hugest Star Wars fan you'll ever meet

[human-pet-they]

when the author describes someone dying and you can just tell they’ve never actually died by the way it’s written

[theuseriwantedistaken]

lack of commitment smh

[ravioliet]

"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

[lvmimis]

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

[theuseriwantedistaken]

me with Pedro pascal because what do you mean a squashy faced man with a pedo stache and concerning behaviours towards his female cast members is the pinnacle of sexuality and has the entire world pining over him.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

it really is fucking pathetic that a country with more guns than people can't hit one guy

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

[theuseriwantedistaken]

as a scientist who is studying from other scientists. I asked a professor about his research after a lecture. All I asked was ‘I saw you published a paper in Nature, what is your research about?’ My friends he knew he was gonna yap so he got me to sit down outside the lecture hall. He explained everything about transposons and their role in gene regulation SPARING NO DETAIL for fifteen whole minutes. Scientists are desparate for you to know. Scientists are begging on your knees for you to know. Scientists will talk at you until their throats hurt and you’re falling asleep and then they’ll drink water and slap you awake to continue for another fourteen hours. Do not underestimate the ability of a scientist to WANT YOU TO KNOW

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

[theuseriwantedistaken]

literacy needs to make a comeback… yes roald Dahl books were my favourite as a kid. Yes I’d recommend them to any child who ever wants to get into reading. No I will not defend the man himself or certain ideas. When I read the books as a 7 year old bookworm, the only things I felt about them was seen, in matilda I saw my own nerdiness reflected back at me, in george my inventiveness, in James my sense of adventure. That’s what’s important when you read a book, that it speaks to you. And it’s allowed to do that even when the author is a dick. Eg. Origin of species by Charles dickens. Something changed in my brain when I read the words natural selection with my own two eyes knowing this was the first time those words had ever been published. An anger rose in me when he kept referencing indigenous peoples an uncivilised and savage. That does not change the wonder I felt reading the rest of the book. I will not defend Charles dickens but I will defend his contributions to my knowledge, my psyche, and the world at large. aaaaand Harry Potter is something that fundamentally made me very happy and introduced me to ideas of power and its misuse at a very young age and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Yeah it does bother me that there are 2 Indian characters, 1 east Asian character called cho Chang of all things, and one black man with the name Kingsley shacklebolt. Bsfr. I love those books and their key message of love conquers all but no I will not be going out and buying anything related to them because I don’t want any more of my money being spent on anti-trans lobbying.

every time i think about getting back into doing art more seriously as a job i am inevitably led back to the devils question of "do i need to rejoin twitter?" and let me say that is not a fun prospect to be contemplating. it feels like making a bargain with dark forces. twitter is the evil amulet and not even in a sexy way.

[redstonedust]

i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

[theuseriwantedistaken]

”[ship] is bad because [other ship] is clearly better if you disagree I will hang you”

IS IN NO WAY EQUAL TO

“[ship] is genuinely problematic for genuine reasons and you should not in any way be promoting or condoning the behaviour / shipping of [character]”

You know you’ve fucked up when you’ve got a Jedi Master, a Sith Lord, & your middle-aged detective buddy all collectively looking at you like this: 🤨

[theuseriwantedistaken]

I loved this show and these characters an abnormal amount, but the routine and systematic killing-off of Latino characters in Star Wars needs to be studied and stopped. We’re going on a 50% basis right now. Lawson is played by Wagner moura, a Brazilian actor, dies. Cassian Andor, Diego Luna, dies. So far din djarin /pedro pascal and Poe dameron /oscar Isaac are still alive, Poe probably only bcs he won’t show up in any future projects and din because the mandalorian and grogu are both guaranteed dollar signs. But a 50% death rate is a bit wild. Especially since there was almost no reason to kill Lawson. They could have kept him alive at least a little longer and killed two boots instead (hate that droid passionately bring back spybot). We could have had a brilliant moment in season 2 where Rylee or whatever his name is dies instead and it would have been a BRILLIANT catalyst both for devon’s fall to the dark side properly and cause for a rift between Lawson, now a deranged grieving father, and maul, who probably let it happen deliberately. Maybe even a reason for Lawson to work with the empire and rylee’s mum to take down maul. Especially since Lawson is a good foil to maul’s character, where maul is trying to manipulate Devon into the dark side, and probably rylee too, whereas Lawson would constantly be pulling them both back to good things and all that, so Lawson then actively working against them when rylee dies would make a lot of sense. But whatever, I’m sure Sam Witwer and Dave have something good in the works I’m just yapping now fr

[ a post that has been stuck in drafts for a year but which is somehow still just as relevant ] Andor is changing my brain chemistry and I don’t mind one bit

currently sobbing violently and vibrating like a wind-up kids toy oh my GOD. I cannot even begin to describe my thoughts right now?? I need several business days to organise my feelings and shelve them neatly????

I just watched season 2 up to the Ghorman massacre and the episode with Mon mothma’s speech. It is breathtaking. I can’t even. I watch this, and the way they portray the empire’s control of the media, and once again I am confronted with the fact that in all the conflicts of today I have no idea what’s really going on because every scrap of information I have is fed to me by governments and institutions with an agenda I neither know nor, most of the time, think about.

how does this not terrify people?

yall luke skywalker is NOT the chosen one but he is a new hope for the galaxy

[theuseriwantedistaken]

the chosen one was unfortunately not only chosen by the Force but also chosen by other more manipulative forces and fell at their hands. Luke is not the chosen one. He wasn’t chosen for shit. He left his home to blow up a military facility because he fucking felt like it basically. Anakin was chosen, and groomed, and over and over again people chose him and chose to lie to and deceive him, chose to control him. Luke chose when he was in control and when he went rogue and he suffered the consequences of both. He was the one who dragged the chosen one back into the light side kicking and screaming. He was the final person to ever choose the chosen one, and instead of choosing to lead him to death he chose to lead him to life. Anakin was chosen by many people and Luke was the only one who chose to give him freedom.

more thoughts I was gonna leave in the tags:

obiwan is one of few people who did not choose anakin. quigon chose anakin and obiwan chose to honour quigon’s wishes. he did not choose to train anakin but he did choose to love him and he did choose to make him remain in an order that was poisoning him from the inside out and turn a blind eye to the Jedi’s manipulations of anakin, when he wasn’t actively part of them. Luke looked at this genocidal 7 foot cyborg and said I choose you as my father. I choose to see you as the man I know you can choose to be rather than the man that was chosen for you. that final choice is what led to vader’s redemption, ultimately, because Luke refused to fight him and called out to him as father and anakin finally made his own choice to fulfil the destiny laid out for him, chosen for him, so many years ago. Luke is not the chosen one, he is the chooser. And he is the legacy of a dying thing, a good and righteous thing, he is the new hope for a galaxy stuck in darkness and despair with no way out.
