Stumbled upon your master list of SW meta you wrote, and enjoyed reading through some of them, especially the ones that examined and defended the jedi order. I point to the jedi order in particular because when you pointed out that the number of jedi in the galaxy are proportionally smaller compared to a planet with a population in the trillions, it reminded me of a bad take regarding the order (which is conflated with the whole "the jedi are actually the bad guys" in SW): that the jedi are eugenicists because their adoption of force sensitive children. This never sat right with me given that the jedi never seemed the type to be concerned with propagating their numbers in some form of "purity" (genetic or force sensitivity wise). Any chance you can gleam into the nitty-gritty of this take's unsavory implications?

OOf, that's an old ask, and that reminds me that I really need to update that masterlist 😅 (and me saying that is an even older draft, oops 😂)

Okay, the idea of the Jedi being *eugenicists* is SO out of left field that I feel like it doesn't even deserve to be really addressed so much as mocked, because words mean things.

To be quite fair, I don't think I've ever seen anybody seriously use that word. (It may very well have happened tho, I just can't remember somebody seriously making the claim and sticking to it.) Even the infamous KT rant (see below) doesn't call them that - the extremely weird and frankly absurd take is that they embody supremacist ideas and that people who are into them believe there is such a thing as an inherently superior person. She does use the word "Nazi" (just wow), but I don't think she was going for the eugenics part, just the run of the mill white supremacy theories. People on both sides of the argument may have misquoted/misinterpreted her on that though.

(Seriously woman, why were you even writing for Star Wars?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN LIKE IT!)

Now, eugenics? (This post is so weird to write, I can't even) ⇊

It is LAUGHABLE to use it in relation to the Jedi Order, because as you accurately put it, the Jedi just aren't interested in... making babies.

Do they force their members to procreate, even artificially? Absolutely not.

Are they seeking to improve the Order by only taking in the healthiest, strongest, most powerful children? No. They were ready to reject Anakin, for one thing.

Are they studying how to arrange reproduction in the rest of the galactic population? No.

Is there a ban on non-Jedi Force sensitives having children of their own? No. Are they forced or even strongly encouraged to have children of their own? No.

Do Jedi control who Force-sensitives are allowed to have children with? No.

Do Jedi test for Force-sensitivity and keep records of it? Yes. But they don't seem to keep genealogies - there's nothing that says the list in the Holocron is a permanent one either - rather, the way it's phrased and the way there's only babies on it, names are probably erased eventually. And the purpose of the list has nothing to do with increasing the occurence of Force-sensitivity.

Are non-Jedi Force sensitives forced by law to give up their kids? No.

Do Jedi automatically take in Force-sensitive children anyway? No. Bardotta and Dathomir are right there and nobody's bothering them.

Is the Order ableist? No. We even see plenty of disabled Jedi and nobody is throwing them out. (Amputees like Anakin and elderly people like Yoda and Tera Sinube, for starters. Also Prosset Dibs, or Tahl in Legends).

The Force isn't even proven to be reliably 'transmissible' from one generation to the next - the Force 'being strong' in particular families may just as easily be for more spiritual reasons depending on how you want to look at it. Because, you know, Star Wars isn't all literal.

IT'S JUST SO DUMB.

NOTHING ABOUT HOW THE ORDER WORKS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.

(I'm sorry I'm not dissing you for the ask I just don't get how anybody could ever have said that 😂😭)

Jeez the s4 finale sounds rough. Now I have to wonder how the entire story could have been improved/salvaged? If I didn't have fun riffing on this series with my siblings, I'd have dropped ML by now. Just... oof

Honestly I think it got the order of events all wrong and could’ve been done well if it had been planned out long beforehand, like having Hawky get the miraculouses in the S3 finale instead of S4, and if they skipped the Chat drama cuz that was supposedly resolved in Kuro Neko, not invalidated Marinette’s efforts to rely on others just bc it wasn’t on Chat, made Lila’s presence matter for anything other than making Marinette’s friends doubt her, etc.

Does it ever bother you when people act like Steven Universe is somehow the new standard of “how cartoons treat their antagonists” when it is literally the only show that doesn’t treat good and evil as absolutes?

Yeah.

I remember seeing a post about Ironwood's characterization in the previous volumes in contrast to how he was in Volume 8, but I do not remember who made the post. I want to say it was one of your posts, or a post from a mutual. Any chance you can recall the post?

Hmm... tough question. Mostly because I’ve been talking about Ironwood’s characterization a great deal the last two years (lol), mostly through answering asks that I don’t organize onto my meta page. Recently I answered an ask about the group’s characterization in Volume 7 and how that reflects back on Ironwood’s characterization, and a while back I made a PowerPoint looking at his Volume 1-6 characterization... but honestly, I’m not sure which post this might be. If it was even mine to begin with. 

If it feels like the post wasn’t from too long ago, I’d recommend checking out @why-i-hate-rwby-now. They’ve written numerous metas on the subject, reblogged a number of my posts, as well as those who have also been critical of RWBY in recent years. So it’s a good repository of like-minded material. You might find it somewhere there :)

Pharah from Overwatch

Sexuality Headcanon: Bi Gender Headcanon: Cis A ship I have with said character: Phamercy is one I’ve had sometimes. A BROTP I have with said character: Brigitte, Overwatch 2nd gen brats! A NOTP I have with said character: No one really. A random headcanon:  Still idolizes what Overwatch used to be. General Opinion over said character: I loved her concept, but once Ana came around she became MUCH better. Like, how many mother-daughter bonds there are in games? Of POC characters? With both playable characters?

Shipping asks 1, 2, 7, and 18?

1. What was your first OTP? 

My veryvery first OTP was probably like. Sango/Miroku from InuYasha :D In CR it was definitely Beau/Yasha. They talked for like two seconds and I was a goner.

2. What is your current OTP? 

I can never decide. I love BeauYasha, CalebMolly, BeauJester, EssikCaleb ... I just have a whole army of OTPs :‘D (Other things I have feelings for atm are mostly my own OCs shipped with OCs of my friends and boyfriend ^^)

7. Are most of your ships “pure” or “problematic”? 

I don’t like today’s weird shipping discourse. I like what I like. My stuff is “unproblematic” in the sense that I don’t ship incest, abusive stuff or adults/minors. I wouldn’t call my ships “pure” either. But I do enjoy healthy relationships above all else!

18. What is your favorite unpopular ship?

It was nice and slow and we gave each other time to pull away if need be, then when the kiss happen it was just wow y’know? it felt amazing and we started dating shortly after and have been together ever since.

What song/band/musician name would you use as your Stand's name?

 my brain defaults to TOXIC and I could poison people with a kiss ..... or maybe my stand gives them the kiss so to normal viewers it just looks like they drop dead 

or INVINCIBLE and I can electrocute anybody who touches me and create electric barriers to protect my friends..... they finally came to destroy the earth / they’ll have to get through you first. 

IDk, I’m not super creative! Those are just the first two that come to mind
