C-3PO makes me laugh because you have to remember he was assembled by a child out of things from a scrap heap. Everything about him makes sense if you bear that in mind. Anakin wanted a droid who could help his mother, but the only AI package he could find was one somebody threw out for being too fussy. The combination of tweaking to give him a worried/caring personality makes him constantly anxious. A protocol droid comes with a fair amount of language packages, but why stop there? Somebody threw out like, three different galactic language dictionaries because they weren’t the recent edition. Just load ‘em all up. all of them, even the packs that contain things like ewok and a thousand variants of different manufacturers’ droid codecs. don’t add half the other requirements most legal protocol droids have included at the factory like emergency wipe protocols or shutdown failsafes, or programmed obsolescence. Build that sucker out of non-commercial materials that are already over a hundred years old and still good, tweak it to withstand tatooine of all places.

so now you have this droid that is over thirty years old and it could never be obsolete because it was never manufactured by anybody but a kid on a sand ball somewhere, it’s never running down because it was built to last on tatooine and there’s nothing programmed in to try and urge you to buy the latest model because there is no latest model. 3P0 is simultaneously totally useless yet hyper functional because he was not made according to any specs except “the best most toughest things possible to help my mom for a long long time on a hot desert planet”

Never apologize for your giant dogs getting overexcited, if I get taken down by a 100 pound mass of fluff then that’s how I go.

Seriously, is SHTV going on a rampage against Izzy? First, there was that deleted scene where she and Jace act all arrogant toward Luke “letting” Ollie know about the Shadow World and then do exactly nothing about it because it’s not as if it’s their job to keep the Shadow World a secret.

Then, we get a scene of Izzy flattering Lorenzo before Alec asks him for a favor where, once again, Izzy gets gratuitously hit on by a random guy after she fixes his sword. By the way, Izzy just takes it with a smile because apparently, we’re back at season 1 where her only job was being the pretty distraction.

And now, we get a snippet of a scene where a sad Izzy tells a bemused Maia “she wasn’t here” while they talk about Simon. The lack of context doesn’t help at the slightest because it just looks like Izzy is justifying an involvement with Simon by guilt-tripping Maia for choosing to take care of her mental health. 

Can they please stop berating and destroying Izzy Lightwood? Thanks.

Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young women’s clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go. Children, especially young women, are expected to “keep the family together” by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior. Children don’t deserve to suffer trauma for adults’ feelings of togetherness. They’re more worthy of protection than predators. A healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection.

What I really wanted to say was was just how amazing you are. You’re courageous and thoughtful and honest, and you’re the only person I’ve ever met who, you know, completely throws me off my game. And I think I really like you.
