I Can’t Believe This Is Happening… I’ve Been Thinking Of The Al-shifa Siege For The Past Five Six

Some Thoughts/Reasons why the “Final” Season doesn't worry me. 

Many animated shows lately have been canceled prematurely due to corporate interference, budget cuts, or higher up dealings. Which at least for me, has left me feeling frustrated and discouraged when it comes to consuming entertainment. And at first, hearing that The Bad Batch was already in its final season after just two seasons, immediately reignited a lot of those feelings. 

But I want to remind everyone that it is not being canceled. Its ending, but it's by the choice of the creative team. I feel like too often shows will either fall into two categories. Either they are canceled way too soon, or they are kept alive well after their expiration date. And both scenarios are not ideal. 

While its fun to have your favorite show go on indefinitely, it will one way or another get to a point where it feels directionless, unmotivated, or stale. Typically writing goes down the toilet, actors leave, and characters aren't interesting anymore. (*ahem* The Mandalorian) 

If the creators of this show feel like they can tell the rest of the Batch’s story in one season, then I trust them. I want a good ending for these characters, I want one that is not rushed or slapped together. Its okay for things to end. I just want it to be given the time and effort they deserve.

And lets be real, this is Star Wars we are talking about. Characters (especially beloved characters) are hardly ever gone permanently. Pretty much every “main” character has come back in another show. So even with the end of this series on the horizon, I highly doubt it will be the end of these characters. So keep that in mind if you find yourself spiraling. 

Side Note: 

I think most of us have seen the leaked teaser, but remember! Star Wars is pretty crafty with their trailers. For season 2 the majority of the trailer was made up from the first 6ish episodes! I’m predicting they save Cross and Omega within the first couple episodes, Tech will probably come back either early - mid season and then who knows what we will be getting at the very end. I remember hearing, I think Dee Bradly Cooper say that the show is about The Batch at its core. And given we didn't really get to see everyone in action together during season 2. I'm assuming we are building up to have ALL SIX of them together fighting a big ol battle at the end of the show. Whatever I'm sure they do, it will be great!

If I don't see more Ahsoka x reader when the ahsoka show comes out, I will be throwing hands

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Mustafa Barghouti: Israel does not only imprison Palestinians who are alive, they are also imprisoning dead people; martyrs.

398 Palestinians who had already died in Israeli jails or because they were shot by the Israeli army are kept in jail.

Those who die in Israeli prisons because of sickness or because of torture have to stay in prison in refrigerators to complete their sentence.

Interviewer: how does Israel justify keeping the bodies of Palestinian prisoners or people who have died under their watch?

Mustafa Barghouti: There is no justification. 142 of the Palestinians who were killed recently, and most of them are young people and children, are kept in refrigerators, refusing to release them as a form of psychological torture against their families, and as a form of collective punishment against their families.

256 [dead prisoners] are kept in what is called numbered cemeteries where there is a number for each one of them as some of them have been there for more than 40 years. It's an awful kind of practice.

Answer him!!!!!

Not just thousands of Palestinian children, but tens of thousands of Palestinian youths, men, women, and the elderly. 5% of Gaza's population has been either severely disabled/injured, has gone missing, or has been genocided. From destroying orchards and farms, to the destruction of Gaza Infrastructure to the point where it has collapsed in many spaces -especially their medical complexes, to the complete lack of access to fresh and clean water. Israhell is also still starving Palestinians -is still committing war crimes, and now this? The zionists are continuing their illegal settler-colonial project full steam ahead apparently, and it's beyond horrific.

So this video of a "care worker" claiming Hamas seized Control of the hospital she worked at came out a bit ago

@dirhwangdaseul this is sick

🚨 Alarming figures from @/ EuroMedHR study on hunger levels in Gaza set to be released tomorrow:

71% of Gaza's population faces severe hunger, with 98% experiencing inadequate food consumption. 64% resort to consuming fruits, wild or raw food, & expired items to alleviate hunger.

To these fiendish governments and officials all around the world comfortably earning a living and having endless access to resources and essentials -to those who have aided, ignored, abetted, and funded this mass genocide and human rights violations -you're despicable and I wish for nothing but your demise.
