The Book Of Names Lists Each Person Murdered At Auschwitz

They’re having a very serious conversation about Cody’s behaviour (being mean to uncle Ben)

@rainglazed reblogged your post and added:

But the thing about reality shows and docudramas is that they’re all very staged and framed - music, editing, camera angles, over arching narrative construction within a season.  So now I’m thinking what on earth could compel a studio to make a Jedi positive series during their wartime dip in popularity.  

Palpatine: I would appreciate an, ahem, frank yet still somewhat flattering portrayal of our republic’s heroes.  Make ‘em look good, but not too good, you know what I mean?  

Some artsy liberal film maker who’s aiming for the space oscars: jedi having mental breakdown in the middle of wartime perfect this is edgy as hell

Cue death of the author on not one, but two accounts as the galaxy realizes that Jedi deal with trauma and stress with less screaming and more ‘haha you think i can force push myself to that ledge after three stims and two hours of sleep watch this padawan- what no of course i’m fine everything’s fine here’s three more puns about the sweet embrace of death :)))’  

Basically Palpatine wanted dirt, the producers wanted angst, and what the galaxy accidentally got instead was five season and a movie of deadpan existential humor in the form of space monk family drama. 

Palpatine would have stopped this long ago but unfortunately he created a system where profit reigns supreme and the studio execs are rolling in credits and will have you pry the show from their cold dead hands.  THIS IS FEEDING THE WAR MACHINE CHANCELLOR. WE THOUGHT YOU’D BE HAPPY.

#jedi documentary au#ffffs ive been seeing this unfold on my dash on and off all day guys pLEASE#HAVE MERCY#IM ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN AT ONE TIME#forcearama why does this nonsense always start with you dsfaldj#participation points#long post (via @rainglazed)

All of this was amazing and then I died at the bolded tag. I DO NOT KNOW WHY IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH ME. I’m a troublemaker, evidently. 

I feel like I owe the Star Wars fandom an apology because it keeps trying to be Serious and Discoursey, and I’m just over here writing recaps full of profanity and commentary about Obi-Wan’s swooshy hair, and making up stories about Anakin being a wholly ineffective Renaissance-Era gardener, or Vader sending sexts to Obi-Wan long after Mustafar. 

(To my new followers: welcome to my blog! I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into/I’m sorry.)

i’ve had a realization and i’m sure it’s been done before but-

millennial depression:

vs

gen z depression:

Imagine it's some time during the clone wars and it's not going to well during one battle. Obi wan ran out of ibuprofen an hour ago and rex lost anakin in the mess of droids and cant find him. Echo and fives swapped armor at some point and keep forgetting to answer to whoever calls their names. Ahsoka is really trying to girl boss but shes getting a little too close to the sun. What to do?

and then it's like god descending from the heavens. A bright light is descending, in reality. The only thing anyone hears before the explosion is "YEE TO THE HAW" and then everything within a ten mile radius is electrocuted- droids, clones, and jedi.

This proves fatal to the droids, but the clones and jedi suffer from just the electric shock. Obi wan glances at fives and echo, who are both knocked out on the ground, and ahsoka and rex, who are sharing similar looks of confusion, as Jesse and cody are both shaking like they're still being electrocuted but really that's just them

From the dust cloud that rose, anakin walks out with the >:> look on his face and says, with his hair frizzing up and his eyes a little to excited, "I found :> a bomb >:>"

And they kind of pass this off, you know? Until order 66 comes around. Anakin is literally bowing down to a sith lord, about to go take some kids to heaven (or hell, ya know) and palpatine is like "ayo execute order 66" and it just. Doesnt.

Because that electric bomb, the strong one from years ago? It may have accidentally fried the circuits in the inhibitor chip. So anakin is all like "let's go do murder" and all the clones are like "no" and hes like aight (okay to make this a bit more realistic let's say they talk him out of it idk? Its funny)

And that's the story of how stupid tcw anakin saved rots anakin bc hes dumb

Stalling Tactics

[Anakin, getting ready to go help Palpatine] Obi-Wan: [winded, busting through the door] Anakin! Anakin: [sniffling, quickly wiping his eyes] Obi-Wan! What – what are you doing here? Obi-Wan: [clearly winging it] I…came back early from Utapau because I realized that I forgot…my keys.  Anakin: [confused] What? How would you have left without them? Obi-Wan: Oh. Uh…I mean I…came back because I forgot…something else, then. [looks around the room] [picks up a pen someone left in there] Uh, this! Anakin: O…K. [standing up straighter] Well whatever Obi-Wan, I have to go take care of something, so, maybe I’ll talk to you later. Obi-Wan: [hastily, jumping in front of him as he tries to walk past] No! I, uh, I just remembered that it’s Master Yoda’s birthday next week, and we haven’t gotten him a thing! [reaching for his hand] C’mon then, I’ll take us shopping, and you can pick out anything – Anakin: [pulling his hand away] Obi-Wan, I’m not going shopping with you right now, I have somewhere I need to be and you wouldn’t underst– Obi-Wan: [blocking the doorway] You can’t go into this part of the building right now.  Anakin: [furrowing his brow] And why is that? Obi-Wan: They’re…fumigating. This wing. Space mites. And…mold.  Anakin: [shoving him aside] Look, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I have a situation I need to go deal with right now and I can’t really talk about it, so, uh, see you around. [heads down the hallway] Obi-Wan: [running after him] [keels over, feigning injury] Oh! Anakin: [warily sighs] What is it now? Obi-Wan: My…foot. Is…injured. Gravely. I might need you to carry me to the –  [Anakin’s comm goes off] Anakin: Hang on, it could be the Chancell– [Obi-Wan grabs it out of his hand and throws it into a nearby garbage chute]  Anakin: Hey! That was my comm! Why did you do that?! Obi-Wan: I…wanted to see if it could withstand the trash incinerator. [peers into the chute he just threw it into] Guess not. Live and learn, I suppose! [stretches his arms over his head and yawns] Well, I’m knackered! What’s say you and I go get comfortable and watch several hours of the holonet back at our place? Anakin: [shaking his head] For kriff’s sake. Look, I don’t know what your problem is right now, but I’ve got a lot on my plate and I don’t have time to deal with whatever’s wrong with you on top of everything.  Obi-Wan: [briefly making eye contact with Mace, who is hauling Sheev away in handcuffs further down the hallway and giving Obi-Wan a thumbs-up] Mmhmm.  Anakin: And I really don’t appreciate you making my day harder than it already is.  Obi-Wan: [nodding] I understand.  Anakin: And look: whatever happens after this, just know that I had my reasons. It was the only way.   Obi-Wan: Yes, of course.  Sheev: [yelling over his shoulder] You haven’t seen the last of me, Jedi! Anakin: Huh? [about to turn around]  Obi-Wan: [grabs Anakin and dip-kisses him]

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
