star wars opinion
Ep VIII was actually bad imho because they completely downplayed Finn.
They nerfed him from potential Jedi to ineffective comic relief, gave him an unclear growth arc where they swapped out a potential Queer on-screen relationship, subservient to the stronger storyline of Rey trying to redeem Kylo and only kinda sorta succeeding, and Rose stopped him literally from saving the day.
I know they were trying to do an Empire like thing where none of our heroes win but all of them achieve personally significant stuff, and we sat through two previous trilogies full of Lucas trying to write really great stuff and being a little too clumsy to stick the landing, but it still didn't really come across and making the Black dude ineffectual is such a stereotypical movie thing you know?
part II the STUPIDERING!
* but I mean I have pickled herring and dill, that's KINDA like having kladkakka, it's Scandinavian right?
* yes but that's not 2001. 2001 are Americans, Trek is the Scandinavian social democracy future
* which is weirdly inverted for a series about Kirk going different places to get into fistfights
* man I really don't like when artists make orc girls just pretty green girls with li'l tusks, there's gotta be a way to draw/paint somewhat nonhuman features with bigger tusks and still have that read as feminine.
* currently re-imagining the Frank runs laps, Dave draws sequence in 2001
* with "Autumn" from The Four Seasons instead
* wooo, suddenly space is all comfy
* hygge
* perhaps later would be a good time to go to Byen Bakeri
* but definitely not now. Not only would that be profoundly unsafe, they're only now starting to prep for opening later so showing up at them would just be rude AF
*and also I'd have to put on pants
stoned thoughts
propose that furry characters' breasts be referred to as sweater [appropriate young animals]
and thus the equivalent of sweater puppies are sweater calves, sweater joeys, sweater hatchlings, etc
unless the character is some sort of golem in which case [is baked enough to be laughing about "over the shoulder boulder holders" when that is in fact, not a colloqialism about boobs but about bras.]
stoned thoughts, "racism"
just wow, everything I was ever taught about ethnicity (I really don't want to say race, because that concept's a complete fabrication) went right through my PTSD filters and came out as a "how might I be affected by someone thinking this person's better than me?"
I mean this is way better than believing in some sort of bullshit superiority crap, but it's still shitty to carry around.
would you like to hear a little story?
have you all been good boys and girls?
animals came from miles around
so tired of walkin' so close to the ground
they needed a change, that's what they said
"life is better living on two legs."
But they were in for a big surprise,
'cause they didn't know the law, AND THEN

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
