Whoops, radio silence

anghraine I've been on Tumblr (still hideously addictive, despite working even less well than usual), but not doing much ... productive isn't really the word I want to use for "how I spend my free time on the Internet," so, um--not doing much substantive. Finals and then Christmas!
(I had to fail several students :\)
ANYWAY. STAR WARS!!!!!!!
I'm going to watch it properly in the IMAX with my best friend on Tuesday, but guys, I'm thrilled.
In an "already developing pet peeves" way, of course. But still!!!! excited!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to have to watch it, like, five times. a;dfkljk;fngmf
And honestly, the #1 thing I'm aggravated about is "but shouldn't we get away from the Skywalkers?" Uhh, the Anthology films are that-away, y'all. The beating heart of the main films is family, specifically the Skywalkers' families (natural or discovered! or both! but it's the Skywalker show). They always have been, always will be. The faster you come to terms with that, the happier you'll be.
(Cue my periodic bewildered realization that people watch SW for something other than Skywalker shenanigans! But I'm that person who fast-forwards past the space battle above Endor as well as the Ewoks to get back to Luke and Anakin.)
The #2 thing is how incredibly awful fandom is already being over Rey/Kylo Ren. And I really like Rey/Finn, but... God, it's everything hero/villain shippers like, of course they're into it. It's not new, or shocking, or reason to hate perfectly nice people whose tastes aren't as ~pure~ as yours, jfc.
On the upside, we can all agree about one thing: Rey! REY REY REY REY. REYYYYYYYYY.
(Today's Tumblr tag adjustment: #rey -> #rey la reina.)
