Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA
Finally finished my Star Wars ABBA edit. This took way longer than I thought, but it came out alright. Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship is still my fave in all of Star Wars, and this song fits their tragedy so well.
[Do not tag as a ship. Ob*K*n DNI]
Kin’emon has rapidly become my new fave side character and I low key wanna write a fic where he makes a bunch of passes at Zoro because he finds his strength and sword prowess attractive.
And Sanji watching from the side and getting insanely jealous.
i have on important announcemen t to make.

My god parents just brought up the lie that what happened in Amsterdam was an antisemitic attack on Israelis, and that it was a planned attack by Moroccan Arabs, and I knew that wasn’t true but idk how to push back on it.
They said “there was a piece in the New York Times about it” and I’m fully aware of that piece and the gymnastics it does to reframe what happened. So I just. Left. I couldn’t do it so I just needed to leave.
These are people I care very deeply about and I know they’re not blood thirsty Zionists, but they did get a whole shit ton of conditioning when it comes to Israel, and are plugged into the liberal media that bends the truth to justify genocide.
I have no idea how to broach this subject with them and I just really really don’t want to lose a relationship over this.
Like how do I talk with someone when we’re witnessing two different realities.
They’re leaving now, saying that I upset them and now my mom is pissed off at me.
She got even more pissed cus I started crying.
Update! Things are okay with my parents! They actually were on my side and were more upset over how my god parents over reacted. I thought my mom was mad at me but she was just really stressed out and wanted them to leave and didn’t want things to escalate more.
My dad said he was proud of me for voicing my opinion and to not feel bad about that.
We’re watching a movie now :3

Ooooouuugggghhh I almost rear-ended someone on the high way.
in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.
fucking australia’s trying to get everyone to link their government id to their social media accounts else you cant use them anymore, the actual fuck is wrong with this country
please, actually, get fucking mad over this, the entirety of australia basically just banned all social media for anyone who doesnt want to give up their privacy to the government, there was no vote on this, no nothing, they just went ahead and fucking passed this ridiculously privy law and barely anybody’s talking about it the actual fuck
okay so to actually explain what exactly is happening, it’s an age thing. theyve used ‘protect the children’ and ‘let kids be kids’ as a weapon again. anyone under 16 is banned from social media, but to enforce this they have openly admitted everyone will need to link their government id to their social media. this whole ‘protect the kids’ thing was a very obvious trojan horse for getting ppl to give up their privacy.
and yknow, that alone is a very shitty law even without the whole surrendering your private information to the government thing.
theyve made outside uninhabitable, there’s nowhere left to go. public areas have degenerated, theyve turned hanging out into a crime with loitering, streets feel unwalkable sometimes, parents are more wary of letting their kids walk around on their own than they used to be, and now theyre trying to ban one of the main ways kids manage to distract themselves inside the house.
when i was 15 i was depressed and lonely, unable to leave the house very far, no friends, nobody. the one place that helped me feel less alone was online communities. i wouldve killed myself if it werent for the support i recieved on there. and now theyre trying to ban that for future generations, in a world that hates them being both outside and inside.
and even still, this is still a fucking trojan horse to get you to give up your privacy.
I do think it’s open to interpretation if Curly knew Jimmy’s intentions when entering the cockpit (I argue that he did and it’s his most damming moment of passivity) but if your argument against that reading is “Curly would NEVER want to kill the crew!!!” I think you’re missing the point of the game.
It’s not about if Curly wanted the crew dead the way Jimmy did, or if he was gleeful at the idea of crashing the plane, it’s about Curly’s unwillingness to intervene and preserving his own self image.
I think the point that Jimmy makes that really gets to Curly is that his reputation would also be tarnished by what happened. Curly stakes his whole identity on being a good captain and is terrified at letting go of that. The idea of dying “the good captain” instead of owning up to his complacency and taking the leap of faith of rediscovering himself is more palatable to him in that moment. 
He stands aside not because he was thinking about what this could do to the crew, he stood aside because he was only thinking about himself.
And the line of “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!?!!” is Curly only being to confront Jimmy’s actions after the damage has been done, and only when he’s staring down the barrel of consequence.
I think about how things escalated so fast of Anya commuting suicide, Daisuke being impaled by the vent shaft, that if I was Swansea I would also go in kill mode towards Jimmy.
Idk if this was intentional, but Anya looking like Shelly Duval in The Shining adds such a deep layer for me.
That’s such an infamous story of a woman being tormented by an egoistical man and it being permitted by the people around her, and it means a lot for me to have Anya’s model look so much like Shelly.
Fighting the urge to make 2am biscuits and gravy and I’m losing
I don’t get the fandom’s love for curly tbh.
He’s a very interesting character don’t get me wrong, but the borderline coddling kinda pisses me off. 
Maybe just cus as a horror fan I’m really into the “characters suffering the horrors of their own making” kind of thing, and the best part of Mouthwashing imo is Curly having to reap what he sowed.
The poetry of Curly being forced to become a passive observer, robbed of agency, after he stood by when he did have the agency to stop Jimmy really gets me. He can only witness the horrors as his own personal hell.
Idk with getting through the game I was satisfied with the way Curly’s story played out and don’t feel the need to see him get a happy ending.
I just think about how Curly let Jimmy into the cockpit fully knowing he was going to crash the ship to preserve both of their images as good men and I just find it hard to really go “oh boo hoo poor Curly”
