sometimes i just want to laugh at how absurd everything is. like, jeff bezos has enough money to literally end the war in yemen. he could literally end it. nearly any celebrity in the world has the money to fix the flint water crisis. like there is a handful of rich people who, if they just put their money where their fucking mouths were, could solve so many problems. but they dont!!! they just buy another house, or a car, or a company where they don’t pay their workers fair wages so they can get richer. it’s just!!!!!!! sometimes i want to laugh bc it’s so absurd and this is why we say eat the rich.
I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?
FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!
“ the fact is that we have no way of knowing if the person who we think we are is at the core of our being. are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it’s a decent girl? ” — “ wouldn’t i know which one i was? ” “ good god, no. the lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves. ”
still kinda into that “Anakin Skywalker becomes a trophy husband and gets really into Naboo fashion” idea, tbh.
He resigns from the Jedi Order sometime during the clone wars all “I know we’re having a war and all and it’s reeeeeeally important but Padmé is currently wearing space Dior and my head is just not in the game, okay??” Padmé of course immediately welcomes him with open arms because look, she knows they both have duties but Anakin already told the Council to go to space Hell soooo …
There’s gonna be a wedding. She is gonna make it EPIC.
Meanwhile the Naboo tailors are like dropping his Jedi robes in the trash pit all “mister naberrie what would you like to wear?” and Anakin’s like “… cccclothes?” and they immediately realize they have been given a BLANK SLATE and are DELIGHTED. Anakin gets a crash course in how to dress like the Naboo and also discovers that he is allowed to wear things like SILK and SATIN and ACCESSORIES and is just entirely floored. Really he can wear this? You’re SURE? And there’s a place to hide a lightsaber in it?
What do you MEAN “and throwing knives”. Tell him more about the throwing knives.
I mean now that Saracen's power was revealed it is basically canon that he knew since he first saw Vile... so either he didn't tell anyone or all the Dead Men (or maybe only Dex?) knew as well and just never mentioned anything.
so it seems like Skul’s Lord Vile secret will probably be made public in phase 2 with more and more people finding out about it
I hope when that happens Nef will be still alive so he can crack all of the Jekyll and Hyde jokes every time Skul enters the room
As always with these SP para posts, there are spoilers for the Skulduggery Pleasant series below. Also, I’m putting in a trigger warning for discussions of mental issues, unhealthy coping mechanisms and drug use. Stay safe!
Valkyrie is part of the Rouges Paracosm and comes from the Skulduggery Pleasant book series. Some of her close friends, especially Tanith Low, call her Val. She is a sorcerer and has practised a number of magical disciplines like necromancy and elemental magic. However, she has developed an unusual set of powers which include energy-throwing and sensitive magic. Valkyrie is bisexual and is dating a woman named Militsa Gnosis. She used to date Fletcher Renn. She is Irish and lives in County Dublin.
Valkyrie is tall and very muscular. She has long, dark hair and dark eyes. She has a “tattoo” which is actually a symbol which was carved into her arm in order to help her defeat a certain enemy.
Valkyrie wears a lot of black clothing. She has a jacket, tailored by her late friend Ghastly Bespoke, which is incredibly durable and able to block bullets, blades and other weapons from breaking through and hurting her. Although she is not all that fond of traditionally “feminine” clothing, Valkyrie does not entirely shy away from wearing skirts and dresses, but she usually only does so at formal events.
Valkyrie, like her friend Skulduggery, is witty, sarcastic and has a dry sense of humour. She too is a great detective and very intelligent. Valkyrie is quite defiant and doesn’t respect authority figures without good reason to. She doesn’t suffer fools gladly and always speaks her mind. She went through many traumatic events throughout her teen years and has developed quite a few mental problems related to depression, anxiety and possibly even PTSD. Because of this, Valkyrie has gained some not-so-healthy coping mechanisms. She uses “splashes of magic” which are, to put it simply, the sorcerer equivalent of nicotine patches. As well as a music box which puts her in a trance-like state for hours on end and stops her from experiencing intrusive thoughts.
