Leia Organa: BAMF

Pansexual, non-binary (They/Them). Grew up with action movies and LEGOs. Currently planning to be as inspiring as Carrie Fisher, space mom.

[theragamuffininitiative]

tagged by @cogentranting and I never tire of doing this one because the answers change / and it's lovely to get to know more people 😊

last song - "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" by Yusuf / Cat Stevens. (But as I am typing this, RAYE's This Music May Contain Hope has begun.)

currently watching - Not really current on anything, but I've been enjoying Columbo episodes as new-to-me! Woke up this morning with a really strong desire to rewatch more Adam 12 too so that might happen soon. (Also rewatch Tangled the Series but that's a lot of rewatching for me. XD)

currently reading - I am in fact still reading through Les Miserables and in fact need to finish up playing around on my computer sometime and read more of that tonight. 😅 I am genuinely enjoying it! Even the parts I am rolling my eyes at Hugo over are at least enjoyable to be rolling my eyes at. XD

current obsession - Same as cogent, idk that I have one. Needtobreathe is my beloved music and their new album is just so incredible (to me). But that's like..... more a character trait than a current obsession. 😂

currently working on - The Western, my beloved.

currently wearing - Old jeans, tennis shoes, my We Choose Welcome shirt, and a denim jacket bc this cafe is cold.

last google [noai.duckduckgo] search - Cat Stevens. Idk that much about him so I was reading his wikipedia page while I listened through a best of album.

favorite flower - I don't think about this answer often but always feel like it sort of changes. I'm a big fan of yellow and orange flowers: yellow roses, sunflowers, tiger lilies, etc.

@thewatercolours @arcenciel-par-une-larme @leiaorganahuttslayer @anelectricheartbeat @cygnascrimbles and any of my longer-time mutuals/followers who would like to! Especially if you just wanna yak at me about your recent interests. 😊

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

Sure! I'd love to!

Last song - My music tastes oscillate wildly on a daily basis, so it's hard for me to pigeonhole just one. However, weirdly enough, probably Going Back to Indiana by the Jackson 5. That or the truly behemoth music libraries I have all over the place.

Currently watching - ever more The Man from UNCLE original version, but I also discovered a cache of The (New) Avengers episodes and brought some Hullabaloo DVDs (still looking for the one episode with Robert Vaughn, anyone let me know if you find it). Generally, though, I mostly watch TMFU TV episodes.

Current obsession: The above TMFU TV. I just love television and media from back when. This is also a plug for 90skid.com, a beta app that's just basically media from the nineties. Also, generally, on a media preservation/making new media kick, made three fanvids.

Currently working on: Several fanfiction WIPs at once. And I keep getting more plot bunnies, so there's that. Also, trying to get a job so I can have time to maintain my hobbies.

Currently wearing: Pajamas but I was just in Boston and got a good bundle of clothes from all over the Boston area. I am very fond of the Students for Kennedy sweatshirt I got at his museum though.

Last search: Relating back to the whole JFK museum, pictures of him with Robert Vaughn because the Kennedy family and the latter were apparently buddies. Also, just more about certain locations and such like.

Favorite flower: I am very partial to sunflowers! They grow tall and big and of course, slava Ukraine!

Anyone is free to join in the tag game! No pressure!

I swear there was a post somewhere that said this:

Brother Love hell is Captain Shark heaven...

or something to that effect, which is Hilarious actually given the plot lines in their respective episodes.

[chiefofboatwatsonstittymug]

Hello that was my post! It was on something @academicgangster said when we were rewatching one of them

[academicgangster]

We were rewatching The Love Affair (banger episode, almost as much of a banger as The Shark Affair) and I said Brother Love's monologue shows he's exactly the kind of person that drove Captain Shark to his doomed effort to save humanity

And that if Captain Shark heard him say that bullshit he would immediately snap and beat Brother Love to death with his bare fists (and he'd be right to do so, lol)

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

Thank you for the response! I was just thinking you were exactly the sort of person to say so. And I agree! Captain Shark was an amazing character and I loved him. The dissonance between him and Brother Love is very stark and you can tell by Napoleon's response to each of them: he tries to save Shark even after the man has whipped him but is more than willing (and does!) place the latter's own explosive in the helicopter Love plans to escape in.

I almost would want to write a double drabble about Love and Shark interacting with one another but I have many many wips myself. But regardless, here's a juxtaposition:

While I couldn't find a gif of the picture itself, it shows very much Napoleon's perspective of Brother Love and the man's just sheer, shall we put it, active hatred of humanity, and megalomania. (I like to think that would be a similar face Captain Shark would sport if he and Brother Love ever interacted--right before Shark beat him to death, as you said, with his bare hands). Look at how Napoleon's distaste becomes extremely and he soon after calls him Brother Machiavelli, which is pretty in-line with how Brother Love aspires himself a dictator over the 'weak lepers'.

Meanwhile, Napoleon tries his best to help Captain Shark even after the man has whipped him. While he does call Shark's endeavor doomed, he still offers the man the last spot on the lifeboat and lets him down gently with the quote above being only but a small parcel of what he says to him. I've said similarly elsewhere, Napoleon's best character trait is his tendency for mercy but make no mistake, he has no tolerance for megalomania and dictators.

To take a glimpse out of universe for a brief second, Captain Shark is a very understandable figure especially in all of this unrest, which has only expanded since the 60s. Meanwhile, in Brother Love, we see the seeds of what is to become our (admittedly American-centric) current struggle with evangelism and the problems it has sown.

Back to in-universe, Captain Shark absolutely would beat Brother Love to death with his own hands and I hope in a version of TMFU's afterlife, it is very much his heaven to chase Brother Love (who's in hell) and deliver a well-deserved beating.

happy pride

[torsamors-deactivated20250510]

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

Abbey Jordan, the Civil Rights Actress and advocate for natural Black hair! She'd be amazing and you know it.

Girl also broke into a UN Security Council meeting with Maya Angelou and others. They went to talk to Malcolm X afterwards, who was having lunch and he complimented them for it.

if you have one, tag with the "6 degrees of separation" you have with a celebrity

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

I met George Takei once. Nice man by the way and he autographed his book for me.

Went to elementary, middle, and high school with the TikTok famous Mian twins. We were friendly back in elementary.

Also went to elementary school with the older brother of a kid known for having a rare disease (that died recently).

Went to middle school with a semi-famous singer.

My dad met Brendan Fraser once. And my mom's encountered a lot of famous people (mostly ambassadors and such like) when she worked at the United Nations.

Had a college class with the daughter of the Ambassador of Oman.

My grandmother was courted by an Iranian sheikh/noble/rich man while a displaced person.

There's probably more but that's what I can recall right now.

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

Speaking of the Some More:

My grandmother's uncle by marriage was a mayor of New York City that oversaw the economic crisis of the seventies. She apparently went to his funeral.

My mom's cousin worked as a secret service agent and one of her uncles worked for DuPont Chemicals as a chemist.

I met Roseanne Scotto once during my college's 125th anniversary shindig.

My mother is related to a former Polish millionaire.

My dad worked in place where you could see the likes of Bill Murray nearby and has seen Tom Selleck filming a certain series. (No, not Magnum PI)

We have an autographed copy of Sarah Palin's autobiography and another book by Ray Kelly.

Also distant cousins to the baseball player Carl Yastrzemski

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

Fun (TMFU-related) fact!

Napoleon is a fan of Buck Rogers serials (or at least knows what Buck Rogers is).

Do what you will with the information that the radio show came out the year his actor was born.

Information from that oddly-prescient televangelist episode (Season 1, Episode 26: The Love Affair)

Current twitter drama is Europeans confidently declaring that they don't need to drive or use overpriced public transport to get to the MetLife stadium for the World Cup; they will simply walk down the highway to get there. Girl it's New Jersey. They're gonna splatter you for fun.

[lesbianshepard]

I think a lot of Europeans think that the stadium is in the middle of a city and surrounded by infrastructure, which is why they keep insisting that they can just walk from point A to point B. It's not! It's in the fucking Meadowlands!!!! You have multi lane highways and a literal toxic swamp and that's it!

[lesbianshepard]

"Well if there are a LOT of football fans they'll stop for us!"

There's a video online of a trucker who accidentally hits a flock of sheep in the middle of the highway at full speed and splatters them. Has to turn the windshield wipers on to wipe away the blood. This is what every Jersey driver yearns to do once they get on the turnpike.

[lesbianshepard]

girl help they're now demanding NJ build a bridge over the highway (???? from where???) or shut down the fucking I-95 (one of the busiest highways in the country that everyone commutes on) for their little soccer game.

[effervescible]

I live close enough to the Meadowlands to regularly curse the hubris of the American Dream mall and this is the funniest shit I have read in YEARS. A lot of the European twitter people seem to think we are DEFENDING the Meadowlands and the general layout of the area like we think it was good urban planning. Girl no! It is a shithole, we know it is a shithole! (Although the actual swamp is kinda pretty from the window of a train heading to Secaucus Junction.) We are not trying to express pride, we are trying to save your life!!!!

I MEAN. I know people talk a lot of shit about American arrogance and they're not wrong to do so, but look at this, my fucking god.

[obama-stolemy-vcr]

._. Let them perish

Whats funny is they think ppl are defending the infrastructure. Like...no bitch we know it's ass. We are telling you it LITERALLY can't be done

[brehaaorgana]

Right like, no no. We KNOW it is horrible. We KNOW it should not exist like that. MetLife stadium shouldn't have been built in a swamp like that. Everything about its existence is bullshit. This is probably the WORST stadium to try and get to, considering that it is illegal to try and walk there.

FIFA has also intentionally MADE it worse. Because they're closing the parking lot. They're also preventing ride shares from what I can tell??

Meanwhile the governor of New Jersey is saying this is going to cost NJ $48 million to deal with the ridership, and wanted money to offset that, which FIFA doesn't ever do. So they decided to massively inflate train fares to offset the cost.

Again, while trying to prevent rideshare services from occurring.

Oh, ALSO people in New Jersey and New York City are all being told to "work from home" on days of the world cup matches because the public transit congestion is expected to be that bad, coincides with rush hour, and because for some of it, they're full closing off public transit to anyone who doesn't have FIFA tickets.

And then there are people complaining about our "shitty national stadium" and I don't even know how to begin to explain that MetLife isn't even the biggest capacity stadium in the US. It's not even in the top ten. (It is #15).

I genuinely do hope everyone is just being a bit of a troll when they say they're going to walk on the 95 or some shit because people will 1000% die. I don't even know what a comparable metaphor for this is.

But you cannot just shut this road down:

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

Also, as someone who lives in NYC's red-headed stepchild of a borough, we have I-95 here too and the traffic is going to be Hell on Actual Earth.

On top of that, NYC schools are gonna still be in session DURING World Cup time until the 26th of June, so not only will you get angry New Jersey drivers, but you'll get irate teachers that live in New Jersey trying to get to work.

IT WILL BE A WHOLE MESS.

[pirepoumon]

all i want out of mfu fandom right now is a fic centering on napoleon’s immense self-sacrificing need to secure every innocent (and, well, every not-so-innocent). like. it’s probably the thing i missed most out of the movie reboot even though i loved napoleon in the movie.

dude gets himself flogged in shark affair & still tries to save the captain who had him flogged at the end. the entire string of “you’d risk the whole mission for one man?” bad decisions to save illya. him reassuring the innocents like the teacher-guide in dove affair & the fiddlesticks girl it’s okay to be normal. him not telling the other diplomats the PM who died was a traitor.

[leiaorganahuttslayer]

It's one of Napoleon's best traits actually, he believes in the best of people and has remarkable empathy. Both are rare traits especially in a character considered a James Bond equivalent for television.

From the Doylist perspective, it feels it's because like the 60s were very much an era for it on television screens because it was so newish and pushed boundaries in a way modern television sometimes lacks.

Meanwhile, from the Watsonian, we do get hints that Napoleon's been through his own tragedies and therefore empathizes with the innocents. There's someone out there that put it better than I (likely theniftycat) that Napoleon just deeply cares about people in general.
