[ID: The first image is a full body digital drawing of Marina Ida from Splatoon in a motorcycle racing suit with black boots and gloves. The suit is mostly black with bright mint green accents. There are patches with octopus symbols on the shoulders. There are big zippers on the front of the jacket and sides of the shoes with a cut out eight symbol. She stands with one hand on the back of her head and a motorcycle helmet tucked under her other arm. She tilts her head to the side and grins. The background is white with a horizontal pale green rectangle behind her head. The signature "squidthusiast" is written on the rectangle. To the left is a small headshot drawing of Pearl blushing and staring at Marina with wide eyes going "ouhhh~"

The following two images are screenshots of Tumblr tags that read "Pearl can't see over Marina on the bike so she gets a small side car attachment like in Wallace and Gromet" and "she should have a bike with a sidecar for pearl".

The next image is a digital drawing of Marina on her motorcycle and Pearl sitting in a sidecar attached to it. They are both wearing motorcycle racing suits with the shoulder patches described in the previous drawing. Marina is wearing a helmet with her tentacles poking out from under it, and Pearl is wearing goggles. She is smiling. The drawing is not fully colored, Marina is colored turquoise and Pearl is colored pink while everything else is gray.

The final image is another drawing of the two of them on the motorcycle. Pearl has her fists raised and is excitedly saying, "So cool!" Marina is looking down at her and gripping the handlebar tightly. Behind her is a drawing of herself crying and clutching her face with the words "WHY IS SHE SO CUTE I'M UNWELL" next to her. End ID]

I think we as a society need more Marina in motorcycle gear

what is it about those extra minutes that brings out your game? ah, I don't know, it's just. I think it's just. Feel a little better when you play more, your legs more hard, your body, you know? And you're just. More in the game.

Blatantly reposting this without OP's very self-righteous condescending language that sure would alienate anyone I know who's on the fence!

More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads. 

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

The letter describes an “awful situation where only flawed choices are available.”

“In our view, it is crystal clear that allowing the fascist Donald Trump to become President again would be the worst possible outcome for the Palestinian people. A Trump win would be an extreme danger to Muslims in our country, all immigrants, and the American pro-Palestine movement,” the letter states.

You can read the letter in full and add your name to those who have signed.

Okay. The stars might be aligning today. Something might be working out in my favor and, perhaps, I can finally bring y'all in on. the absolute shenanigans that have finally taken shape between Alucren and Tyr.

Incredibly strong urge to ID him as 'the bastard man in question,' but. look, he is. I wouldn't exactly be wrong.

Anyway, in an attempt to be brief, Alucren is recruited to Imperial Intelligence when the class story's already kicked off. He's maybe three years older than Tyr and I need to establish now that that does not mean he's the older sibling. This will make sense in a minute. Perhaps.

So, he's designated Cipher Eleven and, largely, he knows Tyr by reputation as Cipher Nine, but they don't. really interact directly until they're some of the limited survivors of ImpIntel's fallout and Alucren becomes Tyr's Class-A Nuisance in Sith Intelligence. Eleven fucks with Nine because somebody's gotta see the guy loosen up, he argues. Which is hilarious because out of the two of them, Alucren is the one with the largely unbending loyalty to the Empire and the Sith.

[Everyone be thankful he wasn't the main subject of the Imperial Agent storyline. I don't think he'd survive the winter. Definitely not with his pretty aviator sunglasses in-tact about the galaxy and how it works, at least.]

The code I've cracked about this is that it is a largely one-sided mess fueled mostly by a lot of insecurities on Alucren's part. He's the only son of four children, and as loving as that family set up was, he still feels a responsibility to his family's name and legacy [and they have quite a long one in service to Imperial domestic interests; sidebar, Alucren's kind of a walking encyclopedia of Imperial history because of this. Let him take you on a museum date and tell you historical fun facts. Enrichment!]

And Nine has a whopping reputation as being one of the best Ciphers Imperial Intelligence ever trained. Of course, Alucren isn't... in on how much that also essentially turned Tyr's life inside out and wrung it out like a dish towel, but, hey! Details! And Alucren is, in a word, stubborn. And maybe a little competitive. And not all that certain of his own position in the service.

So, what's a guy to do but develop a homoerotic, one-sided rivalry with his essentially boss given Tyr's sort of right-hand man status to Lana? It's totally straight to think, "yeah, bet if I kissed him, that'd shut him up," right? Right! According to Alucren.

[oh honey you got a big storm coming, son]

Tyr is, largely, either willfully or just blatantly kinda... not on the same page about this. At least in Sith Intelligence. Alucren's whole attitude bit is a little grating, but Tyr's a professional and. mostly can afford to set aside the inconvenience of dealing with Alucren's smartassery to get their respective jobs done.

And then, in really short summary, the plot keeps happening. Alucren may or may not develop a bit of a crush on a Sith he starts serving [a smoking hot certain Wrath of the Emperor belonging to @hyrohkaah] (congratulations on the bisexuality Alucren!!!). It takes. a while for Alucren to really sus any of this whole Deal out about himself because he's very image-oriented. He has a Presentation to maintain about himself. Luckily for him, Tyr's a perceptive little shit and. eventually also not above throwing some of his stupid shenanigans back at his face.

Ultimately, there isn't any romantic attraction between these two fools, but Alucren still likes to take Tyr's patience and control for a spin around the block for the thrills and Tyr occasionally yanks back just as hard for the amusement. Sometimes this looks a lot more like indignant siblings arguing over their LegoCity build that's taken up the basement floor and sometimes it means are they flirting or fighting and the answer is yes.

And I'm also going to say Alucren's loyalty becomes... a lot more interesting for that sort of healed relationship between him and Tyr. :3 Alucren's a man that will always call the Empire home, so he'll probably end up serving it the rest of his life. But he also knows Nine is not a man to do anything by halves, and he does nothing without extremely good reason. And it'd just be a shame if I made them confront the possibility of shooting at each other. I mean. >.>

Spoiler alert: Alucren's probably not anywhere near as certain of his ability to follow through with that threat as he'd like to be. It'd surprise both of them, honestly. But you didn't hear that from me.

Anyway. He's a bit of a loser, actually, and I love him. Insultingly and affectionately. He's just.... a little like my pathetically sopping wet greasy alley rat. Unfortunately, he's adorable. And if someone punched him, he'd probably still deserve it.

And that, my friends, is the insane Tom & Jerry shit that has consumed me in the last two weeks or so about Alucren and Tyr. I'd usually say thanks for coming to my TED Talk, but this man's ego is already the broadside of a Destroyer in size and we just don't need to encourage that.

at the risk of sounding butthurt for talking about not being butthurt: going through quals really prepared me for trawling through fandom meta and research while keeping my zen

syd's streams are a double-edged sword bc they're just small enough where chatting is fun and interactive and syd will actually respond to what you type but they're just big enough where there's at least one creep every stream who can't help but say smthn intentionally fucked up or parasocial or bigoted (sometimes in a dono so she has to see it) and witnessing it makes me SO UPSET

church rummage sales are the greatest thing ever and i will die on this hill. they've got the cheapest shit i've ever seen in my life AND you get to catch up on all the gossip you don't care about. kurt cut janice out of the will. barb is thinking about moving in with dennis, now that her poor john (god rest his soul) has been dead for five years. andie's grandson had triplets.
