For the first time in my life, a non filthy thought in the shower:

Think about all the fan fiction you’ve read — all the hours of entertainment, or something to ease your boredom or to soothe your sleepless night.

All you’ve learned from it — either a writing skill, a new vocabulary word, a new structure or something about interpersonal relationships, or how to deal with hard times in your life.

And all the fic that you remember — your very favorite, some that you still recall scenes from, some that still make you smile or make you ache.

All the fic you have saved on your phone to reread over and over again.

Writers: YOU write that. YOU DO. You write something so extraordinary, something so real but also something so filthy and fun and the perfect way to soothe a frayed mind or just enjoy for pure pleasure — YOU WRITE THAT.

Isn’t that incredible to think of your stories being those above things for someone?

Because they are (for me, for one, but others too) — and we are so lucky you share it with us.

Also — how amazing it is to know that all the things you cherish about fic, you’ve given as a gift to others? ❤️

“The Jedi’s rules are outdated and don’t work” someone please point out to me whether it’s “don’t murder people when you’re pissed off” or “learn to accept that everything changes with time” that is the outdated stupid rule the Jedi follow.

Maybe I’m the dumb one or whatever, but … I like Anakin because he’s the worst.

I know some of y'all really love him for reasons and for some of you those reasons mostly just involve doing a bunch of insane mental gymnastics to somehow “justify” his heinous af choices (i.e. trying to blame the Jedi for literally every dumb little thing he did, but whatever).

But, guys … come the fuck on. The reason Anakin’s such a great character (please note I said *character,* not a *person*) is because he’s a selfish piece of shit that ruined the lives of everyone he loved and then made the entire galaxy suffer for his mistakes.

My guy, that is tragedy and hubris at its fucking finest. That is some A-grade quality shit right there.

I’m really starting to doubt if some of y'all have ever read/experienced a piece of media where the main character isn’t a paragon of all things good and moral. You don’t have to flip over backwards to justify liking a villain.

Personally, I never want Anakin to change. I want him to keep making shit choices, I want him to keep hurting people and being a selfish butthurt dictator prick. I like that he’s a piece of shit that abused the trust that his loved ones put in him because it fucking hurts to see him become the monster he is.

It hurts to see a character you care so much about actively making the choice to turn themselves into their absolute worst. It’s downright heartbreaking to see them hurt their loved ones and it’s all the more tragic when their love transforms into selfish obsession and possession.

Yes, Palpatine did manipulate Anakin. BUT-Anakin still made the choice to kill Mace, to burn down the Jedi Temple, to rob the 501st of their autonomy (something a former slave should never have been okay with btw), forced his men to participate in killing fucking children, killed his own wife and endangered the lives of his own unborn children, attacked and attempted to kill his brother/father figure, and then continued to subjugate and destroy the lives of millions, if not outright billions for nearly two whole decades.

(He also tortured his son and daughter, their friends, their allies, etc. And like … maimed his own son ‘cause like why the fuck not? Fuck, I haven’t even gone into detail about the absolute horror he put Obi-wan and Ahsoka through. Fuck me).

Anakin is the worst. And he’s an amazing character. Both of these facts can exist at the same time.

Tldr: y'all are really out here acting like Anakin wasn’t a big boy who didn’t make big boy choices. Let him be a prick.

literally only watched the first episode but good lord the vibes between owen and obi-wan are just SO rancid i love it so much its even more painful than i imagined kenobi didn’t just make a sad little model spaceship, he was inspired to make it while sadly watching luke from sad little space bincoculars AND he spent like all his none money on it, and he bought the parts from the jawa who regularly steals from him AND he delivered it in the middle of the night!! it was so sad! it was so sweet! and then OWEN THREW IT BACK AT HIMasfdjlkghadlfkfm dying. that’s right owen!! fucking kick him while he’s down!! i love it so much!!!!

desperately want an au where owen and beru and obi-wan survive, and all go to yavin together. all i want from this au is owen and obi-wan having to spend time with each other, because, you know, luke. and i want owen to NEVER let up on Obi-Wan. Just constantly ruthlessly drag the famous jedi in front of the entire rebellion and the force itself

owen: you fucker. you absolute fucker. ben: i assume you’re talking to me. owen: I TOLD you to stay away from luke! look what you did! look at what you’ve done! ben: to be fair he came to me, and— owen: so you immediately gave him a laser sword??? what the fuck is wrong with you? ben: I— owen: this is why i didn’t want you around! literally the first time you talked to him my house burnt down! ben: that— owen: and then you IMMEDIATELY told him that DARTH VADER killed his father? is that even true? you never even mentioned vader when you first brought him!! ben: ah— luke: you brought me to my aunt and uncle? owen: and then you fucking put him in the SAME ROOM AS VADER? Are you trying to get him killed or are you just a moron? ben: that wasn’t…that wasn’t— owen: get off this planet and stay the hell away from my family ben: right, right, i’ll just—i’ll just go— mon mothma, general akbar, luke skywalker, etc:  mon mothma, general akbar, luke skywalker, etc: WAIT DON’T ACTUALLY LEAVE— Owen: stay out of this!

I like how like… with every new piece of Star Wars media that paints Tatooine as more and more of a shithole where everyone is a murderous crimelord the funnier it gets that Luke Skywalker just grew up on this planet completely normal. Like I’m envisioning a normal day at Tosche Station where a cyborg biker and a  Twi'lek prostitute are stabbing each other over a bag of spice and then it just pans over to this fresh-faced nancy boy sitting at a table sipping on his blue milk going “oh golly, I sure do love power converters!”

Honestly, a part of me doesn't believe that Padme would have ever gotten into a relationship with/married Anakin if he hadn't murdered the Tuskens.

Like that seems to be such a clear turning point for them. Whether you believe that her reasoning for brushing it off is that she's racist towards the Tuskens, she's got trauma surrounding the occupation of Naboo and complicated feelings towards the Neimoidians/Trade Federation, whatever. This is the moment that Anakin reveals himself. This is the first real moment between them, the first time Anakin drops his entire charade, any attempt at politeness or civility or flirtation. Even in the two prior moments (packing scene where he complains about Obi-Wan and the fireplace confession), he's holding onto that last little bit of his self-control. He loses more and more as he goes along, until he hits THIS MOMENT. And this is the moment where Padme sees him as he truly is. Full of rage. Full of pain. Full of fear. Enough to murder an entire village down to the last child.

Before that moment, she's always telling him no. She goes with him to Tatooine, sure, but she's still holding herself a little bit apart, a little more distant, right up until he comes back with his mother's corpse in his arms. And she tells him that to be angry is to be human, which to me implies a certain amount of knowledge of exactly how it feels to be that angry. Angry enough to want to kill those who'd hurt you or the people you loved. THIS is the Anakin she loves, for better or worse. She's not necessarily all that into the polite Padawan, or the whiny teenager who can barely flirt. But the murderous young man? The grieving son?

She can relate to that. She can CONNECT to that. She can UNDERSTAND that. And so that's when she falls for him. Everything else is just icing at best. She loves the rage, knowing exactly what it leads to.

If Anakin had held himself back with the Tuskens, if he had chosen not to hurt them and held himself back, or if Shmi had simply not been taken at all, I don't know if Padme would have married him. A part of her WANTS that person, even as he frightens her.

Unfortunately the stark fact is that Anakin objectively did treat the clones worse than other jedi did. That he was pretty good with them for three years might make him better than Krell but I doubt other jedi would have been prepared to override their free will entirely to force them to kill little kids. You can’t just… ignore that when looking at his relationship with the clones.

At the end of the day he cared about the clones the same way he cared about the jedi. He cared about Rex the same way he cared about Ahsoka and Obi Wan. He cared, just not enough not to betray them and kill them. He valued their lives, but not as much as he valued his needs.

This is a canon interaction they have had before.

I've been on a star wars kick since the obi-wan series came out, so expect more comics soon.

Was thinking about modern AU and these are the only acceptable outfit variations for Qui-Gon

I love Mandalorians so much. They're all digging their own graves all the time and arguing about how this method of grave digging is much better than that OTHER guy's method of grave digging. Sometimes they get into wars with each other about whose grave is better. It never occurs to them to stop digging.

"The Jedi repress their feelings!"

One of their sayings is: 'feel, don't think' tho.

"The Jedi teach to obey orders unquestioningly and to not use one's head!"

They have a giant library, kids talk back to their masters all the time with no consequences, and one of their OTHER sayings is 'use the Force, think.'

"The Jedi are inconsistent and therefore hypocritical."

The Jedi have another saying that combines the first two: 'be mindful of your feelings.'

And they understand that good advice varies according to circumstances.
