[libra-stellium]

As a shopaholic my goal is to save between 10-15k by January 1st 2024 and the first withdrawal to my savings just came out… lol

Journal Entry - 4.8.2024

I've adjusted my 2024 Savings Plan. Instead of withdrawing the cash and placing it into an envelope each week, I'm just going to transfer it to one of the savings accounts. I'll admit it: I'm too lazy to drive all the way up to my bank each week. I hate standing out in the open while I withdraw my money and stuffing it into an envelope. Makes me crazy. I'd rather just do everything digitally. I'm still going to aim for $6,000 by the end of the year in savings. For sure. I haven't missed a withdraw date yet and there hasn't been any negative impact to my personal funds. All is going well.

SPREADSHEET OF PALESTINIAN ESCAPE FUNDS‼️TIME SENSITIVE

Operation Olive Branch is a continuously updating spreadsheet of Palestinian escape funds where progress towards their goals is being tracked. As of right now, there are over 100 funds listed there.

Any amount of money can make a difference. With their recent decision to bomb Rafah, the only remaining “safe” territory in Gaza, Israel has forced Palestinians into a corner by giving them nowhere else to go. The international community has given Israel the ability to act with impunity - it is long past the point in time to rely on those in power to hold Israel to any standard of compassion.

Today, I want you to look at this document, choose a fund, contribute to it, and share it. The people in Rafah are living on borrowed time. Free Palestine.

I love it when pre Original Trilogy era shows how much effort went into making the Death Star. It took decades, literal decades, and it took so much money and so many people and it was such a secretive thing and it’s staffed by millions because it’s the size of a small moon.

I cannot express how much all of the added information makes it so much funnier that Luke blew it up.

Luke destroys literally everything Palpatine built. He blows up the Death Star, which was referenced in universe as early as the second movie. He blew up the weapon of mass destruction twenty years in the making. And he blew it up pretty much directly after it’s first and only successful attack. It was operational for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that Palpatine had the thing he’d been building for longer than Luke has been alive, and Luke blows it up. First day retirement, but first hour retirement.

Luke convinces Darth Vader to turn back to the light side, a feat thought literally impossible by literally everybody. Sidious clearly doesn’t see Vader’s betrayal coming. Vader’s betrayal was not in his plans, nor was it something he was prepared for. Sidious is a powerful Force user with all four limbs while Vader is a man in the tin can Palpatine put him in. If Palpatine had seen Vader turning coming, he would not have allowed it to happen.

Luke literally should not even be alive. Palpatine almost definitely got Padme out of the way on purpose, and he almost certainly was trying for her unborn child as well (there was way too big of a risk that a cute liddol bebe would bring some humanity back to Anakin, and Palpatine did not want Anakin to have any humanity) Luke living is literally the first step in Palpatine’s ultimate downfall, especially once Vader finds out that Luke is his son. His very alive son. His son that is not dead, despite Palpatine claiming Anakin killed Padme. Implying that Anakin killed Padme and she posthumously gave birth. But, she didn’t give birth on Mustafar, which was the last place Anakin interacted with her. And once the mother dies, you have to get those fuckers out fast or they die too.

I imagine Darth Vader piecing all of this together is that meme with all the math floating around his head, because how could Padme have died by his hand and then given birth like two hours later?

Luke killing Palpatine is what ultimately leads to the dissolution of the Empire as an omnipotent entity. Luke killed the Empire. Luke spends a good amount of his adult life killing Empire remnants. We see that in the Mandalorian, since he’s so recognizable that Gideon immediately knows he’s fucked just by seeing an X-wing. We read it in Legends’ continuity, where Luke terrifies Imperials because he can walk into their changing room and stand in their for a minute and they don’t even notice.

Luke destroyed Palpatine’s life’s work. Everything Palpatine spent his whole life working towards, and Luke kills all of it. He blows up not one, but two Death Stars (he may not have pulled the trigger on the second Death Star, but without him, it never would have been destroyed). He convinces not one, but multiple Sith and Dark Jedi to return from the Dark Side. He is the only reason that Obi-Wan Kenobi, the biggest pain in Palpatine’s ass ever born, lives long enough to make it to the Death Star.

Palpatine went through so much effort. And just when he had finally won, when he finally had a weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast, making it impossible for any planets or peoples to go against him, Luke shows up nineteen years late to the Jedi party with space Starbucks and a droid twice his age and almost singlehandedly destroys everything Palpatine ever had a hand in creating.

Luke manages to become even worse than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate thorn in the side of politicians, and Luke doesn’t even understand any politics. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy like Obi-Wan and Leia, no, he’s a farmboy who left home for the first time in his entire life, just this morning. And he is the one to destroy the Empire.

If they rewrote Star Wars and had it entirely from Palpatine’s perspective, Luke Skywalker would be his greatest foe. Luke Skywalker would be the final boss. Luke Skywalker is the antithesis of everything Palpatine believes in and he is the one character that Palpatine cannot predict. He isn’t as moldable as Anakin, he doesn’t respond to threats very well, he’s apparently impossible to kill via Force lightning (still the funniest scene of all times, the progression of Palpatine’s face falling and him looking like “what the fuck??? Is this kid rubber??? I’ve electrocuted him eight times???”), his unwavering faith in his father’s goodness makes Darth Vader want to be a better person, Luke Skywalker is the big bad of Palpatine’s story and—

There is nothing in this world that is funnier than someone’s biggest antagonist being Luke fucking Skywalker. Luke Skywalker, who saved the galaxy with the power of love and who shouldn’t exist, by Jedi rules and by Palpatine’s own attempts, and whose best friends are literally droids, which Palpatine canonically hates!

Everything about this is hilarious, this is the funniest thing in all of media, Palpatine loses absolutely everything to some backwater farmboy who fucking likes droids.

me and the bad bitch I pulled by being silly goofy

anddddd the reference

[buggachat]

imagine, say, Bunnyx went back to Origins Season 1 and pulled Gabriel aside as he was considering picking up the Hawkmoth mantle and showed him, "Look, Gabriel. If you continue on this path, you WILL succeed in getting the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculous. You WILL make a wish. But getting there will tear you apart. You will lose what humanity you have, you will literally rot away from the inside, spend the last months of your life in agonizing pain, Nathalie and Adrien (the only two people in your life you can even pretend to care about) will spit on your name and Nathalie will grow to despise you so much she will attempt to kill you. And your wish? It will NEVER bring Emilie back. You won't even be able to bring yourself to do it, because you'll realize that you've become everything that she hated and never wanted you to be. Emilie WILL STAY DEAD, and in the end, all you will be able to wish for is an end to your now-miserable life. All this gamble will win you is your grave."

idk I just don't think Gabriel's response to that would be "oh yay! I win!"

Honestly so sweet (in a sad way) that Link was getting sucked into Eeby Deeby and his last action was making sure to crack Zelda's prison so she at least had a chance to escape :')

[evelili]

Had another one of "YOU HAVE TO DRAW NOW" moments

I actually did the scene above on my second try of the battle, lv 90 doesn't exactly make it easy to lose

Also I think it's time to show those sketches too

The Siffrin practice once more, but this time a bit earlier

Also first try on figuring Loop's full body ref too

Also this little thing, not as polished as digital would've been

Imagine my reaction when I accidentally gave Loop a flower after trying already and they accepted it. I adored that 'yeah we won't speak of this, but I accept your stupid flower' scene more than anything and it was pure text after little scene

obSESSED with your ‘Sif is out’ AU in the best way possible and thinking about it constantly

I was looking at your most recent art for it and noticed that Siffrin isn’t poking his tongue out anymore in the last picture (EVERYONE ELSE GETTING MORE WORN DOWN HURT ME VERY DEEPLY) but my first thought was he’s definitely noticed something is wrong and is leaning into their funny jokes person identity harder in an attempt to cheer everyone else up

Thank you!! I'm so happy you're having fun with this AU too :D

AND YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! One of my goals in this AU will be to show how Siffrin's mood is EXTREMELY dependent on his family's mood, so if everyone changes their approach with him, he will considerably change too.

It's subtle, but from the first to the second picture, the light in Siffrin's eyes already grows dim. This sad creature may be oblivious, but they are going through it still.

I will do a big comic of the main effects that being out of the loop (pun intended) will do to them later but I have a silly comic (that will hopefully be done tonight when my shift ends) and the pineapple comic (cause that option will absolutely win the poll, i don't even need to wait for it to end to know) before dropping the angsty out of the loop one.

this is very rambly but- THANK YOU! I APPRECIATE THE LOVE!

Journal Entry - 3/4/2024

So, I've adjusted how I'm going to withdrawing money each week for the 2024 Savings Plan. The goal each month is to put away $500, with money being withdrawn each Monday. Now, some months have five Mondays while other only have four, so the amount I withdraw will not always be the same each week. One a week with four Mondays, I'll withdrawn $140 the first time and then $120 the next three times ($140 + ($120 * 3)) = $500. The months that have five Mondays, each withdraw will only be $100. Let's do some easy math: $500/month * 12 months = $6,000/year. I'd much rather that number be $10,000 per year, but I do not think I can pull that off at the moment. Maybe one day. ($10,000 / 12 months = $833 per month = $208 each Monday (4) or $166 each Monday (5)).

Help My Family Survive and Find Safety in Gaza

Dear friends and merciful people

Imagine losing everything that is dear to you in one day. This is the harsh reality that my family is facing in Gaza. I am is Wael Alserr, and I communicate with you with a heart full of pain and a desperate call for help.

On July 28, 2024, my world crashed when my wife and daughter were tragically killed during an attack on the tent displaced in the safe areas of Muwasi Khan Yunis, as the Israeli occupation claims. Our family of seven has been destroyed - my wife , my only daughter and four son. Now, we are only five people, struggling to survive under horrific conditions.

Our home has been completely demolished and homeless. In addition, my father has the only source of income that supports us, as we have been displaced several times, and every transition strips us of stability and hope. One day the walls were safe, leaving the survivors' family in a temporary tent, holding on to hope amid their broken dreams.

We desperately need your support to survive and eventually evacuate from Gaza. Your donations will provide basic supplies, help us secure safer living conditions, and help evacuate efforts. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a big difference in our battle for survival.

Your donation and sharing of our story will greatly help us build our lives, provide the necessary protection for all of us, and provide the main necessities of life, including food, treatment, and basics.

Thank you for your kindness and standing with us during this critical time.

With sincere appreciation,

Wael Alserr,

I attach these photos and videos to you, because they convey my story more realistically.

"Dark Beginnings" brings up something that was likely implied before but I never considered, which is that Shadow didn't share Maria's fascination with Earth.

Maria would often tell Shadow about Earth's beauty but he never returned the enthusiasm, he only cared about curing his sister. Besides, the ARK was all he had ever known.

So of course Shadow's disinterest towards Earth turns into hatred after the GUN incident, and his revenge is only stopped thanks to Maria's memory. Even in the present, you could argue Shadow doesn't care for Earth very much.

Northern Gaza is being exterminated , and it is happening in terrifying silence, 🤫 as if the world has been struck mute in the face of the systematic genocide carried out by the most horrific means. Children 👦 are torn from their mothers’ arms, homes are destroyed over the heads of their inhabitants, and bodies disappear beneath the rubble, while the global conscience slowly dies. Where are the voices of humanity? How can the world remain silent while a people are crushed under relentless bombardment, surrounded by death on all sides?

Silence in the face of this is complicity in the crime. The bombs 💣 raining down on Gaza do not just tear apart its homes and the bodies of its people; they tear apart the remnants of humanity that still cling to life. What is happening in northern Gaza is not a battle; it is an attempt to erase existence, uproot history, and extinguish an entire way of life. In the face of this blatant injustice, silence 🤐 becomes an unforgivable crime, and life in this land becomes a continuous testimony to cruelty that knows no mercy and no bounds.

Every passing minute, a child 👧 screams, a mother 👩 weeps, a family disappears. How can the world accept, or even bear, this ongoing misery? What blinds humanity to these massacres? History will not forget, nor will it forgive, this silence. 🤫
