possibly a hot take but i think Mon Mothma in Rebels is a REALLY good example at just how big the divide between the Core and Outer Rim and how out of touch people from the Core are when it comes to the struggles of people in the Outer Rim.
in Mon's speech in Secret Cargo she mentions wanting, as part of toppling the Empire, to restore the Republic. which makes sense to her; she's from the Core, the Republic only ever served her. She only ever reaped the benefits of the Outer Rim's exploitation. But her message reaches Lothal, whose experience with the Republic vastly contrasts her own. Prior and during TCW Lothal was suffering severely. they had a livestock plague and severe drought that devastated their only source of income, and they had reached out to the Republic multiple times for aid. and the Republic didn't help them. they couldn't spare the resources to help a small, backwater planet on the edge of the wild space. and this culminates in one final plea, which the newly formed Empire finally answers. to the people of Lothal, restoring the Republic doesn't mean anything positive. to Mon, restoring the Republic means going back to a system that she can flourish under; to the Outer Rim, it means going back to a time where the people there are deemed less important than the issues of the Core and Inner Rim.
in In the Name of the Rebellion: Part 1, Ezra brings up following through with a promise they made to help Lothal. Mon replies that Chandrila is also suffering under Empire - except we can see the huge discrepancy in how the Empire engages with the two planets. in Andor, we see Chandrila; we see that they are still allowed to engage in traditional cultural practices (like weddings), and that the nature and history of their planet is allowed to continue on despite the Empire. there are no garrisons. Mon is not oppressed for being Chandrilan. her planet is not seen for what can be exploited from it, her people not on the edge of destruction if they so much as step out of line. contrast this to Lothal: the Empire engages in wide-scale environmental destruction, forcing mass displacement and causing a serious refugee crisis. the Empire bans any artistic expression that shows any kind of nostalgia for a pre-Imperial era, effectively suppressing pre-Imperial Lothali culture. there is no regard for the people of the planet beyond what they can provide the Empire; in fact, the occupying forces explicitly oppress the native population. things might not be pleasant on Chandrila, but the worry on Lothal is that the planet might not survive any longer.
Mon Mothma is a rebel who stands against the Empire. she gives aid and support to the rebellion and she is hugely instrumental to their success.
but she is also from the Core, and her experience with the Republic, and later Empire, vastly differs from that of someone from the Outer Rim.
you are playing with an imaginary toy in an imaginary sandbox. fandom is all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild. canon is only a suggestion, not a rule. how much of canon you will follow, if any, is entirely up to you.
please stop trying to apply rules on hobbies and something that’s supposed to be your comfort place and a form of self-care.
“is it okay if I think this” “is it okay if I imagine that” it’s YOUR little world that you create for yourself and your own enjoyment. you literally do not need strangers’ opinions or permission when it comes to a hobby that doesn’t harm or affect anybody in real life. again, it’s YOUR imagination, YOUR world, YOUR creation. you have all the power and the freedom to:
headcanon whatever you want, however you want
ship whatever you want, however you want
write whatever you want, however you want
draw whatever you want, however you want
create whatever you want, however you want
reject whatever you want, however you want
as long as you’re not harming anybody in real life, how you have fun with fictional characters and your imagination is no one’s business but your own’s.
last but not least: fiction is not, and will never be, a reflection of your real-life moral compass. what you like in fiction does not reflect who you are in real life as a person. kill that cop in your head.

Imagine that everywhere in the mechanical engineering world suddenly got infatuated with lasers.
Lasers have a lot of uses! Measuring things, heating things, cutting things, entertaining cats, particle physics. Lasers are pretty cool. Very versatile, very useful, potential to be very powerful.
Someone shows up one day and says "I have developed a never before seen technology! I call it a Death Star."
And it's a 3.4mW laser. Well no, we haven't seen this exact size of laser much since that's not really standard, but that's a bit of a misnomer, and I wouldn't call it new -
"HOLY SHIT GUYS! This Death Star is so entertaining! My cat loves it and it has such a nice color!" The Death Star becomes a viral novelty, and is mildly entertaining, as laser pointers often are.
Somehow, seemingly overnight, this leads to mania. "Lets stick lasers in EVERYTHING! The public loves them!"
More companies make 3.4mW lasers to jump on the bandwagon. Everyone that makes anything vaguely mechanical starts sticking lasers into their designs.
Everyone is calling them Death Stars. Any time there is a "Death Star innovation", it is just that they made a bigger laser.
Ford's next truck comes out and it has "Death Star integrated headlights", where they have just stuck giant lasers in place of their previously functional headlights.
An electric toothbrush is now "Powered by Death Stars" and shoots a laser at the tooth its cleaning. You think that maybe this could have actual applications as a sanitizing device if you're being generous, but when you actually look at the product, its laser has no purpose but to point at the tooth and drain the battery.
Mechanical products across the board get noticeably worse as everyone starts stuffing lasers in places where lasers have no right to be.
The lamp business gets in on it. "Here's a Death Star powered lamp!" These guys haven't even tried to stick a laser in their damn lamps. They've just started calling their light bulbs Death Stars and hoped you bought it before you could tell the difference. You at least appreciate that they haven't ruined their lamp about it.
Death Stars are lauded as the solution to all the world's problems. If it's not working, you should stick a laser in it! That'll fix it, everyone says. Once in a blue moon, it's even true! Weather prediction is really good now. But most things are garbage. Like "Death Star powered washing machines". What the fuck does that even mean?
Meanwhile, since all functioning mechanisms are being replaced with lasers, problems start showing up. All mirrors now cost $1000+ dollars, because the whole supply is being used up to make more lasers. The earth heats up, because everyone's blasting lasers at everything. People keep going blind, on account of all the lasers.
You, in fact, study optical mechanics. You know what a laser is, and how it works, and that it was invented many years before any of this nonsense actually started. People keep asking you about Death Stars, since surely you must know so much about them.
You explain that this is not really what lasers are for, except you have to call them Death Stars now, and that they're causing a lot of harm, so you don't like them much.
"Oh, but they're still such new tech!" they reply. "They'll figure out how to make Death Stars that don't burn your eyes out soon, and then it won't be an issue anymore!"
Somewhere, deep and buried, you remember lasers being used in particle accelerators, or in telescopes, or in laser cutters, or funny cat videos. They are, in fact, still interesting. Still cool.
But by this point they have replaced roads with "Death Star Powered Pathways", which are just laser pointers propped up on tooth picks pointing vaguely through the forests.
And you think you are going mad.
And they are still just FUCKING LASERS.
This post is about AI.
Today in niche genres of joke that I can never get enough of and will probably still be secretly thinking about four years later
The most PATHETIC lil baby sounds...
I love when little creatures who are entirely loved and well cared for have the BIGGEST baby reactions to normal things. Like yes sweet pea, you DO have the hardest life of anyone ever, for sure, and you’re SO BRAVE about this minor inconvenience of *checks notes* having some water touch you
There is nothing sadder and more pathetic than a baby marine mammal having to get into the water. They are suffering the most out of any baby animal ever. How dare they be introduced to their natural environment.
[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

CHILDHOOD BACK
AND CALVIN IS WITH THE GIRL THAT HATED HIM ASFHAGS
im crying a lil bit
I need this in my tumblr forever.
is anyone gonna talk about how his kids name is bacon???
HE’S WITH SUZIE THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD OTP
who names their kid bacon
Calvin and Hobbes were Reformation-era philosophers, as was Frances Bacon. I’m better his daughter’s name is actually Frances, but he calls her by the appropriate last name of the philosopher, just as Calvin and Hobbes are last names.
is no one gonna talk about how the girls afraid of Donald Trump in her closet
I think Trump being the boogeyman makes perfect sense…
There is literally nothing about this post that I don’t love.
THERE’S MORE!!!!

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos
classic texts have nothing on the crazy people come up with in modern times tbh
“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”
– Joshua Graham, Who Is A Fallout New Vegas NPC, Something Most People Throwing This Quote Around Don’t Realize
“If the world chooses to become my enemy, I will fight like I always have.”
– Shadow the Hedgehog in what is widely considered one of if not the single worst game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise
this is the source for this text and it haunts me on a regular basis
“Pick a god and pray.”
-Fredrick from Fire Emblem Awakening
Huh, it’s almost like art isn’t just fine art…
this is my addition to this ever growing list of raw quotes originating from unexpected sources
#discovering that the profound is lurking behind the absurd#just waiting for the chance to peek through like sunlight through the clouds#is one of the best things in life once you start to notice it
this is a beautiful way to put it and i’m gonna cry abt it
this post has gotten so much better since the last time I saw it
