for ur consideration: disaster lineage but they're all sith except for obi-wan so they keep trying to get him to join them

Sith!Dooku, Qui-gon, Anakin and Ahsoka keep saying “the Jedi Order is a mess you’re all liars and we’re going to destroy all of you!!!! …Except for Obi-wan, he’s amazing and we will do anything to have him”

I was just thinking, but... one of my favorite lines from the Jedi Code is "There is no ignorance, there is knowledge." For me, I interpret that as something along the lines of... know what you know, know what you don't know, and know how to learn what you don't know. Other corollaries include being willing to learn new things, etc. (Or possibly, and this is important, not being in denial. That also ties in with "there is no chaos, there is harmony.")

Because maybe this is just me, but emotional repression (or ignoring things/denial/pretending something doesn't exist) sounds a lot like deliberate ignorance. Or, even if it's not, it seems pretty discordant, mentally.

(Further point: I do think it's possible for someone to be very self-aware, but also be terrible at communicating things. Or bad at explaining things.)

The Jedi “Code” (Mantra) gets a lot of flak in fandom because it’s often taken literally, but some of the things that makes it really interesting to me are how it’s primarily used in the (supplementary) source material:It’s almost always used as a mantra to help calm the person down so they can think more clearly or connect to the Force without their own thoughts screaming in their head. This is really important, as the Force works based on your mindset, you have to be mentally/emotionally centered if you’re going to stay centered in the Force.Further, the Jedi teach both, “There is no ignorance, there is knowledge” and “ignorance, yet knowledge”, we’ve seen the prequels Jedi Order teaching both meditation mantras to their younglings, which means we’re meant to take both of them into consideration for what the Jedi are trying to say with them.Even further to that, I love it because it fits the Jedi’s style of teaching–what seems frustratingly riddlesome and paradoxical is meant to teach you to think things through, to puzzle it out for yourself, to learn how to learn, rather than just having the answers drilled into you.And I will also die on the hill that the mantra is about the Force itself rather than a way of life.There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force.You know what that describes? What you get when you connect to the Force free of your own screaming thoughts.The Force is peace. The Force is knowledge. The Force is serenity. The Force is harmony. The Force is eternal.This ties into what you’re saying as well–the Jedi look to the Force to help them understand a little bit of the nature of the galaxy, of this giant cosmic energy field that they’ll never fully comprehend, but try to move in synch with, try to go with its eddies and flow.To understand that there are things they don’t know, they look to the Force. Maybe they’ll find answers there, maybe they won’t. Because the Force cannot be fully known by a mortal mind, but it is still their guiding light, it is where they turn to for knowledge, for serenity, for peace, for harmony, it’s where they go after death of their crude matter.

It feels impossible sometimes to talk about your experiences as an asexual person without getting lumped in with purity culture because it’s somehow simultaneously true that society hates sex and puts sex everywhere so both people who want to express their sexuality and people who don’t want to participate in it end up having knee-jerk reactions to each other because we’ve all built up defense mechanisms ready to trigger at a moments notice so you try to talk about how sex and romance is everywhere and inescapable and you don’t wanna be involved with it and then people blame you for the kink at pride discourse when you weren’t even thinking about that

I still want to write the fic where an outsider has all these preconceptions about what the Force is and then goes into a room with a bunch of Jedi who are tearing into each other like bitchy old academics.

“Ooh, look at Master Structuralist over here with his ever-so-deep ‘everything is attachment actually’ reading”

“I don’t want to hear that from someone who calls every new opinion ‘new depths of their relationship with the Force’”

“The Jedi Order is a social construct–”

“Could you stuff the po-mo and pick up a book once in a while? These aren’t new ideas! You are not a pioneer because you asked one question!”

“I think you could all benefit on more reflection on how our rooting in the Force is actually deeply sexual–”

“If I have to hear one more word about lightsabers being penis envy you are going to be one with the Force immediately.”

The Clone Wars arcs that I would write if I were a showrunner and Disney were smart:

The lead general dies early on in a mission, the commander is injured and incapacitated, and the clones are now tasked with planning and properly executing a battle plan with little cohesion or unity in thought

The republic has succesfully seized half a planet and is moving on to the other half. A squad of clones gets separated from the main battalion and is forced to face the results of endless war when they come face to face with civilians who do no like or appreciate the Republic and barely respect the clones

A clone commander contemplates desertion. 

Half a squad of clone deserters avoid capture by their brothers but are eventually forced to confront their former families and come to terms with their decision. 

(subplot) A clone has romantic feelings for the first time and has absolutely no idea how to handle them. even better if the romantic feelings are for a Jedi CO

(standalone) barhopping

A Jedi and a squad of clones are captured and imprisoned within a separatist testing facility. The jedi goes to work freeing every last one of her men and very nearly sacrificing her Jedi morals for the dark side/attachment when she abandons the emergency transport that arrives to go save her commander (they all do make it out)

A peak into clone culture: a rift forms in a company when two members of a squad disown one another and everyone starts taking sides

(subplot) some troopers are clearly mentally ill and in need of serious help, but the medic (the only one aware of mental illness in any capacity) is helpless to do anything because of the stigma surrounding appearing “weak” in that way

Two battalions switch generals after a mix up during a battle. Battalion A gets Jedi B, who has to learn to leave behind their stiff and detached battle style/personality in order to gain the trust of their new men. Battalion B gets Jedi A, who has to learn to act like a “normal Jedi” and apply some more careful thought to how they interact so they can stop freaking out the men and gain a deeper respect from them.

A couple of clones accidentally witness a deal gone wrong, lose all their communication devices, and have to find a way back to the surface so they can report the crime without being killed by the gang hunting them through the underworld. 

Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex have to attend a formal gala and mingle with the upper echelons of Coruscanti Society at the request of the Chancellor. Anakin inflates battle stories to appear cool. Ahsoka gets patronized. Rex experiences a microaggression. Someone tries to kidnap a senator.

hi! this is my small, gentle reminder that you don’t have to be like other people. I know the best parts of other people are beautiful and exciting and just so cool, but you don’t need to be everything. it’s okay not to be as good at watercolor as your sister or not give good advice like your mom does and it’s okay to love qualities in other people. sometimes other people’s words or their idiosyncrasies or the way they part their hair is so wonderful that you want to join, you want to feel the way about yourself, about the not-as-great parts of yourself that you do about the best parts of them. and it’s okay if you start listening to The Killers because it’s your brother’s favorite band or if you decide you want to get red converse like the ones your best friend has. but it’s okay if you can’t “keep up” with their grades or will never be able to do eyeliner as well as they can or maybe it seems like they just love life more than you do. I just want you to know that there are unattainable parts of you too. you can like things about other people that you don’t have, and you don’t have to give a compliment thinking god I wish I was like that. you don’t have to be like that. it’s okay to just be the things you are. you don’t have to be everything.

If you are ever sad please remember that the material component of the Warding Bond spell is a pair of matching rings that the two subjects of the bond both have to wear for the spells duration and imagine that any time any of The Bad Kids cast that spell they’re wearing friendship bracelets instead
