shoutout to my keyboard for dying on me and causing me to tag something with “commander cod”.
anyway -
U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping
(Click „read more“ if you want to know why Echo is upset like that.)
This is what happened:
„The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed.“
„You can say that again.“
I completely forgot about that scene until I started my season 1 rewatch and it hurt to see this.
Frankly a lot in the show‘s opener hurt.
Tech telling Echo he’s more machine than man percentage-wise.
Wrecker reminding Echo that he blew up shortly after he had a panic attack in the med bay.
Crosshair finishing Wrecker’s sentence with „and turned into THAT…“
Wrecker and Crosshair betting two credits on whether Echo is alive after the canteen fight (with Crosshair betting that he‘s dead).
Echo always keeps his cool, pretends not to care. Ever since his rescue he played things down, never wanted to be a liability, just kept on going.
But this…
„The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed.“ - „You can say that again.“
Echo didn’t expect to hear something that is so close to home in this moment.
This hurt.
Like the other things they said.
But in this moment Echo was blindsided, forgot to put is guard up.
This is where we see how he really feels.

I was today years old. That is disgusting.
No Child Left Behind is one of the worst things to ever be incentivized in schools. It was signed into law when I was 14. Reading Rainbow was my show as a kid. LeVar Burton played a big part in why I became an avid reader to date. The joy of it. It's an adventure around the globe and through different time periods without stepping on a plane or time machine.
Children parrot behavior. In grade school, I always wanted to read the same amount of books as my teachers (50 books) and managed to double that each year. Before No Child Left Behind, book fairs and Scholastic catalogs were a serious matter like your grandma's Fingerhut catalogs. Libraries were (and still are) a wonderland.
Reading comprehension and proficiency in schools has been declining for decades. A crisis. The joy of books isn't pushed anymore and I'm always saddened by it. It's one of the reasons why I post my book reviews and recommendations on here, as well as posts from others to encourage reading and (novel) writing. Kids will parrot your behavior while the education system sadly fails to return as that example.
Captain Gregor‘s faces project! Part 2 // That elevator scene! This one took me exactly 3 h and 7 min 💫
So this is my 4th (FORCE!) clone drawing and the force was definitely with me, because my lining improved. I‘m not so shattery today and got more confident. Woohoo!
My next piece will be for my underrated clone project (We need Tup. And we need him with open hair!) But I saved more scenes with Gregor, because his faces are gold 😄 #captain gregor #it‘s captain traitor #insubordinate plebe #crazy but genius #one man army but chuckling #captain gregor‘s faces
I cannot over-emphasize the degree to which ive been preparing my entire life for this moment @jone-slugger
There is something so beautiful about fan fiction. To look at a character lying in a pool of blood and say:
“No. No, I reject this. Perhaps in this one story you die, but we will give you a thousand more where you live to a ripe old age. Where you meet your true love and live happily ever after. Where you can defeat your childhood bullies, fulfill you fondest dreams, take over the world or retire to the countryside in peace. This is not your ending. We love you, and you will live forever.”
The tweet that has induced INSOMNIA in bosses...😲😝
Julian Bashir, Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax are traveling back in time to today, the 30th of August, 2024, just in time for the bell riots in just 2 days!!! Happy Past Tense Day to all who celebrate!
I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message... ANDOR | 2.09
