I’ll still be here too; I support Canon Ships, I do enjoy the occasional well written non Canon Ships too but I prefer Canon Ships, and after fighting the opinions of family, I have learned to not voice my Reylo Love to one family member because they are still struggling with the Storytelling Choices in the ST so far, so I’m not going anywhere.

I personally think that if Reylo becomes canon, the fandom will be totally abuzz after IX but the activity will die down once the DVD and all the supplemental materials have been released. Casual shippers will lose interest once there is nothing to anticipate or speculate about. Part of the reason this fandom is so active is the discourse and speculation over spoilers, news, leaks, etc. Once all is said and done, people will squeal and swoon for a couple of months and then they will move on.

Probably, yep. I will be one of the holdouts. (ง’̀-‘́)ง

I agree with @happyb33ps when was the last time this was updated? We couldn’t find Alderaan, Ilum was heavily mined passed recognition and Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters chased us away from Mustafar.

For the love of the Ones please update this atlas!

Eight Things You Should Know About Tolkien's Thranduil

Okay, you’ve seen the Hobbit movies but you just can’t get into the book.  Or, you read the book years ago and you don’t remember every detail.  I’m here to help.

1. Thranduil did not refuse to help the Dwarves when Smaug attacked.  We don’t know what he did - Tolkien never wrote anything about it.  Jackson’s preamble is complete fabrication.

2. Thranduil did not consider the Silvan Elves to be ‘lesser’ Elves:

Oropher [his father] had come among them with only a handful of Sindar, and they were soon merged with the Silvan Elves, adopting their language and taking names of Silvan form and style… . They wished indeed to become Silvan folk and to return, as they said, to the simple life natural to the Elves before the invitation of the Valar had disturbed it. (Unfinished Tales, ‘The History of Galadriel and Celeborn’ p 249)

3. Thranduil did not aid the Men of Esgaroth out of self-interest:

But the king, when he received the prayers of Bard, had pity, for he was the lord of a good and kindly people; so turning his march, which had at first been direct towards the Mountain, he hastened now down the river to the Long Lake. (The Hobbit, ‘Fire and Water’ p 255)

The housing epidemic in Hawai’i has reached an all time fucking low.

Let me tell you a little story.

My landlord informed me that he’s in trouble with the building permitting office, and because I have a perfect rental history he wants to relocate me (with my husband and two kids) to another property. I’m like okay fine, I’ll go look at it.

But then I get there … and it’s literally a concrete slab with walls and cheap windows.

This piece of shit had:

No front door

No floor (just raw concrete)

No walls or insulation

No kitchen

No bathroom, shower, or toilet

No septic tank

No electricity

No water or catchment

They want $825 a month

I asked when they were going to finish the cabin. They said it was already done, and we would have to pay for everything else out of pocket.

Is this illegal? Probably. But in my area, there are over 800 displaced residents who are looking for rentals due to the Kīlauea volcano. Someone will probably be desperate enough to take this offer, but not me.

This is the type of housing conditions natives and Hawai’i locals are dealing with so foreigners can have their Air BnBs, vacation rentals, and retirement cabins. So rich politicians can have a second or third home somewhere tropical.

*gears turn and spin*

I agree that Obi-Wan just didn’t sit there and twiddle his thumbs for nineteen years and Luke did refer to him as ‘a strange old hermit’ which says Obi-Wan did interact with the local moisture farmers and maybe even the local, larger, settlement.

Now my Muse is all excited because of the suggestion that Obi-Wan was spending some of his time taking out bounties and stealing from the Hutts to make some money to survive and terrifying the Tusken Raiders out of their minds.

I think it was implied that Obi-Wan found a way to tell Bail where he was living because R2 was heading in the right direction for his hut.

*new headcanon not quite inserted but is found acceptable*

“And then Obi-wan went off to live as a reclusive hermit in the Jundland Wastes until Luke showed up with R2 and C-3PO.”

…even beyond that deleted scene where Luke goes into town and encounters Ben Kenobi hanging out with the locals and acting kooky, I don’t buy this interpretation. I mean, this is Obi-wan. Not only does he attract friends, allies, and animals of various sizes and levels of terrifying to his side like a Disney princess, he’s also the universe’s favorite punching bag. No way those years were full of uninterrupted contemplation, solitude, and remorse.

For starters, that hut he’s living in when Luke first meets him? Yeah, that’s probably residence number 23. Better-built than residences 1-3 and 5 (we don’t talk about number 4), simpler than 8-14, and made with less emotional attachment than 15-20. They’ve been destroyed by everything from roving bantha herds to crashing space ships to that one flash flood, and Obi-wan has finally made peace with the fact that this is his life. If he hadn’t gone with Luke, his current house was due to be struck by a meteor within the month.

Next, he is almost certainly friends with all the local animals. All of them. He’s been on this planet for almost two decades, they’ve all met him, he’s been Adopted by pretty much everything that lives in communal groups, and he goes and hangs out with them when he’s feeling lonely, because he can’t keep a good eye on Luke’s safety if he’s too depressed to move.

Not to mention the fact that, in canon, not only does Leia know who he is, she knows which planet to send R2D2 to in order to contact him. Obi-wan might not be part of the Rebellion, but they know about him - at the very least he kept in contact with Bail Organa.

And like… it’s Obi-wan. On a planet riddled with, in his own words, “scum and villainy.” Like hell he’s managed to spend over two decades keeping his nose out of other peoples’ business or just allowing shit to go on because he’s in hiding. Just saying, that man’s taken down a sizeable number of bandits, thieves, smugglers, and ne’er-do-wells, he’s probably living off either bounty rewards or credits he’s somehow skimmed from the Hutts or something he shouldn’t be doing, because age may bring wisdom, but this is Obi-wan and there’s a reason he and Anakin were friends.

The Tusken raiders are a superstitious lot, but I am willing to put down solid money that they ran off not because of the howling noise but because they recognized that pointy-hooded robe, and, boy howdy, they have learned. Even if that human ain’t fighting back, you don’t mess with him, he’s cursed, do not engage, repeat, do not engage.

And just basically, there’s no way Obi-wan was off living by himself and miserable and atoning and all that. I’m sure he had every intention of doing so when he started, but I am equally sure that plan lasted exactly as long as it took for his first self-made house to collapse while he was fighting off a local gang and screaming about being retired.
