I love the fun fact that cats think they're our moms and they're keeping us alive by bringing us dead mice and guarding us while we sleep because it means both me and my cat think we're fully responsible for the other's continued survival and we're both completely right I would not survive one day without my precious fluffy little bundle of love walking on my face while I'm asleep <33333

#this is not sarcasm #my cats are my babies and I am theirs #and that is how it should be

since padme is a normie and cant merge her consciouness with the force after death, i imagine anakin watching over her reincarnated forms through the millennia. alternately being fond and exasperated and amused at the infinite incarnations of the young girl he knew many eons ago.

when she finally reaches nirvana, although she can never join anakin & the others as an enlightened bodhisattva of the Force, he is at least there to guide her into her eternal bliss.

oneness with the force.

they look at one another, and padme (or the person who once was padme) just knows anakin has been there all along, watching over her like a guardian.

they smile, like old friends, both at peace.

the person who once was padme, before their consciousness fades, puts their hand to Anakin's ghostly face.

are you an angel? the person who was padme repeats Anakin's own words from centuries ago, with a small amused smile.

no, Anakin answers laughingly, then his eyes turn sincere: but there was still good in me, he responds, repeating Padme's words back, in infinite gratefulness.

and then the person who was padme, full of peace and happiness, looks away and forward to their rest.

Anakin holds their hand and leads them to the Light, feeling the presence join the Force in everlasting balance.

#anakin skywalker #padme amidala #anidala #(tagging bc its about them both as characters) #vader tried to get her back from death but it is enlightened anakin who knows she always exists in various incarnations #and though they will never be together as anakin and padme (and perhaps shouldnt have at all but oh glorious life and its doom and wonder) #he can always feel what she was in the matrix of the force #and she is her own #and he is his own #and that is how it should be

I'm in a Causal Program Analysis class and we're talking about correlation and proving causation and all of that and I keep thinking about Professor Strife's Two Rules of Science. What have you done. :p

HEE HEE HOO HOO

#yes let the mind worm infect you #all students in the research track can chant CORRELATION DOES NOT EQUAL CAUSATION #and that is how it should be #Professor Strife AU #ask #funny asks #written reply

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.

#myaa #everyones pushing so hard for the clicks and like #its nice you think you can make a difference by clicking #but you should understand how minimal the impact of that site is #i can understand if you literally cannot donate #but its frustrating to see ppl reposting the click link so many times without the link to ACTUALLY donate...

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.

#i just keep seeing more and more posts like that and it’s just. yes it is those things you’re right #but i hate that that’s how we have to get people to care #you shouldn’t have to use sjw buzzwords to get people to care #you should care because there are people dying by the thousands at israel’s hand #free palestine #greatest hits

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

#people will fr go ''god im such an ugly loser LOL i suck at everything i do and i should just kms“ #and then go “why does no one want to be around me” #maybe because your attitude sucks. maybe because i said 'those mean things you say about yourself arent true' #and you spent five minutes arguing with me about how im wrong. #00

really funny that every website is in an arms race to make itself as bad as possible and immediately someone makes a firefox extension to fix it

#its not a real solution obviously like they should work properly in the first place #but it shows how all these changes are not for the benefit of the user and are always unpopular

we need more dials and knobs and levers again. this world is lacking in dials and knobs and levers. it's one of our biggest issues.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

#My art #One Piece #Nico Robin #Sir Crocodile #Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD #According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went* #Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life #They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay #But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world #This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER #You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized #Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao #She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

Mongolian history class, 2022, start of the semester. We're having a discussion on animal slaughter, featuring the one Mongolian student in our school.

The student explains that he's slaughtered animals himself, and there are two ways of doing it that avoid the spilling of blood. For a small animal like a chicken, you reach up into the chest of the animal and sever the arteries. For a larger animal like a camel, there's a spot on the forehead that, when hit hard enough, causes the animal to die instantly.

While this discussion is going on, a couple of the students are sharing something back and forth on their phone

The professor calls this out, asking if what they're sharing is more interesting than Mongolian animal slaughter

The room is dead silent for a few seconds. The two students look at each other awkwardly.

Eventually, one of the students pipes up:

"Well, the queen of England just died."

And without missing a beat, another student:

"Did they hit her on the head like a camel?"

#genuinely i'm so glad this is how i learned the queen died #happy fucking (late) anniversary #felt i should share it it's just. perfect y'know #there is no queen of england

no fucking way

#sketches #comics #the far side #crocodiles #my art #i don’t know how to tag this. #also i should probably say. i tried to look into it further and i haven't seen hard hard evidence that they do this on purpose #personifying animals is tempting but ultimately i think it's just hot speculation atm. crocodilians are famously tough to research too #like the advantages may be a coincidence or just pure curiosity/play. which is also really cute...love those guys #sorry for the misinformation! light theory only afaik #comic
