I have this headcanon that Padmé purposely flirts with Anakin in front of OW and Yoda sometimes because she loves the reaction she gets out from him, watching him stumble over some of his words and completely blanking because she blew him a kiss.

Also love the idea of Padmé likes teasing Anakin about how much other male senators try to woo her because she loves seeing him get so possessive over her and watch him play at the “jealous husband™️” game.

like. this is just not up for discussion anymore. a LOT of gentiles, whether they realize it or not, and whether they would like to admit it or not, are using “zionists” to mean “jews.” particularly ashkenazi jews. this is happening. it has been happening for decades. if you say it’s not, you are literally just wrong. you don’t get to use repurposed soviet-era antisemitism and then try to gaslight us as if you just saying “i’m not antisemitic, i don’t mean jews” magically absolves you from being blatantly antisemitic and using “zionists” as a euphemism for “jews.”

This is the first time I've reblogged something that is clearly from jumblr. I'm a little nervous, but here goes.

Israel will never be responsible for antisemitism unless in like a surprise turn of events they start bringing in laws which harms jews.

If you think that Israel's existence or actions gives reason for people to be antisemitic then that is a you issue for justifying antisemtism, not Israel's issue.

• Fidgeting and stuttering do NOT always indicate that someone is nervous.

• Avoiding eye contact does NOT always mean someone is lying.

• Having a hard time focusing does NOT always mean someone is lazy.

• Carrying around a stuffed animal or blanket does NOT make someone childish.

• Poor motor skills is NOT a direct indication of intelligence.

Not everyone fits into your box. Deal with it.

Random story thought: What if a fantasy story where there's humans and elves, who are less like different nationalities and/or "human, but in a different font", but more like the difference between dogs and wolves? Like they resemble humans, but are very, very clearly not human. And half-elves, like wolfdogs, are known to be theoretically possible, but so improbable and rare that they might as well be a myth. Like everybody's school had that one kid who loves lying for attention who keeps insisting that they actually know somebody who's a real half-elf for real.

And in the extremely rare case where their friend of a friend who's "totally actually a real half-elf" even exists at all, 99 times out of 100, the aforementioned suspected hybrid is just a 100% full human who's unusually tall, beautiful and autistic. Something that can definitely fool someone who's never seen a real half-elf, and is willing to believe that this friend's mom actually for real fucked an elf (instead of getting hunted for sport, and possibly eaten, which is the more likely outcome of encountering elves in the wild). But it's almost always just a full human with vaguely 'elvish' features.

But once in a blue moon, there actually is a real half-elf, and once you've seen one, you won't mistake a full human for one of them again. They're gangly, not just tall but long-limbed in a way that humans are not, their speech is strangely composed as if they learned their first language as a second language, and their eyes are piercing, wild, inhuman eyes, with a gaze full of strange instinctive wisdom that humans were never meant to know. Secret elvish thoughts that even they, personally, wish they didn't have.

And it sinks in to you that elves, that are so alien to you, would also find this poor creature just as strange and unsettling as you do.

PSA to "autism moms", especially the one that talked to me at work today! Just because your child is nonverbal does not mean that they cannot hear and understand you! Just because your child does not respond with words does not mean they do not know you are dehumanizing them and treating them like a badge to get pity with! Your HSN child is not your prize-winning dog or a charity case! They are a human being and deserving of respect.

Also, specifically to the one that talked to me today. Why on earth did me having a cane (and you laughing at me when I said yes I in fact do legitimately need it) constitute you dragging your nonverbal child over to tell me that you're his caretaker? I'd say I don't care, but I do because I hope they aren't stuck with you as a caregiver for much longer. You clearly have no respect for them. Don't tell me "I don't act like they aren't there, what?" when I just watched you do it. You just dragged them over and said "this is my child, they need me to help them at all times" without even looking at the (adult) child, much less asking for their permission to say anything about them. Then when I try to acknowledge their existence (and they respond by looking at me!) you say they're nonverbal in a pitying tone, as if nonverbal means vegetable. You are the pitiful one here.

For all of you lovers of the whump trope “living weapon learns to be a person after a war/significant injury” may I suggest Violet Evergarden on Netflix. Not only is it really good, it’s absolutely gorgeous as well

carmen switching between 18 languages in one hour because her brain is tired (she is speaking japanese with the syntax of german. everyone is horrified). bonus points if terminology/synonym hell occurs (pop/soda/coke & fries/chips & elevator/lift)

nobody understands her and it doesnt matter anymore. she wants dŵr? get out the translator and hope you recognize what language shes speaking and how to spell it.

oh now its 水? cry about it and translate.

Had a very fun memory of when I was a kid and used plastic straws as a chewing stim toy before we even knew i was autistic, we just thought it was a good adhd focus thing since it worked.

All the teachers knew and understood why I had the straw and never yelled at me for it, and the other kids had no idea why but they just knew, “oh he needs that straw” and didn’t question it.

One day in second grade, we had a sub. She was new to the school and as she was giving us the activity while we sat on the floor (i dont remember the activity just that it was a floor activity) she saw my straw and went, “dont chew on things like that!” And scolded me in front of the class, taking my straw from me.

I of course didn’t do anything cause she was an authority figure and I couldn’t break the rule of defying authority figures so i just sat in disappointment, immediately feeling distressed cause my stim toy was taken from me.

The class was dead silent until one of them went, “miss- he needs that actually.” And then another one piped up, “yeah! He has one every day! It’s important he chews on it!”

None of them understood WHY i had it, but they respected that it was important

I got my straw back :3 and that was the best memory of accommodation from my classmates ive ever known

As a Jedi, Ahsoka wore the colors of the Republic.

After leaving the Jedi Order, Ahsoka wore the colors of the 501st (even her Mandalorian armor matched).

The idea jumped into my head and I had to create it.

[Image ID: A meme with a picture of Jabba the Hutt with his hands up. It has been photoshopped so that he had slices of pizza in his hands. It then has the Pizza Hut logo with their slogan "no one out pizzas the hut", but photoshopped so that "hut" is spelled with two "t"s /EndID]
