The Star Wars fandom is like a case study of what happens when you overthink media intended for children to the point that you’ve completely altered the message and plot that the creator intended. The whole “the Jedi order is evil and Anakin/Vader is the good guy!” Idea fails to take into account the fact that like.. these movies are meant for kids, they’re meant to be easy to follow and easy to understand with obvious good guys and obvious bad guys. Yknow how we know the Jedi are the good guys? - they’re the main characters, they have funny one liners, they kill the evil bad guys who have red laser swords with their blue and green laser swords, they’re relatable, they’re nice, they’re paternal, so on so forth.

I love critical analysis and I’d never speak a word against it, when we consume media we should always take a step back to consider what ideas they’re selling us, what undertones are portrayed, is this supposed to represent a real life problem? But it’s also equally as important to consider who the audience is and how that might impact the story. And ultimately the audience is children, Star Wars is not meant to be a mystery thriller where the good guys are secretly the bad guys which you can only tell when you pick the story apart 20 which ways. The movies could not more clearly tell us who were meant to support. - is it the angry guys with red swords, ugly old guy who shoot’s lighting out of his fingers and takes over the universe, people who blow up planets, chop off their kids hands and blow up planet’s? Or is it the people who wear warm coloured clothing, talk about wanting peace, who tell funny jokes, have heartfelt moments, with blue and green lightsabers, fight against the space fascists and love each other.

Ultimately, Star Wars isn’t that deep, enjoy it for what it is and I promise you’ll enjoy it 100 times more

It’s so sad to me that a huge part of the Star Wars fandom still talks about how the Jedi lost their way and one of the main reasons is that the fought in the clone wars.

Because this is a children’s show. For children. And in the Jedi crash episode they literally bring up this argument.

“It takes two to fight”

And:

This old man goes off on them. He chooses peace. But what does his peace look like?

The separatists come in and are like “our planet now” and he’s like “ok fine”

And then they use the planet to test out a HUGE weapon that would killed MILLIONS of innocent people and clones. So already his “peace” is just breeding more violence.

But then they decide to use his people as test subjects.

What he was doing wasn’t “peace” it was compliance. He was aiding colonizers and invaders and then they were going to kill him and his entire community because of it.

The separatists were literally conquering planets and killing and enslaving the inhabitants. You wanted the Jedi to sit back and go “sorry man. We like peace. Can’t get involved.”

I just… how can so many people in this fandom misinterpret something that was shoved down their throats??

#in that same ass arc Ahsoka learns a very simple lesson about attachment to but hey guess who fucking missed that point too #she was worried about Anakin and she wanted to stay by his side and protect him. #but LEAVING anakin. and knowing that he may not make it. is HOW she saved him. #she put the needs of everyone first. if she had let her attachment to Anakin over-rule her logic— #she would have stayed by his side to make HERSELF feel better. which would have helped no one #pro jedi #star wars

the fucking isolation sally jackson must've felt when she was trying to pry her demigod child who physically cannot drown from the edge of a pool bc he's afraid to learn to swim. it is such a comedically stupid situation but she cant complain about it to a single mortal soul.

“the governments of the world have been twitching uncomfortably for years now as they realize how hard it is to control a populace who have real time access to all of the information about everything ever, on a tiny computer that lives in their pocket.”

“we built this brilliant beautiful thing out of plastic and wire, and it was deliberately and maliciously lobotomized by people that thought it gave the pack mules too much freedom. too much power.”

been thinking about these narcissist cookbook lyrics in light of the tiktok ban

#a lot of tiktok is very pro-palestine. it’s how my 13 year old sister learned what was going on #that is absolutely part of why now. why this is the one thing that gets passed so quickly #i don’t care if you hate tiktok this is censorship #tiktok #tiktok ban #the narcissist cookbook #tnc

[antennatoheaven]

meta knight is the character ever. he got to wish for literally anything he wanted and he wished to fight against the strongest warrior in the galaxy, he has zero communication skills, he didn't like how everyone lazes around all day so he decided to overthrow the government and failed, his ship has his face plastered on the front for no reason, he decided to go down with said ship, he has a strict moral code but is willing to throw hands with an 8 year with no hesitation, he keeps getting his ass kicked by said 8 year old, he has a sweet tooth and feels the need to hide it even though literally everyone around him loves sweets. he's punched jk rowling in the face

#kirby #meta knight #ramblings #kirby right back at ya #hoshi no kaabii #im procrastinating on studying for my german exam tomorrow ✌ #he feels like he wanted to be in any game other than kirby and has since learned that in the end he got attached to #the weird little planet and its weird little inhabitants #edit: this post gained a lot more attention than i thought it would so i feel the need to clarify; #meta knight punched jk rowling in an episode of the kirby anime #but it was her evil clone. i just thought it would be funny to reference #bc ive been bingewatching KRBAY and then saw an edit that makes it look like there's just one jk rowling #so the episode is pro-hp (but to be fair it was 2002) sorry :') #but we can dream

Ghost's and Soap's courting behaviour must've been a fucking trip to witness from an outside perspective. Like yeah they are flirting over comms without abandon, but in person it probably took them a while to get that comfortable (emotionally repressed as they both are in their own ways.) We get a glimpse during the Prison Break where Ghost is definitely showing off and Soap is absolutely smitten.

But it probably continues like that for a while. Ghost sniping, knifing, just continuously showing off extremely controlled violence to Soap's praise. Stunned and flustered that he found someone he can impress with all the ways he knows to kill a person. Wipes his bloody knife with a stupid little grin on his face that almost hurts because he's not used to it.

All the while he's absolutely fawning over Soap's demolition skills. Soap who will level a fucking building with nearly superhuman precision just to get Ghost to compliment him for it. Beaming like he just won a competition every time Simon has a nice word or two to spare for him, ash and dust still settling in the background.

Johnny who pushes himself in the gym when Simon is there: perfect form, keeping repetitions going only to nearly collapse on Gaz when Ghost leaves the room.

Ghost who gets extra gruff and showy in his authority over other soldiers when Soap is around, unconsciously wanting the other to know what a good CO he is. That he's great at being a soldier all around. And who fucking smiles under the mask when Soap shoots him an adoring look.

It's like two very confused and violent teenagers dancing around each other, both are intimated by their feelings for each other, but not enough to let it rest. Both desperately want to leave a good impression. Both too manly and gruff to do something about it at first, too afraid to be rejected to risk a confession.

The general sentiment on base once they get it sorted and finally get together is a huge "Thank fuck, took them long enough!" because it was getting annoying, but its not like anyone was about to call the fucking Ghost out on his antics. And while Soap might have been called out it certainly didn't stop him from acting a fool the moment Simon Riley enters a room.

Now there's some peace and quiet on base, we'll mostly, unless you have to room next to either of them...

#they are both absolute pros at flirting until they have to look at each other #if they do they are just helpless idiots #they get better tho #still helplessly in love but at least learn to communicate it #probably prices work in the background because he's sick of the peacocking #ghostsoap #simon ghost riley #soapghost #cod mwii #johnny soap mactavish #cod #cod hc #captain john price #cod mw2

Azriel figured out that Elain is a seer, but you know what else he did with that?

Nothing.

Absolutely fucking nothing.

He didn't offer to find Vassa, even though he would know more about her whereabouts and her connections than Lucien.

No, wait, he did do something. He deterred Mor from going because of how dangerous it was.

But Lucien didn't.

Lucien actually stepped up and insisted that he goes. Insisted that he'll find her and hopefully bring back an army.

And he did.

He also brought back an army that Azriel couldn't find. He brought Drakon and Miryam with them on the day of the battle.

I don't give a shit if Azriel named her power when she has Lucien who followed through with her vision and succeeded.

And when Elain said that she needed to get reacquainted with her powers, Azriel again said and did nothing. Guess that's in line with all of his current plans with her. At least he's consistent.

#elucien #pro elucien #elain x lucien #antie/riel #antielriel #Az at least showed Gwyn dagger work when she said she was interested in it #Az also spoke up when Feyre asked to learn how to fly #I'd be more impressed if he figured out she was a seer without all the questioning he did to her

[eponastory]

Shit... here we go again...

It's okay, buddy, you can hate us while we don't care.

But let me break it down for you...

Threatening a village itself is actually not a form of colonization... it's just making people fear you if you don't do what they want. That is called intimidation. Not colonization.

Colonization is when you come in, change laws, takeover land, and force the natives and non natives to uphold your standards, traditions, culture etc... which is also eerily like subjugation. But I mean, who is really paying attention here.

As far as Ozai goes, yeah, he was definitely a tyrant and a conquer that practiced Genocide. Genocide is not colonization either, by the way. It's murder of an entire culture and their people because they either pose a threat or they are in the way, but you don't seem to know the difference on that either.

But back to Zuko.

Zuko, who only threatened but did not try to take over the water tribe because he wanted the Avatar. Again... Zuko didn't hurt anyone. He threatened, got the Avatar, and left. No one got hurt (maybe Sokka, but that's because Sokka put himself in the position to get hurt), and that's that. Actually, I can count on one finger all the times that Zuko actually hurt anyone physically. Intentionally or not. I may be overlooking some things, but I have to go back and watch the whole series, and I really don't have time right now. Got a festival to get ready for, ya know?

Anyway, yeah, you seem to be confusing things yet again. Please, do the world a favor. Open a history book or maybe even a dictionary.

Sincerely,

A Historical Fiction Writer who does a heck of a lot of research on this shit and has a degree in English.

Make it make sense.

Money saving pro-tips to people from warm climates that move to a cold climate

Source: I lived with a southerner and a girl from LA in a northern city in the US and they wasted a lot of money.

Tip #1: Drop your heat at night, or any time you’re not home. Most people up north don’t keep the heat at the same temp 24/7. That shit's expensive. When I’m home, I keep my heat anywhere between 65-68F, but during the workday, or at night, that shit goes down to 60F. A lot of thermostats are programmable so you can have it set automatically to turn down while you're at work/at night.

Tip #2: If you’re leaving your home for over 24 hours, lower the heat as much as possible. I set mine to 55F. Apartments and even houses heat up pretty quickly, so there’s no reason to waste money if no one’s around, and you won’t die if you have to wear your coat indoors for a few minutes. Note: you can’t turn your heat off completely or your pipes will freeze.

Tip #3: If you’re home but you’re only going to be occupying one room for several hours, consider leaving the heat low and just buying yourself a space heater.

Tip #4: When buying a space heater, get one that has an internal timer or thermostat. They cost slightly more, but the bonus to these is that they don’t just continue putting heat into the air until you intervene. They will turn themselves on/off in intervals, which helps to keep your room at a more consistent temperature. Just don’t forget to make sure the heater is switched off if you’re leaving your home!

Tip #5: Get better socks. A lot of the cold you feel is actually just ur terrible, flimsy ankle socks not protecting you from the cold floor. If I’m lounging around at home, I wear those heavy duty fuzzy socks that have a whole internal double lining. I’m a raynaud’s bitch so I know what I’m talking about.

Tip #6: Fleece-lined leggings. Steal your bf’s fleece pants. Why do they make men’s casual sweats so much thicker than girl’s casual sweats? Literal bullshit.

Tip #7: Idk who lied to you and told you that a bed can only have one comforter, but that’s dumb. I sleep with two. It’s much warmer.

Tip #8: If you're in an old apartment/house, winterize your windows. You can buy winterizing seals and insulation anywhere online and it's very cheap.

#not dp related #winter pro tips #idk who needs this but apparently ppl do #growing up i always figured this stuff was common sense #and then i got roommates #apparently it is NOT common sense #which makes sense if you never had to learn this stuff as a kid #so....huzzah

I've had some spicy opinions about dog shows and AKC confo specifically in the past but not anymore. I only have one dog showing opinion anymore and it's that if they allow pro handlers those pro handlers should be required to have a special Handler Name and a whole Schtick to go along with it, like drag queens.

the persona I'm envisioning currently is sort of a hot and sinister widow sort of vibe. you know. descending the marble staircase in a feather boa to meet the cops that are here to tell you your husband has been found dead under suspicious circumstances.

but at the dog show.

many other such concepts could exist if only we opened our minds somewhat. please join me in my vision

#im not even high this time #WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST PRO HANDLER SCHTICK TO HAVE GUYS COME ON JOIN ME #*also i am lying i very much have other dog show opinions i simply do not say them in public anymore bc i learned THAT lesson l #lolol
