I spent all day thinking about Annabeth Chase. Who am I, Percy Jackson?

Percy Jackson is not straight. But he’s not gay, either. He’s Annabeth-sexual. And I love that for him.

After her therapy session, Ahsoka acts the most like Anakin Skywalker (besides the man himself) anyone has ever acted.

“It could go anywhere”

“I know, that’s better than going nowhere”

I saw Cursed Child in London this summer without knowing what to expect (never read the script). I fucking loved it. I traveled to Munich, Paris, Euro Disney, Stratford-upon-Avon and London over the course of a month. I saw old friends and spent time with family. Cursed Child was hands-down the highlight of the whole trip. Certainly the thing that stuck with me the longest. Did the plot make sense? No. Did that subtract from my experience even a little bit? Absolutely not.

Harry Potter was never the reason I breathed like it was for some people. It wasn’t even my main fandom. But I grew up with it. I loved it. Deathly Hallows Part II came out the year I graduated high school. Afterwards, I moved on without much difficulty. Thought about it from time to time because nothing epitomized my childhood and growing up like Harry Potter. And then the opportunity arose to see Cursed Child and I took it. Insisted upon it to my family. One of the best things I ever did.

Because sometime in my 20s I realized I was gay. And as I now know, that’s something I have in common with Albus Potter. Harry Potter’s son, my childhood hero’s son, was gay. As far as me and my 65 year old father are concerned, Albus and Scorpius are as canon as Ron and Hermione. And that matters. It’s more than LGBT representation in Harry Potter. The fact that Harry’s own son is in love with Draco’s son matters so fucking much. It feels good thematically and it feels good for me personally. When it comes to that show, Delfini being Voldemort’s daughter doesn’t matter. A cliche time travel plot doesn’t matter. Voldemort/Bellatrix doesn’t matter. Albus and Scorpius matter. Their love story is the only thing that matters.

I’m sad that even post-covid audiences wanted more from them. Could they have kissed? Sure. Would i have wanted it? Of course, but they also didn’t need to. What I was already given was enough. More than enough. More than I ever thought to ask for or dare to hope for. I’m happy for Albus. So happy. Happy in a way that I wish I could be happy for myself. Not just for having a boyfriend but a best friend. I have been lonely in a way that Albus and Scorpius never had to be. And that makes me happy…and maybe a little bit sad.

Anyway, all this to say, I’ve spent the 5 weeks since I’ve been home losing myself in Scorbus fan fiction. I even wake up early so I can read before work. So if any of my fellow shippers have any recommendations, I would be very grateful.

(Yes, this long emotional post is just an elaborate way to ask for fic recs. Life’s too short for reading mediocre fan fiction. 😉)

Commentary on the references to occupied Palestine and Israeli war crimes in Andor by @sustheories on Twitter

Source: https://twitter.com/sustheories/status/1596343515751284737

(because I've seen a lot of people complain about the way some of these scenes were portrayed and here you have "historical" context)

Text:

Ok here it is: the parallels to Palestine in #Andor Tony Gilroy recently said the finale was partly inspired by anti-apartheid protests in Palestine, but the finale isn't the first or only time they've made parallels. So here's a list off the top of my head keen's story about imps taking over his brothers tree farm is what has continuously happened to olive tree farmers in Palestine. The family land, where they've lived for generations, gets taken by force and they're kicked out (if they're lucky) or killed.

The empire taking over and destroying the Aldhani's holy site, is just like what happens yearly in the Al Aqsa Mosque where worshippers are prevented from going, then attacked during holy days with tear gas & rubber bullets. The mosque windows and walls also get ruined.

Protestors in Ferrix throwing stones at troopers, Clem Andor being captured & hung trying to keep the peace. Palestinians use stones to fight back with against a fully decked out occupying force, and simply being in the vicinity of any protest can get you detained or killed.

Cassian, as a young man, running at troopers with his stick for what they did to his father, leading to his arrest & imprisonment. This is what Palestinian youth deal with: men in the family constantly being detained or killed. They try to fight back & receive the same punishment.

Cassian simply walking on the beach being arrested because a trooper thought he was suspicious, held by his neck, then imprisoned without due process is how most Palestinians get detained. The "tactic" to hold people by their necks, whether using hands or knees, is commonly used against Palestinians (and was taught to the US by those soldiers). Most Palestinians are held without charges or trial, in brutal conditions including torture.

In the finale, the way Ferrix locals were fighting with their hands, rocks, bricks, while imps had full gear, snipers, automatic weapons, fired at will, & snatched people from the crowd to detain them, is exactly how Palestinians are treated, abused, and killed on a daily basis.

What Wilmon Paak did with his homemade device would cause an entire city block in the West Bank to be razed to the ground as retaliation.

The way Bix was detained and tortured brutally, using experimental techniques, happens to Palestinians who are detained to get info, without charges or trial. They can get experimented on and the resulting tactics gets sold to militaries and police forces around the world...

This is a long and heavy post, but needed to be said. Seeing these events on screen, the riot tactics, ethnic cleansing, dehumanization of native peoples, abuse of power, etc is necessary. I hope people can connect the dots and understand the commentary that #Andor is making

My notes: For those not well versed in Palestinian history or what is happening right now, Ilan Pappe's books are a great source (which you can find free on Scribd) as is AlJazeera news

You��re right and you should say it

yes, Cassian was forced to make parts for the weapon that ultimately killed him, but, much more importantly to me—and what feels much more thematically resonant—by doing everything to get those plans into the right hands, Cassian was a direct cause of the destruction of the weapon that he was forced to make parts for while wrongfully imprisoned

I absolutely WILL NOT STAND for people thinking Luthen is sending Vel to kill Cassian.

I mean, isn’t it obvious that Kleya decided this on her own? To protect Luthen?

Why would he go through so much trouble to get Cassian off Ferix only for him to kill him later? It doesn’t make sense.

Solid take. I don’t want to trivialize or belittle your trauma in any way…

But a lot of people have died in this show so far, of all different races. Maybe Clem dying by hanging is the point. Calling attention to an injustice like a Hispanic man being profiled in space Miami.

Okay, first solid annoyance with Andor. I still loved this episode (I'm not finished with it yet) but for all the Black characters we've had, one's an Imp, some were cops, and the three good guys we've seen are all dead.

I like that Cassian viewed Clem as his father. I like that he named himself after his father/father figure to be a part of that rebel cell for the mission. I know its a connection that will be explored soon.

I don't like that we've had three named Black characters and they're all dead. I don't like that Clem was hanged specifically (common trigger for Black ppl that I am not going to elaborate on). I like Andor but I am disappointed if unsurprised.

Okay but 6 years

6 YEARS

Episode 1 of Andor told us that this was 5 BBY. That is, 5 years until Scarif, until Yavin, until Cassian’s death.

Obviously we know Cassian’s not going to serve that time. But so many people do. What would they have done had they not been at the wrong place at the wrong time? What would they have done if they hadn’t been racially profiled?

Maybe what Cassian will end up doing. For the galaxy. How many Rogue One missions have we lost out on because of racist cops?

god how does andor stay consistently good like i genuinely

we have gotten seven (7) episodes of solid, well-written, excellently-acted television, all of which have not shied away from hammering home the themes they set out to deliver. it’s a brilliant show on its own but what’s most shocking is that it’s a fucking star wars DISNEY show. for it to be so anti-corporation, anti-imperialism, and blatant with its depictions of racism and such—goddamn, i am so impressed 😭
