i’ll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucas’ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, i’ve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, “his main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.” that fucking rules. george lucas could’ve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, that’s fucking exquisite. if you don’t think that premise is inherently entertaining you’ve got no taste
having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps
by which i mean, like, here’s how my brain parses the steps in making coffee
good day:
- make coffee
regular day:
- put water in coffee maker
- put coffee in coffee maker
- turn on coffee maker
bad day:
- take pot from coffee maker
- turn on sink
- fill up coffee pot
- turn off sink
- pour water into coffee maker
- put coffee pot in coffee maker
- open cupboard
- get coffee filter from cupboard
- get coffee beans from cupboard
- put filter in coffee pot
- measure coffee
- pour coffee into filter
- close coffee maker
- turn coffee maker on
anyway this is a “14 steps to make coffee” kind of day
This is actually a really good way of explaining this

Nell saving her siblings.
#have I ever discussed my feelings about the different ways nell touches each of them#how she touches Steve—constantly skeptical constantly intellectual—on the forehead#Shirley—angry and sad and desperately in need of gentle affection she can’t accept—gets her face cradled#Theo—for whom touch has done so much damage to her ability to be open—gets a grasping hand#and Luke. Luke her twin her other half. Luke gets grabbed with such strength and such ferocity#Nell doing this one last thing to prove to him she believes in his ability to keep going#her face is serene in every shot except his. for him she feels the pull to stay echoing in her own heart#it’s a twin thing after all#so she fights so much harder to yank him back to reality#it breaks me every time how even in saving them all Nell tailors her action to each sibling specifically (via @novelconcepts
want to make a post abt the pregnant 18yr old member of my tribe being found dead on Thanksgiving Eve but I dont feel like yall ignoring me while you repost generic links to Indigenous organizations you have no intention of donating to.
Her name was Jalajhia Finklee & she was a Mashpee Wampanoag. Tomorrow is going to be a different kind of pain for our tribe. Pray for us.
kind of shocked at how many people are responding to this so I’m adding a link to the gofundme made on her loved ones behalf. Please consider donating to a grieving Wampanoag family this Thanksgiving. 🤍🙏🏽
