This must be that guy who was rude on the phone. What was it again? Man- Monn- Whatever, that jerk.

Lucifer: Well, you've got that done now, and it seems the idiot has arrived as well.

Mammon: HEY! Just who do you think you are, human? You've got a lotta nerve summoning the Great Mammon!

Mammon: Listen up, because I'm only gonna say this once. If you value your life, then you'll hand over all of your money now! And anything else of value, too!

CHOOSE:

What, are we in grade school?

And who the hell do you think you are?

So much for hello...

Ready for a dive into prequels lore?

The guy at the top of the post is a Jedi by the name of Voolvif Monn. During the production of the 2003 Clone Wars animated series (the one before the later series headed by Dave Filoni), there was a poll among fans to choose a cool new Jedi who would feature in the show. This was extra cool because each of the potential Jedi was from a race hardly (if at all) seen outside of their first appearance: the packed cantina scene in A New Hope. The choices were between our boy Voolvif, an Ithorian named Roron Corobb...

I wanna shake your hand!

And a Talz named Foul Moudama...

Uranian culture.

You know who won the fan contest? Voolvif Monn! But here's where things get interesting: Mr. Fursona, despite winning the contest, only showed up in the series for less than a minute! It's obvious the writers didn't really know what to do with him at that point in time, so some might say he was done a little bit of a disservice. But his two competitors, Corobb and Moudama (much more challenging but certainly ambitious fursonas), ended up appearing in the show anyway!

For those who have seen the series, you'll recognize the two runners-up from the latter part of the show's run which covered the assault on Coruscant and the abduction of Palpatine. They were on screen for easily ten times the amount of frames that Monn got and showed off a lot more cool tricks.

And you might be saying "well that's interesting but what was the point of reading this? Is there a moral to this story of what?" The point is: Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama weren't chosen first but they excelled once they got the chance to shine. Voolvif may have been the choice of that Cartoon Network poll, but that did nothing to extract from the value of the two runners-up.

We've all been picked anything but first at one point or another, but we weren't worth second place or third or last. None of us were. Devaluing others or ourselves is an arbitrary choice, not an objective one, same as any contest. We all do our best and we all deserve love. You deserve love. Even Voolvif Monn, who got chosen first but wasn't quite the right fit at the time, left an enduring impact on tens of thousands of fans with just a minute in the spotlight. Choosing him first over the others was arbitrary but his worth is immeasurable, as were the others. As are you.

General Dislikes: The Senate, Certain other Jedi (cough, krell, cough mundi), In-fighting in the Temple (more work for her), people poking too deep into her personal buisness, people talking shit about her former Master, people thinking that she’s useless because of her blindness, animal abuse

Fun Fact: It’s a horrible habbit, but she will drink anything that Syo or Ashe put down in front of her. Syo likes giving her random drinks when they’re all at 79s to see what her reaction will be. They’ve learned that she really hates anything that Thire drinks about sixty percent of the time.

Free Space/Ramble: She states that if she could she would like to write more, but as it’s very difficult for her to see text on a screen with her Force Sight, she has since given up on the idea. Sometimes though, Ashe writes down what she says while talking about story ideas with the rest of the Guard

Tagging! @crc-the11tailed @crclocalunhingedsith @hotshot9 @kkrazy256

Supergirl is a shitshow

supergirl season 1 was amazing that is a fact, ti had amazing relationships between female characters it had great background character s and story lines that did not completely revolve around a guy  *mon-el*

Season 2 though that was when it started to fall apart, first they broke up a healthy interracial couple *Karolsen* they had built it up during season 1 and even though it did have its problems it was always handled in a healthy manor rather than the way they shower romance in season 2 when Monn-el would get mad and then get forgiven with out working through the issue completely  he would promise to listen to her and then proceed to act the same as he had before

Season 2 started out by introducing to us some great characters like Lena luthor and a few episodes later Maggie Sawyer but neither of those characters got the true focus  Kara was, that was until they had Mon-el wake up then he became the focus of the episode he became the focus of the season rather than having it focus on Kara’s character growth we were forced to watch mon-el’s character growth, There was no real growth in Kara that season.  

It became Kara’s job to make Mon-el a decent person, she made him change while dating him, while a better course of action would have been for him to be a good person before dating her. Even the episodes like medusa and others that had been set up to focus on Lena and Kara’s parents and their hand in the virus it ended up focusing on mon-el at the end

We saw  an unnecessary amount of screen time taken up by Mon-el even in episodes that were supposed to have more Sanvers Mon-el and Kara too up that time, they chose to use sanvers as a way to prop up Karamel rather than to have it bee an amazing lgbt ship that did not need to be compared to the straight ship on the show

Everyone seemed to forget that the hero of the show was Kara, it became the Mon-e show even at the end when they sent him off it ended not talking about friendship or Kara’s growth or her becoming a better hero it was about how they saw mon-el as a hero and how he was everything to Kara (I;m not saying that she had no right to feel sad she completely did) they decided to end with kara alone rather than have her with family and friends in season 2 they completely forgot about w what el myrah means STRONGER TOGETHER

the whole season alienated Kara from her family and her friends it left her with very few people who were consistently with her, James and Winn were being the guardian duo and Alex was ooc forgetting about her sister and instead focusing more on her relationship ( not saying that sanvers is not important it is extremely important) Mon-el became the only person who’s opinion seemed to matter at many times , they turned the episode which should have been focused completely on the danvers sisters into having mon el be the hero make him be the one to realize Jerimiah was working with cadmus

supergirl became the mon-el show and the mon-el show was a shitshow that did not have any character growth except for Mon-els it forgot about the arcs for the other characters anad focused o karamel more than anythinig else the main plot was romance in an action show where the main plot should have been the big villain  EVEN THE BIG VILLAIN WAS NOT KARA’S VILLAIN NO IT WAS MON-ELS VILLAIN  it revolved around Mon-el and his importance not spergirl or any other characters

*spoilers for season 3 ep 1*

we opened on season 3 and it was 6 months after when Mon-el had left the very first seen we saw was a karamel scene and then we see alura after that the episode goes on to be about Kara missing Mon-el it focuses on how after he left she apparently lost all reason to be herself to be anything but supergirl which she said in season 1 is not who she is it is just a costume that she puts on to help people to save lives and she loves that but it is not her. EVEN WHEN HE WASN’T THERE HE WAS A FOCUS OF ATTENTION it was not focused on how the city was recovering or how their friendship had  grown but it was focused on Mon-el going away
