It's been a while since I last promoted my various creative endeavors.
I am an unrepped writer, who has a nice portfolio of short stories, novels, poems, and scripts (short, feature, and pilot). 🤓

Overheard in Target.
Little girl, probably 6/7 years old, clutching an Anakin lightsaber in her hands.
Mom: Don’t you want to buy some fun kitchen toys?
Girl: No, I want to defend the galaxy!
Mom: Look at this pink stuff!
Girl: You’re making me go to the Dark Side!

Do movies have to prove “cultural impact” to matter? It’s a sequel. People loved it when it came out. Quoted it. Made memes. Moved on. The constant need for long-term cultural relevance for ALL films seems like a side effect of something bigger happening with society.
The way Glass Onion made zero cultural impact… proof it was absolutely abysmal

"Shipping" has literally been around since the inception of fandom, but most notably in the Star Trek fandom! In fact, the first fanfic for Spock/Kirk was penned in 1974. It is not a new phenomenon, by any means.
The ‘shipping’ phenomenon is interesting. As an older fan, I don’t remember this practice as prevalent as it is with younger fans. Someone explain it to me please.😍
