personal star wars opinion vent

idk why people who like old republic star wars stuff like me are so defensive of the old jedi. they werent great. thats why i like them. its ok. “the jedi were actually right” well, i have consumed more than my doctor’s recommended share of star wars movies and books and tv shows and… um, i never had THAT take. what on earth?

like, even Star Trek knows their fantasy space government isnt perfect but the authors were trying to make their best example of a responsible society where people valued being moral above all else. the authors of Star Wars were explicitly trying to show where the old republic and jedi went wrong. they lived next door to sith lords for years and didn’t even notice, like, they weren’t even good at the one thing that was their “spec-ial-ity”. also, its totally cool to separate kids from their families even if the families would want them back? even if the kids are brought to war zones and expected to fight/work? YALL. what are you defending here.

I like the old republic and the old jedi order too, but like, NEITHER one was good and both explicitly had fallen morally to such a state that a sith lord literally took over and the galaxy suffered TREMENDOUSLY as a result of their incompetence. “Slavery is outlawed in the Republic” well dude, its being openly practiced on multiple planets. if only someone could do something about it. like the galactic wide government and their highly moral magical negotiation/military force? oh, they can’t? maybe theyre not that good at doing what they say they do. maybe they say a lot of nice things but when push comes to shove the jedi commit genocides and hide the evidence (murdering those tuskens was downright jedi-like, dont you know?). maybe questioning your government and not letting them get away with shit, even to the point of direct action and even violent rebellion, is a good thing. its almost like that was always the point.

#hollypunkerspost #rambling #‘no attachments is a good rule’ i mean it quite literally paved the way for Sidious to create Vader #but fuck me why would anyone watch the actual movies i guess #anakin was not born evil he was made and he did make himself but come the fuck on i dont think shmi skywalker woulda been a BAD influence #‘i cant join the dark side my mom said no’ *angry sidious noises* #star wars #this is the most ramble of rambly #vent #fantasy slavery #dont even get me started on the new movies i miss jacen and jaina

I absolutely love the new Avatar series like, it is different, and the character development is strange, and lala its not the same and there are issues, which I can say about every piece of media I like

But that Zuko kid, like he’s fucking nailing it. Every second he’s nailing it. That’s Zuko to me. That’s how I always pictured him, he’s such a noble brat, and I love him.

#hollypunkerspost #and the insights into ozai and azula fascinate me im a sucker for fire nation politics #i have not finished it ive been watching it slowly with my family but im six episodes in #iroh is also killing it #and the kids are so talented i cant watch kids act and not thing ‘great job kids!’ #and thats probably because i taught kids theater at camp #and tbh zuko is so easily queer coded im like thats my little emo boy #zuko is the snl sketch wells for boys

Its really funny how the marketing for Oppenheimer tried so hard to make it A BIG Thing but not only was it crushed by the Barbie movie in the box office, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie (which split its audience anyway by releasing on streaming) is already projected to beat their opening weekend too

#hollypunkerspost #barbie #fnaf #ppl just wanna have a fun time in a dark time #like serious and historical movies have a place but why are they all about the same thirty white guys #oppenheimer was never going to do well they marketed a long form historical drama like a blockbuster #it amuses me

remember when the concept of memes was coming out and people tried to get us to call them “mimi’s”?

#hollypunkerspost #thank god that didnt catch on #i remember so many church facebook people doing that lmao

[hollypunkers]

how quick many readers thought Jin was to clock Zuko as gay af, not remembering that Jet did the same in chapter 2. Maybe I just headcanon Zuko as the kid in the iconic SNL sketch ‘Wells for Boys’. Maybe thats my opinion

#hollypunkerspost #am i drunk rereading past work while ruminating on my current ones and updating documents #whod do that #why do i remember to use tumblr 8 times a yeR #these are good questions #blue on ao3 #i also got sad i never got to write zuko serenating sokka with a tsungi horn #and im disappointed in myself on that my dudes

I probably won’t write it, because it seems like so much work, but any modern au fics for the Mandalorian that change Grogu to be a human baby are missing out on the hilarious potential of some tough-as-shit biker/bounty hunter stumbling across a crashed UAP with a little green alien inside and going “I guess I have a baby now?”

#the mandalorian #hollypunkerspost #din djarin #everyone else is a human but grogu doesnt change #Boba: So… what is it? #Din: I dunno but I adopted him. #Cara: You must have been a big fan of ET growing up. #Din: What’s an ET?

I never watched past season 5 of Supernatural and now felt the urge to check it out again but due to being on tumblr I know enough to know this stupid throwaway line somehow became foreshadowing

#hollypunkerspost #i came for the goofs and ridiculous writing and i will be fed #supernatural #spn

If Din had found Ezra instead of Ahsoka it would have probably gone like this:

Din: Are you a Jedi?

Ezra: I have no idea what that is. My name is Jabba the Hutt.

Din, suspicious but not wanting to offend in case Ezra is also adopted: Okay, well, good to meet you.

Ezra, being incredibly curious about Baby Yoda but not wanting to admit he’s a chronic liar: Yep, you too. Bye.

#hollypunkerspost #the mandalorian #ezra bridger #they meet four more times and din just keeps respectfully calling ezra jabba jr. #‘of course hes a jedi! he has a lasersword!’ #din: ‘i have a lasersword and im not a jedi’ #din: ‘this man is clearly a hutt.’

Fuckin tiktok but there is nothing in the world more interesting to me right now than that kid who got his dream pet octopus and the parents dealing with the miracle fifty fertile octopus eggs she laid

#hollypunkerspost #octopus tiktok #good lord like im obsessed i want emergency notifications on updates 😭 #fuckin tiktok got me on this one and it got me good #i need to ask my boss if we see octopi because im 90% sure we do. and i just realized im in a job where this could happen #theyre fucking cute little things like wobbly little noses i love them #her name is terry 🥹

A very friendly reminder that Yoda was a Jedi Knight at 100 years old, and Grogu is 50, meaning in the next 50 years he’ll age into adulthood. Din Djarin is in his late-thirties/early-forties, he could absolutely watch his kid grow up in his own lifetime and be there for the rest of Grogu’s childhood.

#hollypunkerspost #i saw a few things about people being sad grogu would be still little when din passed away #but theyre gunna be old enough to have conversations and even an emo teen phase #the mandalorian #din is gunna be just like that realllly old dad #i think they age slowly at the beginning but kinda shoot up. and grogu is already growing between s1 and s2 #tho he may have a bit of a stunted or delayed development bc of all the trauma and experimentation and cutting himself off from the force #poor baby

so, dislocated my knee for the tenth time last night, and this time i was filled with such instant “im not letting this get worse AGAIN” anger that the second after i fell, my hand just palmed my knee back into place. Like fucking instinctual. I felt like a fucking viking.

then i called my roommate over and i sat up too quick and the pain made me faint so... I can only be cool when no one is watching. Good to know.

#hollypunkerspost #tw: injury #injury #knee injury #blah blah blah #went into ptsd mode and just acted and like proud of that

the last fanfiction I published was because the joke I thought of for the end was too good not to share, now Im doing it again but the joke is so far into the story it will take me 4 years even to get to it

#hollypunkerspost #should have stuck to one specific story arc like blue but no i have too many funny ideas and angsty ones and i gotta rewrite harry potter #i think i enjoy the act of writing so much that im long winded for both my amusement and detriment #fic writing #dbgoh #i want to call the series dagobah just because the acronym is silly #but the name is bad and the summary is bad but ive never been any good at those #i once had a short story title changed by the publishing house because they hated the name so much 😂
