making this post just to pin it. i’m part of an OSDD system and i’m not the host anymore, but this is still technically our main because tumblr doesnt let you change that, which means this is where likes and replies come from
the host is @cognito-ergo-hazard

I said this before but an election day reminder: people who claim that if Biden is elected some vague group of “centrists” or “liberals” will go back to pretending everything is fine and drop any advocacy are really showing both their ignorance of liberal and left-leaning advocacy organizations and also making it very obvious they were apolitical or even right-leaning until 2016
and also idk, it’s been 4 years of Trump, literally hundreds of thousands are dead due to government inaction on the pandemic in addition to other deaths from family separation policies and hate crimes, waiting for the revolution is quite literally slower than just voting for someone who is better

i could never be a doctor aboard a starship bc the hippocratic oath requires you to “do no harm” but if the captain approached me saying we’re stuck in 1968 i’d start swinging no questions asked
McCoy vs Kirk
nah, Crusher vs Riker

paladin pronounced like paula deen
i did a character like this once! his name was paul, from the village of deen, and he was a member of the Pahl Adien, an order of paladins devoted to hestia. he was a goblin

every horror writer in history wanted what the 19th floor subplot in the Wayside School books had
i think the lovecraft comparisons might have something to do with the credits of every episode talking about how commonplace books does lovecraft stuff

i have been thinking and plotting and thinking and i dont think vesper is enough of a character On Her Own, i think in my (eventual) scifi worldbuild pt. 2 (the non-fool’s gold side of things), seven is charade’s twin. which means i need to overhaul things abt both of them to make more of them. Fit
not a question but atton and vector Need™ to recognize each other and have a spider-man pointing meme moment while the sisters look at each other and realize they both fell for sith-backstory wifeguys

the art of. using periods incorrectly to fine tune line delivery
a lot of people in the notes are pointing out that they started doing this bc you cant use commas in the tags and it spread from there and im so obsessed w this. the medium is the message the sign manipulates the signal etc. the way that tumblr tags were never intended to be used the way they are and what started as a workaround for the limitations of a medium not designed to be used the way it was grew past just replacing commas to become something semiotically additive, popularizing a new kind of pause that doesn’t just contain information about length but an indescribable sort of. flavor? u know. yeah idk i just love the way language has responded to its new applications in a digital/instant communication/globalized everyone-is-connected-world etc and the magnitude! and direction! with which its vectors shift like cephalopod tentacles changing colors !!

obi-wan is my favorite character in anything ever because the cosmic forces that control the universe literally have it in for him specifically and this is something thats flat out stated on multiple occasions and literally everyone knows including obi-wan himself but he just keeps on sadly careening from one disaster to another as everyone he cares about dies in increasingly horrible and tragic ways while wisecracking every 5 minutes like it’s going out of style and somehow managing to become the sluttiest magic monk in the galaxy to cope. icon.
Obi-wan, covered in his own blood, laying on the ground: maybe, if i lay very still, the force won’t see me, for five minutes.
#wait WHAT is that why bad things CONSTANTLY happen to him at all times? #I thought he was just the writers’ favorite whumpee
i mean the force is the plot so that’s basically the same thing
