Ahsoka Spoiler:

RETURN OF THE CAPTAIN KING

I just want you to know that my mom got me into watching your Wonder Woman series when I was a little girl, and I dressed up as you when I was 15 for Halloween!

I hope you have a good day!

Looking stylish!

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

The amazing @fox-trot, who not only makes astonishing art and write an amazing fic, she also responds to medical questions and gives all kinds of references for writing medic characters. Check her #medicposting tag and you'll find tons of information. Also check #star wars reference and her art tag while you're at it.

@writebetterstarwars, which seems to be inactive, but there are a bunch of references there.

@howtofightwrite The place to find out how to write a good fight scene.

@scriptmedic no longer active, but it has a great deal of useful information.

@scripttorture for your whump needs. Major trigger warning for all its content.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Look, the devil works hard, but daredevil fanfic writers work harder 😂

This is so sad y'all 😭 I know it's only been a day but I need more of them

Words can’t even express how fucking livid I am right now.

How the fuck can a weapon of mass destruction have more rights than someone with a uterus?

In what fucked up world does that make sense? Am I in the motherfucking twilight zone?

I want to get off this bus now please.

I SPOT COMMANDER CODY

I’m just saying that if that were BLM, there would be blood in the streets. Where’s the rubber bullets and tear gas for the armed rioters storming the Capital Building? Ya’ll just ran out? Last spring-summer shooting at actual peaceful protesters drained your arsenal? The fuck?

Memento Mori my friends.

Non-lifeguard thing:

Okay so we get a confirmed Red Hood in Titans, and I’m here for it...

But I got some queshions->

1. So like, is Jason gonna die in this coming season? Cause that’s kind of a spoiler (-not-really-tho-cause-we-been-knew-his-story-unless-you’re-a-newer-fan) on DC’s part by revealing Red Hood a bitch too early

(Personally if they wanted to do a correct Red Hood for ‘Titans’, I’d say kill Jason off in season 3, season 4 be without a Robin, have season 5 be with Tim Drake becoming Robin, then introduce Red Hood in season 6 when he sees Tim as a ‘replacement’ and how Batman DIDNT do shit to avenge his death, gets all up in his feelings about it and boom there’s 2 years of plot for Titans.)

2. If Jason doesn’t die by Jokers hands, then why tf is he called Red Hood then? Kinda wouldn’t make sense to me???

3. Don’t get me wrong, I need a live action Red Hood in my life, and Curran is doing an amazing job as Jason Todd, but I kinda feel like he’s a bit too young-looking for DC to just toss him into being Red Hood so quickly. Maybe it’s just me, but I imagine Jason-Red Hood Days as being in his mid-late twenties, where as in Titans I believe Jason said he’s 19.

4. We’ve already seen some behind the scenes pics of Robin and Rose for season 3, and Jason still is Robin (in the few pics I saw on Curran’s insta, he’s still ‘Robin’ at least), so it really makes me wonder what DC’s plan is? I really hope it’s not a season cliffhanger, or season-ending moment, cause if I’m being real, I haven’t been all that impressed with how Titans ends their seasons. They all seem very rushed, and with major plot holes in my opinion.

Take this with you

John Boyega at Hyde Park demonstration #BlackLivesMattter

You can fuck all the way off. Can’t tell you how many creeps I’ve had at my pools. Y’all are fucking disgusting and I hope you drown.

If you call pedophilia a kink please unfollow me and never talk to me again

The panic over COVID-19 causing people to hoard shit unnecessarily means I can't find medical supplies (like disinfecting alcohol wipes) without paying an obnoxiously exorbitant amount.

Generally healthy, able-bodied people don't need masks, exam gloves, or alcohol swabs to protect themselves against COVID-19. But chronically ill people and their caretakers do need those supplies to live their everyday lives.

Calm the fuck down and wash your fucking hands, ableds.

Okay, so like, if we all kinda agree that Hawks has bird-like tendencies, can we agree that he has at least (a couple times) done the bird wash thing where they ruffle themselves in a puddle of water- but like, he’s done it in the bathtub? Does he do it on purpose or is it an instictual thing? Does he make a mess or does he have specialized bathroom floors that are splash-zone safe? Does his S/O accidentally see him do this and say nothing or do they just kinda shrug and be like ‘well birds do that.’

I need answers.

Sitting on the stand is so BORING OMG. You have no choice but to come up with different scenarios in your head. For example:

‘What would I do if there was an active shooter right now?’

‘Is my cat really deaf, or is he just faking it cause he hates me?’

‘What if some hot guy/gal came in right now and started hitting me up?’

‘I wonder if witchcraft is right for me?’

‘Is that pizza-rat in the subway just Master Splinter on his way to feed his 4 turtle sons?’

‘Let some maniac come in here talkin bout some ‘Bakugou is better that Deku’ I swear to god someone’s about to catch a fade.’

Kid at my pool hearing my speaker from the guard chair: you listen to Billie Eilish?

Me: I mean, sometimes, yeah.

Kid: Dang, you DEPRRESSED depressed

Chlorine, sunscreen, and the constant feeling of being disappointed but not entirely surprised.

if your blog had a smell, what would it smell like?

If it makes you feel any better, I once had a large (around 5 foot) black snake in the pump-room which is also our chemical room and guard room.

WELL a bird flew into the building at swim practice and flew around for a few minutes before crashing into a window and getting hurt that was an adventure

Okay, idk where this is banned but please ban it everywhere. The kids at my pool call it ‘colors’ and instead of just splashing, the person who’s ‘it’ calls out colors and if someone’s color is called in the water, they HAVE to take off swimming. And it gives me so much anxiety. But the kids ‘walk’ when they play it instead of running in, but it’s still not a game that should be played at the pool. Someone could get seriously injured, and it’s actually happened where one kid got too excited and was running and busted his toe open on the edge of the pool, and a little girl smashed her face into the wall because she wasn’t paying attention while playing the game.

Please ban this game everywhere.

My pool just banned the game lifeguard which is something I’ve been begging for for years THANK THE LORD!!!!!!!!!

Back at it again with a new meme

Oop look at that, I made another one.

I made a meme

“I don’t like how y’all operate”

-A transcript of an inside joke between me and my co-Guard.

-Additionally why you should get ‘in’ with the regular pool moms

Guard 2: *whistles for adult swim time*

Group of children: *still in the pool after 2 minutes*

Me: Guys come on, adult swim time, y’all gotta get out.

Group of children: *not hearing me because they all have ear plugs in*

Me: *a little louder* GUYS come on, let’s go! Out of the pool please!

Children: *seeing me waving my hands at them telling them to get out, finally start getting out*

Mother: *who has been watching this whole time and knew it was adult swim and did nothing to tell her own kids to get out* come on, get your shit together we’re leaving.

Me: Come on guys, your mom wants to leave, let’s hustle!

Mother: I don’t like how y’all operate.

Me: I’m sorry...???

Mother: I don’t like how you shouted at my kids.

Me: *internally* your kids weren’t listening, they had ear plugs in and couldn’t hear me, and you weren’t doing anything about them either, so I don’t like how I just had to parent your kids for you but you ain’t hear me say shit about it now did ya?

Me: *externally* Oh, ma’am I’m sorry about that-

Mother: The other lifeguard didn’t even call for an adult swim. Y’all just petty.

Me: Oh, no ma’am she did. She whistles 3 minutes ago. All the other kids got out too *i motion to the other kids who are all sitting outside of the pool*

Mother: You did’t have to yell at them like that. You should have just got them attention another way.

Me:??? Okay, sorry about that ma’am. Have a good day.

Me and Guard 2 sharing a look of mutual ‘tf is her problem?’

Cool Pool Mom (to me): Sweetie don’t worry about her. Her husband’s cheating on her anyway.

My face:
