CARRIE FISHER behind the scenes of the STAR WARS SEQUEL TRILOGY
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) dir. George Lucas | BEHIND THE SCENES
just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.
for those of you who don’t know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.
autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie ‘inspiring’ and important’ and it’s absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.
💛 - your local actually autistic pal
p.s. please, please reblog if you aren’t autistic.
You have indeed felt a great loss, but love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. Their love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new love.

we all deserve a “did you eat” person in our lives
ooh more prompts! How about speechless for the disaster trio?
yes, haha!!! thanks for the proompt!! // from these prompts
speechless: ahsoka can’t talk because of a sore throat
Anakin knew that Ahsoka was miserable, although he wasn’t sure what she was more miserable about—the fact that she had a sore throat, or the fact that she had a sore throat and was still at this stupid party with kids who were Ahsoka’s age and unable to make any real conversation.
That was harsh, Anakin thought, annoyed. To have them both be here when Ahsoka could hardly say two words together without her face twisting or needing to drink water. And it wasn’t exactly easy for Anakin either—he hated the silence that stretched between them, one that was only punctured by Ahsoka’s occasional cough or a yes/no question.
“You holding up okay?” Anakin asked now.
Ahsoka looked at Anakin, her lips pressed together as though to say, what do you think?
“I don’t think she liked that question,” Obi-Wan said. He had returned with drinks—well, tea. Ahsoka took it with a halfhearted smile.
“I know, I know,” Anakin said. “Figured it was worth a shot.”
“Seems like a terrible shot,” Obi-Wan commented.
Ahsoka nodded.
A few kids passed them, one of them a girl who turned once to Ahsoka. Anakin noted the girl’s shy smile before she joined her friends. When Anakin looked at Ahsoka, she was pointedly staring up at the ceiling. Anakin looked over to Obi-Wan, who he noticed had been watching too. They locked eyes for a moment, and Anakin wondered what Obi-Wan would say—but Obi-Wan just looked at his drink.
“You know,” Anakin said after a few moments, “you don’t really have a lot of opportunities to meet other people your age.”
“I—” Ahsoka started, her voice cracking. She turned away, coughed. She glared at Anakin.
“Anakin,” Obi-Wan said.
“Sorry,” Anakin said, looking between his former master and apprentice. “I didn’t know you’d try to defend yourself.”
When Ahsoka kept glaring, Anakin smiled. “Listen—what I mean is, you don’t have a whole ton of opportunities to meet other people your age and have fun.” He pointed to himself. “Now, me? I’m plenty fun—”
Ahsoka rolled her eyes.
“—but I have a feeling that you might need other friends,” Anakin said.
Ahsoka looked at him. She pressed her lips together again. Then opened her mouth, ready to say something, and then closed her mouth.
She walked away, and Anakin blinked. He turned to Obi-Wan. “Was that offensive?”
“Not particularly, but she might just be trying to avoid conversation,” Obi-Wan said, sipping his drink.
“Very funny.”
But no, Ahsoka was just tapping a waiter’s shoulder. She held her hand out, and after a few gestures, the waiter passed Ahsoka a notepad.
Anakin smiled to himself. Of course she would figure it out.
Ahsoka marched right back, already scribbling something on the notepad. She turned it to Anakin, and in her scrawling handwriting, Anakin read: AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?
“I have friends,” Anakin said easily.
Ahsoka frowned, then scribbled something else on her notebook. She turned it back around to Anakin: OBI-WAN’S OLDER THAN YOU
“Hm,” was Obi-Wan’s only comment.
“Rex and I are around the same age,” Anakin replied.
FAIR, BUT THAT’S ONLY ONE. YOU SAID FRIENDS, PLURAL.
“I thought we were talking about you, not me,” Anakin said. He plucked the notepad out of Ahsoka’s hand, ripped out the first few written pages. He passed it back to Ahsoka. “And anyways, it seems like you’ve figured it out—go…talk to someone. Write to someone.”
Ahsoka blinked. She started to write something down, but Anakin shook his head.
“Go,” he said, shoving Ahsoka lightly. “Pretty sure that girl’s dying for some conversation right now.”
Ahsoka’s cheeks deepened in color. She looked at Anakin, already opening her mouth again, closed it. She looked at Obi-Wan.
“I’m sure she wouldn’t mind,” Obi-Wan said. Anakin looked at him in surprise, but his former master was smiling at Ahsoka. Okay, then.
Anakin cleared his throat, turned back around to Ahsoka.
“That’s an order, Snips,” he said. “Go make friends. I swear I won’t get lonely.”
Ahsoka hesitated. Then, with a small smile, she turned around and walked away.
Anakin smiled a little after her. She’d be better than him with the whole people thing, he knew. As he watched Ahsoka talk—well, write—to the girl (and the girl, to Anakin’s relief, only smiled and spoke back), he figured that would be a good thing.
I’m so embarrassed to have to type this out but this is the last place I can turn for the support of my friends and community. I’m a struggling Latina lesbian trying to make my way in the world, and with COVID19 my financial situation deteriorated until I was forced to move back in with my parents.
A few nights ago a person I once considered a friend outed me to my parents because he was upset I rejected his romantic advances. Upon finding out my parents decided to kick me out, and I’ve had to stay with a friend. Now that she can no longer house me, I’m trying to find an apartment and need help staying at a motel and paying for food and gas.
I just need a few hundred dollars to cover the cost of living until I get my next pay cheque and find a place to lease. If you want to help a struggling sapphic Latina, my paypal is paypal.me/ant0nella
I know everyone is going through tough times, but please if you cannot donate just signal boost. I have faith in my friends and found family here.
if I see one more post complaining about teenagers ruining fandom im going to yell. like you never did cringy shit as a kid. like you don’t do cringy shit now. who cares. don’t harass people. kids should also not harass people. nobody should be harassing anybody, especially over fandom. y’all go to your separate corners and bitch and moan about the people you don’t like but keep it in your corner
either the kids will grow up and mature like every other generation in the history of humanity, or the kids will grow up and not mature and they will be like you. either way, you don’t have a leg to stand on
