I Just Have No Words

some people were asking for actual advice and i can never pass up an opportunity to procrastinate so here’s just a couple of things i always need to remind myself of…now back to my paper :(

HAPPY 3 YEARS OF FOLKLORE TO MY FELLOW SWIFTIES!!!!!

Happy birthday to one of my favorites; which just connected back to the little me; who used to be obsessed with the wonderful tales of love and the extraordinarily mysteries of their complexity.

From the girl who now dreams of being a folklorian fairy in a little cabin into the weeds and ancient trees!

Long live to our love, passed down like folk songs!🌲🪄🧚‍♀️

Neurotypicals will be like “I know you have a disability that affects your ability to stay organized, manage your time properly, socialize, or control what you’re able to think about or focus on, but that’s not an excuse to have trouble staying organized, managing your time properly, socializing, or controlling what you need to think about or focus on.” And then demand that they aren’t ableist. I’m tired.

art tips

don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is

I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician

you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

anakin: i’m a jedi general, i’m on alert even when there’s no danger!

padme: anakin, that’s ptsd.

Ok,now I can't unseen this post.

This person is a legend; Thanks for opening my eyes!!!

Ben Solo reminds me more of all the Skywalker women than the men.

~ ~ ~

He has his mother's Feisty Temper and her Snarky Sarcasm

Even if it doesn't show as verbally as Leia's did.

He got an affinity for the Dramatic and a Political Intelligence from his Grandmother

Padme just has a better vocabulary.

And finally, he gained the ability to Mask his Emotions and his Faith in Prophecies from his great grandmother

Shmi reminds me the most of Ben. She also passed down her darker features to Ben.

The Skywalker men (which does include Han) tend to get strung along. They're powerful yes, but aren't go-getters like their female counterparts. It's the females who tend to push the men along. But Ben is different, he goes out of his way to do things. He didn't get randomly tossed into where he is and what happened. He actively worked to get there.

That and the woman are just more open-minded, less stubborn in the way that they can change for the better.

And while the men do change, their changes are much more subtle and aren't as impactful. The men change because they're forced to, because of an internal struggle, one they give themselves. The men change because they decide to.

Anakin changes due to internal corruption. Luke due to an internal struggle with his wants and needs. Han changes due to an internal realization to become better than what he was.

The women? They change because of outside reasons that affect them. When the women change it's because of external reasons that they have to adapt to.

Shmi changes due to the external need of the force to take Anakin from her. (Not really a change but we don't see much of her regardless). Padme changes because of the external war and rising corruption due to the Emperor. And Leia changes because of the external Empire reign and her duty to her family.

And Ben? He changes because of Luke's moment of fear, an external thing. And then he changes again, because of Rey's influence on him. An external reason.

Idk you don't have to agree with this. This is just something I was thinking about and wanted to share.
