STAR WARS ATLA HEADCANONS

(because I'm now obsessed with this idea, thank you @vulpesarctica for your lovely posts)

THE CLONE WARS || OG TRILOGY || REBELS || MANDO ERA

GENERAL AU HEADCANONS: - for the sake of the story let's flip the original atla timeline on it's head - republic city came first, and then the whole "100 year war" - i actually haven't watched all of lok so pls bear with me - sidious is some sort of chancellor, still - dooku is firelord, however he's NOT A BENDER - I MUST STRESS THE FACT THAT HE CANNOT BEND - *cough*atleastothepublic*cough* - *cough*he'stotallyafirebender*cough* - anyways he's very "antibender" - and ig benders are a lot like jedi, bc they hafta be "disciplined" or whatever - except, yk, more organized than the benders in atla - but dooku declares war, on benders, and the rest of the world, yadayada - badabing badabang badabingbangboom - btw i have ZERO clue how clones would work in atla but let's just say they're all hired fighters or smth that look the same idk - or they're like the dai li - idk - ANYWAYS let's excuse my sucky worldbuilding skills and get onto the headcanons :)

ANAKIN SKYWALKER: SANDBENDER FIREBENDER 🔥 - actually tho imagine if he was a sandbender - okay so he would TOTALLY be a firebender like cmon - he's feisty and chaotic and fire is fucking perfect for him - but in this case firebending wouldn't be, like, taboo because of the circumstances of the war - and it's canon that darth vader cannot use sith lightning so let's make it (head)canon that anakin cannot summon lightning - he's salty abt it - sidious probably eventually burns him but blames it on obiwan - except his marriage with padme wouldn't be taboo either??? let's just say she's very anti-war so the rest of the temple doesn't really like her

OBI-WAN KENOBI: WATERBENDER 🌊 - so at first i thought that obi would be an airbender - but then i read iroh's lil speech on airbenders and it doesn't fit obi-wan - so waterbender he is :) - he was taught by qui-gon, who is an earthbender (he's so stubborn cmon) - so obi-wan definitely has some earthbender qualities to him - i think that obi-wan does eventually bloodbend, when maul captures satine - it wasn't something taught in the temple, but obi-wan is obi-wan - (ventress taught it to him) - and he fucking hated that feeling and vowed to never do it again

AHSOKA TANO: EARTHBENDER 🪨 - so ik that the post linked above has ahsoka down as a waterbender - and while it does, in fact, fit her - she possesses a LOT of earthbending qualities and honestly i think this fits her better - no, it doesn't make sense that anakin is a firebender and teaches her but then again - iroh said that people have to learn from each other and so that's what the temple does :) - ahsoka gets her fiery temper and overall chaoticness from anakin - and her adaptability from obi-wan - but her stubborness and her resolve? that's all her own - she's strong and she's not afraid to show it :D - tbh she's basically the avatar with all of her mentors but can't actually bend all the elements but whatever

MACE WINDU: EARTHBENDER 🪨 - i feel like this doesn't need to be explained - but i shall anyway - he's very headstrong - he has strong morals and isn't afraid to fight you on them - what other explanation do you want ;-;

PLO KOON: WATERBENDER 🌊 - *pulls out powerpoint presentation* PLO IS SUCH A WATERENDER AND HERE'S WHY - ok so i was SO FUCKING CLOSE to putting him down as an airbender but ultimately i had to choose water as plo's element - because he's a very peaceful person and we see that a LOT - but i had to make him a waterbender because he's a family man and so loving and that's what made me choose water for him - *cough*wolffepack*cough* - ily plo

KIT FISTO: AIRBENDER 🌪 - he doesn't really need any elaboration - he's just an airbender - he's very free-spirited, and we do see him joke around a bit during clone wars - very peaceful dude

ASAJJ VENTRESS: BLOODBENDER 🩸 - okay so i need to explain this for a sec - dooku's whole thing is against benders - but if we include some of the niche bending, like metalbending and bloodbending - which aren't really out there if yk what i mean - then nobody would know that it was ventress who was technically bending - i feel like there is a potential way for bloodbending to be used for good, and that's kinda where the whole nightsister thing would come in - people think they're witches but no, they're just really good waterbenders - (the nightsisters use bloodbending for kinda gray-area purposes) - (but they use it to help maul later and you'll see what i mean)

SHAAK TI: AIRBENDER 🌪 - i'm pretty sure that shaak ti could fall under waterbender, because she cares a LOT for the clones and i totally agree with her being their "mom" like how plo is their "dad" - but she's very peaceful, and i'm in AWE every single time she's on screen - like how tf is she so calm - so airbender she is :)

YODA: AIRBENDER 🌪 - he is an airbender and you can fucking fight me on this - HE CHECKS ALL THE BOXES HELLO - "detached themselves from worldly concerns" CHECK - "and they found peace and freedom" CHECK - "and they apparently had great senses of humor” DEBATABLE BUT CHECK - bro could literally be the former avatar but whatever - he's amazing and we love him - people sometimes think he's just a really weird spirit - and he probably is - but whatever

MAUL: FIREBENDER 🔥 - okay so i actually did consider making him a bloodbender - because of ventress & the nightsisters and that whole thing - however - there's no way that sidious would have taken him on as his apprentice if he wasn't a firebender so uhhhh yeah - he's a firebender, with a LOT of rage - a lil too much tbh

BARRIS OFFEE: AIRBENDER 🌪 - i think that barris is an airbender - she's very calm, most of the time - however she does have the capability to blow up, and we can see that when she frames ahsoka - aang blew up too tho so it's okay :) - i don't know a lot about her or her master so idk if this is good or not

also quinlan vos is an airbender okay bye

My favorite episode is when they go to ambush Amon in the season finale of book 1, plus General Iroh defeats those 5 airplanes by himself

Systemic Racism and RWBY Volume 7 Episode 3

The saddest thing about this entire episode is that Marrow succinctly sums up the truth of RWBY; that basically all our human characters are complicit in a systemic system of racism that disenfranchises the Faunus by allowing the existing governments to simply operate as they do...and the show just brushes it off, with none of our protagonists, not even Blake, saying anything, doing anything, just...just...

It is depressing. Marrow’s right; the world is systemically racist, the governments are all human dominated and we’ve seen that even in the likes of Beacon Academy Cardin can utilize racial slurs without any official consequences at all. Ozpin, Ironwood, all of them are guilty and complicit of enabling and perpetuating systematically racist governments, by their cooperation with said governments rather than fighting against them our protagonists become guilty of that too, are just like every other institution of State Power, maintaining a status quo in which systemic racism abuses the Faunus.

It’s a common feature of media, again and again, and it shows that so much of Western Media is still very much the product of the enfranchised and the privileged; genuflection to power.

Even though we know all four Kingdoms are systematically racist in their governments they are never wholesale tarred or portrayed as absolutely evil, our protagonists never seek their complete destruction or reformation, are willing to cooperate with figures of authority and power within these states under who’s watch the systemic racism has remained unaddressed for years.

Meanwhile; the only major representation of militant resistance to systemic racism is universally portrayed as an inhuman organization of literal faceless monsters who our protagonists regularly combat and destroy.

There is this clear divergence in the portrayal we see: Militant resistance to racism = evil. Assisting systemically racist governments and their heads of state = good.

Why do our protagonists not fight the racist governments of the Kingdoms? Tear down and reform the kingdoms through violence and force? Why?

The obvious answer is because we live in a real world where people genuflect to the power of systemically racist governments so RWBY is just doing what our real world media regularly does: strive to convince us systemic racism doesn’t exist, our governments aren’t guilty of them, and we should never dream of actually fighting against our governments like we’d fight against rebels.

You see it in Korra too with how the Antibender rebellion was treated largely as a purely evil institution. Again and again and again this idea that an oppressed minority fighting for it’s rights is inherently wrong and evil is given to us through the depiction of almost any such action or faction as evil or monstrous. Meanwhile the systemically racist governments are often exempt or given far softer depictions, protagonists are among their number/they’re doing the best they can/reform takes time etc. etc. all narratives designed to basically say the needs for equal treatment of an oppressed minority just aren’t important enough.

And in this one scene in RWBY it feels like the show writers literally just decide to put their heads in the sand. “Yeah, systemic racism is real, you’re all complicit in it, but let’s not care about that because addressing it would mean addressing how terribly this racism allegory has been set up,”

I can’t handle it.

I remember when Volume 6 ended and we had that final shot of the team headed to Atlas. I remember people doing things where they’d combine that scene with the Marxist meme, about how Blake’s gonna ‘repossess fruits of labour’ and such. But, none of that happens. Blake never expresses a motivation or willingness to actively fight Atlas’ systemically racist government, to repossess the ill-gotten gains of the Dust Mining for the Faunus who were forced into slavery to harvest it.

What’s worse is we have no Faunus figure of any sort left who ever actively expresses any desire to fight for equal rights. Blake has faded into the background and seems unwilling to fight the racist governments of Remnant at all, Marrow has made clear that he’s smart enough to understand but also decided that he’ll take his own road to success as many did by assimilating and collaborating, and the only major figure mentioning Faunus equality is now a human, Robyn Hill. This is just the White Saviour trope.

Was it too much to ask that Atlas introduce us to a good militant resistance Faunus character to lead the role here? So that the Faunus actually lead in this regard? In the story of their own persecution?

I swear if Jacques isn’t killed...if he’s just imprisoned or redeemed after Adam and the White Fang were depicted as irredeemable monsters, then...well, honestly, that isn’t even so bad. That’s a blip compared to the issues above.

Day 2 & 3 of #30days30tricks. Is it cheating? Idk. One is a 4 lobe antibend vs a weaving extension. Other video is a little sequence I tend to fall into when freestyling. Both are super easy.

Slider ONE 40, portable and for professionals

  Able to support a load over 20 Kg, the Slider ONE 40 from ShooTools can be used on its own or with other accessories, meaning it may be the starting point for your sliding passion.

ShooTools offers a range of sliders, including their Slider Modula 2 in 1 and the Slider Modula 3 in 1: a slider for all occasions, introduced in January 2017 as a modular solution for those needing to work with sliders of different lengths: 40, 80 and 150 cm. This “new” Slider ONE 40 expands on the smaller slider of that collection, offering a portable solution for all those who need to pack a slider to use in extreme locations or on the go. Although 40 cm may seem short for some video work, many accept that it is a compromise they are willing to take, in order to carry less.

The best slider in the world is the one that you’ve with you. The more portable it is, the better. That’s where ShooTools wants to place the Slider ONE 40, making it the most portable slider you always carry with you, so you never miss one tracking shot again. The company says it is the perfect tool for the wedding videomaker and for the traveler. In their website they also mention something that is important: you can always buy an extra rail of different size, later, if you feel the need for it.

The new slider continues to offer the same level of quality users expect from ShooTools: each component has got a high standard quality and performance, and is assembled, tested and packed manually by expert people in Italy.

The carriage is universal, obtained through CNC process from a unique aluminum block, with Brake and Friction System, as usual in ShooTools. The same ST-66 technopolymer used in the Modula series is present in the wheels of the Slider ONE 40, in order to guarantee max smoothness and extreme carriage fluidity. Each wheel is characterized by a double steel ball bearing that equipped the exclusive ShooTools’ wheel assembly, for a max fluidity of movement and performance.

In terms of friction, the double Friction System used allows to act both on the wheel assembly system and manually, in real time, in order to adjust the feeling of your tracking shot. Antibending track, with the record width of 84 mm, realized to guarantee an absolute stability even for the heaviest video cameras, completes the product main characteristics. The Slider supports a load over 20 Kg and is ready to be motorized or equipped with other accessories. Suitable for any type of photo or video head with 3/8″ thread, any Slider could be installed easily and rapidly also over tripods and plates of 1/4″ and 3/8″.

ShooTools claims that each component undergoes two distinct types of treatment: the first one, by shot peening through ceramic spheres, increases the hardness and the resistance to fatigue of the object and, in addition, provides a pleasant hi-grip finish. The second treatment, anodizing at 30 microns, protects the device from any external agent. These technical solutions allow the use of the ShooTools Camera Slider Modula from the Namib Desert to the glaciers of Greenland.

1/30 #30days30tricks 4 lobe Antibend vs wall plane extension......................... It's about to get real 3D in this bitch. Lol. I'm gonna be honest and say that 100 days is... a lot. Realistically, I can commit to 30 days and maybe with a number that reasonable, I can be super consecutive... I'm not making any promises though.
