but the best is when they make you ship a couple, but then tantalize you with romantic breadcrumbs! I don't mind if my OTPs don't hook up, as long as they have significant eye contact and tons of subtext. I love it when they Jim-and-Pam that shit. Well, early Jim and Pam, obviously ;D

I have so many OTPs. So many that the phrase "OTP" doesn't really make sense anymore.

Merkins

yeah, at least honesty can lead to a discourse that changes the status quo. And is refreshing.

I dunno, I felt a random surge of love for Bobby Jindal when "These Days" started playing. Like he was my hot foster sister stepping off a bus or something.

I have so many other resolutions I'm failing miserably at. Let's add another one to the pile!

it might be my fave Bowie album, although the ranking gets shuffled based on my mood. Scream like a Baby is just… so good.

How about Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)? I feel like that's more accessible.
Also, The Man Who Sold the World is super catchy…

I haven't seen the originals in years, but I vaguely recall Luke being not much of a Jedi in the first movie— getting hit with the force practice balls, for instance, which was funny.

I thought John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, AND Adam Driver were all sexy in this movie. This movie was a field day of hot dudes.

I thought he was kinda sexy.

you know, I was really relieved that Kylo Ren wasn't a cool badass guy. Even though I agree it was kind of deflating to have the big bad be Han's angsty son, in a big way I prefer that, because I prefer character stuff to badass battles, any day.

jacob… chill

he was her only hope!

how Ewok get pragnent?

ha! You have a good point. I definitely bought her being able to fight because of her bo staff abilities, and her cleverness was definitely set up. Maybe it was because she was soo good at the Force, so immediately, that something in the back of my mind whispered "Mary Sue". Or maybe it's my own internalized sexism. I…

Yeah, I thought she was a bit of a Mary Sue as well. I think male writers are often so afraid of making their female characters unappealing that they forget to give them flaws. She didn't seem to have as much of an inner life as Finn and Kylo Ren, and was so naturally good at everything, it made her somewhat…
