Girl finds out the book is not as good as the movie and is fucking devastated. Rethinks life. Fuck you mean "neil looked at todd angrily" He has never looked at that man with anything but pure awe and admiration as if todd himself hung the moon and stars in the sky. Neil looks at todd like he holds the world in his hands he looks at todd with the eyes of a newborn baby deer are you insane.

I just wanted to see Anakin mispronouncing Thrawn's name and Vader in a Tie Defender. 😩😭

[pastel-beez]

So, I've been working on something *really* silly and fun, and I wanted to see if this was just a fever dream or not lmao.

Feedist visual novel???

the way teru was introduced proclaiming himself as the ‘main character of this world’ because he was the most powerful person he knew until he met mob. and mob was a threat to him and ultimately to this mindset so he tried to take him down. but even when mob collapsed teru didn’t win because mob refused to fight him and so teru couldn’t prove power to power that he was “better”. instead, when ??? came out, teru was stripped to his core and shown that he was ultimately unimportant in this world.

and in the most recent episode this entire situation is flipped. teru has entirely shunned his old philosophy because mob taught him that he’s not all-powerful, he’s just an average guy. that’s his new identity. but his new philosophy where he chooses to prioritise saving people over fighting back is the most main character thing he has done in the series. teru is yet again broken down to his rawest, but this time, he wins.

You know one of the biggest differences I've noticed between the original trilogy books and the new Ahsoka show?

In the books, absolutely no one knew who the kriff Thrawn was.

Pellaeon's still adjusting to a new commander, who he follows loyally, but doesn't 100% trust until book 2. The Republic doesn't even learn his name until the end of book 1, and they're still debating whether he's an actual Grand Admiral or self-declared through book 2.

All of the Thrawn's threat - all of his menace to the New Republic, all of his weight as an antagonist - are discovered by the reader at the same time the characters are finding it out.

It's the perfect balance of showing and telling - we get to see Thrawn gain victories by being clever, with Pellaeon. We get to hear about how nervous he makes Karrde - a character we've learned is brilliant and menacing in his own right, and makes our heroes nervous, so how much more must Thrawn be? We get to see him make brilliant deductions and turn up just in the right place and the right time to corner our heroes, again and again.

The Sluis Van attack buildup was perfect - we keep hearing about from Pellaeon, hearing that Thrawn's planning an attack and Pellaeon himself is a bit skeptical, but it's coming, how's it going to work? What's going to happen? Meanwhile the mole miners were stolen, and there's this new cloaking field, and how's it all going to come together...?

And suddenly Han's there, with Luke and Lando, and Wedge, and we're waiting with baited breath because we know it's all about to fall apart but how are our brilliant heroes going to get out of this one?

It's an amazing buildup, fantastic suspense, and really brings home the different perspectives of the characters. And establishes Thrawn as an actual, major threat, that everyone should be worried about.

But then in Ahsoka, it's like they've skipped straight to the Duology, when everyone knows who Thrawn is because he almost conquered the New Republic. But he hasn't done that, in canon, so we're left wondering why everyone's supposed to be worried when, as far as we've seen, he couldn't even beat Phoenix Squadron.

Heck, setting aside our own out of character knowledge, it makes Xiono look right. Who cares about a single Imperial warlord with a single half-destroyed ship? What's this guy actually done?

We know - those of us who know his story. But it's not shown. Why should the characters think him a threat? Why should we?

After all, all we've seen of him is Rebels. And in Rebels... he lost.

My thoughts on Baba is You.

I think this title should stand next to Stephen's Sausage Roll by how they've both shaken the puzzle game genre in their own unique ways.

While TSP and TBG are known as meta commentary on the games, Baba Is You does so through the basic mechanic of the game. I haven't seen many puzzle game titles before it that would make the rules so breakable yet still so logical. You can't make contradicting statements or imaginery rules but you're given such an arsenal of choices to make and try out, I don't think it's a problem for anyone.

And unlike many other titles here, you're supposed to both learn and forget your experience. Every world is based on a new mechanic that gets introduced but the way you perceive it is supposed to constantly change.

Baba is You but You aren't Baba most of the time. Yet still, Baba is within you one way or another.

I think what we as classic whovians need to do is we need to take a page from the trekkie book. we need to throw more parties. we'd be normaler and have more fun around big anniversaries if we had more random holidays a la first contact day, captain picard day, threshold day etc etc.

"But OP, doctor who is so fast and loose about time, we can't even agree on the UNIT Era decade, much less-" Silence. we can beat the shopping rush for star wars day (singular) if we make up a collective four related mania to contract by 04/04. i want there to be huge statues being put up in the time square next time july 6th android invasion comes around do you understand me. make feburary 29th a day themed around watching shada they both Exist around the same amount. under my presidency we WILL break peoples dash

I support the "Batman was unfairly biased to Stephanie for XYZ reasons" crowd so strongly bc DC claims that Bruce is a master planner who is able to understand anyone's psychology but he didn't realize that literally every single one of Steph's problems as a teenager would've been solved by her joining a shitty punk band. If he couldn't figure that much out then he didn't understand her for a minute
