KOTOR Rambling (mostly)

This was supposed to be a secondary account to post kotor things. Then I start adding other star wars things. Then I realized I don't ever use my main blog anyway so stay tuned I'll probably start talking about other random things too. Who needs consistency right?

Sooo, I opened a shop on acggoods

It's got lots of stuff! Prints and stickers for now. For those familiar with my etsy, it has those things and more. Some quick examples:

And it will get even more stuff if this goes decently🙏

Why do these videos of tourist in Italy always act like we are backwards and/or a luna park. I just saw one say we don't have/drink cold water??? Yes we tipically don't put ice in water but the water bottle goes in the fridge??? What restaurant just gives you warm water wtf

And you can drink your damn cappuccino whenever you want. Maybe you'll get weird stares if you drink it with your lunch.

Also we aren't stuck in the 50s. I don't know why so many MODERN movies act like we are.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

I am here to tell you (information that you might already know) that in SWTOR, you can date Revan’s descendant Theron.

And Darth Marr and Theron’s mom Satele totally don’t have anything going on.

knowing revan has descendants in swtor while not personally subscribing to swtor's canon about revan's gender makes the idea of them meeting rlly funny to me

Has anyone who played curse of Strahd realized he's basically Immortal Gaston or it's just me-

I'm watching (and rewatching) so many wedding dances video that my phone will be convinced I have to get married in August or something (it's for art ref)

[inkdoe]

I swear once I read something about the jedi teaching to dance cause it can help with the force control or something, but I don't know if:

1) It was an headcanon

2) I dreamed it

3) It's actually a throwaway line somewhere but we don't know anything more

Could I google it? Yes but this is funnier

[samthecookielord]

Man i hope im not mischaracterizing or flanderizing the character....

>looks inside source material again

>they are exactly like that

>sometimes even more like that than i remembered

artfighters. I love you. SO many of you are posting beautiful clean pieces but marking them as basic sketches. or you're doing wonderful shading but marking it as minimal/no shading. PLEEAAASE GIVE YOURSELVES THE POINTS YOU DESERVE!!!! if it has more shading than just a shadow under the neck, it's not "minimal/no shading"!!!! GET YOUR POiNTS! [:

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

I want you to understand this. I NEED you to understand this. My mother read me the hobbit as bedtime story, and I started pushing myself to read before pre-school so I could in fact read the hobbit for myself instead of having to wait for bedtime.

I didn't do so right away but jesus wept I PUSHED myself to learn to read SPECIFICALLY so I could read The Hobbit! It is, in fact, a children's story! And children only see page count as 'there is a lot of this fun story to read!'

Being into fairytales is so weird because in my head they unironically have huge intellectual value as pieces of cultural heritage that reflect the social and cultural values of their respective countries and time periods, as well as being such beautifully simple and universal stories that they can be endlessly reimagined in incredibly impactful ways and then you walk into a bookstore and ask for fairytale related books and they shrug at you and ask if you've tried the children's section and then you're abruptly reminded that the vast majority of people do not in fact share that perception lmao

Sometimes I think about what would happen if my ocs had a fandom and I'm horrified. Especially for my girlies.

I often joke with my friend that for every ship/fandom there's at least one princess mononoke "You're beautiful" scene redraw, and this is true for kotor too cause I'm sure I've seen a revastila version (I may have reblogged it too but idk), but I was wondering if a revanasi one exist. And if not, should I do it-

[inkdoe]

Anyway a while ago I rewatched Solo for... reasons, but anyway there is a moment where Lando thanks WhatsisName McTraitor for killing Aurra Sing and doing him a favor... and I'm like sorry WHAT

How. When. Why. Was that just a throwaway line or is this something we've seen on screen somewhere. What beef did Lando have with Hondo's ex. Is this how we find out she's dead or did we already know (I still have to finish clone wars...). In conclusion... WTF

I don't want to buy mass-produced garbage from a big box store so I go to etsy but half of etsy is now dropshipped mass-produced garbage or AI slop so I go to the local arts and crafts street market but a ton of those booths are also selling the same generic plastic objects or identical stickers or 3D printed dragons so WHERE do I buy real trinkets and art from sincere freaks

[inkdoe]

Anyone else is always been REALLY good at predicting what romances would be made canon in a piece of media? Sometimes I have to read one line to know. Other times I've guessed it between side characters way before these side characters met. The funny thing is that I've been doing it since I was little so idk how/where I learned a pattern recognition this accurate. Now I can sometimes point to obvious signals like the music or a camera angle or whatever, but other times it's pure instinct so...
