cherik is so wicked coded

like of course this gay person who has always been different and has had a harsher life than most meets this other gay person who has always had it good™ and they quickly overcome their differences and become lovers friends

but the second an important politic stance needs to be made in order to protect the oppressed the person who has always had it good™ hesitates to stand with their lover friend and ultimately attempts reconciliation with the norm and hegemony parting with their lover friend but not successfully suppressing their conflicted feelings about them

who am i talking about

Okay something I never figured out about Civil War is why Peter is on Tony's side beyond manipulation.

Tony very much manipulates Peter, despite Peter being excited to go. He does insist that he Can't travel to Germany, and the big change in opinion is when Tony threatens to tell Aunt May, to which Peter visibly reacts with a sort of desperation. I'm not saying he isn't excited when he's actually there, what with filming a video diary, but the fact remains that he's WAY out of his own depth.

But the thing is... Peter is like, technically a mutant right?

Under the rules of the Accords, his status as a mutant would HAVE to be disclosed, publicly. So, if his side is successful, he would be legally required to register his identity and ability. Or maybe Tony would have to.

It's also super messed up that at the end of Homecoming, Tony arranges a press conference when Aunt May STILL doesn't know Peter's identity.

Tony literally blackmails Peter with his identity to get him to fight for a cause that will expose his own identity? It's just not sitting right with me, I don't know if maybe I missed something.

i think that Thomas being into Alison is really creepy, like he has on multiple occasions told her to kill herself so they can be together

I’m interested, what are your unpopular Ghosts opinions? Feel free to put them here or submit them to me anonymously, I don’t mind!

Imagine being 22 and there was an evil wizard confirming YES your best friend is secretly trying to get with your girl, all your coworkers secretly hate you and are plotting against you, and all of your loved ones are going to die in vague horrible ways at an unspecified time. Now imagine Jar Jar Binks trying to get a pack of gum he got stuck in a vending machine.

Obi-Wan sometimes forgets that Anakin and Ahsoka are not younglings anymore.

Like, during the war, when it just started and he and Anakin were only getting used to it, Anakin would often fall asleep while he was writing reports. And Obi-Wan would just pick him up to carry him to his room and Anakin would wrap all his limbs around him and cling to him like a monkey.

When Obi-Wan picks up Ahsoka for the first time, she sprawls all over him and snores into his neck.

And he gets some side-looks at first, the clones are surprised to see such displays between their Jedi. But Obi-Wan just smiles and keeps going, shifting Anakin a little so his neck won't hurt when he wakes up.

And then he starts doing it to the clones as well.

One day he randomly found a clone sleeping in the hall and picked him up, armor and weapons and all, and brought him to the barracks. The men who were there at the time almost fainted when their General strolled in casually and asked where was their brother's bunk.

No one believes them then they later speak about it in the mess hall.

Cody almost has a heart attack the first time he sees it happen. Like, this is his superior officer, his General, the High General of the GAR and the member of the Jedi Council carrying one of his man bridal stile!

It was pretty early into the war and Cody was serving under Obi-Wan's command for only a couple of months, so he was absolutely certain he would hear at least some comment or even an order to punish the man. After all, he must have fallen asleep on duty.

But there's nothing.

Obi-Wan didn't even mention it. He just smiled at the clone the next time he saw him and asked if he was getting enough sleep now.

It just keeps happening. The war is ruthless, after all.

Obi-Wan carries Anakin, Ahsoka and the clones all around the ship to get them to comfortable sleeping places. Everyone get used to it fast. Some clones even make it a competition to fall asleep in the weirdest places to see if Obi-Wan would find them.

He does, every time.

The clones get comfortable around Obi-Wan very fast, seeing that he's not exactly what the Kaminoans promised them the Jedi would be. Sure, he's calm and wise and very nice and absolutely terrifying with his lightsaber but he's also kind and warm and friendly. They joke with him, even tease him. He smiles and returns the favor. And then Wooley accidently calls Obi-Wan 'Dad' after receiving an order.

Anakin thinks it's hilarious and teases them both. Until Obi-Wan reminds him how he called Master Yoda 'Grandpa'.

That shuts him up.

But soon after, Obi-Wan randomly drops adoption papers on the table in the middle of the briefing and says that he signed them already and everyone who wants can do the same, they just need to write their name in and it's done.

That's how he adopts the whole 212th except Cody, who looks him dead in the eye and asks him out.

He says yes.

And since the 212th now are considered Stewjoni, the rest of the clones get the citizenship automatically as they're all family.

Anakin sulks and doesn't talk to Obi-Wan for a week until a very confused Ahsoka asks him why.

"No, I'm very glad that our men have rights now, but he didn't even ask me if I wanted to be adopted too! I didn't even know the Jedi were allowed to do it."

"But he adopted you like, ten years ago?"

"WHAT"

"Oh, he asked me a few weeks after I became your Padawan if I wanted to become your sister too. I said yes, by the way."

Which leads to this-

"Why didn't you tell me you adopted me!"

"But I told you, remember, after our second swimming lesson?"

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING"

all it takes is one gay ass cherik moment for me to be kicking my feet and giggling as if i didn’t post about wanting charles to die 12 hours ago

Pro sports would be way more interesting if the athletes had to actually be from the area their team represents

a ryan bergara biography

So you guys know how the Jedi Order is filled with people from pretty much every world and species? Think about all the unique cultural things the Jedi would practice simply because the Order is basically a giant melting pot.

A Kalikori made out of Akul teeth, passed down through a lineage and carved in multiple different styles to represent the cultures of each of the lineage members.

Different Jedi taking inspiration for their cultural face tattoos from their Togruta master's lekku or their friends' facial tattoos or the designs on a Council member's cultural headdress.

Recipes that are fusion foods made of like five different cultural dishes because a group of friends all got drunk together, got the munchies, and fucked around in the kitchen until something tasted good.

Like, just everyone sharing their cultures with each other and then people adapting their cultures based on their lineages and the shared culture in the Order, shared culture being a form of expressing love and adopting someone into the Order/a lineage.

Obviously there would be things that are off limits and permission would have to be given and the Jedi would probably emphasize learning the culture before ever adapting it, but I just think that after thousands of years their would be a lot of shared culture among the Jedi.

Oh, and languages! With how many languages are probably spoken in the Order, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jedi basically spoke bastardized versions of every language mashed together---it'd probably be an always moving/changing/evolving thing that no one but the Jedi can understand because the Jedi use the Force to bridge any gaps there might be in someone's understanding.

A lot of words and phrases would be taken from Dai Bendu, just because it's my personal headcanon that the Jedi still speak it, but then it would branch out from there into Twi'leki and Togruti and Durese and everything else all mixed together.

I just...I love the idea of the Jedi having a mixed culture that reflects the diversity of the Order.
