Love how literally on graduation day life decided to go "lol ok here's the scariest day you'll ever experience in your school years"

There was a chp training nearby, we heard the gun shots, I thought they were fireworks, and then we were sent into a lock down. Not a drill, full lock down. We're still hiding in a classroom, but we know we're ok now. But WOW THANK YOU CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, THAT WAS SOOOK APPRECIATED

anyone else think that kavetham and shiguang are just alternate versions of each other or is it just me?

[tbhimnoteasyonmyself]

Pheejin nation we rise again (?)

[moxpunk]

the fact that one of my girlfriend's posts about me and my appearance has like 16k notes on it makes me feel utterly euphoric about the way i look

[asheanon]

The secretly spooky specters, Sal and Sey indeed.~

Why must snow be the symbol for the ephemeral? Do not flowers also wilt and wither?

Tawni Ames

Tawni Ames has a very interesting design

She’s the governor of Desix but is dressed in a fairly simple, understated style, suggesting that she’s maybe not the sort to lord her status over her people, and might be more of an appointed representative than a controlling overlord.

She also has a cool looking vacuum sealed hat complete with antennas. Maybe the civilian equivalent of a scout trooper helmet? Good for keeping dust and external sounds out, but any radio signals nice and clear inside as well as preventing them being overheard externally. I’d love to know what she did for a day job that required that hat, and I love that we got to appreciate the cool sound effect it made when she put it on.

But it’s unusual that we got such a lingering look at her smoking body. Taun We died but was only shown from a distance, We saw Rampart shoot, but Wilco’s falling body was only seen from a distance, Wrecker popped a trooper in ep 1 but we didn’t see where he hit him, only a body slumped against the equipment.

We had a perfectly good view of Ames lying on the floor before the angle changed, but they chose to give us a really good look at the smoke rising from her chest as Cody looked down at her.

Which is unusually graphic for a show with a 6+ age rating, don’t you think?

So, given that there's almost zero chance that they'd actually show a relatively close up view of a smoking corpse in a 6+ rated show it means that Tawni Ames isn't really dead, we're just supposed to assume that she is because distraction has been used in all aspects of this show from the very start. Forewarned of what was coming her way from the privacy of her radio hat, and knowing that the Empire were never going to take no for an answer anyway because she clearly isn’t a complete idiot, Crosshair shot her with a low power bolt from his adjustable output rifle, as arranged. He ‘happened’ to be just offscreen, slighty behind and to the side of Cody, while he adjusted the settings, and the panicking Grotty wasn’t likely to notice anything but the immediate threat to himself and the indignation of his situation. He was too busy wriggling and complaining to notice much. And besides, all of the focus was on Cody because he was doing all of the talking.

The shot fired was strong enough to burn her clothes but not enough to do her any major damage. All she then has to do is play dead until the coast is clear. I’m sure a fake corpse can be arranged for the town square without too much difficulty. It isn’t like Cody or Crosshair are likely to be the ones actually carrying that order out, not when there are plenty of townspeople around to make do the job. In order for him to fulfil his Kallus-esque proto-Fulcrum role that they’ve been hinting at with all the subtlety of Wrecker body slamming into a group of battle droids, someone has to get word out there that he's not actually an Empire crony but an infiltrator in their midst, and who better than a person he directly helped even while the Empire looked on, and who's supposed to be dead already so no one is going to be watching that they do.

.

Remember that he’s supposed to get two ‘really strong’ episodes to himself prior to the finale.

So won’t the next one be thrilling!

Cant believe the only one I havent consume is "The most dangerous game"

“Squid Game is just a rip-off of Hunger Games/Battle Royale/the first death game story I personally ever watched!!!”

“No it isn’t! And anyway, Hunger Games/Battle Royale/the first death game story you personally ever watched is actually a rip-off of the first death game story I personally ever watched!!!”

“No it isn’t…!!!”

Enough. Death games are a goddamn subgenre. Some are better than others, yes, but no one owns the concept any more than the writers of Groundhog Day own time loops. I am so bored of seeing this argument every time a new death game story gets popular

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl
