The dehumanization of Palestinians in mainstream media and news is massive, I have never seen it this bad in my entire life and it has been abhorrent long before this. It terrifies me to know how widespread it has become especially throughout the imperial core - however - I have also never seen this many people talk about Palestine, either. Palestinian liberation is something on a lot of people's minds now, solidarity efforts are global and I've seen people from all corners of the globe voicing their support. It's astounding
this is me, wbu?
I don't know how to explain to y'all that 1989 has literally always been both city and beach
“ummmmm ur bra strap is showing :/ ”
Y'all, my heart desires more tanthamore fics. And velcinta fics. And wenclair fics. I love all of them so much
It truly means so much to me the way the white characters in The Acolyte aren't main characters, or if they do have a bigger role they are non-human characters like Jecki and Master Vernestra. Like for once it's not on sight that I clock tokenism or dehumanized BIPOC characters. For once in Star Wars I'm seeing a reversed ratio of white to non white. For so long it's been 4 white for every 1 non white character. I want to go back in time and tell the 8 year old me that our time is coming.
When you realize the reason you can't fall asleep is because you're thinking about the deep complexities of life and you don't know why, you realize that life actually is complex!
Honestly? At this point, I would do anything for Willow to be renewed for season 2
There is no way. no way ashlyn ACTUALLY wrote call it what you want for taylor and chad. she prob convinced herself she was but was channeling her feelings for maddox and what she wanted in THEIR relationship.
so while i was surprised that mae is already like 'y'know what, i'm good actually' about killing the remaining two jedi (not that i can blame her! i too would not want to kill a wookie w/o a weapon), it also makes sense.
mae's obsessed with osha. it's giving cassandra nova with professor x, specifically as to how for mae, the only other 'real' person in the galaxy is osha. no one else exists. their family, their coven, is long dead. nothing else matters. mae will have her sister in any way that she can - something that she felt so strongly that even as a child, she was prepared to kill osha so she couldn't leave her.
so now that mae knows osha is alive, osha is all that matters - being with her, being near her, being one with her - that's all she cares about. the sith, the jedi, none of that is real.
and it's a fun twist! usually when the villain decides not to continue doing their villain tasks, it's because the main character redeemed them - or that they made a choice to atone. but for mae, it doesn't have anything to do with good or evil. she isn't choosing to become better - by no longer pursuing the jedi, she's actually doubling down on her violent, possessive obsession with her sister. this isn't anakin deciding to save luke and betray the emperor - mae isn't trying to save osha or anyone else really from her master. it's about control - it's about picking back up where they left off when they were children.
it's just osha and mae. mae and osha. always one, but born as two.
