I Love This!!!

So it's just Callum, Rayla and Zym now?

For some reason the image that comes directly to my mind is Callum and Rayla in bodyguard outfits with cool sunglasses and Zym very swaggy in the middle.

They walk through town, the people make a path for them and then:

Callum trips.

Yes, me, hello.

Anyone else see Spectre and the only thing you can think of is that Q is the third Holmes and that Moriarty fucking hacked his way into MI territory while Mycroft wasn’t looking, and then pulled a Reichenbach to get out of it when he was caught? Anyone else? 

The statements "burying your gays is defined as when a gay character is specifically killed off for the sake of being killed off and given much less prominence than any cishet character deaths, Cinta’s death was afforded just as much weight as Brasso’s (and we know that the point is most of the main cast aren’t going to survive)” and "it was still really fuckin upsetting as an audience to watch Cinta just die after finally getting an onscreen kiss" can and should coexist

I posted this on discord a while ago and thought I could just put it here too, enjoy!

Thank you guys for 100 followers here is me and miku drink

I don’t know if you just implied that anakin murdered people without knowing or that it was qui gon... but I love it. So just that I understand that right (because English is not my first language and I tend to miss stuff), rn there is a war on mandalore with Jango, the haat madoade and the clones on one side and death watch with droid reinforcements and maybe unstable maul on the other side. Meanwhile Palps is laughing maniacally in the background, Dooku is trying to figure things out and help his grandpadawan the best he can and Obi-wan is denounced from the order, not very liked in the public eye but supported by the Mandalorians right? So would Obi go to Mandalore to help his fave murder boi or go back to the temple because something is going wrong in the senate rn and he needs to sort out the slander problem? And would Jango just in true Mando fashion adopt all the clones and have them be taught (and teach them himself) in Mando tradition (and maybe how to fight against force users because he can’t stop thinking about Maul threatening his family)?

@1elysium​ the dha kar’ta post was super heckin long, so i thought i’d answer you over here!

i can’t speak for fiori, but i’m so glad you’re enjoying it!! this au already means a lot to me, and the support for it so quickly has been amazing, both on here and ao3. I’m thinking between two and three years between Illum and Jango meeting them! i need time for Obi to build a relationship with Dooku and Anakin, and Dha lol. 

i haven’t given much thought to Obi taking a padawan, because i haven’t solidified my wants for the clones just yet. you’re right, they started them right about the time of the invasion of Naboo, but since Dooku was the one to orchestrate getting Jango involved, i don’t see that happening in this ‘verse. which breaks my feckin heart cause i LOVE the clones and Boba and i definitely implied in the force visions that Boba was a possibility, but i can’t figure out how to make it work 😭if Obi were to take a padawan, ahsoka is definitely a possibility, but savage has also crossed my mind. but yes he would absolutely raise them as Mando’ade Jedi. 

as for Dooku being involved with Palps, i’ve actually been thinking about that! i think he’s suspicious yes, but that’s the thing about a sith lord, he can warp people’s perceptions of him and his actions, and he has a lot of power that the council is beholden to, and Dooku IS a little busy trying to keep his other dumbass grandson alive. so while he’s still with the order, he’s off planet a LOT even before Jango searches them out.

now, that being said, Anakin is an eldritch force vessel in this, which he was not in the canon timeline. the force is semi-sentient and endless and exists on multiple layers of spice-time and is basically fucking canon in an attempt to keep Obi-Wan alive. which means it can’t allow Anakin to fall. which means Palps has less icky fingers in Anakin’s brain and while Anakin might not be totally aware of his status as a vessel, he knows to trust the force because on Tatooine, that’s all he had. i’ll save my other thoughts for the actual fic, but while Palps does manipulate Anakin to an extent, he doesn’t have nearly as strong a foothold.

and @theclonewarsbrokeme​ because this story is your baby too

I have nothing to say to this I just thinks it's awesome :D

Two-And-A-Half Tricksters

Above: Aaravos and the Mirror, Lujanne and the Moon Nexus, and the Crow Master and his strange bird-like shadow

Season 2 of The Dragon Prince is a delightful indulgence in Trickster symbolism and themes, neatly threaded around Aaravos, Lujanne, and the Crow Master. While I expected Aaravos to be a Promethean Trickster ahead of Season 2—see my previous posts—my expectations were vastly exceeded. This post is about how these symbols and themes aid in teasing out details about Aaravos which both inform my interpretation of him as a Promethean Trickster, and present possible answers to the questions surrounding him.

Maul is the embodiment of Gen Z

Okay but hear me out: What I mean in particular is that Maul in episodes 10 and 11 of S7 is the embodiment of gen z.

- has been telling people about the impending disaster that will tear apart the world and is trying to warn them

- trying to overthrow the government

- ready to throw hands at any given opportunity (or pick them up if we remember that one scene)

- sass

- clearly not straight

- this:

(Gifs belong to @mlmanakin I think, correct me if I’m wrong please)

And of course:

- dramatic as fuck

Feel free to add to this xD

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

Please tell me when you're done I want to read something like this so badly

A Nonbinary Protagonist

I’ve wanted to write a fantasy novel/series/trilogy for a while now where the protagonist is nonbinary. I’m nonbinary and am yet to find any fiction with nonbinary characters. So, hey, why not create my own story.

I’m still in that stage of working out the story. I think it will be a steampunk/fantasy. So basically magic vs technology. 

There are a few issues that are important to me that I will work into the story, gender being one of them, along with patriarchy, the environment, and a few others. It seems to be that many of these issues are intertwined.

I don’t have a name for my protagonist yet. I don’t have a title for the novel yet. But hopefully as I keep free writing those things will become known.

p.s. If you want to read a really good book on creativity, “Blessed are the Weird” by Jacob Nordby is excellent.
