good bits are from a killer. how do you reconcile your goodness with his #ahsoka is the best parts of anakin. its what sustains her during the fulcrum years. he lives on in her #how do you cope with that? #yooo if anyone is curious i HAVE posted the fic about this (:

The one thing they didn’t use from Vi’s LoL lore for her character in Arcane that I wish they had is the fact that she’s also a tech wiz. Or at least a highly competent tinkerer. Like, her gauntlets were originally something that she scavenged and retrofitted herself from a mining machine (which honestly makes more sense than Jayce designing them as mining devices).

But in Arcane we get no sense that Vi is a skilled mechanic. They probably dropped it because they were leaning hard into the trope of “brawny older sibling, brainy younger sibling,” but honestly, I would like it better if both sisters were smart engineers.

Maybe in season 2, since Jinx with the shimmer enhancement is now physically stronger than Vi, Vi will become more “brainy,” learning how to operate and enhance her gauntlets with engineering skill rather than just brute force.

#arcane #season 2 #speculation #vi #we got maybe a little bit of foreshadowing of this when vi immediately when to jayce’s books during the break in #like she seems to have an interest in knowledge #maybe this will be a part of every character becoming opposite of who they were in season 1

coming back to tcm practitioner!geto who does tui na massage and bodywork every time you come in bc why not.

practitioner!geto, who you never expected to be so pretty and almost soft spoken. he looks at you with kind eyes at every appointment, asks how you’ve been doing, and asks what you’re comfortable with for the day.

practitioner!geto whose hands are massive and warm. they’re soft, often so gentle and slow when he kneads and prods at your skin. it always makes your cheeks burn a little when he starts bodywork, but of course he remains professional.

practitioner!geto who’s almost more in tune with your body than you are, it seems. who catches even the slightest looks of discomfort on your face as he works, and about half the time he knows exactly where the pain is before he asks. but he asks anyways, his voice soft. “are you feeling discomfort in your stomach?” you mumble an approval, and a hand shifts there to soothe it gently.

practitioner!geto who quietly talks you through what he’s doing every once in a while. who encourages you to let your body and mind to unwind in his hands as he cradles your head and neck. who may or may not know what he’s doing when he says, “relax your neck. let me hold the weight of your head…. good girl, there you go….”

practitioner!geto who does the most work on your neck and lower back often because that’s what you need. some days, you’re thankful he saves the awkward part for last when he has you lift a leg and slides his hand under your hips, fingertips landing just above your tailbone to adjust your sacrum. he always asks if you’re comfortable, and what else should you say other than yes?

practitioner!geto who has to be aware of how your body responds when he’s that close with his hand between your legs, just above your ass, his face not terribly far from your thighs as his eyes fall shut once again. when you’re in thin cotton shorts and a tank, you think he can’t be oblivious to the way your cheeks get warm and blood rushes a bit in your body. he’s close enough that he could probably smell the arousal on you, and that thought only makes it worse.

practitioner!geto whose fingertips are gentle as he works on that delicate, sensitive area of your back. you settle back in to pushing every thought from your mind when he speaks, his voice warm and low. “that’s it, just relax….”

practitioner!geto who definitely does notice the way your body suddenly gets warmer right below his wrist. who could glimpse the damp heat at the core of your body if he tried, but of course he would never do that. who wills himself to ignore the way his body responds to yours in kind, pushing out thoughts of slipping his hand down just a little further.

practitioner!geto who may have thought about you one too many times when he’s home alone late at night, groaning into his hand, riddled with guilt that he’s imagined you underneath him. who almost knows his dreams of you are all he’ll ever get.

Conner is the only stable clone of Superman. Therefore the scientists over at Cadmus decide to clone him in the hopes that they'll have most success in their cloning.

They are indeed successful.... kinda. You see while they can produce more stable clones more often, seeing as these are clones of a clone, they're not that strong. They're all basically just slightly stronger than the average human. Except one clone who shows a lot of promise. Too bad he runs away before they can start training him. (They never expected the clone to prematurely wake up in the tank and escape).

That clone ends up becoming, you guessed it, Daniel Fenton. He doesn't know he's a clone and promptly forgets about his 5 minutes trapped in a strange facility as he adopts his new identity. Life goes on, he becomes a ghost, battles other ghosts and gets cloned by the local fruitloop. Enter Ellie. She is now the clone of a clone of clone. Cloneception if you will.

The reason she's constantly destabilizing is because she's so far removed from the original that her cells are physically degraded. Think of it like cells that have been divided for way too long and have become cancerous and/or tumorous. The ectoplasm in her blood just keeps healing her body at the same rate as the degradation but it's constantly needing to be replenished. If she wants to live a truly stable life she would need to get a DNA sample from the original.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #winter's tales #this started as a crackhead prompt fueled by sleep deprivation and slaphappy energy #then i tacked on a bit of angst #whoops #sorry ellie you must suffer #does my comparison make sense? #boy i sure hope so #i have lackluster knowledge of basic biology and research is for the weak so... #nobody tell my highschool biology teacher #he would be so disappointed

sunny also makes me insane bc like. little kids pick up on how others act around them so easily. and under all that bravado shes such an insecure kid and they want to come off as confident and only caring about money but they care so so much about having connections and of course they do. bc shes just a kid. she wants to come off as a cool kid who puts money and riches first but ultimately shes a daddys girl who just wants to be cared about

#something something little kids dont understand that what helps them the most is positive reassurance #so all kids like sunny are able to process is that being praised feels good #and being avoided feels bad (unless theyre taught that being feared is a good thing) #and so tubbo treating her like a little princess of course she loves him more than anyone else in the world #but then it makes it sting even more when she runs into situations like phil talking up em more than her #and tallulah being hesitant to befriend her #sunny doesnt have all the knowledge to understand that tallulahs paranoid/traumatized and sunnys just coming off- #-a bit strong #all she knows is tallulah doesnt seem to like her and phil seems to like empanada more #so of course thats going to sting. of course. and i feel her so much abt it. poor girl #mask mews #qsmp #sunny qsmp #sunnysideup qsmp
