as an aroace person with limited sexual experience, no interest in watching porn, and poor sex ed as a teen, there IS something simultaneously funny and vaguely tragic about being 28 adult years old and realising how extremely tiny your frame of reference is for genitalia and deciding you should expand this to better understand bodies (yours and others). and then you're just there like "okay so what the fuck do I even google right now, anyway"
People i'm kinda late watching episode 5 of willow but WHAT THE HELL! Kit being taken at THAT MOMENT???? THAT SCENE??? this show is doing things to me
Racists will always be mad. But now an entire new generation of black kids get to grow up with black Jedi that aren't just Mace Windu. Bell Zettifar. Kai Brightstar. Yord Fandar. Mae Aniseya. Kelleran Beq. This isn't even all of them but they are in the biggest medias.
I was scrolling through merch and saw kids Kai Brightstar costumes for halloween and my heart exploded remembering when I was in a walmart years ago near halloween and a little black boy ran past me to scream at his mom that he could be Falcon for Halloween. When I was baby sitting my chinese friends little brother and showed him Keenan Kong Chinas Superman and he said "So I can be Superman for Halloween?" Like he at age 10 already thought he couldn't be.
This matters. All the negativity doesn't matter because so many star wars loving families and kids are getting to tune in and for the first time in their lives see so many people reflecting them. Their hair being celebrated and styled completely casually on TV. Their softness and power. Their importance and impact.
Even in Young Jedi Adventures Bell Zettifar spends the episode with Kai teaching him about patience and not being reckless. Bonding together and being a positive almost sibling like relationship. There's a black Princess in the show as well.
Regardless of all the hate and negativity this is so so so important and I tear up thinking about all the little kids and older fans finally seeing this because I know its already brought me to tears
Kit: Jade, Jade, do the thing!
Jade: *genuinely smiles*
Kit, breathlessly overwhelmed: Oh my god...
Did anyone else sometimes hear Airk's, Kit's, and Jade's names being said as Eric, Kate, and Jane (respectively)? Like, I didn't think those were actually their names but sometimes I was confused when I heard their names spoken. However, I didn't know Airk's name wasn't Eric until I went to tumblr. I guess his is just pronounced the same way?
I just finished watching the Willow doc. I'm super bad at telling when people are joking/being sarcastic, but, like the whole doc was a big joke, right? Especially the Warwick parts like WHAT IS HAPPENING???
Sol: Why are you smiling?
Jecki: What? Can’t I just be happy?
Osha: Yord tripped and fell in the hallway
Airk: Now that we’ve all chosen our secret santas, we should all say what we want for Christmas!
Kit: I should probably ask for a new tunic.
Jade: A new sword
Elora: I want therapy.
Airk, Kit, Jade:
Airk: Um-
Kit: Wait, me too.
Airk: Guys-
Jade: Actually, I really need therapy too. Can someone get that for me?
Airk: Guys… I… I don’t think therapy’s within the price limit
Elora: Airk, you don’t understand. I’ve probably needed therapy my whole life. Can we just pool the money or something?
Airk: I really don’t think that’ll work… not for all of you
Kit, Jade, Elora: AIRK, WE NEED THERAPY.
Airk: *cowering in fear* I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me
I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
WHY HAS IT TAKEN THIS LONG FOR ME TO LEARN THAT WILLOW WAS CANCELED???????????????????
WHAT THE FLIPPING HELL
Kit: I'm friendly, loyal, and energetic. Kit: I just described a dog, didn't I? Jade: Well, yeah, but people love dogs
