Leia, Padme, Mara, Ahsoka, and many more are all incredible characters and donโt deserve to be diminished.
If you canโt defend Rey without knocking down other female characters, maybe Rey isnโt that great.

I made a chili sauce that has all the delicious flavor of a super hot pepper with none of the heat.
No idea what to do with it, but it tastes really good.
Wish I knew jack-all about selling things.
HE IS!
Itโs such a shame heโs always white washed because the way he feels othered is such a big part of him.
She often did assist in missions! Including saving Anakin in a hostage exchange. And gathering intelligence.
And she was a MAJOR diplomat during the whole conflict.
And she fought against the war the whole time in the Senate.
She was badass!
โBut she died therefore that erases everything she did before!โ
Wow crazy how the entire Jedi Order died that same day, but only Padmeโs death invalidates all her accomplishments and character.
The fact that so many people decry Padme as โjust Anakinโs pregnant wifeโ reveals how misogyny often hides as performative progressiveness.
Padme was a goddamn Queen at 14 and then a Senator.
In AOTC, sheโs Palpatineโs main OPP. Anakin is just the dumb honeypot to distract her.
I heard S&S is planning a fully produced audio drama for this project, do you know if that's true?
Iโll try and announce the cast when Iโm allowed.
Thereโs some INCREDIBLE voices in on the one!
If youโre interested in joining for the livestream, follow this thread! Iโll post updates as it develops.
The scripts are already finished and the lovely @jamesareillymusic.bsky.social has a fantastic take on the theme for it!
Hey to any of my #StarWars mutuals interested!
S&S is working on an adaptation of Heir to the Empire with a twist - itโs been adapted to fit within the Lucas canon. The challenge was to make it coherent with the PT and CW.
Weโre planning a live reading with music and VAs.

What a weird time we live in right now

We really need to stop with tying in media consumption with morality. Except in deeply extreme cases like, say, people defending CP as "free speech," or Mein Kampf or Birth of a Nation as "making good points," then no. No it really doesn't.
Literally everything is problematic. None of us are pure.
What an incredible concept! Imagine!
You should write a book about it that people probably wonโt read and form opinions about based on vibes.
(I would read it ๐ฅบ)
There's a lot of art I don't like. I simply don't engage with it.
If I have to (ie I'm getting paid, or talking to a friend who isn't tumblrpilled), I'll discuss it, but in general it's just a better use of my time to not seek out things that aren't going to align with my tastes.
I know โmedia illiteracyโ gets tossed around lately, but I donโt know of Iโve heard a more textbook example than that!
It's my Birthday today! Here's a Hermana combo cause Tales is peak
Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing homes in Lebanon The Israeli army has issued forced displacement orders and hundreds of thousands of people are now on the move this morning. Not just in southern Lebanon, but also here in Beirut. The cityโs Dahiyeh suburbs that Israel issued the displacement order for is home to hundreds of thousands of people. People here are packing what they can and making their way to what they believe will be safer areas.
*infinite scream*
Genuinely the one time I have seen an American show empathy to Davidson in this situation as well, every other American seems to think this is carte blanche to be abelist
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Sometimes the Hero and Protagonist are the same person, sometimes not.
I wonder who the hero of Death Note would be? Justice? Hahaha It feels like a thematic Hero more than any singular character to me...
Then again, it could be Watari for establishing Whammy House. Or it could be L & his legacy..?
Fairy Tail, despite its exhaustive roster of regulars, is first and foremost Lucy's story. She propells it forward and events are centered around her vantage. She's our POV, our anchor of calibration. (3/3)
Imo, there is no story without both of them, Protagonist and Hero.
But when the chips are down, Natsu, despite openly and frequently being acknowledged as not the strongest of the guild, is the "Goku" everyone is always holding out for, he is the quintessential tide-turner. (2/3)
I love exploring the difference between a story's hero and protagonist.
For example, in Fairy Tail, Lucy is the story's protagonist but Natsu is the story's hero.
And this is not to say Lucy doesn't have amazing moments of saving people. (1/3)
L is the antagonist but heโs also the good guy.
Kira is the protagonist but heโs also the villain.
Such a fascinating subversion. I understand why you are team L!
One last thing I will say because I'm obsessed with Death Note: Light Yagami? Yeah, no sympathies from me sorry. Man went a Dr. Faustus route and didn't do much critical reflection despite being a straight A student. And he is Death Note's protagonist! That being said, interesting and entertaining.
