I know their single “Soldier, Poet, King” hugely trended in 2022 on TikTok and Instagram especially in the ren faire, DnD, & cosplay scene but man do I think a lot about Oh Hello’s song Torches criticizing Nationalism and the violence of rightwing marches

I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth)
It's got you burning at the stake, innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take.
And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all)
As he sets our torch aflame, chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create.
I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.
best scene in the prequels is when anakin and padme have just landed on naboo & padme goes “hmm being a childqueen might’ve fucked me up a bit” and anakin, former 9yo slave separated from his mom, confronted for perhaps the first time with the idea that childhood trauma effects you later in life, goes “nuh uh”
i love being a star wars fan. yes, i spend all my free time thinking about star wars. no, i don't know anything that happens there. yes, i have very extensive knowledge on coruscant lower-level fauna. no, i don't understand the timeline but objectively it's not even my fault. of course i've read through traviss' mado'a language guide and dictionary. does anyone understand hyperlanes. don't ask me about their military ranking system or i will jump out of the window
i will say. even before shmi was tortured to death, even if you don't process the harsh slave labor or literal implanted explosive device to keep her from running away, shmi is a body horror character because her pregnancy is not consensual. obviously lucas is recalling mary and her immaculate conception but mary was TOLD what was going to happen. she was told she was carrying the child of the lord. that is an essential part of the story. and shmi was not!! she just woke up one day and was pregnant. she didn't know anything about the force. she probably knew next to nothing about pregnancy. she had to carry and give birth in the unimaginable conditions of slavery, with no idea what was happening to her . that's the kind of fear i don't think could ever be tackled properly in a kids movie (esp with it's real world parallels) but that it's not even discussed in fandom is unfortunate
