A day in the life of Gonky!!

I've been thinking about this comic for ages and it makes me very happy.

every star wars fan has to have an extremely niche star wars thing they’re obsessively into for no good reason that they could write a thesis paper about. that’s just part of the deal when you’re a star wars fan

Kix is canonically alive in The Force Awakens era, friends.

“You keep twisting like that, it will take twice as long to heal,” Kix warns in a tone usually reserved for uppity cadets. It works, Finn gingerly straightens his posture, and Kix ties off the fresh bandages with a careful tug.

“Good to go-” he says, biting off ‘trooper’ just as Finn’s hand twitches with the urge to salute.

The significance of plot without conflict

In the West, plot is commonly thought to revolve around conflict: a confrontation between two or more elements, in which one ultimately dominates the other. The standard three- and five-act plot structures–which permeate Western media–have conflict written into their very foundations. A “problem” appears near the end of the first act; and, in the second act, the conflict generated by this problem takes center stage. Conflict is used to create reader involvement even by many post-modern writers, whose work otherwise defies traditional structure.

The necessity of conflict is preached as a kind of dogma by contemporary writers’ workshops and Internet “guides” to writing. A plot without conflict is considered dull; some even go so far as to call it impossible. This has influenced not only fiction, but writing in general–arguably even philosophy. Yet, is there any truth to this belief? Does plot necessarily hinge on conflict? No. Such claims are a product of the West’s insularity. For countless centuries, Chinese and Japanese writers have used a plot structure that does not have conflict “built in”, so to speak. Rather, it relies on exposition and contrast to generate interest. This structure is known as kishōtenketsu.

What if the clones DO have a concept of incestuous clone relationships, but it’s if it’s your BATCHMATE that’s nasty, but just some brother from the next battalion over? Everybody’s done that! Who cares!

(the next battalion over is the 501st, EVERYONE has done that guy, his name is Bicycle, he is now my most treasured OC)

People have been misunderstanding this post. Let me say very clearly this is not me “justifying clonecest.” I do not need to justify this fictional and harmless thing that I enjoy. I will ship a brother with his batchmate in a heartbeat and feel great about it. This is a funny post because oh boy are people uptight these days and I just wanted to talk about my boy Bicycle, slut of the Five Oh First. Thank you for your time.

I know his name is Bicycle because of the joke, but do bikes exist in Star Wars? Would his name be Speeder? Because I feel that would also be funny.

Anakin: Your name is Speeder, right? Is that because you’re fast?

Hardcase, yelling from across the room: Fast and LOOSE!

I needed this today

The thing about basic training is that it's buck wild for like a little bit at first but a grown man can only pretend to be mad at so many things before it's just sad to watch him

Drill sergeants after they cycle out all go to CIF and swap their smoky the bear hats for big shoes and red noses

Round week four or five of basic, one of our MTIs (the best one at instilling the fear of god in at least me personally) sat us all down in the break room and was like "Hey guys? I'm actually a really chill person, and it's exhausting to have to do the whole Righeous Indignation act all the time. Could you all just stop fucking up so I can stop yelling at you constantly?"

Straight up if a drill sergeant had did that to me it woulda worked way better than all the hollering

Oh it worked a briliantly, even a couple of the problem guys chilled out after that

#pretty sure orwell talked about this in homage to catalonia#or something like it#we have historical and anecdotal points indicating that the US is just so bad at military

you ever take off your noise cancelling headphones and sounds are like, sounds, so you put your noise cancelling headphones back on

I know these tags were a joke but speaking for autistics everywhere, sound has done so much. TOO much. It deserves to be cancelled

@catrillion how dare you keep a beautiful pun like that in the tags

reminds me of when some old church in Sweden was cleaning out their storage and they forgot they had left like 80 medieval corpses in some ikea bags during renovations so somebody opened a closet door and it’s just
