Ok Iâm being so brave about it but a couple of days ago I saw this post claiming that the Jedi saying âthis weapon [your lightsaber] is your lifeâ is emblematic of âthe Jediâs failure as peacekeepersâ (not an exact quote but pretty close) because why would a weapon be the life of a peacekeeper?
And like. The Jedi are a culture. Theyâre a religion.
You know that, right? You know that many cultures, including generally peaceful ones, have sacred weapons, right? You know that the bond between a Jedi and their crystal(s) is an extremely sacred thing that requires the consent of both parties and is integral to their way of life, right?
You know that lightsabers are not intended to be only for killing, right? That the first thing Luke learns to do with his lightsaber is to shield and defend? You know that a culture having sacred weapons doesnât mean that they view killing as sacred, right?
Not trying to start shit, I donât even remember who said it, but ugh
#the damage the Acolyte (âi know a Jedi wouldnât draw their lightsaber unless theyâre willing to killâ) has done to Star Wars is incalculable#hey guys long time no post#I am sorry about that Septemberâs been⌠really shit#hope to get back into my rewatch and stuff next week?#is this the original post tag#Jedi order#star wars#lightsabers

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: another from Buda Castle. In this shot war damage from 1945 is clearly evident. Possibly the impact from RPG.

Have you seen my little lad?
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jin zixun#Everytime I have to write his name I feel like I'm running outside in a blood rain trying not to get wet. Misspelling it feels so inevitabl#But so far so good! He doesn't have too many more appearances before he gets Cheesed.#Dear god I love it when characters go on the war path for someone they care about.#And I love it even more when you have an ambiguity between personal debt and genuine act of selflessness.#WWX saving WN is purposefully messy! Like a lot of our real life reasons for how we act - there isn't a clear single cause or answer.#Sometimes we forget that we are a collection of experiences and learnt reactions.#Sometimes we forget that what we see on the surface is not the point to address. Everyone is more complex than we think. Even yourself.#And yet...it always comes back to love doesn't it? Attachment styles and self-esteem and bonds and relationships to others.#Everything comes back to love and our perceptions of it.#WWX is on a self-destructive war path and he will absorb as much damage as he can for those he feels obligated and attached to.#Does it make him feel needed? Does it give him purpose? Does it ease anxieties of the past? I do not think there is an answer.

i bring a sort of "the jedi lost the second they went to war using a slave army" vibe to "the jedi wouldve won the war and things would've been perfect if this one dude hadn't fucked it up" posts that jedi discourse bloggers don't really like
#hm i wonder what a franchise heavily inspired by an unwinnable war that a major power only entered out of sheer hubris#and which caused unfathomable damage before ending embarrassingly for said major power#might be saying by having the jedi fight for years in an unwinnable war that goes against their principles#and results in them being betrayed by their own tools of destruction#probably nothing major . now back to questioning why the former child slave couldn't suck it up and be normal#star wars

so sick and tired of the âjedi are an evil and abusive cult that steals childrenâ as if half the reason they werenât protecting these children is bc sith were out killing them or TURNING THEM INTO SITH. they werenât even STEALING children to begin with I thought we all knew that was Palpatineâs game not Yodaâs.
#i hate star wars fans i truly do#they wanna pick apart the jedi like of course there are mistakes and wrong doings#bUT THE SITH ARE RIGHT THERE#trying to build the narrative that anakin was abused by the jedi is absolutely crazy when his actions and thoughts were all his own#and GROOMED by palpatine#the only reason people want to pin them as bad people is because yoda could call out anakinâs bad behavior#that and they didnt promote him to master right away because oh im the chosen one i should be#like you need to PROVE you are the chosen one and that you WILL bring balance to the force and NOT DESTROY IT#THATS FHE WHOLE PROPHECY#AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY THEY WERE CAREFUL WITH ANAKIN???#and then the oh well they make you supress feelings#nO#THEY#DONT#they make you surpress attachments so that if it comes DOWN to it you will save the many and not just risk it all to save the ONE#disney has done damage to the star wars community i swear#saw a tik tok comment section where they said the council is like the christian church#lost my MIND#well the jedi fit cult criteria!!#wow! star wars fans find out WHAT A GROUP OF RELIGION IS#LITERALLY ANY GROUP OF RELIGION CAN BE CALLED A CULT NOT EVERY CULT IS BAD#im sorry i cant stand it anymore#star wars#star wars tcw#auxxrat yap#jedi council#jedi#star wars legends

height ahh difference
#team fortress 2#tf2#science party#red oktoberfest#tf2 medic#tf2 heavy#tf2 engineer#this one's a bit fruity on purpose ahem#alternative title is âGravel war field medic stands way too close to his patients and dies while taking all the collateral damageâ#jokes aside I have been thinking about how medic is tall and if he were to stand really close to engie he'd be looking down onto him#for some reason I just like the idea of him doing that; hands in his pockets; staring at one specific part in engie's face but not his eyes#meanwhile for heavy he has to look up#Hallo mein GroĂer; wenn ich darf? And just zooms into his face but in a sultry way#put the back of your hand against his chest so it feels like you want to avoid actively touching him but very much do it on purpose#It's like neck and shoulder stretch exercises for medic; ââââ#Haha gotcha this was going to be another joke after all#đ#This was the last thing I wanted to draw before work gets super busy again

bored, have some of my favorite animorphs quotes
#These kids need psychiatric help#Unfortunately theyâre also really funny#I have a whole collection of screenshots in my phone#Plus I feel that a lot of animorphs posts talk about how dark and insightful it is#Which is true#but it loses the fact that itâs also about six kids who donât know what theyâre doing#And that these books#While having deep takes on the trauma and damage caused by war#Is also a childrenâs series#P-15e#animorphs#jake animorphs#cassie animorphs#rachel animorphs#marco animorphs#aximili esgarrouth isthill#ax animorphs#tobias animorphs
