Well Now Im Thinking About Ahsoka And Luke.

well now i’m thinking about ahsoka and luke.

what do you do when you meet your brother’s son? the one who saved him — the one who succeeded where you failed. you said ‘i won’t leave you’; he said ‘i won’t leave you’. only one works. your brother comes home only once, and it’s not to you. of course it’s not to you. you left first. isn’t it your punishment? you left first and you spend the rest of your life trying to come back but of course you never can, isn’t that the first thing you learn about leaving home? it’s never the same again.

your brother comes home for the son he doesn’t even know. your brother would’ve killed you where you stood. how the fuck are you supposed to cope with that?

I clicked on one video on accident, and now my entire feed is ruined.

any time youtube tries to recommend me a star wars video i immediately watch 15 slime asmr videos in a row so it won’t catch onto my interests

One of these days I’ll have the energy to give a full essay on how Avatar the last Airbender takes its philosophy and inspiration from Indian, specifically Hindu culture, and yet has ripped it from us and only gives us two Indian/South Asian coded characters, one who was a gooky wise mentor who drank banana onion juice and was shown with multiple arms and only existed so the protagonist could learn about his chakras - another Hindu concept - and one who was pictured as evil for using armed resistance against violent imperialists, mirroring how the Indian independence movement has been watered down to Ghandi’s peaceful protests are erasing the decades of blood and struggle, and was then shown to be a mean player who had to die to be ‘redeemed’, and then assigned all parts of our culture to East Asian-based places and gave us no representation.

But until then remember this when you praise avatar for it’s representation.

so much of the racism and misunderstandings of Indian culture comes from the fact foreigners see Indians as a monolith, when they are in actuality the least united country you will ever meet. i have the same amount of commonality with a non-Indian desi that i would have with an Indian person from a different state.
