Your Davy Jones has always been phenomenally satisfying to look at!!!
POV you are Jack Sparrow
EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.
It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.
There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
What a way to find out that you can summon for the Four Kings... 😂💜
Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.
Please reblog and spread the word
it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore
Kinda looks like that's exactly what he's saying too! XD
HOLY SHIT!! Look what I found!

In Serbia, people write the way they read/pronounce. Every letter in the Cyrillic alphabet is pronounced one set way, which is why there are 30 letters and no "X", "Q" and "Y".
Still, going by this logic, whoever wrote this did add an extra "I" which is not present in the actual pronounciation of the name. Probably didn't know how it's pronounced and just went with their gut.
"Luigi Mangione is a hero!!"

Such a good analysis/theory.
Jimmy Brooks is one of the first characters we can choose to kill or to let live after being dumb enough to confront Arthur about seeing him in Blackwater, other than that one encounter, we can find references to him two different places throughout the game, which might lead to something interesting going on.
The most commonly known other place to find Jimmy Brooks is in the strange man's cabin where two different poems can appear depending on if he is killed or not. "There was a man called Jimmy Brooks, Who was always running into crooks, Till one chased him down, And he had to talk his way round, That Jimmy isn’t as dumb as he looks." Now this points is strange, him not being as dumb as to just recklessly point out a killer. Though it could refer to him being able to talk his way out, I wouldn't say that anything he said saved him, him being saved is completely depending on Arthur. I feel that we as a player already have an idea about if we will kill him or not before he starts very badly pleading for his life.
The second place, a lesser known place, in which you can find Jimmy Brooks, is on the register stone a little outside of Cornwall Oil and Tar.
"J. Brooks. US Post 63." (Confirmed to be about him)
Now the person we saw in Valentine looks about thirty, but this was made 36 years ago and I doubt he worked in the US post when he was like four, and I will not put him in his mid fourties, same age as Dutch.
These two instances alone can be explained logically, however when dealing with anything related to The Strange Man, you can allow yourself to think a bit more.... Unlogically, magically if you will.
The Strange Man is sometimes seen as Death and the time after the Blackwater Masacre is often seen as marking Arthur's last time leading to his inevitable death, and with it approaching, Death might want to see what kind of person he is dealing with.
Jimmy Brooks is one of the first times that Arthur's honor is affected, a trial of Arthur's character, and it wouldn't be the first time that The Strange Man tests the morality of people he knows is dying, he does the same to John in rdr1, sending him out to rob Sister Calderón or stop a man from cheating. The only difference is that John has to go to the trial whereas the trial is presented to Arthur. However it can simpily be that The Strange Man is adapting the challenges to the people.
Arthur's trial is one of life and death, John's aren't. The ones John gets are more about his morals about life rather than death. Encourage a man to cheat, or tell him he is better. Rob the sister, or donate to her.
Both of the negative things John can do are... Negative, but they aren't that bad. Encouraging a man to cheat is just bad moral but not illegal, and robbing a sister is illegal but you can gain something from it, thus you would choose to go there even if you had the choice not to.
Arthur's on the other hand. It would be better for Arthur to not at all encounter Jimmy, stealing a horse and chasing after him through an entire town is bound to draw attention, and afterwards killing him not far from said town, is not optional, even if you save him, you have drawn attention to yourself. If Arthur's trail was optional, he would not take it thus it is forced upon him.
There is also a reason why The Strange Man appeared for John but not for Arthur and it is all about their redemptions.
Arthur's redemption comes from inside, he doesn't care what others think about him, only what he thinks about himself, and until he changes his mind about himself and everything he does, nothing can even sway him. He thinks he is a bad man, nothing can change that until he himself changes his perspective. He doesn't need The Strange Man telling him "you have done bad" because he knows and he is suffering for it already, he needs to be shown he can be a good man.
John on the other hand, his redemption comes from the outside, he doesn't change because he wants to, he changes because the world needs him to. He doesn't care about what he did or who he killed and he doesn't need to prove to himself that he is a changed man, he needs to show the world that he is a changed man, that is the only way he will be left alone. However The Strange Man is there to remind him why he hasn't been forgiven yet, because he killed many and he needs to be reminded of it.
Now who is Jimmy Brooks then? Well, he can just be a random man who looks young for his age and was influenced by The Strange Man to do what he did, but he could also be dead. It is a solution to him being old enough to work with the US Post in 63 and being in his thirties in 99.
He died sometime after 63, when he was in his thirties, and then when Death (The Strange Man) needed Arthur's morals tested, he didn't want to put an living person's life on the line, as it was not their time to die, so he used a person who was in fact already dead.
Anything with The Strange Man is possible.
Help, it's giving
i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:
trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"
no one can declare asylum in the US
all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled
birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone
ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)
mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them
he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"
biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order
25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 — expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon
tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when
trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how
january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned
he pardoned the leader of the proud boys
tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.
he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US
he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"
alaska is to be mined and become the US' main source for fossil fuels
the green new deal and "electric vehicle" (green energy) mandates are over
the US has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement
the US has withdrawn from the world health organization
reproductiverights.gov is already gone
the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"
trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone
self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone
all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home
trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars
sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three
and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:
the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency
trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist
the wealthiest people on the planet — the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok — who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners — stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in
elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating
If Dutch Van Der Linde has 0 haters, I'm deceased
I have some words about this idea.
First of all, I don't mean to go around saying "No, that can't happen" or "Your opinion is trash" or something along those lines. I just want to give my own opinions on this topic, honest and simple, take it or leave it.
Idk, I guess this is some slight spoiler territory? I'll put a border just in case.
Personally, I don't think Luke potentially appearing at the end could be compared to "Andor" for a number of reasons.
Firstly, "Andor" was specifically created to lead directly into "Rogue One". "Skeleton Crew" has so far been entirely its own thing with absolutely minimal tie-ins to other projects (like the New Republic X-Wing patrols and the rise of pirates) and minimal cameos (they could have easily shoed in Carson Teva or Zeb, or somebody like that). Vane is pretty much the only previously established character who has appeared and I personally don't find that problematic because it's not impossible to imagine a minor character like him to be hopping from crew to crew to make a living in the aftermath of "Mando" season 3.
As such, I think "Skeleton Crew" deserves a conclusion that is unique to itself, devoid of any immediate intermeddling of big names that honestly won't even lead into anything. Having Luke appear would be a neat cameo, but other than that, it would serve no purpose and honestly would even be detrimental to the entire build-up so far. The only real pay-off I can think of would be Wim finally meeting a real Jedi in the flesh, but other than that, there is basically nothing that has been set up so far that could justify Luke's presence. Nobody is seeking a Jedi mentor, nor has the threat of piracy become so apparent to the New Republic that they're considering bringing in their most powerful ally to deal with it.
Furthermore, as far as we know, the kids and SM-33 are the only ones who are actually aware that Jod is Force-sensitive. Nobody else so far has suggested that they know anything about that, not his crew, not his previous acquaintances. Therefore, it is unlikely Luke would even know about him at all since the last two times that we've seen/heard of him take up a pupil, one was dialing him directly through the Force and the other was his nephew.
Having said that, I do agree that having some sort of tie-in to a future story could be interesting, if it has a valid pay-off. Considering At Attin is the last Old Republic credit production planet, it isn't unlikely that it might become a key asset in the New Republic's development or even Thrawn's return.
So now that I've laid out those arguments, how do I find it justifyable to put a scene of building a piece of the Death Star in a series about the guy who will eventually steal the Death Star plans? Other than foreshadowing and fan service? We get to see just how much the Empire is desperate to manage and control every aspect of its populace, all the way down to having its criminals, big and small, rebels and jaywalkers, become nothing more than tiny, determined, replaceable cogs which build up its massive war machine amd how that despair eventually leads to it's downfall, both in the series with the impossible prison break and eventually with the destruction of the Death Star.
Plus the irony that Cassian is helping in the construction of something so monumental he will eventually help destroy, but I guess that can already fall under foreshadowing.
Now that Jod is decidedly proven to be a ruthless, Force using pirate who now has a lightsaber, it’s possible that Luke could show up in the finale. And if he does, I don’t want to hear ANY cries about fan service or overuse, because A) Luke has appeared in precisely two episodes of any live action shows (not counting young Luke in Obi Wan), and he was the most underutilized character in the sequels (apart from Lando) and the one who suffered the most character assassination. He sure as hell hasn’t been over utilized; and B) it makes as much in-universe sense for the last Jedi Master in the Galaxy to be interested in a Force sensitive ruthless pirate with a lightsaber who is on the trail of a long lost Old Republic planet that could potentially have Jedi relics hidden somewhere on the surface (and to have heard of it through his New Republic contacts in regard to underworld/Imperial Remnant buildup) as it does for a main member of the strike team to steal the Death Star plans to have once been put to work by the Empire building panels for the Death Star superlaser while in prison for jaywalking.

I don't mean to sound like a ☝️🤓, but there's a very great analysis of Emesis Blue that takes the original script and the interviews with the creators into account.
This is the link to the full video since I don't want to end up misinforming:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SE0wsK-MIdE&pp=ygULZW1lc2lzIGJsdWU%3D
I want to just touch on that Spy's Disguise allegory: in the final chapter, when Fritz is driving the ambulance to his presumed death, behind him you can see a Blu Spy laying down in the back if the van and it is (if I remember correctly from the video) confirmed that that is the Spy from Spy's Disguise. So him and the Smoker are two separate persons.
Which I personally like better. I dunno, I like the idea that the Emesis Spy (I think they named him Jacques??) is just this huge, selfish piece of shit who thinks he's better than everyone and deserves his own lackey and deflects all of his own faults onto Jane Doe.
why was spy so mean to soldier in emesis blue I get that he's stupid but damn chill out dude
This is a result of the inhumane decisions that members of this administration want you to be silent about in public for fear of a loss of “civility”.
We may not be able to convey the truth of the genocide in the days to come.
I hope everyone who sees this will share it as widely as possible.

I can't believe I actually came across the original post after sharing my thoughts on Pinterest.
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
