Here are some samurai inspired designs I did based off TFA. :)
1. Samurai Kylo Ren
2. Feudal Rey
3. Ronin Finn
4. Commander Poe (Revision)
5.Samurai Taichou Phasma
6. Ashigaru Nines
*This was a bit tricky, but I just decided to have fun with it. I ended up fusing the Jutte, Tonfa and Katana into one weapon to make it more menacing.
7.Akita BB-8
-Nik.
The complete set!
It literally just gets better and better.
Thanks you!
This is interesting because Star Wars draws so heavily from feudal era Japan to begin with. To see someone take it the whole nine yards is cool!
Those kind words were immensely appreciated. Thank you!
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death
Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌
yesyesyesyes
7. I still don’t know how to season chicken
8. telling POC good white jokes will make them laugh even harder if you’re white and the obvious subject of the joke, like I work at a coffee shop and I was chatting with a customer about fall arriving and it being my favorite season and when the customer left I turned around and said to my POC co-worker “did you know if you say ‘pumpkin spice latte’ three times in the mirror, a white girl appears and tells you all her favorite things about fall” and she’s STILL laughing about it
it’s also because Leonard COHEN (!) was Jewish and this is a quintessentially Jewish line, and changing it to that level of Annoying Certainty is stripping it of its Jewish meaning and imbuing it with that particularly American smug evangelical Christian attitude that makes me tired, so very tired
THAT IS EXACTLY WHY
I don’t think I’ve heard any cover artist sing my favorite verses
You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
um woah
I will always hit the reblog button so hard for Hallelujah but ESPECIALLY mentions of the elusive final verses which are just about my favorite lyrics ever. Why do people always omit the best part of the song??
In Yiddish
In Hebrew
In Ladino
It got better
Also people keep putting it on Christmas albums? Like not only is it a Jewish song, holiday albums are pure cheese. Hallelujah is about losing faith. It’s like putting Losing My Religion on a Christmas album because it has the word Religion in the title.
I…had no idea this was a traditional Jewish song. That makes me all the more confused on why it was used in Shrek 1 the way it was.
