Here's the thing about Jareth from Labyrinth right?

He's made up.

That's not necessarily the same thing as not REAL. But he, just like all her friends who show up in her room before her adventure as toys and figurines, exist in relation to her, in response to what she wanted and needed. She told the story and there he was, there he always had been. But she's a teenage girl who doesn't know what she wants yet, and Jareth kind of pays the price.

"but the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and had given her certain powers." He's an archetypal oxymoron. He's both the dastardly baby stealing villain and the royal love interest trying to relieve the heroine's suffering, Cinderella style. He's fucked either way by being both. She doesn't know if SHE wants to be the villain or the heroine until he shows up and then she decides on the heroine, so he has to sneer and menace and challenge but it's too late for him!! it's too late, The King Of The Goblins Had Fallen In Love With the Girl, he's Cinderella's prince too and he has to try, he gives her a poofy dress and takes her to fucking goblin prom, sweeps her around the room like a music box with perfect posture and room for Jesus.

But it doesn't work buddy, it can't work. You're just a story for a teen girl to grow up in, and as the villain you have to be defeated. He's so complex because his tropes contradict themselves, and he doesn't understand why he has to lose when he was only doing the job he was given. In his last scene he is pale as death with shadows under his eyes, backing away and begging for his happy ending with nonsense mishmash promises that belong to both halves of him.

"I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me." I'm sure you are, Jareth. No wonder.

Ive learned to much about pickles in 2 minutes then my whole life

kogoeru

SO

Dill is not a specific brand of pickle. Dill is an herb, and an INCREDIBLY popular herb to use when pickling cucumbers.

(According to my research a Kosher pickle needs garlic, salt, and vinegar. Kosher Dill is just a ‘garlic, salt, vinegar, and dill’ flavor, and does not necessary mean it’s actually Kosher.)

I dislike dill pickles intensely, and am going to henceforth learn how to make super strong garlic pickled cucumbers because I desire the cromch.

ALSO!! There’s several techniques for pickling! The main two are 'fermentation’ pickling, and vinegar 'fridge’ pickles. Fridge pickles are faster iirc, but fermented pickles are stronger (and require more checking. Good Eats had a great episode on this!) Both 'American Pickle Season 3 Episode 1, and Dill-icious Season 11 Episode 8 :3

I’ve made kimchi before, so I’m not too scared.

evilminji asked:

You know that "assigned clone buddy" au? What if...? When they they were like "okay jedi cadets, now you gotta pick a clone cadet. Partner up." (As some sort clones integration into the Order? Maybe Yoda found the Clones and kicked ass? Took his 3 million new grandchildren and went home? "Good news, it is! Friends, we now have!")

(Cause like... gonna be A LOT fewer dead jedi, with a trooper there, ready to scruff their dumb asses and tell um its Time To GO ™)

But like??? IMAGINE! Sassy Kenobi. Smol and filled with biting. Radiating "YOUR not the BOSS of me" Energy (Politely, somehow). Who does he pick? Ask he stares up at this ABSOLUTE WALL of violence and muscles? Mr. Resting >:( face himself? (Cause obviously the Alphas are gonna be in charge of paring up jedis and clones. They don't TRUST like that. Background checks for EVERYBODY!)

Well... OBVIOUSLY the lil shit is gonna point at him.

You! I'ma gonna pick You~☆ ( ˙˘˙)⸝

......you lil shit (≖_≖ ) the audacity

(You know, you don't HAVE too. We can take hi-) (back off! Mine!)

And like? Obviously he can't KEEP him. Alpha-17 is basically a Clone Councilor. Plus Obi-Wan needs... *various alphas checks notes, trying to head this nightmare off at the pass* "socialization with peers" and shit. Assign him a cadet!

Alpha-17, territorial and neurotic: fiiiiine. *finds the most Equally Batshit Cadet he can*

Just? Let um cause problems! Even in the most happily(?) Ever after scenario! Cold War between Cody and Alpha-17! Because that's NEVER not funny. Actual jedi having to stop this man from trying to literally Fight A Child. Cody being the monster of his own creation. Ha! He is STEALING the Obi-Wan, old man! *mocking gestures*

(Obi-Wan's just happy everyone's getting along)

worm-strung-string answered:

There’s no assigned buddies what they actually do is trap all the kids in a more intense version of an indoor play ground, which yes are already very intense and kids resort to violence and survival instincts their ancestors used but MORE SPACE and eventually kids pair off or make little clicks ya know?

And Im wanting to enjoy giving the Alpha’s some childishness, everyone was little once

So in my instant mind Obi-wan would likely think the Alphas were being harsh or bullied by jedi youngling standards and his own grievances against bullies and his own behaviours mean he PICKS A FIGHT WITH THEM and he holds his ground pretty good so begrudgingly the like him, or well Alpha-17 likes this imaginary game of “anything you can do I can do better” he has but his version of better is definitely just “anything you can do I can do with a gun and a little bit of creativity” but he’s not allowed guns in the temple so he has to show off and prove he’s not even the best choice but the smartest choice don’t be a dumby kenobi

Cody breaks out of the indoor playground and finds Obi-wan himself because he heard about him and wants to prove he’s better as well, maybe not about beating them at being the best but he wants to be next to the best and he can’t do that behind nylon rope nets can he

*scribbling notes for…later oh god so many ideas*

So what I’m hearing is…two different AU’s. The Jedi Integration AU where Alpha and Fordo pull a mutiny on Kamino and relocate the Jedi by force. Each battalion gets a Jedi or two!

But also, the Clone Integration AU, where Jango realized what was up, killed Dookles and swallowed his pride by asking for Jedi help. Now the temple’s got 3 million clones and Lovin’ It.

300 clones per Jedi is a Lot though, so we’re going to pretend that ten thousand Jedi number floating around is for the Knightly Order, and not the Corps

Cody and Obi-Wan pair bond so hard Alpha ends up paired with Qui-Gon….this does not bode well.

Of the four OCs we have:
Ar'anna (white hair, silver eyes, Echani/Zeltron halfling from the distant past with a murder robot)
Kira-Lin (copper hair, pointed ears, blue/grey eyes, Stewjoni by imitation, myth cycle)
and
BuzzKill (best beloved straight man, loyal, intense, struggles with empathy)
Steady (even-temper, even-handed….pining for BuzzKill like he’s going for gold in the Lumberjack Olympics)

How would they pair? Would we have Older Clone, Younger Jedi? Same age cadet-padawan pairs?

Highest potential for angst is Steady and Kira-Lin. second guessing myself now XD
Highest potential for Shenanigans is Ar'anna and BuzzKill (and Kaych), mostly because of Kaych.

Ar'anna and Steady is a lesson in LONGING (she’s had a few iterations, but the most recent she fell in love with her master who faked his death to break the connection rather than handle it)

Kira-Lin and BuzzKill is One Man’s Journey to find a Chew Proof Baby Leash XD
