everyone: ugh i am so excited because they are going to talk in this chapter <3 me: no they are not <3

“What the fuck,” Anakin hisses the moment that the restaurant owner ambles away from their backbooth table, throwing one last sad glance over his shoulder at the slumped form of the Jedi master. “Dex knows?”

“Anakin–”

“Fucking—Dex knows? Before I did?” “Lower your voice, padawan,” Obi-Wan snaps. His knuckles are white around the edges of the menu clutched in his hands, and his eyes are frozen on the words in front of him.  They haven’t needed a fucking menu since Anakin was eleven fucking years old.

“You told Dex before—”

The menu is slammed onto the table, and Obi-Wan glowers at him, vein in his temple pronounced and angry flush staining his cheeks crimson. “I did not tell Dex, padawan. He told me. Because, unlike some people, he noticed that I was feeling unwell. Because he. Was. Here. To notice. Instead of gallivanting off to a Mid-Rim resort under a flimsi-thin excuse of a Jedi-sanctioned mission—”

Anakin recoils like Obi-Wan has reached across the table and struck him round the face. He thinks, faintly, that he'd prefer if he'd done that instead.

So I sorta kinda made my discord profile as cringey and hard to look at as possible and I love how it came out??

genuine life tip: have at least two non overlapping social circles so that if someone does something that mildly irritates you that is not a big deal and doesn't need to become a big deal you can go bitch about it somewhere that it won't get back to the person you're mildly irritated at

Day 6 and final of trying to get you invested in my original book "Bound By Name" by posting short character intros!

The Council, first of all, is not just one character. It is composed of 12 fae of varying races and together with Aster make up the ruling power of the Underworld. Most of them live in the Palace for convenience.

Random notes: For now I'm treating the Council as one big entity but maybe I'll flesh out some of the members more if I need more characters or plot so watch out for those guys!

You'll understand, won't you? I left my heart in my suitcase, and home is always out on the horizon. I go to the beach alone, and I dance with the tide but scoff at the sea foam. Do you understand? Hopefully. I come home, and the ocean leaks out from my shoe soles.

1 and 9 for ask meme ?!

Sunie!!! thank you for the ask!!

Who was your first ever OC? Do you still “use” them? How have they evolved over time?

You were beaten to this ask, but HEY I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE OLD INVADER ZIM OCS! Mainly because theyre the only ones i have like, actual pictures of.

would you like a lilyan? She has also been redesigned semi-recently!

9. Favourite OC?

oUGHGHGhghGHghg... . .

Okay. So there is. For sure a VERY definite answer for this one. But its also kind of weird because-- okay so

Its gotta be frisk. But specifically Fonttale Frisk? From the au that i never wrote because KC and I kept making the AU increasingly more complicated with more AUs that branch off of it without actually. Posting anything about it anywhere.

BUT YSEE. THEYRE NOTHING LIKE CANON. ANd because i made like 100 aus, theres like. A TON of different variants of em.

Anyways if you want a version that managed to grow its own two legs n become its own thing, it would be Fumiya.

If you want a frisk thats more like. still a lil connected to fonttale? You get Major.

But the baseline fonttale frisk has a very special place in my heart. (its a hole in the ground labeled bastard)

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

Really interesting thing I glimpsed on rednote today

I think We- we’re developing international class consciousness

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations
