TBH!!!!!!!!! Curse You!!!!!

A New Hope: But Cody Is There

no one is doing it like temuera morrison, he really got himself cast in a big tv show like that and did everything within his power to portray the character with as many specifically Māori traits as possible. actively encorportating the haka into how he fights? specifically requesting a weapon which could be wielded like a taiaha?? and then theres a whole section in the doco about how important using Māori culture in boba fetts character was. absolute fucking national treasure

Headcanon that when the clone troopers were made into stormtroopers after Order 66, they purposefully missed their shots because it was the most they could do to fight against the influence of the chips, which is what gave stormtroopers the reputation of being bad shots.

bad star wars oc idea: a sith who finds out that the jedi think falling to the dark side shows weakness, and gets so pissed off that they insist on returning to the light solely to prove they can

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

The Mob Psycho theme is not the most ~artistic~ anime theme ever but damn it might be my favorite

Me: IF EVERYONE IS NOT SPECIAL MAYBE YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE

The Star Wars fandom straight up writes some of the best gen fic I’ve ever read. The world building and characterization is just *chef’s kiss*.

I wanted to tag a background clone/clone relationship so folks could avoid the fic if they wanted, and my dumb ass didn’t realize I could put it in the general tags instead of the ship tags. I am Big Dumb™️

I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.

They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.

They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.

All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.

And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
