I've started watching Rebels with my housemate and the moment they found out Zeb's full name is Garazeb, they've been calling him Gary for short. Consistently. It's so funny oh my god. Kanan, Hera, Erza, Sabine, Chopper and GARY

who wants to see my google doc of all the queer characters in star wars that i spent probably too much time making?
absolutely losing it at the polar opposite perspective we get on darth vader during rebels. kanan and ezra encounter him and there's a dramatic lead up to the cameo and they're like "who the FUCK is that???". they fight him and lose terribly. at least until they drop several tons of heavy machinery on him. but then he survives! and then they're like "if that won't kill him what can?!" "not us. let's go!". there's no drama, no extremely emotional dialogue, no agony over the man he used to be and the monster he became. just "hey what is that? a SITH LORD? that sounds like 1-800-NOT OUR PROBLEM!!!" and then they go back to doing whatever they normally do

I think aspec people in fandoms should be allowed to complain about how much of fandom is about shipping and I don't think it has to be taken as an attack on people who do enjoy shipping. I'm not really in any fandoms so I don't have a lot to say but often I think about how yeah shipping can be an interesting way to explore the characters but at the same time if the only value you see in a story is making characters kiss that's kind of a shallow way to enjoy it. At the end of the day there is a healthy balance
having a favorite flower is so so important because then when you see one growing anywhere in the world you will feel that someone planted it there just for you to see and love and adore. and they did :)
Kanan will be proud of you. Yeah? Well, he has a funny way of showing it, considering he's never around.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way
"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "this is a valuable exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that we’re conditioned to recognize only in romantic relationships but that can exist platonically as well" way
my good take is that i honestly think people give thrawn entirely too much shit for “good day lieutenant vanto”
i'm sorry but this is making me really upset!! i'm tired of seeing people pick and choose which of his autistic traits are "virtuous/cute/quirky" while demonizing the ones that they see as getting in the way of their ships. i can't tell anyone what to do but can i gently suggest that people take a moment to think about this
