i think one of the most infuriating things about using the Force would be the fact that in order to reach out, you have to instead open yourself up and let it in. you must make yourself passive, in order to be active, you know? to see what is really out there, you have to allow yourself to look, which means pausing and offering up your attention non-judgmentally in order to take in the world before you act upon that information. you have to get yourself out of the way, because when your thoughts and anxieties are in the way, you cannot see past them. they are a shield blocking you from seeing the moment, and a filter that leads to motivated reasoning, seeing what you want to see instead of what is really there.

so in a high stress environment, when there is much on the line (fear) or innocents are being harmed (anger), the ability to actually take a second and put aside those feelings in order to understand the situation better and actually be able to fix things is no mean feat. you have to be able to simultaneously detach so that you can focus and act in the best interest of everyone with full awareness of the risks and benefits, while remaining deeply engaged and compassionate for everyone involved. it's not easy, it's not about ego and glory and pleasure, it's about loving the world enough to be an agent of peace no matter the cost. that kind of altruistic discipline would take a lifetime of study, and i think is so deeply admirable as a concept.

Hi! I've seen in several cdramas set in different dynasties that noble women cover their mouth (or even their whole face) with their sleeve when drinking, or even sometimes when eating. Do you know why they do this? It it a modesty thing?

Yeah it is. It’s just a modesty gesture. Like laughing behind your hands.

This is a throwback from watching historical cdramas in the late 2000s: that occasional weird love triangle between a plucky girl, the crown prince, and his dad.

Fives: All of us are our own person, but I fear we have 1 thing engined in every one of us.

Echo, nodding his agreement: We all share an attraction to one specific Jedi.

Every other clone in the area, including those in the guard and that have an attraction to other people: You’re completely right.

Padmé: Oh, is it Ana— General Skywalker?

Rex, snorting: Sorry, Senator Amidala, but no.

Padmé, confused because she knows her husband is hot so she wonders who could it be: Then wh—?

Jesse, running to where his brothers are: He’s coming! He’s coming, everyone, and that sheb Cody is right next to him like always, lucky bastard.

Obi-Wan, walking beside his Commander and smiling brightly at the rest of the men: Hello there, everyone.

Literally every single clone ever (that likely had their Jango Fett genetic mutation of being attracted to Obi-Wan Kenobi) beginning to blush: Sir… <3

I like to think that

During Anakin’s apprenticeship, Obi-Wan quickly became suspicious that Anakin wasn’t really paying attention to his lectures and was just nodding.

So he started slipping in random phrases to test and see if he was listening like:

“Anakin, you must clean your room. I didn’t, and now Master Yoda nests in the left corner under my collection of death sticks and fluffed unicorns.”

“Anakin you must be careful. Also, on weekends, I dress like the Queen of Naboo and have Master Mundi act as my handmaiden.” 

“Anakin, your vegetables are good for you. Master Windu didn’t and he lost all of his hair, did you know?”

Anakin nods yes to about half of these, because no, he does not listen.

This becomes a habit, so even when’s lecturing Anakin in the hallway Obi-Wan will resort to this trick.

Needless to say that the masters are often baffled by some of the rumors that surface among the padawans, who swear that its the truth.

After, all, Obi-Wan’s own padawan nods and says “Yes, Master” to all of them.

i love that so many of us have decided without any evidence that Cody hates Anakin’s guts. Like Dinkleberg or Ned Flanders level loathing. 

I’d totally watch a sitcom about Codywan and Anidala living in the suburbs where Obi-Wan and Padme are catty best buds despite the occasional fight over what’s best for Anakin and meanwhile Anakin thinks he and Cody get along great! Meanwhile, Cody dreams nightly of all the creative ways he wants to kill the motherfucker with a lawnmower.

Manueluv and I are convinced Agent K is Coulson’s father. Hell, MIB is even owned by Marvel.

Chewbacca is buck wild as a character concept but so ingrained in the cultural canon that the full absurdity of him is often overlooked. Here's a middle-aged 200 year old space fellow who's eight feet tall with a full body perm, naked except for a bandolier he never uses, knows the local lingua franca but exclusively communicates by screaming and growling in his own language, has adopted Harrison Ford as a pet, will rip your arms out of their sockets if you beat him at chess. Go into any dog park and you'll bump into at least one mutt bearing his name. Roger Ebert despised him. In 1997 MTV gave him a Lifetime Achievement award.
