Common Things You Learn To Do When You Have A Sibling

I started reading Naruto fanfiction again and the words “ya know” have been violently re-added to my vocabulary.

To be completely honest one of the things I was most devastated about with Damian Wayne’s whole new consume and identity is the lack of stylish boots. Like, 12 year old me saw those boots and thought “yeah those are lit” and you know what? 12 year old me was right, those boots were, in fact, “lit”

But now I’m looking at his new consume and all I can think is that would be such an easier transition if they left the boots. They were fashionable as fuck and it’s a true travesty they’re gone.

Have you noticed that the fan art for L Lawliet and Jeff the Killer looks startlingly similar at times? Because I have, and I have not known sleep for days.

So I’m rewatching the Mandalorian and can I just say that even from episode 1 din is just such a dramatic bitch? Like, there was no need to wait until Horatio had gone downstairs and was looking at of all the other dudes submerged in carbonite that had been Din’s bounties. Din could have straight up just shoved him in but he chose not to and like, he’s just so iconic?

Finally started reading Eden’s Zero and can now say with the utmost certainty that Rebecca has something that Lucy should have had all along... Fucking guns. You do not understand the sense of euphoria I got from watching her pull out some guns and just shoot some motherfuckers. Like, it was almost therapeutic.

To be perfectly honest, I really wish Rey had been like, Obi-Wan’s granddaughter or something purely because of the potential fights Anakin and him would have gotten into because of it.

Like, it could range anywhere from “my grandchild is better then your grandchild!” To “so no attachments huh?”

Just, imagine how salty ghost Anakin would be.

We were robbed goddamnit.

Maleficent and The wings symbolism

-Warning!- mentions of rape

Anywho, so I know I’m far from the first person to think that Maleficent’s wings were probably an allegory for purity or whatever. But last night I was thinking, if we apply that lens to the entire movie, then it suddenly becomes a far less wholesome story, and not just because of the rape elements. 

Because here’s the thing, Stefan drugs Maleficent and takes her wings while she’s sleeping (ie. raping her) and then she wakes up and finds out what happens when he’s already long gone. 

If we continue then by that logic then Maleficent becomes the scorned woman, evil and mad. This paints a pretty awful image already of what they might have been trying to say. For example, Maleficent was good until she lost her virginity (aka her purity), then she became evil.

And if we continue further, it gets a lot worse. Because the only reason Maleficent becomes good again is due to her maternal feelings towards Aurora. And like, one of the only reasons that women aren't demonized for having sex (willing or otherwise) is when it’s done for the purpose of reproduction.

So technically, Maleficent only gains her wings back because she gains her purity the only way a woman who’s no longer a virgin can, by becoming a mother.

Note, I do not like the way the movie is read if we apply this lens at all.

Batfam Lightsabers

Here’s my take on the lightsaber colors of the Batfamily. This is purely opinion so please don't take it too seriously. 

Bruce: Purple, I feel like he’s constantly walking the line between light and dark and his lightsaber would reflect that.

Dick: Blue, he’s hyper focused on physicality so this would reaffirm that. He’d be a knight for sure. (that doesn't mean he isn't smart!)

Barbara: Yellow, she’ll always be oracle to me.

Jason: Red, he’d be a darksider but not a Sith, you know? Like, he’s an angry individual but also not evil. 

Cass: Orange, she’s highly skilled in combat but she’s just a genuinely peaceful person.

Tim: Yellow, this color was made for him and you can not convince me otherwise. An entire faction that depends on tech just as much as the force? Sign Tim up.

Steph: Pink, I have no idea why it just seems like something she would do. Just get the rarest and most misunderstood lightsaber color like it’s no big deal.

Duke: Green, he has powers already so I feel like that would transfer over to him being more focused on the force and stuff.

Damian: White, he’s constantly being pulled between the light side (his father) and the dark side (his mother). His lightsaber should reflect less of a struggle and more of neutrality.

I hope that if they end up recasting someone for season 3 they get an actress that’s buffer then gina carano if only so when Din and Cara meet up again he’ll just be like

“You seem a little buffer”

and that’s it, no other acknowledgement, just thinks her muscles are larger.

I don't know if someone’s mentioned this yet but has anyone compared how the hijab is treated in real life and how the Mandalorian’s armor is treated in Star Wars? From people trying to forcefully take it off to see what’s underneath, to people saying that they are being brainwashed for wanting to wear their collective head covering.

I don’t know, it just has some parallels that are interesting to think about.
