"You won't leave me, right...?"

[celestialgunfireopera]

I was talking about Clone Wars to my friends (We have a chat called Trash Can Chat and it has a picture of R2-D2) and this rant came up.

Disclaimer: I am not done with the show. But I know enough to know I don't get all of this. Second disclaimer: I am aware that Clone Wars was meant for a younger audience and that there are reasons it was written the way it was. I love it, I just also have feelings and wish we'd broken it down a bit more.

You want to really make Order 66 Devastating?

SHOW ME more than the 501st. (Who did really get a short end of the stick no lie)

Show me the 212th which from everything I've read was one of the most loyal battalions in the whole fucking war.

Show me snippets of Plo's clones with Commander Wolffe. Show me why they were so loyal beyond one fucking episode. Show me Aayla and Commander Bly. Show me Fox and how not having a Jedi probably doomed him in a way.

Show me the clones starting to realize that if the war ends they have no purpose, but also the Jedi promising to fight for them AS people. to give them rights. Show me the bond between both sides that made the jedi trust them at their back so unequivocally.

Do all of this so that WHEN Order 66 hits, you're watching characters you KNOW would rather die then pull this off. Show me Cody's entire personality gone in a flash when you've watched two or three seasons of him putting himself at risk to keep Obi-Wan alive.

Show me Wolffe and Bly and their relationships with their jedi growing and that trust morphing, and those individual personalities shining.

So that when those personalities are TAKEN AWAY, you ache. When the culture the clones have created is wiped away to blank slates and good soldiers follow orders you know what they've lost. What you've lost.

TLDR: I have a lot of feelings and wanted to see more clones.

AS PROMISED: A LIL TASTE OF NEW SHIT !!!!!!! Immediately following the events of s4, Guillermo leaves Staten Island to embark on a decade long journey of his own. He falls in love, he makes mistakes, and learns a hell of a lot about what it means to be dead. All the while he cannot help but compulsively write to Nandor, letters that never get sent. When he returns home to a Nandor who cannot keep his nose out of a book, Guillermo has to reckon with his past and all of the ways things have changed. A story told in crumpled notes, love letters, and longing (past and present)---my distinctly silly ass presents to yall a sneak peek of Ex Libris, which will be posted to a03 sometime tomorrow evening!!! <3

AMAZON IS STRIKING LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!! LETS GO!@!

as someone who has worked in amazon warehouses for many years, this is crazy like. oh my god. DURING PEAK SEASON?? LETS GOOOO

media and companies are already trying to say "DONT LET THE UNIONS MISLEAD YOU WE PROMISE WE TREAT OUR WORKERS WELL!!!" well hey ive worked there for YEARS. they do not ! dont listen to their bullshit. it might be difficult to not get frustrated if packages are late at the most important time of the year but thats the whole point -- strikes happening when the workers are most necessary is a massive blow to showing just how essential the workers are . anyways stand with amazon workers this holiday season god fucking bless

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!

shaking my head while playing neko atsume so people know that I don’t support outdoor cats

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

when a song has a callback to earlier songs on the same album or even songs from a previous album. that’s the good shit right there

I'm jumping off a bridge. Their backstory is so tragic, I can't.

The fact that even Queenie being in the state she was, Kinger still found humanity in her, the fact that he risked his life knowing she could go crazy and attack him just so he could touch her one last time.

And the fact that Queenie allowed him to do it, the fact that she was able to keep control as a abstracted just so she could feel him. Because she loved him and he loved her back and both of them knew her fate, but in that moment, it was just them, their last moment together so both made it work.

This is such a powerful image I want to hug both of them.
