PJO TUMBLR GIRLIES WAKE THE FUCK UP

uhhhmmmmmmm..........

(when a guy who joined one of your classes three days ago who you literally have never even made eye contact with and stares at you constantly and you don’t know his name and he doesn’t know yours and he’s verbally violent and just gives you budding psychopath vibes writes you a full six page love letter along with an illustration of you and him together)

Two years later, still no justice.

In the middle of the night on March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was senselessly killed by police as she slept in her own home. Breonna was a daughter, friend, sister, and hero in her community.

Since her death, no one has been charged for her murder. The only semblance of justice that we have seen is the passing of the Breonna Law in Kentucky. But there is still much work to be done to ensure that other innocent people do not continue to lose their lives in the same manner.

Your name will forever be on our minds, in our hearts, and on our lips as we SAY YOUR NAME.

Rest In Power, Breonna 🕊️

It’s frustrating to see how often Nesta is misrepresented in fan art and discussions because it feels like her complexity as a character is being overlooked or flattened. Canonically, she has no issue baring herself to her sexual partners or Cassian, demonstrating her confidence and control in those private moments. But socially, she prefers modesty, favoring conservative, structured clothing that projects restraint and distance. This speaks volumes about her personality: she’s guarded, self-contained, and deliberate in how she presents herself to the world.

Yet fan interpretations often strip this away, dressing her in skintight, revealing outfits that clash with her established preferences. It’s frustrating because it stems from a broader pattern of reducing strong, complex female characters to oversexualized caricatures. People see Nesta’s strength, her sharpness, and her intensity and equate that with a need to visually sexualize her, ignoring the deliberate choices she makes about how she presents herself.

This trend also feels rooted in a misunderstanding of her relationship with vulnerability. Nesta doesn’t bare herself to the world easily—whether emotionally or physically. Her modest clothing is a shield, just like her sharp tongue and cutting demeanor. It’s part of what makes her intriguing, but this depth is often erased in favor of the trope of the “seductress” or “bad girl” who must look a certain way.

Meanwhile, Feyre and Elain—who are more open and expressive in their clothing—are often drawn in softer, more modest ways, which only highlights how much Nesta is unfairly singled out for this treatment. It’s not about denying her beauty or sensuality but recognizing that her power comes from her control and the barriers she chooses to put up—not from flaunting herself in a way that goes against her character.

Ultimately, it’s frustrating because it shows a lack of respect for who Nesta is: a woman who keeps her armor on in public but allows herself to be vulnerable in private, on her own terms. Misrepresenting that in art and fandom spaces undermines the very traits that make her so compelling.

It’s also frustrating how Nesta is always depicted as frowning or scowling in fan art and discussions, as if that’s the only expression she’s capable of. Yes, canonically, she has a sharp and serious demeanor, and she’s not someone who smiles easily, but reducing her to a perpetually angry or sour-faced caricature does her a disservice. Nesta’s stoicism isn’t just about anger—it’s about control, restraint, and a lifetime of guarding herself against the world.

Her frown is often misinterpreted as one-dimensional hostility, but it’s far more nuanced than that. She’s worn down by grief, guilt, and a fear of vulnerability that she’s had to carry for years. Her guarded expressions are part of her armor, much like her preference for modest clothing. They’re not just signs of anger; they’re signs of someone who has endured pain and refuses to let anyone see her break.

And while she may not beam with joy at every turn, it’s canon that she has moments of softness and humor, especially with those she lets into her inner circle. She smirks, she teases, and she even laughs—especially in the company of Gwyn and Emerie, where she feels safe enough to drop her guard. These moments may be rarer, but they’re crucial to understanding her character, and they’re often erased in fan portrayals that insist on making her look like she’s constantly angry or unpleasant.

This persistent depiction feels like it stems from a misunderstanding of Nesta’s character. People take her strength, her pride, and her refusal to be anything but authentically herself as a reason to paint her as bitter or unkind. But Nesta’s journey is one of rediscovering herself, learning to let others in, and finding moments of joy and purpose. Reducing her to a permanent scowl ignores her growth, her resilience, and her complexity.

Nesta isn’t just angry—she’s guarded, hurt, and healing. And while she may not be the type to smile easily, when she does, it’s all the more meaningful. Fan portrayals should capture the full range of her character, not just the parts that fit into an oversimplified “ice queen” mold.

random things i hear pt 3

person a: why the hell do you have such a big flagpole shoved up your ass all the time?

The Clone Wars arcs that I would write if I were a showrunner and Disney were smart:

The lead general dies early on in a mission, the commander is injured and incapacitated, and the clones are now tasked with planning and properly executing a battle plan with little cohesion or unity in thought

The republic has succesfully seized half a planet and is moving on to the other half. A squad of clones gets separated from the main battalion and is forced to face the results of endless war when they come face to face with civilians who do no like or appreciate the Republic and barely respect the clones

A clone commander contemplates desertion. 

Half a squad of clone deserters avoid capture by their brothers but are eventually forced to confront their former families and come to terms with their decision. 

(subplot) A clone has romantic feelings for the first time and has absolutely no idea how to handle them. even better if the romantic feelings are for a Jedi CO

(standalone) barhopping

A Jedi and a squad of clones are captured and imprisoned within a separatist testing facility. The jedi goes to work freeing every last one of her men and very nearly sacrificing her Jedi morals for the dark side/attachment when she abandons the emergency transport that arrives to go save her commander (they all do make it out)

A peak into clone culture: a rift forms in a company when two members of a squad disown one another and everyone starts taking sides

(subplot) some troopers are clearly mentally ill and in need of serious help, but the medic (the only one aware of mental illness in any capacity) is helpless to do anything because of the stigma surrounding appearing “weak” in that way

Two battalions switch generals after a mix up during a battle. Battalion A gets Jedi B, who has to learn to leave behind their stiff and detached battle style/personality in order to gain the trust of their new men. Battalion B gets Jedi A, who has to learn to act like a “normal Jedi” and apply some more careful thought to how they interact so they can stop freaking out the men and gain a deeper respect from them.

A couple of clones accidentally witness a deal gone wrong, lose all their communication devices, and have to find a way back to the surface so they can report the crime without being killed by the gang hunting them through the underworld. 

Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex have to attend a formal gala and mingle with the upper echelons of Coruscanti Society at the request of the Chancellor. Anakin inflates battle stories to appear cool. Ahsoka gets patronized. Rex experiences a microaggression. Someone tries to kidnap a senator.

I HOPE LOVING ME ISN’T THE HARDEST THING ANYONE HAS TO DO.
