I’m tired of seeing all these caveats on The Acolyte saying that the writing could’ve been better or it wasn’t as good like there’s a need to preemptively defend criticism of it when saying it deserved to get renewed. It was just as good or bad as most of the other star wars live action, none of which in terms of either quality (everything except Andor) or performance has surpassed The Mandalorian.
The Acolyte had a good first season, set the stage for a new direction, was able to build word of mouth and attract new audiences, and by the end of the season was going viral in a way that only Obi-Wan managed to do by bringing in a second legacy character (Anakin). This is now the 4th production including the sequel series that received a targeted hate campaign, by which I’m placing strong emphasis on the words targeted and campaign because both Ahsoka and TBOBF received large amounts of racist abuse.
Star Wars is a stagnant media property, coming off of a widely-panned sequel series (which managed to achieve the rare feat of alienating both the racist and misogynistic parts of the fanbase and just about everyone else in refusing to properly develop the new leads as it re-tooled itself to appease the former.) Just about every actor of color in a leading role has been subject to widespread racial abuse, it frequently undermines its own initiative to focus on female characters, and in refusing to stand by its own IP it’s destroying any long-term plan to revitalize the fanbase before it even gets off the ground, the High Republic era now having years of investment and buildup cast aside.
When all of the following media projects fail because no one has faith in them after how they handled their previous projects (looking at the upcoming Rey-centric Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy led film) its going to once again be blamed on ‘bad quality, bad production, whatever the racist dog whistle of the season is like the current “wokeism” etc.’ and not an inherent refusal of a company to stand by its own work. This is Star Wars, no one, not even the biggest fans of the prequel films were coming out of theatres thinking this was Oscar-winning high art. What made it work is George Lucas’ refusal to give in to criticism and fundamentally change his own creation, for better or worse, whether it be bad CGI and Jar Jar Binks, or making an annoying little kid named Ani the central protagonist of the first film in decades. That same attitude stood by giving Anakin a padawan named Ahsoka. It should be ushering in a new era of Star Wars, instead half the audience is convinced Lucasfilm hates its own IP.
#the acolyte#star wars#had to get this all off my chest because I’m so tired of this shit#we can go on and on about the writing poduction whether the volume should exist etc etc etc#none of it fundamentally matters#for half these projects because they’re going to get scrapped after two episodes#the sequel series had someone hitting the eject button from the second too many people started throwing the n word around about Finn#tbobf got five dollars because execs thought no one would tune into the fetts without a helmet on so you could see that’s he’s brown#(*they I meant he being Temeura)#Ahsoka is only doing well because of the set up from TCW and popular leads#and barely at that#it’s a fucking nightmare#because Disney is practically printing cash with Grogu’s name on it and still won’t make proper investments#at this point a smaller project with a $20 budget made in someone’s basement is a better long term investment

My dad: I would be so much fun on a dad’s trip!
In reality, he would be an absolute nightmare.
#he doesn’t know what it’s like to travel with him#it’s a fucking nightmare#what do you mean we have to get to the airport at 8 when our flight is at 12???#do you really need the window seat because you’ll have to pee 20 times and I don’t want to move#why do you have to rush off the plane as soon as we land

Coming to realize that summer is just. Bad For Me.
#and it’s mostly daylight savings and time anxiety that is doing me in and it fucking sucks#like if it weren’t it’d be six rn and that would feel a whole better than not being able to sleep until 7am you feel?#at least then I’d be able to wake up at a relatively more normal feeling time and it wouldn’t feel like crap on my end#worst fucking part is that I tried to go to sleep at 4:30 and that didn’t work out#summer insomnia is literally the pits#it’s a fucking nightmare

Well sadly no. It’s just depressingly abysmal. More would know me had I decided to draw popular and trending characters and shows.
Well known in your tumblr space meaning within your fandom/art/music/whatever space people are aware of you but not really anywhere else
#polls#zenmom#loneliness hurts#it’s a fucking nightmare#it’s also a fucking nightmare to no longer have access to my instagram account and the app itself

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.
like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!
#like am I going insane#why did I see a post with thousands of notes on it talking about how it doesn’t make sense to be asking for this sort of action#it doesn’t make SENSE?#like god! I hope you’re taking other more sensible courses of action then!#fucks sake man#bisan is living through a waking nightmare and some of you are so pedantic and miserly#palestine#free Palestine

edit: this post is not for terfs. trans women are women.
you ever just think about how across the whole of human history, the window of time where women have been able to choose not to spend their lives cooking and cleaning and being pregnant for men they never wanted to marry is so vanishingly small, and even then that’s not an option for women in lots of areas of the world, and there are girls being taken out of school and forced to marry at 12 years old, and if nothing changes for them then all they’ll ever know is a life of forced servitude and abuse and rape, and how some men just see this as fucking normal
you ever just think about how the gulf between women’s rights in different countries is so massive and there are men working their fingers to the bone to strip back reproductive rights because they look at their society where women can live their lives free from being shackled to men through financial dependence and constant pregnancy and childbirth and think ‘this won’t do at all’
you ever just think about the surge of ‘tradwife’ propaganda and how people are romanticising the vulnerability and dependence that some women would kill to break out of. how women are romanticising their own oppression
