One thing I appreciate star wars for always showing consistently is that 95% of all Jedi can't help but be good.
Like this isn't a matter of just being a good person or being trained to be a good person. They literally cannot help but be compassionate and caring. Even when they are doing wrong things, like in acolyte, it is still out of good intentions. It was a huge misunderstanding of course, but they just want everything to be good, which is an unrealistic goal and sometimes that results in bad things because of point of views.
But I can appreciate the fact that not a single fucking Jedi in the entirety of star wars wasn't good when presented with the opportunity. (Pong krell does not count and he can suck my dick) They simply couldn't help it, as the grand inquisitor says in Kenobi. The smart thing would be to not be involved, but even when they are being ACTIVELY HUNTED, They cannot stop themselves from butting in and helping others. Obi wan tried , but ended up helping, Cal tried to hide, ended up exposing himself to save someone, Ezra and Kanan, Ahsoka, Quinlan voss, and these are just the main people , who knows how many other survivors tried to help and ended up sacrificing themselves just so like 3-4 innocents could live. They didn't do anything on a grand scale, but those little acts of kindness probably helped hope from dying out completely.
The Jedi are the literal embodiment of hope and goodness and I fucking love that. Despite everything, and all the defamation palpatine did, the people still considered Jedi good.
Like you know shit is bad when even the criminals are like "the empire is had for business, the Jedi were better"
And i appreciate it. The galaxy is a harsh place, and so is the real world. So it's wonderful seeing a faction that is just good. Sure they made mistakes with Anakin and some other times but like that's upto the people imo, not them as a whole. Where there is pong krell, there is also mace windu, there is also obi wan and Yoda .
And I appreciate them for showing this consistently. Do they make mistakes, yes everyone does. But they were completely finessed by palpatine into losing their way and they STILL managed to do their best.
I am a proud Jedi sympathiser and will probably be executed for that in the empire.
Do better.
Here’s the truth: every right and freedom you have today exists because people before you got involved in politics and fought for them.
They went up against unfair systems that didn’t, and still don’t, want us to have rights.
Rights are fought for, not given.
When you say, “I’m not political,” you’re showing you don’t understand where your freedoms come from.
You’re also showing that you're fine enjoying the benefits of activism without helping out.
It is time to step up.
Let’s do better together. <3
The baby girl without a chance A victim of the circumstance The one who ought to give up But she's just too hard-headed A single mom who works two jobs Who loves her kids and never stops With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter I'm a survivor
students (mainly slytherins) who come from dysfunctional families and see severus as a father figure so they send him letters/drawings on father's day and he can barely hold back his tears in the staff room
I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but no one in an active war zone is wasting their time fighting for survival by making dozens of burner accounts to anonymously spam tumblr user’s ask boxes with gofundme links.
Can someone please tell me when I'm going to start liking Emmet again? I can't imagine it, but I know he and Bay will probably get together again soon.
How do you even begin to forget and forgive everything he's done? I really liked him at first, but he just went downhill from there.
He kissed Daphne and never told Bay.
He treated Bay horribly when he was mad about her meddling. I get that he was upset, but seeing it from her perspective made it so frustrating. Cut her some slack! I was already annoyed at him and than BAM!
He cheated on her and then acted like everything was fine.
He played the biggest victim, and the other characters encouraged it—"Poor sweet Emmet, he's so sorry."
He suffered no real consequences. The contrast between how people treated him vs. how they treated Simone was wild. He was back to being friends with both siblings within weeks like nothing happened, while she was ostracized. Pure misogyny.
He acted insanely jealous of Bay’s only friend at school as if she didn’t already have enough problems.
And now he’s acting all sad because he doesn’t want them to be just friends?
I wanted to grab him and throw him into a river. The audacity, the nerve. If he can't even be her friend after everything HE did to her, at a time when she's already overwhelmed and just wants a friend, then he doesn't deserve to be in her life at all.
I read so many things about the gay context and undertones in The Picture of Dorian Gray... Why were you all lying to me? It is just text plain and simple. I thought Basil was pretty upfront with his feelings for Dorian from the beginning and now I just read pages of him confessing his undying love and devotion to Dorian himself. How is that context, undertones or whatever words people are using to describe this clearly homosexual novel?
We don’t talk enough about how fanfiction writers love to give character large amounts of non-specific paperwork they hate doing
The Israeli government yesterday approved a proposal to intensify attacks on Gaza. The military has called up additional reservists.
On Friday morning, the Conscience aid ship was bombed in international waters off the coast of Malta. A fire broke out on board, forcing the crew to issue a distress call.
The attack was reportedly carried out by drones. Israel, which has previously targeted similar vessels, remains silent.
At least 30 Palestinians were killed just yesterday.
In Khan Younis, one family lost eleven members, and another lost four. A baby died in a tent. At Rantisi Hospital in western Gaza, a baby girl, Janan Saleh al-Sakafi, died of hunger and dehydration. She was only a few months old.
Since the start of Israel's total blockade in March, no humanitarian aid has entered the enclave. At least 51 people have died solely from malnutrition.
UNICEF warns that 335,000 children are on the brink of death. Children search for food in the garbage. Yesterday marked the 60th day since the last grain of rice entered Gaza.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, wrote on X:
"[They are] scrambling for food as if they were gasping for air, grabbing it from filthy grounds, getting hurt while seeking a hole in the human flesh, amassing for a handful of emptiness? People of Gaza. Palestinians. Your hunger is our shame."
I’m so Lesmand pilled how do we get more people Lesmand pilled? Do I have to literally go door to door with highlighted passages from TVL and ask if they’ve accepted Lesmand into their heart as their lord and savior??? Because I’ll do it.
He was a man written by a woman, unfortunately the woman was Sarah j Maas
One cool thing about being asexual is that your self worth is completely independent of how attractive you are. I don't have to give a single shit about whether there's anyone on God's green earth who wants to fuck me because there's not a single person I want to fuck. I'm free. I'm also hot as fuck but it's completely irrelevant. It only matters to the extent that it lets me get away with not caring about how I look
