NON-freaks dni. This is a freaks only zone

Realizing you can like people aesthetically without it dictating your sexuality is so liberating tbh. Like, one can adore, even be obsessed with, the looks of someone of the same sex and still be straight. One can find people beautiful, and handsome, and fascinating, and still be asexual. I can like the physical appearance of someone of the opposite sex and still be gay. Finding physical beauty in people doesn’t equal to being physically, or sexually, or romantically attracted to them. Human beauty isn’t inherently sexual. Just wanted to put it out there.
#do you ever cry because gavroche could have been the next generation’s enjolras??? #gavroche had the potential to lead the new era #he could have lead the new generation into revolution #he had all the potential in the world to lead a new group after les amis were gone and if he had survived #he had the spirit and fire in his soul #he was unafraid #just like enjolras #his predecessor #and also just like enjolras #he died too soon

Height difference
Their joint fashion slay
Pretty, scrunchable curls
The ‘he asked for no pickles’ energy
Adorable secret wedding

The way he gently cups her face and she touches his hair when they kiss
And just being so stupidly in love with each other it leads to the downfall of the Republic ❤️
People consistently wonder why a lot of us love Anakin. It’s not cause he’s pretty, because he wasn’t in the end. It’s not because we’re excusing him, because you don’t actually live his character if you excuse his flaws.
Frankly there a million reasons that don’t actually count in the end. But I love him because he never had a chance. Born: slave. Freed: Jedi with only the path of perfection and not realizing that he could have left because he thought if he left it would be back to slavery and didn’t know Obi-Wan would have left with him. Padawan: manipulated by a Sith and twisted into believing lies and that the Jedi were waiting for him to fail and throw away at any second. Knighted: war, knowing that if he left the order NOW, it would be as one of the many Jedi deserters that are being slandered by the media and hated by their own because they didn’t ‘take their vow seriously enough to stay and help the clones’ even knowing that none of them made into Generals would leave the clones unless they fell, because those are dependents and also slaves they’re trying to help. Master: another child relying on him to help them, and too much reliance on himself and he’s starting to collapse in on himself because he never wanted any of this and he’s too young to handle any of it. Sith: slave again. This time twisted and tortured into the perfect weapon for a man who’s been manipulating him since nine, possibly since birth.
He had. What. Maybe five minutes of freedom at the end. We feel for him and love him because he never had a chance and we wish he did. This isn’t an excuse for his actions, but without explanation, it’s just blaming a cornered animal for biting. He made mistakes. Bad ones. But god almighty do I wish there were more fics out there where he had the ability to make other choices because he wasn’t so hurt. So many fix it fics still toss him under the bus. Maybe I just want a world where he was happy. He had five minutes of freedom. I wish he’d had more.
this is Sooo true!! (also like heart shattering damn op take it easy)
I think that one of the reasons for it is also because Anakin's character shows us our potential -- good and bad. The Chosen One had the potential to be the most powerful Jedi -- but he ended up being the most feared Sith of his time. Like George Lucas says, the point of Star Wars is to learn from the story. And I think one of the things I learned from Anakin was that my destiny is in my hands. Even subconsciously I have the choice to destroy it. And I have to make sure that my arrogance, my recklessness, my love for the people close to me, doesn't lead me down the wrong path, like it did Anakin.
It's because of his flaws that he resounds with the audience. I don't love Anakin for his flaws. I love him despite them. Because I relate to them on a personal level.
Lookin at my ships I’ve come to the conclusion that there are several dynamics I tend to fall for:
- outsider and popular kid that under the surface aren’t that different at all (and have a lot of interests in common)
- heroine/hero x villain
- enemies to lovers (or enemies AND lovers)
- bickering couple
- moon x moon
- moon x sun (it can be either their personality or their physical appearance or both. Bonus if the slightly introvert dark haired is full of life and the light haired extrovert deep down thinks they don’t deserve to be loved)
- short passionate (and/or full of rage) woman and the over than 1 ft taller than her person she has to deal/is stuck with
- I hate everything and everyone but the love of my life
- shared trauma
- girlboss power couple
Give me one or more of these tropes and there’s a really high chance that I’ll ship that ship to hell and back
