Do you ship Thrawn and Eli? Because I do but my dumb ass decided that I wanted to know their age and now my brain won’t stop reminding me that they have around a 28 year age gap because when they met, Thrawn was around 50 and Eli was around 22. 😐

HE'S FIFTY LMAO????? i thought he was in his mid-late 30s ngl LOL. but this doesn't reaaally change it bc i think thranto's 50% average ship stuff (like pining and matching each other on a unique/intellectual level) and then 50% a sci-fi edition of a victorian vampire romance, difficult power dynamics very much included LOL

#to me he's still in his 30s tho bc when i make a mistake abt canon im bad at fixing the version in my brain LMAO #that being said i think the ship gets abt 200% more fun when it starts when eli's a lot older/post exile #and all the pining's been done while thrawn's more powerful (higher rank; stronger; older)#but then bam. suddenly the dynamic's changed completely. thrawn is potentially rankless/beneath eli #and i love eli gets buff in the ascendancy stuff LMAO so bam. power dynamics reversed/balanced #thanks for the ask!
