why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like… 

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth) 

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

Earth is effing amazing!

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it) 

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

as fantastic as these places are, I’m happy that movies haven’t been made there because fucking imagine the wholesale destruction filming a blockbuster could cause.

you looking for a tilly buddy

You want a donnybrook?

kasaron:

I’m starting to think that there should be a clause within law that any holder of public office should be penalized in a much more severe manner for any breach of the law.

I’m talking “death penalty as a minimum sentence for corruption” levels of “not fucking around.”

Really make it clear that you do not misbehave if you are an elected official.

The issue is, we already see how the IRS was abused by the POTUS to hurt enemies of the establishment, there’s a real risk of it just becoming an excuse to purge the government of opposition.

Still doesn’t stop me from mulling it over.

Alright so I’m home and I’m gonna talk to you about bread.

So there’s this brand of bread here, Ideal, brand looks like this:

But way back in the day, the brand had another name:

If you notice, the mascot still has the “B” in the modern brand emblazoned on its hat. Thing is, I, and likely the executive that decided on the name, had no idea that Bimbo meant something in English. So, life is good, Dreamer is young, and I love my Bimbo Bread. Then, my step brothers from the U.S. move in into our home, and being from the U.S., they speak English. At that point, I, too, already spoke English, but I wasn’t truly versed in commonplace parlance and slang, so the next day, we’re having breakfast, and I ask my mom to make me some toast with Bimbo, and they kinda look at me, wide eyed, and start snickering. ??? Alright whatever.

Then she produces the bag of bread with the word BIMBO in big red letters and they just lose their shit. At this point, I had to know, so I ask them, yo, what’s up, what’s the japes, what’s the bucket of tomfoolery dig up from the cajolery well? What are you having a peacock about this fine morning? So the older one says “you are eating BITCH BREAD, bimbo is slang is bitch,” and I, being both young (I was 13? 14?) and latinoamerican and thus extra susceptible to Bad Words In Foreign Languages, also lose it. So from there we start shitting around that we are eating toasted bitches, which is the cusp of comedy for 14 year olds. Then I tell them what their slogan is: “Siempre Rico, Siempre Fresco” (”Always Tasty, Always Fresh”), and that’s when it got out of control and they start saying they want to eat more Fresh Vagina Sandwiches, and that’s why, among the three of us, sandwiches made with a specific brand of bread were known as Fresh Vagina Sandwiches, and there was nothing my non-English-speaking mother could do about it because she never cracked the Enigma code until years later when we told her what we were really laughing at so hard during breakfast sometimes.

I can’t begin to tell you how their eyes widened when they saw my mom pull out this bag with “BIMBO” in big red letters.
