Troy Barnes, Jeff winger, And Abed nadir are better asshole protagonists who are likable, have character development, fantastic autistic representation and great Lgbt representation than Santana Lopez , Finn Hudson, and Brittany Pierce.

this is probably forty years late, but I think it would have been absolutely hilarious if darth vader and anakin skywalker were different people, and darth vader was in love with anakin.

like, anakin is still married to padme and they have their kids, but vader and him have this sexual tension with real love and it's even more fucked up than how it was with obi-wan. with obi-wan it’s like, daddy issues with a splotch of ‘have i made you proud? i’ll keep trying if i suck.’ these two are like, our souls smolder together in the same flame, our bond will not fail with time's treacherous plans, and also refuse to talk to each other because one of them ate the other's space sandwich.  vader is just like, obvious as hell and makes an effort to bridal carry anakin at every possible chance. there has to be bridal carrys; anakin wears a wedding gown in one of them. he writes angsty love poetry that compares his love to the burning of stars and the treacherous swell of the sea and the unrelenting chains of the desert and tells people with 100%  seriousness that he’ll cut someone’s throat and drip blood over their corpse and himself if it pleases anakin. anakin believes this is normal. 

vader is just like, what do you mean it’s not normal to cling to your best friend and tell him his lips are beautiful. it’s totally fine to tell your best friend that you want him as your wife and do his space AP Lit homework cuz he’s shit at anything not related to calculus. he cries and refuses to come out his room when anakin is kidnapped. he goes on a rampage, comes back covered in blood and anakin coos and brings warm blankets for his sweet boy.

vader is a literature nerd in this universe, and he loves a STEM child. it’s enemies to lovers.

obi-wan in this universe is just like, old man who drinks tea and tells everyone that this is a bad idea and no one listens to him. he gets to have his i-told-you-so moment on padme's funeral and its the only piece of vindication that he gets in the entire trilogy. he is satisfied.

like, vader and anakin grow up together and they both have this weirdly layered bond of gayness and friendship. they both get assigned to guard the senator, and then vader realizes he's in love after third wheeling for three days. anakin is head over heels, and marries padme since she’s the only one he’s met that’s as crazy as vader and he decides that he needs more people like him in his life.  vader spends the rest of clone wars being benignly jealous and cooking up more and more ridiculous schemes to confess his love. at one point space koalas are involved and anakin has been dumped in more roses than he can count. he now constantly smells like roses and troopers hang around him to avoid army stonk. anakin just being all stupid and like ' wow, you are such a nice friend.' the clone army all knows and are dying of laughter. (it turns really sad once they realize that vader really does love him, and he is aware that he'll never really be loved back. he is trying to get over it, but is failing really really badly)

padme and vader hate each other; vader has a cloth voodoo padme doll with a red dress and terrifying white makeup that he regularly sticks pins into because sticking pins into the real padme would make anakin sad, and padme uses an ouija board to attempt to send malevolent spirits to vader on his starship without telling anakin. anakin thinks that they both have a 'difficult, but loving relationship' kind of like him and vader. the irony is lost on him.

padme is lowkey insane, and can and will strangle you in a parking lot if you look at her wrong. she is a space atheist and she and vader argue about whether the Force is real, because she is a lady of science and you can’t make me join your religion, vader. she really does love anakin, but also isn’t a white feminist in this, and publicly disagrees with the jedi and constantly opposes the clones on human rights basis. it causes a bit of strife. vader agrees, but would rather ‘strangle himself with her fancy ass scarf’ than tell her. anakin is traumatized, and constantly downplays his issues, which is why he can’t recognize the clones’ problems. 

anakin finds out that padme’s birth control failed, and is planning on leaving the senate. anakin begins to get dreams of padme dying, and confides in vader. vader attempts to help, but their plan gets them caught by the jedi council, and anakin is expelled. vader swears revenge and keeps looking; he begins to obsess over cheating death and turns to sidious for help. he tells him that if he murders a bunch of kids, he'll be able to use their souls to keep padme and anakin's kids alive along with padme. vader decides that it is worth the effort for anakin.

anakin has obvious objections, and has this talk with padme on how he was going to try to bring vader back from the darkside. padme thinks it's a stupid idea, but agrees to help him. anakin goes to mustafar and then meets vader whose unhinged and off his rocker.

drunk on the dark side, vader confesses to anakin and offers to rule the galaxy with him and padme. anakin refuses, and vader gets mad. obi-wan is here too for some reason, and then they all get into an argument where someone skewers anakin. the fight on mustafar ends with vader screaming at anakin's corpse and going "you swore that you loved me, and you always chose her. you liar!" padme comes from the ship, and she and vader have a tug of war with anakin's corpse which ends with him force choking her. (obi-wan leaves with padme who is distraught and trying to get her husband's body back from vader) vader then has a full on breakdown where he tries to beat anakin back to life and is scream sobbing while hugging anakin's corpse as he catches on fire because he's standing too close to the lava and that's how palpatine finds them.

he's sealed in a metal can and basically terrorizes the galaxy so he can inflict his misery on the world. tragedy at the greatest level. padme names vader as like, godfather to her two kids and then dies. nobody knows why she does this, and bail wonders if she had amnesia and decides not to tell her that the dude is a murderer who killed her husband and prayed for three years that her marriage would end in a lavender divorce. (she names vader godfather as a last promise to anakin)

vader is sad upon finding that padme is dead, and takes out all of the pins in the padme doll, and begs it to make padme come back. it does not work.

i have no idea how luke goes into this, but it would probably end with the 'obi-wan killed your dad' plot twist where anakin tries to stop obi-wan from killing vader and then obi-wan impales him on accident or something. it's stupid as fuck, but i can't think of a better solution.

anyway luke saves his gay godfather who tells him not to be obsessively possessive of others like he was to his dad, and tells him to use his ship to escape. he dies while killing the emperor to save luke, and then luke burns his body. after the funeral, he opens the cockpit and finds a dull black box in one compartment. he finds the padme doll with ominous pin stabs, and a picture of his dad and mom with conspicuous horns erased, and angelic wings drawn over it crudely. he also finds a picture of vader, his father and obi-wan with ahsoka with the huttese words 'my love, my father, my child' written on the back. luke is a bit weirded out, but he appreciates it.

i don't know why i wrote this.

Thinking about F1nnster or whatever his name is and how his fans wont stop insisting that hes an egg/making egg cracking jokes and like

Do they not realize that they are themselves the problem. I’m trying to find a way to describe it hold on—

Like when it comes to gender constraints they’d rather insist that he MUST be closeted trans rather than a cis man simply wearing “womens” clothing. Because apparently, expressing ones gender is only okay if the clothing fits the assigned gender of said clothes.

Does this make sense

#like #let him be a cis man who dresses this way #without insisting he must actually be trans #explain to me #why he can not simply be a man in nontraditionally masculinity clothes? #without upholding gendered clothes or the gender binary #ramblings

Wait. Did I miss out on something?

Why are people acting like Roy is suddenly a good guy? Like he’s literally admitted to sticking his son in a personalized hell. He’s always stalking his son but he’s never actually there for him. It gets to the point that his son almost dies because of his ‘corrections’.

Like; *spoilers* he didn’t come in there to save Doi. He literally knocks him out of the way because he wants the chicken.

Okay so there is something that has been bugging me lately and has been pissing me off more and more lately and i need someone to explain it to me like I'm five because I don't get it.

So my mother is buddhist and she has been trying to subtly get me to be buddhist since i was a toddler and i have never been interested in it or any more common beliefs (ive always had more interest in more pagan beliefs) : but what is bugging me about buddhism specifically is a very specific part of their idea of karma. Now i understand if you do something in your "current" life and it has an effect on you or your life in the future, what I'm not understanding is; Why do they believe that what "you" did in "your past life" which is to say what someone else in the past did also ends up effecting "the next life" or more accurately you even though you as you are don't remember what "the past life"/other person did and thus can't really learn anything from it, especially when it comes to the negative things? I say especially the negative things because whenever i would complain to my mother about a bully or some asshole at work looking for comfort she would go "oh thats just your past life karma, your past life did something so you deserve it" in semi-different words but when something good happened its maybe just "oh good job" if anything (for reference im never genuinely an asshole to someone unless they start it and they deserve it, and the only time i could be considered to have bullied someone was a so-called "friend" tricked me into it but because I genuinely didn't understand what she was trying to get me to do i just offered outfit ideas that i thought would be helpful and stopped and genuinely asked what was wrong when i saw the person my so-called "friend" was picking on was upset and was bamboozled when i finally realized and stopped hanging out with them) and it kind of reminds me of the time when my older sister stole money out of my mothers purse but my mother blamed me because i was the one who happened to be in the room when she discovered the money was missing. It feels exactly like someone else did something bad but I'm the one who is taking the blame and receiving punishment for something I didn't do or know anything about and couldn't have done anything about. And supposedly I'm supposed to learn something from it, but how tf am i supposed to learn anything? Like if this is the consequence of something "my past life"/someone else did why wasn't it dealt with then? To quote Nny from the johnny the homicidal maniac comics by jhonan vasquese: Its like getting the answer to a question i dont remember even asking. Especially since I'm someone who constantly over thinks and frequently uses my common sense (though I'll admit i need to work on social cues) and i realize that every choice has consequence sometimes good, sometimes bad, often times both. I don't need to be taught "hey don't hurt people because it's wrong and you wouldn't like it if it were the other way around and it will most likely come back to bite you in the future" because to me its obvious.

Sorry for the rant but its been bugging me for an eternity. So for the general question; how is someone supposed to learn from the karma brought on them by the "past life" they don't even remember? Please explain it to me like im five if you actually have answers because im not even kidding this has been annoying me for so long.
