Mace killed Jango in open combat in a major battle of a Galactic War. Anyone who says it was murder is an idiot.

"Mace cruelly murdered Jango." Well, maybe Jango's bitchass shouldn't have been there to watch someone Mace cared about deeply being killed

I don’t know what happened, but she passed WAY too soon.

May God accept her soul and grant comfort to her loved ones.

rest in peace angel 🤍

She used a sword from The Northman to cut her wedding cake!?!

She might be the perfect woman.

I think my favorite part of that was calling out the Blue Fairy for being evil, because I think I may have hated her the most.

Snowing is such a ridiculous ship.

They have the least amount of braincells between them of any pairing I've ever seen. They feel entitled to the right to the monarchy despite several canon examples of them being absolutely terrible leaders. They are always desperately horny for each other even in the face of immediate death. Their best friend is the woman who spent like four decades trying to kill them and/or make their lives miserable. They are utterly convinced of their own self-righteousness despite consistently picking the most selfish option whenever facing adversity. Their circle of advisors consits of a talking cricket, two werewolves, seven random dudes of slightly below average stature, and a fairy who is doing a piss poor job of hiding the fact that she's evil. They hate poor people despite each of them living significant portions of their lives in poverty. They are about as impervious to death as cockroaches despite having a propensity for pissing off powerful magic wielders and almost no useful skills or survival instincts to speak of. Their solution to every problem is to use the power of true love and if that doesn't work they just lay down and wait for someone else to save them. They are both bisexual and closeted about it.

But she does tragedy so well!

There was also a surprising amount of comedy in this show, even if little of it involved her character.

Someone throw a fucking rom-com at Alycia I'm begging, one fucking happy script

All true, Belle was a morally bankrupt person and seeing her finally be exposed was a joy.

The tragedy of the show really lies in the fates of Milla, her mother, and Lucy. The "alternative medicine" did not work, and the time lost lead to preventable deaths. Joe and Justin were absolutely correct in their insistence that their loved ones use science based medicine, but their attitude and methods didn't help anything. And it takes that mutual understanding before Lucy returns to doctors.

I’m watching Apple Cider Vinegar, which is about a woman who faked a brain tumor to sell a wellness book and app. Now of course that premise is offensive, but I’m far more interested in the story of her “rival” Milla, who is based on a woman named Jessica Ainscough. She tragically died after refusing to let surgeons cut off her arm and tried to treat her cancer with diet. She did the same with her mother who passed away two years before she eventually died herself in 2015.

As much as scammers enrage me, there is nothing more upsetting then the true believers who buy into the scams. They might make you feel better for a while but eventually they will fail against a disease like cancer.

I get that the treatment for cancer is shit, and is usually a choice between chemo, surgery, and radiation, sometimes all 3. We have reduced the rates of cancer death but it doesn’t change the hell that people go through to survive.

I do however think this show is also showing how doctors can be so sure of themselves that they only try to treat the cancer and not the patient. Doctors themselves are the ones that drive many people to seek alternative therapy, regardless of how good the traditional one is. You can’t just berate a cancer patient into the treatment you want, you need to help them understand and get on their level.

As tragic as I consider the scam that is “alternative medicine”, we should never treat people who look to it as stupid. We need to understand where modern medicine failed them and forced them away from science based medicine.

My view of Dick has always been is that he is fun loving wise cracking guy...who you should never ever piss off. He's a wonderful friend to have, but only if he considers you a friend. If he doesn't like you, he won't pretend to.

As you said, he doesn't need to throw the first punch but he will always throw the last. Jason Todd was beaten to death by The Joker. Dick beat the The Joker to death. That says something between them.

He has always been Bruce's true successor. It isn't simply because he's the eldest. It's because he's the best of all the Batchildren.

very tired of the ‘Dick Grayson is mostly a pretty boy with bad puns, golden retriever vibes’ trope. Give me German Shepherd Dick. Give me the ‘consummate performer’ Dick. The one all, brilliance, bloody smiles and showmanship, the one with razor sharp wit and charm made weapon. Dick who seamlessly switches between a million personas. The one who doesn’t know what to do when the show’s over. Give me the Dick no one wants to be on the wrong side of because Nightwing might not start battles, but he finishes them. The only one whose threats the entire Batfam (including Bruce) takes seriously. The one fear toxins can’t affect because he’s been to hell and back.

The Dick who unlike Jason doesn’t even mention how much he’s been fucked up and survived. The one the Joker knew he couldn’t break.

Didn’t Sydney Sweeney just say something like this too? About how fake Hollywood is regarding “supporting women” and feminism?

I mean this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Hollywood is by definition fake and simply catering to a (perceived) audience, and women tearing each other down is nothing new.

What was the line in Mean Girls, “You need to stop calling each other bitches and sluts, it just makes it easier for men to call you bitches and sluts”.

It’s sad that this is the world we live in, but it isn’t new and shouldn’t be a surprise.

That said, I stand by Blake Lively and Amber Heard and wish the truth would come out and actually be believed.

I didn’t know that parrilla was swanqueen shipper at all, let alone a huge one. That makes her even more awesome.

regina mills is such a good character because of the combination of two things:

1: simultaneously being both the writers favorite and their punching bag

2: lana parrilla's verging on psychotic dedication to her craft

[missourielephant]

Accurate. That even got addressed in one of the Season Finale's (4 think), where the Author noted that he was always fond of her and that she "got screwed over more than other character". To which she snapped, in the wonderful irate Regina way, "I'm aware!"

Honestly I love the fact that their force ghosts are still missing their hands.

Imagine ghost Dooku's reaction to literally all of Rebels! And/or to each of your AU’s!
