"Luke's goodness is Padme's legacy in him"
No. This is an oversimplification. Luke is what Anakin maybe could have been if he wasn't subjected to trauma and abuse and groomed by a Sith Lord while growing up! Anakin in TPM was so warm and genuine and incredibly altruistic, and that! Is how Luke is!! Force power and piloting ability are not the only things Luke inherited from his father; Luke gets his goodness from BOTH his parents (and we also can't discount the influence of Owen and Beru here!). In fact, I would argue that the goodness in Luke that comes from Anakin is crucial to the resolution we get in ROTJ because it is Luke who shows Anakin he doesn't have to be evil anymore!
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.
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.
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.
I’m screaming this is so freaking cute
Gwynriel Headcanons: Cozy & Festive ❄️🌲
A/N: I finished Dash&Lily on Netflix and now I'm watching Love Actually. Grab a cup of cocoa and read some heartwarming Gwynriel headcanons
Gwyn gets really into knitting. She's naturally crafty & good at everything.
Nesta, Cass, Emerie and Az wearing gorgeous knit sweaters
Azriel asking if she knows how to make mittens too because his hands get cold 🥺
Gwyn making a matching set of mittens & a beanie for Azriel and Azriel ONLY
Az proudly wearing his Berdara bespoke and looking like a cozy sexy hunk
the rest of IC getting super jealous (as they should)
Midnight flying trips to see the festive faelights decorating Velaris.
Gwyn's beaming smile & wide-eyed awe. Azriel's soft eyes and secret smiles staring at Gwyn's face. It's prettier than the lights.
Late-night hot cocoa and deep intimate conversations. Extra marshmallows and whipped cream for Gwyn, of course.
Azriel getting a hot cocoa mustache
Gwyn: "Shadowsinger, have you ever thought of growing out your beard a little?"
Gwyn, mumbles: "You'd look hot with scruff."
Az: "What was that?"
Gwyn: "Nothing." 😳
Azriel tells Gwyn all about the IC’s Solstice traditions and the snowball fight
Azriel trying to be suave and cool casually bragging about all his wins to impress Berdara
Gwyn totally amused that he’s being cocky knowing damn well he lost last year
Gwyn teasing Az about his crushing defeat, being a stubborn sore loser, and this silly cocky attitude.
Azriel: 😑
Gwyn: "So is your goal this year just to win or total annihilation?"
Total annihilation, obviously.
Gwyn and Azriel spend the week before the snowball fight perfecting his plan to completely wreck Rhys & Cass. They devise snow density ratios, sphere-forming techniques, psychological analysis of Cass & Rhys' strengths and weaknesses
Azriel: "I surveyed the ground. The best vantage point is beside the pine tree. The snow fort should be approximately this meters tall..."
Gwyn: "Cassian has a height advantage for throwing. Rhys is shorter which is better for dodging. Cass is more easily provoked. If they start attacking each other you can use the overhand technique...
He wins. Thank you, Gwyneth Berdara.
The cold and stormy weather makes training a little harder than usual. One night, they're dripping in rain. The floor is slick and they end up falling and wrestling on the ground. Cue intense sexual tension and a dramatic stare into each other's eyes.
The nights when it's unbearably cold they stay inside just talking or reading with each other
Azriel has a humongous and cozy blanket. Gwyn loves it and looks positively adorable all snuggled up.
For some reason, they can always fall asleep when they're near each other. For some reason, they always wake up leaning against each other on the sofa. One particularly cold morning, they wake up spooning. But they're just friends, of course.
Gwyn's cold breath forming small clouds and Az's shadowing swirling around it. Curious, innit?
Azriel looking devilishly handsome in a black cashmere turtleneck
Snowflakes in Azriel's hair
Gwyn's freckled nose and cheeks tinging rosy red
Gwyn absentmindedly humming Solstice choir music and old festive songs
Gwyn, Azriel, Nesta and Cassian decorating the House of Wind with garlands, lights, holly, and evergreens.
Nesta and Cassian kissing under the mistletoe. Then, making out under the mistletoe.
Azriel catches clumsy Gwyn from falling while putting up lights
Cassian breaking a box of ornaments and Nesta shouting at him
Gwyn and Cassian wrapping themselves in tinsel
Nesta: "Where did they get bells?!?!"
Azriel: *exasperated sigh*
Gwyn and Cass: *jingle jingle* Okay let's try running faster! *jinglejinglejinglejingle*
The gang traveling to Illyria and surprising Emerie. They decorate her shop and share some mulled wine and peppermint tea.
The girls build Frosty the Snowbat. It's quite impressive and large. It’s modeled after Az’s wingspan…for reasons
The gang makes a point to give back and donate food, clothes, and toys (because a certain High Lord can't be bothered to care about his citizens 🙄) #sorrynotsorry
Gwyn organizes a children's choir in the village. Nesta gives dance lessons. Chef Cass makes a feast. Emerie gives out gifts. It's an Illyrian celebration spectacular!
Azriel helps all of them. He's quite popular with the kids. He's the baritone in Gwyn's choir.
The show is a rousing success and their singing earns a standing ovation
Gwyn knows a recipe to make what are essentially fireworks (the evil lightsinger knows how to make evil colorful lights in the sky OooO she's so dangerous)
Azriel doesn't want Gwyn to get burned. He flies them up into the sky and uses his shadows to help set them off. It's bright and magical. Everyone is in awe, especially, Gwyn.
She thanks him for his help and they share a sweet moment under a snowy tree hidden from everyone.
Azriel the Illyrian Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day.
Gwyn jumping into Azriel arms excitedly to hug him every time she greets him (she's really cheery around the holidays and he’s always super warm)
Both of them savoring in each other's warmth and lingering in their embraces
Frosty but sunny morning trips into town for holiday shopping for all their friends.
Gwyn is a beautiful writer and makes her own cards. She writes the most loving and heartfelt notes inside. She brings Nesta and Emerie to tears. Cassian is choked up and practically squishes her.
Azriel is stunned and so moved that he can't form words and his chest feels funny. He waits until they are alone. He doesn't know what to say so he just hugs her for a very long time. He kisses her on the forehead and tells her how grateful he is for their friendship (oh these sweet idiots)
Despite the freezing cold, this holiday season feels warm. They feel the joy, they feel cared for, they feel loved. The long cold nights feel less lonely with each other.
Who else feels warm and fuzzy? already working on a part 2 ☺️
early criminal minds (seasons 1-5) is so fucking funny if you think about it from the perspective of literally anyone that the BAU interacts with outside of each other. to recap what’s going on, let’s go over the team. We’ve got:
Elle Greenaway- murderous bitch who maybe murdered someone in cold blood (claimed self defense but who can prove that?)
Spencer Reid- a genius with both mommy and daddy issues who looks like a fourteen year old TA and does magic tricks whilst, at some points, zooted off his ass on dilaudid
Jason Gideon- man who screams at crime scenes and lays down in blood stains
Derek Morgan- calls their tech analyst like “ugh mommy shove that nice hot information down my throat”
Penelope Garcia- the aforementioned Information Mommy, who talks to the team (specifically morgan) like a phone sex operator trying to make enough to cover rent
Jennifer Jareau- bubbly blonde woman who yells at TV reporters and kicks ass
David Rossi- rich, elderly, famous crime novelist who DEFINITELY should be retired
Emily Prentiss- goth lesbian who DEFINITELY has cursed folks out in one of the many languages she knows
Aaron Hotchner- tired workaholic man, trying his best to hold this shitshow together, also beat a man to death
like, can you IMAGINE??? it’s the worst week of your life. Some madman is running around, i don’t know, killing folks and cutting off their nipples or something, and this absolute clown brigade rolls up like “ah yes, just another Tuesday for us lmao” and start asking you questions about what kind of dirt this murderer had stuck to his shoes, and then they SOLVE THE CASE???? what the fuck must you be thinking at that point
the turkey swiss on rye incident
Just a ton of fandom things Star Wars, ACOTAR, HP, Marauders, LOTR, anything I might be into at the moment
