and now, a star wars headcanon that got sad pretty quick
but
as per usual for the jedi order
nobody went "hm, d'you think this former slave kid's deep-rooted food insecurity might be a sign of any larger mental struggles he has?"
there were some vague assurances that the jedi always feed their own, with some frustrated light shaming that anakin would even worry (fear leads to the dark side you know!) about something so trivial
but that was it
and now, a star wars headcanon that got sad pretty quick
said lunchlady also at least noticed that anakin wasn't stealing, but rather sifting through garbage, etc. for these extra snacks, and while not persuading him to just ask for more, did at least start making it a lot easier on him to grab the just-barely-out-of-date nutrition bars etc. as they supposedly went out in the trash
and now, a star wars headcanon that got sad pretty quick
of course, obi-wan and others in the jedi order largely dismissed it as "teenage boy going through one fuck of a growth spurt" because, well, when you're growing to "pretty good pick for the basketball team" height, that happens
one of the lunchroom ladies at the jedi temple fussed at obi-wan shaming him for not feeding his padawan enough, and that was about as close to the problem as anyone ever came to addressing it
and now, a star wars headcanon that got sad pretty quick
anakin skywalker as a padawan was remarkably good at keeping secret food stashes
this eventually only came to light because obi-wan was thinking he was just staying up late at night to eat (no he was doing other shit like tinkering with mechanics and happened to be hungry) and/or obi-wan got frustrated at the messy state of his padawan's room and went WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING ALL OF THESE TWINKIES????????
if they REALLY wanted to cater to me, crossover episode where Ruth Goodman comes in from the latest historical farm series to eagerly talk about whatever bits and bobs of domestic history have been unearthed and brought forward for presentation
WHAT'S THAT? A CLOTHES MANGLE? EXCELLENT! TELL ME MORE
pawn stars is just the gateway drug for antiques roadshow tbh
no lie my perfect show would be a combination of the two. no haggling, no selling, no wacky subplots feat. chumlee, but higher production values and the reoccurring rolodex of experts.
"harp, do you just want a show where the Beard of Knowledge talks about random things?"
absolutely yes.

"intersectionality"
@anarchiv i getchu now, cheers!
i'm too flinchy from non-mastodon spaces and was like "wait... are they saying all intersectionality is bad" for a hot second there but now i got the meaning of the scare quotes
"intersectionality"
@anarchiv i may just be a random asshole passing by but it seems more like a shitty person problem than like... what intersectionality actually is
unless that's the point of the scare quotes, which i'm missing because of being a creature made of grumbling and pain medication right now
The oldest known mammal species to evolve on Earth was a small shrew-like creature known as Juramaia sinensis which lived about 160 million years ago. Descended testicles are a mammalian trait thought to have been present in the earliest mammal species. So it's quite likely that anything 160 million years old is literally old as balls.
