Whenever I think about the dark side and how Star Wars talks about it, it's never as small as having a temper or being prideful
It's those character flaws to an extreme
It's the loss of control. The loss of stability. The loss of who you really wanted to be. It's everything you would be if you sacrificed any kind of restraint
No one's turn to the dark side has ever been treated as a freeing experience because that's not what it is. Most dark side users have been broken down and twisted by even worse characters into following them. In most cases, it takes years of pain and suffering to be fully corrupted. It takes direct brainwashing to turn someone quickly. The very few who seemingly turned to the dark side completely by their own choice were just inherently drawn to the worst aspects of a person's nature
Many jedi have their own flaws and struggles. Quite a few lose their way and need time to rediscover themselves and who they are as jedi, but many of them never fall to the dark side because the dark side is more severe than having negative traits
The light side represents who a person is when they are at peace with themselves. It's who they are when they accept their vices as part of them, and then refuse to let those same vices dominate them. Keeping your worst traits under control is not a form of repression
The dark side is the full rejection of all of your positive traits. It's embracing your vices to the point that compassion and kindness no longer exist. It's expressing every negative emotion without thought or restraint
Light represents freedom. You're free to decide for yourself what kind of person you want to be. You're free to choose your way forward. You're free to change and grow as you please
Darkness is the one that represents being trapped. It's the side that chains you to your hatred and refuses to let go. It's what blinds you to the goodness in the world and lose sight of everything you hoped to be
That's why there's no such thing as positive corruption in Star Wars
Watcher Dad AU that nobody asked for but here it is!
A) Lurien's main business outfit.
B) The Watcher's Crest - symbolizing the City of Tears
C) Lurien with a half-mask. Only wears it at home either alone or surrounded by those he cares about the most.
D) Disguise. Yes. It works. Lurien's knights are baffled that nobody watches the Watcher enough to tell that he walks the same despite wearing different colors and a three-hole mask.
Baby Knight gets adopted! And almost immediate glow-up and grow-up!
Fortis (Latin for "brave, strong") is one very happy baby living in the Watcher's Spire with Daddy. His best friend is Grubby the plushies and isn't he the best?
Don't mind me. Need this for reference.

Paul's been expecting the Shovel Talk from Percy for a while. He's an only child, teenaged boy, son of a Greek god whose mother's ex-husband used to abuse her so he was pretty much certain it was going to happen. The content of such talk was the surprise. Sally's a bad ass.

“Eleven dollars,” the cashier says, passing them their assorted snacks in a plastic bag. Paul hands over his card. Then, almost as if on an afterthought, the cashier adds: “He your son?” Paul freezes. The thing is, he wants to say yes. He wants to believe that both Percy and he think the answer is yes. But what if Poseidon smites him for daring to claim his son? The sea god is real. Paul doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life as a barnacle on the bottom of a ship.

Misunderstandings, Good friend Hermes, Protective Paul Blofis
Percy wakes up with a start. His eyes focus, and the same face is staring down at him. The same blue eyes, the same elvish features, same skin tone- Before he knows it, Percy lunges up, grabbing Luke with one hand, uncapping riptide with the other, kicking out with a leg and twisting until Luke is pinned underneath him. Percy slashes with riptide, forwards, under Luke’s neck until- Hands appear in front of his neck, stopping the blade from touching. Golden blood emerges, staining the celestial bronze blade. Golden blood? Luke doesn’t have golden blood. Breath heaving and confused, Percy looks up at Luke’s face. The large, intrusive scar that runs down Luke’s face isn’t there. His hair isn’t blonde, it’s brown. His eyes aren’t glowing golden. The presence that Kronos emits isn’t there. It’s not Luke. But if it’s not Luke, then that means - Oh no. Oh no no no. It’s Hermes.

Percy Jackson needs a hug, Sally Jackson is a good parent, hurt/comfort
The only real difference in this hallway, in this building, is Percy. He’s taller than the door’s peephole now, when he used to have to jump up on his toes to see through it. It’s small. It’s so small. It’s such a pointless detail, but Percy knows he doesn’t belong anymore. AKA: Percy goes home.

The reveal, technically the aftermath
Chapter 1: Their new place has rooftop access, which Percy has a hunch was a deliberate choice on his mom’s part. It’s tight, but it’s just about the right size for a Pegasus landing pad, just in case he ever needed a quick, supernatural pickup. It’s also where Paul has been for the last half hour, processing the huge revelation the two of them just dumped on him. (Between BotL/TLO, immediate post-Paul reveal). Chapter 2: Paul has been waiting for the other shoe to drop at Montauk for years. When it finally does, at Percy and Annabeth's birthday party, it does so in the best way possible. (Post-canon)
