Two days ago this was just Luke playing with his toy airplane that it was probably given to him by his uncle or aunt. Two days ago I would see this scene and I would have thought “That’s a nice cute scene. Luke likes airplanes like Anakin did”.
But from now on I will know that this was a gift from Obi-Wan and it just has a whole new meaning. Now I will watch this scene knowing that Obi-Wan worked really hard, probably for weeks to be able to afford this. Obi-Wan would watch Luke play with this and he would be reminded how much Luke is Anakin’s son. Then he will be reminded of all the times he flew with Anakin and what a great pilot he was.
Yeah thank you Disney. Because all I wanted was one more Star Wars scene to make me cry like I didn’t have 1582 already 🙄😒

yes but the experience of occassionally seeing a curated-by-my-homies tiktok vid on my dash is so violently different from the endless stream of scrolling through algorithmic video content. i crave variety. what is my social media experience without walls of text interrupted randomly by videos of ducks and pictures of weird vegan brownies.
I’m not going to a primarily audiovisual social media site. I’m not. Even if the Tiktok app weren’t worse than the Facebook app on internet privacy and related user data security concerns, I wouldn’t.
The occasional brief audiovisual content known to be relevant to the interests of someone I’m following, in among the text posts and still images and silently moving gifs, is a lovely thing.
…I want to just draw a fashion zine of just Miss Piggy, oh my god. she is so underrated and underutilized, where is my succession-like muppets satire thing LOL I want it so bad. let me do it disney call me pls
Every time I read fandom posts about fictional characters ‘deserving’ things I’m struck by how culturally Christian ya’ll are without realizing it
Your critical analysis skills won’t improve until you understand that characters are tools in a story and applying real life morality to them does not lead to good writing. Does a villain 'deserve’ redemption? Who cares? I want to know if it would support the story’s message. Does a tragic character 'deserve’ better? That doesn’t matter. Did their death serve as a satisfying end to their arc? Did it impact the greater narrative in a positive way?
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn’t remember the word “doorknob” ten minutes ago.
