1 WEEK OF KYLO REN

↳  Day 1 of 7: Favorite Kylo Ren Scene 

The move™

I don’t know if this scene counts, because it was only for the teaser, but something about it captived me right away, a “favorite character at first sight” sort of thing.

+Bonus:

Rey’s and Ben Solo’s journeys so far + literary motifs

“Myths are not made to sell action figures. Myths are made to to reflect the most difficult transitions we go through in life.” – Rian Johnson

What’s the opposite of a glo up?

Rey doing the same reverse grip move as Kylo; presumably because she picked up his lightsaber fighting style through their bond (requested by anon).

SKAM Remakes Masterpost

Since the deluge of SKAM remakes have started, I have had to keep track of a number of different sites/english translations/playlists/character names, so I’m condensing all the information I have into one post for ease of use as a resource.

If you’re totally new here, all of them are based off of the original Norwegian version. Skam = shame in Norwegian. There were 4 seasons. The show is centered around 5 girls at the beginning of high school. Each season focused on a different character and was presented from their perspective. Season 1: Eva. Season 2: Noora. Season 3: Isak. Season 4: Sana. One website was used to provide updates from the main character’s perspective with clips/social media posts/texts/chats.

If you want to watch the original translated into English go here (they also have full episodes of the remakes translated to english when available). This is the original Skam website.

As of the writing of this post, there are only confirmations of up to season 2 for any of the remakes. The main characters involved in those seasons are: Eva, Noora, Vilde, Chris and Sana: the girl squad. Jonas & Isak: Eva’s boyfriend & his friend. Ingrid, Sara: essentially rivals/ex-friends of Eva. William, Chris: “senior” boys.

Remakes are slated for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands & America. France, Germany & Italy have all started. Spain, the Netherlands and the America have not. We know production/casting on AmSkam (aka Skam Austin, Skam America) has started, but no other information has come out aside from the fact the original Norwegian team, including creator Julie Andem is behind it.

The currently releasing remakes are listed below in the order of their premiere. Please assume that official sites are geoblocked for the specific country.

Current as of 10 April 2018. I’ll try to keep this updated as more information is available.

It’s a bit lengthy so under the cut. (Please don’t steal this… it took awhile to make)

This YouTube channel uploads all the clips from all the remakes and generally they get English subtitles.

Skam France (aka Skam la série, Skam Belgique):

Started 6 February 2018. Season 1 ended, 4 April 2018. Season 2 started, 9 April 2018. Currently on season 2 focused on Manon. It is, minus a few french cultural adjustments, exactly like the original series with plot and script. Unlike the original, unfortunately, Skam France doesn’t have a centralized website with clips/social media/texts.

Kylo & Rey + touching

Visual motif: The mighty Kylo Ren, kneeling in front of Rey, the girl who came from nowhere.

The Empire, your parents, the Resistance, the Sith, the Jedi… let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That’s the only way to become what you are meant to be.

The Unbearable Weight of Staying

by Warsan Shire

i don’t know when love became elusive what i know, is that no one i know has it my fathers arms around my mothers neck fruit too ripe to eat, a door half way open when your name is a just a hand i can never hold everything i have ever believed in, becomes magic. i think of lovers as trees, growing to and from one another searching for the same light, my mothers laughter in a dark room, a photograph greying under my touch, this is all i know how to do, carry loss around until i begin to resemble every bad memory, every terrible fear, every nightmare anyone has ever had. i ask did you ever love me? you say of course, of course so quickly that you sound like someone else i ask are you made of steel? are you made of iron? you cry on the phone, my stomach hurts i let you leave, i need someone who knows how to stay.

Questions for the Woman I Was Last Night (the Honest Conversation)

by Warsan Shire

How far have you walked for men who’ve never held your feet in their laps? How often have you bartered with bone, only to sell yourself short? Why do you find the unavailable so alluring? Where did it begin, what went wrong, and who made you feel so worthless? If they wanted you, wouldn’t they have chosen you? All this time, you were begging for love silently, thinking they couldn’t hear you, but they smelt it on you; you must have known that they could taste the desperate on your skin? And what about the others that would do anything for you–why did you make them love you until you could not stand it? How are you both of these women, both flighty and needful? Where did you learn this: to want what does not want you? Where did you learn this: to leave those that want to stay?

I want more. And I know I shouldn’t. / Forgive me. I feel it again. The pull the light. (insp.)

So, uh. I edited Rey and Kylo’s throne room fight to match Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.

8 Ursula LeGuin Short Stories You Have to Read

Actually you should read every single one of them because they’re all mind-meltingly amazing, but I’m going to pull together a shortlist. I include links when they are available, though I also encourage you to buy LeGuin’s short story collections, especially The Birthday of the World, which is not to be missed.

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

Everyone recommends this short story, and for a damn good reason. It’s my favorite short story ever. Once you read it, it will inscribe itself into your heart and you will never, ever be able to forget it. In my world, it is not entirely untrue to say that this is the only story that matters, and all other truly important stories are variations on this one.

Solitude (excerpt here)

This story makes me cry every time. It’s about the distance between a mother and her children, and how no matter how well intentioned you are, it’s impossible to always do right by your children. You have to let them become their own people, even if that means making choices that seem terrifying and impossible to you.

The Author of the Acacia Seeds

This story feels like Ursula reached into the deepest parts of my imaginative id and placed them on the page. It’s a story about scholars translating and interpreting poems written by ants and penguins. It’s perfect. I wish I were a therolinguist.

Paradises Lost (excerpt here)

Set on a generational ship bound for a new terraformed colony in space, this story is about how the culture that allows you to survive a long journey through space may not match the culture you came from, or the culture you’ll have to build when you reach your destination. This story was a lifeline to me when I was in an abusive situation, and I came to realize that the coping mechanisms that were allowing me to survive the abuse were going to hurt me when it was over, and I reached the green land that was promised me.

Unchosen Love / Mountain Ways (excerpts here)

These love stories are set on the planet of O, where sexuality, gender, and marriage work very differently than they do in our society. I think about the sedoretu marriages of O all the time, and dearly wish other sci fi authors took the time to try to imagine other possible relationship structures the way LeGuin did. (By the way, fandom: please write more sedoretu AUs!!!)

The Fliers of Gy

This is classic wingfic, as fandom would call it – a world where once in a while, a person will spontaneously grow wings. But in this story, having wings is equal parts gift and curse, and everyone who has them reacts to them in a different way. This story has some beautiful metaphors about disability and difference.

The Seasons of the Ansarac

This story is so imaginative! It explores a species of bird-people called the Ansarac who have a migratory society – every season they abandon their homes of the north or the south and fly en masse the other way. It’s so interesting to think about how a civilization of seasonal long-distance migrants would work.

Coming of Age in Karhide (excerpt here)

This story is set in the world of LeGuin’s magnificent novel The Left Hand of Darkness, but you don’t have to read that book to like this story. It’s about coming of age as a teenager in a world without gender and without any shame about sex. The teenager in question goes to their first orgy and everyone is really sweet and supportive. I love this glimpse into how puberty could be a completely different experience.
