I love Keiko and Miles. Just two normal average people, trying to make it work at a shit garbage alien frontier outpost, filled with creepy lunatics and Space monsters.

Food-related thoughts, courtesy of chatter with @mystical-salamander:
- Parts of Coruscant, especially in the extra-dense areas, don't have any cooking implements in the apartments besides a microwave and small fridge. (Hot plates are a fire hazard.) Instead of cooking for themselves, residents visit food vendors or buy microwave meals. Prepackaged snacks that don't require refrigeration are also common.
- You know those 'microwave hacks' and 'MRE hacks' and 'prison food hacks?' That's the kind of "cooking" that Kallus knows.
- In contrast, Zeb learned how to cook both at home and at school, and had an abundance of fresh food to work with. Lasan's dominant government put out standardized cookbooks of healthy, easy to make meals for the home ec classes. These standard meals often vary, changed to match regional tastes, in individual schools.
- The Wookies, being close allies and intellectual partners with Lasan, have these cookbooks saved as part of their Lasani Remembrance Archives. Alderaan also made a habit of trying to preserve at-risk cultures, and had copies in their own archives.
- There's a big part of the holonet devoted to saving old recipes and adapting them to new circumstances--the Lasani diaspora is just one of many peoples trying to cope with being away from 'home.'
- Zeb looks for Lasani recipes and subsitutions for Lasani spices, of course, but he also searches for recipes from Ryloth, Mandalore, and--the hardest to find--the Jedi Temple. When a Spectre is feeling particularly down, Zeb will make them something from their home to cheer them up.

trans men and women learn a lot from each other when we get close and it's a wonderful thing. it's okay to be dysphoric about manhood. it's okay to be dysphoric about womanhood. it's okay to not like he/him pronouns, to not like she/her pronouns. it's okay to not like how strangers gender you. it's okay to talk about these things with each other, to share mutual disgust, to see how it affects one another and how it shapes our identities and experiences.
it's okay to talk about the things that make you uncomfortable together. it's not invalidating each other's experiences to have conversations like saying "i'm so tired of being seen as a man no matter what, and being around people who treat me like a man" to a trans man and having the trans man respond by saying "i feel the same way about people who treat me like a woman" and agree to not project one's trauma on to the other
it's okay to be vulnerable. it's okay to admit when we don't understand certain parts of each others experiences, too. we do NOT have to act like experts and like we've "read the book" on what another person's gender is. even if we think we know a lot about that gender, we don't know everything, because we don't know everyone. literally. it's okay to go "i don't understand, but I'll call you whatever you identify as." and be receptive without knowing exactly what they mean.
we don't understand many things in life. that's fine. it's okay to just listen and not talk for once. you don't have to try to speak as though you've lived as a trans man when you're a trans women, and you don't have to speak for trans women if you're a trans man. we are allowed to advocate for our own experiences and simultaneously listen to other queer experiences and respect their boundaries, spaces, and needs.
there is a lot to learn about the challenges that trans women face, the unique struggles that come with some being raised as boys and the troubles that come with that, being seen as a feminine boy, being subjected to homophobia- getting called faggots and other slurs. some were raised as girls, some are intersex, and some are afab or other birth sexes, and the mixing of masculinity and femininity and cause a lot of issues when it comes to how society treats that person
there are lots of conversations that have to be listened to when it comes to the transmasculine experience and how nobody but transmasc people can articulate what it's like to live as a transmasculine person. no one can speculate on it, because it is such a unique experience. it is a complicated matter of several different types of prejudice that no one else can quite understand where it comes from and how it feels unless they've been there
it is so deeply rooted in misogyny, where people treat us like "stupid, confused women," like we're "destroying children" that we're 'destroying our bodies', that our hormones make us "unstable, irritable and emotional," and that we are unreliable narrators. we get called hysterical. we get told we're "ruining a pretty girl" or wasting our "pretty" features. we get lectured about how we need to be attractive and how testosterone will ruin that by our own parents. we get told we can't dress masc because it will make us "ugly" or "butch" or "dykes".
people hate it when we bind our breasts, cut our hair, hide our curves, change our gait, and stop wearing makeup. they lose a "girl" to ogle and become enraged, upset or uncomfortable. while the transmasc person is trying to navigate life in a way where they don't feel objectified, it becomes a matter of even worse objectification because now antimasculism is introduced into the mix and the experience becomes transandrophobia.
people are so hateful and bitter toward manhood and masculinity. people ask us "why would you EVER want to be a man? NOBODY wants to be a man." they tell us "men are ugly, violent, and mean." people tell us that men are sexual predators, that they're inherently abusive. people tell us that testosterone makes people ugly. they tell us that men aren't or can't be queer. they tell us we can't be a feminine man. they tell us we can't be men at all, that transmasculinity isn't even a thing, that transmanhood isn't a thing. we even get told that the only way to be trans is to be transfeminine, and what we are experiencing is a delusion, hysteria, or a result of us being hormonal from being on our periods and/or HRT.
when we listen to each others' experiences we realize how people who are othered by society are treated. we learn that not only we experiencing this, but so is everyone around us. we do not have to try to make one side's experience more important than another's. we can hold each other up by having conversations and being vulnerable about what's going on, how we're being treated, how we want to be treated, and how the community is failing us and how we can do better.
we deserve to have conversations. there's a lot to learn, a lot to laugh about, a lot to relate to, and a lot to be curious about. these conversations are good to have. it's good to admit when you know nothing about transmasculinity or transfemininity or any other identity. it's okay to ask respectful questions. it's okay to tell people when you appreciate their identities, and them explaining it to you. it's okay to just listen. it really is. we have to learn to listen it's not something that can be avoided perpetually for life. listening to someone else's conversation does not erase yours, it does not take it away from the equation. they exist together.

what does mace windu have against one-parented children, recently had been separated from/witnessed the death of said one parent??? (yes, i am talking about anakin and boba)
will i ever get over that one scene in clone wars when a recently-abandoned boba says to windu that he started it when he killed his father, to which windu replies with "get over it 😜" and promptly gets him escorted to prison? hmm.... no.
Was he too mean to the person who just murdered a bunch of soldiers by putting a bomb on his ship? How dare he not like someone who put him in the hospital because he nearly killed him with another bomb?
Anyway, a black character could say a line the director and script writer intended to be both fatherly and correct and still hate him because their racist little minds will never accept a stern, black man who doesn't smile and fawn over the main white character, as a good person.
mace doesnt say “get over it”. boba says “i’ll never forgive you,” and mace responds “you’re going to have to,” while, imo, looking at boba with incredible sadness. boba is promising to uphold the cycle of violence that mace doesnt want to engage with. mace is aware of the damage he’s caused to young boba’s life, but also sees the lengths boba will go to in order to exact revenge. it’s not callous; it’s serene. he’s not going to baby someone who just killed a significant number of men, even if it is a child. he’s not going to take revenge either. he directly says what he earnestly believes, as a jedi, will bring boba peace: letting go.

It’s 2025 and I’m revamping my blog again !! Time to play catch up with some comics !
First of: This homage to Sylvanian Families, my fave critters
I never was able to get more than two as a kid. Decades later, I am able to do that here and there. It gives me such joy.

After the Empire fall, Luke, Cal and Ezra meet up for the boys night out. At some point, they start comparing bounties on their heads.
Cal: Around 1,7 million.
Luke: That low? It was 6.2 on me.
Cal: Doesn't count, you were wanted alive. Daddy wanted his son back, mine was all because I was pain in the Empire's ass.
Luke: Yeah, yeah. What about you Ezra?
Ezra: If you sum it up, I think it was about 3.3 million.
Cal: Sum it up? What are you on about?
Ezra: It was 1.3 million on Ezra Bridger, 500 thousand on Dev Morgan, 800 thousand on, and I quote, "kid in orange going by the name Jabba the Hut", I managed to up Lando Carlissian's bounty by 300 thousand so I count it as mine and had the bounty of 112 thousand on the name Bromtitus, which I'm sure original commander Bromtitus had to thoroughly explain to his superiors.
Cal is confused at how Ezra was operating thruout his time.
Luke is confused cause math ain't mathing.
