Reading the novelization of A New Hope already changed how I saw Luke as a character but Splinter of the Mind’s Eye is going one step further and making me question the very fundamentals thought to be obvious about Luke.

Like, Luke is, for lack of a better term, a nerd. He studied languages and cultures -

“”Yes,” Luke admitted modestly. “I used to study a lot about certain worlds, back on my uncle’s farm on Tatooine. It was my only escape, and educational as well. This,” and he indicated the creature resting a massive long arm on his head and shaking him in a friendly fashion, “is a Yuzzem.””

-he wants to study more languages and cultures-

“Empty doorways beckoned to him and he was tempted, very tempted, to enter one of the ruined structures to find out if its interior was as well preserved as the outside.

This was not, he reminded himself firmly, the time for playful exploration. Their first concern was to find a way out, not to go poking around this ancient metropolis. However wonderful it was.”

Luke wants to know about people. He wants to know about cultures and creatures and he wants to be able to communicate and…

He really just. Is a great Jedi. He jumps between Leia and danger and he befriends the Yuzzem the prison guards thought would kill him and he wants to explore the creepy abandoned ruins of a civilization long past and he uses Anakin’s lightsaber underwater to cut the stem of a lilypad they use as a boat and he comments that the rock formations are almost too beautiful to cut down and he knows how to work Imperial explosives and

He’s a Jedi, man. He’s a Jedi. He’s been a Jedi this whole time, before any of us even knew what that actually meant.

I’ve been reading this awesome Star Wars fanfic, The Protégé, written by @spell-cleaver, and it really inspired me to draw some fanart! This scene is from chapter 4, where Luke and Leia are having some bonding time XDD

If y’all are interested, the fanfic’s premise is that Luke is raised by the Naberries, becomes the Senator of Naboo, and is sent to work in the Senate while Padmé is Empress and Vader is her bodyguard. The political intrigue and character relationships are amazing! Thank you so much SpellCleaver for your work!! While I wait in anticipation for the next update, please accept this humble offering as a token of my appreciation <333

Another painting of my loosely-medieval Luke and Vader! I guess this could be another interpretation of their Force-bond; I just went into drawing them without much of a plan or story behind it loll

Sometimes I think about Orpheus and Eurydice’s inverse character arcs in Hadestown, and how they fuel the tragedy of the ending, and I feel like I’m going to lose my goddamn mind.

Like, Eurydice starts the show cynical, but her belief that everyone will turn on her eventually just can’t hold up against the fact that Orpheus will literally go to hell and back for her. Meanwhile, Orpheus starts the show optimistic and a bit naive, and then gets all of that optimism ground out of him by being “beaten and betrayed and then… told that nothing changes.” He loses his ability to trust just as she gains hers, and that’s what makes it so very painful. Orpheus turns around because he’s started thinking like Eurydice, and Eurydice is surprised because she’s started thinking like Orpheus.

And, like… how am I supposed to cope with this?

The wasted potential of Ethan Nakamura is astronomical.

Percy and Ethan could have had one of the most interesting relationships in the entire story.

Loyalty and Balance.

Ethan is the one who would have made the most sense to Percy because while he was bitter too (still a kid with no cabin in camp), he would have had more reasons because of the lack of balance Olympian rule brought. I believe Percy would have heard him out but even then, even when he agreed, he was more loyal to camp( and because everything Kronos said was a lie).

I know Percy would have told him that they can bring balance without ending the world and they can forge a new path. Ethan would agree but his path would still be with the Titans and Percy's with the Olympians.

Can you imagine the confrontation on the Princess Andromeda? Luke is gone by that point. The only thing worth saving are the demigods on that ship.

Percy would blame Ethan for not evacuating even when they knew that they'd come and Ethan would blame Percy for straight up murdering them ( I have very complicated feelings on the matter, I feel like they just forget that happening in canon ) while still blaming themselves the most in their own mind. But they also accept it as a loss of war because they have to move on and make all of that worth something. They need to bring change or it would have been all been for nothing.

It would have made the accidental hit on Percy's Achilles heel so much more heartbreaking and important. It would have given so much weight to why and how Ethan refused to tell Kronos about where the weak spot is and Ethan's death one of the biggest losses for Percy in the war and consequently a reason for Percy's refusal to accept immortality.

I might just write a fic on this. It has so much potential especially when you consider that Ethan would have to fight with himself to strive for balance and not for vengeance considering that Percy killed a lot of his comrades (friends?).

U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping

I’m glad to have finished this before the end of May. This is a part 2 of this drawing I made a year or two ago.

To the best of their knowledge, Luke and Leia were some of the last merfolk in their kingdom’s water. As shifters of half-human descent, they could walk among the normal humans they were reared by.

Like their fallen brethren, they still experienced a call to the sea, despite the threat posed by the monster that stalked the shores.

I modified Vader’s helmet a bit to reflect a wolf skull. I was inspired by Zahn’s description, in the Original Thrawn Trilogy, that Vader’s helmet was based on Noghri skull structure. Those books are kind of a mess (affectionate), but filled with filled with a lot of interesting ideas.

I apologize to the people saw my original drawing and suggested a happy ending between Anakin and Padme in the AU. Unfortunately that’s not quite my brand. ^^;
