I don't know what I'm doing...

Hello internet! My name is Jessica, but Emka calls me Jessa. I am a first-rate fangirl, addict of the food, companion of the written word, and lover of the music. I love too many things to list. Also, please enjoy my box of fire below, because I don't know how to make it go away. I promise I do not bite unprovoked! Especially if you have cookies. Bring me cookies and we shall be best friends.

Please stop with this nonsense that Anakin didn’t care about the clones or that the clones didn’t respect/like Anakin.

Anakin treated them like people, not clones. Every life of a clone mattered to him, they just weren’t a number or a designation. Anakin stood shoulder to shoulder on the front lines not bk at HQ. 

And as for Anakin Skywalker’s improvised plans, well, it’s called trust.

Captain Rex and Anakin formed a special bond. A very special bond that revolved around trust.

Captain Rex even says in Star Wars Rebels:

The general I fought with was among the greatest of the Jedi. I trusted him with my life more times than I can count… and I tried my best to keep that trust.

In the Season 4 finale, Rex also states:

In my experience, when it comes to Jedi, the worst the plan, the better the result.

Anakin’s tactics almost never failed. He improvised because that’s what a good leader does. Anakin led by example. He adapted when necessary.

People bash on Anakin’s plans too harshly in my opinion when in reality they are better than Windu, Yoda, and Obi-Wan. There is a reason why the 501st never show distaste to Anakin’s methods because they worked, and even when they don’t, he’s willing to jump into the frontlines instead of allowing his men to die and doing nothing.

Clone Troopers were also bred and trained to adapt. That’s why they were more efficient and effective than droids. Rather than having to follow protocol all the time, they were able to adapt in situations that called for adapting and improvising. They had not only the training, but the talent from within to do so effectively.

Anakin is full of flaws and you can dislike this character, but it doesn’t change that he CARED about the clones, exactly like the other Jedi. It’s canon.

I love how everyone is constantly sick of obi wan & anakin’s shit. they’re annoying when they’re getting along, they’re annoying when they’re fighting, they’re annoying as obsessive arch nemeses…………I cannot begin to imagine how annoying they were as force ghosts

OBI-WAN KENOBI 1x06 ‘Part VI’ | Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

[assiraphales]

physically ill bc vader’s single goal for ten years was to find obi wan and make him suffer. but when he does, he finds a man just as broken as him. vader is physically damaged, but extremely powerful. obi wan is physically fine, but extremely weak. they have both been suffering for a decade. and instead of making obi wan suffer more, he sets him free—you did not kill anakin skywalker.

Regardless of what you ship, it really is hard to avoid the contrast between Katara and Mai and their respective relationships with Zuko.

The fact that Katara shocks Zuko out of what he believes about himself and the world and lambasts him for not caring about the world - she criticizes him for hunting Aang, the world’s last hope for peace, calls him a terrible person, and then says “but what do you care?” which gets to him, and he immediately deflects (”you don’t know what you’re talking about”) but then when he sees a bit of her own pain, he apologizes and her opening up to him causes him to do the same with her, admitting that he does care and that he knows that what she is saying is true and that he can choose to make his own decisions, he can choose to not continue the cycle of hatred and violence, he can choose to care about the world.

Of course, he makes the wrong choice, and his relationship with Mai gives him something to cling to after choosing to go back to the Fire Nation, but it’s also a reminder to us, the audience, that he made the wrong choice. The advantage of being with Mai is that he doesn’t have to question his choices. He doesn’t have to care about the world, and in fact her bleak perspective validates Zuko’s selfishness in choosing to go back and assuages his own guilt at what he knows to be true. It’s a comfortable lie, that Mai and Zuko get to hate the world while having all of its advantages, and I also believe that when Zuko realizes this about himself, that’s also part of his frustrations with Mai. He tells her that he’s upset with her for not having any passion at the same time that he’s angry at himself for not caring.

It’s also why he’s drawn to Katara later, despite or especially because she feels so betrayed by him, and why he wants so badly to get her forgiveness, because she did shock him out of his own self-centered worldview and he wants to be the kind of person that could live up to her standards.

zuko deserves someone who validates his feelings (katara) and katara deserves someone who’s mature enough to handle her (zuko)

If youre a black woman and you ever find yourself in a public conflict with a white woman I want you to try something, cry first. Cry first. Cry like you’ve never cried before. You be the damsel in distress first. I did this in accident once (I was genuinely in distress) and when I tell you this white bitch looked like she was going to self destruct. She was damn near shaking as people were being nice to me and ignoring her. She even tried to start crying herself to see if her old tricks would work but it was too late. I was the damsel in distress and she was the bitch. I’ll never forget that interaction as long as I live.

andrew garfield really said his spiderman was an anti capitalist, "representing the people", working class bisexual spiderman and got fired for it

and now with his character's renaissance he got to play his character just like that because marvel needed him for this movie to be good and tbh it's what he deserves
