I love speed runners

to those asking: welcome to restaurant%, where you help ganondorf rebuild his life as a humble restaurant owner by building a restaurant around him as fast as possible without getting murked

I saw this video the other day! If it’s not immediately obvious, the “booth” is made out of indestructible parts, and enclosing Ganon in them breaks his AI so he no longer attacks.

This is genuinely the best speedrun challenge I’ve ever seen. I will think of nothing else for weeks, probably.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says “kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ”. you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

He is, in other words, the Guy Who Gets Shit Done

Reblogging twice cuz I was thinking about in the star wars legends/expanded universe he’s the same way except worse because he is the jedi council and all the authority but also weird as shit.

Imagine having FWB all over Middle Earth

Imagine being a very skilled healer, taught under Gandalf and Elrond. You travel all over Middle Earth , helping those in need and have earned yourself friends along the way 😉

I live in the ‘everyone lives and Thorin and Thranduil don’t hate each other as much’ universe stg 😂

If you want proper headcanons I could do

Happy anniversary to the time I ordered a burrito from taco bell and instead they gave me like 100$ worth of THC vape cartridges.

THE YEAR IS 2021 and I am on my way home from a VERY long day at my new job as a school photographer. Its 5:30, I have driven an hour and a half just to get home and all I want is a beefy five layer burrito and to go to bed early.

I go through the drive through at the taco bell. This is the same taco bell that, three years prior, asked us how many sauces we wanted. My roommate responded with “we’d like to get lost in the sauce.”

To which he said “lost in the sauce. Ok boss!”

And gave us an entire brown bag full of sauce packets that we are still working through to this day.

So our conclusion is that this store is operated by stoners, which is on par for a taco bell.

But anyhow, 2021, all I want is a burrito.

Pull up in the drive thru, order burrito. Compliment the cashier’s nails, take the bag without checking, drive off.

I get home. I carry the bag all the way to the kitchen and set it down. The sound it makes is not the sound of a beefy five layer burrito. It rattles.

I realize now that something is wrong.

I look inside.

I find this:

Which I realize now in 2022 after hanging out with potheads that this is considerably more than 100$ of THC products but that’s unimportant. I sit there for a few moments and just kind of stare at them asking myself

WHY does this KEEP HAPPENING to me?

Girlfriend comes in and sees this.

“Did someone pay you in smokeables again?”

“No, this is the new beefy 5 layer burrito from taco bell. Obviously.”

I could keep them, but what would I DO with them? I didnt know any smokers at the time that I could sell them to. You cant really… pawn THC products in my state because it’s a consumable and uhhhh… possession of such products is probably illegal? Fucking I dont know, if there’s a law about it everyone seems to be ignoring it.

And I cannot stress this enough: I dont smoke! And yet people keep handing me these things for some reason.

But more importantly: it is now 6:00, I am starving, and I did not get my burrito. So i make a decision and i grab the bag of vape carts and I go back to get the food I ordered.

I go inside and stand at the counter. I quietly tell the cashier that I ordered a beefy five layer burrito, and I got this instead. I lift the bag. I gently drop the bag. It makes the very non beefy burrito rattle sound.

The cashier knows by sound what is in the bag. Her eyes go wide.

“I’m not mad,” I tell her. “I dont want anyone in trouble. I’m just very hungry and would like the food I ordered.”

She very quietly takes the bag beneath the counter and produces six coupons for a free taco. “We’ll get your order to you in a moment, thank you for your patience.”

I am… containing my urge to burst out in laughter because this urban legend stuff. This is ‘tumblr will call this fake’ material. This is 'that happened to my friends cousin’ kind of story material and I’m just… waiting for my burrito.

The manager on duty approaches me and says:

“I understand you received something uhh.. other than your order.” She thinks I’m gonna tell corporate. This shit is too funny for corporate. I am not telling corporate.

“I dont want anyone in trouble,” I repeated. “I’d just like to make sure it gets back to its owner and make sure I get the burrito I ordered.”

“Right. Right. Right away.”

She gives me six more free taco coupons.

It is deathly quiet back there and I am trying so hard not to laugh at the absurdity of all of this. Like… how did I get here? What happened back there to lead me to this awkward situation? What farcical theater piece am I now a minor character in? Will I exit left persued by a bear?

The cashier returns with a bag. “Once again, I’m REALLY sorry.”

I take the bag. I check it this time.

This is indeed a burrito.

“No need, all is well.”

I leave with my burrito, twelve free taco coupons, and the sense that I just created chaos for an hour.

Well, looks like this one is gonna escape containment.

if you don’t use bandcamp, i’d really encourage you to spend some time there. there’s millions of artists on there putting out great material, a lot of which never even makes 1 sale, or breaks 10 plays

if you’re new to the site, the front page is a good place to start. you can pick a genre and scroll thru it. by default it puts popular stuff up front, but i’d suggest looking at new releases

most albums have a “music you’ll also love” section at the bottom of the page, so you can start from one thing and go down a rabbit hole. you can find whole scenes this way

or look at the genre tags that don’t show up on the front page! find a sub-subgenre and explore something you’ve definitely never heard before. what’s furrycore? dreamcore? post-hyperpop? progressive extreme metal? melodic juke?

bandcamp also tags music by location. what are ppl in your city making?

going out of your way to find new music can make an artist’s day, or turn you on to something you wouldn’t normally go for. think about it

i didnt mention one of the site’s biggest selling points, which is that the money u spend on there goes directly to the artist. bandcamp gets a 30% cut, which is beyter than any other deal out there. definitely better than the 99.99% cut spotify takes.

but that was on purpose. i wanna let ppl know that bandcamp is the place to be, as a music fan, if you want to hear underground independent music

bandcamp is kinda in danger of being only used by musicians. like an extension of the joke abt irl gigs: it’s just a bunch of musicians handing each other 20 dollar bills.

to me, as someone who loves the wierd, edgy side of electronic music, bandcamp is more than that. it’s where u go to be part of music scenes in the internet era. especially post 2020

indie musicians and laptop musicians and garage musicians and local musicians are making the best damn songs youve never heard rn

you can also plug your spotify playlists into this tool called Merch Table to find artists on there who have bandcamps — it’s a great way to get started owning and compensating artists for the music you already listen to and love!

another important tidbit is bandcamp fridays! on these designated days, 93% of your money reaches the label/ artist. when you buy on any other day, an average of 82% reaches the label/ artist. already awesome and made even BETTER on bandcamp fridays.

isitbandcampfriday.com has a timer for when the next BC friday is!

Look, we’ve talked about archiving media because streaming services love to lose catalogs, play payola games, any number of other reasons. But if you don’t have a digital or physical archive of your media that you control, you don’t own your media. This is how you start fixing that. Support artists, Download their tracks, burn them to disc if you want the physical storage. Or just keep a digital archive. But unlike Spotify or other streaming services, if you download it, you control the media you get off bandcamp. In this day and age, that’s massively important.

Can’t make it to a show and want a band shirt? Want a vinyl? Patches? Tons of bands are selling actual merch on their Bandcamp

My friend who wished to remain anonymous translated this video and asked me to share it on her behalf:

We can’t take it anymore. We are living as victims here, martyrs with the difference of times (when we are murdered), we are murdered one after another.

And no one looks at us, no one witnesses the magnitude of the catastrophe of the genocide we are living in gaza.

No protection. No international protection of any sort. No immunity against anything. These vests do not protect us, these helmets do not protect us. It is just a couple of slogans that we wear, it does not offer any protection for any reporter. These helmets and these vests do not protect us. We just wear it as slogans.

We are victims here. Victims being aired live, we lose our lives one after another without any price in return. We live as martyrs living on borrowed time, each waiting our turn to get murdered.“

Our colleague, Mohammed was here only half an hour ago. And now he has departed us and he lies here dead with his wife and his child and his brother, along with a lot of his family who are also victims here inside this hospital.

Remember that time we took the crumbs canon gave us and used them to build an entire fanon personality for Cody but then the deleted Tatooine husbands storyline and TBB S2 both dropped and we realised we were actually spot on and that the fanon characterisation really was basically canon? Yeah me too.

lgbtlunaverse:

I know that from a modern western context Nie Huaisang’s hobbies of collecting fans and pretty things, and painting and doing poetry instead of fighting is read as gender-nonconforming. And while that interpretation is perfectly fine and I do love seeing Huaisang play with gender in AUs, it’s still pretty important to understand that in his own cultural context all of his hobbies are considered normal for a young man to have. Painting was one of the four arts of the chinese scholar, and so was calligraphy. These were all acceptable and even expected skills for a man to have.

Huaisang in canon isn’t seen as womanly but as childish. He overindulges in his hobbies and refuses to do his job. He’s physically frail, can’t fight, refuses to try and train so he’s also seen as lazy and alltogether not willing to bear the responsibility his station comes with.

And so, if you want to translate that to a contemporary society, he should ideally have interests that, while acceptable for a boy to have, are seen as trivial, as something it’s a little cringe to still have a massive interest in as you grow up. And ideally something that carries a stereotype of laziness or physical weakness.

So what i’m saying is that modern AU Huaisang… is a gamer.
