#by objective standards

[animnightmare]

Somthing I love about old man fiddauthor is that, while we all agree McGucket is cute, he objectively aged poorly. Bald, few teeth, knobby knees and terrible posture. And Ford is canonically a silver fox. Like hes objectively attractive. And I just think the contrast is adorable

I told her you don't even have a woman here, and you know what she said? "Well, he probably doesn't have one, he's got eight!"

Chilcille huh... ngl I was a little suspicious. like why would you do that, huh... hope youre not mischaracterizing anyone in your weird and wacky ship. a little weird. but then you said they both had flat asses and you know what? I salute you and your perfect characterization

The fact you seem to think you managed to not make this ask insulting is baffling. What the hell. Fuck off.

If you actually care to be open minded about the ship, I talk about marchil on my sideblog 24/7. Funnily enough I’m currently 4k words deep into an analysis of their character arc together in canon, but that’ll take some more days to get done. Some notable posts:

Of course without counting the analyses of Chilchuck on his own I’ve made, like my masterpost on his family situation. Or better yet you could also read my fics for them, see how weird and wacky they are here.

Wanna talk about mischaracterisation? They’re literally a comedic duo who interacts 24/7. Marchil is crazy bc ppl are like "did those shipper read with their eyes CLOSED?? They have no chemistry!" Meanwhile canon is like: "She’s obsessed with knowing everything she can about him and she reads him like a book." In her eyes he’s like that extra rare and hard and shiny unlockable dating sim character, that brooding mysterious character trope that’s thrilling to crack open and typically is at the center of the plot. The wife roleplay???? "Hey, did you know his type is blondes. Hey did you know he likes his women pretty and blonde. Hey did you know he likes her hair. Hey did you know that he teases her 24/7 and it’s one of the few things that consistently gets him grinning because he finds her reactions cute." Like a schoolyard bully pulling on the pigtails of the girl he likes.

It’s not like they have any thematic narratives or relevance. It’s not like she’ll live to 1000 and has existential dread about it while he’s logically gonna be her next friend to die at 50 and wether it’s romantic or platonic it’ll terrify her to lose him. It’s not like it’s fear of death x fear of rejection so they’re both obsessed with the thought of loss looming, past and ongoing. It’s not like it’s half-elf x half-foot and there’s an inherent journey that was and still is to dispel prejudices and truly come to see each other. It’s not like he’s painfully real and raw and flawed but still a good man, that he’s not the figure of prince charming that she’s always dreamed of while still being virtuous and worth fighting for. Or you know, her hair being golden and it being the epitome of beauty to him, and his hair turning silver and it being Marcille’s worst nightmare.

Just a weird wacky ship who means nothing but shallow things to people who have weirdo reasons for liking it. Like can you not. If you’re not imaginative enough to think of reasons why this ship may have an appealing dynamic that’s not my issue. But yes, yes, they’re both flat asses to me, thanks.

With Ahsoka coming out, all I really have to say is that my approach to Star Wars is that sometimes Star Wars is good, sometimes Star Wars is bad, sometimes it’s just not for me, or so for me that I get a little mentally ill about it, but whatever it is, Star Wars is pizza. I like pizza. Almost universally. And sometimes pizza is this amazing stone-fired creation, a chewy crust topped with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and blackberries, and sometimes it’s a totinos pizza roll filled with cubes of something that’s kind of like pepperoni but definitely isn’t. The former is obviously better, but I can enjoy the latter, too. Doesn’t mean I won’t criticize it, that I’ll like everything about it, or that I’ll be satisfied with totino pizza roll Star Wars (heeeeeyyy Rise of Skywalker, you messy disaster), but it does mean that I will probably enjoy some small part of it on some level, and that I’ll probably talk about the parts I like more than the parts I don’t, mostly because I’m tired and complaining about things that ultimately don’t matter that much stopped being fun a while ago. Long story short: There’s probably going to be a lot about Ahsoka I like, and a lot I don’t—I wish it were animated, for one thing—but you probably won’t hear that much about the parts I don’t care for unless I actively despise it. I’m cautiously excited.

I’m also incautiously excited about the soundtrack. Because you know what’s always good? Star Wars music. More Star Wars music is ALWAYS a good thing.

🐅 for Sansa!

(lesbian with comphet aha)

Uuhhhhhh there’s also a lot for this one I adore the starklings. these ones might be controversial I know Arya and Sansa are heavily debated character on Tumblr but as a lover of both I’m gonna go for it.

Sansa is very much a people pleaser which is a symptom of her growing up in a society where women are expected to be perfect wives and mothers. She’s a child whose been forced to play the role of an adult bride at the end of the day, and I feel like a lot of people are very harsh on her without realizing that she is literally a child. I do think she’s quite similar to the quieter, more diplomatic Ned, while Arya takes after the independent, strong-willed Catelyn, but that doesn’t mean that Sansa doesn’t try to appeal to her mother. Her calling Jon her bastard brother is her doing just that. Her and Arya are a reversed version of me and my little sister (me being more like Arya and my sister being more like Sansa) so I very much have many MANY feelings about these characters and I can’t put them all down but hopefully this makes sense 😭😭😭 basically I think a lot of Sansa’s behaviour is a defense mechanism and symptom of being brought up in an unhealthy society and that she’s a child who deserves sympathy in her story. She’s smart and she’s a people pleaser and she’s scared and she’s a little girl who is being preyed upon by almost every man in her life from her betrotheds attack dog to her mothers childhood companion!!! She is a child!!!!

I’m hoping (I’m praying) that once the insecurities society has created for people—mainly women— becomes too much, the world will kind of reset and we’ll realize this is ridiculous and stop caring so much about appearance.

idk if i think gender is "a choice" or not (thinking abt it just gives me a headache) but i do think the idea of it being a choice would be less of a problem if culturally we had any respect for people's choices. like no i shouldn't need to justify anything. maybe it is true that i couldn't change this if i tried (have tried before). but that shouldn't matter. i chose this and that should be enough.

[strangeswift]

chappell roan is 100% correct when she says fans aren’t entitled to her time because they’re literal strangers. and i will die on that hill, HOWEVER, i don’t want to hear you defending chappell roan if you got mad when doja cat said the exact same shit
