"Don't question my missing sanity"

Level 2: The Phantom Menace is the fourth Star Wars film because it was made after the original trilogy.

Level 3: The Phantom Menace is the sixth Star Wars film because, in addition to the original trilogy, The Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle For Endor (1985) also precede it in production order.

Cute how people who say this shit dont say transphobia doesnt exist just because shitty parents might kick out a trans kid because they think it's because they're gay. It's all terrible and parents being bigoted and neglectful and abusive. To parents like that it doesn't matter if you're gay or trans or ace, it's all the same to them and they don't want you in their family.

Using this as a "gotcha" to belittle the experiences of those who've gotten kicked out after coming out with the bonus of not even being believed for what they came out as is disgusting.

In this recent UK study cis asexuals were the most likely to have conversion therapy equal to cis gay/lesbian people. And the most likely to have it offered.

1) Stop equating sexuality to behavior. Don’t do it with gay people, don’t do it for ace people.

2) Faith based groups, especially those who are not pro-LGBTQ don’t magically see aces as acceptable. They view them as not-straight therefore wrong.

3) If you are abstinent it’s supposed to be a sacrifice you suffer through to show your strong faith. Sex is meant to be your reward for being married. Being abstinent in a faith based groups works until you are meant to get married, be fruitful, or summit to your husband. The moment you decide you don’t want any of that for yourself now or in the future it’s a seen as a problem.

4) You’ll note that lots of number 3 is sexism, sex negativity, and the forced continuation of nuclear families something that directly and indirectly adds to homophobia and transphobia. And instead of saying “hey this ace, this victim of abuse, gives us an opportunity to discuss all of those wrongs in society, plenty of people just reblog “but why would you kick a virgin out??”

Straight people hates whoever is not straight by their moral compass. They see anything LGBTQIA+ related as a slur and dirt .

Obviously the cast. They all perform and mesh so well together, and it’s so obvious they’re having fun. I could give each one they’re own bullet, but I won’t because it’d be long as fuck

These younger versions of the TOS crew...I love them. Such a good and different dynamic putting a bunch of 20-somethings (exception Bones and Scotty) on a ship and shoving them out to space???? Iconic

Spock Prime (and by extension Leonard Nimoy) :(

The fucking SOUND DESIGN holy FUCK. I love it so much and it’s established within 10 seconds of the first movie and IT SLAPS

The sheer CHAD energy Uhura gives off at the bar in the first movie. We AAAALLLLLLL know that Jim would have gotten pegged that night and that’s that on that

I love how industrial the engine rooms/bowels of the ships are. It really adds to the sense of scale and I think it’s just *chef’s kiss*

Michael Giacchino himself came into my house and gave me rights when he dropped the ST soundtracks. KING SHIT.

If you can have the Beastie Boys on your movie’s soundtrack, you have zero (0) excuse to not do that

They also imply that the Academy is basically college except everyone is somehow more feral because it’s space and honestly...fucking valid

THE ENTERPRISE!!! THE SILVER LADY HERSELF!!!! SHES SO SMOOTH AND SHINY AND CURVY!!!! WHATS HER SKINCARE ROUTINE????????

On that note I am a simple woman. I see shiny space ship I receive serotonin

AOS really leans into relative orientation in space and I love it

Pew Pew

The DRESS UNIFORMS!!!??? HELLO??!!!

Pike’s Dad Energy™

That One Scene, where Sarek tells Spock he married Amanda because he loved her???? Made me believe in love again

The glo-up from Baby Crew in 2009 to the Distinguished, More TOS Crew in Beyond??? StUNNing

If you stop and REEEEEEAAAAALLLLLY watch you can catch so many references/homages to OG Trek and once you find them...it’s amazing

The little humor breaks here and there

“Out of the Chair”

Jim Kirk’s aging into a fine, distinguished Himbo as god intended

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (Deleted Scenes)

Today I learned there is clones/Tem-in-Jedi-robes footage.

Apparently the scene where Obi-Wan and Yoda return to the Jedi could have been very different (flashing GIF under the cut).
