Absolutely Love How Every Self-respecting Latino Despises With All Their Souls The Word “Latinx”,

what gets me about the padawan haircut is that there was absolutely no precedent for it in the original trilogy which means that george lucas just wanted to do that to ewan mcgregor

STAR WARS + Ponchos

PONCHO — an article of clothing of ancient origin, a sleeveless garment with unsewn sides and a space for the head to pass through, with origins in Latin America along the Andes Mountains. Having been worn by their people for hundreds of years, the poncho is closely linked to Mexican culture and considered an iconic Mexican symbol. The style then was adapted as rain gear, made of a waterproof material, and often hooded.

I think an underappreciated element of Leia's character is that even after days or weeks of ruthless interrogation interspersed with torture, she still had the presence of mind to identify a feature of the Stormtrooper who barged into her cell that she could mock.

A lot of you on here feel waaay too comfortable admitting that you don't and refuse to listen to rap music, and I'm not loving the incredibly reductive takes on rap because the kendrick/drake beef has it on some of yall's radar for the first time in your life.

I'm not going to sugar coat it-- for americans especially, if you consider music a significant interest of yours but still feel the need to search for acceptable reasons to keep yourself ignorant of black music, or think of rap as a monolith of hate and violence and not equally as diverse as any other genre, or can only name nonblack rappers… you should be embarrassed of that. And your embarrassment should not keep you from being active about exposing yourself to unfamiliar art and broadening what you listen to.

'I don't understand what they're saying/they rap too quickly' I'm surprised by how much I keep seeing this-- speed is not a stylistic trademark of most rap music, & clearer diction as a performer is much more necessary in rap than other genres?? Statistically rap has a lower bpm (here's an example of one person's study) average than other genres. (of course these aren't all-encompassing, but you can look into this yourself using sites like bpmdatabase.com.) Do you really feel overwhelmed by speed listening to Kendrick or Biggie or Nas or 2Pac, or have you never actually listened to their songs?

'I have to look up the lyrics'-- so what? is it a bad thing to take an extra few seconds to engage with an artist's work? If you listen to lyrical music, do you care when it's the artists you listen to? Why does the thoughtful art consumption everyone talks about not also apply to black art?

'there is too much violence and misogyny and commercialism' this is not unique to rap, or true of all rap music. Artists exist that talk about other things, the way they exist in all genres. There is an entire wikipedia page listing alternative hip hop musicians and rappers if you consider seeking it out too much labor. Click one!

'i find it unrelatable'-- who cares? Being unable to engage with art you don't find wholly relatable is a deeply childish and self centered way to exist. You get on here reblogging feel good navel-gazey posts about the shared human experience and caring for one another, but a rapper talking about living with violence or poverty is stretching the limits of what you can imagine or empathize with too much for you to care about it? You don't find that embarrassing to admit to?

You don't have to love rap, you don't have to incorporate it into what you listen to every day, but a lot of you need to be aware you're parroting reagan era anti-rap (& antiblack) pearl-clutching talking points, and it's a very ugly look. It isn't racist if your favorite genre isn't rap, but you need to do some serious self reflection if you consider it inherently less artistic, intelligent or positive than 'whiter' genres when you don't actually listen to it. I am looking at you, people into other counterculture genres-- it's crazy how much I see this from self-professed punks and metalheads especially lmfao. If expression, counterculture art, anti-censorship in music and the right for raw and unfiltered music to exist matters to you as much as you say you do, you should care about rap's relationship to censorship & fight for its legitimacy just as much as what you listen to.

[id: it’s a drawing of Luke and Leia, both depicted as Blasian with brown skin, based off the Hildebrant poster. Vader’s mask, which is done in a blue hue, is in the background along with the vast expanse of space and stars, and a large star is reflected in one of his helmet’s lenses. Luke is holding Anakin’s ignited lightsaber above his head, illuminating both him and his sister, and he is wearing his white tunic and grey pants from a New Hope. His hair is brown, curly, and sun bleached. Leia stands just beneath him, wearing her white dress and holding a blaster pistol in one hand. She is depicted as hijabi with her white hijab being done in buns on the side of her head. /end id]

y’know i’m all for shipping whatever pops into your deranged litte heads (affectionate) but you gotta accept that there’s people out there who are extremely uncomfortable seeing their favorite characters in a romantic and/or sexual context

what i’m trying to say is,

1) don’t mock people who’d rather go the platonic relationship route and

2) please tag your posts appropriately

thanks!

"the revenge of the sith refers to the jedi getting killed off" "the revenge of the sith refers to the corruption of the jedi into a wartime institution" "the revenge of the sith refers to the fall of the republic" NO. NO IT DOESNT. the Revenge of The Sith(TM) refers to Darth Revan's Single Attack of Perfect Golden Rotation, wherein she threw a seemingly careless blow that circled the universe for three thousand years after her death and then finally struck home to eliminate real mandalorian culture from the face of the galaxy once and for all through the sterile, uniform, and faceless ranks of the clone army. the clone army of the republic is Revan KOTOR Star Wars' checkmate against the lifesoul volkgeist of Mandalore and its insidious, wretched adherents. The clone army DOES NOT have mando cultural inspirations not just for lore reasons, but because there exists a deep subconcious desire within all sith to bring the destruction of the children of the resolnare which is their predominant heroic trait as a quasi-religious ideology aside from HRT That Makes You Evil and enthusiasm towards cybernetics.

Darth Revan Single Attack Theory is REAL and it could be coming for you.

uncritical support for the original kryze regime for trying to put all of mandalorian ""culture"" in a museum (where it belongs) - a thousand deaths upon the journeymen and the reactionaries behind the reformist tripe supercommando codex and unlimited genocide upon the clans! may the sons of Myth, demons of hell that they are, be stricken from all records and have their names be forgotten forever!
