love for sad characters and non canon ships

I want byler to be endgame so bad but I honestly don’t think the writers are gonna do it.

cannot stop thinking about how the season finale of fallout set up a road trip buddy comedy between a 250+ yo radiation cowboy who tried (and so far succeeded) to kill his humanity to survive the wasteland and an optimistic doe eyed woman whose whole brand is Being a Good Person (something the radiation cowboy used to be) and will undoubtedly crack away at his hardened leather armor. when lucy bit off the ghouls finger and then the ghoul cut off lucy’s that was a pinkie promise to be bffs

and don’t forget about co-parenting Grogu! a child of two religions! the next Mandalorian-Jedi!

atsv gwen is canon trans to me...that poster, her color palette, and her entire arc with her dad, her dad wearing a trans badge. like that's really about as textually explicit they can get in a spider-man movie and they dont even need to say it out loud

when pavitra prabhakar came on the screen the entire cinema hall whooped for him. it was such a beautiful moment because indians arent always represented right in movies or shows or any western media for that matter. but this was an amazing representation of us and it made me so happy to see the entire hall go crazy over him

Luke skywalker has so much rage inside him and I want people to recognize that. No he's not a shy baby boy, you know how much grit it takes to keep on doing and remain optimistic at the face of insurmountable evil? That boy is full of emotions. And yet he is kind. That's the key to his character - that he is full of rage but he doesn't let that stop him from hoping.

He definitely has a hair trigger temper - hell, his main character flaw in empire strikes back was his impulsiveness and recklessness - and he's so much like vader, he wants and loves so strongly and he despairs as strongly too. And what does he do with that temper? He fails, he loses, and he blows up and wrecks shit, but also that temper is the flip side of loving, and he embraces that too, he loves with all his heart. Point is, he's a very action and emotion oriented person, and that's what pushes him so close to the dark side; he's fatalistic, he's sometimes ridden with guilt, he's emotional.

But then he learns patience, he learns gentleness - learns to be a jedi. It's all learned; do or do not, yoda says, and he learns to do, to keep hoping. He isn't born as a sunshine boy, it's not his nature that makes him that way - he's naturally emotional, kinda whiny, full of rage; all the hallmarks of a darksider, but he learns to grow beyond that. That's how he can extend such an understanding hand towards sith and dark siders, his father - he knows the dark side. He understands it, he flirts with it, and yet he chooses to do better.

The meaning of luke skywalker in the star wars narrative is hope - hope isn't a magical deus ex machina that solves all your problems. It's not there all the time from the very start. It's something you cultivate, just like luke did throughout the trilogy.

Hope is continued existence. It's optimism that perseveres. You know that line of bravery being doing it in spite of the fear? Well, hope isn't the absence of giving up. Sometimes it's just screaming crying trying to kill your own father, but it's also making the right choice and trusting vader to make the right choice, too. If there's one good thing about the sequel trilogy, it's that - luke may have run away, he might have done some... uncharacteristic things, but that doesn't mean he's lost hope. He returned to fight again after all, didn't he?

Even if you fuck up, you return and fight - with a relentless optimism that being good will be enough, that the world is a better place for this choice. And Luke does that, again and again - still carrying all those emotions within him. He's a fire that burns strong and bright; he's sunshine and tempered death.

sometimes i am forced to remember that despite living in a universe where these quotes are canon padmé amidala married fucking anakin skywalker (id in alt text)

[tilforeverfalls-deactivated2026]

honestly i can never get on the will byers villain arc train cuz it feels too contrary to his character. one of the things i love most about him is despite whatever shit life throws his way (which is a LOT) he still is selfless, he still loves. and i think that a villain arc would remove that beautiful element of his character

All the cute fan art of Luke and Din being cute dads made me forget what Disney did to Luke.

Rhaenyra and Alicent - study Made a study/speedpaint from the show. I like how they colors contrast and match each other in the show perfectly.
