No wait because:

Luke meeting Fern and immediately seeing his twin sister in her — all of Leia’s strength and wit and the hairline fractures in her relentless passion for leadership. Luke making upgrades to Fern’s hoverbike and racing her through the trees before sitting with her and telling her that it’s okay to feel burdened by the weight of her expectations, to be afraid, and to trust her friends to stay loyal to her when she shows it.

Luke quietly sitting down with KB when she has to skip class again because her cybernetics are malfunctioning and asking if he could do maintenance on his own hand alongside her. Luke opening up to KB about how people always seem to forget that being a Jedi doesn’t magically erase your disabilities. Luke telling KB that no amount of Force wizardry can really make things like phantom pains and tremors go away completely and that he still needs to rely on assistive tech like she does. Luke reminding KB that few girls can calculate the odds as well as she can and cordially invites her to piss off his brother-in-law with that talent.

Luke giving Neel literally the biggest hug ever and promising him again and again that his kindness will never be a weakness, no matter how many people try to make him feel weak.

Luke letting Wim ask him a gazillion rapid-fire questions about the Jedi. Luke patiently answering every single one of them and even showing him some of the artifacts he’s found all over the galaxy before asking if he could have a copy of Wim’s bedtime stories to add to his collection. Luke teaching Wim an important lesson about being cautious about idolizing his heroes. When Wim asks who Luke’s hero was, Luke chuckles and says, “Well, let me tell you about the Hero With No Fear, who was very much afraid when I first met him.”

Kitty Song Covey is so Olivia Rodrigo coded

So I just finished XO Kitty so spoilers ahead

I really did enjoy this season. Now I wanna keep in mind for everyone that this show is basically just a soap opera and if you’ve ever watched the soap opera, you know for a fact that those couples break up and get back together so much like they changed partners more than square dancers. So I’m not putting too much stock into like the romantic and Tylleman because whatever pairing there is it’s gonna be great everybody on the cast has great chemistry and it’s written well enough that they all seem to work really well together.

Now on to the fact that we are seeing Kitty really start the healing journey and the grieving process. Because last season she was caught up in a whole thing about someone else’s life. But this season we really got to focus on her, trying to find a connection with her mom and especially that missing part of her family that she never knew about. And we got to see like the resolution of like family, feud and other stuff but clearly there is still like more trauma that Kitty needs to work through.

Now in the last episode, we saw Kitty go off with Minho off on tour or whatever which I don’t even know if her dad is going to approve of her going to do that but go off queen. I am gonna be really interested to see what happens in season three if we’re gonna be able to see what happened on tour if we’re gonna be getting flashbacks I’m hoping we get more episodes. But I’m always hoping we get more episodes. I think it’ll be interesting to see what their relationship dynamic will be because remember and keep in mind. We know very little about the romantic relationship dynamics a lot of these characters have with each other because we haven’t had a chance to sit down and explore it. So it’ll be interesting to see how they are. It’ll also be interesting to see if they even end up in a relationship we don’t know.

I do think there is a lot of issues with the queer relationships on the show, but I also think that people are forgetting that like Kitty is the main character like this is an ensemble cast, but the show literally has her name in the title. So yes, we’re not gonna see a lot of what’s going on with the other characters because we have a main character. And our main character is just in a weird place with how she feels romantically about a lot of stuff and is figuring it all out and so there’s nothing quite solid. And I mean, we don’t know what season three is gonna be I mean season three could be like anything in terms of like who Kitty is possibly gonna be dating but I also want us to keep in mind that Kitty hasn’t had a long term like mature relationship yet so we don’t know what that could look like or who it could even be with. Because who you have your first real mature relationship with it’s like a very different kind of relationship than like the relationship you have like with your high school crush

I also wanna say that since we’re like rounding up more to these kids like graduating I am wondering what their career paths are gonna be so I think we might be exploring that quite a bit in the next season because each season is a semester. And I also want to keep in mind that like the characters we see the most of are the characters that are important to the plot lines that Kitty is involved in. If a character is not in the show that much that means their plot line is not involved with Kitty’s.

That’s all to say I did really enjoy the show. I know what I’m getting into when I’m watching it. So I’m not one of the people who gets like very angry about stuff because like I know what I’m watching. I’m not like trying to get anything out of it and I think like a lot of people would be happier if they realize this is a full on soap opera and it’s a lot more fun that way

the fact that we are firmly in a time where conservatives are like "the actual founding fathers, who were slaveowners, were not racist enough for my taste" is wild

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bots, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

Even with intimacy coordinators there is still a lot of work that need to be done on sets to make sure people are comfortable

Buffy the Vampire Slayer really could have used an intimacy coordinator. Someone specifically there to ensure during those intimacy scenes, the actors/actresses were safe and comfortable.

Idk if they were a thing 20ish years ago but damn.

This is the only Buffy remake I will accept

Muppet version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy is played by Miss Piggy. Angel is Kermit. Xander is Fozzie. Giles and Ethan are the old guys at the theater. Spike is the one human character and still played by James Marsters

There are a couple of things about current shipping culture that confuse me.  

1. The focus on whether or not a pairing will become canon as a reason people should ship something or not.  Do you not understand what the “transformative” part of “transformative works” means?”

2. This idea that saying “I ship that” means “I think that, as presented in canon,this is a perfect, healthy relationship that everyone should model their relationship after.” 

Sometimes shipping something does mean that.  Sometimes shipping something means “Person A is a trash bag who doesn’t deserve person B but I would love to explore how Person A might grow to deserve Person B.” Sometimes it means “I want these characters to live together forever in a conflict free domestic AU.”  Sometimes it means “I want Person A to forever pine after Person B.  Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.”  And sometimes it just means you like their faces and want to see Person A and Person B bone in various configurations and universes.

"I obviously looked up to Jacob my whole life. He was so smart. I realized I could never be as smart as he was, so I put my brain into my muscles and became a jock and a drone pilot but Jacob's honestly the most fearless person I've ever met. He never cared what anyone else thought about him and always knew exactly who he was. He actually went to prom by himself. He had no date. Got himself a sick corsage and everything and just strolled in solo..." #this show nailed it with the casting of jacob's brother ABBOTT ELEMENTARY (4x07 | 4x08)
