Seeing The Celebration Announcement For “The Ronin” Has Been Hyped For More Visions Figures Down

Really excited about this new manga that was announced recently!

Knowing that we’re finally getting more stories set in the sequel era is exciting and it will be interesting to see someone so disconnected from the Jedi try and piece together what it means to be a Jedi knight.

Rey had Luke, Leia, and the ancient Jedi texts and she now has the tools to guide the new generation.

Plus connecting the high republic to this era works soooo well thematically. The Jedi of this era were more open to change and operated more freely within the republic and I think that Rey’s new Jedi order could return back to these roots while adding more layers of growth. And that potential “dark sider” behind her could be trying to learn about the sith of the past and trying to emulate that, and taking the wrong lessons from their failures and this leading to his own defeat.

Very excited to pick this story up!

Been rereading Path of Deceit and I forgot how much I love this book. There’s something so thrilling about seeing the force through the eyes of Marda & the Path of the Open Hand. It really is suspenseful and as the story progresses throughout phase 2 the cult really gets more and more terrifying.

A midsummer sequel portrayal of the force in Star Wars really is gratifying.

Plus seeing such open queer representation in Star Wars and the tragedy between Marda/Kevmo & Yana/Kor. I’ll never be over them, living rent free in my head at all times

🚨 A Voice from Gaza: Please Hear Us 🚨

My name is Abdelmajed Elderawi, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where life has become an unimaginable struggle. Our days are filled with uncertainty, and the hope for a better future feels like a distant dream.

The war has left deep scars on my family and me. We’ve endured the heartbreaking loss of 25 loved ones—each one a light extinguished too soon. Their absence is a pain I carry every day, and I often find myself lost in memories of the laughter and joy they brought into our lives.

Life in Gaza Today: 💔 Overwhelming Loss: The pain of losing so many family members is impossible to describe. 🍽️ Barely Getting By: Even basic necessities like food and water are becoming harder to afford. 🏠 No Safe Shelter: Our homes, once our refuge, now feel fragile and unsafe. 📚 Dreams on Hold: The pursuit of education and opportunities has been replaced by the constant fight for survival.

What We Need: In these desperate times, even a small gesture can mean so much. A $5 donation could provide us with food or water for a day. If you can’t donate, simply sharing our story could help us reach someone who can.

Your Support Gives Us Hope: This isn’t just about financial help—it’s about knowing that someone, somewhere, cares. Your kindness can be a source of strength for us, a reminder that we’re not alone in this fight.

How You Can Help: 🙏 Donate if you can. 🙏 Share this post to spread the word. 🙏 Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

I’m not asking for much—just a little hope, a little relief, and a chance to keep moving forward. Your generosity, in any form, can make a difference in ways you might not even imagine.

Hello! I am organizing this fundraiser for Abdelmajed Sule… Mohamad Abdulhai needs your support for Help to save a family shattered by u

Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. Your kindness means more than words can express.

With heartfelt gratitude, Abdelmajed ❤️

Kinda niche but I hope that we get a cool moment for master Xo Lahru by the end of phase 3. He’s 1 of only 4 cannon grandmasters we have so far and I would love to know more about him.

Pra-Tre veter got such a badass end to his character fitting of a grandmaster, having an incredible show of strength in the shadows of starlight comic. We’ve also gotten to know him and his personally quite well in the Yoda comics and shadows of starlight, while also having a historic death that really impacted me while reading it.

That Fight scene in Shadows of starlight will forever live rent free in my head tbh. And the armor he wears is top notch, and I’ll always be a Master Veter defender

I think Pra-Tre really had the “grandmaster aura” and I hope we get the some love for Lahru and Ry Ki-Sakka because they have such cool designs and I don’t want that potential to be wasted

Recently finished S3 of Castelvania and goddamn is it a hit to the gut. The season started out with a more hopeful, cheerful tone and then the last 3 episodes really go for the jugular. I’m very excited to see where these characters end up in season 4.

Trevor & Sypha are more traumatized than ever. Sypha especially, having experienced this level of trauma for the first time *potentially* and Trevor regressing into his old ways of thinking

Alucard is feeling used, alone, and vengeful. Trying to make friends and striving to be like his mom and then getting used while the most vulnerable.

Hector is a slave/pet. The one thing he understood and tried to push humanity into he himself has become.

Issac is the only one to have come out winning this season, being such a great representation of a morally grey poc character. I’m honestly rooting for him tbh

I’ve really been loving Madoka Magia Exedra and I can’t wait for future events. I never got the opportunity to play Magia Record 😭 but this game has been so much fun. I genuinely log in every day to play a level, event, and earn supplies. The Gacha system is admittedly evil but Im thankful with how lucky I’ve been.

I got a free Mami off the daily free Madokami pull!!!

With the rumored Doppel-Iroha on the way *which I’m hyped for* I think this opens the door for a lot of fun characters. Obviously all characters with Doppels could have new kioku but the game could really do something special for Candeloro & Ophelia.

They could release labyrinths for these two witches at the same time they release the Doppel Mami/Kyoko banners. We never got them as bosses for Magia Record so it would be nice to bring them back from the PSP game. Imagine exploring these areas, it would be breathtaking for sure!

On that note, I’m hoping that we get a new labyrinth when they release Mabayu instead of an event but that’s just me.

I’m hoping for a lot of hype when the Rebellion story gets released as well.

ALSO- while im here, i really hope wraith arc gets some love. Getting o fight wraiths for the first time, Bow-Homura Kioku, wraith-Madoka, what more could you want!?

If Ash ever comes back in the anime I hope that he’s 1) Aged up with the time skip and 2) I think he deserves a new team to celebrate.

I would want him to be a mentor figure for Liko, Roy, and Dot. A sort of older brother figure and obstacle for them to overcome. He’s sort of their “Leon” and could fill the role of Juliana/Florian from the games. Due to the show taking place after the events of the game we can say that Ash already traveled through Paldea. If so, here’s the team I would give him.

1) Pikachu- Goes without saying, would love to see him face Cap

2) koraidon- He traveled with him while going around Paldea and is his “boss” legendary. Similar to Liko’s Terapagos and Roy’s “assumed” Rayquaza.

3) Dudunspace (3-segment) Ash has never been able to catch a dunsparce, and what better that to give him the rare 3-segment form to show what the world champion can do. The sleep “rowlet” type Pokemon of the team.

4) Annihilape- I imagine we went back and found his old Primeape, evolving it into a beast of a fighter.

5) Ogerpon- Ash experienced the events of the DLC, having a rivalry with Kieran over Ogerpon choosing to travel with Ash. She’s sweet and offers an adorable factor to the team.

6) Mega Lucario- the only other returning Pokemon, Ash’s lucario can serve as a mentor to Roy’s shiny lucario.

Been rewatching TOTE *inquisitor brainrot setting in hard* and I have some thoughts on Barriss's induction into the inquisitorious and how it relates to the larger group

To be honest, I think that she was always "supposed" to win her duel and join their order and that the entire episode of Devoted was a set-up. Dante and Ahmar were potential candidates sure, but I don’t think the Grand Inquisitor or Palpatine expected them to win

We know that Palpatine actively sought out Jedi that were pushing back against the order as potential candidates for the inquisitorious, even saving them from Order-66 (Iskat)

The Grand Inquisitor was at her trial and commented that she "might not be as powerful as they thought"

She might have been the only Jedi to protest the war in such an open way, and, despite her efforts she definitely tapped into the darkside. Letting it pretty consume herself. I believe this resonated deeply with a certain temple guard who had already been feeling some uneasiness within the order

Now I think that the other 2 also fit into this mold, however they didn't seem has experienced or prepared

It’s interesting to note that the three of them knew each other and Dante had been friends with Barriss.

I’m going to guess that these 2 where young Jedi that had voiced problems with the order and where spared, but didn’t have the strength or notoriety that Barriss had.

The grand Inquisitor himself was the one to train Barriss, the same way he did Iskat while Lyn (a lower ranked inquisitor) was tasked with the less important job of training Dante.

If I had to guess it was a trial by fire, if Barriss won then everything went as planned and if not well then they have a strong new initiate into their order

Barriss proved herself and they already had a uniform at the ready for her once she was finished.

Now- we can assume that they might have had uniforms ready for the other 2 as well, however, I think they had their bets on Barriss since the Clone Wars

It wouldn't surprise me if we found out later down the line that she had spoke to Hezzo as well. Similar to Iskat.

Plus- I like the idea that Marrok was one of the first recruits and that the Eighth brother may not have been expected to survive his initiation

Hence his armor being "rushed" and looking so close to a previous design. They didn’t think he would win and this could be shown in his fighting style. Choosing to flee over stand his ground

The Empires mistake was thinking that Barriss was like them

That she fell to the darkside due to her hate/anger. Barriss made mistakes and tapped into the darkside but it was out of protest for the war and the trauma she faced. She was left in a cell to reflect and grieve.

The moment it came to actually fighting a fellow Jedi, she faltered

I honestly just love the inquisitors and I hope that we get more material following how they where as Jedi and the interactions between them

The day I get to see Iskat & Tualon in animation/live-action I'm going feral lol

Just finished season 4 of Castlevania and I have some thoughts

Overall, the ending was solid and I’m happy to see that Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard could live together and build a better future together. That part was sweet and definitely served as the best part of the entire season for me

I really wish Carmilla had a better ending, she fought a horde of night creatures and Issac and nobody could take her down individually. They had built up her plan for so long and to see it come crashing down like that was a disappointment

It felt like the carmilla’s takeover and Dracula resurrection storylines where competing for screen time and should have had a few more episodes to breath.

I love what they did with Issac this season and seeing him grow to understand humanity and want to build a better future was nice. Seeing Death was nice I just wished they’d built it up a bit more.

Overall it was a good season that kind of meandered a bit. The animation was gorgeous as always and the ending was beautiful. Looking forward to Nocturne

Look at how incredible this is! I cannot wait to get this in person and actually read it. I know that the audio book is also going to go so hard *just like they all do*

Plus it’s going to be 500+ pages…..we are so not ready for what this book is about to bring. With everything, I know it’s gonna be a rollercoaster from start to finish.

I’ve been keeping up with the High Republic since it was first announced and seeing these characters grow and change has been such an emotional/fulfilling journey. It’s gunna be hard to say goodbye to these characters for awhile. I’m gunna miss em so much. Avar, Elzar, Stellan, Vernestra, Marchion, Bell, Keevee, Xylan Graff, Marda, Kevmo, Loden, Imri, and Gavi all of you will have my heart forever 🫶🏽🫶🏽😭
