you know. probably part of the reason filoni kept saying that you don’t have to watch rebels to understand the ahsoka show is bc he knew that if people watched rebels they would realize it’s so much better than the ahsoka show
#like the writing is just SO dull and choppy#rebels is just so much better#i am not burning with hatred for the ahsoka series but I’m also nowhere close to loving it as much as rebels (or tcw)#everybody this is your reminder to do yourselves a favor and go watch rebels!#ahsoka series#swr#ashowka negativity#filoni critical

Another ALNST friday i forgot about because I was too busy *raking fingers down my face*
ANYWAY FUCK MY LIFE
#ive always loved how the alnst casts eyes can be boiled down to kiki bouba#the rebels (mizi ivan till) have sharper eyes#longer lashes. more spiky in appearance. usually smaller irises and brightly colored#while the golden child trio (i have no better names for these dont mind me i just think they're funny)#of luka ivan sua#have rounded eyes#no long tapering lashes at the end but little lashes casting down on their much fuller yet duller eyes#i think its wonderful how much can be communicated from the shape of their eyes. sharp and branching out. rounded and often half closed.#theres so much similarity between them#yet they're all so unique#alnst#alien stage#alnst official#official art

Hera's relationship with Apollo is something that should be studied, in this essay I-
#like imagine the hatred at his birth#another bastard of her husband#and then the grudging respect when he kills python#not because its python but because he avenged his mother's assault#and maybe she wishes someone would avenge HER assault#and when hes exiled she just the tiniest bit admires artemis' strength#how she is so firm about her virginity and how shes a protector of women#so she wont like apollo when he comes back but she might not hate him#and then when he's given his domains and he so much better than her sons and so much more of zeus' favourite she HATEs him#(she wishes he were hers)#but when she decides to rebel against zeus hes one of the only gods that join her.#of course they fail but thats got to unite them somehow#right?#and then when he storms olympus after Asclepius dies (is murdered)#when he kills the elder cyclopes as a deliberate jab at zeus#not even caring about the consequences#well shes got to respect that#and they might drift apart after the trojan war#being on opposite sides and all#but i like to think she views him more than just her husbands bastard#hera#hera goddess#apollo#apollo greek god#greek mythology

ok so like i’ve seen a few posts blaming mira and ephraim for what happened to ezra and i think that is. a weird take. anyway my personally belief is that tzeebo wasn’t their only plan for ezra if they were taken because they feel like the kind of people to have a network of allies if the goddamn governer of lothal was their friend. i also imagine that they weren’t the only people taken by the empire that night or afterwards, because i feel like it’s implied that they weren’t the only people speaking out against the empire? so like, they probably had a network of people to take care of ezra if something happened but that network dissolved due to arrests, people fleeing, etc etc until there was no way for anyone to find ezra or for ezra to find anyone else and then he was on his own and it was no one’s fault but the empire.
#star wars rebels#star wars#ezra bridger#people villainizing mira and ephraim are so weird 2 me#i don’t really know how to explain why i hate it so much but it’s just. something#maybe because it’s kind of victim blaming i guess? or saying like ‘speaking out is only okay if you’re the perfect voice for it’#which is funny because that is. exactly the opposite of what their broadcasts were about#anyway#also irl i think a lot of activists ARE parents. from what my own parents have said. having kids does change your perspective on the future#like yeah of course they spoke out. their kid was born on the day the empire took over and they watched the galaxy fall to even more shit.#they spoke out because they wanted things to be better for him and it’s not their fault that things went wrong

Remember that Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes fanmade trailer I made as my final school project???? Well, apparently people over at Nerdy Pup Games liked it enough to COMMISSION ME FOR AN ANIMATION FOR THEIR NEW PROJECT.
It's called Super Squad High, it's a boardgame about teenage superheroes and I DID THE TRAILER OPENING FOR IT!! :DD
✨>YOU CAN WATCH IT HERE<✨
#animation#board games#my animation#commission#animation commission#HOW IS THAT A REAL THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME#nerdy pup games#super squad high#i had my eye on this game since the Rebels trailer bc the art IS STUNNING and very much my vibe#teenage superheroes in general are literally the cornerstore of my artistic interests#so to say that this is a DREAM commission is an UNDERSTATEMENT#WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED#now i need to actually learn basics of animation instead of being forever chased by deadlines and just making things up as i go#BUT I LEARNED A TON DURING THIS#CAN YOU SEE?? how much better this is than the Rebels one?????#still too fast bc i want to cram EVERYTHING in the very thight time limit i had BUT!!!!!#im beginning to see some animation potential in myself xD#ALSO BIGGEST THX TO BRATNIA DUSZA WHO HELPED ME OUT A TON DURING THIS!! would not have met the deadline if it wasnt for her THOUSAND THANKS

I usually don't post about The Bad Batch, but here's at least one post about it: I will be SO IMPRESSED if they actually keep Tech dead!
One of the main sticking points I had with the entire concept of the show and the 'reject clones' (ugh I hate that they're called that and I WILL NOT call them anything to do with 99, they don't deserve it) was that they undercut everything I found interesting about the clones. The idea that everyone has been created to be the same, yet they still clawed for their own identities within the sterile and controlled ranks, they were just normal guys - no special powers up against those with the force and machines of war, they followed orders - even when they knew it would lead to tragedy or wasn't what they thought was right they still had to do what they were told, the fact that they failed - a lot, and one of the biggest things: they DIED.
They were literally created to be cannon fodder to DIE and be replaced by the exact same model time and time and time again. We would get to know a new group of clones for ONE episode, but when they died, we still felt it - though they were created to be red shirts to die and non one to think about them again, the writers of the Clone Wars showed that they mattered - each and every one of them. That they still clung to individuality and companionship with one another even though they knew they were destined to die in this war and be replaced without a second thought.
The Bad Batch flew in the face of this: they were a group of superheroes we were supposed to feel bad for? They didn't follow anyone's orders, no one had ever died from their group, and they looked down on 'regs' as less than them. And of course, they were resistant to the chips in their brains because they're just so special.
So, if they actually keep Tech dead, it would be such a ballsy move that would turn the tone of the show on it's head. Suddenly, the Bad Batch would no longer have plot armor, they'd be just like any other clones (I mean, not really, but closer than they ever had been before).
I'm pretty sure they'll reveal he was saved by the empire and experimented on a la the special assassin units they just introduced (or like Echo), but if they actually stick with it, I'll have so much respect for the show.
#tbb#the bad batch#the bad batch spoilers#tbb critical#i suppose this is more critical of the concept as a whole#I've actually liked the stories they've told and the tone they take better than rebels#I've just had to ignore the base premise that I so strongly dislike and just 'accept' it and judge what they're doing with the story itself#which has actually led to me really liking it#The fact that they've kept it much more 'small scale' with the goal not being to take down the empire but rather just help (1) person helpe

i was so set on replaying veilguard for the davrinmance but oh my god im SO attached to my agent-of-fenharel hardingmancer rn i actually think the choice is out of my hands lol
#oc: evander#datv#tay plays datv#datv spoilers#deia's brother btw !!!! very much giving anders vibes if anders was kind of deadbeat oldest son who frequents the club#him having sold out the inquisition on solas's instruction and then falling for one of the scouts who was hurt the most by it#very much a mirror to solavellan except theyre literally just people and ultimately victims of their leader's organizations overarching war#and harding being sympathetic to solas enough to reach evanders conscience even during Peak radicalization#but holding solas accountable enough to potentially sway evanders mind#and then evander learning the truth about solas but also specifically what that means for harding the person hes grown to love#having to reconcile that his own rebel-fantasy is not more important than the very real pain his loved ones have gone thru as a result#and like figuring out what going forward looks like. is he STILL sympathetic but its tempered? or does he go full anti-solas in an act of#redemption which would also probably involve him telling harding to embrace her anger and not her loving side?? which is kind of the invers#of his own arc.#GOD.#AND THEN ITS LIKE. DO I KILL OFF HARDING AT THE END???? THAT WOULD BE SOOOOO CRAZY FOR THE *STORY*#i think she has to live actually bc i hate the fridged wife trope and solas Is ultimately redeemed in this worldstate#and if harding died bc of solas (and evanders varricmancer sister also lost varric) evander WOULD be team kill immediately no exceptions#but still food for thought#god. chat i am fucking COOKING today this is crazy#hes not technically my rook bc he works way better in the story as a ~companion~ to deia (his sister) the actual protag#but both he and matthas (the other pro-inquisition brother) could arguably have been the Rook as well.#all 3 of the mercar siblings were AT the ritual but for different reasons (evander to aid solas. matthas to kill solas. deia to stop him)#so MAYBE I WILL romance harding instead this time...... how are we feeling abt hardings romance babes is it good. do we recommend

i know the end of pena.cony was supposed to symbolise the end of the story of the original trailblazers but like, the fact that the latest quest had mic.ah (mikh.ails descendant), boothi.ll (galaxy ran.ger) and mar.ch (trailblazer) come tg was so symbolic - for a moment it really did feel like the ending mikha.il would have imagined in the end, waiting for those 100's of years in the hope that his friends would return once more.
#❛ ♡ › jupiter : 𝐨𝐨𝐜.#when you include rob.in you include his og wish for the fami.ly to join them but alas. even she was there to rebel ....#when they brought us back to dreamflux i was cheering but also had to double check the bananas hadnt disrespected mikh.ails space#( it didnt but i cant stop cryin bc theyre just leaving his dead body up there?? like ok i like seeing mikhai.l but pls ... just remove the#body and leave the bubble sittin on the chair by itself ... pls-)#mikha.il and tiern.an were destined to come back to one another. again and again and again-#the memoria being a massive point of the background of the scene. they wanted raza.lina back just as much.#I DID FINISH THE QUEST TONIGHT AND HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONS#1. i rlly. rlly love mr re.ca omg chat this is bad ... i said no more muses so i need to stay strong but ... mr re.ca :(#2. rob.in ???? can we talk about her scene for a sec and the recognition to that part of her storyline.#3. ra.ppas background killed me. some aeon out there pls take all her pain x100000 and give to dr primit.ive bc my god ...#mikh.ail fans were fed in this (delusional)#clockie was better anyway <3#spoilers /

never forget what t*b*b took from you (kanan’s comics canon order 66 scene)
#re-looking at some panels (for writing purposes)#and it’s just SO MUCH BETTER#i usually forget that t*b*b exists#and those versions of depa and caleb are not canon to me#but unfortunately to wider audiences that holds higher canon weight than the comics :/#which is a fucking shame bc the kanan comics are everything#kanan jarrus#kanan the last padawan#swr#star wars rebels

How?
Alright, there's been many theories and ideas for Prime. There have been many questions thrown about, but one I haven't seen is one very important question. A question that leaves me thinking for days, a question that I rack my goddamn brain for answers:
How the HELL did Nine know that Sonic was in New Yolk and in trouble?!
Like the rebels and Sonic were about to have their hides skinned until this mofo pulls up in his OWN GODDAMN SHIP? What?!
Bro really said "get in loser, we're starting a new life" and then just fucking dips when Sonic jumps in XD
Prime writers, we better get a WHOLE Nine episode explaining wtf this was about.
...
...Also...
...
Also, we need more Nine...
#more sonic prime!#sonic prime spoilers#sonic prime#nine sonic prime#tails nine#nine needs a hug#nine deserves to win no matter what#nine deserves to win#nine is awesome#i love him so much#i love this show so much#this better not get cancelled#sonic prime nine#oh nine...#miles nine prower#sonic fandom#wtf was that#this fox just dipped#giving a middle finger to the rebels#crack

I got a refurb canon rebel t7 as a wedding gift last year and have several good lenses (Tamron something for landscape, and a canon 55-250 mm for zooms) both of which are second hand from camera shops, but I was wondering what exactly do you recommend for a birding setup? Preferably dedicated amateur-friendly, and not national geographic level! Also I'm limited to the t7 for at least a while. The 55-250 is blurry at max zoom but I can get decent pictures with good lighting and a stationary subject and I wonder if better lens will help. Thank you!
Hi! I'm gonna be honest, 85% of my wildlife photos on this blog were taken with my Canon Rebel T6i and a Canon 55-250mm. It is not a professional level lens but it is extremely versatile and was my go-to for years and years. I would highly recommend it as a budget lens for pretty much everything!
I would personally stay away from the Canon 75-300mm. It's a decent lens but you get a lot of distortion and I found the image stabilizer lacking. I used my 55-250mm much more than my 75-300mm.
My current set up is a refurbished Canon 7D, which I really like so far, and a Sigma 150-600mm. You can definitely get better lenses (and better cameras) but for where I'm at in terms of skill, usage, and budget, it's pretty much perfect. I'm really excited to get out more this year now that I have a really solid set up!
#a note that most of my non wildlife photos on this blog are taken with my sony set up#i have only just started using the sigma 150-600 this spring#so most of my photos on this blog were taken with my 55-250 and cropped#im not sure what youre looking for in terms of budget#but most cities have facebook groups for selling and buying used lenses and gear#so take a look there if youre interested!#and a note that the canon rebels with an i at the end (t6i t5i t7i etc)#tend to have much better image stabilization than the ones without an i#if youre mostly photographing at full zoom without a tripod#imo its worth 'downgrading' to a t6i or t5i just because your photos will be less blurry#your mileage may vary of course#ive only used like 4 cameras in my whole life#but im soooooo excited to use my new to me canon and my big lens more#my wildlife tag is#find me where the wild things are#if you want to see some examples

I am staring DIRECTLY at Film Reroll Luke Skywalker watching and anticipating his next move
#film reroll#the film reroll#Tim Nolan you played him so well!!!!#I don’t think this will happen but this version of Luke is one I can kinda see turning to the dark side??#like think about it. your aunt and uncle are killed. Ben Kenobi tells you it’ll be alright though and that you have the force in you#you can come with him and train to be a Jedi just like your father was#you leave planet and on the way have to put up with this asshole smuggler and even free a serial killer just to get to the rebels#but it’s fine! because once you’re with the rebels you’ll then be able to train with Ben like he’s promised#except you get there and there are two other Jedi candidates. each seemingly better options than you#one is a child who already has pretty good control of the force without anyone telling her how to wield it.#she’s also young and thus full of so much more potential than you#and the other is a woman older than you. but she has so much more life experience. she’s proven herself worthy both to the rebels#and to the force itself. she is strong and basically everything you’re not#but that’s alright too because Ben knows you. of course he’s going to pick to train you!! but then they say your name Skywalker with horror#and you are told about who your father is and how if you are trained and given everything you want you will become just like him#you are evil and violent by nature even though you feel as if you are anything but… except maybe they’re right#because when confronted with this fact your first instinct was to attack an injured man on death’s door#and if Kenobi has his time taken up by training either kahki or Jyn/planning the destruction of the Death Star#Luke is potentially left in a very vulnerable state to stew#I just am foaming at the mouth thinking about it!!!!#(I do feel like Andy will ultimately take Luke in a more redemption/I am not my father by ‘righteous’ sacrifice’ route though#which also has a lot of potential to be delicious)

The Ahsoka show might be great. It might suck. It might just be mid. Either way I’m glad Rebels is gonna be essential viewing (I mean more than it already is) and the normies will no longer have any excuse to blatantly ignore it just cause they assume it’s Too Kiddy because of the art style. I had to deal with people saying Solo was the first time the Imperial March was established as the Empire’s in-universe national anthem. I had to deal with people saying Fallen Order was the first time a Jedi knighting ceremony was shown in canon. I had to deal with people watching Clone Wars season 7 and thinking Ursa was the Armorer cause they didn’t take five seconds to read the end credits. I had to deal with people who didn’t watch Clone Wars OR Rebels talking about Mandalore stuff and thinking they know more than me cause they skimmed a Wookieepedia article. I had to deal with people saying the Obi-Wan show should’ve been about Maul hunting down Obi-Wan as if it wasn’t a story that had already been told 5 years prior. No more. At long last I shall be free.
#that fifth example in particular pissed me off so much#like i remember seeing rumors that maul was originally considered to be in the obi-wan show#and that filoni was the one who suggested they use the inquisitors instead#which as far i can tell all that was just rumors with no hard confirmation#but anyway someone made a post about it that was like ''oh OF COURSE filoni suggested they use a character from a filoni show''#and i mean say what you will about dave showing favoritism towards his characters#but you REALLY think it was a bad call to feature the jedi hunters instead? in the show about a surviving jedi?#you REALLY gonna tell me it would've been better if they dismissed an entire season's worth of plot development from rebels?#yeeeaah no. fuck off.#and the mandalore thing is the second most annoying of these#like at least half of the worst takes about the mandalorian are from people who never watched clone wars or rebels#and think reading fandom wikis is a substitute for actually experiencing the story and makes them an expert#i'm not saying everyone's obligated to watch them. just don't act like you know more than me when you don't. bitch.#the first three examples aren't nearly as annoying it's just about the principle#shut up tristan

really @ people complaining about the makeup for thrawn, really what did you expect? i mean, stop presenting us with animation or fanarts, to show us what could have (or should've according to y'all) realistically been done in live action for thrawn. the truth is that he's a blue guy with red eyes, the end.
#star wars#tv ahsoka#tv ahsoka spoilers#tv ahsoka lb#like even rebels made him kinda different#but before that he was JUST A BLUE GUY WITH RED EYES#so ofc it looks jarring in live action#but really it's so easy to use fanarts that play with light and are fixed images to justify hating on a makeup that basically can't do much#more than adapting to the actor's face ffs#anyway#as always people need to complain *shrugs*#there was NO ONE ELSE than lars mikkelsen that could have played thrawn#i'll take lars' voice over any whatever better appearence people believe he should have#lars IS the moment like he IS the thrawn power house
