Shoji dismantling systemic discrimination in rural areas so no one has to face what he faced in his childhood…Ochaco implementing quirk counseling in elementary schools so no one has to suffer the way Toga suffered…Izuku becoming a teacher at UA and encouraging students who have been put down all their lives…
Woke up to Owen Lars thoughts. Specifically re: C-3PO.
Our guy Owen has avoided owning a droid for 20+ years because they remind him of Shmi. He’s had to deal with the Jawas the whole time and knows it would go a hell of a lot better with a translator, but every time he thinks about getting a protocol droid he thinks about Shmi. About how she doted on that insufferably annoying droid because it was her last connection to her son. And he decides he can go another year relying on gestures and paying more than the parts he’s getting are worth.
But now he only has Luke’s help for one more harvest and he’s not getting any younger - his joints ache more and more with each sandstorm - and he decides it’s time to face his ghosts. He can’t avoid reminders of the past forever. He sends Luke for some droids.
And the boy comes back with C3P0
The droid doesn’t look the same - he’s been treated to some upgrades over the years and some fancy gold plating they couldn’t have afforded to give him - but he gives his designation and it’s not just a similar robotic voice dragging up memories that both haunt Owen and remind him of better times. But it’s him, without a doubt. C-3PO human cyborg relations. Shmi’s most prized possession. Returned back to her home and final resting place, back to the last piece of her son.
To Luke.
And when the stormtroopers break down the door and pour in, he has a moment of pure relief that Luke isn’t home. That this time it won’t be a Skywalker’s body found broken in the desert.
He should have known. An R2 unit had rolled up and interrupted Shmi’s humble funeral and Anakin had swept away to whatever dangers waited for him in the stars. He’d brought the two droids with him and the Lars were left to mourn and heal and carry on under the harsh suns. They looked after themselves and weathered the heat and the sand like everything else that was born, and fated to die, in the desert.
But not Luke. Luke wasn’t born on Tatooine, even though the boy has the desert in his blood. Owen sees the same relief written in Beru’s eyes as he takes her hand. Luke isn’t going to die here.
He has the stars in his blood too.
Owen just hopes the boy will meet a better end than his father. That his story won’t end so soon.
you think you are fine and normal until Andrew Robinson and Alexander Siddig write a coded 60-page 2-man performance so they could play beloved characters from a completed tv show, normal until they perform it across the country at conventions for fans throughout the 1990s, which they refused to film, wherein one character repeatedly yells “I LOVE YOU” at another
not as a punishment though !! but as somewhere i feel safe and protected from the mean world outside !!
y’know,, coming home from a stressful day at work and my dom just kisses me on the forehead and tells me to get in my cage !! already falling completely into puppy space
maybe being put in my cage when we need more groceries and my dom doesn’t want me getting into mischief while they’re gone !!
fluffy dog bed and blanket inside the cage and all my doggy toys !!! maybe even a dildo or a vibe in the cage too in case i get needy (in a matching colour to my blanket and doggy bed obviously) 😵💫
walking in to the bedroom to find me fast asleep in my cage, completely fucked out and cockwarming the dildo in my cage, waking me up to run me a bath and give me the aftercare i need for being a brave pup who got himself off all alone!!
Okay now I’ve definitely decided Mobius is a single Dad and Loki will adopt his child/children and they’ll reunite with post Love and Thunder Thor and Love will have a cousin or cousins to play with and Thor will be all Chris Hemsworth level parenting about it, like so,
Meanwhile Loki will be the most over anxious, worrisome, overprotective parent imaginable and Mobius will tell him to relax, they’ll be fine and and and….yup I’ve made myself cry
