I have seen them :) I was the one making asks about the Molecular Phase Amplifier lmao. The parallels between Ghostbusters Frozen Empire and Egon’s Ghost are making me feral.

Reblogging this for anyone looking at my posts who wants a masterlist of Ghostbusters blogs.

As part of my agenda to make Nadeem more popular, I’ve been considering maybe making an ask blog for him.

Probably wouldn’t be able to answer all that often (GCSEs rip my life) but let me know if you think that’s an absolutely terrible idea or if you reckon I should give it my best shot (bear in mind, I am an English teenager with little experience of America or the internet generally).

Idk, let me know. Been a bit indecisive about it so far.

Okay, the Nadeem ask blog is live at @ask-nadeem-razmaadi after some positive feedback. I’ll do my best to answer questions with as much ‘accuracy’ as I can, but I’ll probably be a bit slow (GCSEs lmao please kill me).

Have fun!

Oh BIGTIME. Obi-Wan’s death was instant and simple to comprehend. So he was really sad about it all at once.

The stages of grief are a thing obviously but idk if that quite illustrates how losing someone so integral to your life is. You know it, but you can’t fully believe it. You catch yourself thinking they’re just in another room or something. You have so many realisations about how things were that you never thought about before that person was gone. Like there’s a point where it’s so crushing you can’t physically be sad about it. Your brain won’t do it.

And this is like. Combined with Biggs’ death as well. Combined with the sudden and abrupt destruction of his childhood, his home and everything he knew. That boy is moving waaaay too fast to stop and comprehend anything as big as the death of his parents (Owen and Beru).

I honestly think that going back to Tatooine in the 3rd movie, necessary as it may have been, contributed a lot to Luke almost falling. He’s just had a sudden reminder of everything that’s been taken from him. His home. His parents. His best friend. His way of life. His childhood. To not let your anger and frustration about all of that overcome you is nuts.

It’s always so heartbreaking to me that every time we see Owen display how he really feels about Luke in canon (the books, and Kenobi) Luke is never there to hear it.

When Owen faces down the inquisitor and declares that Luke IS his son, Luke is already way out of earshot (even though I do sort of consider the Kenobi show non-canon). When Owen talks to Beru after the argument with Luke on the day they die, telling her he feels bad about having to squash Luke’s dreams and wanting to find some way to make it up to him, he never hears it.

Owen’s relationship with Luke WAS complex, and it was rocky sometimes. I’ve always read this as Owen having difficulty being emotionally open, at least as far as the ANH novel and Kenobi show have shown. Owen loves Luke DEEPLY, right to his core. But he doesn’t know how to put that into words. He’s an awkward man! He’s been raised on nightmare hell planet where becoming too attached to someone might end up in them being killed or sold into slavery and you being miserable! Look at what happened to both of his mothers!

When someone you love dies, you look at all their actions with a new light and deeper introspection. Can you imagine the absolute world-shattering thoughts Luke must have had after Owen and Beru died?

Realising he was more deeply loved than he could have ever realised, even if Owen had a harder time showing it.

And Owen’s parental anxiety is shown in Kenobi! Owen Lars, one of the most dedicated fathers in the galaxy, probably died wondering if his son would ever know how much he really loved him.

Owen probably died with so, so many regrets. Owen probably died wondering if he deserved to raise Luke (which he DID) and if he had done enough to prepare his son for the world (HE DID).

Owen Lars has always been a heartbreaking character for me.

Other things to mention:

The final cell is called a ‘hybridoma’

They are also used in the treatment of cancer (because they’re so highly specific that they can be used to target cancer cells without hurting any of the body’s)

Monoclonal antibodies my fucking beloathed

Shit’s going down and he doesn’t really want to get involved just yet (everyone else has got it, no sense getting his ass kicked, right?).

I promise I will do a serious drawing of his armour someday but I feel like this would be the average experience with New York’s firemaster (tell me he wouldn’t go buy hot dogs in the middle of a fight).

Bonus points if Podcast starts running commentary.

(Generally not too proud of how this came out but at least it’s a practice before I properly draw his armour. I could not be assed with a background I’ve just bloody done 2 hours of Physics.)

Oh my god bro the universe literally threw you the reverse peace sign many condolences.

*I left out my three least favourites because there's 15 on the anthology, but those three were: Climbing my Grandfather (Andrew Waterhouses), Love's Philosophy (Percy Shelley) and Before You Were Mine (Carol Ann Duffy)

[archerygun]

I think this is actually the best frame of the movie.

Fucks me up that at least according to the information we are directly told within the shows, these two characters are the same age.

(Although y’know there definitely are parallels within that one episode)

[archerygun]

Uh oh, what’s happened to Oscar?

[archerygun]

They haven’t done it before in Power & Conflict but I am holding out hope.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at Nadeem’s next family gathering like how do you even respond to “So yeah, Dadi was holding out on us the whole time and I prevented the apocalypse with fire magic. What’s new with you?”

Also like imagine being his brother. You’re watching the news and you see your loser brother in ancient armour shooting fire at a giant horror movie creature. You’d think you were tripping balls. (Although tbf if my sister saved the world I think I might never speak to her again. I hope Nadeem’s brother is a better man than I am because sibling jealously would eat me alive).

I’m imagining a situation now where Nadeem’s needed for something but he’s got his brother staying with him (probably to try and reconnect or something) so the pair of them show up to the job and his brother turns out to be annoyingly competent, but also completely losing his shit like “I’M SORRY THIS IS WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR WEEKENDS???”

His family are going to be so fucking confused though lmao imagine your mum turns out to be a protector against ancient evil and you only find out after she dies.

Oh ripppppp. At least it’s a really good poem to analyse though, definitely my ideal one (sadly impossible this year).

[archerygun]

Not Percy Shelley’s fault it’s easy to commit to memory ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*I left out my four least favourites because there's 16 on the anthology, but those four were: Tissue (Imtiaz Dharker), The Charge of the Light Brigade (Alfred Tennyson), Poppies (Jane Weir), and War Photographer (Carol Ann Duffy) P&C students, I'm sorry if one of those is your favourites, but I picked my favourites based on first impressions, whereas with L&R I have personal experience with all of them.

Love and Relationships version of this poll

[archerygun]

Trust me we’re all shitting ourselves about the possibility of Tissue this year.

Nadeem, in the middle of a fight, sticking paper in the toaster to try and get a spark out of it (he forgot to bring matches).

(Disclaimer - I don’t know if Nadeem literally can’t generate fire, or if he’s just super fucking bad at it - which would make sense because he’s still a learner. Maybe he’ll learn someday.)
