Lesser known facts when writing women:

  • High heeled shoes don’t become flats if you break the heels off.
  • The posts of earrings aren’t sharp.
  • Nail polish takes a long time to dry and smudges when wet.
  • You can’t hold in a period like pee.
  • Inserting a tampon is not arousing or sexual in any way, ever.

Feel free to add your own.

- Bras leave red marks on the skin under and around boobs and it is a magical experience when taken off.

- Make up can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on how skilled you are.

- Taking hair out of a ponytail after wearing it for hours does not make it perfectly straight when it comes down.

- Hair when wet sticks to the skin it no longer flows, idiot.

-When women with long hair kiss, turn around, do anything, their hair falls in the way.

- Stockings are itchy and tear like wet paper bags.

- Pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings are each different.

- Waxing hurts and leaves red skin for a while afterwards while shaving leaves stubble

- Most can’t run in heels unless they have been VERY worn

- Insecurity in appearance doesn’t mean “buy me a drink”

- EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN EVERYTHING

-Having large breasts sucks. It sucks beyond belief.  If a garment happens to fit your large chest, odds are it won’t fit the rest of you. Underboob sweat is real and terrible. Bending over for extended periods of time will tweak your back out. Running can be painful due to boob turbulence. Bras are hella expensive. Big breasts are not fun.

We have never, ever looked in a mirror and silently described our nude bodies to ourselves, especially the size/shape/weight/resemblance to fruit/etc. of our breasts.

when lying down, turning around or moving about in any way, boobs (especially large ones) change their shape. They just don’t stand there like they’re waiting for the fricken bus or some shit. they move, they flatten, sometimes they *gasp* sag. neither is a sign of ugliness or age.

If boobs spill out over the top of the bra cup, that bra doesn’t fit

Not every nude moment is sexual

Cat calls can be terrifying & are never pleasant.

Being checked out by strange men is usually uncomfortable.

Tall plus sized women exist.

Short plus sized women exist.

Plus sized women exist.

None of the above are here for your amusement.

Princess Leia, who moments ago dropped out of hyperspace after fleeing the first major battle of the Galactic Civil War: Lord Vader, I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit for this, when they hear you’ve attacked a diplomatic…

Darth Vader, who literally just saw this happen an hour ago at most and watched her ship take off: Don’t play games with me, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.

Princess Leia, who received the data from the hands of a man who witnessed Vader kill a dozen people on his way there: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.

Darth Vader, who has been following her the entire time and can read minds:

in the horrible wake of carrie fisher’s death i’ve still smiled every time i see “drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra” quoted anywhere and i can’t believe carrie fisher was so sharp and so funny that she preemptively came up with a line to comfort us about her own death

what a fucking rock star

flvffs asked: Although re the grammar post I have seen "wonton", the dumpling, spelled both "wanton" as well as "wantan", and I personally am more inclined to pronounce it "wantan".

I had no idea that was a thing!  I now know ‘wantan’ is an approved alternate spelling of the pinyin (did some research because I love Google), but it looks like ‘wanton’ is just the sex thing.  And I think the issue comes in more when people talk about ‘moaning wontonly,’ which just.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.  I dunno, that always brings me up short and makes me ask Questions. 

Anonymous asked: IT WAS SCREAMING SEEKING SCREAMING AND I THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME, SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE THIS MAN A NICE THING. also MAN chirrut and baze and the different things they judge people on, the different influences that shape who they can consider 'good', BAZE TAKING DARKNESS INTO HIMSELF TO SPARE CHIRRUT, JUST FUCK ME UP I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT THAT BEFORE AND NOW I CAN'T STOP

I’M GLAD MY DUDE BECAUSE IT’S ALL I’VE BEEN ABLE TO THINK ABOUT FOR LIKE THE BEST PART OF THREE HOURS NOW.

GOTTA SHARE THE PAIN.

thanatoswrath asked: Have you seen Yuri on ICE yet?

INDEED I HAVE MY BUDDY MY PAL.  I’m not fully caught up through the end of the first season, but I feel so #blessed to have this sort of gay shit in my life, like, my god.

Anonymous asked: HE HAS A FACE LIKE A FRIEND

First off, I love how obscure this is.  Like, is this a prompt?  Is this a request for meta?  Is this just screaming?  Who knows!

But I’m just gonna assume it’s screaming, seeking screaming, mostly because I have to get a couple things off my chest.

*deep breath*

OKAY SO, Chirrut’s comment about the Force moving darkly around someone who’s about to kill, HERE IS MY QUESTION.  Chirrut whackin’ people with his stick looks pretty nonlethal–painful, certainly, but mostly not going to kill you.  (The bowcaster thing will kill you, and Chirrut will kill you, but the stick won’t kill you.)  On the other hand, you have Murder Master Baze, basically holding his own version of the Space OK Corral wherever he decides to open fire.

So does the Force move darkly around Baze?  Do long strips of thick, sticky darkness cling to him, where he used to glow bright with faith?  Does he do the bulk of the killing to protect Chirrut’s soul from them?

AND ALSO.  Cassian, God, Cassian Andor lives so much in the desperate need to know that his terrible deeds, all the things he wishes he could forget, are what the cause needs.  He has to know that his Rebellion needs him and needs his ruthlessness in order to absolve himself.

How much would it have meant to him, to have someone tell him outright that he doesn’t have the face of a killer?  How much would it have meant to him to know that even to these monks, he has the face of a friend?
