quixotic chaotic

Some guy in an avengers Tshirt I just met at a coffee shop: so who’s your favorite superhero?

Me too exhausted to explain there’s more than one Robin: Batman

Guy: oh! Did you watch the Joker movie? It was surprisingly good for a DC film haha

Me: yeah it was something

Guy: you know they really fucked up on Justice League, but I’ve got to say Wonder Woman was better than Captain Marvel. Like, we get it, “yay girl power.” That’s great but it was so over the top. It totally ostracized half of it’s audience.

Me: wow really

Guy: yeah. You know, you seem pretty chill. Maybe we could hang out sometime and watch some decent superhero movies? You know, Marvel movies haha

Me: i never asked, who’s your favorite hero?

Guy: Iron Man. Like Batman but richer and cooler haha

Me: you know, Batman’s rule? No killing?

Guy: yeah?

Me: i have no such rule. Lindsey, I found another one. My usual, please

Lindsey, the barista: *hands me my sword*

Guy: wow that’s a poor replica of the God Killer blade, it should have more- *beheaded*

Me: thank god that’s over

Lindsey: yeah. Hey want to watch Birds of Prey with me sometime?

Me: oh? You mean like as… a date?

Her: well yeah… is that okay?

Me: of course it’s okay! all this time, all these years, i never knew you felt that way

Her: i don’t keep a replica of Wonder Woman’s sword under the counter for just anyone

Me: i never thought about it that way

Her: *writes her number on the forehead of dead guy* text me ;)

This is gaining notes faster than I thought so either we all know the same annoying guy or this is just what y'all think romance is

twitter user @ likewatercress speaks the truth

It still makes literally zero sense that Rey can understand Wookie.

also Pablo Hidalgo’s TFA Visual Dictionary

Lets just be honest here for a moment, people hate on Rey simply because of her gender. 

Anakin, a mere child, pilots a Starfighter and blows up the Droid Command ship while more experienced, adult, pilots die around him,

Fanboys: Yes, completely believable, he has the force,

Luke pilots a Starfighter and blows up the Death Star while more experienced pilots die around him.

Fanboys: Yes, completely believable, he has the force.

Rey, alone and with nothing better to do, uses an old computer to teach herself how to understand alien and droid languages, and how to fix and repair machinery.

Fanboys: What is this Mary Sue bullshit? Who the fuck is Rey? Just an SJW character so that the females can feel empowered. This is completely unbelievable. Fuck Rey.

Their BS is ridiculous.

Yup.

My group of friends has been watching the movies together in a lead-up to TLJ. One of them really dislikes Rey. Not to the point of swearing about her, but he thinks she’s ridiculously unrealistic and whatever and he can’t stop telling you about it whenever the movie is mentioned.

During Ep I, we got to the battle at the end. Analog blew up the command center. I said, rather calmly and to the group as a whole, “Ten-year-old boy, literally the chosen one from a virgin birth, accidentally gets into this battle and blows up the ship, but Rey is the unrealistic one.”

I wish I had a picture of my friend’s face. Dude has yet to come up with a response.

“All these girls dressing up like harley quinn now with suicide squad being popular, I bet they don’t even read comics”

Yes. Comics. The comics that harley quinn originated in. Harley Quinn, original comic book character. Comic books, the only medium Harley Quinn has ever appeared in, comics, nothing else. 

For those who aren’t in on the joke, Harley Quinn is what TvTropes refers to as a canon immigrant. This refers to a character, who originates in a different medium, that eventually makes it back into the original. Harley does not come from comics, but instead originated in “Joker’s Favor,” an episode of Batman: The Animated Series. In fact, Harley’s first comic appearance didn’t happen until a year later (September 1993 in The Batman Adventures #12).

So if someone complains about you or someone else dressing up like Harley and not reading comics? They’re the one that doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

And for the record, not only does the argument that trans people wouldn’t exist in a typical Dungeons & Dragons setting because body-transforming magic is readily available badly misunderstand what’s involved (hint: it ain’t just about genitals), it doesn’t even accurately characterise the game.

The specifics are naturally going to vary depending on what edition you’re playing, so we’ll go with 3.5E for the sake of argument:

1200 gp may not look like much for an adventurer, but when you consider that the average wage for a skilled labourer works out to about 2 gp per week, that 1200 gp represents eleven years’ gross income for a typical commoner.

That’s pretty far from “readily available”.

(But, of course, you’d know this if you weren’t a fake nerd boy.)

My favorite one is, “come on Star Wars be original,” as if putting a man in the lead would be cutting edge stuff. Anyway…

Oh yes

It must be so annoying

When the leads of many different movies

Look exactly the same

not only do they look the same BUT THEY ARE ALL NAMED CHRIS

I’M FLIPPING THROUGH THIS BOOK OF OLD STAR WARS TRADING CARDS AND.

MARK HAMILL LITERALLY JUST ADMITTED THAT LUKE IS GEORGE LUCAS’ SELF INSERT. ITS CANON.

“my character was really george”

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, “REY IS A MARY SUE” NECKBEARDS?

I’m always amazed when people don’t realise that a character called Luke S. is a self insert by Lucas.

Deadpool. Isn’t. A. Hetero.

“Deadpool is as straight as a pole in a strip club.” 

Yeah, okay, buddy. Have you ever actually picked up a Deadpool comic? 

all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber

I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows

leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.

The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”

Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”

Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.

“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Because girl.

“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

fake geek boys

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”

“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

fake geek boys

this post is golden

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive 

Who TF thinks Leia isn’t force-sensitive???!?!?!??!?! It’s literally right there, in the original trilogy. She has just as much Force as Luke. I don’t necessarily think she needs to develop it, really, because she is just as badass as a General/politician, but she certainly has it.

I think she has developed it. Just not by following the path of the Jedi.

One of the things I think Star Wars should explore goes back to “Bring balance to the Force.” As much as the prequels sucked, what they did give us was the Jedi being messed up.

The Jedi having degenerated into this dogmatic, insular mess of repressing emotions at all cost.

They misunderstood the prophecy. Anakin did bring balance to the Force - by destroying the Jedi. Oops.

One of the things we see in the new movie is the character of Maz Kanata.

She is clearly Force sensitive. She is clearly not a Jedi.

Leia - strong in the Force, not a Jedi. Because she knows she can do more good for the Light as a general and politician - that’s where her skills are.

Rey is going to be a Jedi. She’s probably going to be the one who works out how to bring them back without it happening all over again.

But what is Finn going to be? There’s pretty solid evidence that Finn is Force sensitive.

Will he be a Jedi or something else?

Will we finally see that there are many ways to use the Force.

“That’s not how the Force works.”

Isn’t it?

Anakin joined both orders, Jedi and Sith, to learn how to protect what he loves, and then he burned both orders to the ground when they wouldn’t let him love.

The Jedi rejected love as being insufficiently selfless; the Sith rejected love as being insufficiently selfish. Anakin brought balance to the Force in two steps, tearing the dogma of each to the ground around him, for love.

The balance point of the Force is love.

Luke uses it, guided by love, to be a warrior, knight, and teacher.

Leia uses it, guided by love, to be a stateswoman, general, and visionary.

Rey and Finn will use it, guided by love, to be whatever they want to be.

The imbalance was everyone, Jedi and Sith alike, who sought out children, took them from their lives, and told them, because you have this power, this is the life you must lead.” Balance means keeping you life and keeping your loved ones, and letting your heart show you the proper path.
