You were seventeen the first time you realized you were in love. You and Steve had scraped together enough pennies to see a picture. It was Romeo and Juliet. You were mad because you couldn’t understand a word of it, even madder because what you did understand was just plain stupid. But by the end of it, you realized that there was someone in your life you’d die for, and he was sitting right next to you.” – excerpt from Hard to Say by bettydays

Teenager 2000 : I love you
Teenager 2015 : I want to fuck you

teenager 1854: the government cut off my hands because i stole a piece of bread

Teenager 1354: all the townspeople are shitting on themselves and dying

Fuck i love a good historical joke

The fact that we’ve already gotten to the point where people think that things were more innocent in the early ‘00s makes me feel like I’m typing from my deathbed.

I was a teenager in 2000 and there was absolutely zero difference except I think 2000’s teenagers actually made somewhat more aggressive sexual references and dropped way more slurs to boot.

I was 15 in 2000 and I said both “I love you” and “I want to fuck you,” and I gotta tell you, the first one screwed up my life a lot more.

FWIW I would read that Rey/Kylo fic. And am so, so sick of the way fandom treats him, not because I really like him that much (though I would like to know more about his backstory which is apparently the same thing?) but because… people aren’t mocking him for being a murderer or a patricide or working for a genocidal regime? They’re mocking him for having feelings, basically, and his being a bad guy is supposed to make that okay.

star-anise:

YES YES YES.

Actually?  They’re mocking him for being unmasculine.  And okay, the beauty of Kylo Ren in the movies is that it takes souped-up hypermasculine rage and shows us that in reality, it’s not all badass and fearsome–in reality, it’s infantile and pathetic.  So I love that!  It’s what canon portrayals of MCU Loki really lacked.  Whereas TFA went out of its way to show us stuff like the two Stormtroopers figuring out Kylo was having a tantrum and backing away slowly.

But you solve a problem like Kylo Ren by leaning more into his feelings, by helping him figure out what’s really bothering him and addressing it.  Whereas I feel like if he just “manned up” and was all stoic and badass and had no moments of weakness, fandom wouldn’t be nearly so critical.

And okay okay I get that humour is how we deal with discomfort and problem spots and it’s a legit coping mechanism for people BUT WATCHING THEM DO IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL.  

Because everyone would like to say that he’s whiny and like a teenager who doesn’t appreciate his loving parents, but, well… we all KNOW the Jedi’s approach to emotion and attachment is fucking toxic!  Luke could handle it, but Luke reached adulthood before he lost his loving and stable caretakers.  And Han and Leia are great people but seriously, I grew up near an Army town and most of my friends were Army brats, it is a known fucking fact that even if great people are fighting for the noblest cause in the world, if they have to raise a child in an environment of chaos where parents are at frequent risk of disappearing or dying and nobody prioritizes the child’s emotional health, it will have consequences.

a special request from @linmanuel (x,x)

Ah-thank you.

ATTENTION @echolalaphile

Fun fact: @echolalaphile and I met when she spent a month of her freshman year in college teaching my sixth grade class Twelfth Night and making me walk around with fruit cups on my head (I played Olivia, and had a big black velvet dress that I had to wear through the lunch line during dress rehearsals once and a Kindergartener gasped and asked if I was a princess. I told them I was a Countess). Fourteen years later she stage managed my wedding.

Complete with run sheets. ❤

i have now rewatched the orig trig of star wars as well

I have thoughts:

  • man the dialogue in Return of the Jedi is sometimes so awful that you cannot help but laugh
  • Speaking of RotJ, how terrible was Palpatine’s master plan with Luke??? Like….it was first be evil with us so cool then it became be evil by killing me i win hahaha and then it was actually that was a stupid plan kill him so good and then it was like FUCK ALL OF THIS
  • And, like, I really see the family resemblance between Luke’s Super Awesome Plan Skills and dad’s. Sure, let’s just pick this lighting porcupine fartsack up and, yeah, throw out the garbage. This is directly related to Luke’s plan of ‘let’s just walk in on jabba and then get captured one at a time and then more captured and then demeaned and captured all for my CUNNING PLAN OF HITTING EVERYTHING NEARBY.’
  • also I got the impression that the ewoks were actually not included in the planning stage of “attack the force generator” because (a) they weren’t and (b) everyone was under the impression that han’s group would do the trick because of Evil Plan Reasons. And yet somehow the Ewoks had an incredibly Home Alone arsenal of trickery without the Setting Up The Trickery montage. What gives??
  • Did people really like ewoks when this film came out? Like, deep down? Or was it just Lucas and his militia teddy bear games?
  • You know what I love about the Jabba sequence in RotJ though? I love how many alien races are sticky or drippy or just downright disgusting to look at. The way planets get blown up in this series, whole species probably come and go and then have to find a way to breed or at least to live and it’s so cool how weird they can get.
  • all of han’s plans seem to be pretty legit, comparatively. I mean, he’s trying. He makes the effort to talk to the dude over the intercom or try to bargain out of things and then there’s Luke over there swooning around being like I AM A DANGER TO EVERYONE I LOVE, I SHOULD PROBABLY DIE and people have to keep being like FINE, LUKE, BUT ACTUALLY COULD YOU MAYBE MAKE ONE OF THE OFFICIAL MEETINGS, WE HAVE A REBELLION TO RUN HERE.
  • Also the way he swans in like I TOO SHALL JOIN HAN’S TEAM, YAY TEAM, EVERYONE HUG ME
  • Also I feel like maybe he and Ben still chat and Ben is the one who convinced him to grow his beard. Not, like, cool Alec Guiness beard, but full on Ewan I-make-my-own-lightsaber-noises MacGregor beard, the kind that looks like someone pulled the stuffing out of a teddy bear on glued it to their face because they wanted to look like a grown up.

This is all true
