other than obi wan and mace who are your favorite masters for anakin?

What a question to strike right at my tendency to go for Mace whenever Obi-Wan isn't available lmao

I think there's something really interesting in fics about Dooku not Falling, and since he's still a Jedi, taking over for Qui-Gon when it comes to Anakin, sort of in pursuit of making up for his failures with Komari, maybe? Also just sort of playing into "adopted by the grandparents after Dad dies" type of thing, for all that Anakin only knew Qui-Gon for a week or two. It also provides some really cool opportunities for Obi-Wan to stay involved and in contact with Anakin, while building bridges with someone who knew a completely different side of Qui-Gon than Obi-Wan himself did.

A similar argument would work for having Anakin taken in by Feemor.

I'm open to AUs where Anakin is taught by Plo or Kit, but I don't think they necessarily open up a wide range of opportunities that I would personally want to explore as a writer.

Adi Gallia, maybe? She stands out as a good, interesting option. She's very specifically a political Jedi, way more involved in the Senate than most. I think learning under her would put Anakin in a position to become much more versed in political structure and bureaucracy and logistics than with Obi-Wan, who was more generally a diplomat and negotiator (treaties) than a political expert (working within a system). It would put Anakin closer to Palpatine, in terms of place and duration, while also making him much harder to manipulate, and I think there's a lot of opportunity with that. (This could also be said of Dooku, probably.)

okay i know its not a current ask game but you posted before about an ice time travels wip and im sosososo curious 👀

It is now June, so I can answer this ask for you, Anon! I DO have an Ice Time Travels AU, though it's not top of my list of WIPs at the moment :DDDDD one big project at a time, I beg you.

Anyway, here are three sentences and the surrounding context for the 👀. I suppose I'll just generally speaking keep 'send me a 👀 and a title and I'll write you three sentences' open, it really DOES seem to get me writing (assuming I'm not in the middle of a little event 😉)

-

The truth is, Ice thinks he’s braced for it.

He is not.

Nick Bradshaw, alive and cheerfully self-confident where he sits only a row in front of Ice, feels like some sort of blow to the head, rattling Ice’s brain around hard enough he thinks he might hurl right here in the classroom.

Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a few months from 25, baby-faced with sharp, wary green eyes and a crooked, cocky grin, feels like someone reached straight into Ice’s chest and ripped out his heart.

Oh Mav, he thinks, fighting so fucking hard to keep a straight face as he stares at the back of the head of this barely-out-of-childhood version of one of his oldest, dearest friends. Look at you.

He can almost hear his Mav’s laugh, loud and rich. Gonna make me blush, Kazansky. Isn’t there a lecture you’re supposed to be paying attention to?

Ice closes his eyes and then tries to refocus on Jester. Or at least to make himself stop staring.

He thinks he’s pretty successful all told, until this younger Mav turns back to look at him, eyes narrowed with suspicion. Feeling eyes on him—that was something that Mav did as long as Ice had known him—so very aware of being perceived.

In hindsight, that may have been why he bought a hangar in the fucking desert.

You’re still staring, big shot, Ice’s inner Mav reminds him, and he mentally gives himself a shake, shoots a smirk at this young version of his dearest friend.

He gets a very huffy turned back in response, has to bite at the corner of his lip to stop himself letting the smirk become a real smile. Some things never change.

Asking simblr storytellers; Do you have OCs that you think would be friends with another storyteller’s OCs? **Feel free to spread the ask around, as I’m only sending to some stories I personally read!

Oooo how fun!

I think Edin and Adie would love to have adventures with @theplottdump ‘s ocs Sunny and Kāne. I feel like they would get into plenty of mischief together 😭✨💜

And then my Lilith Vatore and @thebramblewood’s Lilith Vatore would probably get into some hot girl trouble together 🦇

Also I’m pretty much sold that Olive and the beautiful Anika by @ruthplaysthesims would paint the town red together based on this concept 😍

[drinking-plum-juice]

what is a ship that lots of people like but you arent a fan of and why?

I think I’ve kinda gone over this, but a lot of homestuck ships. Specifically Jade & Dave and Jane and Jake. I think Dave and Karkat belong together and Dirk and Jake belong together, respectfully. I just think Jane is super toxic and Jade is very eccentric and very hyper. She’s nice and all but I don’t think she goes with Dave all that well. That’s my take on though.

Have you seen Brandon Skenlar's statement? People are basically saying he's defending Blake Lively by calling people's criticisms as "negativity" and "vilifying women". Are people not allowed to call out bad behavior by women? What are your thoughts on it?

Honestly, I didn't know Brandon Skenlar had put out a statement until I received this, but having read it, the content of it is very unsurprising. I think it's unfair, and slightly circular to say that the criticism that Blake is receiving is detracting from the film, when in fact it's actually Blake's approach to the press junket which is detracting from the film - and the criticism is literally about the themes of the film; but apart from that, I really don't have a lot of thoughts.

It does seem to sort of follow the formula of statements that come out from male celebrities, often in support of their white female costars. There's this very specific defence that white feminism uses, which is "oh you're just attacking / snubbing / dismissing her because she's a women" which feels like this kind of appropriation - because this is actually a thing that happens, but is very rarely happening when it's being used as a defence.

A recent example that comes to mind is Ryan Gosling's statement after the Oscars "snub" for Greta and Margot. Nevermind that America Ferrera did get nominated, or that Margot and Greta were both nominees, just in different categories - it became this "feminist" issue that they hadn't been nominated. I put "feminism" in quotes because it's not really a feminist issue, it's a white feminist issue.

Another really good example is a lot of the critique that Taylor Swift gets, and how every response to that is just "oh you just hate her because she's the biggest popstar." Like very "oh it's just because she's a woman", when her gender has little to do with the critiques being levied at her.

Blake isn't being attacked because she's a woman, and the critique isn't intended to be "making women the bad guy"; but representing it as anti-feminist critique means that nobody has to actually engage with the critique itself, because now it's an ideological issue. And I', sure Brandon knew what he was doing when he framed it like this - because otherwise he would've had to address the fact that he's been on this press junket just like everybody else, and has been going along with whatever rom-com ruse has been happening; and chose now to address that the themes of this film.

I have no doubt that everybody in the cast and crew cares about domestic violence, but the critique was never about that, it was about how literally nobody (except Justin) seemed to be addressing these themes on the press junket, and were treating the film like a rom com.

why Was 70's design so fucking good btw? like no other era was That good with its design.

like specifically the design you think of when you think "70's," like the mustards and oranges and browns in fun geometric or complex patterns, the unique ways form was used in so many designs, even the fashion had really interesting silhouettes.

like it already used my favourite colours a Lot, but on top of that, it also just had a lot of interesting, novel ideas and it's just, idk man.

also like 70's was the disco era and disco fucking rules. and like funk was still huge too and gd i fucking love funk.

like idk man it was just an impeccable era aesthetic. literally my absolute fav.

Odyssey AU: what if… Telemachus was late?

It’s not angst I promise!

But this idea has been bouncing around in my head for while and i figured that now that i have tumblr ha finally have place to share it. Enjoy!

In this AU, the majority still happens.

Odysseus still takes 10 years at sea to get home after losing his entire crew, still gets disguised as a beggar, his old nurse still recognizes him and aids him before he goes up to the castle and sees Penelope, you know how it goes.

But, in this version, when Athena tells Telemachus that he should head home, something delays him.

Maybe the king he was talking to was being too hospitable. Maybe Poseidon was still salty with Odysseus and made him take longer. Either way doesn't matter, just know he takes a while longer then normal. But even without Telemachus, Odysseus still beats the suitors and kills them. But what happens next…. :

A servant comes and gets Penelope, who after talking to this 'mysterious beggar,' locked herself away in her room. "Come quickly your highness, someone has defeated all the suitors, they are all dead!'

Penelope rushed out to the main courtyard. (Athena chooses this moment to take off Odysseus beggar disguise. Maybe Aphrodite had something to do with that) Penelope couldn't believe it.

"Odysseus... it's really you..?” She had been suspicious that he was almost home but, she still couldn't believe her eyes. 20 years had done a lot, but it was still clearly him.

When he heard his name Odysseus turned around. It was her. After all this time. He made it. Relief washed over him. "Penelope..”

The couple ran into each others arms. Odysseus spun Penelope around. They both forgot that the rest of the world existed. They look into each others eyes. Odysseus caressed him thumb against her cheek. Penelope moved a strand of hair out of his face. They slowly leaned in until they closed the gap between them. They have been waiting for this moment for 20 years, and they would be damned if anything was going to ruin it.

Meanwhile, Telemachus finally made it home. He walked up to the castle…

Something was wrong. Different. It was quiet. Too quiet. “Where are the suitors?” Telemachus asked the guards.

“We heard quite a lot of fighting inside the courtyard.” Telemachus looked shocked. The guard tried to defend himself. “ we don’t move from our posts out here unless we are called. Our jobs are to look out-“ Telemachus didn’t let him finish his explaination. He ran inside.

Where’s mom?! What if she’s hurt? What if the suitors got fed up with waiting? What if-

Telemachus was thrown off by the shear amount of bodies scattered through the hallways. He didnt care that the suitors are dead, but who did this? And where was mom?

Perspective is a funny thing. When Telemachus enters the courtyard, he couldn’t she his mothers expression. He didn’t see the happy reunion that had just occured. He didn’t see that this man holding his mom wasn’t hurting her. All he saw was that this- this STRANGER was touching his mom. Enough was enough. Telemachus was done letting these suitors walk all over him.

It all happened so fast. In the matter of seconds Telemachus ripped his dad this stranger off of Penelope and pinned him to the ground. Telemachus pulled out his dagger and held him at knife point. “Get away from her.” He growled.

Odysseus was a bit more than peeved. After 20 years of blood and tears shed to get to this moment, being interrupted and held back by the gods themselves was getting REALLY old. “Excuse who are you to-“

“I am Telemachus, son of Penelope, heir to the Ithacan throne, I demand to know WHO you are before I slit your throat for trespassing.”

Penelope snapped out of her state of shock. “Telemachus wait there’s a-“ Odysseus signals her to stop. Penelope looks at her husband quizzically. Ody softened upon realizing who this boy was. (Boy is a loose term, hes roughly like 20-)

“I am Odysseus, husband to Penelope, the reigning king of Ithaca… and your father.” Telemachus is taken aback. “Hi, son.”

Telemachus looks to his mother for reassurance. Her warm, geneuine smile was all he needed. He got up and put his dagger away before helping Odysseus up. “Wow.. you’ve gotten so big.” The mans pride swelled. This was his son. That baby he had left all those years ago was now standing before him, all grown up.

“Yeah…I- uh…I’ve heard a lot about you…” Telemachus big and scary fasad crumbled as soon as he realized. This was his dad. The legend he’s been learning about for so long. The man his mother has been waiting for all this time.

“All good things I hope.” They both chuckle. The two lock eyes before Telemachus embraces him.

Penelopes eyes get misty, and Odysseus opens his arms so she can run in and join the group hug. “My boys.”

“Together at last. And I wont let anybody take that away again.”
