guys someone talk to me about poe dameron - best pilot in the resistance, top dog, guns-blazing male protagonist - and how he was so kind. how he took an ex storm trooper at face value and with unconditional, immediate trust and even a fierce kind of joy- yeah, you go buddy! fight the darkness. i’m here to help you. i’m here to work with you. i’m not here to take control- we won’t get out of this unless we work together. 

how he didn’t treat him with suspicion or macho posturing despite the fact that he’s a top tier pilot and has probably been at war with people like FN 2187 for years. how the first thing he does once they’re out of immediate danger is give him a name, treating him like a person worthy of respect and not like another faceless white mask. how he is patient with a panicking Finn even under the incredible stress of a life or death situation, ensuring he knows what to do and being endlessly positive and encouraging instead of berating him when he falls short.

how he gets out of his jet at the end of the big firefight and sees BB8 and his whole face just lights up. how he unselfconsciously runs to BB8 like a kid, automatically lowering himself to BB8′s level. 

how he doesn’t need to be the spotlight, the center of attention. when they gather around the hologram to strategize, star pilot and battle veteran poe dameron shuts up and listens. 

how he never has a Trek-reboot Jim Kirk-style playboy sequence, no endless string of girls. not even a hint, and you know they could have stuck it in there if they wanted to. how we never see him treat another being, human or otherwise, with anything less than respect, optimism and good nature. i’m just. i mean. do you realize how significant this is?

you guys, if poe dameron is the future of male protagonists in big action movies, sign me the fuck up.

“And we learned pretty early on that we were the only ones who liked… for example, classics of foreign cinema. Why did we like them? It’s hard to say. Maybe it’s that they were weird and often violent, like us. Or confusing and possibly meaningless, like life.”

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: in 'satisfied' when they say 'rewind' and there's effects on the music, how the hell do they do that live? is it pre-recorded? do they just sing it normally, is it different on the album? and the same for the deep voice in 'the reynolds pamphlet' and 'the adams administration', if that's just lin-manuel miranda's voice pitched down on a computer how can they possibly do that live every night? is it deliberately different? did they change it later? and do they have a turntable in the middle of the orchestra? why does this bother no one else?

i just want everyone to love this line of hamilton as much as i do: 

like the internal rhyme, the assonance and dissonance???? the fact that almost every single word is involved in this ninefold masterpiece: “complicit in” “kissin’ it” “isn’t gon’” “listen to” “disciplined” “dissidents” “this is the” “difference” “this kid is” 

every time i hear this line i want to cry with the sheer beauty of it, if you can hear this line and not be impressed to tears you must have a rock for a heart idk what to tell you
