So glad to know Jacen is as absolutely beloved by everyone around him as he is by all of us. He’s charmed everyone from a Jedi dropout and her ancient droid to the chancellor of the New Republic Kanan would be so proud

Do you ever think about how common eclipses must be on Coruscant, which not only has FOUR moons, but has zero unpopulated surface area?
Eclipses are awesome, but they're also Events to us because Earth's so covered in water and inhabited areas are comparatively limited, so it's special when we can actually see them. But that's probably not the case for a lot of (most) planets.

Need to ramble about SW to distract myself from everything going on.
Something that's stuck with me about Ahsoka beyond, like, everything is how happy I am for Genevieve O'Reilly? Because I mean, look at how insane the last twenty (!!!) years have been.
She was cast as young Mon Mothma around 2003 (I don't remember exactly when, but I remember seeing a pic from them doing a wig test that was dated 2003 a little while ago). She got all but one of her scenes cut out of Revenge of the Sith (don't get me started on that I'm still mad about those scenes being cut for so many reasons) and the only one that stayed in is a scene where she doesn't even speak, and that's it. There's publicity photos and some deleted scenes, and that was her Star Wars legacy for eleven years.
And then she gets a co-starring role in Rogue One, getting to play the character again.
And then again in Rebels, getting to deliver half of what I think is one of the best dialogue exchanges about the Rebellion's philosophy—so basically half of Star Wars itself's entire philosophy—that I've ever heard.
And then again in Andor, as a main character, with all her complexities and just like everything about it because it's so flipping good.
And now here she is again in Ahsoka, playing the character past the timeframe of the original role, as a leader, getting to build on practically everything she's done before now.
And now she's not just portraying 'younger Mon Mothma', she is portraying Mon Mothma, she's the definitive version (at least to me, no shade to OG actress Caroline Blakiston) and everyone I've seen and heard talk about her since Andor loves the character.
Just. I love Mon Mothma. I am so happy for Genevieve O'Reilly.

Got my hair cut a couple days ago to start off my holidays, so very happy with it :) My stylist gifted it to me, so may as well show y'all the first gift I got :) Don't show my face much here, shit self-esteem does that. (I have Ko.Fi here if y'all want to get me a cake lol)
It's year 42 for me today, and you know what? I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. I've still got a mountain of issues, stress and just all around "being me"-ness, but I think today will be a good day <3

The fact that the Chandrillan girls are fully embracing the culture that both Mon and Vel aren't very fond of speaks of cultural dysphoria.
Being away from their home planet, from its culture, they may have formed an idealized version of Chandrillan customs in their heads. A custom that they're fully embracing because it's giving them a semblance of home, something that they won't get in Coruscant.
It's like a mainland vs immigrant thing

My two cents on the whole 'ride Pokemon aren't nobles' debacle with PLA; I frankly think its kinda dumb that they made a big deal in game about the Ten Pokemon that fought with the Ancient Hero... but only treat half of them as worthy religious figures for whatever reason.
I've always approached it as there being two different levels of Nobles - The Greater/Offensive (aka the canon Nobles™️) and the Lesser/Defensive (aka the canon Ride 'mons). The Offensive ones are those that would take battles head-on to keep it far away to protect the Clans whereas the Defensive would focus on directly keeping the Clans safe. Hence why they would over time become the Ride 'mons, as they would carry people safely away from the dangerous battles.
The Ride mons might get a little less direct respect overtime because the common person is simply more familiar with them, more chummy, compared to the others who keep their distance and cause people to fall back on overly respectful to make up for any discomfort. But they are ultimately all still Nobles at the end of the day.
Of course, this is just my fanon take. It certainly is my approach for the Catching Trains fic (not that its been of much focus lol). But it's my sandbox too so I figure I'll build castles the way I like.
