Neckbeards: Well, the Captain Marvel boycott didn’t work, so we’re going to boycott Avengers: Endgame if Feige doesn’t fire Brie.

Meanwhile, Kevin Feige:

we’re all ok w scottish english being a recognized dialect (sse or scottish standard english), and australian english being a recognized dialect, but the second people bring up aave (african american vernacular english) yall are like “thats just internet speak” or “thats not real its just people talking dumb”,, like no aave is a recognized dialect yall are just racist...

also id like to point out that i myself am not quite sure how the scottish/australian dialects are thought of in their own country, im basing this off of how everyone seems to treat aave versus how they treat “scottish people of twitter” or australian slang, but it does seem far more normalized/accepted than aave. we appropriate aave and get mad at people for calling it out.

(btw have yall ever actually heard someone who knows how to speak in aave?? have yall ever heard someone who doesn’t know how to and is just using it in the way they speak in ‘internet slang’? its like hearing a scot speak sse versus someone who just knows a few words speak sse. which i mean, is exactly what happens with aave, but i hope u know what i mean)

(also whenever i see people complain about aave, i feel like they’ve never really listened closely to someone speaking it)

anyways correct me for anything im wrong abt here bc im justa dumb white kid trying to figure out this stuff and this is a thing ive noticed a Lot,, ​im 13 n tryin to figure this stuff out while my brain is still malleable ✌️

Your first draft is not terrible.

It is not any sort of insulting name you call it.

It is a baby.  A young, inexperienced baby that might throw up on your shirt and cause you to lose sleep at night but you love it all the same and will patiently feed it and tuck it into bed at night with a kiss no matter what happens.

You do not call a baby stupid or awful because they are new to the world and do not have the ability or knowledge to function on their own.  Instead, you nurture and teach them so they grow up smart and strong and capable.

Such it is with a first draft.  A first draft is not bad because it needs care and attention. Don’t insult it because it is newly written down with ideas that are not yet fully formed.  In fact, that is the reason why it is AMAZING.  It’s a DRAFT!  The FIRST one for the story!  LOOK at it!  It exists!  It is ALIVE!  And it is YOURS, this story you made.  

So be proud of your first draft baby and, most importantly, be proud of yourself.

More old people enjoying themselves!!!  😱

Oh the horror. Everyone knows that after 30, all fun is excised from your life by the Adult Transmogrification, but these people somehow  escaped! Feel free to be inspired 😁

Also, to all young ageist little shits on Tumblr: fuck you 🖕

Corellian Zoos, Parents and Covid

So just over a year ago, i posted a dialogue capture from SWTOR of a bit of ambient dialogue on Corellia where, in the middle of a war zone, a father complains to a soldier that the animals have escaped from the zoo. This man’s neighbors are apparently dying all around him, and all he can complain about is his own inconvenience.  Unexpectedly, it became my most popular post ever based on Tumblr’s “Notes”. I’ve done a hundred ambient dialogue captures since then, and i still haven’t quite replicated it. I’ve re-posted the screen-caps here, along with the actual video & audio. 

I saw this again the other day, and I couldn’t help but think of Covid.  There are people in the real world who are just like this father.  Covid is actually contagious. Comparing it to things like heart disease - or getting hit by a car walking across the  street -  is a ridiculous comparison. When i first saw this over a year ago, i thought it was chiefly a reference to parents complaining about violence in video games, because it gave them something to complain about. Now i think it was trying to warn us. People are crazy.
