my sisters & i usually pass the time by coming up with really detailed plans on how to hypothetically murder the people in our lives. whether we hate the person or not. parents, family members, friends, dates, acquaintances, each other–everyone’s fair game.
we decided for dad we’d probably stage a motorcycle wreck. we were leaning towards car wreck but then mom pointed out motorcycle accident made more sense. less forensic evidence & motorcycle deaths are more common. yeah.
you have to come up with a realistic, well-thought out method of murder & of covering your tracks. if you have to hide the body, you need to have a specific location & means of transportation/concealment in mind. you also need to have a plan for dealing with any DNA, forensic evidence you might have left behind. plus contingency plans for common scenarios (you get stopped by cops, etc). also, you need a cover story & alibi. then you take turns playing police officers, interrogating each other to see if your stories hold up.

when you’re a boob guy thru and thru but the jedi council only wants to talk about some dumb war
isnt this the one jedi legally allowed to fuck?
Why is Ki-Adi-Mundi the only Jedi allowed to fuck, George?
“Due to the Cerean’s social customs and low birth rate for males, Mundi was granted an extremely rare exception to be allowed to marry and have children, which was usually strictly forbidden by the Jedi Order as Jedi were not allowed personal attachments. Although Mundi cared for his family, he was required by the Jedi Order not to view them as attachments, a balance that Mundi found extremely difficult. Like all Cereans, Mundi practiced polygamy due to the 1-to-20 male-to-female ratio among his species“
The fact that the Jedi Order will let this one dude have sex in the name of reproducing a rare species but won’t break the code to “interfere” with he existence of slavery in the outer rim makes you understand why Anakin feels the way he does about them.
vampires who go to college for a history degree b/c they weren’t paying attention and want to know what they missed over the last 5 centuries
Yes, but what about the vampires that were newly turned and want to study history so that they can talk with older vampires and not feel left out. Or the ones that want to pretend that they are super old to freak people out then when someone asks how long they’ve been a vampire that can be like “Like 5 years dude”
“How old are you?” “17.” “How long have you been 17?” “Like four months.”
