I love his voice but

WHAT THE FUCK

It is in the interest of the Empire to suffocate the cultures of people. This is why Thrawn steals Hera's kalikori, why Lothal is so gray and frankly sad under the rule of Pryce. All in all when leader sees mine she sees her as an obstacle to her culture. Mon is why she can't live on Chandrila, why she can't be so immersed and just wrapped in her culture that she sees the issues with it. Leida sees Mon as an imperial because Mon hates her culture.

We as an audience know that Mon is a rebel. Perrin is likely perceptive to the fact that Monnis a rebel, but Leida doesn't see any of these things. All she sees is a mother who doesn't care about her, whose life is wrapped up in the Empire, and who hates their culture despite being the senator of their planet. It's because of this I think that Leida believes that her mother is a fake progressive, a fake liberal, who Rebels to prove a point. Or to appeal to Chandrila which tends to be a more traditional society. Who does eventually resist the Empire.

I don't think she's a radical who wants to burn everything obviously, but she's not as traditionalistic as I feel a lot of the fandom makes her out to be. She's embracing tradition because she knows it's her little act of rebellion against her mother, she's wrong for it do not get me wrong. But she is a diaspora kid and she needs some kind of culture or anything to keep her grounded.

I know technically Maxwell Lord has already been casted, but here’s my fancast! Jason Bateman! He literally has the PERFECT looks for Max. The same hair, eyebrows, face shape, eye color (most of the time, Max’s eyes switch between blue and brown) AND even smile!! Jason Bateman has played a lot of scheme-y, dry-witted and sarcastic characters before, which fits Max perfectly! Especially in the early JLI days. If only he could do a voice like Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane, (which he probably could do), he would be absolutely PERFECT!!

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

The blood runs deep in the soil that those genocidal empires touched with those unworthy hands of theirs.

Their decadents desecrate our lands with their greed and deny our existence while hiding our ancestors stories and histories.

Until their modern empires fall, we will all continue to be enslaved, we all will be under their hands as they grab and take whatever they please.

I blinked and suddenly i had a valentine ~ 💌

connor’s need for approval is such an intrinsic part of who he is as a person

the way he tries so hard to appeal to amanda in the deviant route (and the machine route but i’m mostly focusing on deviant connor) and at first he’s just following orders but as the game progresses he’s scrambling for some sense of her approval to assure himself he’s useful, that he has a purpose, and projecting his own personal sense of self value onto her.

so when she rejects him it rocks his sense of self to the core which is a central theme to connor’s character: identity and repression. who is he without approval? without an order to follow?

and the saddest part of it is that he still clings to her even when her thinly veiled apathy towards him turns into outward disdain. even when cyberlife tries to resume control of his program at the end of the deviant route it’s amanda he still calls out to: for answers? for her comfort?

which makes me wonder post game about the kind of trauma connor has to deal with after finally freeing himself from cyberlife and amanda, who he had once so desperately wanted to please.

Amanda is a handler that was intended specifically for RK800 models as far as we're aware since the other androids don't mention having Handlers. Most assume Kamski made Connor and that's why Amanda is his Handler. I however I disagree. Amanda only really mentions that Cyberlife made her and I know Kamski says he leaves an emergency exit thing in all his machines so that leaves one to assume he made Connor but I think Cyberlife is just reusing from Kamski's original android designs.

Anyway. So Cyberlife created Amanda to be a Handler for RK800s. But that's so... Silly to me!

Back to the topic of Kamski. As far as what we see in Kamski's home, he only has a painting from Carl in his pool room, picture of himself in the entrance room (living room?) and a picture of himself beside Amanda. Clearly Amanda is important to Kamski since he's choosing a photo of himself beside her over a photo of his family or something in his home. And as we know it's because she was a supportive Professor and role model in his life. She looks very sweet in the photo.

And Cyberlife obviously must have met her or heard of her to create a whole AI handler model with her voice (I assume).

And that's what's so silly to me! Imagine your favorite teacher/professor gets an AI model clone meant for a police robot!

I wonder what Professor Stern must've been like!
