i also made a monster bingo card if you're into that kind of thing

also also i tag a lot of nonsense as putting my blorbo in situations

they introduce cassian andor and it’s like this man has a missing sister, a dead planet, and the biggest saddest brown eyes you’ve ever seen. he’s killed two guys sort of by accident but this is also kinda par the course for him. everyone in his town kinda loves him and kinda wants to shake him down for coins. he treats his droid like a person. he’s a mommas boy and a terrible boyfriend. some guy halfway across the galaxy is dying to meet him. and it’s like cool that is my best friend i would protect him with my life hope nothing terrible happens to him in the ensuing months of his life.

the rapid disintegration of rainbow capitalism pretty much encapsulates the problem with rainbow capitalism in the first place: it is and always was performative fair-weather allyship that evaporated in the face of any real political pressure

Problem? It was never a problem, unless you had unrealistic expectations for what it meant. It was a symptom, and a good one. — Be strategic and think about this deeper for a minute.

It was absolutely performative fair-weather allyship. But it was a bellwether that the pink dollar was worth taking over any hypothetical backlash a business might face for supporting the queers. For some, and at some times in the past, it was a reassurance that they would do business with you even if they knew you were gay, and that was a huge issue if you eg. wanted to buy a house or a car. And it helped make queerness both more visible and more normalised in society, instead of trying to sweep teh gays back into the closet.

You’re not going to get rid of cynical cash grabs so long as capitalism is around, so you might as well be clear-eyed about it and recognise that while rainbow merch is totally unreliable for actual support, it was a sign that the smart money was betting in your favour.

You can always trust a business to find a sort of middle space that's vaguely agreeable to most of its customers and sit there avoiding all controversy in the absolute most craven and soulless way possible.

This means that a business is in fact a very good indicator of what's vaguely agreeable to most of its customers and what counts as controversy.

Don't think of them as allies. They aren't people. They can't be. Think of them as a barometer. If the barometer is up, you've probably got sunny skies. When the barometer starts dropping, prepare for heavy weather moving in.

The Omega Protocol

When a Jedi padawan is jailed, Fox knows it's time to enact the Omega Protocol and get the Guard off Coruscant and as far away from the Republic as possible. Only maybe there's someone else who'd like to go along?

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

my fav genre of fanfic is "ship i have not ever considered but the author is insane abt it in a way that intrigues me immensely"
