Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.

Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

#sheev probably fucked somebody on the THRONE #what else was he doing? lounging around the jedi temple and giggling to himself? subjecting vader to awful medical procedures for fun? #he has people to rule the galaxy with an iron fist dude is fully living his best life watching operas and doing lil sith research projects #i'm sorry i just find this SO funny. literally what is the point of the cloning shit except the creators nervously wringing their hands #and assuring us that we don't have to contemplate the evil toad man/walking corpse in bed #COMMIT TO THE BIT COWARDS #obvs i'm being a bit facetious but i'm also not #star wars #palpatine #my posts #also #on writing

i’m like if you took a tired girl and then made her sleepy

#there has been one (1) time i’ve felt well rested in the past decade #i wish that was me being facetious #or being silly goofy using hyperbolic language #but alas #i’m tired and sleep all the time

I have small headcanon that if Chrome was written into a Daily Life Arc, one of her running gags would be that if you got her to wear a uniform or something that associates her to an event or person, she will unquestioningly follow whatever is going on. I have more sketch ideas like this, I will post soon.

#khr #chrome dokuro #fanart #i pin #khr mammon #superbi squalo #katekyo hitman reborn #khr fon #i also think its funny that Fon is kind of too positive and doesnt realize hes being facetious #Chrome probably doesnt mind his opinions at illusions cause the criticism is actually not that bad but out of respect for mammon #she'd avoid him #can you believe i drew Squalo later because i needed someone to hold mammon back lol

the gap between tmbg wiki song interpretations and the band's inspirations behind writing them is always funny. bc the interpretations inevitably bring up how the song is actually about an unflinching reflection of someone's shattered psyche as they grapple with their own mind and they're very depressed and dead the whole time also, and then you read up on the song's production, and it's like, "I had a bad dream :("

#tmbg #I'm being facetious here mostly. that doesn't mean the example song ''where your eyes don't go'' doesn't have anything deeper to say #it's one of my top favourites for a reason I think it's a gorgeously outlined description of the subconscious and unconscious state #but I like how the process of it seems to be #wow that dream I had as a teenager was so creepy. I'm gonna make a song about how creepy it was.

watching cleo ask beef questions for the third degree and. it is VERY funny to me that they're joking about "why would the aliens want me?" "for my knowledge of tcg" given that i am fairly certain that's the plot of zexal,

#OKAY TO BE FAIR. THIS IS BEING FACETIOUS ABOUT THE ACTUAL PLOT OF THAT SHOW. #however the aliens ALSO play tcg in. gx. so really.

What’s ur game of the year

Unironically Lies of P, but I also haven't played many new games this year. I have no interest in Baldurs Gate 3. I don't like elf games.

I have done the calculations, and it would take approximately 180,081,125,621 Driftblims to lift the great crater of paldea and push it somewhere else. (I actually did both math and physics to calculate that number. I did not pull it from nowhere. If you want proof that is the actual calculation, I have the steps)

okay but it is a crater. it is empty air by definition. it is the LACK of material there. i could lift the great crater of paldea with 0 drifblim

#pokemon #unreality #pkmn irl #i am being facetious #also i want to see this number crunching

I’ve only ever interacted with you before by (obsessively) liking your fics so forgive this being so random but I feel like part of the reason people are more okay with artists charging for their work over writers (and I think everyone should get paid for it tbh) is the perceived accessibly of writing skills over drawing skills. Like I don’t think it’s malicious but I feel like a lot of people at least subconsciously look at fanfiction and think “I could do that, I have Microsoft word and can physically type” meanwhile they look at art and think like “I wouldn’t even know where to start to get there” not realizing that it would take probably the same amount of work and time to get as good at writing as Umiko is at drawing (is drawing even the right word lol idk)

Like I think it’s subconscious right now but if a writer did pay wall their fics it would almost immediately become something they would say to the writer like “why would I pay for this when I can do it myself”

Fwiw, from a customer service rep making $16 an hour, if I could give you $900k a year I would, if for no other reason than you’ve given me terrible Soap brain worms (I was so blind, but now I See™️) (also just to be clear I, in no way, think learning to write is just easy, just that easy access to the tools to do it with make it seem like it must be and thus people undervalue it as a skill in pretty much all areas of life but for this purpose, especially in fandom spaces)

no but you're like 100% right. when people ask me for tips and tricks to get better at writing, i try to be super encouraging and tell people like "you can do it too!!!" because i like making people believe in their own abilities, but it is an incredibly hard thing to do. i think i undersell how hard writing is. but you're so right, i think subconsciously most people think it's not as challenging as creating art is. i completely get your point and agree.

#this isn't specific to writing btw i think there are lots of jobs that people look at and go “i could do that” #when in truth no they could fucking not lmao #this also goes for any customer service job like im not being facetious i think customer service ppl work harder than CEOs

You sound like someone who would get offended if a dog doesn't like them

Wrong. I get offended if a *cat* doesn't like me. A dog woofed at me the other day and I was so brave about it.

#are you being facetious or are you actually coming at me for saying dogs dont have magical good people sensing powers #because a nonzero number of dogs Ive personally met will scream bloody murder at you for the crime of being tall or wearing a hat

people that arent willing to get through the entire chimera ant arc are weakhearted. if you're gonna get into Long Shonen commit, damn it. togashi spending his life drawing hunter x hunter and you wont even give him twentysometing hours of your time to enjoy one of his most satisfying emotional payoffs? people like u are the reason we have 8 episode seasons of television now. no attention span. no love for watching your protagonist enter a slow burn death spiral. no love for Ant Chess.

#i know people like that are not actually the reason we have 8 ep seasons of tv. i am being facetious
