#i guess it was just this ep that had me thinking that

What makes you enjoy slave Leia so much? Merely a strong woman in a humiliating, revealing costume, or is there anything more to it?

Slave Leia fixed me.

I don't think I have a lot to say about it that isn't obvious, since I'm kinda stupid. But it's more than just a strong woman being put in a humiliating revealing costume.

First is the in universe concept (uh, I guess, spoilers for like a forty year old movie). It's not just that Leia is captured and put in the bikini. She's captured while in the process of thinking she can be strong and capable, that she can save someone. The outfit and voice changer she used while trying to rescue Han covered up her sex and her weakness. The contrast with that is immense. And when she's caught, people *laugh*. It's a big *joke*. It's not a serious she did a good try but jabba's crack team of security were better. It's like a surprise prank that they all pulled on her. Compare the defiance from when Vader first captures her on the blockade runner in EP IV, when she is strong in the face of capture after a battle well fought, to the face she makes when jabba catches her. No defiance. Just embarrassment, disgrace, weakness, confusion, stupid girl. Sorry I'm kinda masturbating while writing this.

And then she is stripped and put in a tacky bikini with arm bands and hair bands and a collar and leash. Fine. But she is exposed in front of Luke. The one who she was trying to be all tough girl equal around in EP IV and v. He is calm, composed, powerful, which just makes her weakness and stupidity more evident. Of course she couldn't save a man. But one could save her, at the price of seeing her stripped down to a waist and pair of tits.

And that's edge edge that's what brings this into the real world. It completely destroys Leia's character for the entire series. Ask any man who's watched star wars to describe the most iconic scene for Luke and it's idk his training with Yoda or his blowing up the death star or whatever. None of them will say him shirtless and weak and vulnerable in the bacta tank. But ask the same question about Leia and you will get one answer. If it had been her character from the start it wouldn't wreck me quite so much. But it isn't, it's two movies of.building her up as a badass strong independent woman and then haha no you stupid girls who thought this universe took you seriously this is how everyone sees you. The fact that it took away and overwrote and deleted and replaced oh god everything that she did in the eyes of the male audience the film was marketed.to edge is she's literally on a chain looking up at the guy she was pretending to be an equal to just like how I have to be lower and beneath and

And on top of all of that was Carrie's discomfort real world with how revealing the costume was to her professional colleagues it's literally wear this bra and skirt with no panties in front of people you pretend edge are workplace equals wet and pose while kneeling in it for the official promotion materials bark and inspire generations of girls to think that when they attend conventions about their hobbies they should dress up like subservient edge sluts and pose in huge undifferentiated groups for photos and anyways that's part of why I like slave Leia so much thanks for the ask.

Okay, collected my thoughts and saw some memes, ready to present: season 3 episode 8. Spoilers below !!

Right, off the bat, I have to admit I wasn't really happy with this one. I knew there had to be at least one, but ough. This was not enough to chew on until next week.

I'm happy Phee's back!! I just wish she had done more. Happy to know she thought of Tech as (her) databank though!!!! That was kinda cute, like he reminded her of stuff :(( adorable.

But!!! I kinda assumed that with Fennec, Bane would show up too?? Bit disappointed because now it means we have ANOTHER bounty hunter episode- which is, like, fine. had this one gone better.

I miss echo.

The banter between Wrecker, Fennec and Hunter did make up for the lack of.... usual pizzazz, I have to admit. Fennec was ruthless 💀 she had myself and my mother appalled (especially when she closed the ramp while Hunter was Still Standing on it. Like. Girlboss but oh????) I did enjoy the broke joke 😭 the section was good, just.. a bit lacking??

Maybe I'm being picky with it. It didn't feel very story driven (considering it's the last season I thought they'd truck along with Wolffe's story and have more results quicker?)

The little moments with Crosshair and Omega are cute, I'm glad they're healing after Tantiss :( Crosshair scrunching up while he says he's fine really got to me, poor dude has Seen Shit. i hope he talks to someone about it :(

But, again, i felt it was lacking?? Like, it was great that they had that moment, but did it... really need a whole episode? Especially, again, during the Final Season?? I just think it's something we as an audience could enjoy brainstorming, and give the actual show the stage for plot point development, idk

Going through this ep and then thinking about the next few ones, I'm worried. We're halfway through the season and things have been a bit.. too calm. The double ep we got last week was pretty action packed(albeit during the second ep, first one was mostly build up)

which I'm scared is gonna end up being the case during "Identity Crisis" and I really hope that's not what happens!!!! I want them to be independent episodes, not one building up to the other. Again, I'm being picky with it. I'll enjoy it anyways.

But, seriously, this episode wasn't NEARLY enough for me to chew on until next week. I'm gonna be over it by tomorrow, when I run out of memes to look at (and I stop obsessing over the Minute Long Scene with Phee.) Which is a bit disappointing, but I'm holding out hope for next week!!!

Anyways thats my two cents, let me know what you thought !!!! :))

No matter how special it is, a kid's lunch is still just a kid's lunch.

I dunno, I liked "The Genius Restaurant" (Episode 1,089).

Happy (belated) birthday, Jimjam.

[frogmaestro]

i watched the newest ep. of neverafter this morning and this thought has been plaguing me all day:

im connecting the dots guys. im connecting them

[cinnamonsikwate]

watching the first 2 episodes of frieren last year shook me so bad i still can't get myself to continue it, but between what i remember of it and the nightmares episode of dungeon meshi i can't stop thinking about the ways laios would prepare marcille for his death. what would he leave behind to remind her that he (and by extension all the people she loved and who loved her) are still with her in spirit, even if not in body?

Tam and I decided. We're going to try learning more about each other.
