Sorry that you're experiencing some ugly people on this webbed site. I think your stance was a good one. This is a star wars blog, not a political blog.

I hope stepping away from tumblr is helpful for you.

It would be helpful to the entire tumblr population lol. Don't be sorry, I'm not leaving because of anything directed towards me. Thanks for the support though

to that anon I got about my last posts: if you're hurt that I'm talking about antisemitism on tumblr rather than the Israel/Palestine conflict itself then you're going to have to make your peace with a star wars blog not being an effective platform for activism.

This is the point I've been trying to hammer home perfectly illustrated. I deviated ever so slightly from what's allowed on the subject to say that I can't participate in this website's idea of 'raising awareness' (distributing real facts and misinfo alike without a care and being a bunch of fanatic Jew haters in the process) and that I don't think I'm able to critically and accurately examine every piece of news that gets passed around here, and you're taking this to assume I don't care. So no, I'm not going to spend my time trying to prove that I do care to that particular crowd.

You're upset with me for not treating this like I did fandom and assuming I value fictional characters more than real people because of it, but it's precisely because this is infinitely more important that I'm not going to be doing real people the disrespect of giving my two cents on their suffering and deaths on the same platform I did STAR WARS.

Already got a comment-and-block by some random person with zero interest in trying to understand what I was saying, so yeah, not doing much to challenge the whole part about being unwilling to listen and have any sort of dialogue while accusing everybody who's not constantly shouting the right catchphrases of lacking all compassion👍

if you're wondering why I kind of abandoned this blog, there's several reasons (fandom just doesn't feel fun anymore, I'm trying to cut back on screen time, I've been feeling like my faith is in contradiction to what I see/read/interact with on here is for years and years now) but the final straw has been what I see on my dash every day about Israel/Palestine.

I keep seeing people I used to interact with and used to like now peddling conspiracy theories, debunked claims, inflammatory headlines, and even bloodthirsty rhetoric with tens of thousands of notes (when corrections of those posts get ~500 notes at best), and reacting to nuanced conversations like they're calls for hatred, all while turning a blind eye to the very literal vicious hatred or sheer ignorance in many of those big posts. The level of black-and-white thinking is so strong that we are wayyyy past 'us-vs-them,' we're in the kind of discourse where even 'know thy enemy' (being interested in understanding the opposing arguments even just so you can dismantle them) is considered hatred - people can't be bothered to know what they're arguing for or against, nothing short of plugging your ears and screaming for the death of the Bad People is enough. This is a wave of just about the most hypocritical, callous and uninformed 'activism' this website has ever been guilty of and it's too much. I'm done with this.

And yes, this is about antisemitism. You can all shout 'not antisemitic, just anti-zionist' all day long but you have done jack shit to prove you don't hate Jews beside chanting 'punch a nazi' in the same breath you use KKK slurs and cheer for groups that have 'curse the Jews' in their slogan. I trust none of you anymore.

re: my last post

This post was mostly about Israel/Palestine too btw

y'all need to get a grip. you blab all day about how much you hate bigots and hateful people and how evil it is to dehumanize anyone and then you turn around and say "kys" and "i think [x] should all just kill themselves" and other disgusting, violent and childish trash

so many people on here are just full of hatred and vitriol and turn into frenzied sharks anytime the target 'deserves it' and they think they can get away with it and not be called bad people. then they whine about how sad it is that we can't all just get along and if only all the evil people in the world would stop doing evil things wouldn't that be nicer

you're just as vicious, hypocritical and fanatically puritanical as the caricature you have made in your minds of the people you think you have nothing in common with. if you've ever told someone, ANYONE to kill themselves you're not advocates of justice, you're not artisans of peace, and you certainly don't have any moral high ground that would allow you to pass judgment on others

me when people ask me how to say "I don't care" in french

(description:)

The IASIP meme of Charlie Kenny gesturing wildly at a conspiracy board, with the second picture added to his papers - the second picture being a table with 7 columns classifying an exhaustive number of ways of saying "I don't care" in French, based on how common, vulgar and funny they each are.

Column 1: Socially acceptable and common: -Je m’en fiche -J’en ai rien à faire* (*less formal variation of “Je n’en ai rien à faire” which still belongs to this category)

Column 2: Vulgar and common enough to not be shocking: -Je m’en fous -(J’en ai) rien à foutre

Column 3: More vulgar, and common with a ‘teenage’ connotation: -(Je)* m’en tape -(Je) m’en branle -(Je) m’en balec’ -(Je) m’en bats les couilles -(J’en ai) rien à battre -(J’en ai) rien à branler -”Balec’” (* omitting “je” is frequent and makes the expression even less formal)

Column 4: ‘Familiar’ (only somewhat vulgar, completely informal) and uncommon enough to be considered somewhat funny: -J’en ai* rien à carrer -J’en ai* rien à cirer -Je m’en tamponne (le coquillard) -Je m’en balance -J’en ai* rien à péter (* can be replaced with “Je n’en ai rien à …” to give it a formal connotation, in which case the expression belongs to category 6)

Column 5: Socially acceptable and uncommon/formal enough to be considered funny: -Je m’en contrefiche -Je m’en soucie comme d’une guigne -J’en ai rien à fiche

Column 6: Vulgar and uncommon, somewhat formal: -Je m’en contrefous

Column 7: Socially acceptable and very uncommon / very formal, enough to sound snobbish (and therefore a bit funny): -Peu m’importe -Il m’importe peu -Je n’en ai cure -Je ne m'en soucie guère

Semi-retired, always around for you guys :) Thank youuu, that's a sweet message!

they’re definitely just a kid, and the good news is they interacted with your insightful post! thank you for scattering seeds of wisdom 🌱 you never know who you can reach with patient influence

That last reblog on that post about calling dudes 'mom' and the word 'malewife'? Yeah, I'm not taking it too seriously lol. I just got one too many 'i totally agree with this message! now let me show how i completely misunderstood it' and I couldn't resist getting some of that frustration out

You're very kind to call that seeds of wisdom and not salty ramblings ah ah, which is part of the reason why I'm trying to be done with posting on tumblr.

Pet peeve related to a post of mine that people have been tagging weirdly: I don’t get why you would call a dude who’s caring towards kids a mother. like "oooh he’s such a mom for this." No he’s not? You’re not breaking any gender norms, just drawing attention to the fact you believe so deeply that childcare is a woman’s job that you can’t conceive of a man filling that role.

Or if what you’re saying is actually: "he’s caring in the way mothers are caring," you’re still not making a revolutionary statement. You’re saying tenderness and gentleness are inherently feminine and unmanly. It’s like saying that a man doing the dishes or baking is "wife-coded" which I’ve seen some of you say btw. Which is insane to me

If you’d say of a nurturing guy that he’s a mother then I have to assume you’d call a tough gal who teaches kids to play rough a "father". (I know you wouldn’t and yet it’s the exact same thing.) And mulling that over for a minute should make it plain to you why that’s just a sexist view of parenthood.

Saw your recent post. Just wanted to say it’s super awesome having someone be open about their Christian faith. I haven’t been nearly as open about my own in this site as I should be. Stay classy!

<3

You’re Christian?? I followed you for fandom stuff and if I knew that I never made the connection and it never stuck.

What if your favorite moment in the Old Testament that Jesus either fulfills or reflects in the Mew Testament?

For example, my favorite is the first Passover celebration and Jesus’s crucifixion. The way Jesus covers us with his blood that we may live, the way it’s the flight from Egypt and the flight from sin and death, the way it shows God’s power and mercy.

It's the first word of my bio ah ah, but you're not the first not to realize 😅

I don't know if I have one favorite. Isaiah 53 (the suffering servant) comes to mind, with how precisely and perfectly it announces the character of Jesus. Another aspect of him that awes me the most is Jesus' high priesthood 'in the order of Melchizedek,' as Paul explains it in Hebrews - Jesus is both the sacrifice for sin, and the high priest presenting the sacrifice, and being perfect in both they endure forever. (And it's doubly awing to know that this priesthood is conferred on all of us who believe, without any merit, without any obstacle - the sacrifice buys not only our salvation but our elevation into Jesus' service.)

I think the thing that amazes me most in the Old Testament is whenever God shows Himself, be it through the Angel of the Lord, or when He spoke face-to-face Moses, as a friend (Exodus 33:11), and even through Melchizedek, that priest and 'king of peace' without a lineage whom Abraham met - because those moments are all prefigurations of Jesus walking among us, and because that was already him, which is why he could say in John 8:56 that Abraham had already seen his day and rejoiced! Jesus was always there, and it's incredible that we get to look back and see how through God's word he was already saying "I'm here, I'm coming."

Just emptied my queue, so don't be surprised if there's much less activity on this blog. You can still message me + send asks (esp my Christian mutuals and my other pals) and I'll get back to you but I'm just tired of tumblr

Padmé, please.

AU where Anakin leaves the jedi order, but still shows up from time to time "to help".

Phew! This was an endeavour! But I’ve wanted to draw the twins talking to all the force ghosts we know of for a while now, so here they are.

So I'm playing Fallen Order, as previously mentioned, but I'm now kinda obsessed with the idea of Cal in tl4j just randomly knowing stuff and when questioned just naming an object of theirs

Ahsoka is used to this because she grew up around both Cal and Quinnlan, but Ezra and Luke are incredibly confused

OH MY GOD THE POTENTIAL
