MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

popular holotuber spacebomberguy has uploaded a new five hour video essay! it starts as a critique of the new “dress like a senator” fashion line and it’s place in pro-republic clone wars propaganda, before spiraling into a discovery that chancellor palpatine is a sith lord!! reactions on the holonet are mixed, with macewinduofficial declaring the video “necessary viewing for all of coruscant” while anakinskyyyy3534 replied to a link with “TLDW”

THESE SOUND AMAZING. LETS GOOOOOO

My Favorites of Jedi Appreciation

So, I've been thinking about Jedi positivity a lot lately. So, I decided to make a masterpost. Someone's definitely done this before and better, but I feel like I should throw my hat in the ring.

Fics

These fics might not be completely focused on the Jedi Order but they are portrayed positively, or they expand on their culture. Either way, I love them.

Knightrise by deviantaccumulation: In which a new Jedi Order is founded on Mandalore after Order 66.

not the place i was born in (doesn't mean it's not the place where I belong) by ghostwriterofthemachine: Jedi worldbuilding and Young Anakin and Obi-Wan being sweet.

How a Handful of Droid Poppers Save the Galaxy by Zarz: In which Appo is the hero the galaxy needs and Anakin meets consequences.

Yeet or be Yeeted by virdant: In which the Jedi tendency to jump off tall places becomes a competitive sport.

THE FORCE WILLS DOCUMENTARY by js71: Told as a documentary about the Jedi Order, there's a lot of worldbuilding and other things that make my heart happy.

Pragmatics of the Jedi by aroacejoot, ghostwriterofthemachine, loosingletters: A series that created a language for the Jedi, Dai Bendu, which is absolutely fascinating.

On Meditation by virdant: A short fic about meditation. It makes me happy.

Interviews by BloodyDevil: Interviews with members of the Jedi Order.

In which we burn bodies as bridges by GraceEliz: Jedi mourning in a bittersweet fic.

Anakin Skywalker's Guide to Jedi Traditions by loosingletters: A young Anakin's journal about his new life in the Jedi Order.

The Droid Wars by Crystalshard: R2 learns about the future and drags 3PO along with him to stop it.

Why We Did Nothing by BairnSidhe: Do you like the Mandalorians as well as the Jedi? In which the Mandalorians learn about the Jedi Order's perspective on things and Jaster gets rightfully mad. Warning: It has dark themes (among them, discussions of the murder of children, generational trauma, and Montross-related fuckery).

spilled red wine by scrapheap_redux: I was debating whether or not to add this one, but I really liked the portrayal of the Jedi when they show up. However, it has the aftermath and results of rape (not onscreen) as the inciting incident, which is why I was wondering if I should add it; I want this list to be enjoyable and I don't want to upset anyone.

Unsolicited PR From A Pirate by Everything_or_Anything, lastbattlecry, RogueLadyVader (LaylaYuy), TessaDoesThings, wanderingjedihistorian (RangerJedi67): Hondo is a menace. Also, action figures.

hi, i'm with public relations by lastbattlecry: The Jedi need better PR. Bail Organa knows somebody.

In Which Boba Fett Becomes the Jedi Order's Feral Tooka by Zarz: The title explains the beautiful, beautiful plot.

May the Force be Taxed by ReconstructWriter: Palpatine and the IRS do not respect Jedi culture.

aphelion by Kemmasandi: Plo Koon dies, wakes up decades prior, and fixes things.

Protect That Which You Love by certifiedspacewitch: Mace takes one look at the weird old man asking for private access to a young Padawan and gets his hackles up.

jedi shaming by braigwen_s, evaceratops: Short but hilarious.

The Chess Match Begins by SilverWingedWolf: The relationships between Jedi and clones.

It is a truth universally believed that all Mandalorians really hate Jedi and marrying outside their creed.

And yet, Ruusaan would happily tell her father, the Death Watch and all those who held on to such beliefs to go fuck themselves.

Okay so, i need advice. something happened to me yesterday that im still in shock about

TW.: talk about raping somebody, ignore if it triggers you. Your mental health matters

So, I was walking home from school and when i got down from the bus that is a few streets away from us three teenage boys started walking behind me. Im always very aware of my surrundings so i took out one of my earbuds. They were talking about probably a girl so disgustingly and some of the descriptors fit me (I did not know them. They where probably in highschool and older than me but i did not seen their faces.). I was already so disgusted, and one gone down from the sidewalk and the other two came after me and they where talking about quote: "What if we rape (probably) her." "I bet she would even enjoy it." But they did not follow me to my street so I gues they weren't talking about me but I'm still in shock and somehow feel guilty? Like for not being able to tak to that girl and warn her. I already told my mother and will start carrying my knife again. Do you guys have any advice how to deal with this? One girl from my school goes the same way home like those dudes and I already told her to have sometype of self defence tool on her.

Sorry for this, I may even delete this post after a while, I just can't really do anything about it and I need some advice

has anyone else been seeing the tweets about a lotion from sephora that attracts spiders

The Draa

So I'm back from assertive communication camp and am very tired, but I put together the species indigenous on Irmenu. I even started creating a language. In this post, I will talk about the siren/mermaids.

The draa are the indigenous species of Irmenu. Their traits and culture can vary. Not all of them have mermaid tails, if they have human ancestors they have legs and fins. Half draa usually have hidden fins that come out when they are in the water (if their parent is a freshwater draa, then they come out in freshwater)

There are 3 main branches(?) of draa.:

Freshwater

Shallowsea

Deepsea

Freshwater draa or Draa-alrus (Draa + al-of + rus-freshwater) live in ponds and rivers. Their numbers greatly went down. The ones that live in a river are 1 meter (3'3) to 1.2 meters (3'11) and mainly eat fish. They are nomadic, during winters they move to ponds and hibernate. Their relationship with humans is bad. Most of the time they hide and very rarely attack. The place where most of them live is a smaller island, where they only come out at night. (On that island draa are accepted. The group of humans that live on that island are one of the first settlers and kept a fine relationship with them).

The ones that live in still water are 1.3 (4.3) to 1.5 (4.11). They're omnivores and during winter they hibernate too. They live their lives in the place where they were born into. They have a better relationship with humans. Sometimes they go out in the daytime.

Shallow sea draa or Draa-alhoran (Draa + al-of + horan-sea). They live in both cold and warm seas. They average between 1.7 meters (5'7) to 2 meters (6'7). They are omnivores. Shallow sea draa are the most commonly confused with sirens. Some of them can use mind control. Long ago they lived in bigger cities but after the Hunt, they divided into smaller groups, like clans. Their relationship with humans is rocky. Sometimes they help pirates in demolishing Irmenu Navy ships, but it is like a "My enemies enemy is my friend" type of relationship. And most half draas parents are from this group. They are monogamous, they fall in love only once but "divorce" in their culture is allowed. Walon Vau's mother was a Shallow sea draa whos tribe lived around the island of Gesl

Deep sea draa or draa-alkharnhoran (Draa + al-of + kharn-deep + horan-sea) are around 2.5 meters (8'2) to 5 meters (16'5) and are carnivores. They don't have a (good) connection with humans, because the Irmenuan technology is not that developed to travel that deep.

Sorry that it took since my last post, I'm just really tired (I started writing this post on Saturday. But it's here, and I have Ideas for a story too. So i will start the writing process

My family is facing a dangerous situation due to the ongoing war, and my brother, who suffers from bipolar disorder, is in a very difficult condition. I need your help; even a small amount can save lives. 💔🙏🍉🇵🇸

I don't have money to donate, but hope this can help a bit too
