Everyone always dogs on Luke being so mopey after Obi-Wan dies (which is understandable to a degree, I mean, Leia lost all her family and friends, her entire life) but consider that Luke barely even had time to wrap his head around his adoptive parents being brutally killed, now another surrogate family member takes him on a whirlwind adventure that’ll change his life direction forever and HE is gone, too. You’d feel pretty aimless in the moment. It’s all compounded.
Autistic Barbie 💜
A few months ago I made a post on dolls with disabilities that many of you seemed to like, there were two dolls with autism mentioned (Twyla and Hayden) but now Barbie has just released a new autistic Barbie in partnership with ASAN!
ASAN also made it a point to have the doll be a woman of colour as these two groups typically tend to go underdiagnosed.
Typically Barbie Fashionistas who represent a certain disability will have a fashion with a motif relating to their disability (diabetes Barbie (#242) has blue circles on her outfit and the Down’s Syndrome Barbies (#208 and #229) who have a blue and yellow palette, butterflies, and chevrons on their outfits). I have seen some people and organizations say that purple is a colour that can represent autism but there are several colours and symbols people die to represent autism, and with there being no confirmation from Barbie nor ASAN saying the dress colour has significance I decided not to mention it.
Sean Astin met an emotional support llama at Fan Expo Portland! Note how he bows respectfully before petting the animal.
I just learned the llama’s name is Caesar the No Drama Llama!
