Star Wars Legends, Video Games, and Other General Nerdom

A Star Wars Legends fan since the mid-1990s. I can't stomach the Disney stuff, so there won't be a lot of it here. Unless I'm bitching about it.

This is why I am a Democrat-b/c this is what I want

[letshayabusa1]

I wish Democrats were as badass as Republicans want others to think they are.

As much as I love the Black Panther film as a whole, I never understood the amount of sympathy Killmonger got. He was a good villain but some people take it so far as to argue why he’s apparently not a villain like his main goal wasn’t a selfish one (to be king).

[letshayabusa1]

They fell for his propaganda.  At the end of the day, he was self-serving, only using things as a revenge against those who killed his father (in self-defense, mind you).

“He’s right about stealing cultural artifacts in museums!”  Right after he said that, and MURDERING an innocent employee, he steals a non-Wakandan mask to wear just because it looks cool.

He MURDERED his girlfriend the second that she became a liability to him.

i rly wanna know like americans and non-americans- were u immunised against chicken pox or did ur parents rather u just get infected as a child??

[letshayabusa1]

The chicken pox vaccine really wasn’t a thing when I was a kid.  It gained popularity later on.  I got chicken pox from a pair of dumbass parents who thought it’d be a good idea to take their sick daughter to the pool.

I love the fact that Marvel’s first uncensored f-bomb goes to Chris Pratt instead of the obvious choice in Samuel L. Jackson, who has turned usage of the word into an art form

[letshayabusa1]

Shit, if I did that, I’d never resurface...

Henry Kissinger turns 100.

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Evil incarnate.

[letshayabusa1]

Anthony Bourdain has left us and Henry Kissinger still lives.

There is truly no justice in this world.

You know how I knew you were human when you showed up back at base? Your earring. It was your other ear.

I just wish that they would not have added in the alien scream in there.  Make it just a tad bit ambiguous 

[miss-i-ship-it]

[stopmakingliberalslookbad]

I won't look at the notes because they will only serve to remind me that 40 is looming.

[letshayabusa1]

Beverly Hills Cop. Somehow, I have NEVER seen it all the way through. Seen the rest of the Top 10, though.

[mysharona1987]

[letshayabusa1]

I would love to find out.

Russia had ONE tank in Moscow May 9th Victort Day parade.

Republicans are cheering for the Russians.

[letshayabusa1]

I want to know how it will be before they have to take those T-34/85s out of mothballs and send them to the Ukrainian front.

[tachiisms]

every time Siri Tachi gets left out of a ‘badass EU women’ list or a ‘purple lightsaber users’ list, a puppy cries.

[letshayabusa1]

I know it’s because she was damn near a YA-book only character, but it’s a damn crime, I tell you!  A crime!

[sirikenobilegends-2005]

headcanons about Siri and Obi-Wan (with lots of SiriWan :) ). Oh, and Ferus and Anakin too.

Obi-Wan likes reading poetry and even though Siri teases him about it, she always buys him poetry anthologies for his birthday 

Siri sometimes has nightmares about her undercover mission, so she’ll go out and run until she is tired. Sometimes Ferus will hear her get up and follow her out and run with her; once she’s stopped and sat down, he’ll hug her awkwardly from behind and hold her hand. 

When Ferus left, Siri had another nightmare and went for a run and cried when she realized her Padawan (child) wasn’t there. 

Obi-Wan and Siri sometimes come to the Room of a Thousand Fountains and stare at the one they were standing by when they decided to bury their feelings. They debate if they made the right decision and always come to the understanding that they did, even if it hurt. 

When Qui-Gon died and when Ferus left, they both ended up there and quietly sat on the fountain’s edge and didn’t speak, instead just listening to the water.

When Ferus got married to Roan, he sent Siri his wedding announcement. 

The only people to know about Obi-Wan and Siri being in love (besides Qui-Gon and Yoda who knew) was Bant who helped Obi-Wan after he left the Room of a Thousand Fountains in tears. 

One time a dude hit on both Obi-Wan and Siri at Dex’s Diner and when he realized they were Jedi he freaked out, apologized, and hit a table as he tried to run away. 

Obi-Wan accidentally called Tahl “mom” once (she looked at him and gave him some snacks, telling him not to let Qui-Gon forget that he was still a growing kid). Ferus did the same to Siri. She tried not to cry at that. 

One night, Siri caught Obi-Wan washing his hair to get the blue dye that Bruck Chun had put in it while he slept. They never speak of it. 

One time, when Obi-Wan and Siri got a bit too drunk (since they were grieving after Geonosis), they both ended up trying to have an eating competition with protein pellets, before they cries and fell asleep half on top of each other. They never speak of it. 

Anakin and Ferus sometimes akwardly hang out while their Masters are having a visit, and make tea in silence. 

Siri knows Ferus has a crush on Obi-Wan and it makes her smile because she can understand why. Obi-Wan knows, but Anakin is totally oblivious and just thinks Ferus is butting in. 

[lienna]

these are so perfect!! (i actually had some of these already as well!) 

[letshayabusa1]

Yeah, I really like some of these.  Well, most of them.

Yeah... maybe all of them save that second to last one.

Texas Republicans are the worst. Abbott is subhuman scum trying to score political points.

[letshayabusa1]

Don’t call Abbot subhuman scum.

It’s an insult to all subhuman scum to be compared with him.
