Me fighting for Ben Solo until the day I die.

I’m going to start actively saving for my medical transition and since my ribs are becoming warped after six years of regular chest binding, I feel top surgery would likely be the best way to go for a starting line.

I’ve got like $5k in the bank but that’s also for car savings which is....lol bc epilepsy but Family Says I Need A Car (Even Though My License Is Basically Useless). So my starting savings for top will probably be like $1,500 I think. This is a $6,000+ surgery though and I’m paying off around $500 in medical debt still that I’ve been chipping away at for a few months, as well as getting ready to move so I’ll be paying rent again soon and that’ll definitely eat into whatever savings I’d have.

So basically what I’m saying is that I’ve got a new goal on my ko-fi, which is here. You’re all obviously not obligated to donate to me but here it is woo.

“Rules for Being a Girl”

“It starts before you can remember: you learn, as surely as you learn to walk and talk, the rules for being a girl. You are Princess. You are Daddy’s Little Girl. Are you ticklish? Give him a hug. You’re sweet, aren’t you? You’re a good little girl.

You don’t remember those early days, but here’s what you do remember: You remember ballet class, the way your tummy stretched your pink leotard and your parents fretted over some future eating disorder, and then you were trying tap, or soccer, or what about a musical instrument? You remember “We just want you to be happy!” and you remember you said you were happy because you knew that’s what they wanted to hear. How long have you been saying what everyone else wants to hear?

Time went on, and GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING! So speak up, I can’t hear you! But also: Manners, young lady. A boy is bothering you at school? Stand up for yourself! A boy is bothering you at school? He’s just trying to get your attention. Do you like sparkles and unicorns and everything pink? Oh that’s stupid now. Can you play in this game? Sorry, no girls allowed.

“ut a little color on your face. Shave your legs. Don’t wear too much makeup. Don’t wear short skirts. Don’t distract the boys by wearing bodysuits or spaghetti straps or knee socks. Don’t distract the boys by having a body. Don’t distract the boys.

Don’t be one of those girls who can’t eat pizza. You’re getting the milk shake too? Whoa. Have you gained weight? Don’t get so skinny your curves disappear. Don’t get so curvy you aren’t skinny. Don’t take up too much space. It’s just about your health.

Be funny, but don’t hog the spotlight. Be smart, but you have a lot to learn. Don’t be a doormat, but God, don’t be bossy. Be chill. Be easygoing. Act like one of the guys. Don’t actually act like one of the guys. Be a feminist. Support the sisterhood. Wait, are you, like, gay? Maybe kiss a girl if he’s watching though—that’s hot. Put on a show. Don’t even think about putting on a show, that’s nasty.

Don’t be easy. Don’t give it up. Don’t be a prude. Don’t be cold. Don’t put him in the friend zone. Don’t act desperate. Don’t let things go too far. “Don’t give him the wrong idea. Don’t blame him for trying. Don’t walk alone at night. But calm down! Don’t worry so much. Smile!

Remember, girl: It’s the best time in the history of the world to be you. You can do anything! You can do everything! You can be whatever you want to be!

Just as long as you follow the rules.”

how fucking arrogant can you be to think any eugenics program could ever weed out “fascist genetics”. even if the “dark triad” was a reliable precursor to fascist ideology and even if “dark triad traits” could be reliably linked to genotype (they aren’t and they can’t be), how fucking far to jupiter are you if you think you can remove it from a population of seven billion, let alone in some “anarchist” manner? how do you programmatically sterilize anyone in an “anarchist” manner?

So a long time ago I noticed something hilarious about the Sith and their underlings, and I feel like I have to share it again. 

They all…

… have really…

… really…

… shitty hair. 

Or more exactly, they’re all bald as kriff with the exception of Chancellor Palpatine (an oversight corrected as soon as he turns into the full-on corrupted, please-throw-it-in-the-trash Emperor Sidious) and Count Dooku, who has a receding hairline and a glorious beard but was always the classiest of those idiots anyway.

Time to explore the terrible side-effects of the Dark Side. 

The Grand Inquisitor, the Seventh Sister, the Fifth Brother? None of these jerks have hair. It’s partly due to species, that’s true, but the pattern is too funny.

The Eighth Brother? Is a ninja turtle according to his concept art, so I’d bet he doesn’t have hair either. 

Asajj Ventress used to have hair back when she was a Jedi and doesn’t anymore. See the Dark Side in action, peeps! 

These two asses? Never had hair, not even eyebrows. Savage is even missing a horn! 

Now we know that Zabraks can have hair:

(Look, it’s Eeth Koth, a real badass and a sweetheart! Say hi to Eeth!)

But the Dark Side apparently bred it out of the Nightbrothers.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven hairless Zabraks. And speaking of breeding Nightbrothers…

Is it really messed up hair? Is it a headdress? I don’t know, and neither do the animators apparently. Btw, Mother Talzin was inspired by Darth Maul’s absolutely nightmarish concept art that I won’t feature here because this blog is child-friendly - and let me tell you, that was some karked up hair. 

Okay, so we have Sidious, Vader (who, let’s not forget, used to have some truly magnificent hair back in his non-evil days), Dooku, the Inquisitorius, Darth Maul, Savage Opress, Asajj Ventress, Mother Talzin.. Who are we missing? 

Ah, yes.

The Incarnation of the Dark Side itself, aka The Son, aka The Fanged God. (His sister the Light has gorgeous glowing hair, btw, and their dad has one truly epic beard.)

Darth Plagueis the Bald.

… This… thing. Snoke. Failed-clone-whatever. Sith abomination. Baldy. 

And Grievous! That bastard doesn’t even have the Force, so I’m assuming it’s just karma at this point. And don’t give me that “he’s a cyborg” banthacrap, he used to be a Kaleesh! And Kaleesh can have hair! 

But wait, there’s more.

Just kidding, don’t be mean to Jar Jar, he’s a sweet guy. (The Disappeared is a great arc, fight me!)

Okay here’s the real knee-slapper. 

Innocent baby finds evil red thing. 

Oh no it’s evil.

Ezra Bridger, now with 75% less hair. 

Seriously, the Dark Side will corrupt your body and make you ugly inside and out. (Not that Ezra was ever ugly. I love your haircut, baby, it’s okay.) People will go “kill it! kill it with fire!!!” 

And, well…

(See Anakin? That’s what you get for being a mass-murdering Sith. No more glorious hair for you.)

Now, I know there exist one exception to the Rule of Shitty Hair. 

(The shitty part is still debatable, granted.) Personally, I choose to believe it’d have fallen out sooner or later. In the meantime, he was just an exceptionally crappy Dark Sider. (Seriously, have you seen how he fights? He hacks at stuff! He’s all “hit it till it dies”! That’s not saberwork! Dooku would hand him his skinny ass with two hands behind his back. Even Ventress would take him!)

Now, remember. All Dark Siders have terrible hair, but not all people with terrible (or absent) hair are Dark Siders. If I see anyone include Mace, Plo, Kit, Yoda or any hair-lacking Jedi here, we’re going to have words. Comics and video games also don’t count. 

… Although Trilla Suduri (Second Sister)’s hair is a mess, and Darth Momin might have had hair but he’s still the most disgusting thing to ever come out of the Dark Side by a large margin. You’ll also note that the entire Separatist Council is made of bald people, that their army is non-organic and thus bald by default, and that Sly Moore and Mas Amedda (Palpatine’s aide and Vice-Chancellor) are both bald as well, and happen to be huge pricks. 

Rise of the Hair Losers. 

It does explain why Vader, Maul, Grievous, Dooku, Ventress and Sidious were all obsessed with Obi-Wan for what amounts to about like 70 years combined.

… Jealous twats.

I'm bisexual, which means I love every single woman to ever exist and a total of ten (10) men, who live in another country, are famous and could be my dad.
