I don't speak frog @spotchka-aunt - Tumblr Blog

I invite my closest friends and family to a gender reveal party, but when I open the box with maniacal flourish instead of pink or blue balloons, a television screen is revealed.

I dim the lights remotely as we hear Cate Blanchett say, “The world is changed. I feel it in the water.”

Too late, they realise.

The pregnancy? A scam.

The Lord of the Rings editions? Extended.

The doors? Locked.

asexual-musings

no one:

asexuals before realizing they’re ace: isn’t it weird how we call people “hot” when we just mean, like, pretty? it makes it sound like you actually feel hot when you see them. which isn’t a thing. anyway

ok i am absolutely losing it over the sheer number of people who found out what hot means from this post

Man, this is like the time my therapist explained that watching characters with "chemistry" is supposed to make you feel aroused. Who knew, right?

I'm sorry what?

I thought it was supposed to make you intrigued like any other plot device

My favorite genre of reality is when allos talk about a thing that happens to them specifically, assuming it’s a universal experience, and confuse the absolute ever-loving SHIT out of every asexual in the room.

#Wait 'chemistry' is supposed to make....you the viewer aroused?#Is that actually a thing wait a minute #The feeling hot part still blows my mind and now I gotta see if this new addition is an actual thing #Ace #Nonfandom

I know I keep saying Legolas is The Cutest, but he really is The Cutest. Look at him.

"Mr Tree, Mr Tree! Can I visit your home and bring a friend he's very nice he killed 42 orcs he's my best friend in the whole world can we visit pretty please I love trees"

you know john boyega was so right that finn would have a white lightsaber. the color of healed kyber- kyber that had been hurt and been used to hurt, but through healing and love being returned to it’s truest self. finn being taken and trained to hurt and choosing healing and love. finn using his powers to heal a bleeding kyber crystal when he’d only ever known the force as a force to hurt. white is also the color of stormtrooper armor, the faceless mask he was forced to become. he’ll always carry that with him, but now he carries it as a weapon to help others, a symbol of justice. he understood the assignment.

For no reason in particular… a friendly reminder that this is Ian MacDiarmid’s side profile.

If you’re over-exaggerating his nose to the degree I have to deadass do a double-take thinking your art is purposefully mimicking textbook antisemitic imagery with your Palpatine design just to make him seem “extra evil”, it might be time to go back to the drawing board and rework the piece.

Overexaggerating hooked noses to the point they’re evoking harmful antisemitic motifs especially on evil/greedy characters comes from an expansive, insidious history of trying to dehumanize and demonize real people with these features (largely Jews and Arabs).

Just please be mindful - especially since Star Wars itself already has a gross history of perpetuating this type of imagery:

Watto.

Palpatine’s animated design.

Dooku’s animated design.

The Munn’s (you know, the “evil” race of aliens that control the banks) actually having caricaturized noses ADDED to them in TCW TV show.

I largely, and perhaps even naively, don’t think this is an intentional thing in most cases because it is something that is unfortunately so widely pervasive in pop culture around the world. But I do want others to be aware of how your art reads to some of us.

Is it antisemitic to have characters with hooked noses? Absolutely not, hooked noses rock.

Rather, it becomes antisemitic when you’re combining several antisemitic tropes that portray these features in consortium with 1.) overexaggerating them to purposefully make a character appear more grotesque/ugly/evil and/or 2.) combining them with other harmful, antisemitic stereotypes (money/wealth hoarding, connection to conspiracy theories, dehumanization ie. eating babies/being demonic, puppetmasters, etc).

Additional materials on antisemitism/antisemitic imagery: a past post that goes into fuller details about the history of Star Wars’ antisemitism, The US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Holocaust Encyclopedia (typing in “antisemitic imagrey” will give you many, many historical examples), history of antisemitism by UNESCO, article on antisemitism in Star Wars (Al Jazeera), Antisemitism Explained by Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza, more examples from the Blavatnik Archive.

Okay, public service announcement over haha.
