love is friendship set on fire

btw, on the personal note here, and i know this has already been discussed, but you remember that 'i'd rather be in the forest with a bear than a man." yeah...

last night i was coming back from work, late. one of my colleagues gave me ride down town to catch up night tram, so i was waiting there but about 4 other people and this men just kept walking back and forth and he was looking at me. i was in my uniform, and i'm used that people just look at me while i'm wearing it, but he was looking at me and looking at the trolley bag i had with me. now, he walked up to me and said "do you need help with that?" "no, thanks." "it just it looks heavy, i can help." "it's not. thanks but no." now, keep in mind it's like 1am. he could be a thief. he could be on drugs. he could be a perv. i'm keeping it cold but polite because i really don't know how he is going to react. then i see it clicks with him. "i'm sorry, i just wanted to help, sorry about this." and he walked away on the other side of the platform. we get in the tram, i go on one end, he goes to the other. i'm silently praying he doesn't get out on the same stop like i do. he didn't. i walked home and i just kep thinking, maybe he really just wanted to be a good guy and help but... don't men really understand that this freaks out women so much? alarm bells ringing pretty much immediately? and yeah, i don't think they get it.

i feel kind of bad for people that never watched, or just never got into, star wars rebels and the clone wars. i think at this point those two shows did become kind of mandatory watch to really get what is going on in the star wars universe.

and i don’t say this in some kind of derogatory sense, like that people that watch those shows are better - nah. some people just aren’t that into star wars to watch it, some just don’t like animation but it is interesting to see people reacting to the kenobi trailer and you see the divide between: “oh, look cool bad guys with red lightsabers” vs. “i identify this character as grand inquisitor and this is the fifth brother and they will die in rebels 5 years from now”. 

you could’ve already saw it with ahsoka, bo-katan and cad bane in the previous shows and it will be interesting what it will do with sabine, ezra and thrawn in the ahsoka show. i mean, of course, they’ll have to re-introduce the characters precisely for this audience but i still have my boyfriend’s face in front of me when i complained about the ahsoka design in the mandalorian and he said: “yeah i went on wikipedia to look her up, because you didn’t shut up about it, and the article was like 5 meters long so i closed it.”

so question: can we fastforward through 2021 to 2022? i’m asking for a friend

i kinda wonder if ryan bergara watches things like the haunting of hill house, murmuring to himself: “i wish that was me”
