Star Wars + flyboys ☆-(◕ω◕✿)

K2SO to cassian after discovering a protocol that states friends check up on one another -

lmao harrison ford was very open about his dislike for star wars and no one batted an eye, but now that john boyega’s contract has ended and he’s allowed to speak his mind, people are calling him “unprofessional” just because y’all don’t necessarily agree with his opinions?? y’all love to laugh about how much robert pattinson hates twilight but now when a black man jokes and talks about his own issues he had with a project he’s been a part of for years (after dealing with direct racism from fans, his character and story line getting shafted, etc) it’s suddenly an issue?? hmmmm………

Something I noted in my reread of mockingjay is the reference katniss makes to hiding away and watching a spider spin its web instead of doing the practice drill for bombardment like the rest of 13.

This may be me overthinking it to hell and beyond but, Robert the Bruce - a Scottish king who killed in a church and had his wife and sister stolen from him with brothers murdered- fled to the Scottish islands because he didn't know how to continue the fight for freedom he was given. He didn't start it, he almost inherited it (technical details not withstanding). It is said when he was hiding in a cave, he saw a spider spin its web again and again after it was destroyed. This encouraged him to return to the fight before thought hopeless and gain a victory that overcame a borderline dictorship(squint a little because kings always kinda feel dictor like but works for the analogy).

Katniss is in an impossible situation. She had to persevere an impossible situation that has played out before and been crushed (Wallace rebellion = dark days) and now has to be the figurehead to do it again. It is after this point in the book that katniss fully commits to being the mockingjay and playing the part.

Felt neat

Leia is over your shit, Poe. 🔪🌟 In light of all the bad, we have Leia in Ep 9 to look forward to. I doodled this as therapy.

rip finnick odair you would've loved dressing up as percy jackson for Halloween

thinking about how some things remained in panem and some didn't.

They burned books in the dark days to stay warm. How much knowledge is lost? Do they know the sun is a star?? Do they know about quarks? do they know about dinosaurs???? did they rediscover all of this???

GODDAMN IT SUZANNE I NEED TO KNOW

my girl is a #real hater

beat ya their up there laughing because they got to see them filming the series before we even got to see the teasers <3

there's something really emotional for me about the Percy Jackson TV series

When my brother died and I lost alot of him, I found an absolutely destroyed book which I didn't even know the title of because the front pages had been ripped out and the cover had fallen off. The first line was "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood".

My brother had three pjo books - the lighting thief, the sea of monsters, and the battle of the labyrinth. I consumed those books looking for my brother, but when my mother bought me new versions, including the titians' curse, which explained a lot I didn't know before, I found my favourite series instead and a feeling of being seen with the whole adhd and dyslexic thing. I stopped looking for him.

But when I think about it, I did find him. He had Percy's sarcasm, Jason's sense of honor and doing right (I know he's HOO but he counts and I love him), he definitely had dyslexia but the jury's out on the ADHD, Chiron's knowledge from experiences none of us want to live through but want the lessons from, Classrie's fight and anger, Annabeth's real-life intelligence and street smarts, Tyson's unwavering devotion to his sibling (s in my brother's case), Luke's rage at the system, Bianca's unfair lot but determination to make life the best it can be for their younger siblings.

My brother died at 14 in 2013. He never saw me even hit double digits in age, never saw me go to university, never read Heroes of olmpus. But he's here, I think, in some small way.

Now, ten years from when I lost my brother, there's a TV series of what was his favourite series and mine. It's like reading the books for the first time again and finding my brother again.

my kitchen pipes are fucked and so I have to clean all my dishes and clothes in the bathtub and I honestly feel like either a miner's widow in D12 tryna earn some income or a very poor sentient who's in the rebellion and showing everyone how to make do without electricity
