i’m not overly protective of star wars but when people say to watch the prequels first for story purposes I cringe because no no no you gotta watch it 4 5 6 1 2 3 okay
THANK YOU
actually
and I recognise this may be controversial
you gotta watch it 4 5 1 2 3 6
yeah read that again
I am saying you gotta watch the prequels after Empire
here’s why:
you get the backstory on Vader immediately after the ‘I am your father’ reveal
you get to drag out the suspense of Han being frozen in carbonite
you don’t immediately ruin the impact of Vader as a villain by starting out with what an awful whiner Anakin was
you also don’t leave Return on the Jedi on a confusing note of ‘wait who the hell is that other ghost’ if you watch the original trilogy in its entirety before hitting the prequels
you aren’t left feeling shitty by ending your marathon on Revenge of the Sith and instead get to close out with the potentially insipid but undoubtedly joyous celebration at the end of the Battle of Endor
basically if you’re going to include the prequels at all you need to incorporate them as a mid-story flashback
okay that’s all
i watched star wars for the first time in the 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6 order and let me tell you, imho, that is the absolute best way to get the story out of th emovies.
it makes return of the jedi that much more poignant and good and like spook says, doesn’t leave on your final marathon note being revenge of the goddamn sith
u know what makes me lowkey sad? when someone says ‘i know it seems silly’ before talking about something they clearly care very deeply about bc u know that means someone gave them shit for caring that much about that thing before which is Fucked Up.
Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.
The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?
You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.
You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.
You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.
You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
:)
It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light ;)
I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.
I see 35-39 colours, and I hate the colour yellow. That was actually what made me curious enough to stop scrolling and count. Who knew there was a scientific reason behind my colour preferences?
So the idea here is that what I see as annoyingly, garishly bright, most people don’t see as clearly, and that’s why it’s “cheerful?” (I’ve never understood that description of yellow.)
I barely saw 18 or 19. Dang :/
I got 36, but I don’t hate yellow lol
I am a bee.
35 but I love yellow soo
Oh dang I don’t see red very well I think
I can see 37, and actually do find most shades of yellow to be a little annoying
I can see 39, had to tilt my head around once or twice to find them all though.
34 and yellow is fuckig awesome fuck all of you talkin shit abt yellow
39, yellow is my favorite color don’t MESS with me
This is interesting. I’m not a fan of yellow, it’s just not my color. I only really get mad at it when a bad design used the wrong saturation against white.
You cannot see bright yellow on white from far away! Boarder that shit or make it darker!
I can see 39 o.o but I actually like yellow. I just don’t wear it much because I’m blonde and it just makes me look like a big light bulb.
I can see 34 and I didn’t realize until now how much I hate wearing yellow lol
I see 39 exactly but some of them are a bit hard to see
You know who else is underrated? Owl City. This introverted guy who wrote a bunch of songs on his computer in his parents basement. With lyrics like “reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn’t wanna live there” and “please take a long hard look through your textbook, cause I’m history” and he tweets stuff like “got groceries. Enough social interaction for the week” and “girl I ain’t no astronaut, but I need a little space” and I love owl city
adam young is on the autism spectrum and this needs to stop being ignored in favor of him being just this cutesy introverted guy when we have basically 0 representation or anyone like us in any sort of media and the fact that an autistic person can make it big and get as well known/liked as he did is really important and allistic ppl (regardless of whether or not theyre fans) rly gotta stop overlooking this
