They Share A Braincell

i wish i could remember who made the recommendation to "make a list of all the different ways someone could feel about a topic in your fictional setting and then make each of them a character" because it is a great technique and is also extremely fun

the really crazy thing about cooking is that once you practice it enough (for all the gamers reading this: "grind enough exp") your threshold for wuat counts as a low effort / depression / I Dont Really Want To Cook meal rises steadily and you can feel yourself becoming the kind of person whose "chill dinner" takes 1h45 and involves three pans

star wars fans are so funny bc like you can mention a background clone character who shows up in like, two episodes at most, and there will be some fangirl who's memorized his wiki page, has a pinterest fan page dedicated to him, and ships him with riyo chuchi

GtN: Lesbian space necromancers play Werewolf

HtN: the 6 most uniquely fucked-up space liches you can imagine play Among Us

NtN: The cutest child you've ever met discovers the horrors of modern asymmetrical warfare.

I made this so fast after watching the new episodes you have no idea

obi-wan and fox have bi-weekly meetings, either in person or by video call depending on availability and location. these meetings are titled the Politicians Are Assholes meetings and it's mainly like:

Obi-wan: *taking a long drag of straight vodka* force, this tastes like shit. i miss spotchka. Fox: *head on table, only hair visible to the screen* hound brewed some brandy. obi-wan: *raises brow* and how's that going fox: i feel like i just downed paint thinner obi-wan: so well, then fox: fuckin' awesome

intersperced with

Obi-wan: did you hear the idiot from Corellia? Saying that they didn't want any aid from our troops? she's just going to allow her people to be taxed within their lives by the separatists fox: oh, that's nothing. after the meeting she tried to talk up the chancellor in order to get some mineral grants. it was honestly disgusting obi-wan: not while I'm drinking, fox. ew.

Obi-wan: i caught the tail end of Senator . . . Fox: *already groaning* bonteri obi-wan: *nodding profousely* bonteri's speech. there was not a word of sense in the entire damn thing, was there? unless I missed something fox: you missed more bullshit obi-wan: hm. I thought so

but while it's mainly just them bitching, they accidentally uncover Palpatine this way.

Obi-wan: force, is that all paperwork? on your desk????? Fox: *glances at the paper and datapads almost covering his desk* don't make me say yes, Jetti. it's giving me the worst fucking headache. Obi-wan: *eyes narrowing* wait. what? you're not supposed to get headaches Fox: *shrugging* and I suppose I'm not supposed to get blood clots, either obi-wan: NO??? what???? fox: *raises arm and shows him what looks like oddly-shaped veins running up his arm* what's this fuckin' thing then Obi-wan: ARE THOSE LIGHTNING SCARS fox: *drunk off his ass* obviously not, we don't get lightning on coruscant Obi-wan: CODY, TURN THE NEGOTIATOR AROUND. WE'RE GOING BACK TO CORUSCANT

I love the trope of like A character uses gloves all the time bc their hands are either sensitive/has powerful powers from their hands/has done bad things with their hands and wants NO ONE to touch them x that B character they allow to touch their hands/accidentally touched hands with and ended up allowing B character to touch A character's hands OR if B character is powerful enough to handle A character's power from their hands

Do you get what im talking about-

Can you imagine how the clones' speech patterns change once they are out of Kamino? Not just the slang they use, but in general how they speak. At some point you can start to differ the different battalions based on their speech. This is even more notable when it comes to the Commanders or other clones who deal more closely with their generals. Rex is distraught when he realises that he sounds like a teenager. Cody just proceeds to sound even more like a wisened old Commander despite being the middle child. Fox sounds like a tired retail manager trying to calm down a Karen.
