I let out a very soft gasp

#‘its experiences’ did you mean: #poe dameron awake at 4AM singing BB-8 songs he makes up as he goes #poe dameron running back into a firefight to save a disabled BB-8 from certain destruction (sustaining a shoulder wound) #poe dameron speaking in binary even though BB-8 tells him he sounds absurdly stupid #poe dameron sewing a little hole into all his tents so that BB-8 can charge next to him while he sleeps even when they’re on recon missions #poe dameron referring to BB-8 as ‘my friend’ and making sure his programming equips him to fully understand what that means #poe dameron always asking BB-8 to do what he needs instead of ordering it #poe dameron rewriting the astromech default programming that would force BB-8 to call him master #poe dameron rebuilding BB-8 by hand himself whenever BB-8 gets damaged #and keeping his hard drive and his audio sensors live so he can reassure BB-8 as he goes that it’s all going fine #IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT BY ‘EXPERIENCES’ #DID YOU MEAN ‘POE DAMERON’ #because that’s what BB-8 would mean #‘strong loyalty subprogram’ is one way to put it #‘loves poe dameron right back’ is another (via @gyzym )

HOW VERY DARE

It strikes me, thinking about this, that self-preservation protocols strong enough to make a droid “skittish and easily frightened” are not exactly the most sensible things to program if the droid is being used in large part to help fly a rebel fighter plane.  Surely, when selecting a droid for this purpose, you’d want one a bit more unflappable, a bit more willing to face danger.  Which leads me to believe that there are only two really reasonable conclusions.  Either:

  • a) Poe loved and believed in this round little droid so much that he ignored all of the above, secure in his faith that BB-8 would rise to the occasion; or
  • b) he was the one who added those self-preservation protocols to a standard model, because he didn’t want BB-8 getting hurt if he wasn’t around.

This actually reads as if BB-8 has developed humanoid feelings. I.E., a human will avoid doing dangerous things as a matter of self-preservation, but if someone they love is in danger or needs assistance a human will try to help their loved one by any means necessary, in spite of the fear. 

So basically BB-8 is hardwired to protect itself but will willingly put itself in danger for Poe because he loves him. 

I love this.

not that i’d actually wanna live in a different time period, thanks very much, but also lately im vibing the idea of being born hundreds years ago when an army trudges through my city and kills all my loved ones and i must assume a male disguise in order to seek revenge in this male-dominated society so i cut my hair short and slick it back and join the army and learn how to use a big heavy broadsword and i soon have a reputation as a great swordsman which is only overpowered by my reputation as a great lover despite the fact i never take all my clothes off but i still manage to get all the women and the other guys in my regiment can’t figure out how i’m so good with them but i just gotta shrug and play up the ladies man thing until one day i meet a princess of the blood and im charged with protecting her on a journey out of the capital but we get separated from the rest of the regiment and i start developing feelings for her because she’s spunky but i know It Can Never Be for a number of reasons and then one night she catches me bathing in the moonlight and i instinctively draw my sword because No One Can Know My Womanly Secret but also she’s the princess and also also now i’m in love with her so i simply hand the sword over but she throws it aside with a clatter and throws herself at me and we make love by the lakeside and the next day i put on my soldiers gear and we keep moving wondering what the future will hold when the enemy horde comes upon us and i defend her but am outnumbered when suddenly our separated guards catch up and we fight the invaders and i kill the man who slaughtered my family because he is conveniently part of this regiment and we’re all happy for our victory but i still look sadly at the princess because It Can Still Never Be and i must take her to the capital to meet her betrothed and we kiss and make love sadly in a tent one last time but then we finally reach the city it turns out her fiance is a huge Gay too and has a huge entourage of gays following him around and brushing lint out of his fur coats and he hires me to be the queen’s bodyguard wink wink nudge nudge and i meet her nightly using a secret passageway under the castle and also i get a really cool new sword and history doesnt remember me as anything more than a friend to the queen until centuries later when a bunch of love letters are found in a secret compartment under the castle by a lesbian librarian who was researching the local history and she falls in love with the lady castle tour guide as they bond over an interest in our love story the end

I give zero fucks what you thought of the film as a whole, but if you don’t think the moment in The Last Jedi when Holdo jumps to light speed and slices through the First Order ship in complete silence is one of the best movie moments of 2017 (second only behind No Man’s Land in Wonder Woman, imo) then we can’t be friends.

1) how is this only 35 seconds just over minute long?
2) how many more hockey innuendos could they possibly come up with?
3) i love this show more than anything

Thanks to all who alerted me to the fact that YES. All my dreams came true, it is from Letterkenny (and the guys in the chairs ARE THE HOCKEY PLAYERS from the produce stand in the opening bit episode 1 =D Nice.)
