Hello there

the shang-chi fight scenes honestly didn’t have to go THIS hard 

Some headcanons for Hunter's dynamic with the rest of the Bad Girl Coven when he joins because OF COURSE he will:

(he's going to join the found family. he's going to. he will. he is going to be loved and cherished and valued and shown real affection and *starts crying*) - He has a very brother-and-sister vibe with Luz. They love each other, he's eternally grateful to her, they love studying wild magic together, and he loves learning about glyphs, but they ALWAYS do the most to bug the other. Luz teases Hunter and playfully pokes him to get a reaction and she's always successful, but THEN he sees how Luz is around Amity and. hehe. Suddenly he has fodder for playful teasing revenge.

- Also hugs. He needs hugs and Luz loves giving hugs and yes. them. hugging. (please let him be hugged.) - He and Amity. just. Understand each other. They will sit in the living room of the Owl House in silence and just Vibe for hours, Amity reading Azura and Hunter reading texts on wild magic, and occasionally they will make Understanding Eye Contact. On the flip side, they also love to gush about their respective interests to the other, and they always listen to what the other has to say.

- Amity also helps Hunter do his research in the library and they make up some bs about Important Emperor's Coven Business in order to access all those Restricted Books on Things The Emperor Doesn't Want You To Know, and it becomes an inside joke with them, where they act out more and more outlandish reasons in order to get to the books to each other, while everyone else looks on with varying degrees of amusement, confusion, and concern.

- They also talk about family issues. It's cathartic. Amity realises that Hunter never got Supportive Older Siblings and decides (maybe? ill-advisedly) to introduce him to Emira and Edric. This goes about as well as you would expect. But at the end of that meet up, Hunter just. can't stop smiling. Amity thinks that maybe this wasn't such a bad decision after all. - Gus can't stop draping himself all over Hunter. With finger guns, side hugs, etc, and Gus' endless stream-of-consciousness talking style, Gus just. drags Hunter everywhere because "Oh wow! It's another guy in the Bad Girl Coven! We're bros now. We are officially bros."

- Gus tries to act all cool around Hunter in order to impress him, which fools nobody, but Hunter is just kinda overwhelmed by Gus' enthusiasm and also he's once again amazed he has Yet Another Friend that he just. goes along with it. - He and Willow are besties. yes. At first, he's kinda terrified of her because of her power and Pure Feral Energy, but quickly realises she's really warm the rest of the time.

- Willow is very affectionate around Hunter and Hunter is just. internally sobbing like "oh my god you're so sweet what did I do to deserve this"

- Hunter always listens to Willow gush about her plants and he takes Very Detailed Notes because this stuff is helpful to his research (and also he thinks Willow is Very Cool) - Eda is soo incredibly nice to him and supportive of his rebellion and at first he's kinda afraid of her because he has Trauma but quickly realises Eda is absolutely awesome

- She encourages him to embrace his inner desire to Disobey The Emperor and do Illegal Things and after a while she is 100% successful

- She gives him the love and affection he has so desperately been lacking and the first time she praises him he bursts into tears. This is followed by a hug from Eda. It's very sweet.

- Hunter is worried Eda will kick him out when she finds out who he is but she's like. "Kid. You're fine. I literally housed and cared for my estranged sister who cursed me as children. What matters is that you've rebelled, and you deserve to be cared for because Belos is an abusive asshole."

- Cue Hunter crying once again

- Yeah Eda just adopts Hunter as one of her children. Hunter is shocked but incredibly grateful and there are a lot of tears.

- When he meets Lilith again, at first Lilith is like. "Ugh. It's the young whippersnapper. Little brat." but very quickly she realizes "Oh wow. This is a literal child. This is a literal actual child who is heavily traumatized. I am so sorry, I am so glad you're safe, come on let's do some illegal research together I have soooo much info on what you're looking for, you won't even begin to believe it" Anyways please let this poor child be loved he needs it

People really will praise Ahsoka as a character and then totally ignore her actual character. It’s fucking wild.

someone just told me ahsoka would hate obi-wan for confronting anakin on mustafar and would have stopped him from trying to fight anakin — my brain is just too full from a work weekend to handle this nonsense — I will be back later to deal with this

It is really weird people seem so convinced that a group of 10,000 people(total btw not all of them are fully trained or still in fighting condition) could somehow tear down a system spanning hundreds of thousands if not millions of planets in a place where they have very little authority and there is little Republic presence.

Hell even if they got the Republic to raise an army to launch a full scale invasion to stamp out slavery they still have to go through the process of rebuilding the outer rim and maintaining a presence so that slavery does not just waltz back in(just look at the news to see how such interventions can really fuck up.) Not to mention just how bloody and likely wildly unpopular that would be. Talking about tearing oppressive system is one thing but keeping it from spiraling out of control is a whole other thing.

I think that became the fundamental problem with the Jedi, they serve politics rather than what is right. If they just go the Hutt space and destroy the slavers, who’s going the stop them?

So, your position is that the Jedi should have been vigilantes who act like superheroes who go around intervening in whatever they want to, without regard for other countries' jurisdiction or the consequences of those actions or the fact that they did not have the numbers to wage that kind of war? This sounds like a snide answer, but it’s not meant to be one, it’s just that it’s always ignored that SW isn’t a consequences-free narrative when it comes to actions like that, and the Jedi aren’t meant to be vigilante superheroes.  (Nor do I think a group of people just casually doing whatever they want--regardless of whether or not they think they’re right--is a great idea, because that’s like saying a group of people should go invade North Korea because they think it’s right, like, do you know how bad that would be.)
