The following message regards the recent events that have occurred since the election of president pig (and not the good kind of pig) including the hate-crimes against minorities, POC, women, and LGBTQ:
Trust me when I say that I am not one to promote anti-hate (even though my hatred of the thespian community is totally and completely valid) but REALLY? Get your shit together and live in harmony you idiots. And if you can’t do that, then do what I do and live in a farm house miles away from your nearest neighbor and only bother people over the Internet.

So…

I’ve been seeing a lot of Rexsoka and Maulsoka content after the premiere of the finale…

…Can’t believe we gotta go through this again.

• AHSOKA IS 17 IN SEASON 7
• Clones mature both mentallyandphysically twice as fast. They are not boys, they are men. Stop acting like they’re teens in men’s bodies. They are not. Because of this, Rex would be 26/27 during season 7.
• Maul is around Obi-Wan’s age, which is at least 38 during season 7. I shouldn’t even have to say more.
• Ahsoka might have become more mature than your average 17 y/o during the war, but thats not a fucking excuse.If you use it, you’re disgusting.The idea that underage girls can be in relationships with grown ass men because they’re “more mature than other girls” has been used to justify too many gross, abusive relationships in the world. Don’t even go there.
• Rex calls Ahsoka “kid”. He first met her when she was 13/14, and he was 20/21. She looks up to Rex, and treats him like she does Anakin (who she views as an older brother). Stop twisting a beautiful familial bond/relationship into a romantic and/or sexual one just because you think they look good together.

Tldr: Ahsoka is a girl. Rex is a man, who is technically ~9 years her senior. Maul is a man who is ~18 years her senior. Stop shipping a child with them. It’s disgusting.

So…. I’m not normally this person but here goes nothing

1) So leaving out the whole mental maturity (which by the way is VERY important) TECHNICALLY in Star Wars lore (canon lore mind you) Ahsoka is an adult to her people. To the Tugrutas on Shili killing your first Akul is a sign of adulthood. She has obviously already killed one because she wears the Akul tooth headress in TCW seasons 1-5. And we have no way of knowing for sure because she is an alien. Biological maturity could be wayyyy different. I mean come on, ‘Baby’ Yoda is 50…

2) Star Wars canon has bigger age gaps. For example, Han and Leia (if I read right) are 11 YEARS APART! Heck in the prequels Padme tells Anakin she has always loved him… they met when he was 9 and she was 14. If my timelines are right, they were married when he was only 18. Not that big a gap but her maturity was way over his. After all, he was a kid and she was queen of a whole kriffin planet.

3) Now for the big one *inhales* STAR WARS IS >FICTION< gasp the horror, I know. You might just have to live with the fact that their sociatal views are different. Real world Earth has millions of different cultures. Now multiply that by millions of planets and your not gonna have the same views we do. ALSO, even so it wasn’t that long ago our great grandparents were having kids at that age.

4) In certain dialects the nickname kid is one used towards someone less experienced. When I was a leader in my band, I called people 'kid’ or 'children’ that were older than me. Also, Rex calls her kid a couple times in season 1 but stops. It only comes back up in season 7 because of emotional trauma and RELIEF that she wasn’t dead.

5) Again (for the people in the back), 》Fiction《. I haven’t seen anyone all in an uproar about the canon pairings in GoT? And in anyway Tumblr is supposed to be about acceptance, be that our gender, sexuality, culture, religion, and yes, our SHIPS there shouldn’t be bashing ESPECIALLY not in OUR TAG (shoutout to everyone who uses a different tag). There is enough hate in this world without you. I’ve dealt with a LOT of crap in the last few weeks (a broken wrist, my mom is sick, my dad hurt his back, and my friends 12yo brother just died) and Tumblr is supposed to be SAFE. Gonna be a hater? Go somewhere else. We are people too. And I’ll be honest, as an avid Rexsoka shipper, the only smut I’ve seen is in writings which means you would have had to read them. Wanna debate? Cool that’s fandoms, not everyone agrees. But DO NOT start putting people down and CURSING at them. We have our corner go find your own.

TO ALL MY REXSOKA SHIPPERS AND TO OTHER SHIPS THAT GET HATED ON. I’VE GOT YOU AND KEEP SHIPPING.

(Warning for spoilers to No Man’s Sky)

Today I left my traveller to float for eternity in their cute little space ship a mere 146,933.2 light years from the center of the Euclid Galaxy. From the get go we were told that the goal of No Man’s Sky was to reach the centre of the Galaxy. For the first 60 or so hours of playing the game I ignored this and spent much time exploring every single planet in so much detail other people were probably laughing at me. 

I fell in love with space creatures of all kinds. I was seemingly much more lucky than other people that were playing the game - I started on a very lush planet, in a system of lush and beautiful planets and it was probably 3 hyper jumps before I found myself in an ugly and seemingly desolate system.

Some of the space creatures seemed more like space monsters and I was okay with that. It seemed plausible at first. Again, I was lucky that it was many planets until I found myself creatures who’s animation was so weird and ridiculous that it was just ugly.

I fell in love with vista after vista. My favourite part of this early play time was traversing on foot and cresting hills to have my breath taken away from what was revealed beyond. I adored using my jetpack to soar above lakes and throw myself in, plummeting to their beautiful depths.

I watched sunrise after sunrise on a multitude of landscapes and it took me quite a while to feel like this was repetitive or old.

Being a sucker for science fiction and space ships I just couldn’t get enough of this world that was full of them! Space ships and trading hubs everywhere!

I tweeted my experience of No Man’s Sky as I do with many games and you can see all the images and little video clips under the twitter tag #crSky . You’ll probably notice that I went through an entire gamut of emotions and frustrations, from the lack of accessibility, to pure joy, to frustration and finally, boredom. 

The longer I played No Man’s Sky the more I got increasingly mad at it. If you play video games you may have even seen all of the controversy over this game. As with anything to do with video games on the internet it all got a bit out of hand and over the top, but as I played I did begin to see where that spark of anger first came to life. 

At first I loved it. It was beautiful (not the most beautiful, but with its own charm), it felt close to what I wanted from exploring space - especially finding, naming, cataloguing animals and flying around in a space ship. But then I got so dismayed at the game that all I could fathom was that this game was simply incomplete - that the developers had all of these big ideas but that they just didn’t get any of them finished and that some serious content was lacking. Now I’ve finished* the game I’m not so sure. *walked away from.

The biggest disappointment for me came with the lack of conclusion to following the path of the Atlas. The biggest frustration was the complete lack of instruction or feedback on what was needed from me as a traveller in my journey. 

As an example, I’ll tell you about the Atlas Path - the Atlas are a mysterious being or force (you never find out what exactly) that may or may not be the benevolent creators of the universe. Whatever they are or were, they’re long gone, but they’ve left behind a trail for a mysterious group of sentient beings* to follow by visiting interfaces they’ve left behind. *The Travellers - that’s you. 

You receive Atlas Stones for each Atlas interface you visit, and in order to ‘complete’ that quest you need pretty much every one. Except you don’t know this and they can also be sold at trade terminals and to aliens for a veryattractive price at a time when earning cash can be a slog. So, I sold most of mine and I got to the end of the Atlas path and I couldn’t complete the quest (!!). A quick internet search revealed that it was okay and I didn’t miss anything anyways, not even any animation… just a little bit of text and no proof that anything actually happened.

This brings me to what made me wary when I first started playing the game - there’s very little animation or real action in the game. Nearly everything is a text based description of what is happening, or simple lore. My initial reaction was what the fuck? did I just pay $80 for space dungeons and dragons with an invisible DM describing everything to me?

To answer this question after who knows how many near-infinite hours of gameplay - yes I did. But I’m not mad about it anymore. In my final two hours of playing the game I had an epiphany and I forgave the creators of No Man’s Sky for most of their transgressions. 

I forgave them for forcing me into a colonialist journey of claiming places I discovered that were already settled. 

I forgave them for the weirdly uncomfortable mix of sheer beauty, majesty, silliness and total ugliness of the procedurally generated worlds and creatures. 

I forgave them for making me feel like I had to spend countless hours searching for a rare random drop of the Atlas Pass v2 only to discover there was literally nothing but some new furniture behind those doors. 

I forgave them for not ‘finishing’ the intriguing stories they had begun to weave through this expansive galaxy. 

I forgave them for not giving me enough of an opportunity to learn the Atlas language so that I had no idea what the Atlas was saying to me, even though I worked hard and spent days searching for monoliths.

I forgave them for boring me out of my own mind scouring for resources, building up my equipment and cataloguing space monsters. 

I forgave them for making me hate entire alien races; I forgave them for making me love another but giving me no substance too.

I forgave them for making the journey to the centre of the galaxy so horrifically arduous and never ending that I simply gave up and left my traveller to float for eons in the vast emptiness of space.

But why? Why forgive a games developer for making a video game that seemingly failed to deliver on every promised front? My personal epiphany was that this is actually not far off what living this role in space would mean to a sentient being. Being completely alone and not even knowing who or what you are, but being told your destiny is to toil and travel and toil and travel and just do it for eternity over and over.

This idea poked into my brain several times while playing, but I kept pushing it back because I wanted more. I wanted to be entertained. I wanted an actual ending to my story; I worked HARD at this dammit, I deserve a good round, proper ending. I spent all this time barely being entertained and I don’t even get an ending? 

I read this article from Polygon and I saw what actually happens when you reach the centre of the galaxy and I couldn’t ignore that idea anymore. It’s perfect. It’s almost too perfect. You’re living an infinite loop of difficult hard work and wonder (but also boredom), continually searching for the illusive meaning to your journey. This is existentialism. This is the Franz Kafka video game I always wanted and I didn’t even know it until I finally let go of my traveller and left them to float for eternity in a beautiful expanse of stars.

I wrote a piece for the BuzzFeed Community Summer Challenge and I would really appreciate the support of just clicking the link. The post is my first attempt at a movie review/sarcastic and honest criticism of Arab American stereotypes.

tired of assholes sending me hate mail about unfollowing me because they don’t like some of my posts…  if you’re str8 and don’t like the bi/gay posts - scroll on, dude…  if you’re gay and don’t like the bi/str8 posts - scroll on, dude…  or just unfollow me, and fuck you very much…  fuck…

Jeez, cool off!

People — fans — need to distinguish fiction from reality. This is really tough because fiction IS reality (hello D****).

Shows depict personal feelings and develop characters we identify to, characters that have a key role in our lives. One can be sad for days if something happens to their favorite character, or in the contrary smiles while in a bad mood just because of their favorite character’s happiness. But the fiction needs to be parted from reality when it comes to ships and actors.

Our ships can mean a lot to us, and sometimes everything. Because of what they represent, because of what they mean to us and our identity, because they are what enables us to escape from our daily lives, and because they bring us hope. But ships battles can sometimes go too far. And people begin to forget the boundaries between reality and fiction. I saw some say that Karamel was endgame because Chris Wood and Melissa Benoist married each other. It’s not healthy (!!) to claim and convince yourself that the fiction has become reality. Just like it’s not right for people to attack Chris because of his behavior as Mon-El. As much as shows can bring happiness, it can destroy people, real people, both actors and fans. Cyber-bullying is something powerful, and it is even more when you are attacked on something you hold dear to your heart, and not everyone has the strength to ignore the critics, simply because sometimes they go too far. Just think about fans insulting actors because of the characters they play.. they are destroying their dream. If we take the example of Staz, he said he is living a dream working on Supergirl, and even if we don’t like his character, there is no reason to attack Staz for William’s actions. Because this is not healthy, and this is insane. All we do is destroying someone’s experience of their most beautiful journey. Staz should be held accountable for his actions, not for William’s; just like David has to be called out for his actions while we still love Space Dad.

And I know it’s hard to keep liking a character when we discovered that the one interpreting it is an asshole, but it should be as hard as hating a character which interpreter we love. I love Katie McGrath with all my soul, but still, I held Lena accountable for putting Hope in Eve in such an aggressive and abusive way. And I agree that this was written out of character, but as much as I didn’t agree with Lena’s actions, I still love Katie with all my heart because these are two different things. So I’m not gonna hate on Staz because of William’s douchebag behavior just like I won’t hate on Chris for Mon-El’s mistakes. We should all know the differences between actors and their characters. And this should also be remembered when it comes to ships.

We love our ships and we will always be loud about them, but spreading hate because someone doesn’t believe in what we believe? No! We are better than that! Both sides of the story are better than that!

Now if someone attacks me because of my ship I will answer back, I will fight tooth and nail for my babies because I identify to what they represent, but I wouldn’t start such a fight. I want to be able to believe freely in what I feel like believing in, and I think I should be able to do it without having someone pushing me down for it. Seemingly, I would never drag somebody down for believing in something that makes them feel better about themselves. If I don’t want someone to be getting in the way between me and what makes me happy, then I should not get in the way between someone else’s happiness and themselves. There is enough space for all of us to ship everyone we want to ship. We should not be quiet about what makes us happy, but we should do it with love and kindness. Because that’s what we all deserve. And if you don’t ship these two? Well there’s no problem then, continue you way, there’s no need for you to tell someone how wrong you think they are. Keep your hatred for yourself and let them believe in whatever makes them happy.

I will always be kind towards the ones that do not have the same beliefs as I, but the day you’ll invalidate my ship, I’ll come at you, because it will be the day you invalidate me, and when someone drags me down, I fight back. Not because I don’t have kindness anymore, but because things need to be done to make people understand that they are wrong, and I will always stand up for myself and for my fellows.

I’m a Supercorp shipper, and I’ll will always fight for my ship, but I won’t be invalidating Karamel, SuperBat, SuperCat, GuardianCorp… And yes, for me, Lena makes more sense;

And yes, I think James was a jerk to Lena, and Mon-El was a jerk before his redemption;

And no, I don’t see GuardianCorp’s chemistry and I don’t wish Kara and Mon-El to go back together even though he is a mature man now; but I accepted what the show delivered and I didn’t break people’s beliefs even though mine were different. So please, stop attacking Supercorp shippers because of their beliefs. If the show takes this path then so be it, there is no need to drag us down or send hate. Let go, enjoy what you had and what you can create, just like we did for the past three years.

We respect you and I hope that you can do the same, even though there are people from both sides who have trouble with boundaries.

Let’s set an example, because in the end, all we want is for Kara to be happy. Mon-El once made her happy, and if it’s Lena’s turn now then so be it.

Hope, help and compassion for all fellows

Unpopular opinion. I don’t like it. I just don’t, to me it doesn’t look good on her and no amount of screenshots, fanart or anything else will make me change my mind. 

It’s fine if you all like it but I just don’t think it suits her. There are plenty of characters who look great with short hair but to me Zelda isn’t one of em.

ATTACKING SOMEONE FOR BEING WHITE IS NOTEQUALITY

ATTACKING SOMEONE FOR BEING STRAIGHT IS NOTEQUALITY

ATTACKING SOMEONE FOR BEING CIS OR MALE IS NOTEQUALITY

ATTACKING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR GENETICS IS NOT PROMOTING EQUALITY AND IF YOU DO IT YOU ARE LITERALLY PART OF THE PROBLEM

wah cis tears tbh

Hi there, I’m not cis. Picking on someone for being any of the above things is wrong.

Attacking anyone for anything is wrong! Hate is not the answer! 

^ THIS. I’m tired of prejudice against any group…
