Okay Listen Listen Hear Me Out

okay listen listen hear me out

Mace Windu, son of Apollo: prophecies -> shatterpoints and also i swear there’s something about mace windu being in plays so that could count for poetry or music too

Padmé Amidala, daughter of Persephone: stands as firm in her beliefs as the oldest oak tree stands tall, believes in second chances (spring, growth, rebirth), into Edgy Boys, flower aesthetics!!!!

Leia Organa, daughter of Athena: war, strategy, wisdom

Ahsoka Tano, daughter of Artemis: freedom, endless chasing/the hunt, loss of innocence

Yoda, son of Hermes: ehehhehehehehe

Anakin Skywalker, son of any of the big three, probably Zeus or Hades though: powerful, tragic/emotional, unpredictable, angry

Obi-Wan Kenobi, son of Hestia: steady, warmth, guardian of the hearth (hope); the one left behind

aight what do y’all think🤔really struggled with qui gon (maybe dionysus bc of his major stoner vibes) and luke and pretty much the entire sequel gang. but anyways this was on my minddddd

"Then I hope you're ready for either a match or a marriage, Mand'alor,"

Jaster didn't expect to have a random Jedi return the Darksaber to him in return for nothing. Feemor just wants to make sure the future he lived doesn't happen again.

"Let him up," Jaster says quietly, and it takes a long second, but Jango finally lifts his blaster, steps back, and lets the Jedi rise to his feet. He's tall, golden-haired and blue-eyed and ever so faintly worn, but he meets Jaster's eyes over the glowing black blade in his hand and doesn't waver.

"I assumed," Feemor says, perfectly calm, deliberate, "that the Mand'alor would find more of a use for this than a Jedi."

Jaster wants to reach for the blade, wants to take it, the answer to all of the problems Tor has posed for so many years now, but -

"If you were the one to win it," Jaster says, "you have more claim to the throne than I do."

He expects objection, annoyance, bewilderment. Instead, Feemor laughs, steps back, and leans down to set his staff on the floor. With quick movements, he strips off his outer robes, his tunics, leaving him in a sleeveless shirt that shows very clearly that he's been using that big quarterstaff for a while.

"Then I hope you're ready for either a match or a marriage, Mand'alor," Feemor tells him, and Jaster feels amusement bubble up as he rises from his throne, already reaching for his helmet.

After a reply on my petty weaving-in-ends post, I have realized you all need to know about the glory of

~~~~TECHknitting~~~~

What, a blogspot site, in this, our year of 2022? Yes.

Look, are you just getting into knitting, and you've followed a couple of patterns or tutorials, but you don't really get why things go a certain way? Or are you an advanced knitter looking for refined techniques, ways to smooth some things out? Perhaps, like me, you want a clear explainer of a certain cast on/bind off, so you can clearly see how it works while you do it, and you can't stand learning things from a video you have to keep pausing, the fast forwarding, then going back to that one part you needed to see again?

TECHknitting is for you. The writer is a very experienced knitter, and better, a curious one, who develops and improves techniques, and makes the best, clearest, color-coded diagrams of the hows and whys and which ways of knitting. An archive of articles 16 years deep, each as good as the last. There's even an index by subject.

A taste:

Here is an exhaustive explanation of my favorite all-purpose cast on, with diagrams of what to do with your hands, tips for variations/improvements, and links to other relevant posts.

A thorough exploration of why your stockinette scarf curls, while garter/ribbing/seed stitch don't, due to the nature of the stitches & their relation to each other. A multi-part series, with solutions that don't work and why, and ways to modify patterns & existing items to fix it. Like do you wanna really understand the fabric you're creating, & why it behave the way it does? This is the shit.

A whole series on knitting better bands & cuffs

Posts about how to pick up stitches properly, where "properly" means "so it'll look the way you want", ie not just bc the knitting gods said so, but how and why it'll affect the fabric you're making, so you can choose the outcome you want.

Basic crochet for knitters, and how crochet techniques can be used to improve your knitting.

A favorite (complicated) bind off, and a way to fake it. And, as usual, why/when you'd want to choose one technique over the other, and technical details on how and why the two bind offs act the way they do.

Different ways to match your cast on to your bind off.

I could go on; in fact I'm having to force myself not to just keep reading these all afternoon. Seriously, it's so good.

Owen: we can’t mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of this.
