Oh god, I just realized.
I never noticed until I saw this moment in gif form. Aayla hears her men bringing their weapons up–and immediately scans the trees for the threat they must have seen.
She’s not looking at her troopers, she’s looking up and to the sides assuming they saw something she didn’t. Because what else could they possibly be aiming at?
hoW DID THIS BREAK A THOUSAND NOTES
Because Star Wars is pain.
petition to ban the word ‘discourse’ and bring back ‘fandom wank’ as the term so that inter-fandom arguments go back to sounding just as silly as they usually are
@ game designers who make bosses that can heal themselves: what the fuck is your damage
When I tell people to delete anon hate, to not publish it, it’s not me saying “ignore it and it’ll stop; don’t fight back.” It is 100% petty and spiteful. Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than the person who sent the hate obsessively checking your blog and refreshing and refreshing, waiting for you to reply, and getting increasingly frustrated when the ask they so masterfully crafted never pops up & you just keep posting cute pictures of your pets and talking about how nice your day was.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!
no offense but like…..reblog the fics you like. there is nothing more discouraging than having people read your fic without leaving kudos or any form of response. comment if you like it! send them a message! use the tags to talk about how you liked it! share the work so that others can read it too!
too often fic writers deal with people hounding them for updates, but never any feedback. end the cycle. reblog the fics you like. talk about them. share them.
dear caretakers of children: stop telling kids “I don’t care who started it!”. you’re teaching children to ignore unequal power balances. that leads to legitimate belief in things like reverse racism, misandry, heterophobia, etc. you’re teaching children that it’s wrong to retaliate when they are wronged. “who started it” is very, very relevant.
It can also teach them that defending themselves is wrong and set them up for abuse later in life.
It always matters who started it. One person is defending themselves, and one person instigated it. When you tell them you “don’t care who started it” you’ve taught one of them that if they defend themselves they will be punished for doing so. You’ve taught the other one that they can do whatever they wish to others, no one will punish only them for it, their victim will be seen as equally accountable for what happened.
Is that really a lesson you want your kids to absorb?
Wow that is strange that it seems so normal to hear “I don’t care who started it!”
I…. wish I would have heard this more….
All these “zero tolerance policies” really ram home these same terrible lessons. In many schools, getting punched in the face is punished equally with punching someone in the face.
in my own family this produced a nervous wreck and a neo-nazi so, like, Yeah. No justice, just order.
I am a disaster
I destroy everything in my path
I am blind to compassion
I am a natural cause of death
And I am sorry
For In the end
I destroyed
you
too.(x)
