i love seeing people think about all the things percy did for annabeth but we forget a lot of the things she did for him. she trusted percy in SoM to keep her safe while she listened to the sirens song. she gave up immortality as a hunter for him in TTC, long before he did the same in TLO. she broke the rules to sit with percy at dinner in BotL. she entrusted her own quest to percy, even though she had been hoping for it all her life. she was the one speaking at his funeral, not grover, not chiron, she was the one declaring her feelings for him. for hells sake she took a knife for him because she ‘had a feeling’ it was important. she was the one counting down the hours he had been missing is TLH and was the first person off of the Argo II in MoA because she was so worried about percy. she is just as in love with percy as he is with her and the fandom just doesn’t show it.

it’s giving Tired Single Dad™ at the playground watching his toddler from the bench so he doesn’t get hurt

grogu falls down and he just shouts “walk it off buddy”

another child is playing with a toy grogu wants and when he uses the force to get said toy back you hear din from a distance “what did we say about using the force on other kids hm? give it back”

an exasperated “no, don’t eat that”

din dragging grogu from the playground after one too many duel attempts

it would be cool if y’all stopped using mizrahi jews simply existing as a gotcha. like we’re not proof that jews aren’t white — and this excludes ashkenazim, who are not white either and we’re certainly persecuted for Just That in recent memory. we’re not proof that israel oppresses “brown people”; the situation for mizrahim and more recently ethiopians in israel is a lot more complex than your american, western minds can comprehend. we’re also not your “unproblematic” flavor of judaism, just “oriental” enough to be palatable to non-jews that don’t see jews as middle eastern, a tool for ashkenazim to distance themselves from ashkenazi culture and history (which is beautiful and diverse already!!!). we were not besties with muslims and christians until the big bad z-word came along, we suffered in the Diaspora too and this deserves to be commemorated and taught to the world. stop using our existence to prove a point.

would you still love me if we were Same-Gendered Best Friends who are the main characters of a Piece of Media, in which I have been deeply in love with you ever since we met, but you already have an Opposite-Gendered Alleged Love Interest whom you don't love, so, even though The Audience is aware that there's something special going on between us, they overlook it as platonic love, even though, at least in my case, it is glaringly obvious that I feel deeply for you, however, since you have your assigned Alleged Love Interest, they don't assume the same is true in your case, even if it's as clear, or even more so, that my feelings are reciprocated by you, thus, I just seem like a desperate Homosexual Same-Gendered Best Friend with a one-sided crush, and even if our Creator wanted to make us end up together, this wouldn't be possible, given the fact that the only socially acceptable way to have queer people being protagonists in a piece of media is if it solely narrates their experiences and hardships as Existing Homosexuals, explicitly announcing that it contains queer topics and nothing else, and since our Piece Of Media narrates a different story that doesn't revolve around homosexuality, The Audience doesn't agree with our relationship being a fundamental part of the plot, consequently we end up being doomed by a cishet narrative that minimizes us as characters and inaccurately represents queer people, thereby giving visibility to harmful stereotypes about the lgbtq community, and also disappointing thousands of our fans who just hoped to see people like them having a complex relationship in a piece of media like our Piece Of Media for once?

would you?

dash: so you see, fentoenail, the key to getting max hypertrophy comes down to a few things. first, the obvious, is progressive overload. now, when you do that, you want to focus on the science-based lifting as much as possible, but saying that i really do think ego lifting has a bad rap. you know, sometimes it's okay to just ego lift for that sweet sweet pump. because you're not gonna get swole if you're not motivated, u know? now, i can tell u dont do this because you're such a dweeb, but diet is also important. everything from taking preworkout for that energy boost, and then after the workout making sure to make a protein shake and throw some creatine in there too. creatine is great for muscle recovery, which you'll need because you'll be back in the gym the next day—obviously—but protein is also key because it's what builds your muscles. since i already know you're not eating any protein, i'll just tell you right now that you should probably get some whey powder and start supplementing. now, when you're making your workout program, there's a few ways you can go about it— danny: if i knew that getting revealed would have lead to this conversation, i would never have revealed myself. ever.

One of my favorite things about the Marauders fandom is that we upgraded our characters so hard.

R.A.B? No. His names is Reggie and he's a troubled, probably depressed 17 year old who's brother left him and parents are abusive. He has two best friends, Evan and Barty, who are madly in love. His other best friend, Pandora, is the only person who knows everything about him and would probably do anything for him if he asked. He's gay and likes James and has so much depth as a character that at this point i don't think a movie version would every do us justice. He hates the quiet but if anyone so much as speaks, he'll hex you into next week. He wasn't running from Voldemort, he was chasing death. He died with no one knowing what he had done to help the world.

Marlene McKinnon, the girl version of Sirius Black with the hair that captivates all her lovers? Fuck no. She's a badass in her own way. Her hair is died blonde, not natural. It's choppy and layered and most people fucking hate it. She's ruthless in quidditch and could probably give James a run for his money with how hard she trains. Speaking of Jamie, he's one of her best friends. Along with Peter, who ends up killing her after betraying the order in 81. She's in love with Dorcas now, but Mary was her gay awakening. She never liked Sirius, she was jealous of all the girls he got. She hates conflict but has a quick temper. She died by the hands of one of best friends and the love of her life fought for her till she died because that's how good of a person Marlene was.

Hi Jana, little question for you, which pictures of Pedro do you think have the most "boyfriend" vibes?

hi anon!! 🫶🏻 that is an excellent question, tell me, how much time do you have? 😌 because…

Because the “shrodinger’s queerbait” nonsense will never go away, indulge me an analogy (and a long post).

wlw ships are the “made from scratch” cake in a world where we only ever expect cake mix from the box.

Say you have a show where, in the first interaction between a male and female character, there is a red box. It could be a Betty Crocker box of cake mix. Because all it takes is just one smile — one wink — one raised eyebrow— and the fans don’t question it. We’re clearly making a cake here. The box is red.

Meanwhile, you have two female characters building their own relationship that have elements that could build to romance. There are eggs in the fridge. A few more episodes, there’s flour in the pantry. Sugar. Baking powder. Queer fans start whispering…we could be making a cake here. Other fans scoff “you will read into anything. They’re just eggs! Everyone has eggs in their fridge!” Maybe so, maybe not. They are written off as discrete ingredients, nothing to see here.

That red box is still sitting in the pantry. Obviously we’re going with that one, and it’s definitely cake mix. That guy and girl stood next to each other again.

The wlw relationship is now full-on batter. It was a cake recipe all along, but it’s not baked yet. The crowd that wrote off every ingredient is now saying the writers are just going to “squander” that box that could be ready-made cake mix or that they’re being “forced” to bake a cake with the very ingredients the writers deliberately bought and put in their pantry.

Now it’s in the oven, the cake is baking. That crowd will still insist it’s forced, or maybe its actually something else, or it’s rushed, or it’s pandering. Whether the writers painstakingly built a pantry to make the cake they truly wanted or they were cultivating good ingredients and realized they had the fixings for a more decadent cake and went there, it doesn’t matter. It’s still a recipe. One that fans who always have to piece together ingredients had hoped for or saw from the get-go, despite being scoffed at and disparaged. Just because that crowd didn’t see (or refused to see) those ingredients as part of a whole, doesn’t make it any less of a recipe.

And wlw fans shouldn’t have to keep writing essays to demonstrate that the wlw “cake” has all the ingredients every cake mix does, or keep pointing out that fans were ready to believe a cake was being baked when they saw a nondescript box, but that they’ll do anything to discredit or doubt the cake from scratch that’s now cooling off on the counter.

It is partly a function of heteronormativity from the audience in immediately seeing romance in any whisper of interaction between m/f characters and passing off all charged interactions between female characters are sisterly or platonic. And it also comes from writers, who are either being cautious so as not to spook corporate overlords or audiences, or who are preserving plausible deniability.

To take the analogy further, box cake mix is fine! It works! It is, practically speaking, what a lot of folks know by default. I thought I was a Duncan Hines girl once myself. Vanilla cake mix has the ingredients measured out, it’s a safe bet, it tastes like cake.

But it doesn’t mean every red box is cake mix. And it doesn’t make the cake that had to be pieced together from scratch due to censorship, caution, time, narrative build-up, what-have-you, any less of a cake.

Age of the Batch

This has been on my mind lately

Getting a few things out of the way. None of their wookiepedia pages state how old they are (not given a BBY year). If you simply look up their ages, it places Omega at 12 years (which is confirmed unless I dreamt that), and the batch at 13 (which is incorrect). We also know the oldest clones are 13 (26) by the end of the war.

Omega is older than the batch; Which crosses out the possibility of them being 13/Gen Ones. This means the oldest they could be is 12 (24) by the end of the war. We also know Omega was old enough to remember seeing the mutations of the batch get enhanced. So the question arose of what was the youngest age Omega could consciously remember that and also be an effective lab assist? Around three or four would be the youngest.

When Omega is explaining to the batch, she tells them '...sent to be with the other clones.' Does this infer they went back to their growth jars in those giant rooms, or out consciously? Since we know Omega is able to remember their mutations being done, that means the batch did not initially have all their mutations and had to be modified later in development. (Which complicates things based on the nature of how genetic mutations work). But that's a lot to get into at this moment and I'll spare you that rant because maker I could go on.

If the oldest the batch could be is 12, that would mean their got their mutations at age 2 (4) at the earliest. However, I feel like there is an emphasis on Omega being older than them, not the same age. We can infer the batch did not join the war right away because of the time of their introduction.

I feel it is more likely for the batch to be closer to 11 (22) by the end of the war. That would place them at 8 (16) years at the start of the war, and maybe they didn't make their debut in the war until a year later at 9 (18). This also puts Omega at a standard 4 years older, this makes the most sense because then she would be old enough to remember them being created and getting genetically enhanced during a time in development that's actually scientifically feasible.

If they were making their marks as extremely effective soldiers, who's to say they weren't rushed off to war prematurely. It is said in The Clone Wars that young clones were rushed into service before their 10-year training span was up, and the batch was likely a part of those groups.

a lot of people act like sqq’s main character trait is obliviousness and i could not disagree more

[simpjaes]

would looove to hear ur take on innocent things that turn perv!jay on bcuz he can’t help but pop a boner over every little thing like pushing your hair to one shoulder, wearing crop tops that show belly, stuff like that

▸ fat tits bulging out of your bra on accident.

▸ thighs being shown whether you're wearing a dress, a skirt, shorts, or pants that chaffed enough to have holes in the inner thigh (esp that one actually)

▸ pulling your hair up at any point, or even just holding it out of your face bc he will immediately want a blow job.

▸ eating cherries.

▸ the typical sucking of suckers, popsicles, and any other candy/sweet substance and makes you pucker your lips.

▸ sticky lips, like lipgloss and chapstick. makes him want you to rub his pre-cum across ur lips and wear it proudly sdkjhfkjsd

▸ going into the bathroom after you've taken a shower. idk why but i think he'd probably 100% jerk off in the steam and lose himself in the scent of your soaps and lotions

▸ tights with snags / holes in them. will wanna push his fingers through the hole just to feel your skin.

▸ your reacting to him paying for stuff. ajkshfjsdhfkjsd
