day 5: power dynamics / ‘we need to talk’

[PA intercom voice] din djarin there is going to be a little girl on jakku in need of a father. i REPEAT there going to be a little girl on jakku in need of a father

i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”

because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?

a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”

so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency

been struggling w everything I’m creating recently so I’ve been pushing myself to try things that are completely out of my comfort zone — I thought I’d share some of the results!

Underrated Space fam

((Anti-Mace comments will be ignored, Mace is now a space-grandpa))

made a female Nautolan Jedi Master name Kilindi Matako for Lightside Maul AU. This Nautolan is loosely based on the character of the same name from the book Wrath of Darth Maul. I figure Maul would have a close friend/ colleague whom he likes to work with, and they’re both beautiful creature with bold patterned appearance. 

Just because your feelings are valid, this doesn't mean that every possible reaction to them is. Yes, it's okay to be angry - but it's not okay to take it out on someone by breaking their stuff. Yes, it's okay to be jealous - but it's not okay to sabotage relationships. Yes, it's okay to want attention - but it's not okay to lie to get it. And so on. Your feelings are always valid, but you still have a responsibility for how you choose to express them.
