So, let’s talk about Palpatine

oh, I hate him. 

But I love him. 

he’s a great evil guy, if you think about. Mind you, I’m only talking from the movies and the TCW point of view because I haven’t read any book about him, but he’s sooooo good at being evil. He plans, he disguise himself in plain view for years, he plays so well the part of the humble, good, moderate politician that you almost believe him. And from the point of view of the characters, there is no crack in his mask until the final moments, when he explicitly tells Anakin that he’s a Sith. He’s absolutely a master of deception, and even if some of his plans are a bit absurd, like all the fake kidnap plans, he’s absolutely incredible when he plans the war that will destroy the jedi with so much time in advance. He and Dooku start planning the clones and the droid armies with years of waiting, manipulating the Senate on one side and the Separatists on the other, just to round up the Jedi, force them into a war that will see a lot of them die in the battlefield, and even install a chip in the clones to be sure that when the moment will be right they will use them as a weapon against the Jedi, all while ending a war that will ensure that the Galaxy will accept an Empire in exchange of a very twisted version of law and order. That is great planning and even if I despise Palpy, I must admit that they wrote a great evil character. He manipulate Anakin during war years, dripping poison in his ears like he’s simply being affectionate, concerned, like he’s just a poor old man that doesn’t understand the Jedi philosophy and just want to help his protégé like he did for Padme before, but he’s so subtly twisting his mind, playing with his fears and anger, that is incredible to witness, a master manipulator. He recruits him on the dark side by just luring him, giving him crumbs that Anakin eats more and more until he eats the whole cake and falls completely when he believes that Palps has hidden powers, but it’s a lie, like almost everything that Palpatine has ever said. 

That said, I really ship Mace’s lightsaber with Palpatine throat and even if I knew that he survives, I always hope that Mace will win the duel every time I rewatch the movie.

Maintain a swear jar. But instead of taking money, collect minis and dice from your vulgar players.

Press me against a wall, a dagger to my throat, and tell me, perhaps even show me, just how much you hate me- the rage, the anger, the anguish, the shame and your love, our embers ignited just for each other, and only one another

Head empty Auril would eat a baby. Next question.

Made a DnD alignment quiz where the answers are hopefully not leading. Link in reblogs, and mind the TWs.

I am neutral minus on Castiel, don’t hate him, but I really think the show suffered for keeping him around so long. He shouldn’t have come back after S5. In fact, angels in general fucking sucked and should have been given way less screen time. Thoughts?

I agree but somebody (Robert Singer?  Sera Gamble?) decided that SPN needs a race that is “Lawful Evil” to be antagonist for the Winchester.

The Borgs of Star Trek: Next Generation, the Dominion of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , the Cyberman of Doctor Who are examples of “Lawful Evil” that believe their species and society is perfect and therefore justified in doing anything to survive and forcibly “welcome” others into it.  

Since these arch-nemesis tend to last the entire length of the series, the Villain  Decay Trope inevitably sets in.  The Borg could never be truly defeated because they always acted in perfect synchronicity, they were truly terrifying until they went from a once-a-season menace to a routine annoyance that could be defeated by a lone lost starship. 

After season 7, there really was no purpose for Castiel anymore and hence his demotion to plot device and the constant unexplained power downgrades.  My headcanon is the Winchesters kept him around for his healing powers - free health care.

I thought the BMOL would be the new Lawful Evil and Mick Davis will be the new Castiel as someone who questions their organization ideologies and methods.  But just like the Campbell family storyline, somebody behind the scene killed that potential.  It could be as simple as  number crunchers didn’t see convention money potential for BMOL, or a rando producer didn’t like BMOL and killed the storyline, or Robert Singer wanting to keep his buddy, Misha, employed.

Producers like Singer are not unique, they’re always propping up their pets.  The brilliant Sleepy Hallow was destroyed because the producers had a crush on Katia Winter and promoted her to female lead by taking Katrina out of the spirit world and sidelining Abbie Mills - this would be like XFiles taking Mulder’s sister out of the starlight world and completely sidelining Dana Scully
