kinda funny that steve rogers, a chronically ill son of first gen immigrants, was raised by a single mom in brooklyn into an anti fascist progressive man who stood up everyday against oppressors. and that cap 2 was about an AI surveillance state & how easily the government could be corrupted/compromised. and that cap 3 was about accords that would strip enhanced individuals of their autonomy and turn them into pawns/breathing weapons & a tortured POW who was villainized. and how in infinity war steve rogers had become a world wide fugitive doing what he thought was right even if it wasn’t legal.

Rebels is great because (at least at the beginning) the subtext is that Kanan is out of his mind wondering how to teach Ezra to be the Jedi he never got to grow into. He's wondering how he, an overgrown padawan, can represent an entire culture that was wiped brutally, violently, tragically from the face of the galaxy while still remaining true to the person he grew up to be. He's having dreams and visions of death and destruction and grief, he's reckoning with his past, with the person he is, with the Jedi he will become. He's falling in love and raising 2 kids and fighting the ever-present specter of fascism. He's looking at his lightsaber, the last relic of a lifetime that seems so foreign to him that he changed his name and he's trying to figure out how begin teaching a student who's as old as he was when his training was ended by trauma and death.

Do you think Sabine ever off-handedly mentioned how some mandos thought Korkie was the secret love child of the Duchess of mandalore and everyone else was like, “was that not what happened??”

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

Their oral history also contains stories about hunting prehistoric megafauna too. Native Australians are the oldest existing culture on earth, which is even more amazing considering how hard the british tried to wipe it out.
