Hikaru Sulu is gay in 'Star Trek Beyond'

hellotailor:

During a promotional event in Australia, John Cho confirmed that beloved Star Trek character Hikaru Sulu is gay.

Sulu was originally played by George Takei, who in later life has become a prominent activist for LGBT rights. In a tribute to his ongoing legacy as an icon of the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek Beyond writer Simon Pegg and director Justin Lin decided make Sulu canonically gay in the upcoming movie.

“I liked [Pegg and Lin’s] approach, which was not to make a big thing out of it, which is where I hope we are going as a species, to not politicize one’s personal orientations,” Cho said.

Anonymous asked: Not gonna lie, REALLY into the one where Vader survives Mustafar and Padme does what needs to be done to save her children ('Kill him for me, then' wow that is SO MUCH MY JAM) and honestly even if you never write another word for that 'verse, thank you so fucking much for that, that is EVERYTHING I am here for.

suzukiblu:

yeah no I was literally already going “wow I hope someone sends me an ask about that AU where Obi-Wan’s life sucks even worse than usual so I have an excuse to talk about Padmé/Vader as a ship, I REALLY DO”, trust me, buddy, you tied your wagon to the right star here, you REALLY did. 

Because Vader went and killed Palpatine for Padmé, right? SPECIFICALLY for her. Like, he OFFERED, originally, but when he actually goes and DOES it, it’s because she tells him to do it and he is immediately like “anything for you, angel!!” and then not only does it, but does it and DECLARES HER EMPRESS. 

You know. The person who all the clones answer to. The person HE answers to. THAT empress. 

There are only ever two Sith, okay, and because there are only ever two Sith there have to ALWAYS be two Sith. Vader killed the apprentice, so he became the apprentice, and then Vader killed the master, so therefore he should be the Master, and should be attempting to pluck Ahsoka off some backwater planet all “I HAVE SO MUCH TO TEACH YOU, APPRENTICE”. 

Except instead he goes back to where he left Padmé and is like “??!? WHERE IS” and then proceeds to chase her down, and the moment she finds out he’s the survivor she puts on a smile and opens her arms to him and reels him RIGHT in. 

Sith apprentices kill Sith masters to BECOME Sith masters, but Anakin did not actually care about being a Sith master–he wanted to be a JEDI master, yeah, but Jedi masters are one of many and still answer to the Order, and it’s a very different thing. And really, what Anakin ACTUALLY wanted was always just Padmé and Luke and Leia (and Obi-Wan, of course Obi-Wan, but–well, three for four is better than canon got him, so yeah). So Vader killed Anakin and got (nearly) everything Anakin wanted, and Vader killed Palpatine and got everything HE wanted, and he is therefore ENTIRELY CONTENT with what he has and would quite happily go along with anyone who’d let him keep it. 

And he killed Palpatine in Padmé’s name. In Empress Amidala’s name. 

So yeah. Vader is definitely not the master in this scenario. 

But Padmé is also definitely not a Sith.
