The Jedi Order mainly being an institution about teaching makes me sad that we never see more "Jedi classes" outside of the popular ones like martial arts, healthcare and Force wackery.

Alongside basic language and science education etc there have to be at least some trade and college courses on offer, right? The Jedi need a bunch of their own people with law degrees. Proper pedagogy studies for future crèchemasters. Cooks. Managers. All types of engineers. Electricians. Accountants. Researchers. How many Jedi hold a doctorate or professorate? Because I think a large number of them do. Their databanks are filled with millennia of dissertations. You can still find Yoda's articles from 500 years ago and cite them in your history research paper.

The Order just having its own micro-economy going on and every member getting their own regular job education next to all the lightsaber swinging adventures... pls

Ok but in a Shen brothers au, there's simply no way Shen Jiu would've been normal about Shen Yuan. ( In these aus I'd rather keep SY a transmigrator, or else he'd be subjected to the Airplane logic and laws of the world from the beginning, and that would've changed him in ways my tiny brain cannot be bothered to conceive rn. Also, I love the existential horror brought upon by The System. But that's beside the point.)

Shen Twins au? This is the au in which SJ is the less normal I think. He would've been obsessed with SY, would see him as a half of himself. Would think they're not a full person unless together. He'd envy Shen Yuan's kindness, he'd resent everything that made them different and relish them at the same time. He'd protect SY and would hate him in the way he hated himself. Would be possessive of SY in the way you're of your own body. Would be willing to share YQY, he'd share everything with him and feel offended if SY wanted to keep things separate. SY falling for LBH would cause him a mental breakdown and might never forgive SY.

Older brother SJ? Over protective, violent in a way animals are when teaching their young— casually but not really harmful. Picture a kitten biting a slightly smaller kitten's ear for being annoying. He'd be envious of SY getting better treatment for being younger, but would despise anyone who treated SJ better than SY. Thinks SY owes him love, and would be constantly afraid of losing said love. Possessive of SY in the way you're of your things. Unwilling to share YQY with SY, and of sharing SY with YQY. Would try to kill LBH for coveting SY and would see SY marrying LBH as the most stupid idea ever and WOULD get in the way. Would still talk to SY after the wedding, but only if he comes alone.

Younger brother SJ? the most normal of the three scenarios. Obviously possessive of SY, but in the way children are of their parents. Jealous of everybody who talks to SY, and would only feel safe with him. Willingly shares SY with YQY. Would be absolutely disgusted by SY falling for LBH. And would react like a well intentioned but very homophobic parent; cordial to SY, but would not aknowledge LBH's presence and would forbid PDA in Qing Jin Peak

Eddie woke up to water being thrown on his face. He gasped for air and spat out what had gone inside his mouth, then opened his eyes, moving frantically, but he couldn’t see. Blindfolded.

“Stay put, Voider,” ordered a man in a rough voice.

Eddie’s senses were heightened. He struggled against the restrains on his hands and feet, but the knots were tight. Camp of Voiders, he thought.

The man moved around the room, his steps resonating against the walls. This couldn’t be on the surface. He was underground. Somewhere underground.

Buck.

“Where is he?” Eddie asked, trying to force his wrists apart. “Where is he!”

AND REMEMBER HOW YOU COULDN'T SAY THIS IN 2016 WITHOUT GETTING CALLED CLASSIST ASLDFJASLDFD AND IT WAS 2 0 1 6 OF ALL YEARS

[bumblingbabooshka]

Janeway doesn't need a therapist when she gets back to the alpha quadrant she just needs Tuvok to tell her [in detail] the psychological observations he's made about her over the past 11 years and she can go from there <- Untrue but much more likely for her to agree to

hey im back again barely a few days later and like.... okay so Astarion is Fucked Up™. But also, to be further Fucked Up (depending on whether you want this to be official canon or just leave it as old content Larian left out) Astarion was a fucking MAGISTRATE of Baldur's Gate pre-vampirism?

Depending on how you want to interpret this, that can mean a number of things. One: He was the equivalent of a sitting judge in Baldur's Gate courts. Astarion was an elf of 39 WITH THE POLITICAL AND JUDICIAL HEFT OF THE CITY AT HIS NIMBLE FINGERTIPS. Two: He was the equivalent of a prosecutor in Baldur's Gate courts. That means he was 39 and a goddamn lawyer. Three: He was the equivalent of a specialized judge, a "judge of inquiry." Four: He was a state/city-appointed official that handled population information, public registers, and acted as a public notary.

Either way, it's hard to listen to this possible-backstory of his life pre-turning and not go "Cazador..... You are a disgusting piece of shit. Absolutely vile. But also..... you turned a perfectly smart and possibly very able-bodied city official with political power into a goddamn enslaved prostitute? Other than the fact you are clearly a sick son of a bitch, you are also an fucking moron for letting that kind of talent rot."

I mean, Astarion as you meet him is not stupid. He's honestly worryingly smart and perceptive (generally, if the dice rolls are kind), and his ability to hoodwink people into thinking he's just some shallow vapid bloodsucker is quite the intricate little disguise. It's been his defense mechanism for over 200 years, but it might also hint at the fact he's generally quite good at running verbal circles around people. It deeply upsets me to think this elf had a very impressive career for an elf of 39 (not even out of immaturity by elven standards! Not even 100! He still had his elf baby name!) and was debased so fucking horribly. And sure, there's some other content attached to this possible-backstory. Hints that he was a "morally-questionable" magistrate, willing to take bribes or look the other way in some cases. But that doesn't mean he didn't have to learn ALL OF THE LAW required to have his city-appointed station, ALL OF THE EDUCATION. The man had to have been from a reasonably reputable background to even afford that kind of education. Higher class, certainly. The way he speaks is enough of an indication.

Idk i'm ranting. Lowkey more reasons to slaughter Cazador; fucker ruined the life of a goddamn Magistrate elf who was insanely young to have such a high position in city government. (if you vibe with that discarded canon. I personally think it fits him well and just lump it in anyway)

[ardourie]

are you struggling with the meaning of the word "currently", or are you saying that chattel slavery and jim crow still exist? do you believe in linear time?

aaaand u have just told on ur self regarding how u think america works, ladies and gentlemen, we got em

[dykelawlight]

I've said before that I don't believe Mikami has a driver's license because he has no need for one in any of the places we know he's lived but I think it would be funny if he had to get one for Kira reasons and Gevanni had to watch the entire process. He's like [into a wire] uh yeah I'm at the prefectural licensing office rn? He got into a car and drove into a restricted area where I couldn't tail him and now he's back. He looks uh...really defeated? Is it cool if I ask him if he wants to go for a drink or something

just think this time tomorrow ill be publicly indecent in a spoons somewhere. i am so strong

You know who Tommy reminds me of that it was bothering me sm that I couldn’t place it but then I remembered this scene?

Rick from Casablanca

Like Tommy says this to chimney verbatim in that one scene

He calls buck (his love interest) “kid” just like Rick does to Ilsa (his love interest)

Even personality wise something about it fits like the cool guy exterior, the struggle to be good,the sort of air of unphased energy if you get what I mean, etc

Anyways that got me thinking and if the bucktommy break up is something bittersweet like Rick and Ilsa then I would love it:

HE EVEN DOES THE MOTHERFUCKING CHIN GRAB^^^^

Like imagine this if buddie does go canon instead of Rick letting Ilsa go for the greater good of the world/politics

the only thing thats been bouncing around in my head the past week is that phoenix and miles's pillow talk in the year 2027 consists of simon blackquill and the UR-1 incident
