I love how the main characters of the prequel trilogy, the original trilogy, The Clone Wars, and Rebels can be summed up as follows:

A Lasat, a grumpy droid, a smuggler, and -deep breath- Darth Vader's son, Darth Vader's daughter, Darth Vader's droid, the droid Darth Vader built, a Wookiee who saved Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's master, Darth Vader's grandmaster, Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's wife, Darth Vader's favorite clone captain, a Jedi who fought Darth Vader, a rebel pilot whose father fought alongside Darth Vader's master, a Mandalorian whose mother fought alongside Darth Vader's padawan, a padawan who fought Darth Vader and met Darth Vader's master on Darth Vader's home planet, Darth Vader's padawan again, Darth Vader before he was Darth Vader, and Darth Vader 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks to the person who introduced me to the fandom, I’ve only seen the extended versions of LOTR movies and I refuse to watch the shorter versions. Like, voluntarily depriving myself of a part of the cool stuff? That’s crazy.

(yes, the movies are too long to watch in one sitting. It may be just me or it may be a lot of people, I don’t know. But I’d rather pause it and continue on the next day than just… shorten it. I’m doing it for my own pleasure, after all)

“Well, I mostly listen to Music I Like genre, specifically to its subgenre I Heard A Piece Once And It Gave Me Vibes”

I hate it when people ask me what genre of music i listen to because i genuinely have no clue. It's called Music I Like genre. The best genre out there

When watching “A scandal in Belgravia”, I guessed Irene’s password somewhere in the middle of the episode solely because of the phone interface. I thought that “l am [][][][] locked” was such an… unusual alternative for “enter your password” that it had to have meaning, you know?

When I was reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and sequels), I felt that something about it was oddly similar to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. Something about the bizarre character ideas, the new takes on philosophical concepts like time or reincarnation or our place in the universe, and the witty satire on Earth (Roundworld) bureaucracy…

Am I the only one who feels like this?

This. I do not actively seek a romantic relationship right now and I don’t know if I would or would not like to have any in the future. But I suppose that if joining the Jedi Order was an available option for me and not something:

a) fictional,

b) only available to individuals with certain abilities,

c) only to be joined at a very young age,

then giving up romance would seem a small price for everything that the Jedi Order has to offer and that was listed in the previous posts:

friendly community

lifelong financial stability

loving and supportive environment

self-fulfilment through helping make the world a better place

encouragement to learn, explore, discover and teach

learning to manage my emotions in a healthy way

also, all sorts of wild adventures

getting cool Force powers and learning how to master them

last but not least, wielding a lightsaber

If there was a real-world community that provided all these things and didn’t require worshipping any deity, and if I knew for sure that they were legit, did actual good things, taught actual cool skills and didn’t scam, trick or manipulate anyone, then I would’ve seriously considered joining them instead of having to drag myself through all these job-career-success things and all the marriage-family-reproduction pressure and other stuff. (don’t worry, I’m not actually considering joining a real-life cult. I’m aware that in reality there’s no way of knowing if any organisation is what it claims to be, and I know that even without Force powers such community sounds too good to be true. I’m just dreaming here, ok?)

Call me crazy, but I know for a fact that I would not want a romantic relationship if I was a Jedi.

If I lived somewhere where I was a part of a community of people that I considered my mentors, my friends, my family; if I lived somewhere where I was encouraged to learn, to travel, to help people, to enjoy life as it is, and better myself; if I lived somewhere where I was supported and loved and cared for by the community, and I did the supporting, the loving, the caring for other people in the community as well; if I lived somewhere where it wasn't constantly implied, or sometimes outright stated, that my worth was tied to me marrying a man, popping out children, and making money...

...if I was a Jedi, I can honestly say that the thought of pursuing a romantic relationship probably wouldn't cross my mind at all---not unless I met someone specific whom I felt that sort of connection with, but even then, I probably wouldn't give up being a Jedi to be with them because I'd feel more fulfilled as a Jedi than I would in a romantic relationship.

I honestly don't understand the assumption that the Jedi are miserable because they can't get married, I really don't.

If you feel like you wouldn't be able to be fulfilled without a romantic partner, then that's fine! Everyone's different! We all have different wants and needs! But just accept that you wouldn't be fulfilled without a romantic relationship and stop acting like it's impossible for anyone else to feel differently.

The Jedi all seem perfectly happy as they are.

A quick reminder for men that Aramis canonically paid a lot of attention to his looks and had an elaborate skin care routine. Which did not in any way stop him from stabbing anyone who doubted his masculinity. Of course I’m not saying you should stab people, it’s not the 17th century anymore, it’s unethical & illegal & possibly toxically masculine… but maybe if they’re forcing unnecessary stereotypes on you in a really aggressive manner…

This is exactly why I keep telling people:

Read. Terry. Pratchett. Books.

And if you already have… well, reread them after a good while to have a new understanding of them.

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just: Here's a funny little joke Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept Here's a unique and well written simile Here's a lil guy Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

That’s me. And my native language doesn’t even have as much potential for mispronunciation as English lol

Really, what is canon? There’s just a bunch of movies, shows, books, comics and games of different levels of coolness and some of them contradict each other and sometimes it’s two equally cool versions that contradict each other, so what’s the point of all this? There can be more than one well-written, logical, satisfying story about the same characters in the same universe, and they’re all there for us to enjoy.

Arguments about what's canon and what's not in SW fandom are kinda pointless, I know for a fact that every fan has their personal frankensteined version of canon based on what's best for their own blorbos. I love picking up a random licensed book to sneer at half of its ideas and then steal the rest. Some shows and books and comics and whole movies are simply not incorporated into my belief system. That's how we roll

Just saw this post & remembered how much I dislike books/shows/movies named the same as the main character because when someone asks me “do you like [name]?”, I always have to reply “the character or the work?” And also the web searches & tags & stuff are always messed up

Am I the only one getting tired of shows and movies just using the name of the main character instead of coming up with something interesting? (“Ahsoka” “Obi-Wan Kenobi” etc.)

petition to rename the ahsoka show "lesbians in space accomplishing nothing for 8 hours"

Witnesses in murder mysteries: yeah sure i can tell you everything about that waiter helping me out a couple of years ago who had nothing special about them whatsoever other than being Extremely Important To The Whole Plot

Also witnesses in murder mysteries: i think i saw someone?? I suppose it was… a person? but i’m not sure? It was so, so dark and i am so, so nearsighted… But i saw them sometime around six or seven, or maybe eight, even closer to nine… I don’t know, all the clocks in this house are wrong and i don’t give a damn about time or space or anything really... I do hope you catch the murderer tho

So true

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

oh, the irresistible feminine urge to read six totally different books at the same time

The main thing Breaking Bad has taught me

Never, ever give annotated books to or accept them from people you do crime with. Yes, even if you think it’s cute. Yes, even if you like them really much. Just don’t.
