Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
I agree for the most part that Vader shouldn't fight Obi-wan in the Kenobi series but if there is one thing I disagree is that Vader does hate Obi-wan and actively looks for him at least for a few years. If there is one person he hates and fears barring Palpatine it's Obi-wan. The reasoning is a mix of things Obi-wan is part of his past which he hates, he is bitter of his defeat because he was crippled in a suit of armor that was torturing him, he is afraid Obi-wan developed new techniques and rewrote his wrong on mustafar, all he can think of is his frustrating memories of Obi-wan if he ever looks back and Padme's death is directly linked to Obi-wan so he'll also be angry about that. I think it's also stated or implied it was supposed to be a fight between rivals or people who don't like each other in ANH. It's rather hard to find anything about Obi-wan and Vader where Vader isn't craving his death or at best bitter about Obi-wan.
Disney, if you screw up Hayden’s comeback in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, I will never forgive you! That man got the most unjustified hate for years and he more than deserves to have a second chance to prove himself to the Star Wars fanbase (though it’s ridiculous that I even have to say that)!
Tumblr users when they introduce a silly little button
sorry for posting so much but i HATE when a song's lyrics fit a character or a ship perfectly until like one line or perhaps the chorus and it's such a shift from the rest that it's completely unusable
Agent Ultron
FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES MINE IS LITERALLY
Crazy fanfic idea i had a few days ago not sure if this has been done in this way at least. Instead of the Son of Mortis making Anakin see the future he does much crazier idea that he could probably do. Imagine this Anakin fights the Son of Mortis but fails and the son tells him he can perfect him which confuses Anakin. Then cut to Obi-wan and Ahsoka looking for him when all of a sudden there is a massive scream which becomes a tremor in the Force causing Ahsoka nearly fall unconscious from the headache and Obi-wan falls down confused then cut to Yoda and Mace in meditation immeadeately both opening their eyes in absolute fear. Then cut to Serreno where Dooku is looking out the window with eyes searching in worry as he starts to sweat and then cut to Maul and Savage(This actually happens after Maul is resurrected in the fic) and then finally to Palpatine who is in his office with eyes wide in shock before narrowing and turning around to the window pondering. Then it's back to Obi-wan and Ahsoka who both run to the son and then find the father and daughter (who is still alive) as well with Anakin on his knees grabbing his hair screaming his head off. They run to him but the father stops them as Anakin looks up with a yellow eye pale face corrupted by the dark side and blue eye and the rest of it looking normal as the yellow eye narrows and screams "OBI-WAN!!!" as he looks up continuing his scream before the scream dies out. "Anakin" closes his eyes and takes in a breath controlling his power he was releasing before letting out his breath he was holding and says "I don't remember the last time i took a breath of fresh air." "Anakin" begins to grin in a dark way and starts to laugh and releasing more energy before looking at Obi-wan and Ahsoka revealing to the audience a spirit behind Anakin a pale,wounded and bald face in the form of Darth Vader taking control of Anakin.
Money's on Anakin that guy is better than even Vader is at it. Doesn't help Anakin is considered the greatest star pilot multiple times by other Jedi and pilots while Hera is not.
obviously both Kanan and Padme are alive, idk who said otherwise
you're so right!! otherwise how else would i have this image which is totally a canonical real screenshot and not a drawing I did just now!
Not today (she’s recording)
