read this on ao3
“Skywalker!”
Luke glances up. It’s the middle of the night, but the base’s command center is still bustling, albeit more mutedly than during the day. It takes him a moment to figure out who’s calling. Eventually, he spots Leia on the other side of the central command table, standing next to an imposing-looking woman. Both of them are watching him.
He turns back to the commander next to him. “Sorry, I think I gotta go.”
She grins. “Don’t worry, kid -- they both outrank me. I’ll see you tomorrow in the hanger, okay?”
“Yes, ma’am,” says Luke, smiling back. She’s been helping him learn the Rebellion attack patterns. Tomorrow she’s going to walk him through the hacked-together add-ons that unite the Rebellion fleet. “Thank you for your help.”
“Of course, kid,” she says. As she passes him to leave, she claps his shoulder.
He makes his way through the room. Leia and the woman are standing at a display screen, but neither of them are watching it -- Leia’s gotten distracted by her pad, and the woman still has her eyes on Luke.
He pauses a few feet away from them. “You called for me, ma’am?”
Leia puts down her pad as the woman and Luke look each other over. She’s wearing a white tunic, a gold chain draped over her shoulders. He doesn’t know who she is, but she stands like someone who’s used to having her orders followed. The way she’d summoned him from across the room would be enough of a clue, even if Luke’s mentor hadn’t mentioned rank.
Next to her, Leia is tense -- she’s looking at Luke, but her attention seems focused on the woman next to her. Instinctively, Luke’s shoulders straighten to match the set of Leia’s.
The woman bestows him with a smile. “Do you know who I am, Skywalker?”
“No, ma’am,” says Luke.
Leia’s gaze slides towards the display screen next to them.
“You’re the new pilot, aren’t you? The one who got the lucky shot on the Death Star.”
Luke winces. “It-- wasn’t lucky, ma’am,” he says, trying his best not to sound obnoxious. But the distinction is important. “It was the Force.”
“You and Leia must get along wonderfully,” she says, raising her eyebrows. But she smiles when she holds out her hand to shake. “I’m Mon Mothma. It’s good to meet you, Skywalker.”
Luke shoots a look at Leia, who gives him an apologetic shrug. He’d asked her to point out the generals so he didn’t make a fool of himself.
Then he takes Mothma’s hand. “It’s an honor to meet you, Senator,” he says. “You can just call me Luke. Everyone does.”
She has a gentle grip. “It’s not Senator anymore, Skywalker. The Emperor dissolved our legislative body just before the deployment of the Death Star.”
Something tightens in Leia’s face.
Luke refocuses on the woman in front of him. Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila: former Senator, now. Served in both the Republic and Imperial Senates. Famed for her speeches on the Senate floor. And, as Luke has recently learned, leader of the Alliance Council.
Last stalwart of the Republic, now that the Organas have died.
Aunt Beru had liked watching Senate speeches -- especially the almost-seditious ones given by Senators Mothma and Organa. She’d compare them to the way liberators spoke to Hutts.
“Luke also rescued me from the Death Star,” says Leia. Her face softens, a little, as she looks at Luke. “He was the one who got my message to Obi-Wan.”
Mothma blinks, releasing his hand. “Obi-Wan Kenobi?”
“Yes, Senator,” says Luke. “He lived near me on Tatooine. He knew my father.”
“Your father,” says Mothma. “Of course.” She glances at Leia -- Luke bets Leia’s the one who told her. “Anakin Skywalker?”
“Yes,” he says. “He was killed by Darth Vader when I was very young. I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle.”
“Was he.” Mothma watches him for a moment, then says, “I met Anakin a few times on Coruscant. He was a good man -- I’m sorry for your loss.”
“--thank you,” says Luke. He hadn’t realized -- but his father being a Jedi means he must have done important things. Met important people, like Mon Mothma. And others.
He looks over at Leia. As if she can sense the direction his thoughts have gone, she’s gone back to studying the display next to them.
As far as Luke can tell, the display is showing a simple map of the planet they’re on. He turns back to Mothma. “Did you need something?”
“Yes, actually.” She folds her hands together. “I need you to take Leia to her quarters and make sure she gets some rest.”
Luke says, “Excuse me?” at the same time that Leia says, “What?”
They both look at each other, momentarily embarrassed. Then Leia turns back to Mothma. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m fine.”
“No, you’re not,” corrects Mothma. “It’s been a week, and in that time, I haven’t seen you leave this command center.” She pauses, something about her getting more gentle. “I know you want to help, Leia. And I know you’re an adult. But you’re no use dead on your feet.”
Leia glares at Mothma, who placidly meets her gaze. Even after only a week, Luke knows Leia would rather die than admit weakness -- but he also knows that Mothma has spent nineteen years waging war with the Emperor in his own Senate.
Leia crosses her arms. “I’m staying.”
Mothma doesn’t say anything, but Luke can feel the tension of the room rising. He’s the first one who breaks.
“Leia, it’s late,” he says. It isn’t very hard to push aside his nerves when he’s focusing on his exhaustion. “Let’s go, okay? Han’s probably going to finish today’s repairs on the Falcon soon. If we stay, you might run into him.”
And the whole base knows how much you want to do that.
Leia turns her scowl on him like she knows what he’s thinking -- but she also takes his olive branch. “Fine,” she says. “Mon, we’ll keep going over this tomorrow?”
It ends like a question, even though Luke is pretty sure she didn’t mean it to. For all of Leia’s bravado, she’s still Luke’s age, and it’s been a week since she lost her entire planet. It’s easy to forget sometimes. Other times, it’s hard to see past it.
“Yes, we will,” says Mothma, gentle yet firm. “Goodnight, Leia.”
Mothma turns back to Luke -- there’s a moment of silence, stretching out, as she looks at him. Though they have very different relationships with her, both Luke and Leia stay as silent as they can.
Eventually: “It was nice to meet you, Skywalker,” says Mothma. She folds her hands in front of her, gives him a small smile. “I’m glad to have you with us.”
She turns away from them. It’s only when she’s out of the room that Luke and Leia both exhale, almost in unison.
Luke says, “She’s-- wow.”
Leia runs a hand over her forehead. “Yeah,” she says, tiredly. “She’s no joke.”

Mind sending some positivity towards Chicago? We have our mayoral runoff tomorrow and the choices are a pretty cool progressive and a guy who calls himself a "lifelong democrat"...despite hanging out with conservatives, taking GOP money, saying "im probably more of a republican now", and that time he actually registered as a republican.
Ah yes, the Democrat and the "lifelong Democrat" who is actually a Republican, marketing himself as such in a cynical attempt to get elected in deep-blue Chicago. Let us cross our fingers.
#post-it-free#ask#my city's mayoral election is also tomorrow#though we are probably going to a runoff#we will uh#see how that goes#i voted in my local elections!#did you vote in your local elections?#just as important as state/federal ones if not more so for your own daily life#politics for ts

So I was doing dmg resting with my wonderful kokomi and I have found out, vaporize koko does about 25k per charged atk and 15k when bust activates
Compare to my Raiden shogun who does give or take 30k (with emblem of severd fate, has Sara, Bennet and kazuha can crit and does) this is amazing my girl is almost out preforming an archon.
My kokomi talents are 10, 5, and 8 so she's definitely doing some more damage on chathed attacks than a normal kokomi but whatever.
My vaporize team with koko is
Kokomi, Bennet, xingqu, and xiangling
Raidens team is: Raiden, Bennet, Sara, kazuha
My koko is doing very well she's also only c0 so I have a very f2p friendly kokomi which is also great!
(Send me asks about my kokomi I'd love to talk about her)
#genshin imapct#genshin kokomi#kokomi damage#send me asks about her#id love to talk about my kokomi#im wondering if i shoukd try to do four peice nymph on her#see how that goes#she doesnt really need the attack tho#i will soon have a hp vrs atk kokomi discussion

today I was told by my manager that I’m frustratingly unable to take compliments or positive feedback, and that I just brush them off and move on like
genuinely I’m so confused. I don’t know what I’m SUPPOSED to do. false confidence? fawning thanks? also give them a compliment?
this job hurts me right in the autism
#text post#and this is better! I used to argue with anything positive anyone said about me!#now I stay still and make appropriate facial expressions and let people say nice things#because I know arguing is disrespectful to them and the effort they’re putting forth to say something in the first place#I usually say thank you and just keep working and I thought that was a good response#how do you#how do you people#cash yells into the void because therapy is expensive#I used to think I was okay at least faking being a person but more and more I’m thinking apple was just a weird cult of weird people#and I just seemed normal by comparison#just gonna start responding ‘and that’s why I’m god’s favorite’#see how that goes

Sigh. I love Kendall Rae's true crime content, but, lmao. She said in 2020 that she knows what an awful service "betterhelp" is and not at all suitable for someone in need of therapy etc, and she sold out just a week ago. Promoted them, and for what? Girl has millions of subscribers and gets very good views. Girl you HAVE money?? I'm so fucking disappointed, this is unbelievable. Every youtuber ever just ends up shilling out or being some god awful person
#The only youtubers I can trust are jacksepticeye and markiplier I swear to god#I cannot begin to express how disappointed I am#kendall why you were such a genuine and nice youtuber#fucking damn it#if she's so supportive of victims and their families then she might as well suggest betterhelp to them lmao#see how that goes

I wanna take a little snake with very large fangs and hand it to immortal caveboy :)
(On another note, how would I make this guy cry? Asking for whump purposes)
awww i got an ask for caveboy! this makes me so happy
and tbh it wouldn't be very hard to get him to cry rn, he is so traumatized he just starts crying randomly at anything and everything
but yes he would not like seeing the snake (the fangs aren't actually what bothers him the most, even when that's where the venom comes from. he hates the eyes that seem to always be watching his misery)
#i love sneks#and also caveboy#hmmm i should give caretaker a pet snake#see how that goes#willow answers#answered asks#oc caveboy

Some of y’all tend to forget to not say anything when you don’t have anything nice to say, and it shows.
#everyone is free to voice their opinions but some of you cry so loud when your fave gets hate#and then you go around throwing hate at someone else’s fave#like ‘it’s okay when I do it because my fave has the moral high ground’ and girl? it does not work like that#your fave’s good or bad karma is YOUR FAVE’S KARMA - NOT YOURS#go up to Anubis and ask them to weight your small bean’s heart instead of yours#see how that goes

the men and boys are innocent too.
we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.
I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.
I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.
I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.
I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.
the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
#I don't have words to describe how I feel for the men of Palestine#the things I have seen them do after everything they have been through goes so far beyond selfless#what do you call this? this prevailing goodness and willingness to give everything they have and more? what word even touches it?#I don't think there is one#islamophobia has conditioned us to see these men and boys as evil and dangerous#we see this in how we speak about Palestine#and we need to uncondition ourselves#they're just as innocent and of value and good as the women and children#so fight for them#they don't deserve this any more than the women and children#free palestine#palestine

Expertise can't help you here.
#dungeon meshi#kabru#laios touden#falin touden#Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.
