For anyone curious the Jelly Tarts from The Dragon Prince, are a real desert. They are called Hamentashen, and they don’t have to be filled with Jelly, they can also have a poppy seed, date, fig or chocolate filling, (at least those are the most common I’m sure there are more) and they are delicious.

And here are some I made with my family, it’s really not hard to make:

As you can see I’m not much of a baker, but they did taste good.

They are eaten on the Jewish holiday of Purim.

Every year I am even more glad I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas.

I think the true measure of how good a Star Wars show is, is how many iconic memes we get out of it.

New Star Wars reaction image just dropped

The Star Wars cereal lore is expanding!

Now there’s different brands?! And types of milk?! Has anyone updated Wookiepedia yet??

with skeleton crew premiering today, a reminder: don't be fucking WEIRD about the kids. which, yes, goes for the characters. the characters are children. don't be weird about them.

but primarily: don't be weird about the actors. they are ACTORS. they are doing their JOBS. and they are children themselves!!!!!! if you don't like the characters, fine whatever. they're fictional. but keep your comments to yourself and don't harass the actors about it!! those are real kids and they are simply doing what they were hired to do, which is to play a part!

and if you don't think you're going to like something with kids as main characters, just don't fucking watch. it's not for you then, and that's okay!

It’s absolutely ok, sufganiyot is just Hebrew for donuts. Usually in this particular context referring to Jelly donuts. Which you can get anywhere donuts are sold. They are not a special kind of jelly donut or anything. Enjoy.

Traditionally fried foods like Jelly Donuts and Latkes (fried potato pancakes) are eaten on Hanukkah because of the miracle with the oil in the Hanukkah story.

Oh, you celebrate Christmas? Is that like a Christian Chanukah?

Wait, do you not get Chanukah presents? And it’s only one day? And you’ve never had sufganiyot? Oh my goodness, you poor thing!

The only thing keeping me from losing all of my mind and drawing Anakin in that infamous golden-bikini-slave outfit is my mug of coffee.

I think someone at Disney is conspiring against me, personally.

Because why do they keep dropping new Star Wars Shows at the least convenient times for me.

I really want to watch Skeleton Crew…

But I also need to be studying for finals.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.

I just had the dumbest idea, I think anyone’s had ever.

You know how presidents are always pictured eating fast food, to humanize them.

I imagine Palpatine does this for like optics. So there are these just awkward pictures of Palpatine and his top advisors sitting around at a table strategizing. And the table is just covered in space McDonalds.

Except the advisors don’t know how to act like normal non-military people. So they are in like the most awkward “act natural” poses.

And Palpatine has his sleeves rolled up and is warring a loosened tie over his Sith Robes.

And Darth Vader is just sitting there.

See the vision.

I love Arcane, though it does fall into the same trap a lot of fantasy shows fall into where characters from the same place have completely different accents.

Not a hater, at some point you gotta just throw up your hands and laugh.

The most egregious example I can think of is Han and Qi’ra from Solo, who canonically grew up in the exact same place and in the exact same social class. But have two entirely separate accents.
