#not to be bitter but i got 3 likes and 0 reblogs on my lizzie fic that i posted last night #whereas i usually get like 26 ish notes for my other stuff in the same amount of time #and like. ive seen SO many posts of 'dont forget lizzies story' #i definitely havent!! i am definitely writing lizzie-centric things!!! #its just that no one cares to actually /read/ it #it does feel a little less like caring about lizzie's story and more about protesting against the misandry by using lizzie's story #as an example #idk maybe im thinking too much about this but yk. support artists and writers pls #dont just compain about how no one is writing when i am!!! we are writing!!! we are drawing!!! #are you reading? are you reblogging? #wren wrambles #im not gonna maintag this cause its more of a rant than anything but #yeah

The mental gymnastics people on this site will do to not admit that their fave is racist is actually mind-boggling.

You all have this understanding of racism that is so fuckig basic and naive. Racism isn't just "I don't like POC" anymore. It is a consistent and constant dehumanizing and ostracizing of POC from spaces. It is applying a different set of rules for how you expect POC to behave and function. It is a refusal to listen to them when they tell you something is offensive. It is refusing to listen to our stories and voices. It is refusal to defend and stand up for us when we are being silenced or attacked. It is when you defend a relationship with a racist person by saying shit like "everyone has the right to their beliefs". It's a lot of things and Taylor has checked the box for a lot of those things in turn.

This is just off the top of my head but Taylor's racism includes:

Using antisemitic dogwhistles like "shameless greed" against a jewish man

Not actively calling out the fucking nazis in fanbase

Appropriating the concept of Karma for her shitty song and using a lot of vaguely Indian imagery for the music video

Turning black women into a caricature for her music video

Never apologizing for taking a picture with a guy who had the fucking swastika on his shirt

Being friends with a guy who publicly admitted he gets off on black women being brutalized

Saying nothing while her fans attacked and drove a black actress off of social media for a line she didn't even write

And probably a lot more that I forgot

All this while saying she doesn't want her privilege to lie dormant and wants to be on the right side of history.

She doesn't just get to be called an ally because she wants to be one. She has to do the work for it. She has stop associating with (and consequently uplifting) racist people. She has to start calling out racism in the industry and apologize for her own ignorance regarding the issue.

Sorry for the rant but this needed to come out of me. OP your white girl is racist, no matter how much you ignore it or rationalize it.

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately talking about how no one comments/reblogs/replies/etc anymore, and, as someone who comments regularly on a lot of fanworks, it sometimes makes me wonder if my efforts are worth anything. Then I remember how much happiness I get from comments on my own work/posts and how much the community of fandom can matter, and I remember the power that can be found in spreading joy instead of disappointment.

So -- to everyone who comments on fanfiction: thank you. You make the writing process worthwhile and so very rewarding. You make people happy every day.

To all the people who reblog art and gifsets and meta and anything else with enthusiastic tags: thank you. You make people smile and promote interesting conversations and make being on Tumblr so much more fun.

To anyone who sends people asks about their works, whether it's unprompted or part of an ask game: thank you. You give people reasons to talk about things they love and feel like a part of a community.

To the people who makes reclists: thank you. You give us more to read while showing the author how much their work is loved and appreciated, benefitting so many people.

To everyone who organizes events and groups and blogs and dedicated to fandom: thank you. You build community and love and excitement so effectively and it's wonderful.

To all the authors and artists who respond to comments and build community: thank you. You make people smile with your work and then again with your response.

To everyone who contributes to fandom and community in all the other beautiful, varied ways that I can't even begin to list: thank you. You are why we're here.

And, finally, to every writer, visual artist, gifmaker, cosplayer, maker of edits, writer of meta, or creator of art in any other form: thank you. Your work is wonderful and you make fandom what it is, regardless of who sees your art or how much response you recieve.

Keep going, everyone. You are a part of something beautiful.

#wren talks #fandom #writing #fanfiction #ao3 #tumblr #writerblr #i get tired of seeing posts like 'things used to be so much better and no one comments anymore' #or 'no one reblogs things on this site these days' #it's such an oversimplification #like. of course people reblog! i reblog!! i am people! so are my mutuals and they also reblog! #LESS interaction doesn't mean NO interaction and saying it does erases the efforts of people who do interact #also this can vary SO much depending on your fandom and ship and how long you've been around and so many other factors #like the commenting culture in the silm fandom is incredibly different from that in the witcher fandom #star trek is closer to witcher but there're a few major differenes #can't speak for other fandoms but i'm sure there are other significant differences #and they also change over time #anyway all this to say that i think encouraging people works way better than complaining #and at its core fandom is an exchange of love #that should be based in positivity #but this got long whoops #hopefully it's vaguely coherent #ok tag rant over now lol

Saw someone call Sabine selfish for what she did in Ahsoka as compared to Kanan and Ezra’s respective sacrifices in Rebels, and that now she’s suffering the consequences because of her actions.

Hold all the way the fuck up, please.

Selfish???

SELFISH???

Sabine lost a decent chunk of her family the day Kanan died and the day Ezra got tossed across the universe in an attempt to stop Thrawn. She lost the rest of her family during the Great Purge on Mand’alor.

Can you imagine loosing your entire family when it’s one of the most vital parts of who you are? Do you not remember what she told Kanan during her dark saber training?? Family was //everything// to her. Can you imagine the survivors guilt she must be feeling after everything that’s happened??

Truly baffles me to my core that the effort she put into getting Ezra back is just labeled as selfish. Sure Hera, Zeb, and Ahsoka are technically still around, but I can’t blame her for clinging to the hope that Ezra’s alive out there, waiting for her to bring him back.

He’s all she has left. I don’t blame her one bit for trying, and I don’t think it’s selfish of her.

Ugh.

I hate to be a hater, frankly I was really annoyed by haters of the kenobi show, whom I found were being mad at the most random things,

But with the Ahsoka show ending, I find myself sympathising.

Firstly I'd like to say the Actors, cinematographers, cgi artists, sound designers, musicians, costumers and literally everyone in post and pre production, did some of the best work I've ever seen on a show.

But unfortunately they were working on a script thinner than the paper it's on.

This series feels like the first draft that has glaring flaws.

Firstly, why are the two premises :Ahsoka grows from her trauma; and the ghost crew find ezra and thrawn linked?

They barely interacted in rebels and the only one she had a relationship with is dead (rip Caleb)

Secondly why the fuck is sabine a jedi, it took away from her character and just repeated the same arc we've seen a thousand times.

And most importantly theres already so many deep stories you can tell with any of the ghost crew w/o Ahsoka in this era like:

A grieving war hero general trying to navigate new Republic beuracracy to protect people while being a single mom to a force sensitive kid in a dangerous galaxy.

A guilt ridden mandalorian artist, who's secluded herself from the galaxy trying to complete a fools errand while running away from her past in which she inadvertently lead mandalore to its doom.

A once-lost lasat from his people and a repentant ex-imperial who almost destroyed said people and trying to make his way in that society while possibly falling in love

A Grand Admiral who always had relied on cold logic landing on a planet of witchcraft, with a boy who had defeated him through devilry which caused the boy to lose both his families just to protect his people and a chance to save the Galaxy from the admirals misplaced alliegences.

Like tell me all these stories couldn't have been told amazingly, with love and care, in an animated show, which wasn't wrapped up in the story of an unrelated character who's the main character for some reason.

Heck Ahsoka could've been given a better story herself where the plot could focus just on her and her important relationships with you know, Rex or Barriss?? Not just Anakin. And maybe tell us where she was in the original trilogy.

Incoming rant - please scroll past to avoid this downer if you want.

I'm so disappointed in all of the events/fanart/servers/works etc that treat the Ahsoka series like the WolfWren or the SabEzra show. I got so heavily into Star Wars because of one character: Ahsoka. I was so freaking excited when they announced her live action series, and even more excited when, on viewing the trailer, saw that it was going to centre around multiple strong female characters! Seriously, I would jabber on to even non-Star Wars friends about how excited I was about the push of female characters in this show. And awesome female characters at that!!

I go looking for fan-created merch, be it artwork or clothing etc, and I am left so freaking wanting because everything is WolfWren. I am so starved for content that is of the main character of the show, I am at a complete loss at how the fandom has turned its back on such an incredible character for favour of a non-canon, self-proclaimed-toxic-yuri ship.

I know, I know, ship and let ship. I'm totally down with that. I love fandom art and fanfiction in general. I love me some gorgeous WolfWren art (not a SabEzra shipper, but that's a separate rant that we don't need to air, but I love their sibling relationship!). I might even love a bit of WolfWren fanfiction (very occasionally). And I have found one small, safe space on a server where I can safely indulge in my tiny little Sokabine tugboat of a ship (on Bo-Katan-centric server of all places, WTF? But damn I am so grateful for that space and those moderators). I know my ship is niche, (I don't know how, but anyway) I know I'm not going to find anyone who is as die-hard over my ship as I am. I expected that.

What I didn't expect was to find myself so lacking in Ahsoka-the-character content in fandom spaces supposedly dedicated to the Ahsoka show. Everyone loves a good ship, but the lack of other ships that could be celebrated from the show (NightDaughter, Herasoka, MonHera, ShinSoka, Morgbine, whatever!) I find is reflective of a lack of interest in the character traits of the individuals. To me, it seems like fans are more interested in an aesthetic than they are on histories, values and idiosyncrasies of the characters themselves.

Anyway, if you've got to the end of this rant, thank you for reading. Again, I don't mean to hate on such ships. I was actually just as excited as everyone else at how the actors validated WolfWren as a ship to enjoy, considering it was femslash fanfiction that made me feel less alone when I was a closeted teen nearly two decades ago. I'm just frustrated at the lack of space in the fandom for content that is different.

I know we’re all excited about the Jurdan moments in Prisoner’s Throne but I gotta circle us back to Wren and Oaks story for a sec. Has anyone else noticed the Snow White undertones of the story? It very, very loosely based where it is more subtle nods but it’s there. Wren as a child being corpse pale, the hunt for her heart and the deception of an animals heart!?! Those are the one I remember in Stolen Heir. In Prisoners Throne, Oaks kiss brings her back to life!?! I love when Holly Black does this. Like with Cruel Prince it was Alice in Wonderland. Did y’all notice any others cause their story already has me in a puddle in the floor then there are these nods and aaaaahhhhh

All I ask for Ahsoka is a few things, please. . .

Tell us when Ahsoka trained Sabine, like in Rebels that never happened? (Kanan Jarres did train her with the darksarber, but no Ahsoka)

Can we at least hear about Hera's child: Jacen Syndulla?

Ezra better be alive, like PLEASE!

Will Zeb and Alexsandr be in it, I would LOVE if they are!

VENTRESS, PLEASE. If Morgan is a Nightsister, how about we finally see Ventress again? That would be crazy cool!! (yeah no this like can not really happen, but so what?)

HAVE SOMEONE REFERENCE PADAWAN JABBA! (Nah, but it would be amazing)

Clone troopers, like Rex? (Not really needed, but would love..)

I mean I have more, but eh. Just a little confused from the start. Like, being a huge Rebels fan and then watching the first 2 episodes and pondering when things happen.

Hopefully it will be clear later on, for now it is cool.

I can already see this conversation in the next Ahsoka episode.

Ahsoka: You let yourself willingly be captured by the enemy and put the whole galaxy at risk of Thrawn’s return 😕

Sabine: In my defense, I thought you were dead 🤷‍♀️

Ezra, wiping away a tear: You came up with a crazy not planned through plan just to come rescue me. I love you, but you’re a crazy idiot. I would do the same for you Sabine

Why the Bridgers(Rebles) were less then perfect parents.

After watching Ahsoka, I was reminded of this post I never finished.

I do not respect these two, for one main reason. Ezra was never they're priority.

The Bridgers didn't get much screen time but what we learn them about them is that they

Had a secret radio station in their basement form which they would spread Reble messages.

Were Ezra's parents.

Would eventually get arrested before Ezra hit double digits.

Lead a jail break, refused to leave until everyone else did, leading to their deaths.

Let's start at the beginning, the Bridger's Rebellion. Being a Reble is good, but my problem is that they were participating in Reble activity when they had a VERY young son. These two were fully aware of the consequences if they got caught and what that would mean for their son, but they chose to literally bring the Reble fight into their home.

Well, maybe they knew Ezra was force sensitive, so they were trying to protect him?

There is a chance they knew or suspected their child was force sensitive but that makes being a Reble even worse! What did they think would happen when if they got arrested? The Empire gets another force sensitive with no home to return to. If they were aware of Ezra' force sensitivity the best option would for them to help Ezra hide it and not draw attention to themselves.

Don't get me started on the jail break! So, the Bridgers hear that their son by the grace of God avoided to be taken by the Empire and is now a Reble (They have no clue where or what he was up too for the past 7 years) which inspires them to lead a prison break. But in an act of selflessness, they make sure everyone gets out before them, which leads to their deaths. The Bridgers, even though they know they have a son waiting for them, a son who they last saw when he was seven chose to put everyone else above themselves.

This is selfness to the detriment of their son. They know Ezra is still alive, still waiting and still out their but they put the rebellion and everyone else before him.

TL:DR For all of Rebels the Bridgers never put Ezra first, they never put their family first. They sacrificed themselves for what they believed but that also meant constantly screwing over their son at every turn.

They were good people but people who should have never had a child because they would never prioritize that child.
