hey again. my friend who is sponsoring shahad, a 21 year old pregnant woman trapped in rafah, has created this gofundme specifically for her. PLEASE SHARE AND DONATE IF YOU CAN!
“that and the non-binary lesbian aunt thing, i love that stuff too,” chris pine says, as he is actively dressed as a non-binary lesbian aunt. i love him.
btw i’d just like to add something else to this: a lot of people are acting like this is SOLELY steven’s decision, but shane & ryan are grown men who co-founded this company. steven might be THE ceo, & maybe he had more pull, but shane & ryan are sitting on that couch, too
okay SO:
-they apologized for how they delivered the news & for the minimal explanation of why they were making the change
-content will be available FOR FREE on youtube a month after being uploaded on watcher tv
-they expressed how grateful they are for the fans
just found this post sara rubin (shane’s wife) put on tumblr. i haven’t seen a SINGLE person say that they hate this idea bc they don’t think people deserve to be paid fairly. this feels like a guilt trip and like words are being put in our mouths :/
thinking about how mark hamill was jealous that leia and han had their own themes and he didn’t so he went to john williams to ask about it and john williams was like “mark, your theme song is the main title omfg”
wild how watcher seems to think the best way to handle this unmitigated pr disaster is to just maintain radio silence until the heat dies down. i propose, watcher fandom, that we don’t LET the heat die down. this is ridiculous, we deserve a response from them.

i am experiencing a new type of pain watching this now—leia was saved by ben kenobi once before so ofc she trusts luke as soon as she realizes ben is there to save her again—
this watcher stuff is wild bc i think many fans would agree that we didn’t follow them from buzzfeed expecting some huge, high-budget, high production tv show levels of content. we followed them because we wanted to see more of THEM. all we wanted was them.

ahsoka: his attachment to you makes him vulnerable to his fears. his anger. i’ve seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained jedi knight.
the entire fandom:
ok i’m sorry to continue talking abt this but “for those who want to continue watching” feels spiteful & weird to me bc we all WANT to continue watching, but we CAN’T all AFFORD it. idk the phrasing of this feels weird

luke making grogu choose between training & din is literally a direct parallel to the decision he made back in esb between finishing training or saving his friends. what i’m saying is luke knows exactly what he’s doing and this is a learning moment for grogu
the way i’ve been deep diving into the entire watcher situation the last 24 hours is wild but apparently variety wrote ANOTHER article today about the massive backlash—apparently they reached out to watcher to ask for a comment and got no response

about to replay the absolute hell out of the scene where obi wan says “i’m looking for my daughter” bc idk i am mentally unwell
like god forbid your audience have an actual valid criticism of the way you handled a business decision! just make them feel bad by implying they said shit that a majority of people did not say!!
it’s physically impossible to put this man in front of a camera and not have him throw up a peace sign and i greatly respect that. he’s just like me fr

YALL WHAT IF AT THE END OF THE SHOW IN THE FINAL EPISODE AFTER SAM HAS TAKEN HIS SHIELD BACK THERE’S A MOMENT WHERE BUCKY SAYS “LET’S HEAR IT FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA” WAAAAH WHAT A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT THAT WOULD BE

no bc how did some people watch this moment and come to the conclusion luke is a bad teacher… HE GAVE HIM A FIST BUMP HE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER
ik ryan & shane are many people’s comfort guys so wanting to place most (if not all) of the blame of steven saves our perception of the ghoul boys, but they’re apart of this decision, too. don’t let them off the hook just bc they’re them, y’know?
we can analyze and dissect this video, shane’s body language, & ryan’s facial expressions/tone of voice all day, but that won’t change the fact that, at the end of the day, we don’t KNOW these guys really. we can’t just assume ryan & shane are bystanders.

tired of the luke bullying i’m setting the record straight: luke isn’t trying to tell grogu that attachments are BAD or that he CAN’T have them, but that grogu needs to learn to deal w them in a healthy way, one that allows him to care while still being focused
ik i made a post about not being parasocial w them & i’m not gonna assume anything but they SEEM genuinely sorry. i wish this had been their plan from the start but i’m glad they listened to their audience & made changes fairly quickly. that’s refreshing to see.
you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. i love charles xavier but i acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and i can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always right)
now hold on why did ticketmaster not send an email or something out to all of their users to inform about this why am i hearing about it from pop base on twitter dot com 🧍🏻
Ticketmaster has been hit by a cyber attack which has allegedly compromised the data of 560 MILLION customers (names, numbers, card details, etc)
Hackers are reportedly demanding $500,000 in exchange for keeping the stolen data sealed or are offering to sell it on the dark web.
watcher entertainment wants me to spend $6usd/month on content that has been free to watch for going on four years now i need them to be so fr for a moment

besties don’t u see?? it’s all a test!! luke’s testing grogu on whether he can healthily deal w his attachments, bc he KNOWS there r ways to do that! we know luke trains his own nephew & he never gave up on anakin or his friends. luke is THE attachment guy pls
jim thought the enterprise was his home but when given the opportunity to bring spock back, he literally blew the enterprise up to make that happen. maybe that’s when jim started to realize the ship wasn’t his home, spock was.
