Tropes serve the function of signaling story elements to the audience and of providing shortcuts to understanding said story. While badly-written tropes can come off as “cliche,” the most common fiction tropes are so popular, and are relied on so heavily, because they have a fundamental logic to them that the creators know most or much of the target audience will grasp instinctively. However,…
Hey, all! I thought I’d share how I use OneNote, for any students who might want to use it for school organization. I have used this since the beginning of my university career and have found a method that works for me, after nearly three years.
I provide templates for what I use as .one files that can be imported into OneNote, and you’re free to use & modify them however you wish.
As a student with learning disabilities, I found that using a computer, rather than writing everything out, is the best method for me to learn. I type up notes in class so as to not worry about keeping up with a professor, handwriting, or neatness. OneNote is my favourite note-taking application for this, because it’s essentially an upgraded version of Word that’s free and syncs automatically across devices. When my computer crashed, I was still able to access my notes online.
OneNote isn’t all typing. You can use it on a tablet or use a drawing tablet, in my case, to handwrite notes for a more natural feel. A very efficient way of taking notes is to import the lectures slides in OneNote and to write directly on them. I found that very useful in math-heavy courses, such as statistics and chemistry. The equation tool, while nifty, isn’t efficient.
By no means whatsoever is this the only way to use OneNote! In fact, I’d recommend you find a way that works for you, because while this may be highly organized, it takes a bit of set-up time and is tailored specifically to my needs. You can use my example as inspiration, but play around with it! The beauty of OneNote is that it can be used in a variety of different ways.
oh my god do you have a link to that at all? bc that is literally completely made up 100%
Someone send me who said this shit. First of Rey pulled Finn in to the hug Second Finn was socked at first at first then start hugging her back. I’m pretty sure they would have hugged as long as they can but Han told them “ leave now , hug later ”
Yeah Rey is totally trying to pull away here.
So much she practically leaps onto Finn and throws her arms around him. She’s clearly uncomfortable here and trying to pull away.
Warning: This post may contain high amounts of sarcasm.
I guess they’ll make up anything to push their narrative that Finn is an aggressive creep who’s besmirching Rey’s pure white womanhood, I guess.
Morality, Trust, and the Force–toward a new model of Force instruction
What went so fatally wrong with the Jedi Order?
It’s a recurring and fundamental question. Through the prequel, original, and now sequel trilogies we’ve watched the Jedi Order fall, rise, and then fall again. Unless they can end this cycle the end of Episode IX won’t be an end, but rather a prelude to a new tragedy.
I believe the old Jedi Order’s reliance on inborn Force power became warped into blood worship in Luke’s new Jedi Order, and Kylo Ren was a product of this repugnant and ahistorical belief. To overcome the mistakes of the old and new Orders, a new model of Force instruction must arise: One that does not rely on inborn talent and certainly not on the nonsensical idea that a lineage confers a special destiny or rights. Rather the new model must recognize and nurture the Force powers inherent in everyone, and instruction itself should be a horizontal process where the students teach each other.
Below I will lay out these ideas in more detail. First I will explain the progression from the old Jedi Order to the new one, and how discontinuity in history led to Luke’s mistakes and Kylo Ren. Then I will lay out the new model that I believe must take the Jedi’s place in order to prevent new Kylo Rens from arising, or at least minimize their damage, while also avoiding the mistakes of the old Jedi Order.
@lj-writes Thanks for the shout out and I agree with this how more than likely how a new Order would go, mostly because beyond your theory making complete sense, something like this had happened in the Star Wars Universe already.
It’s like poetry, it Rhymes.
In the Game Kotor 2, after the happy ending of Kotor 1, the Jedi and Sith are all but gone, and by then end of the game, the Jedi and Sith are pretty much dead. All that is left is a Jedi Exile and the companions they trained in the force who would go on to start a New Jedi Order. These companions were nothing like the original older. They were adults, had formed attachments in their life, and had entire careers outside of the Jedi and force.
And if you’re looking for a further parallel between your theory and Kotor, you could compare the relationship of Finn and Rey to the Male Exile and Brianna, or even the Female Exile with Atton.
That’s awesome! The inborn special powers aspect is one of my least favorite parts of the franchise, I’d love for Episode IX to do away with that and it’s good to know there’s precedent for this model.
And by canon, I meant it’s literally The only ship the sequel movies have shown they care about.
All of TFA is pretty much them falling for the other, and TLJ is them working back to each other.
Reylow is like the definition here of a kink fetish. All Kylo has tried to do in the last two movies is try to murder Rey. People wanna ship it, that’s they’re concern, but don’t expect not to have people talk shit about it.
Finnrose is Johnson being lazy. At best you can call it a one sided kiss out of the Canada. The two had no romantic scenes, Rose is berating Finn and assaulting him for a good portion of the movie, and then randomly kisses him, a kiss he does not return and looks at her like she’s crazy, and then he goes on to embrace Rey…I actually do love Rose, but her writing was as bad as Holdo’s in TLJ.
Damerey and Finnpoe, for either of these things to happen, JJ has to pretend he didn’t mean of Finn and Rey scenes to be romantic and would rather ignore their relationship. Damerey is weird because of the age gap, and John personally has said how he preferred Finn with Rey. I know it’s not what some people want to hear, but for once how about people care about what a black person has to say.
Yeah, as someone who loved the idea of Finnrose pre-TLJ and can’t stand it anymore–it’s a terrible ship and I dearly hope it won’t be canon. Rose treated Finn like crap and seemed to see him as a fixer upper, while Finn only showed clear feelings for Rey and none for Rose. He didn’t even react to her kiss, do you have any concept of how hard that must be when someone as cute as Loan Tran is kissing you? I’ll always feel wistful about what could have been, but as things stand neither character deserves that relationship.
Well both TFA and TLJ had lots of cameos in them from famous people or big name actors. Thomas Brodie-Sangster from GOT, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s voice was heard in Maz’s castle, Ken Leung, who was also a big character on Lost appeared as a cameo, Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian from The Raid appeared, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in Canto Bright, Tom Hardy and Danial Craig were Stormtroopers, Mark Hamil’s family, Kate Dickie from GOT,
Justin Theroux from the Leftovers, a show JJ produced, was the Master Codebreaking, Gareth Edwards, the director of Rogue One appeared, and Carrie Fisher’s own dog Gary appeared in the movie. So really all these people going crazy about the casting should just calm down. It’s nothing new lol It’s like people haven’t been paying attention to the last 4 years of Star Wars cameos.
And I think it would be interesting for there to be a Stormtrooper Rebellion in Ix. @lj-writes and Iwere discussing awhile back about a heroic version of Order 66 where the Stormtroopers turn against the First Order and redeem themselves from being the villains of the Star Wars universe, even though they have always just been victims of circumstances since they never had in power or say in what they did and were either slaves in the prequels, soldiers forced to serve their government in the originals, and stolen children and poor children reucirted for war in the squeals. Of course not every Trooper is good, and some are evil or won’t change, but the image of Stormtroopers marking themselves with three red streaks on their helmet to symbolize their rebellion and loyalty to Finn would be a great callback to TFA, when the first Stormtrooper Rebelled.
