"Like, I won't actually let you die. But I might kill you."

They should have established Water Tribe moms carry babies under their parkas in canon so there could be a scene where katara smuggles like, Momo or some of the Cabbage Merchant's cabbages or something in the back of her parka and the guards they're having to get past are a distance away so they can't actually see that she isn't an adult and one says to the other like "I swear Water Tribe women get smaller every time I see one"

I'm surprised I've not seen anyone talking about the fact that Elon Musk is threatening to buy My Little Pony

What an amazing addition.

Guyyyyyyyyyzzzzz ‘m really high right now and want to babble about the Prequels and the insane and heartbreaking artistry that is the fight scenes. Because Obi Wan Kenobi is a badass and the real protagonist of the trilogy and I saw a great post here not long ago about Maul being extra in the power complex fight and Obi Wan murder walking to him, twirling his lightsaber like, “I’m about to fuck you up,” I NOTICED HE DOES THAT in every movie. 

Walking towards Maul, he does his little “say your prayers” spin of his lightsaber, in chasing the bounty hunter through Coruscant and the bar, and in his fight with Grievous on Utapau. All the same murder walk, the same channeling of every scrap of his attention, the same “you made your bed and now you’re about to die in it” attitude, the same little act of spite because he has his opponent on the ropes and his skills overdeveloped sense of vengeance are so much stronger than theirs. He’s toying with them, two or three steps ahead of them at every stage of the fights.

You know where he doesn’t do it?

Mustafar. 

You know who does do it?

This guy: 

I just…..who thinks of that? Who looks at a throwaway motion of Ewan MacGregor’s from Phantom Menace and uses it to encapsulate everything they’re feeling right now - Obi Wan’s doubt and Anakin’s commitment - and the complete dissolution of their relationship. Who does that.

hot take: katniss is a revolutionary female hero because she’s not really a hero. she fights for people, not for a greater good, and she’s willing to do awful things for her family, including killing innocents. she believes in a revolution because she wants freedom, not because “it’s the right thing to do.” she’s not a quirky female hero who always knows what to say. she’s awkward and self-depricating and blunt and not likeable, which is implicitly stated in the books and movies. she’s not comfortable in feminine clothes, she hunts, she’s scared and social uncomfortable in a way that makes others uncomfortable. she’s volitile in a way that’s very different than the normal quirky female lead, she’s not some manic bipolar idea, she’s a real person with genuine issues. she’s harsh and sharp and cruel and mean and she’s not perfect. she’s not even very likeable. she doesn’t speak much to others and when she does, it’s mostly angry or cutting. but she’s astounding and breathtakingly tragic while being real and raw and absolutely human.

I stand by all of these tags.

The Bridgerton boys really are all hoes.

Anthony - the ‘so intense it makes him stupid’ hoe

Benedict - the ‘hoe for a good cause’

Colin - the ‘self-absorbed, dumb of ass’ hoe
