man why do white people have to appropriate our guys its not like y'all dont have your own guys
Full stop, I hate how disabled people are ripped off when it comes to buying basic items. Why the fuck is an electric wheelchair $4000, ableds can buy a used car cheaper than that. Ableds get everything catered to them yet I’m trying to get a new wheelchair and can’t afford it. That’s my fucking legs. This also applies to things that disabled people want, like I shouldn’t have to pay $1000 for an adapted guitar. You’re ripping one of the poorest population in the world.
There needs to be a cap on how much vendors can charge for equipment rentals and items that are needed or wanted by disabled people but y’all not ready to talk about that.
Ableds, stop monopolizing off disabled people. (Ableds can reblog this - actually it’s encouraged - but don’t comment!)
The other crazy thing about obidala is how much more oedipal it makes Anakin.
Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan is already insane. The way he makes everything that's wrong Obi-Wan's fault is truly unhinged. I'm thinking of AotC and how Anakin brings Obi-Wan into his rant after he massacres the Tuskens and yells about how Obi-Wan is "jealous" of him. It is so unhinged really and truly. I love it, there's no actual logic to it, but there's an emotional logic. Like yeah, I can actually imagine a guy acting this way.
Anakin has this father figure who seems so perfect and everyone loves him, and Anakin can never measure up, so the father figure becomes an obstacle that has to be overcome. He's already a father-rival.
Padme's relationship with Anakin, meanwhile, already leans maternal. She looked out for him in TPM. There's the way she comforted him in AotC. RotS parallels Padme and Shmi, "I won't lose you the way I lost my mother." They are both these madonna-like figures Anakin is trying desperately to save.
So, Anakin already had issues. Add on top of that the idea that Obi-Wan and Padme had a relationship, or that Anakin at least thinks they did, and it makes this oedipus thing even more explicit. In Anakin's mind Obi-Wan and Padme are together as a mother and father, and he has to kill Obi-Wan to take his place.
I honestly think it's amazing that a blockbuster movie did this. I love Anakin's psychology so much. He's such a mess.
This tweet has changed my life btw
Such a fun AU
It's Christmas
Hurry up, demon, GIVE BIRTH TO HIM NOW

Plus, she’s a huge, huge Star Wars fan.
i'm pulling a full 180 heel-face-turn on my anakin skywalker opinions. i no longer think anakin skywalker's childhood trauma was the gas in the engine that made him a monster. i actually think it's less about that and more about traumatic brain injuries #1-#4,002, and if anyone had ever done a brain scan on darth vader they might have been able to diagnose him with a bad, bad case of Holy Shit disease, wherein his brain tissue is so scarred from TBIs #1-#4,002 it no longer appears like it should function at all. my reasoning for this: that man has been a pilot since the age of nine, and i don't think that small child had a very good helmet for the space death NASCAR he was participating in.
In case anyone needs it, I have the "library" of every clone that has an official name in the Clone Wars.
It's a sheet of gifs but it still has everyone (except the newest characters from Bad Batch they haven't been added yet.)
A gift.
