i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they’re allowed to go to extremes. they’re allowed to put their love over the greater good. they’re allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

Finished the first of sixteen (!!!) Star Wars art requests from over on Twitter

this is why we're still fighting!

also why i won't hear anything about how "the petition won't work" because:

that's what the incels are saying to lower morale

it obviously works or else these incels wouldn't make 6 counter petitions

the sheer number of signatures alone is why the media take notice of the campaign (to renew a supposedly unpopular show) and start calling out disney & LF for not protecting their POC and queer talents

please sign if you haven't and share if you can

there are more ways to be loud about this cancellation/renewal (that's the title of episode 1 of s2; i'm calling it now lol), and i will try to share it soon.

the hand that drops his helm fists gently in her locs, holding her to him as she drags him closer by his cloak, closer, closer, never close enough

....

A rainy kiss for all you lovely people. I know we're having A Time right now but this fandom has been so invigorating to me as an artist and it's full of the coolest and most talented people and I'm happy to be part of it.

(sign the petition if you haven't already!)

“Star Wars is for everyone” they say … so long as all of the main characters are still cishet white men.

“Tell good stories with universal themes” they say … so long as those themes don’t involve racism, sexism, ableism, queerness, politics and other universal themes.

Anyway, I’m just gonna leave this fabulous quote here.

[qimir-the-stranger]

These are just SOME of the comments that antis/incels have been leaving on my pinned post since last week.

These are the “fans” that Disney/Lucasfilm chooses to listen and cater to.

The ones who didn’t even bother watching The Acolyte and who openly admit that they hated it without even watching it and without knowing what it was even about.

I’m so fucking done.

[qimir-the-stranger]

I’ve lost count of how many incels/antis that I’ve blocked this past week alone and it is all just from their comments on this post that I made a week ago.

Here is just ONE example from the same troll account. 👀👇

I mean, seriously?

The audacity.

The caucasity.

All these assholes are doing is simply proving my original point. Star Wars is the most toxic fanbase ever and these are the scum that Disney/Lucasfilm chooses to cater to the most.

We get it, Disney. We get it.

Star Wars is not for women.

Star Wars is not for Black people.

Star Wars is not for Asian people.

Star Wars is not for Queer people.

Star Wars is not for anyone who is marginalized and has different lived experiences.

Nope. Star Wars is ONLY for cishet white men. We hear you loud and clear. We know you don’t care about us at all.

The Acolyte | Before The Stranger

[qimir-the-stranger]

Agreed 1000%.

The incels of this fandom don’t want SW stories that decenters men (especially white cishet men) and that caters to the Female Gaze, so it’s hardly surprising that they don’t want any SW story about two twin sisters who are played by the same curvy, Black and Queer actress.

Remember how this fandom treated Kelly Marie Tran before AND after the release of The Last Jedi? The amount of racist, misogynistic and fatphobic comments that antis kept sending her way was so insane that she had to delete all of her social media.

And instead of speaking out against all of the blatant bigotry thrown her away, Disney chose to remain silent and even decided to write her out of The Rise of Skywalker. That’s why I’m not surprised that some people want a repackaged version of The Acolyte without Osha and Mae.

And it also doesn’t escape my notice that those same people want a version of Qimir (played by young, handsome Asian man) that strips away his sensuality and vulnerability. Two things that we — the audience — would never have seen if it weren’t for his relationship with Osha.

She is as vital to his story and character arc as he is to hers, but these fanboys don’t think villains should be allowed to be human and complex.

They don’t think women—especially women of color—should be main characters, much less morally grey ones. They don’t think Asian men should be allowed to be seen as seductive and provocative. They don’t think Queer people and other marginalized people should be seen at all.

"at least bring back qimir!"

erm...

i saw people mentioning that if the acolyte is gone they "at least want qimir" to be brought back into something in star wars... like a show where he's the main character and osha is no longer relevant and tbh i don't really get that take. why a show focused 100% on him? what purpose would it serve to remove her? who would that make happy? (btw, the answer is racists + misogynists)

qimir's story and osha's story are intertwined now. i understand that we want to know his backstory (of course!) but if the acolyte were to continue then surely we would have gotten to know more about his past (and how darth plaguies ties in) regardless. you wouldn't need to erase osha and mae to see more of qimir. he's obviously not just a side character anymore.

the second season was supposed to have more of the stranger anyway — think of the implications of the last couple shots of osha and qimir holding the saber together. joining one another. it's about the two of them now. seeing how her story plays out wouldn't take away from his.

i'd kinda rather not get a second season at all than see them erasing osha/mae from the narrative for no reason other than to appease assholes. it's so messed up. love manny jacinto an insane amount (INSANE AMOUNT), but some of the things that some ppl are saying are lowkey fucked up and if you took a second to think about it maybe some of you'd realize :/

cus it's weird! it's weird that you'd be chill with them getting rid of osha! it's weird that you're saying you'd be fine with that erasure! it's weird because it wouldn't even benefit the story or add to it, you'd just be removing a part of it!

and why is she the part you're okay with kicking and forgetting about? rethink that. bc it's just weird.
