"He would not fucking say that" does not apply to Yoda. You could write the most batshit sentence and I could see him saying it if only to fuck with someone

Now. "He would not fucking say that seriously" does apply here

I hate that you're probably right I fucking hate it here

"Contact my secret network of Jedi across Coruscant, I will. Tracing your IP as we speak, I am."

This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not  a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.

I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian. 

Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent. But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews! 

No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you. 

Geography, people. It’s important. 

This pops up on my dash every so often. I reblog it again, not just because I wrote it, but because nothing has changed since I first posted this.

What’s cool about Iran is that it falls in 3 different regions of Asia so depending on what part of Iran you’re in, you can kind of get culture shocked a bit. The central and western part of the country is West Asia, the north east is Central Asia, and the southeast is in South Asia. 

To the folks wondering about Russia being included, I want to mention that the cultural debates and angst about that has been going on for CENTURIES. While France has been pretty fetishized all the way back from Peter the Great, there is no question that we are not Europe, even with that influence showing really obviously in historical seats of power like St. Petersburg. Nonetheless, the whole country was under control of the Mongols (The Golden Horde) from roughly 1242 to 1480, and that left an enormous Mongolian and Tatar heritage that remains to this day. The ancient Scythians are huge in the cultural imagination as well. And besides… look at the Russians who are outside the standard “Kievan Rus” phenotype (which most folks assume is how all Russians look.) 

Here are three of the 30 distinct ethnic groups in Siberia alone:

AS SOMEONE WITH NORTHERN IRANIAN (AZERBAIJANI)/RUSSIAN/ HAZARA-PERSIAN/ UYGHUR-CHINESE ANCESTRY THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL POST 

And that’s why sometimes you’ll see a person with curly black hair, pale skin, and hazel-green eyes (my grand-father’s sister) who turn out to be Chinese. Mad recessive genes game at play, I swear. Mongols, they really got around. 

I was looking for this post months ago and it was in my endless likes all along.

Oh, and if any of y'all are wondering why you don’t associate Russians with that look at all - Russia is an empire, and the conquerors are Slavs, and they pretty much get *the* say in media, cultural export etc. You know how Ukraine is under attack right now? Yeah we’re only special in that we get to be on the border with Europe and thus actually visible to it in our existence :\ (and also Slavic)

your opponent is the most selected option. please don't spoil anything in the tags

I feel like people forget that Toon Link is, canonically, the only Link aside from maybe the original NES one to permanently kill Ganondorf.

Like in all of Toon Link’s games (at least the ones following Wind Waker) he never fights Ganon again. He kills him once and for all.

This dumbass

I just find that funny

he wasn’t even the chosen one or anything he just woke up one day, got his sister kidnapped, made the gods acknowledge him, and killed ganon

Literally searched the entire ocean to put the triforce of courage back together and rebuilt the master sword almost from scratch.

Also side note ganon is the most cunning and dangerous in this game of them all since he, again, got rid of the triforce and master sword before the game even began.

If he didn’t kidnap links sister he would have won

It’s my personal headcanon that the reason windwaker’s sequels are so weird in terms of villains, is because this little bastard ENDED demise’s curse. Like the curse was that Demise would return with the hero and zelda over and over, and since this kid WASN’T a reincarnation of the hero he ended the curse by breaking the cycle through sheer big brother energy

wait a minute this isnt pride this is just spiders

might flop but….. rb with ur sign & what kind of drunk you are

true story

this was his response 5 seconds later

so on june 22nd, 2020, my friends and i were joking about winston stealing money and I made a joke about "overwatch coins"

and now.................. apparently overwatch coins are a thing in overwatch 2??????

I said that because "overwatch coins" is dumb as hell. what the fuck is happening. why did i manifest this

Can you manifest me a 12 foot tall furry dragoness GF who loves short kings next? It’s also important that she thinks gaming peaked in 2007, and loves the great outdoors as much as U do. Ideally her size renders her unable to fit inside the cabin of my pickup truck, and she may or may not exceed the payload capacity of the bed at 1500 pounds, I don’t mind.

u ok?

listening to Gravity Falls episode commentaries is great. Alex Hirsch nearly worked himself to death constantly. Grunkle Stan was nearly voiced by Matt Chapman of Homestar Runner. Literally nothing aside from the twist about Stan having a twin was planned more than a few episodes in advance. The zodiac wheel meant nothing and consisted of random symbols from the first 7 episodes because the intro was animated after those were done. Alex came up with the term “search for the blind eye” to be an extra bit for the between-season shorts before deciding to actually have a payoff for that setup and writing Society of the Blind Eye. Bill was meant to be a joke character and when Alex suggested that he be a real villain Michael Rianda responded “You, my friend, have lost the plot.” Bill getting one episode in the spotlight was basically chance and he only became the main villain of season 2 because he was so popular with the fans. The reveal of the portal at the end of season 1 was suggested by Mike without thinking it through and he left before the next season and the other writers were SO ANNOYED after that went through because they somehow had to keep that plot going for the 10 episodes it’d take to actually pay off. I am genuinely astonished that this show came together as well as it did at all.

In the recent Undertale newsletter, Toby Fox showed off an unused scene that would have occurred in the Judgement Hall had the player decided to speedrun the game! This scene features Sans chastising the player for being early and slowly eating an ice cream for about a full minute while an original, slow song plays. I’m sure this would have been quite a headache for speedrunners!

(The scene can be viewed in it’s entirety here)
