Rey: YOURE GONNA PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID
Ben: *softly empathises with his tits out*
Rey:
“Padme is a very strong-willed person, you know. [Anakin]’s not so much attracted to the power that she holds in her political arenas, but rather the power and strength that she holds within herself.”
-Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Episode II: Love Featurette
Hell yea 💕
If you think that a child, a CHILD, feeling neglected by his parents and being angry/hurt by that has ANYTHING to do with “privilege”, then you’re an actual steaming hot pile of donkey shit.
They act like Kylo was 30 when he felt like that. No he was a child. And that fucks kids up. Childhood can either make you or break you. It broke him.
They can just tell that bs to teenage Leia. One of the most heartbreaking passages in Princess of Alderaan is about how deeply hurt and neglected she feels because her parents have shut her out. She later finds out they didn’t mean to do such a thing, they were becoming more involved in the developing Rebellion that was becoming more likely to lead to full blown war. But before she found this out she just wanted her parents’ full attention again, having no idea if it was her fault or what. But the ensuing events of the book are what made her into the Leia we meet in ANH. For one thing, she actually shared her parents’ specific passion and cause. A few decades late, her own child did not. Which contributed to him going a very different direction when he felt neglected and isolated by his parents. Similar situations across generations, very different outcomes. That’s Star Wars for ya.
A few of the best lines from the preview of Shakespeare’s Jedi the Last by Ian Doescher (no particular order)
Kylo: My mother–she is in the ship below.
How urgently the sense of her doth come–
Her sorrow and her love in equal measure.
My scope is set to strike upon the bridge
Wherein I know she waits, with baited breath.
Can I set fire upon the woman who
Did give me life, did raise me as a child?
Shall I play murderer, ply matricide?
I shall not do it, cannot. Thus, I fail.Rey: Luke walks before strange creatures of the sea,
The thala-sirens lounging lazily.
What skill is this? He draws milk from one’s teat!
Which part of Jedi training taught him this?
And O, fresh from the udder, green and warm,
He drinketh it, without a second thought,
Then grins at me with frothy, milky beard–
No table manners doth he worry o'er.
The creature spies me, too, as if ‘twere I
Who is the strange one in this awkward scene.Leia: Behold this amulet about my wrist. [Leia shows Finn the beacon she wears.]
Finn: A cloaked bin'ry beacon–crafty plan!
Leia: To light her homeward way–an apple, cleft
In two, is not more twin than these two beacons.Porg: Porg!

THE MILK DRINKING SCENE HAS BECOME EVEN MORE ICONIC IM DONE
IM FREAKING CRYING LAUGHING
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
because people only care about women’s health/safety when it’s related to/could harm a pregnancy lol
reblog to save a liFE
Up to now, I have been drawing random generic suit jackets.
Never again.
This will come in handy!!
Kylo Ren’s behavior during Rey’s interrogation is so erratic. He keeps telling her not to be afraid, even while he’s invading her mind and going on about how he can take whatever he wants. It’s like he legitimately wants a human connection, but he so desperately needs to be in power that such a connection is impossible.
So it’s beautiful when Rey reads his mind, and he reels back with a look of utter terror. It’s easy to tell her not to be afraid when he’s the one in power–but now the tables have turned, and he’s utterly lost. He finally has to see the situation from her point of view, and realizes that she has every reason to be terrified of him. I think this might be the first moment he has to take a good, hard look at what he’s become–and that moment of self-awareness is his first step toward realizing that falling further into the Dark isn’t what he truly wants.
Strange how your moods can shift from positive about everything about writing and starting new projects and not being concerned about statistics to crushing doubt and certainty that you can’t write anything emotionally impactful. I would rather not feel this way, please and thank you.
I totally get that
