You know... we never ACTUALLY see her die, right? I say she had befriended the rancor during her time there, so she was able to trick Jabba and the others above, and sneak out a back exit. Hey, compared to "Darth Maul survived getting cut in half some how", this is entirely plausible.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

So if anyone else had a similar thought, it's okay to have that reflexive thought, but you have to remind yourself that it's not about you. They have to live with it. And if it doesn't work for them, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not.

My first thought was "But I like how your voice sounds. It sounds friendly and kind!" But it's YOUR voice. I'M not the one who needs to like it. And while it's good to be accepting of people just the way they are, it's equally important to accept people wanting to change something about themselves.

People in rubbery costumes! I don't care if it looks fake, I prefer physical costumes to CG characters when possible. (This is just a personal preference, not an objective fact. And there are things CG can do that props can't. But still.)

Michael may be a very flawed person with a lot of problems, but the way he praised Pam's art and said he was proud of her was so wholesome and perfect! If nothing else, for one scene he was a hero. Sometimes, all an artist wants is to be told that what they made was good and meaningful :, )

I saw the new Superman movie yesterday. I can see why Ben Shapiro didn't like it, because it was a good movie! That guy continues to be an accurate predictor of movie qualities in the way that a compass that always points South is a good indicator of direction.

Neutral Good. You do so much and care so much about the well-being of others, the Good part is pretty obvious. You cry out against the broken system (Chaotic), but also value laws and systems that do good (Lawful). But you always put Good above either of the other two, so Neutral Good.

A federal judge just ruled the White House broke the law by pulling down a public site that tracked Congressional spending. Why’d they yank it? Because people were catching DOGE making fraudulent claims and inflating “savings” that didn’t exist. Transparency isn’t optional.

One thing I LOVE about that movie is that the two sides (Europeans vs Saracens) are each further divided into good and bad. The movie's real villain is on the same team as the hero, and the opponent is considerate and morally upright. The conflict divide is complicated rather than black and white.
