You want to physically feel your emotions-chemicals firing off in every direction at once? You want peak surreal time travel vibes? If you're coming back to visit a place you lived a long time ago, and you would like to set yourself up for the weirdest version of that experience; may I recommend being sleep deprived, coming into town after dark after spending six hours in a car, and going straight to the grocery store you used to shop at? That'll Do Things to you.

Me: oh Great, I finally found a place to do my piercings. Let's look at their site; Yelp had good reviews but always check their personal website-

Website of the Tattoo/Piercing Place:

Me: Well that is a GREAT sign.

Pics from a recent used bookstore expedition + my lil buddy who i miss dearly (he is now comfy at home with his owner who is back from their trip).

Started my pediatric Infectious Disease rotation this week and I am enjoying myself immensely so far. I'm already learning a lot and seeing very interesting pathology. Plus, it's a treat to wake up after 5 am, and I don't have to work weekends, either.

Thoughts on the Ahsoka trailer:

It looks good! I’m excited. The new Fallen Jedi look really cool, and I’m very curious to see what they’re up to and how they’ll tie in to the story. It’s great to see the Rebels crew back in action, and it looks like they’ll be doing the full Rebels epilogue in live action, which is exciting!

Also, SHORT-HAIRED SABINE!! I was so excited to see her short hair in the Rebels epilogue, and I’m so glad they’re keeping it - there are so very, very few short-haired women on screen, it’s genuinely exciting to see a main character with short hair.

I don’t think she’s going to be Force Sensitive - honestly, the shot of her “using the Force” was brief enough it could be one of several other gestures, cut together with the Darksider to look like a Force attempt. I think she’d been training with Ahsoka to use Ezra’s lightsaber and pay homage to him and learn more about the Jedi to honor their culture. Remember, this is also a Mandalorian Sabine who’s now seen the fall of Mandalore - I can see her clinging to Jedi traditions as a way to keep them alive, now that she’s seen her own culture be destroyed like theirs was.

I’m honestly excited just to see what direction they go with the plot - I can see many ways this could develop, most of which would be really, really cool in one way or another. I’m very excited for Thrawn, and to see him in live action!

(this got... long)

I don’t think we’ll get much of Thrawn in season 1 - it looks to be focused on the Fallen Jedi, so I expect they’ll be the big bad of season 1 and we’ll get Thrawn in season 2 and onwards. We have been promised a twist, so I’m very curious to see if the Grysk will be brought in as a secret big bad. I think that would be neat, and could be a great twist after setting up Thrawn as the big bad in season 1 and maybe 2.

I do think Lars will do amazing as Thrawn - he’s a fantastic actor with experience with the character, and for anyone whining that he doesn’t look like the book covers, 1) No? Those are drawings? This is a real person? and 2) Yes? This is at least 10 years post-Treason, 30 years post-Ascendancy. Characters get older? And they’re still badass?

I’m also very curious what Ezra’s been up to. I wonder if he’s still a Jedi - 10 years stuck with Thrawn, he could very well have Fallen. Now that could be a twist! Heck, he could be dead. With Sabine left chasing a ghost... Not sure Filoni would try and pull that, but it would sure be a twist!

The less good: The costuming is a bit lazy. It’s pretty good considering Disney is getting quite lazy with their costuming, but it’s definitely not as good as it could be - more in range with, honestly, the rest of the Star Wars stuff coming out these days. I do wish Thrawn was a bit darker blue, and had the luster from the book covers, but I imagine that’s tricky in makeup. Still, it’s not bad!

The we’ll see how it goes: Thrawn is almost definitely going to be a villain, and will probably be killed during the course of the show. I don’t think that’s a bad thing - I know a lot of people cling to his book characterization, but I see the books -> Rebels -> HTTE series as the slide of a well-meaning person into fascism. As much as we’d all love to see him go back to the Ascendancy and defeat the Grysk, it’s equally in character for him to cling to his mission with the Empire as the “only way” to achieve victory (consider the sunk-cost fallacy, and tell me that doesn’t fit Thrawn to a T). He’s stubborn, he’s ruthless, and he believes in a strong military and the efficiency of a dictatorship - and the New Republic is a threat to all of that, and a threat to his goal of building the biggest military ever to defend the galaxy from the Grysk (and anyone else who might challenge him...).

There’s many ways it could be done well - acknowledging the complexity of his character and goals and making his darker actions a product of that - and ways it could be done less satisfyingly. I’m hopeful, and I’m excited to see what comes of it!

And, well, there’s always fanfiction.

Ok but if Bells Hells get a cartoon going to Whitestone is gonna be so confusing for the people who don't know why everyone sounds the same

So I'm gonna write what's hopefully a quick ~10k fic that's cute and fun, and then I want to write a season 8 multi-chapter fic that's Dean/Cas/Meg. Which should be fun. Because the dynamic, as i understand it, of who had what kind of handle on their feelings was *quite* different in s8 compared to what I typically write. Imo s8 Dean has everything closer to the surface, and Cas hasn’t yet realized that him and Dean aren't just good friends. Compared to my typical 7-layers of repression Dean and hopelessly in love Cas.

@thelukester92 As I mentioned in my session impressions, I did the front end of the conversation I hope to have with Carcis next session in a Google doc for you. But I know you have a bunch to read and prep already! So don't worry about it if you don't get to it! Or if you do get to it, don't worry about commenting on it for now! Whatever happens, we'll make it work, and revision is *always* an option.

[very-uncorrect]

I bet when chapter 3 comes out we'll look back at the scene at the end of Chapter 2 of the TV smiling and be like "haha I can't believe we were afraid of that when it ended up being the funniest character so far" or some shit
