Found A Sketch I Made A While Ago, So I Wanted To Finish It. Wish I Could Remember What The Point Of

GUYS WHAT IF I SAID ODY AND TELEMACHUS??? WHAT IF I SAID THAT???

SPECIFICALLY AFTER THEY KILL THE SUITORS TOGETHER

In the Odyssey Telemachus is constantly told he is just like his father, people can tell he is Odysseus son just by looking at him. he is compared to his father.

He is just like his father, it is both his greatest strength and his biggest weakness. He is just like his father and maybe that is worse.

I can't unsee this

If ur in the epic discord you've seen this dumb thing already but here it is again

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

Okay crowd we really need to talk about the fact that Batch really never even thought about saving Crosshair in the first seasons when they found out it was the kriffing chip the whole time. They never tried to come for him even if it meant to take him by force and put themselves in danger, which they would (and did) do for Omega as many times as needed. Smells like someone has a least favourite brother.

emotional neglect didnt even affect me that much. it was the being born inherently without value that did most of the work

"The Light Side being good and the Dark Side being evil has no nuance!"

Why though? Neither side is inherent, they're choices. Does a difficult choice between good and evil not sound nuanced to you? Does the choice between a painful path and the complete erasure of who you are no sound fucking nuanced to you?

The Dark and Light Sides are a binary choice between good and evil, and… that's great! The morals are simple, but the nuance is not in the basic and very simple morality (murder bad), it's in the circumstances that make adhering to your morals difficult.

Is Anakin Skywalker wanting to do good but not being able to because that would mean not having what he wants not nuanced to you?

Is Asajj Ventress —an assassin, a Sith Acolyte, a bounty hunter— letting a girl go because she doesn't want her to lose her family like Ventress did, even though that would cost her a lot of money she needs to survive not nuanced to you?

Is Dooku wanting to fix the corruption of the Republic and ending up being worse because he believes he knows best not nuanced to you?

Is Darth Vader choosing right for once in his life and becoming who his son needs him to be not nuanced to you?

Is Cal, Kanan, Obi-Wan and all other Order 66 survivors remaining good and kind when everything's against them not nuanced to you?

Is Luke seeing the good still left in Space Hitler and forgiving and loving his father the Sith Apprentice despite everything he's done not nuanced to you?

Is Finn choosing mercy and defiance of the First Order despite being kidnaped, indoctrinated and brainwashed by them not nuanced to you?

Is Rey being good and choosing not to let her bloodline define her not nuanced to you?

Is Ben Solo choosing evil despite everyone around him being good not nuanced to you?

Is Han Solo, a selfish man, choosing to go into a killzone to save his friends not nuanced to you?

Is Mace Windu commiting high treason to save the Republic regardless of what happens to him not nuanced to you?

Is Ezra Bridger being selfish and thinking of himself but choosing to be selfless when he realizes how much that means not nuanced to you?

If we go to Legends:

Is Jacen Solo becoming a monster because he wants to spare his daughter from a horrible fate not nuanced to you?

Is Jaina Solo killing her brother to save the galaxy not nuanced to you?

Is Cade Skywalker seeing the Force as a tool and being dragged into evil more and more not nuanced to you?

What does nuance mean to you anyways? Do you even know what that means or are you just trying to be edgy?

see, the problem with liking star wars, and specifically obi-wan is that a lot of people also like him but they like him wrong. like girl, idgaf about obi-wan leaving the order! he wouldn't do that! like, the appeal of obi-wan's character to me is the fact that he's like The Jedi ever. and so many people wanna take that away from him

also! as an aroallo person, i love like, whatever the jedi have going on with their code and i see many a fic where writers just like, disregard it?? and i love codywan as much as the next guy, I just need to see them have the worlds worst situationship ever bc neither of them want to break their codes but also whatever they got going on is so so good and also its a war so who is gonna stop them and also their relationship is going to go down in flames and hurt the both of them so much

anyways, thanks for reading my mini rant

The Mandalorian trickster/luck deity, Hod Ha'ran!
