Funnily enough, when they first meet past the edges of the Sol system, the aliens like the humans.

None of the humans were prepared for this.

The humans prepared for decades- for centuries! to contact life out in the black, and be judged harshly for their past.

The aliens, almost to the one, seemed delighted with humanity and everything they entailed. Good, bad, and ugly.

“You see, we heard you calling out for long, long, long… we could not find where you called out from. Now we have! You called for so long, and now we meet you! It is good to know you! We have tried so hard to find you and say, Hello!”

The messages Earth sent out, just in case there was anyone out there to hear, to extend reassurance that they simply were not alone was received always with delight. And they sparked a soft race to find the origin of such a kind and curious signal into the vastness of the universe.

something something everyone helping each other through their scars something something you dont have to face your traumas alone your friends love you and want to help something something wally clocking mr manfredo rhonda repeating to wally that none of it was real charley picking up the deathplay football when wally couldn't keep a grip on it all of them staring down the table full of charleys and not letting him near the vending machine alone

something something I can't carry it for you but I can carry you.

I will never be normal about them

Maddie and Wally’s relationship being one of the only selfish things either of them had ever done in their lives/afterlives and then Wally saving Maddie from drowning in her codependence in her scar, I’m fine

When you think too deeply about silly haha ghost mystery drama show and remember it’s literally a story about children that died. Kids, some of which weren’t even old enough to have a driver’s license, who didn’t even get to graduate yet, that died traumatically or were brutally murdered and now have to spend the rest of eternity haunting the halls of the school they never got to leave, watching generations of other kids get to grow up when they’ll never get to. They were only high schoolers, man 😭

Maddie really went from "Xavier's messed up and I thought it was hot" to "It's hot that Wally is loyal and and there for me." in the span of like a month she speedran her 20s at age 18 lmfao

This is part of the reason why I don’t believe our ghosts are going to cross over any time soon. While they have had discussions about their deaths and their pasts, there needs to be some sort of healing and acceptance of it, and that hasn’t happened yet for our core ghosts.

I feel like Dawn's scar healed. Like the physical scar Maddie was in did not feel like the other scars. So I think her crossing over kind of healed her scar. And so what I also think is that to cross over a ghost is gonna have to get closure on something that is immediately connected to their death/scar. Because all the ghost's scars are about their death but it's heightened and with all their insecurities added into the situation. If I remember correctly Dawn crossed over because Maddie had said something to her that was the complete opposite of Dawn's insecurities. Dawn's death is directly connected to her friends making fun of her behind her back and her obviously feeling hurt by and insecure about that. Then later Maddie says to her that she deserved an apology and that she's sorry people made her feel like a joke because she isn't and she even tells her that she's a good friend. Dawn was probably always insecure about that. I mean the other ghosts did make some not so nice comments about her too. But when Maddie came she told her the exact opposite and she truely meant it. She gave Dawn the validation that she had probably always wanted from her friends and that healed something for Dawn which lead to her crossing over. That's why Rhonda didn't cross over even after finding out what her friend's song was actually about. Because it doesn't directly connect to her death. I'm assuming for her to cross over she would have to get closure on Mr. Manfredo's betrayal, however that may look like for her.

So what I'm saying is. I think crossing over is directly connected to a ghosts's death and the insecurities that lead to/were present during their death and that are represented in their scars. When a ghost crosses over their scar mentally and physically "heals" because that ghost is not bound to those insecurities or their death anymore

I'm normally a big bitch about anachronisms but I'm willing to handwave them for School Spirits bc decades and decades is sure to make your memory murky and mushy. Wally misses Debbie Gibson despite her first album coming out three years after he died? He heard it after he was already trapped. Emilio showed Charley Crash Into Me in 1994 even though the song released in 1996? No he didn't, Charley doesn't remember what song it really was and he's substituted one he's heard Emilio listening to since. Quinn was a huge Veronica Mars fan in 2004 even though the show would have only aired a handful of episodes when she died? It's one of the few things she remembers about herself before the mind draining numbness of being stuck in a loop and she's latched onto it as part of her anyway.

Like I am SO willing to make shit up about the things they say that aren't right in the timeline if it makes it sadder. Love it.

The absolute cruelty of the "Let Go" cover playing during the pool scene, because in order for Maddie to get her life back, Wally will have to let her go eventually. And she'll have to let go of him too, not just because she won't be able to see or speak to him anymore, but because she'll get to grow up and live a full life when he never will. She'll get to go to college, find herself outside of the confines of adolescence, have a career of her choosing, maybe even fall in love again and have a family if she wants to. If she gets to live again, she will be the Wendy to his Peter. The Wendy who gets to grow up while he'll always be outside her window, waiting for a reunion that will never come. This would've messed me up as a teenager but I think it hits even harder as an adult because you have a greater awareness of the magnitude of that kind of loss, especially if you know what it's like to see friends and classmates die young. They stay frozen in time, unable to move forward and hit certain milestones, while you and the rest of their peers are left to go on living. It's a surreal experience, and it never feels right. I think we all automatically expect our peers to be out there somewhere living parallel lives even if we're not close to them. We expect them to get the same amount of time we do. But some of them don't, and you have to keep going while you wonder why them, why were they the ones who had to get left behind? The older you get, the more gut-wrenching that thought becomes, and it's something this show handles very well without shoving it in your face to evoke an emotional reaction. It just quietly acknowledges the reality of that experience, which makes it all the more poignant.

the west wing is the best show ever because you wouldn’t expect to come out of a hard-hitting, critically acclaimed political drama with the ultimate found family trope, right? and yet the president is a complete nerd, his wife is scary and the top in their relationship, the president and his chief of staff are Dad 1 and Dad 2, the deputy chief of staff and his assistant are in a years-long emotional affair and everyone knows it but them, the communications director is grumpy as hell and you love him so much, the press secretary is tall, hot and awesome, the deputy communications officer is the gay son and the president’s aide is the human personification of a pleasure to have in class. and they’re all family and love each other very much :)

Alwyn Scribe to me is a character of all time. Was illiterate up to age 17, then very soon after learning to write became regarded as one of the best scribes in the world. Lies at any given opportunity. Once tried to smuggle a vial of poison into prison by hiding it up his ass. God’s specialist little guy despite spending most of the series an atheist. Started several holy wars while once again not believing in any of the religions involved. Kept refusing to break up with his girlfriend despite all the red flags and the divine omens that she was evil. Really cares about preserving books and history but also wrote shit that was fully not true and tried to get it into an archive. Historians cannot agree whether he was good or evil because he switched sides so much. What more could you want from a man

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

Imagine just how popular the members of the Fellowship would be in Gondor and Rohan after the War of the Ring. They’re the heroes who saved the world, and the common folks look up at them in awe.

A few years after the end of the war, Legolas is visiting Minas Tirith when he hears a woman call his name. He turns around, surprised, only to see this stranger calling after a toddler running away from her. “Legolas, come back to mama!” she calls, over and over. There’s a baby on her hip who start crying, and she gently shushes her little Pippin. Legolas walks away, feeling wistful and wondering.

In Rohan, Éomer hears one of his men proudly announce the birth of his first child, a little boy named Merry; he smiles and congratulates the young father, making a mental note to write to Merry Brandybuck.

Gimli becomes a very popular name for little girls in Gondor, and this sends Aragorn and Legolas into hysterical fits of laughter. Gimli is unbearably proud of this fact.

Samwise and Frodo, too, become popular children names, no matter the gender, and especially amongst lower class folks. When Sam hears of the news, he turns red and sputtering.

Two decades or so after the war, Faramir almost has a heart attack when one of the new recruits of the guard of Ithilien almost sheepishly introduces himself as Boromir.

this sucks so bad i need to (remembers suicide jokes only make my mental health worse) join an expedition to find the northwest passage

Phee: You must be Crosshair. Tech told me all about you. Also, because of Tech, I’m your friend.

Also Phee: *Does insane aerial stealth tricks* *Does risky maneuvers to help the Batch* *Isn’t afraid to do shady stuff to help the Batch*

Crosshair: Tech, if you can hear me, I wish you never pulled Plan 99. Phee would be a lovely sister-in-law.

if mor was a girls girl she'd have yanked Cassian back and scolded him for bothering Nesta so much. idc if they're worst enemies or whatever but if I see a girl getting harassed by some guy after she verbally said to leave her alone, ESPECIALLY if it was my guy friend, I'd be putting his ass in his place for bothering her like ew why are u letting this man harass a girl when u were the subject of male harassment. girl ur an embarrassment to feminism and solidarity

daily reminder that azriel SMILES!! when he met feyre he smiled! when he gave nesta her gift, he smiled! he laughs!! u think he survived hell just to never smile or be happy?? sure he might play it coy sometimes, usually to rile cassian and rhys up, but he laughs into his tea and bites his lip to keep from smiling and openly grins!! and that’s canon! LET THIS MAN BE HAPPY IN PEACE I BEG OF U.

Never forget Lucien Vanserra brought a whole ass army from another continent where he had 0 ties all based on some fragmented visions from his mate.

And then RAN across a battlefields without dying, cutting down enemies as he went, to make sure she was okay.

I have this headcanon that, when asked for their CT number, having been caught doing something they shouldn't, most clones will default to 'CT-6969'.

Because apparently someone checked and that number was blacklisted, so it's kind of an urban legend with clones, and a way to get off the hook for any damages/costs/repercussions.

Until one day, a griselled old clone shows up at 79's looking like an absolute BAMF. I mean this guy makes Woolfe look like a tiny puppy.

Scorched, scratched and tagged armour, shaggy beard, scars all over his face, just one seriously badass looking clone.

And he starts (or more finishes before it started) a fight, and when the droid behind the bar asks for his CT number, cool as a cucumber and without flinching, he replies in a gravelly voice:

"CT-6969."

And the entire bar goes silent, just staring at him while he looks around, grinning.

So when he goes to leave, a shiny gets pushed in front of him by his batch and stammers out the question; 'Are you him?'

The Old clone just laughs, pats the shiny on the shoulder and winks as he passes him by, disappearing back into the night.

Rhys: “So let’s see if I’ve got this; you have immense shadow power, incredible combat skills, height, tattoos, secrets, dead parents, a thirst for vengeance, the weight of the world on your shoulders, a rebellion to lead, and a dragon?”

Xaden: “Yeah? I mean, there’s also my girlfriend who I’m completely in love with and 107 people under my protection but-”

Rhys: *frantically flipping through papers* “this is the hyper-intelligent girlfriend with unprecedented lightning powers? The one you speak to with your mind and call a nickname permanently?”

Xaden: “I do only have the one girlfriend. Kinda offended you’d think otherwise.”

Rhys: *signs a paper* “Adopted. The rebellion thing is handled. Me and your aunts and uncles have got this. Your new mom is going to need some time to add you and your mate to the family portrait gallery. Your bedroom is upstairs, knives are in the training ring, family dinner is every Thursday, your allowance is infinity and your curfew is never.”

Xaden: “I am…. Older than your wife?”

Rhys: “Did I fucking stutter?”

I'm thinking about the Jedi and Anakin, like you do, and it just cracks me up so much to see any variation of 'they always looked at him with suspicion, like they were waiting for him to mess up.'

Sure, in TPM they're unsure about him because Qui-Gon is dropping a nine year old with a lot of previous issues onto their laps and telling them they really should give him a laser sword and train him in the ways of the supernatural universe bending empathic powers that let you blow things up with your mind and that go haywire if you're emotionally unbalanced. Nobody's thrilled about the prospect.

But after that, honestly, the only Jedi who can ever be said to look at Anakin somewhat like that is Mace, which can be forgiven because 1) the man is Stressed and the people he doesn't expect to mess up are far and few in between, and 2) he and Anakin still have a rather cordial relationship overall, even if they aren't bffs.

But Luminara? Constantly smiles at Anakin. Jocasta? Same. Aayla? Calls him Master Skywalker (respectful, considering they're the same rank in the Order, if maybe not in the Army), is very caring and nice to him. Shaak Ti? Never changes that soft expression of hers. Adi? Big smirk when he shows off, like "aw, would you look at this kid." Plo? You can't even tell how he looks at people. Kit? Biggest grin. Even Piell? He's a grumpy bastard but he's not judgmental. Ki-Adi? Yeah, I guess it does happen once in a while - but he does it with Yoda as well they think he might be under attack from the Dark Side, so really it's him having a suspicious nature, not him targeting Anakin specifically. Seriously, Obi-Wan is more critical of Anakin than Ki-Adi is, and Obi-Wan has an Anakin-shaped blind spot in his soul.

Speaking of Obi-Wan - when he leaves for Utapau in RotS, he has the sparkly eyes of someone so overflowing with love that the gravitational pull of his affection for Anakin is warping the very light around them both.

Jedi freaking like Anakin is what I'm saying.

I think about him a normal amount

Imagine a world where Obi-Wan survives episode IV and has to deal with another generation of disaster romances with the Skywalker family.

Leia: *falls head over heels with a dashingly handsome and very mouthy rogue who has more red flags than green*

Obi-Wan: “Oh no.”

Luke: *flirts with a stubborn yet extremely caring world leader despite the Jedi’s no-attachment rule*

Obi-Wan: “Not again.”

When I waited in anticipation, for two years, for Season 2 of The Bad Batch, never for one moment did I think it would result in my partner chanting ‘Let Tech fuck!’ whilst eating breakfast.
