There is no secret or some hidden knowledge that Jedi were created under the heavy influence of Japanese samurai culture. Space warriors, servants of the government and state. And I had a thought “What if make designs more eastern influenced and still GFFA ’ There is result.

I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on “quips”. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. That’s all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. It’s all quips. Every single line. And it’s a masterpiece.

Movies suck when people don’t care about the art they’re making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isn’t that funny dialogue exists.

schrödinger's jedi consular

I have problems with the Jedi Consular – my Jedi Consular to be specific.

Because I’m fascinated by the idea of Act 1 as a Start of Darkness, but not one where they fall to the Dark Side of the Force. Rather, the Consular as someone who grows more distant from and dismissive of the Force-blind as they struggle with a situation people outside the Order don’t have the context to understand, someone who asks for help from the Council is told they can manage by themself and internalises that as a universal truth, someone who clings to the Code more rigidly because it is the only support they have, someone who faces Lord Vivicar severely weakened by holding all of the other shields but casts the ritual one last time knowing it might kill them because the life a Jedi is sacrifice – and has their faith in the Force rewarded when they survive.

Someone who is hardened by their trials even as they pass them. Someone who takes the high standards and expectations placed on them and applies them to everyone else. Because if you are expected to sacrifice yourself for the greater good isn’t that because sacrifice is a virtue that all should practice? Because if the Jedi Council can weigh your single life against the many lives of the possessed Jedi, shouldn’t you apply that utilitarianism in your own decision making?

But I love the Consular who meets Qyzen Fess, so different to anyone they’ve met before, and learns from the teaching holograms on Tython about the strange early period of the Jedi Order they had been left to assume had always been much the same as it had been when they were raised in it. Who leaves the Prologue newly aware of the bubble they grew up in and determined to stab it with as many pins as they can find.

Someone who will try any food including the ones they really shouldn’t, because what were they taught to metabolise poison for if not this? Someone who painstakingly learns the art of making small talk with strangers at spaceports because the departure lounges are filled with people from planets they only know as names on a star map living lives they’ve never dreamed of. Someone honest and earnest who asks the wrong questions at the right times and was the best/worst person the Jedi Council could have picked as a political liaison. Someone who jumps into the teachings of the Voss Mystics face first and drives the Council nuts because instead of denouncing the Sith and the Dark Side to the Mystics they’re incorporating Voss notions of the Force as grey into their own practice.

Obviously the solution is to have two Consulars. They can be foils for each other! It’s divvying up the Class Story which is the trouble.

The second Consular does the Prologue and is Yuon Par’s Padawan, but Yuon being struck down by Terrak Morrhage’s curse plague is the bridge into Act 1. If her old Padawan wasn’t trying to save her by learning the ritual from the Noetikon then going on to use that skill when the crisis spread, where were they? Why were they, rather than the first Consular who proved themself in Act 1 earning the title of Barsen’thor, assigned to the post with the Rift Alliance? Especially since I assume the title of Barsen’thor was part of the reason the Consular was put forward to be the Rift Alliance’s envoy? It makes sense that the first Consular who did Act 1 be called in for the mess with the Children of the Emperor but then how does the second Consular get to Voss? Are both Consulars doing Act 3? It’s like a ball of string I can’t cut through without making a dozen new loose ends.

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
