Imagine That. root constantly leaving places without her goddamn things and the machine having to remind her whenever shaw isn’t there to just take it herself

root almost 20 minutes after leaving the place where she last remembered she had personal belongings: oh no. my bag

shaw, rolling her eyes and shoving the bag in root’s direction: took you long enough

[sarcasticshaw]

Shaw is kind of in the “If I don’t own anything I can’t lose it” camp since her apartments have guns and one very old expired milk in them 😂

OH SURE Han Solo is badass ‘cool, aloof guy’ guys, SURE

*daydreams about dating her/marrying leia the first time they meet basically* do you think a princess could like a guy like me? “NO” - Luke

He’s so aloof he threw Leia like fifteen pained glances in the first 20mns of empire strikes back

“Oh I guess its okay if you’re in love with Luke and not me” 😅… 😟…  😥😥😥😥😥

*please love me though*

“I can’t even properly get my glove off while talking to Leia Baewalker”

Leia makes a dramatic entrance, does a helmet-ripoff beautiful hair flip in her armor suit and is like “I’m here to save you!” while he’s dripping wet, scared and helpless and good thing your girlfriend is here to save you, sweetie

his best friend is a bear

Meanwhile boys be like, “I’d hate for girls to think of me like I’m Luke Skywalker and not Han Solo” look Luke is a partial bad boy by the end of the films while Solo was downgraded from movie 1 to a comedic relief side character in the last ones, can mind control or lift various heavy things into the air, lost a freakin’ hand and is so hardcore he just throws on a metal one and a dark glove over it, can make his own lightsaber, is like ‘fuck these droids i guess we can harvest them for parts’ or later on use them and Leia as an elaborate escape from Java’s creep dome, Solo and Skywalker are both moody AF but Luke might just win on that front too until he’s ‘cool guy jedi’ who better controls his turbulent emotions, confidently throws ‘you can’t kill me’ into his dad’s face even when all signs pointed in the other direction (same for ‘i won’t be evil’), told Yoda to fuck off like 10 separate times even when Yoda was just trying to be a helpful wizard cat, told Ben to fuck off when he found out ben lied to him…

We’ve turned mispronouncing Bidet Cankersore’s name into a popular enough joke that merely saying his name correctly is now a legitimately funny punchline. We’ve delved too deep into this joke. There’s no escape. Tell my children I love them.
