I’m taking an itty bitty step back because my brain is being a bit too mean lately. I can tell I’m spiraling and taking perceived slights a little too personally—emphasis on “perceived.” It’s not normal for your feelings to be hurt every time a friend doesn’t share something you created. Or to automatically assume “oh okay they don’t want my work on their blog” if someone just gives a like instead of a reblog. I am fully aware that it’s an absurdly unrealistic expectation to have. I try to do that for a lot of people and it’s pretty exhausting worrying about missing something 24/7 out of the fear that they might take these things as personally as I do. Oof I hope that makes sense 😅
I really am sorry for the overshare but I just wanted to pop in and make a quick post on the off chance anyone notices I’m not around as much. I think a little break might help me gain some much needed perspective. If you find that you’re ever feeling this way too—please feel free to message me. I’ll always offer my support and compassion to anyone who needs it. ♡

looks like no acolyte trailer this week but i wanna talk about it, so whatever let's go over all the shots from the one leaked in april 2023
sorry for horrible quality but in my defense. literally not my fault
1. Jedi Temple
The trailer opens with several shots of Jedi kids in a lesson, in what I assume to be the Coruscant Jedi temple:
The alien looks to me like a Tarsunt, similar to this background sequels guy. For now I'll assume these kids aren't important characters in the story and mostly serve to introduce the Jedi and/or Lee-Jung Jae's character, who is speaking over these and following shots:
He says: “Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you. We must not trust them. The Force is powerful. It is power we must respect.”
(I assume all these lines and shots are part of the same scene and it isn't some clever editing done for the trailer. It sounds like a reasonable introductory lesson for little kids, is coherent, and the locations match. Also what would be the point.)
There is also a single shot later in the trailer that seems to be in the same room, except with older Jedi, presumably Padawans:
The one that interests me in this shot is the one I assume to be a female Zabrak with light hair (on the right up front). She appears in other parts of the trailer as well.
2. Cantina confrontation
This sequence starts during the latter half of LJJ‘s voiceover and is partially intercut with the Temple shots. We see Amandla Stenberg‘s character walk through a public space (market place? spaceport?) and into what seems to be a cantina/restaurant, with patrons sitting at tables and eating or chatting:
There are many aliens, I think I saw an Iktotchi and/or Ovissian. If anyone knows what that thing slurping soup and the two sitting next to it are please tell me.
The voiceover ends over that last shot of Carrie-Anne Moss' character, there is a brief cut to black, and then we get a short fight between AS and CAM. It mostly looks like AS is attacking with her knife and martial arts skills while CAM deflects, before finally Force-pushing her away. We then get a first close look at Amandla Stenberg's character without her cloak:
The character's hairstyle was described by her actor as "clay-rolled dreadlocks, a North African reference".
At this point we are halfway through the trailer and the Lucasfilm logo comes up. Shots from what seems to be the same scene come up later in the trailer too:
AS is of course playing the main character and CAM is part of the main cast, so I assume this is an important scene, possibly the introduction to at least one of the two characters.
It seems a safe assumption that CAM is a Jedi master, and imo at least possible that she is the character mentioned in the show's synopsis (“A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”) - if so, this could be the unhappy reunion before they reluctantly work together. AS seems to know exactly where she's going, while CAM appears to be waiting for her, either because she invited her/agreed to a meeting set up by AS or a third party, or because she sensed AS coming.
(Of course, it could be an entirely different situation. Several outlets have reported that LJJ is playing the former master in question, which seems reasonable, since he is the male lead of the show.)

NEW INFORMATION (everything is new, because 2h ago no one knew this existed XD) about the upcoming Thundermans movie (see article):
1.) The movie title is “The Thundermans Return” (I’m not crying, you’re CRYING!) (could be the working title also, but it sounds so good, let’s stick with it)
2.) The whole main original cast will return:
“ Original series cast members reprising their roles are Kira Kosarin as “Phoebe,” Jack Griffo as “Max,” Addison Riecke as “Nora,” Diego Velazquez as “Billy,” Maya Le Clark as “Chloe,” Chris Tallman as “Hank” and Rosa Blasi as “Barb.”
3.) THE PLOT:
“In the movie, twins Phoebe and Max are enjoying their superhero lifestyle, but when one ‘save’ goes awry, the Thundermans are sent back to Hiddenville. While Hank and Barb enjoy their return, and Billy and Nora look forward to a normal high school life, Max and Phoebe are determined to regain their superhero status. The movie will feature the return of show favorites, new villains and familiar locations.”
(WHY IS THIS PERFECTION, THAT SOUNDS GREAT! I AM 100% ON BOARD WITH THIS!)

i love stranger things and it deserves all the praise but imagine if netflix put even a quarter as much effort into promoting their other shows.
you cant cancel shows and give the reasoning for it that not enough people watch when you did the minimal amount of work possible to get it out there so people actually know about it
st gets billboards, merch galore, a tumblr takeover, interviews all over the place, a whole experience in nyc, etc and i get why- bc it makes them money. but at least throw the other shows a bone once in awhile?
