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.

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.

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.

[cleo-serotonin]

was it casual when i touched your face and called you baby in front of everyone at my dad’s birthday party even when none of the canon couples in the show ever called each other baby? was it casual when i pulled you out of a trance like state when you ran off to an island in the middle of the night because you accidentally hurt me and were terrified you might do it again? was it???

[thekayart]

When people say peeta is weak, I feel you should see the facts that show you otherwise! I mean this boy has had his heart stop three times! And in in the quell he comes out of an RCP, and he had to inmediately keep running for his life! His heart stopped! You know where people go after coming out a heart arrest? Intensive care! And they stay hospitalized for days. And just to say that most people just don’t come out of that. So yeah, this is the strongest boy, end.
