“A citation or ticket is not always the solution to somebody’s problems.”
that’s a good police person
Can you I.M.A.G.I.N.E if one of the powers of the police was the ability to spend X dollars to help out someone who was breaking the law because they couldn’t afford not to.
Cars get fixed. Kids get clothes so they can go to school. Houses get repaired.
Can you imagine what it would be like if cops were trained and empowered to respond to need with compassion. If we cared more about the ‘serve’ in ‘to serve and to protect’. If this wasn’t news because it’s just what cops do.
There’s one (1) think in Disney’s Mulan that irks me. The jaw line. Mulan’s jaw line is drawn differently when she’s acting as Ping. No kidding:
this is her “regular, Fa Mulan” face. In this version her jaw is even highlighted by the makeup. Look how round is it.
and this is her Ping jaw. Square. Totally square.
WHY????? Isn’t consistency in the character base shapes like, an important thing??
Not to mention how she immediately regains her long lashes as soon as she is exposed. With her round jaw obviously.
?????
That feel when you’re Asian and your father with a bad leg was about to be sent off to surely die in a war for your great empire so you squared up both metaphorically and physically.

the Star Wars universe is great because you read enough you eventually find out things like the fact that the Stormtrooper whose armor Luke stole in Episode IV was gay and in an affair with fucking Grand Moff Tarkin, which is a completely canonical fact that I am not making up.
The next time you watch a New Hope, keep in mind Luke is wearing the armor of a man who knew Tarkin sexually. The armor Luke is wearing when he says the iconic line “I’m Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you” has more than likely been on the floor of Tarkin’s bedroom.
since I’m getting naysayers about this again!
The actual officer whom the trooper is in a relationship goes unspecified within the book, and isn’t listed as Tarkin specifically
However.
The officer is described as; wearing a grey suit, continuously bragging about the strength of the Death Star, and having the highest level of clearance aboard the Death Star, which is how he is able to send secret messages to TK-421
At one point the officer says he won’t be interrogating Princess Leia because Darth Vader will be doing it, meaning he’s definitely high enough in the chain of command to know that about Vader
At one point the officer jokes he just gave an “explosive” demonstration. The story takes place right around the time Alderaan is blown up.
According to someone on Reddit, the Audible version of the story uses Tarkin’s voice for the officer in question
