#That Space Between The Lines

That Space Between The Lines

Find that space between the lines It doesn’t mean compromise There a vast world will arise Promise ties Divided by all the lies The space between lines A forest of many trees That could not be broken by a breeze Tall trees Reaching to the sky From the oceans to the seas With so many leaves That space between the puzzle pieces We can put it together and make peace When we find that Space Between the lines.

Ghost gives you a bracelet with a skull charm for your birthday. This cute little woven bracelet with a tiny, clearly handmade charm on it. The gift is so thoughtful you almost cried on the spot. Ghost thought he did something wrong or that you didn't like it when he saw you tearing up.

When you asked him to put it on for you, he teared up a little. He's not really a man who gives gifts as he never had anyone to give them to, so seeing you love his gift made him so happy. He gladly put it on for you, tightening it around your wrist so that it'd never fall off.

He lifted your hand up and kissed your wrist through his mask just for good luck, getting a little flustered under his mask as he did so. He's a sweetheart under his gruff exterior.

Lowkey annoyed and amused by all the people in the Dune tag saying they didn't like Dune 2 because it made adaptational changes but they don't even elaborate on why the changes are bad, or are open to any of them as improvements, just that they don't like that they changed things.

Like this isn't about people who are actually giving it thought and are looking at the film with a critical lens. It's just a baffling number of people expecting a 1 to 1 recreation and saying that the movie was terrible because Denis had the nerve to not make every single Fremen character uncritically suck Paul's dick the whole film

god i wish they hadn't retconned maul's death. i get wanting to explore more of his character because he was, objectively, one of the coolest star wars characters to ever hit the big screen and didn't get much screentime prior to his death, but also his role was fulfilled perfectly within those constraints so i wasn't too upset by it.

but by retconning it and making it so he never died it's like. okay. what now? the whole point (well, to me, ymmv of course) of the theed generator fight was that it was the first ever fight between the jedi and the sith in thousands of years, and that in the end even though the jedi (obi-wan) won the fight, a jedi (qui-gon) and a sith (maul) still died. a master and an apprentice dying together to herald the start of a new age/the return of the sith. perfectly paralleling the way in rotj a master (palps) and an apprentice (anakin/vader) died together to herald the return of the jedi. in both instances, a father figure (qui-gon/vader) dies in the arms of their son (obi-wan/luke) as a sith (palps/maul) is cast down into the abyss to their deaths. (palps being alive in the ST and retconning his death in rotj is also annoying for this reason)

i mean i like maul. don't get me wrong. he's an incredibly compelling character and i enjoy seeing more of him... but there's always the thought hovering in my mind like "he should be dead though. he should 100% be dead. this wouldn't be happening if he was dead, but i honestly would rather it not if it meant that maul was dead."

like the tpm fight just doesn't hit the same knowing that canonically he's just. going to become a robot octopus at some point. (shoutout to palps becoming sith glados in the ST) it cheapens the moment for me. it was supposed to be a moment of triumph marred by the deep and soul-crushing loss of a loved one and it's just... not, anymore. or at least not to the same extent. AUGH i'm just. frustrated. wish star wars as a whole wasn't constantly reframing/retconning what's been established. just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm obsessed with how story structure is learning what not to put on the page. How you can tell the same story through a hundred different lenses, and the lens you choose decides which things get focus and which things are left blurry. How the story is defined by what you choose to show and thus also by the negative space left by the pieces you cut away. How "show, don't tell" really means you have to choose what to show and then tell the rest, and how you have to leave space for the reader's imagination to fill in all the detail and layers that you can't fit within the limitations of black-and-white print. How minimizing certain aspects of writing isn't necessarily a failure of craft but a triumph of it, because choosing what things the story doesn't need is as important as knowing what it does.

So, Halloween is getting closer, and I thought it'd be fun to talk about what I think the gang would dress up as for Halloween

*when I say football I mean American football lol

Hiccup: I feel like he'd have a pretty simple, low effort costume, but he'd rock it. I'm leaning towards something like a super basic vampire costume. Dress shirt, nice pants/shoes, little cape, plastic vampire fangs, etc. But like, and I cannot stress this enough, he looks. so. good.

Astrid: Similar chill vibes as Hiccup, and I think she'd also go for something classic like a witch. But she kinda does it in her own style if that makes sense, short skirt, tights, boots, etc etc. (Also a witch hat and a broom bc duh). Bc this is a modern au, she steals Toothless from Hiccup (bc he's a black cat) and they're inseperable

Snotlout: The first thing my mind goes to is a football* player? Sports jersey, athletic shoes (wtv football players wear lol). I'm kinda between that or like a really slutty pirate vibe.

Fishlegs: He does those costumes that are like, puns or like, plays on words. Like like, when people dress up as a cookie and wear a pair of glasses and then they're a 'smart cookie' or wtv? Yeah, that's Fishlegs. He also gives bee vibes idk. Striped shirt, headband w antennae, wings, the works.

Ruff & Tuff: Definetly do coordinated costumes. I like the idea of them dressing up as Frankenstein (Ruff) and Frankensteins monster (Tuff). They go ALL OUT every year, never dress up as the same thing twice, oftentimes have multiple costumes in the day (and wear them before and after Halloween bc what else are they supposed to do lol). They probably make the costumes themselves. They totally dress up as clowns sometimes. (I redact my previous statement that they never wear the same thing twice; they DEFINETLY have costumes that they came up with specifically to freak certain people (Snotlout and Fishlegs mostly) out, which they can be counted on to wear at LEAST once a year)

It still makes me happy that the Bugsnax physical game manual scans still circulates on a regular basis on here. Preservation means a lot to me, and I'm happy I could provide a piece of media that can be accessed and viewed.

Also makes me happy that it's also being added to the new wiki that's still worked on right now! The more widely accessible it is besides my Tumblr posts and Google drives, the better!

green thirteen

i’ll be buried in my bedroom, filled with moss and torn by time. i flagged it with a grave marker back when i turned thirteen, and was sentenced to a social death because i was unclean; a large, unsightly thing. drown me in the reservoir. lay my weary bones to rest and leave me well alone or else, laugh at me in death when my ears can hear no more, or, at least, i can’t be told. after all, i’m stagnant water  with a film of ugly algae; sitting mildew since thirteen. i don’t want to be to blame for once. leave my bones to dust here until the end of time. no one will visit my deathbed and mutter amongst themselves “how on earth did they bury them up on the second floor?” and outside the window, the sky will be blue, and the grass freshly cut and crisp green.

Ahsoka season 2 brainstorming: practical and impractical ways to get the girls* back from Peridea

*Ahsoka, Sabine, AND Shin. (...and David Tennant, the Howler wolf, and the turtles)

(1) just use the force (somehow)

step 1: use the force

steps 2~10: ???

step 11: profit girls are home yay

(2) purrgil wearing a hyperspace-ring backpack

(Behold my astonishing drawing skills. You're astonished right.)

Since the purrgil migratory route from Seatos to Peridea only seems to go one way (because the whales go there to die), they'd have to build a mini Eye of Sion so they can all get back after Ezra hitches a ride there. Purrgil know the way to Peridia; Ezra knows the coordinates of home already.

(Will Thrawn be staking out Seatos to try to prevent this? Yes. Will that make it funnier when Ezra does it anyway and gets away with it? Most definitely 👍👍)

(3) use the "somehow, Palpatine returned" method

The audience:

(Mate, Disney did it first. This is now an in-canon way to Solve Problems.)

(4) Mortis Gods temple ruins on Lothal=secret yet convenient portal

Ezra "the force is all I need" Bridger will use his amazing Space Jesus powers and *insert additional justifications relating to loth-wolves, world-between-worlds, Lothal magic, Morai etc*, Ezra will open the portal on one side and the girls, working as a team in a way that will make us all cry, will open from the other side

(additionally, because we are not crying enough yet, there will be a cameo from Kanan!loth-wolf/DumeWolf. You're welcome)

(additionally additionally, the deal Ahsoka made with the Mortis Gods to make this possible means she will now die to repay the debt. Because the writers really want us to cry. A lot.)

...okay everyone YOUR TURN add on your most practical and impractical ideas
