Am I the asshole for setting the thermostat to 70° and telling my roommate to stop changing it?

Emojis to find my ask: 🥶🌡️

I (he/him) have been living with 5 roommates including J (they/he) and my best friend M (he/him). the entire time we've lived together there has been no problem with the thermostat until J blew up at my best friend, M, over something small and unrelated. this made me, M, and M's boyfriend strongly dislike them. I didn't get involved and haven't said anything to them since this happened.

In the house we live in the downstairs gets incredibly cold (my room is sometimes 64° even with the thermostat set to 70°) while the upstairs gets really hot. I'm one of 2 people who lives downstairs and I'm the only one who's currently here (the person I share a room with is away for winter break). I have a chronic fever caused by my autoimmune disease that makes me very cold. I have to live downstairs because I use a wheelchair so swapping rooms is not an option. In the past, the people who lived upstairs would open the window to let the heat out of their rooms. There was never a problem with the thermostat.

Here's where the problem starts: yesterday I found myself shivering in my room despite being under 10 blankets in bed. I went to check the thermostat and saw it was at 66° which is usually the nighttime temperature. I assumed it was a mistake or just hadn't been turned up in the morning so I turned it back to 70°. When I walked by the thermostat again it was now set to 65°. I turned it back up to 70° because I was freezing cold. Then I walked by again and it was 64°. I turned it back to 70°. The next time I walked by it was 63°. I turned it back to 70°. This was clearly J being petty because they were progressively making it colder and colder every time I changed it.

For the entire following night and morning we went back and forth changing the thermostat.

I eventually got sick of it and decided to message them "Please stop changing the thermostat it is cold down here." They didn't respond and continued changing the thermostat. I told them they were being petty and asked them to please stop. This resulted in them blowing up at me and essentially accusing me of only thinking about myself. They also said they "refuse to pay for my excessive gas usage." I told them that they can open a window to cool their room and that they're welcome to come downstairs but there's no equivalent for me and my room. I also said that I didn't think this was about temperature I thought it was about punishing me for disliking them since this problem only started after they blew up at M and they were progressively dropping the thermostat colder and colder every time I changed it back. They told me that it was about temperature. I said that if that's the case they can open a window or come downstairs. That was the end of the conversation.

My other roommates still don't have a problem with the thermostat being set to 70° it's just them. They're also frustrated with J turning down the thermostat so low because they want to spend time downstairs and it's too cold.

so am I the asshole here?

What are these acronyms?

Y'ALL HAD A MOMENT OH MAHHHH GAWDDDDDD and not u saving him...stawp!! its giving hero x damsel in distress trope; bbsf is the damsel in distress ofc🎀

haiya but why did he try to frolick in the meadow with bow though...tskk i feel like he is kinda a player my dakoko 🥥

anyways my theory about the makeup thing...because i am a whore in THEORY and not in practice (i am but secretly hehe at times dw...3-5 business days)

ok so when u do someone's makeup...YOUR FACE IS CLOSE TO THEIRS RIGHTTTTT....you get what i mean...there is so much proximity there is no distance at all...BABABOOI

similar to when you are about to kiss someone [coughs coughs]...so the fact that he "randomly" remembered AND SEEMINGLY POINTS THAT OUT OF THE BLUE shows that this particular and notably phenomenal romantic and very intimate moment that emerged from the planets and stars from the milky way galaxy aligning [pro poetic yapper] has marked him or left an impact on him yknow what i mean...LIKE HE MIGHT THINK OF THIS MOMENT EVERY NIGHT OR SO OFTEN THAT HIS TOES ARE TINGLING OR HE IS GIGGLING AND BLUSHING LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL IN HIS ROOM...like y'all were close to kissing...he definitely was examining your face perhaps HIGH CHANCE of him staring at your lips [cutely sips her pomegranate tea under the covers with plenty of passion🍵🔥that shit bussing btw]

also him mentioning that shows his interest in you also in all delulu interpretation that this particular mention to you evokes a sense that he may have been secretly inquiring about whether you remember that very intimate moment of high chance of smoochy smooch camouflaged by you doing his makeup...to see if you have feelings for him or have a romantic interest in him...VOILA!!🎀

bai bai

[quaranmine]

you were in Iceland?? epic! I've been there as well (in 2022), how was it? how was the volcano? (if you don't mind me asking, feel free to ignore this)

Yes! I was there 5/18 to 6/1. I've wanted to go for like a decade and have been semi planning this trip for 2024 for a year and a half, then properly researching and planning since January. It was SO AMAZING. Exactly everything I wanted :) I was ready to go home at the end for like, my own bed and some rest, but now I miss it and want to go back lol

If you went in 2022, did you get to hike to the Fagradalsfjall eruption? I know those were the "tourist" ones that people could get closer to. The current eruptions are part of another volcanic system on the Reykjanes peninsula, Svartsengi. They aren't open for hiking. It erupted again 3 days before I left. I got to see it twice! On our last full day we drove out of Reykjavik and saw it along the highway, and then the day we left we stopped on the way to the airport. I took this with my 250 mm from literally the side of the highway:

It caused no interferences with our travel. It's a fissure eruption, so the lava is erupting along a fissure and isn't as big and explosive. Initially they were afraid this one might disrupt air travel if the lava flowed to the sea (producing more ash and steam) but it didn't. It was very cool to see! I feel bad for the people who lived in Grindavik though, it’s been months since they had to evacuate and there isn't an end in sight for them yet. The Icelandic government really stays on top of things like road closures, weather reporting, etc so I checked their websites daily. The main concern with the eruption as gas pollution, so I just checked their pollution forecast to see if the wind was going to blow it over us or not (it didn't.)

Our trip went great. We had mostly good weather and apparently left just in time because this last week there's been a pretty nasty problematic storm across the whole country that left a bunch of people stranded. But we left 2 days before that. We drove 3,300 km in our rental car (2,050 miles) and did the entire ring road + some of the Westfjords + Snæfellsnes + Húsavik + Borgarfjörður Eystri as detours. Our rental car was named Jim because that was his license plate. We bonded with him lmao

Here's a few photos :)

Major things I did: Katla Ice Cave, Vestmannaeyjabær, Silfra snorkeling in 2°C water, Jökulsárlon boat tour, Húsavik whale watching, countless waterfalls, puffins at Borgarfjarðarhöfn, Hvammsvik hot springs & Sky lagoon, and Mulagljufur Canyon.

It was at coldest, 2°C (35°F) with downpour rain being pushed sideways into your face by wind to the point you could hardly open your eyes. It was at hottest 19° C (66°F) and sunny. We mostly got great weather, it was only one day that was particularly bad. Mostly it was between 7°C - 13°C (45°F - 55°F) the whole time.

I NEVER saw it get dark and that was a novelty to me the entire trip. Like it never settled in as something I got used to. Presumably it got mostly dark somewhere around 2 am but I was always asleep by then and even if I woke up to go the bathroom, it'd be like 4 am and already light again. The furthest north we stayed was Ísafjörđur, and according to timeanddate.com by May it never reaches full dark, only civil twilight for 3 hours and daylight the other 21. I can't imagine if I'd actually have been there during the solstice, with just that extra month for the days to be even longer!

Now I want to go back for a short winter trip to see the northern lights and then for a proper summer trip to see the highlands (closed the whole time we were there for thawing season)

The Southern Charm

A/N: I'm trying new formatting… Idk what works with me JUST yet so if this is the only post with this kind of formatting, you know :D I will say depending on how interested I am I may make a part two… Who knows lmao <;33 also I WAS gonna post this at 12 am but the demons won and I am posting it at like 9 >:D

Pairing: Cole Cassidy x NB!Reader

Genre: Fluff, Romance, SFW

CW: Pet names, flirting, minor cussing, and kissing?! (😦)

Word Count: 1,090 or so

Summary:

While you are traveling to visit family who begged you to come down, you decide to take a pit-stop break at a small Texan town on Route 66. This was your first stop in any considerable amount time but it has a lot of southern charm, and one cowboy you grab your eye is ALL southern and lots, and I mean lots, of charm. I guess you can say you two went on a date too.

You grabbed your bags as you waited for the train to finally pause on its tracks and for the conductor to confirm everyone can leave. It had been a super long train ride, not being helped at all by the dizzy feeling of motion sickness you had mid-train ride. While gathering your things, you sighed. How long was it to go from South Carolina to California? You thought while looking out the window.

Desert. A town surrounded by sand, dead trees, and cacti. What a great first look at Texas. Although, you couldn't really complain. It was time to stretch your legs and sleep on an actual bed... If there is a motel here, you weren’t one-hundred percent sure what was even in this town. I mean, there has to be a place to eat, especially since you were starving. What food could be there? Fries maybe... or even grilled cheese... you are in texas so there has to be barbeque. 

You were interrupted by your thoughts by the train conductor speaking. “Everyone is now free to leave! There is a restaurant for your hungry folks, a nearby motel, a gas station, and of course the train station! The next train will be here tomorrow morning heading more south..”

His voice started fading from your ears as you stood up, trying to move through the slightly crowded hallway. You held onto your bag tightly, so as to not lose what you have, as you pushed through groups of people. Before you knew it, you were outside in the Texas sun. It was decent, not too hot and not too windy. 

“Now... where is…” you asked yourself while walking out of the train station to locate the restaurant. “Oh, there it is!” you said happily, fixing your bag before starting to walk to the restaurant. You had no idea last time you had a full meal, I mean yeah you brought snacks for the train but that couldn't be counted as a meal. You looked around at the people in this town and you were very out of place. People here wore old western clothes. Boots, cowboy hats, and some had lassos on their belts. It was like you were in an actual western movie.

While looking at everyone, you caught the eye of a certain cowboy. He wore a red poncho with a brown hat and lots of facial hair. He also has a lot of metal on him. ‘He must get hot in all of that... And his hand is also robotic?’ you asked yourself as he started to walk your way. Your eyes raised up to the man's face, a slight nervousness coming up. You weren't nervous because of his good looks, but because he saw you looking at him. He started to walk to you, a southern chuckle emerging from his lips as he finished the cigar he was smoking, throwing it on the ground and stomping on it.

You fixed your posture and put up a nervous grin, hoping he wouldn't yell at you for staring.. Although it would be acceptable, I mean, you would do the same. “Someone seems to like our town,” he said in a teasing tone while you looked up at him nervously. “Sorry I was staring, I’ve never been here before and I just am surprised everyone here wears cowboy hats and stuff” you explained as the Cowboy laughed slightly more.

“You've never been here before? Well may I welcome such an attractive person like yourself to this little town I call home?” he asked, bowing with open arms for a moment before standing up and placing his hand on the holster of his gun. You were taken aback by how flirtatious he was being right now, I mean, calling you attractive in less than a minute of meeting? You gave a nervous laugh while covering your face slightly. “It’s an honor to be here, Mister…?” you asked, lowering your hand as you started to process how hungry you actually were. “Cole, Cole Cassidy at your service,” he replied, tilting the brim of his hat to you. “Sorry for the conversation change but I haven’t eaten an actual meal in fucking forever- is that café any good?” you asked, pointing to the only restaurant in sight. 

“The Panorama Diner? Oh yeah, it’s good… As good as a place in the middle of nowhere can be” he laughed, turning his body to the diner. “Hey, do you wanna eat with me? I’ll pay for your meal if you agree, stunning traveler” he half-joked, starting to walk to the diner. Obviously, you agreed, I mean, free food and the ability to go on an unofficial date with a handsome cowboy, it’s a win-win! “It would be an honor to be on a date with someone who has all the southern charm in the world” you replied, quickening your pace to catch up with Cole.

“So, where are you going up to? Arizona? Washington? Or are you here to stay in this little town with little ol’ me?” Cole asked with a raised eyebrow, leaning towards you before leaning back to normal. You laughed, fixing the bag around your body. “Despite the fact I would love to stay here with you, I have to go to California to visit family!” you replied with a laugh, shoving your hands into your pockets. “Damn, looks like you have a whole lotta more ways to go, but I ain’t the one to question why someone goes places” he laughed, his smile growing slightly as you two stepped up the stairs of the Diner.

The Diner didn’t look that bad, and I mean it was busy so it had to be good. “Oh, by the way,” he stopped in front of the door to look at you. “I may be a little bit popular here, so if you see people looking at you they aren’t in awe of how breathtaking you look, they just are wondering why you were chosen to go out with me” he jokingly said, nudging your arm with his elbow before laughing. Cole opened the door and motioned for you to go inside first. You stepped in, the smell of food overwhelming your nose, the coolness of the building that contrasted the outside dryness, and the talk of the people was the best thing ever to your right now. 

The two of you walked in and seated yourselves, Cole grabbed a menu as the two of you were heading to a booth next to a window. You sat opposite each other. Cole handed you a menu and you glanced over it, all the food options looked so good. “Hey- what do you always get here?” you asked as Cole looked up from his hand resting on the table. “I get the pie, but if you want a good meal,” he began, leaning over the table and pointing to the ‘Texan Charmer’ which was a burger and fries. “Now that's what I normally get” He laughed looking up at you. You met eyes with him as he leaned back down with a growing smile. “I think I’ll get that, and maybe an apple pie after. If you say it's good it has to be, right?” you jokingly asked him as he laughed. “I mean, if I say something is good in any sense, it’s one hundred percent true,” he half-joked, causing you to give a small chuckle.

Cole raised his hand up to have a waitress, the only waitress, come over and take the orders of both of you. This gave both of you time to talk and get to know each other. “So, why did you ask me out to go eat?” you asked, leaning on the table a bit towards Cole. “Well- Unlike everyone else on that train you were alone and caught my eye,” He said, a bit nervously, clearing his throat. “And I didn’t want anyone else to try anything on ya, since there are few gangs and stuff here” he explained, looking away from you. “Wow that- that’s sweet of you, it’s honestly a surprise,” you laughed, causing Cole to grumble a bit as the food was brought and placed on the tablet with your drinks.

You looked at the food in awe after thanking the waitress. “This smells so good,” you stated, grabbing some fries and putting them in your mouth. “Everything here is a homemade, fun fact!” he replied, grabbing a fry with his robotic arm. “Hey, that’s mine!” you jokingly said while leaning over to get it back. “And who's paying for your food again?” he asked in a teasing tone, raising his hand slightly out of reach. You reached for the fry one more time before leaning back with a fake annoyed look. “Hey, don’t worry buttercup,” he started, eating the stolen fry. “You have plenty more fries to eat on that plate of yours... In the meantime though,” he changed the subject to his food, his apple pie. 

The two of you ate in general silence, only talking or commenting on the food once or twice. “Is that pie any good?” you asked cole with a raised eyebrow, already finished your burger and most of your fries. “Best I've ever had actually,” he laughed, taking another bite with his fork. “If you want a bite just ask, I’m... I’m not hungry anymore,” he said, looking away from you as he pushed the pie and his fork toward you. “No way am I eating this myself, especially when I can share it with a handsome cowboy like yourself,” you flirted, sticking your tongue out at him as he chuckled. “Fine then, guess I can’t miss the opportunity to eat with someone as stuntin’ like yourself, darlin’,” he replied, his southern accent coming through in that sentence.

So, as stated, the two of you shared the desert together. You were more flustered than he was, never really sharing food like that with a stranger- or more of a new friend. Crush maybe? You didn’t know what was the right thing to call him as of current. After he had paid for both of your meals, you two decided to head out. You had to get a motel room so he decided to walk with you. It was sundown, so you assumed Cole wanted to be ‘protective’ of you. It was slightly comforting. As you walked Cole lit a cigar.

“So, how long did ya say you were staying here?” he asked you, putting the cigar in his mouth. “Just until the next train comes here,” you replied, taking a step closer to Cole, finding comfort in him the more you two hung out together. “I think the next train will be here tomorrow afternoon,” you added. Cole nodded silently as you spoke, taking the cigar out of his mouth for a moment to have fresh air before putting it back. “Hey- will you at least see me before you leave?” he asked nervously, clearing his throat. “I would- I want to exchange numbers... In case you wanna come to visit” he said, changing his demeanor from nervous to flirtatious. “Or if you wanna spend the night at my place, you're free too.”  You laughed, nodding your head as you leaned your whole upper body on him as you two walked to the motel.

“Despite the fact I would love to spend the night with you, maybe another day” you replied, opening the door to the motel check-in. Cole dropped his cigar and stomped it out as you asked for a one-night motel room. It was pretty quick to get you one, which you were glad for. Cole followed you to your hotel room, watching as you unlocked the door and threw your bag in real quickly. 

“Well, Darlin’... It was nice spending the day with you. Tomorrow I'll stop by to say goodbye, yeah?” he asked, cupping your cheek with a chuckle. You smiled, grabbing his face with your hands and leaning his face towards you, the smell of cigar almost making you lean back. “I guess i will be waiting then” you smiled, leaning your face forward and giving him a cheek kiss, moving your hands as he stood slightly shocked, and a bit offended you didn’t kiss him on the lips. But I mean, you can’t have him be too eager, now can you?

You walked into the motel, turning to Cole with a grin.

“See you tomorrow, Darlin’!”

Kadalia

Kadalia is a medium-sized continent, located within the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres, surrounded by the Kadalian Ocean from the north, west and east and by the Sagastanian Ocean from the south. The Voay Sea (also called the Voay Channel) lies between Kadalia and Africa, while the Sea of Sejuk separates Kadalia from Sagastan. The archipelago of Tanana, as well as multiple islands, such as Panya, lay on Kadalian continental shelf and are considered part of the continent, especially since many of them (though not the Tanana Archipelago) were connected to the mainland during the glacial maximums.

Kadalia is composed of different parts of ancient continent of Gondwana, those that in OTL would form Madagascar, Kerguelen, Seychelles and Mascarene Islands. On Tehar, they are conjoined in the form of a large landmass above sea level.

Kadalia has a variety of climates, from frigid tundras of Sejuk to hot rainforests of Tanana. It has relatively few mountains and is mostly flat. Kadalia is home to an extraordinarily unique biota, since it existed separate from the other landmasses for at least 66 million years. It's human history is long, and nowadays it is home of a variety of ethnic groups. Historically it was often considered "the crossroads between Libya and Tanah", and humans first came to it's shores from both sides.

Compared to the mountainous landmasses, such as Skiffia or Hatunwata, Kadalia is relatively flat. It's highest mountain is Mount Hitam, part of the Besar Mountains, in the southeast. It reaches just 3568 meters above sea level. The lowest point of Kadalia, the marshy lowlands of Lubang Rawa, is -13 meters below sea level. Most of the continent is either flat or hilly, with only a few minor ridges. The lowlands are home to multiple large rivers, flowing from the mountain peaks towards seas or lakes.

Volcanism is relatively prevalent in the southernmost parts, such as Besar, as well as in the Alas and Ramona Ridges. Active volcanoes exist, with multiple eruptions in the last few hundred years.

Glaciation exists in a significant portion of the mountains of Kadalia. While no part of the continent is covered by ice shields, unlike, for example, the frozen Sagastan, the glaciers in the southeast frequently reach low latitudes. Ocean waters south of Kadalia are often full of icebergs.

The most famous lake on Kadalia, the Ularair Lake, is of glacial origins. It has been carved up during the LGM.

Kadalia has been isolated since Late Cretaceous, when it completely broke away from Arda, right before the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event. Prior to that, it was a part of the ancient continent Gondwana, which causes a large portion of it's biota to share common origins with those from other Southern Hemisphere landmasses.

The minerals of Kadalia include copper, iron, manganese, gold, sapphires and others. Fossil fuels found include moderate amounts of oil, gas and relatively larger reserves of coal.

*Mindlessly writing about Plo surviving order 66 bc my mind is diseased*

*with terrible English*

*and deep hurt*

The first thing he recognized was fire.

Too much hotness, burning through skin to bone.

When he couldn't suppressed his scream, and for that, when he drew air, his lung burned like acid poured straight into his throat. While he painfully coughed in the toxic gas, he finally realized that his mask was shattered piece by piece in his hand that was holding his mouth.

The instinct that he studied through wartime made him reach his side pocket immediately. His hand remembered where he stored spare mask parts. While he tried to calm his cough and hold breath, and he closed his eyes, only relying on his sense of touch, he quickly assembled mask parts. When the last piece was placed, he drew the mask and goggles in face fast, and finally breathed steady and deep. After a few more breaths, he finally found control of his body.

Which was not pleasant.

His body's left side screamed in pain as burn scar carved on their surface. He couldn't find any sense in his left arm, and he knew that was not a good sign. When he stood, he felt sharp pain through his whole body, so that probably meant many bones of him broken. If that's what it takes for a surviving plane crash, he tried to think calmly, it will hardly be worst bargaining.

And he remembered the terrible truth.

The shot was from behind.

When he was flying the sky of Cato neimoidia, he was doing last sweep for any last remaining enemies. He and his wingman Jag flied through clean sky and tall buildings, watching from above marching troopers, beautiful bridge city.

'They already deployed new shinies down there.'

Captain Jag had pointed the marching young clones.

'Hopefully, those boys would be able to survive longer than before.'

'Our fight in this place is almost over. They maybe not even need to fight in here.'

Plo replied with hope; he knew this whole war would be soon over. Count Dooku was defeated, it was a matter of time. And when this sweep is over, he would finally inform that Cato neimoidia is safe from separatists, he could go back to his home. After a long and painful deployment on this battlefield, him and the whole 442nd were devastated and tired. If he could be back in home, he would find his families he can talk, and favorite meditating places he can rest. Maybe, he could finally meet his little 'soka, again. Last time, he heard that she came back to them to fight with them again. How he missed her, with deep grief and regret. If she can forgive his grave mistake, and allow him to ever talk to her...

And there was a sudden warning in the Force.

It was from behind.

It was impossible, there's no enemy detected yet, and only one behind him was his wingman, how could this-

And then the whole world shattered.

And then he could finally remember. The shot was from his wingman.

And it was still impossible. There wasn't any intention for killing and betrayal felt in the Force from Captain before flying. Jag was a great man. He valued the lives rather than success or victory. That's why he evacuated his troopers from battle that they couldn't win, and took any punishment of failure for his mans safety. How could he do this unreasonable betrayal by his own choice?

Still confused, he tried to look around. The place was messed. When he looked up, there was now fallen bridge, which was smoking with fire. When he looked down again, he could recognize that a big part of the bridge had fallen with his starfighter. It was a miracle that he was alive somehow.

And that was the worst kind of miracle.

First, he saw a white shining helmet between debris. He recognized that the clone trooper's body was buried under wrecks. He quickly approached the body and stood there, witnessing the truth.

There was no living energy felt in the Force.

There was nothing, while there were bodies everywhere.

Each body was broken, buried, and shattered with wreck of bridge. Armors of them weren't painted, so they were what they called Shiny, the youngest clones that just got out from Kamino. None of them was moving. No one is calling help or screaming in pain.

Feeling like his own heart dropped down, Plo slowly set down on dirt and closed his eyes, and spread his Force sense. He tried to reach anyone, anything, that if there's still lives that he can help, he can save. But when he released himself in the Force, only he could feel was more pain and death. Everywhere in the whole galaxy, all of his families screamed in disbelief and grief. Almost all of them dying painfully, not even younger ones were spared...

And when he finally reached his limit, from pain and grief, he had witnessed, he lost consciousness with silent cry.

There was no Jedi anymore.

Clones had betrayed them with no hesitation.

And in the middle of now newly created Empire's place, Plo was standing there, unsure what to do.

Ashes still snowed from fire in bridge above them, down where Plo and the body of shinies' laid down. Ground and the clues of so many deaths were already buried under gray ash. Plo remembered the color of his battalion's armors. Wolffe once said that gray means grieving for close ones they lost. Mourning for their lost families.

Is this the meaning of the fight? The result of their choices?

His dear niece, Sha said to him, that this was is meaningless. While she was grieving his dear padawan, and fallen troopers, she was disgusted by the Republic that only focused on her 'victory', and she told that any good reason for this war will never change the fact they sacrificed many great mans lives.

His royal and brave Commander Wolffe once told him, that clones have so many doubts in this war, but they still don't have choice but fight or die, because they were made and taught for that. That he wonders if they had the actual chance to choose their life other than fighting in war till death, how many would remain here to fight.

In deep inside of Plo's heart, he secretly agreed with them. He never wanted slaves, the slaves made for them to fight with them. No other choice but to follow orders, fighting till death or thrown out like trash when they used. He deeply cared for and respected any clones lives, but at the same time, he was disgusted about how they were 'made' like things. After Shaak's care in Kamino, clones' rights were slightly got better for his relief, but it was still heavy burden that he was leading the army of young troopers to their graves.

Maybe this was their punishment, for how they changed for fighting the war, for how they justified using clones for their fights, for how clones had to suffer under their command.

But then he also remembered.

Before he and 104th's last farewell(Plo didn't know that would be the last), Wolffe told him with his honest heart.

'I never regret fighting with you, General. Even if you still doubt your leadership for our great loss... We are all glad that you're our Jedi. Because you care and believe about us, and we are doing the same to you.'

And they talked about their fights, what they were fighting for, those whom they managed to save, and those pleasant memories that they made together.

If you ask him about war, he would answer that he had doubts about why they're fighting, and feared what they became through time in war. But even that, he would never regret meeting and fighting with his troopers, brave and charming friends. And fighting for saving lives and right things, in the violence spreading through galaxy.

He needed to move. He needed to keep living for what they fought and grieved.

First thing first. He needed to find others.

He never felt little 'soka's death in the Force.

If the galaxy would ever allow him, there's still a chance that he will meet her again.

If will of the Force would allow him to reunion with whose he deeply misses, he would wait and live till that time comes.

With newly rooted hope in his heart, he started to move again to his pass.

different creatures  ( perfection in the telling )

* i’m sure this is just foolish nostalgia for days gone bye...bye;

nation-spanning highways, old texaco signs roadside inspiring faith in the dream, diners providing good food, cool drinks & a respite;

before we became aware of the insidiousness of it all - shops & stops replaced, big oil's spiral - the impending doom of life’s rarefied slices  which birthed it.

i can smell the kicked up dust roadside as we turned off route 66; tasting gas fumes in the air,

or is it the other way around?

amidst shops run by mom & pop well, someone's... selling trinkets & treats,

the latter, tasty for sure, former - mainly novelties truly handmade in the gud ol' US of A, by 'natives' or by way of Taiwan, even so.

we were different creatures, then pure as the not-yet-polluted air, the pre-urban sprawl

fed on diets of hot dogs, RC cola, too many juicyfruits, black & white television, AM radio, Time & Look magazines ( Ebony in ‘select’ cities - well...);

& mail had a voice only if you knew your carrier - which you did, offering them up a cool drink on a hot day ‘cause that’s how we do....

different then, truly we were; purer in our mind's expanse & pace like that old highway

making each trip a treat, paving a path to perfection - in the telling

...today, anyway. * 7/17 - lebuc - different creatures ( perfection in the telling ) *

Highway Robbery

This must be the end

The trail is half-finished

And the lead gas emptied

You call this highway robbery?

A sore thumb stick-up

Down Route 66

The same spot I left you

In early May

A sojourn down the desert road

Hot concrete on your sole

I call this a pit stop

Or a traffic jam beside a cop

I’ll call you when we finally

Get back home

-V.V.

Ahsoka ep 4.- Again my thoughts that are not necessarily logical.

I can’t believe Hera took Jacen with her.

Hera: You’ll think of something

Lieutenant Hawkins: Think of something. Think of something. Think of something.

I’m glad that the squadron also went to help.

Huyang saying that Ahsoka and Sabine always were doing better together.

What the hell happened to the Knight looking bad guy? (I forgot his name) what was that gas thing?

I do like that older… fallen jedi? He’s nice. He would be a good jedi had the story took a different course. Without order 66.

And ofc they would separate. What did I expect?

And he knew Anakin.

Although to try and use Ahsoka’s past against her? Sad.

Oh, he’s name is Baylan. Found it!!!!

What happened to Ahsoka? What did the orb do? Was it just too hot or what?

Ouch, ahsoka is/was mad. I’m glad she saw Sabine is alive.

But then she had to be thrown down the cliff.

Baylan, please, leave Sabine alone.

Girl, do not listen to him!!!!! You know this is not what Ezra would want!!!!

I’m glad Hera came!!!!

No, go back. Part glad part sad because as always people died.

Jacen has a bad feeling… is he like Kanan? Or maybe just a feeling.

Snips, where are you? Wait… it’s that world in between worlds again? Lol. Did not expect that. Or did she actually die?

Yay, anakin!!!!

Please, Soka, don’t be dead.

Lol, Vader’s music in the end.
