At least it looks like Skywarp's having a pretty good time (besides the whole messed up warping situation,) meanwhile Starscream is just perpetually stressed the entire time lol

Not true! Starscream's getting along with some of the guys!

Starscream's got intel, and Prowl wants to hear it. Finally someone who takes Starscream's conspiracy board seriously!

Wheeljack woulda got along with Starscream, because Wheeljack believes in giving everyone a second chance. Plus they can do science together! (Tho wheeljack's still like, dude really uncool of you to shoot skyfire that one time :/)

Also I think the Aerialbots would think Starscream is cool, they are essentially younglings and don't know a lot about seekers, since all of the Autobots are either grounders or civilian class flightframes. It would be neat to hear about Vos and other aspects of Cybertronian life from a different perspective I think.

I just want you to know that I was rereading the PDMDZS comics yet again, and I finally caved and watched Legally Blonde because you're like a puppeteer that draws things and I'm like "well, guess I have to see it now." Now, after watching Legally Blonde, I must tell you that Elle Woods is love, Elle Woods is life, Elle Woods is everything to me. Elle Woods would have been able to save Wei Wuxian from the Jins all while looking sparkly and fantastic as she does it. (Obviously with her hype girlies in the background)

Her power and influence know no bounds!

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.

To this day I still think arc 2 is one of the best deconstructions of a traditional fantasy's "happily ever after" I've ever seen.

By the end of the arc, the queen you spent all of arc 1 travelling to is dead and leaves her beloved son an orphan; the main couple who exchanged heartfelt "I love you"s has to rebuild their relationship back stronger after major cultural/interpersonal clashes; the different groups who came together to win the day likewise have cultural differences and integration can be a bitter, beautiful, bloody process, culminating in a civil war; the father dubbed a villain by his son saved his life and hundreds of others, and the sister he clung to / tried to save and excuse is now someone he believes he has to kill / the certainty he'd found is now in shambles; the mysterious big bad is still mysterious but shattered, and will return to haunt you again and again; the child king cracks and crumbles under the weight of his crown and his losses and, like everyone else, just manages to come back from the brink; no amount of love can save someone who doesn't want to change, and sometimes you can't save people precisely because they have; you cannot save everyone, and sometimes you won't even try to.

imagine, say, Bunnyx went back to Origins Season 1 and pulled Gabriel aside as he was considering picking up the Hawkmoth mantle and showed him, "Look, Gabriel. If you continue on this path, you WILL succeed in getting the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculous. You WILL make a wish. But getting there will tear you apart. You will lose what humanity you have, you will literally rot away from the inside, spend the last months of your life in agonizing pain, Nathalie and Adrien (the only two people in your life you can even pretend to care about) will spit on your name and Nathalie will grow to despise you so much she will attempt to kill you. And your wish? It will NEVER bring Emilie back. You won't even be able to bring yourself to do it, because you'll realize that you've become everything that she hated and never wanted you to be. Emilie WILL STAY DEAD, and in the end, all you will be able to wish for is an end to your now-miserable life. All this gamble will win you is your grave."

idk I just don't think Gabriel's response to that would be "oh yay! I win!"

how i won the war

[austronauts]

my dear siblings in arms last night we gained an unlikely but welcome ally for the mitch marner defense squad

he showed up in a cloud of mist then leapt into hand-in-hand combat vs. the leafs uncles who want to do a variety of things to mitch, ranging from cyberbullying him out of town to "healthy scratch[ing] him for 2 months so he wants to leave" (an actual idea someone thought to post publicly).

without further ado, i present: [cue gladiator soundtrack] Jfresh.

some additional observations:

if u look at the timestamps for these he was fully in the trenches battling from 3pm-1am.

his calm replies make the uncles look even more obtusely deranged than they already are

he may be doing this with the ulterior motive of trying to get mitch on the penguins and honestly....let's fuckin go

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.

Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.
