WOULD THEY GO SEE THE BARBIE MOVIE?? WOULD THEY WEAR PINK????

They'd have to bully Nightmare, but they absolutely would, as a unit, go wearing tons of pink.

Nightmare wears a darker pink jacket, and everyone counts it as a win.

...Although none of them quite grasp the concept, since... the issues addressed aren't really a thing in monster society. They get it, but at the same time don't understand why it needs to be repeated so blatantly throughout. Doesn't prevent them from enjoying the humor any.

They also all enjoy the concept of melding into human society, having to overcome vast cultural differences, societal norms, the works. None of them... yet... have really lived among humans in their AUs (with maybe the exception of Cross, but his is a special case).

And the 'Beach-off' jokes run rampant in the castle for weeks.

So, after all these years, I've finally watched Star Wars for the first time. Just the first one, mind. And I have Many Thoughts that I shall inflict upon the world. I thought I knew everything about Star Wars just by existing in this world for several years but apparently not.

Darth Vader is just some guy??? I thought he'd be Space Sauron. I thought he'd be this towering intimidating spectre looming like a shadow over everything. Instead he talks and moves like just a regular guy. He's not even that tall. He's not even in charge. He's just a guy in a cape.

There's something absolutely charming about the dated effects that's a bit like watching old-school Doctor Who. The budget is higher than that but some of the earnest attempts with noticeably shoddy outcomes are very pleasing to me.

I honestly thought blowing up the big space orb of death was how the whole trilogy ended. That seems like a culmination. That's a big deal. But they've already done it?? So what are they doing in the other two films???? I was so sure this was the climax of the trilogy!

It is genuinely not clear to me how old Luke is supposed to be, and therefore not clear to me whether I should be reading Han's instant affection for this earnest dorky revolutionary kid as brotherly, romantic, or paternal. Someone tell me if that's meant to be a child or not.

There are very few aliens in this space movie. Like, they had them around. There were some people draped in cloth on the desert planet that were probably aliens. There were all those aliens in the bars. But the empire and the rebels seem to be human all the way. Why? Are they racist? Is space racism going to come up in the next two movies?

The rebels completely bewilder me because they seem both very small and scrappy and hopeless - and very well-funded, trained, and organised with excellent discipline and matching uniforms. I cannot tell whether they're a fly buzzing around the empire's picnic or this is more like a legit civil war.

I thought the gold robot and the tin can robot were the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of this piece but it turns out they're the main characters? Like, sure, once the plot really gets going, the others take up more screentime, but the main character arc seems to belong to the gold robot man and the plot is completely driven by those two. I did not predict that.

Obsessed with how nobody in this universe experiences grief. Farm burns down and only family you've ever known is dead? It's whatever, you're over it already. Entire planet blows up, destroying your home and killing millions of people, probably including most of those you love and care about? Literally never addressed again.

So, like, what were they farming? I think I must have blinked and missed that. What were they farming in the desert?

Han Solo and Chewbacca were less important and less interesting than I expected. I kind of assume they get more to do in the next two movies because I didn't feel like I had time to get to know much about them.

Actually, the only characters I felt I got time to know anything about were the gold robot and the tin can robot. Everyone else was too busy rushing about.

So, am I right in thinking that Luke and Leia turn out to be siblings? I thought I knew that was a plot point but now it feels like they're teasing a potential romantic dynamic between them. If they are siblings, was that always in the plan? Did they intend to have that very YA romance oops-almost-incest moment or was that a last minute choice?

The lack of diversity in this entire galaxy is staggering, even for the '80s, and I wouldn't have even noticed it if there had been enough aliens to distract me. I'm currently pretending to believe wholeheartedly that all the stormtroopers are black women because committing to that is driving my dad nuts and he hates that he can't remember anything (not having seen the films since they were first made) that would 100% prove me wrong. I'm enjoying this bit, but also genuinely why is there so little diversity, both in humans and in other species? Star Trek wasn't like this.

I feel like I was given a lot of exposition and yet I understand absolutely nothing about this world and the mentor-guide is already dead. Presumably - he kind of disappeared in a puff of smoke not leaving a corpse behind but I figure probably dead. I'm not mad about this but I am a bit overwhelmed by how many words have been thrown at me and never explained.

Occasionally the acting is so endearingly stagey and fake, in that slightly old-fashioned low-budget way that makes it seem like a school play, that I kept laughing any time someone had to pretend to die.

At times it genuinely felt like they were making the story up as they went and I love that! It was so messy and it felt like they were improvising around unexpected technical limitations or just time constraints or bad planning. The whole thing had this chaotic playing-pretend-with-your-friends energy that I honestly adored.

The animals! Nobody told me about the animals! Honestly, the animals on the desert planet were the best part of this entire movie. The little jumping rat things?! The big buffalo things with the horns?! The giant desert lizard that a guy was riding on!!!! The desert lizard was only in a few shots but it was my favourite thing about the whole movie and I would be happy to watch this entire franchise if I just got a handful of cool new animals in every one.

Do you get to meet the animals in that theme park they have now? Is there content related to the giant desert lizard that you can ride on? Do we ever see more of them? Do they have a name? I'm very invested in the giant desert lizard

Anyway, those are the things on my mind now that I've finally seen this movie! It was somehow simultaneously everything I thought it was going to be and absolutely nothing like what I had in my head. My predictions for the future are that Han becomes more interesting, Luke gets a cooler outfit, the mafia boss slug man comes back (and hopefully those jazzy little aliens in the band, do they have a spinoff series? they were great), and....hopefully space lizard???

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

❤️‍🩹 When Zuko says “I’m tired” with all the brokenness in his soul, exhausted from his own rage, wallowing in the ruination of knowing his father truly doesn’t want him to succeed and how Uncle Iroh just understands and soothingly says, “a man needs his rest.”

Iroh, what a wholesome dude, I love him still.

"Now listen here, you son of a glitch... If you EVER touch ANY of my friends, I'll be making damn sure that you'll be joining Niles up there in the ether. Got it?"

I wholeheartedly think that 4 should get to threaten Mr. Puzzles should he even think to try anything funny again. It probably won't happen, but I can dream... Anyway, 4 is NOT happy!

If the art gets misinterpreted as something else somehow, I am going to CRY /srs /neg
