What I have gathered about Star Wars based on takes about unfamiliar SW material from people who have bad takes on the stuff I am familiar with:
I should play KOTOR 2 (according to them KOTOR 2 is bad for the same "wahhh subversion of expectations" and "daring to imply the Jedi might be slightly less than perfect" reasons as TLJ was supposedly 'bad'.)
Kreia is awesome and interesting and sexy actually ("Kreia was a dumb shit idiot baby and Grey Jedi aren't a thing!!!")
Ashoka is awesome and interesting and sexy actually ("Ashoka is Dave Filoni's boring overpowered mary sue OC")
Bo Katan is awesome and interesting and sexy actually ("She's awful and iredeemable and blames everyone else for it just like Anakin!" (Which itself relies on the supposition that Anakin's redemption that is a core event of the series is somehow invalid))
(Really interesting how three of these in a row are about major female characters, despite these same people calling others mysogynists)
Jedi are accepting of non-force-sensitive people into their ranks, much like the rebuidling Air Nomads in early AtLoK ("Wahhh jedi can only be force users!!!")
Mandalorian internally-driven cultural reform is good actually ("It's cultural genocide to not be warlike and murdery anymore!") (This one was from a different group of people than the others; I'd love to put them both in the same room and watch them fight)
Book of Boba Fett is bad ("Book of Boba Fett is bad")
#not a reblog#star wars#i should just unfollow the people putting this stuff on my dash#they generally have decent takes on non-SW stuff#it's just like there's these weird blinders there#where nuance is unilaterally rejected#and George Lucas's intentions are more important#than what the actual body of the text says#at least we can all agree on bobf#star wars discourse

Top 5 Darrow Cassius Heterosexual Moments™️ from light bringer
5. Flirting over swordplay (not a euphemism)
4. Married disapproval
3. Tending to the homies wounds
2. Whatever the hell this was
1. They’re literally honeymooning. Cassius and Virginia are going to fight each other for Darrow’s hand. She literally had his baby and is married to him and I’m still not sure she’s winning.
#red rising#light bringer#light bringer spoilers#darrow of lykos#cassius au bellona#Darrow x Cassius#I genuinely had to prune this list to get it to a top 5. they’re insane.#Darrow has grown so much from the mines but he simply cannot remove the heteronormative blinders#see also: his conversation with sevro about valdir#I think cassius was genuinely shooting his shot the entire time they were aboard the Archimedes and Darrow just fully didn’t notice#he’s like ‘huh cassius keeps showing up in my bedroom fully nude. little weird but I suppose it is his ship’

Fantasy webcomics got me itching to rant about horses again
I swear I go through this every time
The curse of knowing too much
#i have this issue with movies and shows too#i do my best to put my blinders on but goddamn...sometimes its just too agregious#i can deal with the blatant disregard for horse anatomy#horses are weird and hard to draw if you dont know exactly how they move and how their joints work#but please for the sake of everything you hold dear OF COURSE YOURE GOING TO BE UNSTABLE AND FALL IF YOU GET OFF OF A HORSE FACING OUTWARDS#PLEASE DEAR GOD ITS LIKE A LADDER STOP HAVING THEM GET OFF LIKE THAT THATS HOW YOU GET TANGLED IN THE TACK AND DIE#well maybe not die but get hurt because if you get tangled while getting down you could really get hurt#and if youre going to get down facing outwards you disengage from every bit of your tack and make sure you arent brushing against the saddle#as you get down#but jumping down is a great way to roll your ankle#can you imagine getting hung up on the saddle and dangling there just like a cartoon character who got hung up on a clothing hook?#at least if you are facing the horse and saddle#you can detangle your clothing easily#still embarrassing but manageable#ugh im already ranting#you cant learn anything without consequences

Again, after my like ten thousandth rewatch of s1 Peaky Blinders, I get to e6 and realize for the first time that there’s a calendar behind Campbell’s desk. I only caught this because I knew the Kimber showdown was on December 3rd from the black star diary entry, and during the shot when Moss tells Campbell that Kimber is dead, I noticed the big “3” behind his head.
So I went back to ep5 to see what date them digging up the guns and Tommy hiding at Grace’s was, because I always assumed that those days happened like right after another. But nah, the date behind Campbell when he’s telling the coppers that they dug up the guns is 21 (November) and then 22 later in the ep when Churchill calls him.
Which means a full week and a half passed between when Tommy and Grace slept together and when she told Tommy that she was leaving because she betrayed him. Does that not seem crazy to anyone else that that much time passed? Or am I just not suspending enough disbelief?
#Peaky blinders#Tommy Shelby#I mean it’s obviously an important enough detail for them to include the calendar in the shot#I was already surprised at how much time jumped from Tommy and Grace going to the races to when he asked her to work for him#7-8 months is a looong time#but I guess I can excuse that#but a week and a half between these two big events#that’s just weird to me#esp with how distraught Grace gets at the pub when she tells him she’s leaving#like what were you guys doing in between that time?#I’m going to go through the other s1 eps now and see if I can time stamp any other details#and yes I’m doing this for time after time lol

I love how the reason I got into Peaky Blinders/Cillian was because I told my friend I couldn't understand how people found "that actor from the Oppenheimer movie" attractive...
#look at me now#she was like#“go watch peaky blinders and we'll talk”#and then I watched peaky blinders#this perfectly adds onto the list of things i started loving only after i deeply hated them at first#a lot of things i love now just didn't feel right for me at first - fandom wise#which is weird#but whatever#cillian murphy

at this point it seems to Me like seonwoo was completely fine going on dates with other people and getting to know other people when sungho was mostly focused on him but it feels like now that sungho is showing more interest in junsung and is actively like flirting? with him seonwoo suddenly only has eyes for sungho even though he’s telling other people he wants to go on dates with them
#like that conversation in sunghos room they were talking about how they both had the idea of like you’re not my typical type etc etc#but sungho knew seonwoo wanted to try dates with other people and now that sungho is also exploring other options seonwoo is like wait no#and brings up relationships#idk again maybe it’s just my 2sung blinders but i just get weird snakey vibes from him#theo.txt#his man 2

in a cage with lions, i learned to speak lion (part 1) - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
STANDS ALONE / Part 1
Post S1-E6 and pre S2-E1. Maybe Tommy comes to apologise after the business in the car about John.
When men came saying they wanted to make sure you were alright, but what they really wanted was forgiveness for what they’d done, always wanting something for themselves.
Well, she wasn’t sweet or good or simple, and he was a cold cruel clever thing, and she wanted something for herself, too.

#My writing#peaky blinders fanfic#peaky blinders#tommy x lizzie#tommy shelby#lizzie stark#Part 2 will be what happens post Epsom race day#because why oh why did lizzie evidently just ‘show up to work the next day’ after being pimped out like that#I feel like early series tommy/lizzie isn’t hurt/comfort#but rather shame/pride#Also the s2 sex scene between them was so powerfully weird#i got strong hints of unwilling!tommy dynamic so what’s her hold#yes i know he was heading off to an assassination he didn’t want to do either#But the way he threw the money down and raised his eyebrows at her#And how desperately Lizzie was trying to pretend that very mediocre root was any good at all and that there was some kind of intimacy#when Tommy’s still out having passionate threesomes actually brought back to his bed and invested sex with other random women#And instead using lizzie as dispassionately as he possibly could#So yeah there was a major Shame Dynamic on his part specific to lizzie and i was Most Interested in a possible how and why#But also he always always always has all the power and the cards#so what that makes of an unwilling!tommy dynamic where he still actually has to be willing because otherwise it doesn’t happen#complex complex

"I guess maybe some people just have a weird relationship with fear," says Gerard Keay.
......*delicate cough* :')
#but yeah on a more serious note it seems like a lot of the human-ish avatars do genuinely just channel their Power's mindset#causing & experiencing their particular fear isn't a desire you *explain*; it just Is Good and Nourishing on a visceral level#that experiential condition is fundamentally inseparable; baked into what they are#and so it seems to me that part of what becoming an avatar *is* is giving yourself over to let that experience of consciousness become your#you may be (probably are) trending in that mental direction when you start down a Power's path - but still human#actually being remade as an avatar pushes that up to 11#(and much in the way that memory normally does - being immersed in that mindset makes you read it back into your earlier motivations too)#(one thing I particularly enjoy in this show is the role that cognitive blinders play in how the characters act and experience things)#........but yeah also some of us just have a weird relationship with fear XD#James liveblogs fiction#fearplay funtimes: the podcast#(who knows maybe some of this is contradicted later on but. that's my current theory anyway)#(mostly drawing on what we've seen & heard from Jude/Mike/Julia/Elias to an extent)

I am not trying to glorify cheating or try to excuse it....but the same people who say Tommy didn't love Lizzie as he was cheating on her with prostitutes are the same ones who say John really loved Esme despite the fact that John also does the same thing.
Atleast for Lizzie she kinda allowed it like cuz their marriage really wasn't the USUAL one but John?? Like he literally goes how he's gonna buy his PREGNANT wife a house and all as if he doesn't cheat on her like the very next episode (and what irks me the most that he literally shows off how good it was) without any visible signs of guilt.
Now, I'm not trying to excuse Tommy's behaviour and his cheating but saying John truly loved Esme despite his cheating and saying Tommy despised the very existence of Lizzie cuz he cheats...sounds like hypocrisy to me mate
P.S. no part of this is meant to say John doesn't love Esme...I believe he does...
#imma revolt if anyone brings up Tommy's behaviour in s5 cuz that had a lot of reasons and not just he doesn’t love her#John is a weird af guy... i like him but....#peaky blinders#tommy shelby#lizzie shelby#esme shelby

For real my dad is so pro england and everytime he goes english are good i want to scream because we were colonized!! By the bitches 60 years ago!! Its the fact that i have to live with him that i know 1 hundred percent-anyone from a mainland country needs to zip their fucking mouth when it comes to diaspra. Sorry for my language miss kendra but the mental ilness of these people going youre sensitive at diaspora like who are they even bootlicking too?? We kicked the white people OUT! Because they SUCKED! Get a fucking LIFE!
its honestly baffling how ppl in places that were colonized literally yesterday will go up harder for their colonizers than the people facing similar circumstances to them. ive seen so many poc with like....lineages that were CLEARLY gutted by a colonizer and then act like its a personal failing that they're poor. what? its wild esp when ppl in mainlands will spend all their time shitting on people in the diaspora and blame THEM for all the problems. ????????? every time i see a tweet from an african shitting on black americans like europe did not just decimate that whole continent i have to adjust my wig and read that again. its just weirdddd that white supremacy indoctrination is no fucking joke like you have ppl embarrassed to speak their native tongue but u wanna stan the colonizers that MADE YOU EMBARRASSED??????? like what goes on???????? i really want to understand the thought processes lol
#theres just got to be something wrong w u to go up for white ppl#and a lot of ppl wanna do that lukewarm thing where they acknowledge racism but dont wanna hold individual white ppl#responsible but even i can understand that more than the ppl who literally will be like crackers did nothing wrong#what#and in the tags of that post i reblogged ppl were talking abt how a lot of ppl who do this change their tune within the year of living in#america.....so is it just the blinders from not having to face the reality of how they are?#but thats still weird bc you think all the ppl who DO live around white ppl are fucking exaggerating??G?AG?A?G?

in general there are a lot of "fandom opinions" about the characters that are just flat out wrong. not a matter of varying interpretation, just wrong. completely disproven by actual canon.
sometimes i get worked up about them and write really lengthy stuff, sometimes i just shrug like 'nah.' i'm not in a really verbose mood today, hence my short reply, but 'tommy just thinks of lizzie as a whore and treats her that way' is one of those fandom opinions you can just say 'nah' to, because it's completely contrary to actual canon.
#which isn't to say tommy's behavior towards lizzie is always perfect because it's not#but like#this is just obviously false#and most of the time it has some weird agenda behind it anyway#peaky blinders

“He found it oddly difficult.” (Patreon)
#Doodles#TSP#The Stanley Parable#My old Narrator design is oddly Cecil Palmercore huh#I don't mind it lol ♪ Just Thinking™#These are more redraws - especially the first one but also Sin averting his eyes! I made it a scene!! Fun :)#It was already half a scene it's just a full scene now lol#Being undressed is uncomfortable! But if it makes Stanley even more uncomfortable~ Or even More something else entirely ♪♫ Haha#''Should I be looking at this'' - Stanley probably#Them being able to interact physically is also something that's kinda on the edge of impossible anyway so Doubly so!#The Narrator being visual and physical and present and touchable and there - weird and strange#The Narrator being half-naked?? What do about that???? Lol#This Narra still feels like he's missing something hmm - not having his glasses on his face is definitely Something so maybe?#Sin is rather on the fuzzy side - those sideburns hehe - but maybe Narra could benefit from a bit more facial hair too hmm hm#Oh no more experimentation drawing these two how terrible ♪#I do like how the Narrator is using his literalism - his narration and his control over Stanley's arm - to move the scene how he wants#Stanley does avert his gaze! He puts his blinders up! But there are always elements that the Narrator can override hehe#Being gentle with his controlled arm for a change just gently touching his face and turning his head to face him#The added heat of his own hand can't feel good tho haha - unless maybe he has cold hands? Poor circulation? I could see it#Then it might feel nice#Not that That's what Stanley is particularly focused on lol

You know that feeling of wanting to write a Peaky Blinder's and SCP Foundation crossover fic? That's what i'm feeling right now
#I have so many ideas#like Tommy could've seen some weird bs that was just an SCP when he was a soldier in WW1#or he could get involved in the anomalous crime world#especially during the prohibition era where the Three Portlands is likely where most people smuggled alcohol through there to sell#not to mention thaumaturgists and reality benders likely walking around whom work within gangs/criminal orgs#anomalous beings/groups could also be interested with the Shelby family to for either business#scp foundation#scp#scp fanfiction#peaky blinders#peaky blinder fanfic#thomas shelby#ao3 fanfic#fic ideas#mari's ramblings
