Glass Onion Parallels (insp)

Because I ALWAYS assign colors to my mutuals in my head and want to know if other folks do this too I have a game:

Reblog this with the color you associate with the person you reblogged this from. 

Did someone say it’s Spider-Man Day?

Pedro Pascal by @werfenton

I thought this city would be a perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, life’s a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you.

Charlie Cox accidentally violated Superhero Club Rule #1 [x]

Quick reminder that Luke had about five minutes of training with a lightsaber and NONE of it included actually fighting against an other opponent. Remember Ben sparring with Luke? Nope. It was just him playing around with a robot that tased him

Do you remember Yoda sparring with Luke? Nope. He was teaching him about the Force but we never saw him ONCE teaching him how to actually fight with a lightsaber. Luke had precisely ZERO experience when it came to fighting with a lightsaber.  And yet none of you said anything when Luke actually kept up with Vader and later on actually defeated Vader

Rey on the other hand spend her ENTIRE LIFE defending herself with her staff. She is very well versed in fighting with a melee weapon. But when she fought against a HEAVILY INJURED Kylo Ren you immediately cry Mary Sue and unrealistic.

Think about that. Think about what this attitude says about you.

Also an important thing about fight choreography:

A great deal of thought was put into that scene, particularly Rey’s fighting style. She may seem pretty well adapted to lightsaber combat, but in reality she struggles a lot during the fight. 

This is a character who has trained exclusively - as far as we know - with a quarterstaff, which is completely different from fighting with a two-handed weapon. Form, stance, strategy - you name it. And this is actually quite apparent in Rey’s choreography for the first half of the scene.

She starts attacking Kylo Ren with these jabs that would probably crack his ribs if she were wielding her quarterstaff. But since she has a brand new weapon in her hands, the strikes are completely ineffective. 

But that’s what’s so amazing about this scene. Rey adapts. She’s analyzing Kylo Ren’s form the entire time and she’s learning how to apply it to her own fighting. When she uses the Force to help her focus, she overcomes the translation between one style of weapon to another and secures her victory.

Rey is the first character we’ve actually seen learning how to use a lightsaber against another opponent. And we see it happening in the middle of a fight.

Just finished three new rabbit masks. These will be in my shop as soon as I get some decent pictures.

So remember how I said I was going to focus on one thing until it was finished? Well.. this guy wasn’t exactly on my to plush list, but when your super awesome nephew asks for something, you can’t refuse, right? Exactly.

I have never seen a full episode of Adventure Time, it’s not really my thing, so I was working from google images for this lil guy, and let me just say I really hate how the millions of pics of this guy are all bloody different. :/ In the end I just picked one image and went with it and I think he turned out sort of cute, especially given the fact this is not really my style, plus I managed to get him done in a single day! In the end, its new owner seems to adore it, so that’s all that matters, really. <3

Anyway, now I am back to my regularly scheduled Plushing List and hopefully by this time next week I shall have my first poseable plushie done and dusted. I’m just revamping his sneakers and coat and trying to figure out how to do his glasses..
