Just wanted to post that asexuals in general are awesome, valid, and LGBT+. There is nothing wrong with having no interest in sex. You’re just different, and it’s ok to be different.

Bao-Dur is an awesome underrated character. 

bao dur fun facts

- disabled veteran who is still wracked with guilt from his actions in the war - volunteer eco-vigilante working against a major, corrupt corporation to help an oppressed species save their planet, until mercenaries forced him into hiding - prefers droids to people because they’re easier to understand - followed around by a floating little droid he build as a child - exile: “can you build me one?” bao-dur: “i would, but then i wouldn’t be the only one with a floating sphere following him around and i kind of like that” - fluent in five languages: zabraki, ithorese, basic, bocce and binary - his talents in engineering rival the best echani shield smiths, he built himself an arm, also one of the lost jedi but still says ‘i’m just a tech’ - breaks through shields and force fields just by punching them. literally canon that bao-dur is the best at punching things - exile: “how’d you lose your arm, anyways?” bao-dur: “i got tired of it- kept dropping my hydrospanner. figured i’d get a new one” - “i’m trying to work here, atton” - probably the reason why he can’t equip jedi robes is bc he’s too buff and would probably just tear them apart by flexing - “if it wasn’t for me, we’d all be floating in space”

Starting to realize the reason I find Soraya so relatable is, because I struggled with feeling like I was inherently evil due to my autism and ADHD. Her learning to accept her powers kind of parallels my struggles to accept my neurodiversity, although thankfully without a kingdom at stake.

What NOT to Do

*after Kreia kills the Jedi masters*

The Exile: But WHY?!

Kreia: You were there. Vrook wanted to kill you, so I killed him, then everyone saw me kill Vrook so I killed everyone. You must end the entire order to prevent revenge killings. That's Jedi Killing 101.

Atton: Uh, I taught that class at the Korriban Academy and we never covered anything this fucked up.

I'm torn between agreeing with Atton, and laughing while picturing him as an actual teacher.

Against Whitewashing

I am begging whoever is casting the Mass Effect movie to not whitewash Ashley Williams who is Latina, when there are plenty of badass Latina actresses who could portray her. We already had to put up with Bioware whitewashing her in Mass Effect 3.
