maybe the leia in the fics I've been reading is spectacularly arrogant, but GOD

anyway fic recs where leia gets humbled out of her core-world perspective?

In the warehouse where I work we usually leave one of the empty loading bay doors open in the summer to let cool air in and during 7am break there used to be the most beautiful view of the sun rising on the mountains through there.

But now they've built another warehouse next door and you can't see them anymore and it still makes me a little sad every day :/

Mara Jade: Where did you get this?!

Ghent: From your computer.

Mara Jade: You hacked into my personal files?! And how did you get the password?!

The Entire Crew of the Wild Karrde: It’s Luke Skywalker.

Padme lost the will to live because unmedicated birth to twins would do that.

using "pack" instead of "chat". pack is this real.

they will never convince me to take fuck out of my star wars fics. i'm fine with throwing in some kark and kriff and osik and shab whatever that's all well and good but they will have to pry the real life swear fuck from my cold dead hands. kark simply does not hit the same and canon can eat dirt when i've decided it's time for commander cody to say "what the fuck are you talking about sir" or some shit equivalent

There's a panel in Star Wars 17 where Vader tells Luke "Your strength in the Force has grown since last we met" and Luke corrects him "My connection to the Force, Vader," and this is interesting for what it says about the difference between Sith and Jedi philosophies but it's also an interesting character note that Luke feels compelled to be pedantic even in the middle of a goddamn firefight.

Had this idea for a while. Finally did something with it.

I went with charcoal instead of pen and am so glad I did 😭😭

I love a good “Padmé lives au” as much as any Padmé fan but only if it’s written with the intent of keeping her in character and not reducing her to the picture perfect girlboss icon of hating Vader and wanting to end his ass while being a badass single mom. Any au that does this excruciatingly misunderstands fundamental aspects of Padmé’s unique character because if she’d live past EP III, she would become a rebel to finish the Empire and their cause once and for all while fight to save her husband whom she never stopped believing in, not join them because she wants revenge and intends to fight against him. Vader himself wouldn’t have even remained entrapped by the forces of the dark side for as long as he did in canon if Padmé had lived. She would’ve succeeded in bringing him back to the light the same way Luke did, and much faster too.

AITA for striking my (M43) son (M20) when he rejected me as his father?

I understand that the title might have you thinking the worst, but please hear me out.

I didn't have a relationship with my son for basically all his life. This was due to my circumstances at the time: I went through a major personal tragedy and was severely injured, to the point of being on life support. To this day I have a lot of issues with my health.

I recently reconnected with my son. I immediately invited him to meet my boss (M92), in hopes that I could set him up with a job opportunity. I feel that this is significant. As far as I know, my son has been working in menial jobs in agriculture, but then apparently chose to leave that life and - to my shock - join a criminal syndicate.

I felt as if getting a good government job would be a way to turn over a new leaf in his life, especially given his past. However, he immediately became combative. I attempted to give him some guidance in managing his emotions, but he rejected that as well.

I'm sad to say that the argument became physical. Some blows were exchanged, but in the end, I was angry enough to strike him. I immediately felt very bad, and decided to offer him the government job on the spot. He rejected me again, and chose to leave very abruptly. I haven't had any contact with him since.

So, AITA?

Edit: Yes, I admit that to call it striking him was an understatement. To clarify, I cut off his hand.

Edit: However, I feel like it should be stated that I myself am a quadruple amputee and we have excellent healthcare.

Edit: I did not immediately identify myself as his father when we met. I think this was my mistake. I think he would have been much more receptive of my message had I done so. As it stands I only told him of our relationship after I had struck him.

Edit: My wife is not in the picture. To my knowledge she passed before his birth.

How will this affect my Mara Jade cosplay???

I'm pretty sure it's only parentification if it's happening to a child and relatedly is fandom ever going to quit it with the 'parentified obi wan' it's embarrassing. He was 25.

[lilyonmain]

all respect and love to people who ship that, but the thought that either anakin or padmé would be intrested in adding someone else to their relationship (or that it could ever go well) is kinda crazy to me personally

[lilyonmain]

Was going through this blog and my wife said I should ask: Do you like Star Wars?

[lilyonmain]

sorry for curling up at your feet and whimpering like an injured dog that wasn't very mysterious of me
