I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR

all I ask for in the new star wars films is leia with a lightsaber

I don’t think they give non-force sensitives lightsabers, but I also don’t think they’ve established Leia as force sensitive or not, so who knows

leia is anakin’s daughter. if she’s not force sensitive, I’ll eat my shoe.

The heck do you mean “they haven’t established Leia as Force-sensitive?”

Have you not seen Empire Strikes Back? The movie where her Force-sense was pinging every five minutes? Or in Return of the Jedi: “The Force is strong in my family. I have it. My father has it. My sister has it.” “In time, you’ll learn to use that power too.”

Leia is just as much a basket of potential-Jedi as Luke is.

“No, there is another.” HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Because girl.

“In Expanded Universe materials set after Return of the Jedi, Leia is portrayed as a founding member of the New Republic. Although most of her life is devoted to such matters of state, she engages in limited study of the Jedi arts, with Luke as her teacher. Notably, she wields a blue lightsaber that she built herself.” [x]

fake geek boys

Even the dang trailer SPELLS “My sister has it”

“I’m sure Luke wasn’t on that thing when it blew…” “He wasn’t. I can feel it.”

fake geek boys

this post is golden

reblogging cause one of my followers tried to tell me Leia isn’t force sensitive 

if it wasn’t for Leia’s force-sensitivity Luke would still be dangling from that antennae under the Cloud City one hand short

Didn’t someone once say that the reason the storm troopers are such horrible shots around leia, is because she’s using a passive force ability subconsciously and deflecting the storm troopers aim?

BATTLE MEDITATION

I AM SO MAD THAT I NEVER MADE THAT CONNECTION. such a cool force ability and yet it’s never utilized nearly enough!

“Not force sensitive,” my fucking left nut, mate.

Pop an Adderall before casting spells if you need to Hocus Focus.

The anticore started as a joke but it is legitimately alarming

THE MEEP

She tries to take back her families business only to find that it’s been taken over by a cult of Evil Cowboys

are you kidding i’d watch the fuck out of this

Her love interest is an Actual Cowboy from the Old West who was the greatest gunslinger of their age and who won countless duels, but they still aren’t as good at it as she is because of Reasons

Reason being she has the Guns of Pecos Bill.

*internal screams of joy*

Do not do this to me my husband is a historical reenactor and weapon historian I know so much about this shit.

My brain is over flowing. Like like i love and hate the idea of it being Pecos Bill because on one hand I can think of 4 real humans I would want it to be and on the other Pecos Bill is BRILLIANT because he is a myth and tweeking things are less likely to hurt historians in their souls.

Also if it’s Pecos Bill she would also have his lasso.

You guys. Don’t do this to me.

The Lasso is too OP and you know it!

As someone who knows very little about the Wild Wild West other than that it was the inspiration for a terrible Will Smith film, I am curious to know more about this because I do not know who Pecos Bill is or about his guns/lasso

Pecos Bill is an American folklore hero in the same vein as Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed. Among his feats included being raised by coyotes, using a pet rattlesnake for a lasso, using said sneklasso to wrangle a tornado, and snacking on dynamite. He fell in love with a woman he met while she was riding a giant catfish down the Rio Grande, but his horse got jealous and sabotaged the relationship.

In other words, he’s the perfect legendary figure for Quickdraw (as I now dub our Asian reverse Iron Fist) to inherit her powers from

*shrieks happily* Yes yes yes I need this.

Quickdraw feels kinda generic for a super hero name. I’d say using the naming conventions of Iron Fist I’d name her something like the Raging Gun.

Iron Six.

Can refer to the six shots on a revolver, her having six guns (each with their own name, naturally*), or her nearly-supernatural abilities to follow her enemies and show up behind them (”on their six.”)

Pecos Bill might be an old man or even a myth-spirit in the way of Discworld gods (dependent on belief, fading away without it), the elderly mentor who devotes himself to training a hero/chosen one/heir to be better than he ever was. She can represent the future of the art while the old white guy represents the past, as an inversion of both many martial arts movies and many westerns where Asian and Native American characters, respectively, pass their torches to the white dude.

*The guns are named things like Golden Sunset and Deep Canyon and Silence After Battle, poetically referencing both the vibrant geography of the Old West and the weapon’s function of ending lives.

Or/and she gets Pecos Bill’s horse which broke up his relationship by throwing his wife to the moon on their wedding day

The horse is given to her by Pecos Bill as payback for the wife thing, but they actually get along great. The horse is to her as Appa is to Aang. A guide and friend. They’re there for each other in the dark and cold times and in the good times. He may or may not be able to speak. Its an ongoing joke that Iron Six will say “Widow Maker/Lightning was just telling me…” or they’ll be alone somewhere together and she’ll be whispering but will stop as soon as someone comes near.

Better and better.

Pecos Bill is old, centuries old or wind-and-skies old or whatever, and his original horse has run wild with other wild horses and has many descendants now. One of Iron Six’s tasks over the years of her training is to tame and train a foal, which grows up to be her horse. 

And thus, she can learn the ways of the horses and the language of the horses, and teach them all sorts of things, so when she goes into town she can see plain as day which people the horse is afraid of, or she can teach the horse to recognize certain phrases that other people might say as a command to bite whoever’s saying it, and the result is people thinking the horse can understand human speech and talk to Iron Six.

One day some guy tries to steal her horse while she’s in a bar. Jumps on and digs his heels in and the horse just turns around, looks at him like he’s being stupid, and finds something interesting to nose at on the ground.

Dude’s friends laugh at him, dude gets angry, dude starts kicking at the horse, horse stands there calmly and then suddenly rears and dumps him off behind.

And then poops on him.

Dude gets up, furious and humiliated, borrows a whip from his friends, and is about to strike the horse with it and the horse calmly walks away.

More laughter, more fury, and that’s about when Iron Six shows up in the doorway.

Not a word.

She doesn’t go for her guns. She walks up to the guy, takes the whip out of his hand, he goes for his gun and she decks him. He hits the ground with a broken nose and the gun goes bouncing into the dust.

She picks it up, looks at it, sends it sailing into a nearby water trough. “Garbage,” she says. “Now, about my horse,” she says, and whips the would-be horse thief half to shreds.

Tosses the whip back to its owner, tips her hat to the rest of them, and her horse is right there when she turns around to climb on.

@emiliers WHY COULDN’T WE HAVE GOTTEN THIS INSTEAD

Things food snobs are wrong about

It pisses me off when big time chefs go “guys do you not know what goes into canned meatballs? They’re disgusting!” yeah parts of the animal they don’t use for anything else and also they’re tasty fuck you

@lazysatyr wanted sources so here you go

Organic farms produce up to 25% less food for the same amount of land used as opposed to conventional modern farms, and almost never produce more food.

Organic farms also, due to the nature of organic food being more labor and resource intensive, rely strongly on slave and underpaid labor even in America.

It is harder to back the nutritional value of greasy foods, but typically known fatty foods, such as red meats, cheese, and various oils, are found in diets that are intentionally high in fat, but low in carbohydrates. THese are called ketogenic diets and oddly enough are considered quite healthy and good for weight loss.

The Harvard School of Public Health conducted a meta-analysis that found healthy eating habits cost about $1.50 more per day than if someone were not as health-conscious.

“Processed” is so vague and broad that you could define almost every food ever as processed unless you plucked it from the ground yourself.

Alpha-Linolenic-Acid, Asparagine, D-Categin, Isoqurctrin, Hyperoside, Ferulic-Acid, Farnesene, Neoxathin, Phosphatidyl-Choline, Reynoutrin, Sinapic-Acid, Caffeic-Acid, Chlorogenic-Acid, P-Hydroxy-Benzoic-Acid, P-Coumaric-Acid, Avicularin, Lutein, Quercitin, Rutin, Ursolic-Acid, Protocatechuic-Acid, and Silver are all chemicals found in apples.

Turns out excessive preservatives aren’t super great for you. Traditional ways of preserving foods, such as pickling or dehydrating, aren’t bad for you but things like nitrites in meat are.

However, artificial flavors are more often than not the exact same chemical one would find in nature, except synthesized in a lab. This means they can be produces in greater quantities and with less harm to the environment than by extracting them from natural sources. Again, there is no chemical difference whatsoever between natural and artificial flavors, the difference is only where they come from.

A horse’s worth of MSG injected into a mouse will cause health problems, but people are not mice and we don’t inject it. No consistent negative health effects have been linked to MSG.

I could find no material that references pig snouts and chicken necks as any different from meat from the more commonly eaten parts of those animals. Most people use them in soups to make a stronger broth, since they do contain a lot of flavor despite not a lot of tangible meat.

GMOs have no negative health affects, as has been shown by countless studies for the past couple decades. Crops are genetically modified to allow for healthier alternatives to pesticides, high crop yields over a smaller area of land, and reduced consumption of water and fertilizer by the crops. GMOs are much better for the health of humans, the environment, and society as a whole in the long term.

Hey thanks! I didn’t add sources to the original post just because I thought it was minor personal venting and not something that would get tens of thousands of notes.

quite frankly, just about anything you eat is a GMO, it’s just been modified by centuries of selective breeding. drought-resistant rice isn’t a mad science monster. please calm down everyone.

This is the greatest insult in the history of television.
