Wait. Grusk Baby Born On Karl Marx’s Birthday…. X Æ A-12 Complete The Mission

Now, I’m not saying romantic relationships are inferior, or that they’re useless, or that you being in one or that you shipping some characters romantically is Bad or something off the walls like that. What I’m saying is that two people (or characters, since we’re talking shipping here) can be just as devoted to each other, love each other just as deeply, mean just as much to each other while being in a platonic relationship. The end point of caring about someone doesn’t have to be romance.

Friendship isn’t a stepping stone between strangers and romantic partners, it’s a different path. And you can follow that path as deep into the wood as a romantic one if you want, and neither is inferior to the other, they just have different views.

I can’t get over the continued thematic follow-through of this idea that Jedi aren’t truly Jedi unless they’re standing up in defense of the innocent and helpless, they have to be active in the galaxy, they have to spread kindness and compassion wherever they go, it’s an uncontrollable urge, it’s an itch, “They cannot help it.“

And also the idea that it’s FORCE ITSELF that is whispering to them, calling them back, calling them home, telling them to take up their swords again, reach out in faith and find that the Light never left you, it’s still inside you and it needs you because the galaxy is so so dark and bleak and hopeless and there’s so much evil everywhere and the galaxy needs them to stand up and step out of the shadows and into the light so that they can reignite people’s hope.

It’s the pauses of awe and wonder in even the most miserable and selfish of underworld denizens because that’s a Jedi, the Jedi are back, the Jedi are here, everything will be okay now.

It’s F knighting herself, cutting her own padawan braid and proudly declaring she is a Jedi to save a frightened exploited village bride.

It’s Kanan igniting his saber for the first time in years to protect his future padawan and a clutch of Wookie slaves and the rattled composure in the Imperials when they realize, “Holy shit that’s a Jedi.“

It’s Cal and Cere deciding they were done hiding, done running from the Empire, they were going to fight back, and Saw gleefully pointing to them to inspire his band of Rebels.

It’s Obi-Wan unburying his lightsaber even after being so hopeless and broken and full of guilt and self-blame because people still need him, he’s the only one they can trust.

The whole Dark Times as a sloooooowly turning eucatastrophe, tiny lights of hope struggling to hold back the darkness long enough.  Holding out.  Buying time until the twin suns can rise.  Until Luke and Leia and the destruction of the Death Star and the death of the Emperor and the glorious return of light to the galaxy.

I love it.

Friend: “Have you seen [TV Show/Movie]?”

What I say: “I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, yeah!”

What I mean: “I’ve seen gifs”

There is no sun, there is no sun, there is no sun, there is no SUN IN THE LAST EPISODE OF ANDOR. EVERYTHING IS DARK OR CLOUDY, NO SUNSETS OR SUNRISES. THERE IS NO LIGHT ON CASSIAN’S FACE EXEPT FROM THE TIME THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT MAARVA IN THE TUNNELS, BECAUSE THE LAST TIME HE TALKED ABOUT MAARVA THE SUN WAS HIDDEN BEHIND THE CLOUDS AND HE LEARNED SHE’S DEAD. 

THERE IS NO SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy: When I was a kid the TV show I hated the most was called, “Dora the Explorer”

Percy: Okay, my mom made me watch it cuz she thought it was educational...yeah...she never watched the show.

Percy: The two things I learnt from the show was RAGE and ANGER...From that crop top, melon head, Mexican child.

Percy: Cuz she would just walk up to the screen and ask me “Hey! Where’s the red barn?” And I’m like “Dora! It’s right there!”

Percy: And then she would act all confused like I just spoke a different language and I’m getting irritated with this girl now

Percy: And she has the audacity to ask “where?” And I’m like “BEHIND YOU! DORA!!”

Percy: And she’s acting all confused again and then she goes to ask Map for help

Percy: And I’m like “WE DON’T NEED TO TALK TO MAP!!! ITS RIGHT BEHIND YOU DORA!!!! JUST TURN AROUND!!!!!”

Percy: AND SHE’S LOST NOW AND I CAN’T HANDLE THIS-

so you're telling me that aaravos did all of this out of spite? like, the startouch elves killed his daughter for using magic around a human, accusing her of "breaking the cosmic order", so aaravos was like "i'll show you breaking the cosmic order bitches" and proceeded to cause problems on purpose for the next 5,000 something years?

amazing.

This parallel filled me up with warm and love.

“We are only humans, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.”

We have so many words for hate, let's create as many new words for love.

When I first came to this site it was for content and comfort and community I couldn't find in my own surroundings, and I love this place, it still calms me. But the bitter side of being here is that every day I learn more and more about violence happening in the world. I first learned about racism in here. I first learned about homophobia in here. And hate crimes, and ableism and transphobia and misogyny and the many ways religion is treated. And it had taught me much. I find out that I too had participated in such acts of hate. I became a better person and changed my ways of thinking but I still have a lot to grow. It saddens me that every act of violence and hate has its own definition for it, because it means that such thing happened so often people created a new word for it. It saddens me that more and more such word are created every day. And I wish it wouldn't have to be this way,  but I realise that people can't just give up on hate. But maybe one day we will. I hope that one day we will. But in the meantime, let's lay a foundation for it. Let's do for every act of violence and equal act of love and compassion and understanding and kindness. Let's do it again and again, that it would became its own phenomenon with its own definition.

We have so many words for hate, let's create as many new words for love.
