My Last Post: The Anon Harasser

This is going to be a long one. I may be losing followers for this: I no longer care and Im out of fcks to give. I will stick to posting my Nilfgaardian content and ignore this person who has blatantly called me out BY NAME several times, which is very rude. I’ve ignored this person for several months then bam! I see my name again on their latest post. I wont stoop to that level and instead say that this persons’ name sounds like “sand-in-my- shorts” (insert StarWars joke). 

Unlike Sandy (not real name), I will blot out their name and face. If anyone recognize you, Sandy, well, you've made yourself infamous with your well documented MO, and posting them with your face as the background. (Translation is done through an image to text translator so I included the original text)

I also do not appreciate insulting followers, calling them “minions” or “fools”, and I’m not the only content creator whom you also called a fool and their followers fools. I had hoped that after blocking you for your passive aggressiveness and telling you to move on and leave me alone, you’d move on and leave me alone! Instead, you fixated on me and send me hostile anon msgs. Either you or your pack of hyenas.  But apparently, you get off from posting venom about me and others. And then I receive the latest post on your page with all the usual lies. Since you’re hell-bent on besmirching my name, let’s go over the  post of me on your TUMBLR:

1. There it is, another name drop. I was in IG first before you and being new to how IG works, I liked a lot of post, including this “another person” you mentioned whom I have no idea you had problems with. I was with the rest who tried lifting your spirits. Turns out, this person was right in calling you toxic. But I stayed nevertheless because of our mutual support for Nilfgaard.

2.Ignored “really good post” is subjective and depends on the viewer. I liked some of your post and it’s my right to exercise liking any post. Promoted even some of them in the stories. Just because we both like Nilfgaard  doesn’t mean I will blindly like everything you put out there. You also did not liked some of my post and I did not raise a stink about it. Your “daughter OC” replaced Ciri completely that Emhyr forgot about her, is a whole new universe that doesn’t sit right by me so I chose to withheld liking it. Other than that, some were good.

3. That was not a discussion: the thread was becoming long with your opinion that the ship has no future, to which I reply that Im not making a fic about this nor do I have time to worry about every rarepair in the fandom that goes against my corner of the fandom multiverse -which Ciri and Morvran are together and your OCs do not exist: only in your corner of the multiverse. Still you wont stop, so I had to close the topic with this reply (reader, pay attention to the final sentence.)

As to why I blocked? Remember this under the old name of your account? See the lifted last sentence?

4. This was a team effort, with me coming up with the writing of the announcement, assigning who posts whom: I even have the final draft saved on MS WORD. So this was not planned by one person. As for partner relation, I was relatively new to IG and no idea how to partner up with anyone. It was after the parting of ways that I learned how to partner with fellow creators.

5. I have been making screenshots of my PS4 gameplay using the share button. And because its a PS4, I have no mods to undress characters. The naked Emhyrs and Morvrans were sent to me by the pc masterace which I use to polish my rough photoshopping skills. Our post never looked the same: you have seen my naked Emhyrs and half naked Morvrans (because you never stopped vagueblogging about them). Undressing W3 characters is not a unique idea nor it became a trend. Fan arts and screenshots of naked Emhyr and Morvran were already here on Tumblr and I wanted to contribute to that small pool. I’ve been on Tumblr longer (I’m a returnee) than I’ve been on IG and I’ve painted many videogame characters in various state of undress.

6. No name was mentioned in that post except for the mention of “green eyes”- the color of jealousy, but it looks like this person just outed themselves here. I did not tell them to go at you with pitchforks, they aren't mindless minions. Even without the name drop these people recognized you through your actions. I posted there for you to MOVE ON and LEAVE ME ALONE. 

You, on the other hand, encouraged your followers (or account clones) to harass someone here for “bullying” where in fact it is you who is the bully.

Screenshots of the anon msg? Oh no, not those. I meant the ones on Tumblr and IG, and they are definitely yours: account name and all, not to mention your face on display. The advice on tags? You mentioned only that my post did not show on the tags: I found out this is a common issue with people posting on IG using PC so I googled the workaround and posted the tags on the comments instead of on the captions. 

Aren’t you full of yourself? Quite the narcissist, arent we? I’d be unpopular without you? You are my motivation? I started gaining attention because posting pure Nilfgaardian content -both on Tumblr and IG- wasn't getting me anywhere: not even Emhyrs’ photoshopped naked arse, so I posted fan favorites, even asked some creators permission to have their pics posted on my page- complete with name credit and links to their pages. You had a little rant about it, then a few days later posted fan faves too, and -surprise surprise- they were more liked than the Nilfgaard posts!

If there is something I will give you credit for, it is this: Because of your actions, I learned a great deal of tolerance for other’s opinions counter to mine. I learn to embrace and respect the strange fandom and even stranger shipping. Canon lore has its place, and we have our special place where we create OC’s and pair unlikely characters for fun. 

This post wont stop the hostile dms, the lies, the vagueblogging because Sandy is unapologetic, relentless,will continue to bicker with those who goes against the “book canon”, turns around and plays the victim card. But at least I get to speak my peace after nearly a year long hounding.

I will continue to photoshop and post content that I like whether they be clothed or tastefully naked, Nilfgaardian or Nordling. It no longer matters to me if  i get 0 notes: tumblr will just be my gallery- my collection museum.

For my peace of mind, Sandy will be reduced to white noise, I will put anon messaging on hold indefinitely, move on and focus on me, my OC, my simping for Emhyr and my collection.

UPDATE: The entire post on sand-in-my-shorts has been deleted and account name has been changed. Thank god for screenshots!

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) Directed by George Lucas It's hard to believe we've already reached August in 2021! So @aninchaugust is here, a challenge that was started in 2018 by @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika, where the goal is to create miniature artworks that fit into the space of an inch. I've participated in it in the past years and it's something I look forward to every year. They have come up with daily prompts for this year's challenge. While I don't think I'll be able to make a sketch for every day of the month, I'll see how many I'm able to do. The first prompt is to surprise everyone, so here is what I came up with... Last month I'd started a challenge myself to make art based on memes, and there is one meme that I wanted to draw, which is the 4-panel template featuring Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) from "Star Wars Episode II". So, I did that, but in the space of an inch square. I was thinking I'll make four one inch squares for each panel, but then I thought let me do all the four panels in one inch square only. This is also sketch number 600, of my @dailymoviesketch movie drawing series! I started an art account in 2016 with movie related sketches, and I've been numbering the sketches since then. Last year I moved to posting all the sketches on my @karthikabhiram account only, and now since Instagram introduced a Collaboration feature, all movie sketches will be posted on both accounts. The drawing was done with 0.5mm mechanical pencil with 4B lead on A5 notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store. You can swipe to see a scan, couple of uses of it as a meme template (though it isn't as effective due to the very small size), and also a short timelapse. I actually keep moving the paper around while drawing, and peer closely into the paper often, so doing this type of timelapse was very uncomfortable and I stopped it. #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021 #createwithkarthik #meme #memes #memesimade #padmeandanakin #starwars #starwarsmeme #miniatureart #pencil #pencildrawing #tinysharma #600 / 1-Aug-21 (at Secunderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCdg3ABUeS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Simmer, Get to know

Tagged by the lovely @katsimsdreamer​ and @whyhellosims​ ♥

Under the cut, these are so long ☻♥

Your name: Patricia is my Real Life name but on the internet, I go by MarcelTorak for account names and Sinostra (usually) for my avatar in games.

Languages you speak: English, a tiny smattering of Spanish and French because you know school and education. French is required in elementary school in Canada and Spanish, German or French are usually options for you in Highschool. I studied Spanish for 4 years but that was 20 years ago so... I retained NOTHING! 

Are you a mermaid: I am a Life Bouy I float... literally FLOAT like I can dive into the water and just keep my arms and legs straight at my sides and I will end up on my back floating perfectly.

Your playstyle: Mostly just Gameplay but I have been trying challenges recently. I never tried any challenges before I joined Tumblr.

Your self sim picture:  I might be a bit thicker but I’m sure I set her to the heaviest setting. I’m lucky in that I retained my figure even when I gained 100 pounds it helps me look less than I really am.

Stories or gameplay builds, lookbooks, edits or cc:  I love reading people's stories. I love doing gameplay and just seeing what randomness can happen at times. I’m too lacking in confidence to really do lookbooks or builds but I love looking at other peoples. I adore CC just not talented enough to make it but I certainly APPRECIATE IT!!! I did do my first edit ever the other day for the Lunar Zodiac Challenge!!!

Your favourite age state:  I would love the age states a hell of a lot more if there was -more- I could do with them. Infants, Toddlers, Children are so adorable but I feel really limited in their activities and personalities. Teens are great because the game treats them like practical adults so there is little you can’t do with them. I love the growing up and watching them become someone...

Your favourite season: Every time I start a new save I start in spring because I feel that is the order of things. Birth life ageing death and birth anew. It feels off if I choose a different season to start with. I did it with the Santa Baby Challenge but that’s because she’s all about winter so I had to.

Your favourite holiday:  Winterfest was my favourite because of the Santa Baby Challenge and the fun I had with it but I’m growing to really like Love Day and the warm fuzzies I get seeing my sims do special things for their loved ones.

How was your day: I didn’t really get much done today but the things I really wanted to get done today I did finish so I feel accomplished. 

Your favourite career:  If you don’t mind needing to travel around a lot the Conservationist Career when you do the stay at home functions was really fun when I started out with Pearl but as my families grow I lose the time to spend focusing on the stay at home tasks as much so I usually pick a job that suits their personality or aspiration and send them off without me.

Your favourite aspiration: I love family aspirations.

Your favourite EP, SP or GP

Favourite Eps: Island Living 

Favourite SP’s: The toddler one. I forgot what it’s called.

Favourite GP’s: Vampires and Realm of Magic

How old is your simblr:  I should be hitting 1 year old within the month? I’ve had the account for much longer but I’ve only been active for a year.

Have you woohooed:  I should say so. I’ve been married, divorced and now live common law with my current darling who I hope to be with forever. It’s been 8 years so I think I will. ^_^

Your favourite skill: Any musical skill, Flower Arranging and Wellness.

The size of your mods folder: 16.6 gigs with about 580+ folders sorting by the creator.

Your 3 favourite mods: Deaderpool for MCCC, LittleMsSam and all her mods, Polar Bear sims and their Personality and vampire mods. I suppose but I really am tied up with several more I would want to list.

Your interests (other than sims):  Reading, Crochet and Video Games... Mostly RPG types like World of Warcraft, Starwars and the like.

Your favourite sim (picture if possible): I made her for a bachelor(ette) challenge that never went anywhere so she’s never gotten to be featured in anything but I seriously think this is the most beautiful sim I’ve ever made and will ever make.

which sims games you have played (including mobile games): The Sims 1, 2, 3 and 4. I had the Wii sims uhm... those little box head ones? Both mobile versions as well. Oh and the Castaways one. I still own (in storage somewhere so the disks might not work anymore... all the expansions, game packs and stuff packs of Sims 1, 2, 3, and almost all of 4 I’m just missing tiny living.

Propose a crazy scheme: *raises pointed finger in the air* I believe that what sims 4 needs the most is what sims 3 had! That website connected to the game that lets you purchase little addons for the game! You could by something as simple as a hairstyle or a whole town! you had to use real money and I can’t see why it wouldn’t make them billions of dollars because I swear by the time sims 4 came out I had invested about 1,000 dollars myself alone and I still hadn’t bought all I wanted to buy! Hell! They could even save themselves time and give out like a... I dunno uhm.. royalty payment? to current modders to feature their stuff on the sims official site if they let the company own the CC from then on but the artist either would get a single fair payout or a couple of cents per download kinda payout.... it would motivate the people who make CC for money as well as fun and give EA a massive pool of content to choose from!

The best part of simblr:  Seeing all the amazing talent, imaginations and humour of the people around me who have the same joy in playing sims as I do. Seeing comments on my posts even if it’s just a <3 I get all happy seeing it!

The worst part of simblr:  Well I haven’t really gotten to see the dark side of Simblr to be honest but I do think that people sometimes can get out of hand with their differing opinions.

What other games you play: World of Warcraft, Starwars Online, Any MMORPG really I’ve tried almost all of them if they are free to try. Lately, my husband and I play Titan Quest together it’s fun it’s like Diablo 2

other websites or accounts (origin, twitter etc..): uuuuuuhm I have a Facebook account for personal use that I hardly use other than to get messages from people I need to hear from since I do not have a phone. I have a twitter I never use that I linked to things so they post on it for me? I have an Instagram I was putting crochet stuff on it but I can’t remember the password for it anymore I never use it really I don’t really Uhm... do the social thing... I’m on Discord?

I’m tagging: @quinnterestingsims, @kalissimsblog​, @lotusplum​, @sammsims​, @sadmachinepng​, @nyxfoxx​ if you already have done this or don’t want too then just ignore it.

#camelsurf #a_dragons_lair #vault_a This is a rewrite of a post I wrote a couple of days ago - this time it'll not be as complete and revealing but I rewrite the main part of what the picimage is about... ...as being "bench-mark" himself, I am (in a plutocratic way) a scool-building, classroom or some extraordinary booth for some students in economics to be tested or the other way test myself in what is an illegal duel of who's the man in finance... or similair to that. And who's the "puppy" when it comes to dog-fighting in Manhattan Bull's district - or the "wall-street"-bullfigther... the one running away from the furious creature... or he who kills the one's that trying to make an original bank-buildning (or "the vault") mad/to blow up himself or go in to an disillusional mode and take medication for his "disorder". "Pains-taking animal-tests" they would call it in Swedish... ...in this case, with the aim for doing today's "Yuppies" ("Financial Puppies") into mad men trying to win in a homosexual warfare-tactic way. A tactic where you don't "show yourself" by only visualise you "physical presence" and trying to use the fag-goat's homofiering to fuck your own thoughts into a fighting bulls head and sound cocky at the same time. That "dark fires" (in the nether regions) won't avail you... you have to go through the wall of isolation and open up what's on your mind - or debate like a man, you put your words in writing and sign it and stand up for it as your opinion until other opinions comes well at hand. The you stand up for the sake that it WAS your previous opinions - but you redemt, thought again and made that ol' veal spinning, for (one of) the first tiome in your life. The Dragon's Lair is deep down into the "nether regions" (a little bit deeper than the tiger's cage in a Zoo I earlier reported a news article about) - and the TV-show in Sweden wearing the same name was all about investors with big money who could see futures in some inventions or new services on a global market. The problem in many cases is that the maturity and eyesight of an investor might not reach beyond money-profit or lack the awareness of where the world of banking/currencies and economy as a whole is going. They live within a currency/bank with an account they not know the very first origin of - how "money" itself come to be... and where the lack of seriousity is taking the trading/business future into. "Financial puppies" may sit in rows with their portfolios in their knees as they were students (they are studying figures alot in finance today) in the benches of an old classroom - where some look into what a neigbouring class-mate are doing or having as private successful secrets in his own "desk" (called "hacking" someone's software today) - but will they pass the test or even graduate if "financial morale" going into a "moras" (morale failure-mode) and every coin/bill/note possible on Earth will loose it's 'function' (OBS! Not 'value' here - but why/how it once was built)? Noone will be available to resurrect a civilisation as hig as today modern standards again if that is where the enemy of the state (and it's justice-function) will try to take this case in/with psychiatry... that's already a given fact if you see 7 000 years of the function of everything in every direction. A "clairvoyancy" (a "clear view") given you (earned by not doing wrong and only go forward for a right cause in a life's struggle) as being the one with both Bull's Eye and having the Eye of the Tiger, born with the two starsigns in western + eastern zodiacs and at the same NOT being the fony adventurer (with "special glasses") in some Pyramidical-Quest and that "Hollywood-girl" of a psychiocrat (cooperator with state thought-police) on film. That make every psychiocrat into a profit-tor on other peoples minds/brains - a dangerous future if the-y who rule think "to hell with it" and rather make what's been done fall than forcing through a court-trial worth naming to reinstate the validation for a governmental structure that once was in democracies - and NOT go for Anarchy-mode (a "Total Fall Down") as a futuristic solution for thinking that 'ignorance' (towards cause and effects from what has happened) is a "bless" - when such a thing (a "bless") NEVER has happened... from any "reliable source". I see hell in a larger scale if "law" isn't resurrected in 3-4 nations I've passed through over the last 18 months or so (even resurrected within the european union) in exile and in need of this "cross-border"-protection against Anarchy-attacks (with a massdestructional-weapon noone want to experience - think Los Angeles-riots in a never ending scale here, "The Walking Dead" and the "calmness" you see in that series comes after a (1) year or so - first a "Mad Max-hell" for 8 months in a row right where you live). If you're an anarchist - think again... think twice. Investors and profitors are not the same nature, not the same maturity/experience-grade and fighting as a "bad looser" (has been seen) is a wish to "send it all to hell"... and your writing your wishing-list to a Father Christmas now... I can't understand what the hell it was someone had sent over to me - but it ain't any of my own creations... it was as we say in swedish "-only to compact it... and throb it until it's dead". A grimreaper's self-defence in an anarchist-attack... someone wished to profit on your own death... and that was once the "reception" of another starsigns "strawman"-whore... a "girl" with 110 personalities - and you couldn't remember anyone of them from before. The starsign called himself "Ralf" in a swedish lawyer's so revealing song about a "fifth" birthday. A "Viva la Bam"-warning in Starwars and were you yourself might not be able to imagine to be LESSER than five years old...? But as ZZTop sings it, it'll be over in a minute... if you're a Rough Boy and can "keep it up" or can "enforce it" (the law) as they say. Future will tell... there's an argument of who/what is really a "crown-witness" in this Valley of Darkness/Dark Lord's domains (it's 'origin' as a title then that means). Is it someone who shall "crown" someone, someone who knows currency/ban-king - or the "queen to be" itself (in this case the "wife's wifes", Lucia herself)? Investors for a future "wedding-marsch" are wanted (Dead or Alive) - to walk down an aisle with someone for (atleast) 700 days in a row, to recreate Lucias "two-handed (bw) sword", will need it's financial support/investments during the "process" itself... to make a "wo-mb" noone seen before... a life-rescuer for a womenhood "going down" they say... ...an end and a counter-force towards a head-eating lifestyle (on the women-side) in the future.

How running a fake 'Last Jedi' porg fan account taught me to let go of my anger

I remember the first time I saw a porg, I thought, "I have a bad feeling about this." 

Porgs, a small aquatic alien species native to the planet Ahch-To, debuted earlier this year in a behind-the-scenes video for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. They have been hanging out with Luke Skywalker during his self-imposed exile and who could ask for better companions? 

With their plush, pear-shaped bodies, huge puppy-dog eyes, and cute upturned mouths, it's almost like they were designed to be as cute as possible. Well, that's exactly what they are. They're designed to sell toys, clothing, books, backpacks, mugs, etc. 

SEE ALSO: Everything You Need to Know About Porgs

Some people absolutely loved them. I worried they were too cute, too calculated, too... Disney. Were they the new Jar Jar? The porgs set off my self-entitled nerd radar and planted a seed of doubt in my mind about the upcoming eighth Star Wars installment.

Then, one morning, the seed of doubt sprouted, though I don't know what set me off. It's a weird time for Star Wars fans; after years of being starved for content, we've been promised a new film every year and a virtually unending cycle of hype. Something had to give. On the morning of Nov. 2, I changed my Twitter display name to "Porg Lover," my profile pic to a porg, and my cover photo to the same. 

This is now a porg fan account pic.twitter.com/bNhv6l5aRN

— Bob Al-Greene (@BobAlGreene) November 2, 2017

I was no longer Bob Al-Greene, illustrator at Mashable. I was "the porg lover." I had converted my little-followed (but nonetheless verified) Twitter into a tongue-in-cheek parody of a porg fan account.

I'd had this idea for a few weeks at that point. I probably spend too much time on Twitter, and my timeline has become an endless feed of disturbing political news and breathless nerd culture hype. 

One of my coworkers had done something similar with his Twitter account not long before, dubbing himself the "Rick & Morty creator" in an extended bit about the shameful McDonald's Szechuan Sauce controversy. 

I remember scrolling through my TL, bouncing between stories about the hijacking of our last election and deals on limited edition Funko Pop figures, then something inside me snapped.

Soon I was posting links to porg products with captions like "hell yea," or just typing "porg" into Google Image Search and reposting the first thing that came up.

I found Twitter's GIPHY integration gave me access to a surprisingly rich vein of animated porg content. And like a spice miner on Kessel, I dug in.

I discovered that several hashtags like #PorgNation and #PorgLife already existed, and I started loading my tweets with an obnoxious amount of hashtags to get as many eyes on my content as possible. 

I sought out obscure articles and facts about the puffin-like creatures and tweeted eagerly, pretending that I cared passionately about them.

I'm not proud of what I did. The porg lover was an inherently mean-spirited gesture. I was fueled by an ineffable frustration, and I was mocking anyone who loved the porgs unconditionally. My friends and coworkers suspected something was up. And most wouldn't believe that I had come around to the porgs at last. Others got the joke, even if they didn't approve. 

Either way, I saw engagement start to grow and I got positive feedback from people I had never met, who clearly didn't get my real intention. Why would they? Unlike me, they're normal, decent people.

this account is cool but how are you verified lol

My porg stardom peaked early. By the end of my first day as "the porg lover," I tweeted a picture of the actor Mark Hamill, and tagged him in it. Hamill, who of course portrayed one of the great heroes of my youth and remains a social media hero to this day, quote RT'd me. I was stunned. My mentions exploded, and his RT earned 13,000 likes:

Wholesome porgnography. https://t.co/lYfVoFC7Uf

I could've stopped there. By all rights, I should have. I tweeted about porgs for a day, pretended to love them, and caught the eye – however briefly – of Luke Skywalker himself.

But I didn't stop. I kept tweeting about porgs. Every day. For weeks. 

I kept the bit going, and beat it into the ground. All the while, my follower count rose and I became a permanent citizen of #PorgNation.

I can't say for sure why I continued. I think I was trying to build up a tolerance to porgs, exposing myself to them constantly until they wouldn't bother me anymore. But maybe I just wanted to make everyone else as sick of porgs as I already was. Maybe it was just spiritually freeing to disguise myself as the porg lover, to be free to tweet whatever nonsense I wanted, and to let off some steam in what has been, overall, a pretty stressful year.

Either way, the ongoing porg charade began to wear on me. It strained interpersonal relationships and confounded those around me. It was a good conversation starter at parties ("So, how are the porgs doing?") but when my girlfriend asked why I was doing it and what was the endgame, I didn't have solid answers. Would you have the patience to date "the porg lover?" Especially, when so much of it seemed to originate from such a mean-spirited place. 

My darkest moment came when I posted images of a porg costume I had found on Google. Within hours, a follower reached out to let me know I should have credited the photos to the costume's creator. I was accused of using the porg content for my own benefit without attribution, like the Fat Jew of Star Wars.

I initially scoffed at the message – Didn't they know it was all a joke? – until I realized something. Someone had spent hours creating a porg costume. This person had been inspired enough to plan and execute their design from scratch, and brave enough to post it online for others to see. As a creative, I felt a kinship with – and an admiration of – this true porg lover. 

In that moment, I realized Star Wars means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Few creative properties in the history of the world have touched so many people the way Star Wars has. With legions of fans, every facet of the universe George Lucas helped create has been explored and celebrated, at one point, by someone. Even Jar Jar. Even porgs. 

My transformation into "the porg lover" had been fueled by frustration, by a feeling that porgs were not Star Wars. Or, more specifically, that they were not my Star Wars.

But, newsflash: I don't own Star Wars. It belongs to everyone, and always has. OK, technically it belongs to Disney, but this property, this galaxy, can be for everyone. And that's beautiful.

From that point, I started looking for a way out of the porg identity. But after maintaining a bad bit for a month and a half, how could I transition back to Bob?

It wasn't easy. Feeling guilty over the 300+ new followers I'd accrued as a porg lover, I set out to  alienate my fans as much as possible. Ultimately, over the course of several days last week, I wrenched myself back to normality. 

On Dec. 12, I became "the porg skeptic," loudly voicing concerns that the porgs would not be good. Soon after, I was "a porg in crisis," whose mental state was clearly deteriorating.

This was my "porg-nostic" phase.

On Dec. 14, in the ultimate attempt to squander the goodwill I'd accumulated – and in the midst of the FCC's abominable net neutrality decision – I became "#MAGA porg," a vocal Trump administration supporter/porg fan. 

Again, Twitter's GIF archive was there to help.

Finally, last Friday, before I saw The Last Jedi in theaters, I changed my Twitter account back to regular old Bob Al-Greene. Once again, I can feel secure knowing no one really cares what I have to say on social media. Balance has returned to The Force.

By the way, if you're wondering what I thought about the porgs in the film itself: they're fine. The Last Jedi has a lot of flaws, but the porgs are not among them. The alien fauna at the periphery of the Star Wars saga has always given the films texture and life, and porgs have a proud spot among classic creatures like taun tauns and the rancor beast.

As for me? I'll always be the proudest member.... of #PorgNation. If they'll continue to have me.
