It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.
Oh there's an English word for it too. Enucleation, I'm pretty sure. Normally used in a medical/clinical context. I haven't seen the movie, so don't know if that would or not, but yeah.
Re-watching "the Guest" with French subtitles atm to get back into the language, and came across s'éborgner.
Do the French really have a verb for the action of taking out an eye???
I like all of this but "Hondo is himself" is perfection
Barriss needs to be trapped in a nice fairytale world for a while. We can Wizard of Oz isakai her there.
Luminara is the witch.
Kit Fisto is the prince [Duh.]
Anakin and Obi-Wan are the Princesses royal guards.
Ahsoka and Padme are said princesses.
Plo Koon is that one really nice wizard.
Yoda sells potion ingredients.
Ventress is the weird swamp witch that doesn't actually hurt anyone
Hondo is himself
Shaak Ti is the good witch.
Cad Bane is the huntsman.
Palpatine turns Barriss into a swan [He's actually chill in this AU. He turns her because he feels like it's the best thing for whatever the hell this is]
Savage, Maul, and Feral accompany Barriss a LOT.
Tarkin is the King [fight me]
Meanwhile, Barriss IRL is essentially in a coma. Kit comes to visit her as often as he can because the war is over. Yoda also starts coming when he realizes that Luminara isn't coming for her Palawan.
When she wakes up from her coma, she sees Anakin, Kit, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Aayla, fucking TARKIN is there. Barriss doesn't even look for her master before kissing Kit and hugging Ahsoka.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
Reblog for greater sample size.
Not that I think we're getting anything at SWC (much as I want to hope for it) but I am once again amusing myself with possibilities:
"Better late than dead, wasn't it?"
"Are you *quoting* me Brown Eyes? That would be cute if you hadn't gone and *died* on me."
"I was *not* dead. I was simply indisposed for three cycles and twenty four rotations."
