SUNDAY = WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING

On one hand I’m super excited AND IM TRYING ON WEDDING DRESSES

But I’m starting to get extremely nervous, I’ve always had a love hate relationship with my body and I’m worried I’m not going to find anything that makes me feel beautiful and confident 😭🥺

Just realised I've been living out of my winter woolies cupboard for the past 4 months and autumn's just starting.

Seeing all these people making posts on "ooh, i feel cold, have a woolly jumper, autumn's finally here 💕"

Meanwhile I'm here like, "spring is half a year away, when there's a 50% chance it might start to get warm but at least the evenings will be getting lighter again. Kill me now."

The thing about Commander Cody fans is that they will see a Cody that is five pixels max and experience shrimp emotions

It's me I'm Commander Cody fans

Everyone’s talking about Ezra reuniting with Hera or Zeb or meeting Jacen but no one has considered my need to have him reunite with Hondo, who would be the happiest to see him out of everyone

Hands down one of my worst experiences in high school was when the seniors decided to extort the entire school by using tactics that were banned by the UN to get them to pay for the senior party! If that sounds like a wild sentiment stay tuned because this shit got crazy.

I was living in Arizona at the time and I was a freshman. Our campus was largely open air, with walks between class room buildings and some covered outdoor tables. Our event began with a morning announcement. The seniors were collecting donations for the senior party, and when they reached their goal, their fundraising method would stop.

Their fundraising method:

To pipe the entire schools speakers with "If You're Happy and You Know It" on loop. To this day, I cannot hear this song without experiencing a degree of rage and madness that is frankly alarming. One of the worst parts of the entire thing was that the recording they chose had the female singer do a little clap and say "Yay-ha-hey," at the end. So it wasn't just the song, it was this awful little cooldown stinger at the end.

If this sounds a lot like psychological torture you'd be extremely correct! This practice has been banned in some countries, but the good old US hasn't ruled it a human rights violation, and what a fun silly way to raise money, that definitely wasn't damaging to adolescent psyches!

Every morning for 15 minutes before school began, every passing period, every lunch, and after school for another 15 minutes they blasted that fucking song on unceasing repeat through every speaker in the school. Everyone found different ways of coping with this and mine was to observe my classmates descent into madness and categorize the stages.

The first stage was almost completely consistent, and it was a smug almost exasperated eye rolling phase. Often accompanied by derisive comments about the song or the tactic, this phase was extremely mildly annoyed. Most people figured it would blow over soon, and no one anticipated this continuing for a week and a half, creating a miasma of fraught tension.

The second phase was elevated annoyance, starting to snap and be less amused characterized this level of irritation. People would try to cover their ears or put on headphones, humming aggressively to block out the syrupy repulsive children's performer with her loathsome little clap. This phase had people picking their absolute least favorite part of the song. Her inflection on certain words, her timing between verses. I think it's pretty clear already which part I hated most.

The next phase was a bounce back out to absurdity. It became funny how annoying it was and people would sing along as if to challenge the song's authority over their psyche. This paired exceptionally poorly with people in phase two as they'd often lash out at the people giving more voice to their hell.

The fourth phase was a dead-eyed madness. People would stare straight ahead and their lips would silently mouth the familiar words. The song had pounded its way into their very soul and was inextricably linked to auditory output. They often didn't even realize if they began chanting along.

The fifth and final phase was pure uncut pubescent rage. Kids would scream, attack each other, and in a truly epic end to the event hurl a cafeteria chair with such force at the speaker in the cafeteria to irreparably damage the sound system.

The seniors got funding for a party, but some of it had to go to repair the damages, which were substantial.

you can't tell me this isn't what he said

[hurricanek8art]

I think my favorite thing about the episode is that he hasn't changed.

I wasn't really worried they'd never find him or that he was dead (though I'll admit a brief moment of unexpected fear that Howler was going to lead Sabine to a gravestone hit me while she was talking to Thrawn) I was always worried that he would have changed. That the years would've hardened him. Made him cold and unhappy and bitter because bloody heck it took ten years. He's already spent so much of his life alone, and now he's been trapped in another flipping galaxy for a decade!

But then Sabine found him, and he's grinning, and he's joking, and he's happy and alive and he still can't wait to come home because he's still Ezra. He's still Ezra. And somehow he's been adopted by hermit crab harfoots because of course he would be, he's Ezra Bridger and he's alive and he's still the same dorky good kid he's always been except now he's all grown up and I'm just very emotional about all this, okay? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Ezra's coming home. Ezra's coming home.

update: jacen wearing a replica of kanan’s armor has destroyed my very being

[legobenkenobi]

i have so many thoughts about an Ahsoka and Obi-Wan age swap, but a some of the key aspects of their story stay the same.

Anakin being Obi-Wan’s master, but Obi-Wan is still the one to confront him on Mustafar. him getting knighted in every timeline based on killing a Sith but this time instead of killing the Sith that killed his master, the Sith would be his Master- Anakin after he fell.

Obi-Wan spearheading the rebellion.

Ahsoka being on the council and STILL getting arrested for something she didn’t do. her leaving the Order because people who she’s known her whole life and worked with turned their back on her even though she was one of them

her escaping Order 66 and thinking Obi-Wan- her grandpadawan with the snarky remarks and the terrible mood and a bright future- was dead and then finding out he’s not dead but it’s maybe worse what he went through. at the hands of her padawan

AT THE HANDS OF ANAKIN. WHO SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS THE ONE GOOD THING THAT CAME OUT OF HER JOINING THE JEDI.

and the possibilities for codywan in this au…

Cody being a young clone who’s first mission is when Order 66 comes through, but his chip died when he got the head injury that gave him his scar which means he’s the only one that doesn’t turn on Obi-Wan.

neither of them know what happened except that they’ve lost their families and can’t trust anyone but each other.

Rex being Cody’s older brother. picked him up off the ground when he got the head wound and followed him through to recovery… and then to find out Cody’s with Obi-Wan, Cody saved Obi-Wan…

Sabezra fans, gentle reminder. There's nothing wrong with still shipping them.

Rebels started with Sabine seeing Ezra as nothing but a kid, eventually leaning toward a brother. We still shipped them.

Sabine and Ketsu called each other sisters - People still shipped them.

They're not blood-related. It was ONE line spoken by Ezra to Sabine, who he KNEW didn't like him back. Possibly just to make her feel better.

We all knew full well he had a massive crush...

My personal hope is we're going to see Ezra and Sabine have a kind of role swap. Sabine is the one pining for Ezra while Ezra is the dense idiot who can't catch on.

The way Sabine acted in these two episodes was full of subtle hints that there's something more going on underneath...

But either way. If Dave wants to go the route of Sabine and Ezra having a more best friends/siblings dynamic then sure. Idm, but I'm not going to stop shipping them.

Good Morning.

Remember what they took from us.

[rebelwrites]

Honestly it just feels like I’m on annual leave 😂 think this will take a bit of time to sink in that I’m actually self employed now

[lyriumrebel]

Getting a tattoo of the letters BTS so people will understand my deep love for both BTS the band and also Bildad the Shuhite

[kaxtwenty]

Being a SW fan who prefers Rebels over TCW sucks because even when we get stuff it’s entirely filtered through projects that appeal mainly to TCW fans.

I mean for fuck’s sake a TCW character got to be the main character of the Rebels sequel.

Props to Jacen for making the typically comedic "I have a bad feeling about this" bit shatter my heart completely
