Rex Is A Natural Blond And Ill Fist Fight You Over It. Anyway, I Like To Think Arla Fett And Jangos Mom

Rex is a natural blond and I’ll fist fight you over it. Anyway, I like to think Arla Fett and Jangos mom cheer Rex on from the afterlife like fuck yeah that’s our boy. Like Rex popped into existence with his blond hair and they were like finally, a clone of quality genetics.

wait, love ur space knowledge, now i have a moon query. u said earth's moon is proportionally the hugest but isn't charon like half the size of pluto? which i know is technically a dwarf planet but she's very dear to me so what's the deal with that? thank u

yeah Charon really isn't a moon proper because it's not actually orbiting Pluto, they're orbiting each other!

this means that Pluto and Charon are actually a paired system of orbiting bodies and not a standard planet-moon-system at all, and this is a major reason why Pluto was disqualified from being a planet proper in the first place!

this double-orbit is also a major reason why Pluto's orbit around the Sun is just so unbelievably fucked up.

which, again, is another reason why Pluto got kicked off of the Planets table and had to go sit with Planetoids and Dwarf Planets at the kiddy table.

(thanks a lot, Charon.)

uhhh but yeah basically these two idiot rocks are just holding hands and screaming while they cartwheel wildly through the outer solar system and it's pretty hilarious actually

also speaking of jakub różalski this painting of his is my FAVOURITE like yes girl snitch on the knight!!! get his ass!!!

forreal though not every trans or genderqueer person redacts their whole life once they realize their gender. the ‘i always knew i was a boy/girl, i was never ever the gender assigned to me at birth, not at all, not in any way’ narrative is very true for some people, but that story’s positioning as the only correct non-transphobic way to describe trans people’s lived experiences silences a lot of people who have very different (and less simple and convenient) journeys to their final identity.

some men were girls. some women were boys. that’s how they feel and it’s important to me that they’re respected for it and not scolded for telling the stories of their lives wrong just because other people can’t (or don’t want to) relate. there are so many different ways to grow up trans and to be trans, that someone’s life is always going to be totally alien to someone else, a total contradiction to their own experiences. 

that should be okay. we should all be okay with it. no one narrative about any group of people should be the very definition of all of those people. activism needs to respect diversity of people’s lives, stories, and agency, or it’s just more useless shouting at people who have enough to fucking deal with already. 

Old star wars media really did the Fett family so dirty. There are all these characters who, on paper, I’m really interested in but their visual representation makes me cringe. Arla Fett, Ailyn Vel, Mirta Gev. You know, descended from a Māori family. For some reason, though, (you know the reason) they’re consistently drawn like this: 

Like why! Why do we have to deal with all this! ARLA? Are you KIDDING ME?!!! Stop making them look like white people!!!

Arla would never have blonde hair in a million years, and her skin would be as dark as Jango’s. And similarly, Ailyn and Mirta would have brown skin tones as well. This is clownery. Utter, downright clownery.
