Andor S2E6 Spoilers

So am I the only one wanting to cry and grin the whole way through the new clone wars episodes? Like Obi Wan appears and I want to squeal but at the same time I wanna cry because for fucks sake that man is so sad and has gone through so much why do you have to do this to him?

And Anakin seems so happy and enthusiastic and he smiles at obi wan and I have too many feelings about this.

Also very hyped for Maul because he is an amazing character. It’s gonna be epic. (And sad)

And then there is Ahsoka... and I’m crying even more. Someone help

I don't thing he has to be evil but I do think he is going to be the villian of the story. Maybe All the other elves saw humanity as beneath them and he thought it was wrong. Maybe he tried to help but instead of teaching them primal magic they learned dark magic and he was banned for helping. Now he wants revenge? I don't know maybe it's just the point that I always try and see the good in people. (Not necessarily a good trait)

Aaravos’ Backstory: TDP Foreshadowing

So guys, I am a big nerd who loves foreshadowing in fantasy. While watching Season 2 of TDP, I took screenshots of the books Viren found in the library when he was trying to look up Aaravos, just in case they were decipherable…

And this book looks like it was written in a Germanic language!

So I typed the words into Google Translate, and they’re in Danish!

(TDP fans who actually speak Danish, please forgive me for this terrible google translate job. And fix my mistakes if you want, because I’m not sure I spelled anything correctly. XD)

From the top of the first screenshot:

From the second screenshot (same page; this screenshot was easier to read):

Conclusions:

Aaravos is super powerful

In the past, he helped one group of people fight another. From the way this is written, he probably helped the humans fight the elves.

The author says they have never heard a name like Aaravos before (they’re not an elf) and that others call their people “inferior.” Sometimes humans are perceived this way in the show because they can’t do magic. Aaravos encouraged the author’s people to take control of their destiny.

He also gave them “awards.” I looked up “foraæringerne” and I think “gifts” is a better translation. He gave humans magic? Weapons? Magical weapons? Maybe he taught them dark magic!

This reinforces the already convincing theory that he’s a villain

@aceroruga clarified for me that “indbildskehed” means vanity or conceit. “They must pay for their vanity,” yikes!

@fallkos clarified that “bygge vones fremtid” means “build our future.” Ironically, that’s what Google Translate wrote before I changed the spelling of some other word. The algorithm was working against me lmao

The TDP team has mastered foreshadowing

I am going to sleep now

EDIT: The second book is in Arabic, and @restuffedants translated the screenshot!

Phil with more bird traits:

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

Waaaaait

God is not from this earth right? Does this mean God is an alien?

Sh*it everything I knew was a lie.

How did you sum us up so good? Why is this so spot on? Should we be scared?

As to avoid some confusion, here are the people explained:

le me: local satanistic techsupport, always here for listening and mental support, just don’t expect advice from me, loves videogames (PC & PS4), but also books, stans Benedict Cumberbatch and everything Cyberpunk (yes i cried when Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed for a second time), in a relationship with satan, probably the most mentally stable person in this group, hasn’t seen the lion king, occasionally dms a round of pen and paper

Finn: is literally satan, cutest and most loving person, yet hella sarcastic, done with everyones shit, suffers the most from Dilan‘s bad word plays, huge star wars nerd, he literally knows every meme there possibly is, also loves videogames, currently lacking of general kids- and netflix-show knowledge, but we’re working on that

Ely: @1elysium , constantly suffering mom friend, yes she has heard every joke there is about red hair, no she does not appreciate getting burned, tells people to please not die, another huge star wars nerd, can confuse not-knowing people by nerding with Finn about it, and yes she has read every fanfiction about it there is on Ao3

Brian: @xettsstuff , the meme-lord with the grunge aesthetic, also a hella good cook, another videogame-enthusiast, very much enjoys annoying other people in civ, does not approve of me conquering spain tho smh, also a pretty great dm, we always get him to the verge of complete desparation tho, very much enjoys Dark Souls, even tho it makes him rage most of the time

Dilan: @dilllonon , most wholesome person you will ever meet, u do something for her? She will thank you approximately 20 times for it, at least, the biggest cinnamon roll, but whenever you expect it least, she will make a word play, so bad, that you will suffer for at least 3 workdays (yes she will apologize for it afterwards, multiple times), also obsessed with ethics and philosophy, especially Kant

Vivien: if there is a Kink, she probably knows and, by chance also has it, very protective over her waifus, can also draw them like one of her french girls, very much enjoys space and astronomy (not astrology), very offended on a personal basis, as soon as someone confuses those two, also enjoys watching trash on either youtube or netflix late at night

Tom: looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll that could actually kill you, might stab you in the side (no, not with a knife) and won’t stop until u either stab him back strong and fast enough or ur laying on the ground, begging for him to stop, can T-pose you, because the probability is high, that he’s taller than you, is the semi-rich one of the group

Arthur: if people were adjectives, then he would be: lost, he has the talent, to always time his semi-stupid question unintentionally right, which either ends in other people suffering or other people laughing so hard, that they can’t breathe, he also has a very eloquent way of speaking, which mostly makes the whole situation even more hilarious and/or confusing for others

Ria: the extrovert, she has socialising 100 and doesn’t hesitate to just talk to random people, also a bit hyperactive, befriends random people in Valorant, but is too shy to actually meet them in real life, very enthusiastic about Videogames in general, but can only commit to them over a certain time, can actually draw and make it look aesthetic

Pffffff XD

SO that spell Aaravos had Viren do, the one that let the caterpillar from one side of the mirror to the other?

You might say they opened…a wormhole.

1. Phew I'm glad

2. So Jago would in a way still make the choice for Obi wan right? Would Obi be angry about that in his "I'm not angry just very disappointed" kind of way? Or would he be hurt? And maybe that could prompt Dooku actually talking to Jango like "listen, I know I did fucked up stuff and so did you, but hurting obi wan like this is too much" so that Jango maybe hates him a little less because the old guy has a point...

Also, what happens to maul? Because if the people support Jango wouldn't they try to come help obi wan in recusing him? Mandos don't really have a reputation to sit around idly while one of their own gets hurt and now I'm just imagining obi wan leading mandos into battle with his black saber.... I digress sorry but this au is just too good! So many possibilities! And on another note, where's qui Gon?

@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 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
