Hot Star Wars sequel take, except I’ve said this before so it isn’t; I wish they’d left my childhood heroes their happy ending and leapt forward 200-500 years.
My original thought was the Jedi are now the dogmatic Force Sensitive guardians of the corrupt Skywalker Imperial line ruling from a lushly terraformed Tatooine, when an evil from the original trilogy past re-emerges to threaten all.
i will not fear, fear is the mind killer only the very strong ones travel this deep, Diane
two thumpers are planted. the worm may not surface for the first, he will rise for the second. but remember, when the worm approaches you must be utterly still and close enough to plant the hook firmly under a ring segment. the wom will turn to lift this exposed area as far from the abrasive sand as possible and it will take you with it to the top. fo not get too close, as he approaches the sand will engulf you. wait till the head of the worm passes then go, quickly. #mmmm #ShaiHulud
filk, food, caps, Radiohead
when you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you made me want danish
or maybe some pie
or eggs over easy
with crispy fried browns
I'm thinking of breakfast
I want some breakfast
*waves lighter in air*
BUT I'M STILL ON SHIFT
I'M SO HUNGRY
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOIN' HERE
I DON'T BELONG HERE
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
Or biscuits with gravy
Or a cinnamon roll
I’m now realizing that this unusually ugly bit of racism I grew up around? was basically a horrible bit of classism *phrased* as a race thing, just a really classic example of what King talks about at the beginning of “How Long Not Long,” with rich fucks being able to completely sabotage unity among poor people.
Image, fantasy creatures, eye contact
#drawing - the centaur is from earlier, and Harkon Lukas (from Ravenloft, canonically though he’s a violinist I think?) from today. Not fantastic but drawing past an art block (lots of earlier unfinished stuff not shown).
This morning’s weird thought in between customers;
Stuff which definitely aren’t terrestrial animals but are much more the status of commonly known mythology exist as Otherkin types (fictivekin, vampires, unicorns). The pre-Ostrom view of theropods and JW’s take on dromaeosaurs aren’t accurate but are huge enough to be big mythical archetypes, so could there be out there people whose kin type is, f’rex, “Jurassic Park scaled ‘raptor” rather than “actual literal manaraptoran”?
mh journaling
it's just amazing how many things which upset me no end either don't persist for that long, or they're not really crucial, but childhood messages persist;
it's quite possible the stuff that upset me as a kid wasn't really that big either, but when I was small I didn't know that my every possible mistake or display of crankiness *wasn''t* going to become some huge screaming tirade about how worthless or stupid I was, or hours, days of ridicule. And I didn't have a distinctly long life telling me that whatever disaster I'd run into *wasn't* the rest of my then-very short life.
This of course is complicated by how I didn't know that I *didn't* deserve the mistreatment. (At least I'm *probably* past that set of assumptions.)
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
