imagine thrawn stumbling back to his shuttle after the events of thrawn: alliances after having been shot several times and having to deal with the absolute mess of a mission he and anakin embarked on and che’ri just looks up from her coloring like “😊😊😊 is it time to go?” and he’s like *staring off into the distance* “i think humanity is a plague”

happy storyteller saturday! what are your favourite pieces of worldbuilding for the prophet story? also, how's my man cain doing? :3c
Hi! Happy STS yeah! Sunday starts with an S too.
Hmmm!!! I quite like. How there’s. No certain answers for parts of the world, actually?
So like. The gods have been [killed? Imprisoned?] in stone, and nobody is sure why for centuries. Then we find out the Blight did it to them, and insists they’re dead. But at the same time, it puts significant effort into tracking the statues down and smashing them. Why do that for things that are already dead you silly little infection!!!
And obviously, we have a prophet born and a hero made within the story, so the gods can’t truly be dead right now, their divinity is still being assigned!!!!
So I guess. The soft world building! There are answers. But not for everything.
(Mostly because the focus of the story is on the brothers, and neither of them hugely care for these answers).
Speaking of which!!! Cain is fine and dandy :)
See? Just peachy!

Last night, I was thinking about the twins and was able to put my finger on what was still bugging me about them.
Despite it making us feel old, the 90s IS history (hell, yesterday is history!). AG is saying it, but I’m not sure they… mean it?
From the hints of the girls’ stories I’ve seen so far, the only anchoring historical event seems to be y2k. Everything else is nice enough, but certainly not unique to the 90s, and could be given to a goty instead.
Honestly? Y2K is not enough. It’s a little too safe. Yes, it was a big deal to the people who lived through it. However, it was literally just New Years, but cooler (and with a lot of programming work in the background to change years to be stored as four digits). What are the lasting effects that kids can recognize today? Because I see very few that can’t just be chalked up to the passage of time.
There was a lot more to the 90s than fashion, pop culture, and the biggest new years ever, but it kinda seems like those are the only parts AG is interested in portraying. When you put y2k up against some of the other historical events that other American Girls live through, even just the ones from the 20th century, it seems pretty silly. Second wave feminism, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, and now….. new years but the number changes a bit more than usual!!!!!! Like. Cmon.
Even if they were wedded to portraying y2k, columbine, the effects of which are VERY much felt by kids today, happened that same year. But I kinda doubt AG will have the guts to even discuss it in the girl’s stories, which is really sad (and honestly one of the biggest downsides to more modern historical dolls - the history they’re covering is still too touchy for a lot of parents to be comfortable with).
Also, by pushing the girls to be in the late 90s, I’m betting AG is trying to worm their way out of having the 2000s girl live through 9/11 (i.e. watching it on tv) and the start of the war on terror. Which like. I get WHY (still too touchy for parents) but it’s really frustrating. 9/11 and it’s aftermath is arguably one of the most impactful events in American history, it’s stupid to dance around it. Felicity gets to live through the actual revolution but god forbid a more modern girl actually live through recent historical events.

re: jean and scott as two people seeking and having meticulous control. it’s worth noting that, like scott, jean largely seeks out precision and narrow focus when she is training her mutation. the huge, destructive, heavy stuff? she can do that easy. it’s careful reassembly, needlepoint, and focusing on one persons mind at a time that gives her trouble.
