‘tasha you’ll never find someone if you don’t date and just stay at home writing harry potter fanfic’ well jokes on you

life comes at you fast @impishtubist

i understand why folks turn off reblogs on a post but part of me always feels so betrayed by unrebloggable posts on my dash. like oh okay shops closed? just when i get to the door

i would love to go to bed when i plan to, but unfortunately the person in charge of me is me and that bitch LOVES screentime and poor decisions

Naps are a forbidden technique, I think. If you pull them off just right you'll access a pool of near-endless rejuvenating power, but if you mess up some inscrutable part of the ritual your vitality and might will be sapped and you'll be left at the mercy of your opponents

behind every late diagnosed neurodivergent person is a parent who has absolutely nothing going on at all don't worry about it

"Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I'm sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor: Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:

Here's an AP news brief with a little more info. It's limited in the way major news outlets are right now but provides context that supports the personal account shared.

saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!

the fundraiser for Renée Macklin Good’s family has well surpassed its goal and is now closed — if you want to help Minneapolis residents as the city is terrorized by ICE raids, please turn your attention toward this fundraiser for local families, as well as Adelina Olivarez Cardona and Arturo Sanchez Chinos, both of whom are currently being detained.

additionally, you can support the family of keith porter jr, who was shot and killed by an off duty ICE agent on new years

by the way guys, this deployment of ice to minnesota is largest ever. more agents than chicago. we are a much less dense state. we are being inundated.

It is the largest Department of Homeland Security operation in history. And yet Minnesota’s Somali population (this operation’s primary target) is upwards of 90% naturalized American citizens. It’s even more of a manufactured crisis than most DHS operations. Genuinely living in Minnesota now feels like we’re a small country on the brink of invasion.

“There’s this whole other world, this whole other life, that she’s led away from Vel. She’s been on other missions and has, presumably, assassinated numerous people. She doesn’t talk about it openly. It’s not like you ever get a number, you just know. Even the way she turns up at the wedding, there’s just an implication of what happens to Tay Kolma. [...] It’s like the Grim Reaper has arrived.”

"The bits that I filled in were the thought process of what goes into someone who's part of the Rebellion, who is so used to being a blunt instrument for the Rebellion, and never not really having to think for herself in terms of what she wants in her future aside from revenge. And what happens when you physically can’t be channeling that rage and that hate, and so you have to sit with it and think about what you want and the vulnerability that comes with that. It forced [Cinta] to find hope, and the hope is that she will be with Vel one day. That’s actually what she’s fighting for."

"There was a lot of filling in the blanks for what might have happened, what the thought process was when she was injured. But there were also a lot of underlying messages she’s trying to get across to Vel in the few words she exchanges. She can’t go into depth."

"Faye and I talked about what it can be like to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know how to show their love in an affectionate way, and what might be holding Cinta back from committing to Vel. She says “the rebellion comes first” [in season 1] and “we take what’s left.” We talked about what has changed in them in that time. In season 2, Vel is quite suspicious of Luthen, or tired of being used by him. Cinta’s coming to that realization, too."

"A lot of our discussions were about attachment theory. Cinta’s a very avoidant person. She’s been through a lot of hurt and a lot of trauma, and it’s probably very difficult for her to attach to someone, especially if she loves them. But what she feels she can attach to is the cause, and that ends up not being enough for her."

Varada Sethu discusses Cinta's motivations, her hopes, and Cinta's dream of a life with Vel. (x)

The final episodes of Andor S2 really nailed how little of a chance there was for the Rebels to be able to destroy the Death Star in time.

Even in a New Hope, the chances were slim. Vader almost caught Leia with the plans in the beginning. R2D2 could have been stuck with the Jawas for too long (if you read From A Certain Point of View, you find out how he very nearly didn’t get bought by the Lars family). The shot Luke made was one in a million and just seconds before the base would have been blown away.

When we got Rogue One, we learned how many more chances and sacrifices there were along the way before A New Hope. To get the flaw in the structure, to get the plans in the hands of the Rebels, to transmit those plans to a ship that could actually bring them somewhere.

And now, in the Andor finale, we learn that Kleya almost couldn’t get the message out. That if Luthen hadn’t put in the work to keep Jung safe in his spy position for so long, he may have never discovered the energy plan cover up. That if Dedra hadn’t been scavenging for Axis information, the information would have never been available to Jung.

So many what ifs.

Jyn’s “we’ll take the next chance and the next until all our chances are spent” comes to mind. Andor really, really makes you think about how long that line of chances was. How much groundwork had to be laid, how many sacrifices had to be made, how far the Rebellion had to climb

Imagine being the empire, spending 15ish years building the Super Kill Death Laser 9,000,000 instead of doing reasonable infrastructure projects or expanding your effective military, and then it gets blown up by a random fucking dirt farmer from assfuck nowhere within like a couple days of coming online because Director "Serve Cunt at All Costs" Krennic couldn't be bothered to double check his situationship's blueprints
