#rhea's notebook

my sister is so annoying to watch Star Wars with, all she does is ask where Obi-Wan is, even when he's like, RIGHT THERE, ON SCREEN, GIRL.

For every "Anakin shouldn't have been redeemed blah blah Luke is stupid blah blah SW has a bad message because it teach to forgive abusers blah blah" I draw one more Luke hugging his dad, or one more Padmé bloodsucking her husband

"hm maybe the star wars hyperfixation is already leaving me!" I say and then I want to cry and scream and bite the walls over how happy Wald and Kitster were for Anakin when he won the pod race.

LIKE DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THAT? EVERYONE CHEERING UP BECAUSE THAT LITTLE ITTY SCRAWNY SMOL SLAVE WON AN IMPOSSIBLE DEATH RACE? THE ADULT PILOTS? THE WHOLE CROWD CHEERING FOR THAT KID??? AND HE DID IT TO HELP THREE WEIRD STRANGERS? AND WALD AND KITSTER WERE SO HAPPY FOR HIM.

But they're so small, and know nothing but harshness and all the abuse of being a slave and then Anakin gives them hope, it doesn't matter what happened after but for them? IT GAVE THEM HOPE, RIGHT THEREEE. I can't imagine how that must feel, you're a DAMN SLAVE, for your whole life which is just 9-10 years of life, there's nothing but dead, you have a damn bomb in your head and you have seen others head being exploded. And then your bestie who's also a slave wins the impossible in order to help strangers and in doing so he wins his freedom. That must be so amazing, like the excitement of seeing it happen? Of being there? How many times did your bestie almost explode? but then he won and escaped tatooine?

THEY'RE NINE.

Do you think Shmi thought of Anakin every time she saw Kitster and Wald running around and playing that they got to join Anakin and become a space wizards?

Ough OUhg i have feelings okay leave me alone i need to bite on my nails and eat paint

So, a small update and I must say everything is calm now, streets are all super quiet and civilian casualties apparently were very few (rest in peace).

Stuff are hard to process, because on one hand we don't want Maduro because he is a fucking dictator, on the other hand -gestures-, I don't trust Trump to leave just rn.

But right now we're safe, it was scary but we're safe. Right now our mayor concern is buying food and goods just in case, altho everything is closed right now.

Also if you feel like leaving me a little tip I will be forever grateful, oof: (tip jar)

My main concern right now is money, because I know the prices are going to skyrocket now, oof.

I'm gonna rewatch the sequels today

[galactic-rhea]

My sister decided to not watch TFA (great!),,,but now my brother is here, and he decided he would (pain)

And like....He tried to mansplain to me the movies he didn't even watch once on his life because he thinks they're bad.

"Did you know, before CGI existed and special effects, these robots were actors"

"You know? Harrison's character and Chewie are very good friends, kinda like brothers."

and, my favorite: "That bug (mark hamill) can hate these sequels as much as he wants, but is these movies that fed him, because nor him nor the princess really had good careers, only harrison"

I consider myself a fairly chill person in fandom but very VERY few things make me as mad as people not knowing how to use trigger warnings. Like "TW" ....Trigger warning for what?? "Dead Dove" DEAD DOVE FOR WHAT, that's not a warning on itself, that's just meant to direct attention to the content. I get that is some kind of 'general fucked up stuff' but here's the catch, the general quota of what's too fucked up for someone is not the general quota of what's too fucked up for others.

The trigger warnings need to come with a context, otherwise it doesn't work because is too vague! Is like saying "oh hey, this movie has some hardcore things!" what exactly means hardcore. The TW are supposed to be objetive. Just saying 'this is dark' is vague and subjetive.
