#rip to Elsbeth

[sticks-and-souls]

My favorite part was when Elsbeth was like “Shouldn’t we send more than two squads?” And then Thrawn stared at her for so long that I, sitting on my couch, got secondhand embarrassment for questioning his strategy.

☙☙☙☙

Felix and you had been dating the last weeks of school. For the summer, he’d invited you over to his house. At first it felt like an imposition and too soon to see his family. But as charming as Felix was, he convinced you.

So here you were taking a tour of Saltburn, Felix showing you his home. “This is my room,” he said walking into a lavish room with books and papers everywhere.

“Through here is the bathroom and your room is right next door,” he smiled, walking into an empty guest bedroom.

Felix’s house was a bit overwhelming and you sat down on the bed. “This is wonderful Felix, thank you,” you smiled at him.

He sat down next you to and placed a hand on your knee. You blushed turning your head to face his. Felix admired your beautiful face, looking down to your lips and then into your eyes.

“I’ve set out a dress for you, for dinner tonight. I forgot to mention that we dress for dinner,” Felix informed you.

“It’s okay, it sounds like fun,” you said. Felix smiled softly, moving his face closer to yours. You placed a kiss on his lips, savoring his touch.

Felix kissed you back, a hand moving to your jaw softly. “I know, I know we haven’t yet. But I’d like to, if you want to,” he said softly, a look of yearning in his eyes.

When Felix first got involved with you, he knew you were innocent and a virgin. It’s what drew you to him. But whenever things got heated, he couldn’t bring himself to corrupt you just yet.

You nodded, your face incredibly close to his. “I want to. But maybe we should wait…until tonight?” You said. You felt inexperienced and vulnerable, especially under Felix’s touch.

He winked at you, pulling away. “We’ll see darling. Can’t wait to see you all dressed up.” Felix said, then exiting the room.

You felt all fuzzy inside and your stomach felt heavy. You pushed your thighs together.

☙☙☙☙

Later that night, you were dressed in a long black silhouette dress. You put up your hair in a messy bun and put on light makeup. Walking down to the dining room, you weren’t expecting to see Felix at the end of the hall.

“Hello,” you smiled innocently at him. Felix was dressed in a black suit and tie. He looked as handsome as ever.

When he saw you however, all he wanted to do was rip your dress right off you. Felix’s breath caught in his throat, you were beautiful.

“You look…amazing,” Felix said, blushing softly. He wrapped a hand around your waist lightly, to guide you to the dining room.

You sat down at the table, Elsbeth complimenting your dress. She sat you right next to Felix and he wouldn’t stop teasing you throughout dinner.

During the main course, his hand was on your thigh. His thumb rubbing soft circles. It made your stomach jolt and you could feel something fuzzy between your legs. You clenched around nothing.

Felix couldn’t have eaten fast enough, he wanted to finish dinner, take you upstairs and have you all to himself. You were looking so innocent in your dress it made him hard.

Finally dinner ended and Felix excused you both, saying you were tired after your long trip.

You walked up the stairs with him and in hushed tones you turned to him. “Felix, that was rude. We should have stayed,” you said, a small laugh escaping your lips.

He grabbed your waist softly and pinned you up against a bookcase. Looking down at you with his charismatic grin. “I can’t help it. I need you,” Felix said, almost close to a whine.

“You need me?” You asked softly, bucking your hips into his already visible erection.

Felix groaned, his head falling to your neck. “Yes, let me destroy you and make you mine, please.”

You nodded, a small and quiet “yes” echoing through Felix’s ears.

With one swoop, Felix lifted you up. You laughed a little too loudly and covered your mouth.

“It’s alright, darling. No one can hear us from this side of the house. You’ll be able to be as loud as you want,” Felix said playfully, sloppily kissing your cheeks and neck.

He carried you into his room and gently placed you down on the bed.

“Are you sure?” Felix asked, wanting to have your full and verbal consent before corrupting your innocence

“Yes, I’m sure,” you said, knowing in your heart that you wanted Felix badly.

He nodded, hovering over you and sliding a hand down your side. “I’m going to rip this dress off you,” Felix said.

You giggled, “But you’ll destroy it and I’ll have nothing to wear for dinner.”

“I’ll buy you a hundred dresses then, even more than that if you need,” Felix said, loving the thought of spoiling you.

You playfully rolled your eyes and connected your lips with his. Your arms grabbing his shoulders and pulling him on top of you. Felix sunk into your touch and melted. His hands tugged at the delicate fabric of the dress.

Felix broke the kiss and began to plant kisses down your neck, to your collarbone and then to your now unclothed breast.

Your nipples hardened under the chill in the room. A moan escaped your lips at Felix’s touch.

“Yes, darling. Make those pretty noises,” he praised and encouraged.

Soon your dress was off and most of Felix’s suit was on the side of his bed. He was laying on top of you, needing your left breast with one hand and moving his other hand to your panties.

“Felix, don’t tease,” you said, your arousal already getting the best of you. Felix hummed, slowly removing your panties and placing a finger through your wet folds.

“Such a good girl for me, already wet for me,” he praised. “You’re so innocent, bet you’ve never been touched like this,” Felix said.

You moaned under his touch, melting like butter on a hot pan. He moved his thumb to your clit, rubbing in slow circles. The knot in your stomach was tightening.

“I’m not going to have you cum yet, alright. I need to get you ready for my cock first,” Felix said, removing his thumb from your clit. The lewd words making you more aroused.

Felix gently slipped a finger into your heat, moving it in and out slowly. He then added a second finger stretching you out some more.

You moaned and after a minute he knew you were ready. Felix maneuvered you closer to him, ready to use you like his favorite toy.

“Ya ready love?” He asked, removing his boxers and his cock sprung free.

“Yes, please I need you inside me,” you begged, clenching around nothing.

Felix smirked, running a hand down your thigh. “It’s going to hurt for one second and then it will feel amazing, I promise,” Felix cooed, looking deep into your eyes.

You nodded, as Felix fit himself into your entrance. A groan fell from his lips and he stayed there. You clenched around him and grabbed his shoulders, waiting for the pain of your virginity to disappear.

“That’s my good girl,” Felix praised, beginning to slowly move in and out of you.

You both were a pile of pants and moans, feeling eachother and moving as one. Felix was soft and rough, your hands stayed on his chest.

The knot in your stomach tightened and you couldn’t hold in it any longer. “Felix, I’m gonna cum, I can’t—,” you moaned, eyes shutting in pleasure.

“That’s okay, lovely. Let go, cum for me,” Felix whimpered, getting close to his orgasm aswell.

You came, bucking your hips into Felix as you rode out your high.

Not long after Felix came, groans falling from his lips and into your eardrums.

It was so surreal and your sweaty body was tired. Felix collapsed next you and pulled your body into his. You were exhausted, the pain and pleasure overstimulating you. You fell asleep in Felix’s arms.

When you awoke, sun was streaming through the window. Felix and you hadn’t moved throughout the night. He was asleep beside you, your naked body covered by the softest sheets you’ve ever felt.

You mildly stretched, not wanting to wake the angel beside you. But it was no use, Felix’s eyes fluttered open and a soft grin appeared on his face when he saw you.

“Hello,” Felix giggled softly, nudging his head into your neck.

“Hi,” you replied, turning your sore body towards him.

“You’re glowing,” He said, looking down at your lips and then to your eyes. Felix leaned into kiss you and you felt like you were in heaven.

Trigger warning: talking about the motif of thr*w up in Saltburn

Examples:

- Oliver’s dad’s stone lands in puke instead of in the water

- Oliver’s puke covers the mirror the morning after he drinks himself to sleep after being rejected by Felix

- Oliver mentions getting an upset stomach from runny eggs

- A girl throws up in the fountain at the party

- Oliver throws up in the maze

I think the vomit motif in Saltburn was so interesting. Oliver is the fingers down the throat of this family. He’s forcing his way in as they are forcing him out and it creates a purge.

It is the perfect motif for greed and overindulgence. It also reflects the contrast between Oliver and the Cattons. Oliver is not afraid to get down and dirty whereas the Cattons are squeamish and easily repulsed (Elsbeth choosing men over women simply because they are dry as opposed to wet). Oliver, as Venetia points out, is “real”. Her obsession with vomit is a shameful secret until it is exposed by Oliver. He continues to push their filth to the top until secrets begin to overflow and create a purging process.

Oliver is unafraid to clean Felix’s grimy room, drink his bath water, suck his sister’s blood, fuck his grave, or rip his mother’s breathing tube out.

In a reverse Romeo & Juliet turn of events, Oliver purges himself of the poison that he had just handed off to Felix. Felix will die. Oliver will live. Only one household can live on. This is where vomit almost plays the role of a rebirth. It is a purge of the past and an invitation for something new to begin.

Hope this didn’t gross you out too much.

Thoughts????

[trashquisitor-shirozora]

I saw the thing. Both of the thing. The two things. Those things. Star Wars things.

RIP Luke Skywalker's relevance post-OT, we hardly knew ye.

[spoilers and shit below the cut]

I mean... the first two episodes did their job? They certainly felt like a typical Star Wars, whatever your definition of Star Wars is. It just feels like these people at the top have no fucking idea what to do with the galaxy post-Empire and pre-First Order. Like, there is no obviously Big Bad Fascist group of baddies that our plucky underdog rebel heroes have to fight. The enemy is not clear as bright fucking day. What is the enemy? What are we fighting? Is this why we're plundering the depths of the EU and overwriting EU!Thrawn with Disney!Thrawn? Is this why we're turning the New Republic into an uncaring out-of-touch wannabe Galactic Republic/Empire?

There are many, many places where the Volume is painfully obvious and it is incredibly fucking distracting. Personally, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy and the POTC trilogy really sold me on the possibilites offered by the marriage of practical FX and CGI. I've never been convinced by the "gimmick" that James Cameron's blue cat people promised, and seeing how increasingly terrible and cheap and fucking greedy the Hollywood studios have become since then has me convinced that we're fucked. I still want to one day get a job in entertainment design but I am increasingly gritting my teeth and side-eyeing the state of things.

There has to be better way to paint non-human skin tones onto actors right. The lack of emoting also really frustrated me. I hope it's just people settling into their roles but I also don't know the sequence in which they shot their scenes. It's just... I felt nothing. I lied. I felt something for Sabine's lothcat. I get Ahsoka at this time being aloof, distant, cold, closed off, but everybody else? I didn't feel it. Maybe from Skoll and Hati, our non-Jedi Norse wolves. Nordic? I don't fucking know.

Someone please explain to me how Sabine is suddenly a Padawan, an ex-Padawan, and now a Padawan again. I never saw Rebels but I know enough canon to know that Padawans are supposed to have some kind of Force sensitivity? Why is Ahsoka deciding who to take in as a Padawan? I thought she left the Jedi Order before she became a Knight? What the fuck is going on? Is she just... making up the rules now since there isn't an Order of people to say, "Hey, maybe don't"? Or is she just picking up where Ezra and Kanan left off? I don't know Rebels and it is midnight; I sure af am not going to decide to read summaries of everyone right now.

Sorry to Luke who either never blipped on Baylan's radar or was just that unimportant to him. Somehow. Sorry to Cal, though I don't even know if he survived to see the Empire's fall.

Among the bipedals who speak Basic, Morgan Elsbeth wins the award for "Most Interesting Character" because Diana knows how to chew up her scenes and has the charisma to keep me interested. I don't recall she was ever revealed to be a Witch in her Mando episode. But now she is? What? Why?

The baseline world development of the Corellian shipyards fucking kills me. I know nothing about Lothal from the show so I can't say shit, but from what I've seen of the city itself, it's so.... clean. CG clean. "We can't let people know we live here" clean. The Volume was screaming into my eyes on Arcana, and I can't believe the fucking planet is called Arcana.

But what is the reason why Sabine put away the parts of herself that are Mandalorian? Is it so that we can see her floundering and struggling and letting her hair grow long while she tells everyone to fuck off? Is it so that we can then see her saw off her long hair a la Mulan (or Kanan, I guess) and become a Mandalorian again? I... I don't have any emotional investment in this. I didn't see Rebels, therefore I don't have any actual emotional investment in this. It's just, cool CG, lightsabers whee, classic Star Wars-ish music to yank at your heartstrings, droids, magic, the Force, Force shit, more lightsabers, pew pew, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And people I only recognize because of the Galaxy of Heroes games, fandom osmosis, and cursory skimming of the Star Wars wiki. If I was a true outsider who knew the bare minimum from previous D+ shows, waht would my investment level be?

Is anyone surprised that Andor keeps showing up in these conversations? I want to rip my hair out and scream at people who hate the discourse because they say people just want more shows exactly like Andor (grimy and dark and grimdark with no Jedi and no Sith and no pew pew space fights and no bzzzzzzzzzzt lightsabers and all politics and politicking and hard decisions made by morally gray characters either trying to survive or trying to see the Rebellion survive) instead of the campy unseriousness with color and bad CG and silliness and pew pew space lasers and shit. I just want more shows made with love and care and a basic understanding of storytelling. There's a difference between telling a story and telling a Star Wars story. The Felonious Showrunners are telling you a Star Wars story full of Star Wars. Did you see the Star Wars? Look at the Star Wars. Listen to the Star Wars. Feel the Star Wars. Yes, I get it, but are you also telling me a story? Is this all really just a buildup to Thrawn returning to the galaxy to take control of the Imperial remnants to make a second Empire or some shit like that? And as always, does it really matter when Thrawn and Ahsoka and Mandalore didn't have ANY impact on the galaxy or the fate of the New Republic and the First Order in the ST?

Fucking hell, looked up serial vs episodic because I forgot the terms and then deleted the entire paragraph because what's the point l o l. Look, the problem for me is that this show relies on working knowledge of Rebels and also The Clone Wars so that we can understand who these people are, what their history is with each other, and where they're coming from when the Norse wolves sprung a witch from her cell. I don't have the time or energy to do any of that, so I don't... I don't care. Who are these people? Explain them to me. Tell me why I should care without assuming I already watched the other shows. All we had of Andor is Cassian Andor, who dies at the end of Rogue 1. Yet somehow we got to see all these new faces emerge and bloom and keep rising or dying for the sake of the nascent Rebellion. We got to know who the fuck they are, what the fuck they do or did, what their relationships are to each other, to the Rebellion, to the Empire, to Cassian. We got to see and hear what they believed in and why they fight or don't fight.

You don't need the 3 episodes of fleshing out Ferrix or any of the characters integral to a story arc. You already have the settings and the people. You already have the history. It would take a lot less work to introduce who they are, what they did or do, how they relate to each other, what they won and lost . It just... it just feels so damn shallow and half-baked and stiff and light like cotton candy.

I think if not for Andor, these first two episodes of Ahsoka would be perfectly acceptable in the Star Wars D+ series pantheon. But Andor is fucking Spiders Georg and fucked over people's expectations of what a good Star Wars show is and can be.

ACTUALLY. WHY NOT TELL THOSE OF US THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE DISNEY STAR WARS LORE WHO THE FUCK THRAWN IS, WHAT THE FUCK HE DID, AND WHY WE DON'T WANT HIM BACK. Oh he's the last of the Imperial Grand Admirals - so what. Moff Gideon is beneath the likes of Vader and Tarkin and Thrawn and he did a lot of fucking damage. Andor showed us very clearly what kind of power and damage the ISB can do. So how much more damage can Thrawn do if he did come back? What kind of threat is he? TELL US HOW DANGEROUS HE IS TO THE NEW REPUBLIC. TELL US WHY MORGAN IS TRYING TO BRING HIM BACK. FOR HER OWN AMBITIONS? TO HELP OUT THE OTHER IDIOTS HIDING IN THE DARK, LAUGHING AT GIDEON CLONING HIMSELF IN A PATHETIC GRAB FOR POWER? COME ON. TELL ME SOMETHING.

Anyway, sorry to Luke Skywalker who's stuck on Ossus fucking around with Artoo and a bunch of spider droids, locked out of some greater story about an apathetic former Padawan and her own Mando Padawan looking for a lost Jedi while also trying to stop a blue man from returning to the galaxy. Maybe he never should've returned to Star Wars and stayed a grumpy old Jake who died all alone on some fuckoff island.

Let's see what the next episode will bring! At least it makes great background noise while I do other things.

[thewickedbohemian]

Thoughts on a show that deserves to not have this end its run and a show that can carry CBS's Blue Sky torch while the former hopefully makes it to another network

So Help Me Todd

ok where are they

boy is Todd a fish out of water

nice to see you two again

Never noticed the logo's a nest before

Hi Judy from seemingly out of nowhere nice to know they're continually dating not just one

ok where'd everybody go

ADHD's worst nightmare, reception

As if Margaret needs more on her plate Allison

OK Beverly sounding like a GoT character

hi suits, hi potential setup

nice multitasking and nice trick

Wright vs Easton

OK gay Tyle moment and Pitch Perfect reference

not Lyle getting an Elliot Spencer moment of accidental fame

anyone else think Margaret might be autistic

no no no triggering phobias

Todd how much phone shenanigans have you been doing

So Judy is Todd's Todd, cute

We're just bringing out all the returning faces

Gus goes dad mode on his gf

getting a little bit of Librarians vibes with the trio working together

Esp. because Judy knows multiple languages

metaphorically-RIP Francey

Answer the phone Margaret

this smells like a setup

good standing up for yourself Allison

cue ending montage proving why we should have a S3; Jodd kiss, senior associate Susan, detective!Allison in the future etc.

not as dangerous a cliffhanger as I was expecting but still something that means we deserve more seasons to have answers

Elsbeth

ok so alcohol snobs now (why are we always investigating rich people's cases here)

writer girl's cute

some of their talk feels like it codas the SHMT that just ended

mom had almost that kind of roommate

taking matters into his own hands I see

would the real Gemma Nelson please stand up, we're gonna have a problem here

I love that both SHMT and Elsbeth had bribery framing metaplots

Elsbeth playing with everything again

Bejeweled breast pumps no thanks

that looks like the cutest mocktail I've ever seen

whatcha doin with your shoes

still think Claudia's the real mastermind

nice unintentional foreshadowing (or at least dramatic-ironic foreshadowing) with the bartender thing

Joe feels like the most sympathetic killer and Gemma the most unsympathetic victim this show's ever had

the random acts of kindness shit (though not to lethal levels obviously) reminds me of stuff my sister used to do in a club at her high school

Ivy's too obvious a red herring even without the dramatic irony

No Broadway reference so far I'm surprised unless Deborah S. Craig counts (as she's half of what counted in E3)

Cue everyone immediately trying to make that mocktail (he listed the ingredients it's a matter of ratios)

I would think the story about bullying's a lie except Teddy's gay

and Joe's superhero complex suddenly got scary

One sting another sting

And Captain Wagner pulls a Todd

Weirdest Elsbeth outfit ever and ending you'd expect of a season finale when it's not

[notallthosewho-wanderarelost]

Ahsoka 1x01 1x02 Thoughts/Questions

Spoilers for Ahsoka of course, and spoilers for Star Wars Rebels.

WHAT IS SABINE’S CAT’S NAME???? This is unironically my number one question. What if she named it Ezra.

Where is Jacen? My broccoli boy 💚

Wtf is up with Morgan Elsbeth being a nightsister? She’s very clearly human and not the same species as Talzin, Ventress, and Merrin, etc. Is Dave bringing back the concept of a group of human Nightsisters from the EU? (In which case, I’d like to see Teneniel Djo please.) Morgan says she’s a “descendant of the witches of Dathomir,” does that mean she could be part Nightsister but mostly human? Worth noting she is clearly able to do at least a bit of Nightsister magick in the scene with the map- she summons green smoke while opening it. Why the inconsistency in species? It seems silly to suddenly have a human Nightsister character when it’s needlessly confusing.

Also, the instant she said she was a Nightsister and a survivor I was like “who does she think she is ripping off Merrin like this?!” I will not tolerate this dollar store knockoff wannabe.

Update: checked the wiki and apparently there were a few small human Nightsister clans (the Singing Mountain clan is apparently still canon!), but mostly it was the big Dathomirian Nightsister clan led by Mother Talzin. Morgan could be from one of the smaller human clans. I think she just feels annoying to me because it’s like someone saw how cool Merrin is, thought she’d be a good villain for this, and then took the character concept wholesale for a piece of Star Wars media that’s more mainstream, but didn’t put in the work so it falls flat. And then her being human just makes it weirder. I wonder who made the decision to use the Nightsisters for this storyline, because doesn’t… fit. Even Morgan’s name is odd. Just feels like no effort was put into the character.

How did Ahsoka find Huyang? I’m so curious when and how this happened. I’m really happy to see him in this though, I loved him in Clone Wars.

Ahsoka can do psychometry now! Can we please get some canon Ahsoka and Cal Kestis interactions? Rebellion era would probably be best but I’m not picky. Obviously Cal’s abilities in that area are a lot stronger, but it’s nice he’s not alone and it’d be great to see them interact. They’re almost the same age, but just far enough apart that their experiences since Order 66 have been radically different.

Mando/Din spending seasons raising a Jedi foundling and Ahsoka taking on a non-Force-sensitive Mandalorian as a padawan is so funny to me. The irony of the inverse.

It’s also the perfect continuation of the disaster lineage attitude imo. Obi-Wan “I’ll train the kid you all say is too old to train” Kenobi, then Anakin and Ahsoka’s… you know, Anakin and Ahsoka-ing, and now Ahsoka’s like “I’ll take a regular non-Force-Sensitive person as a padawan.”

Merrin and Sabine would get along, I think.

Sabine being like 30 and still acting exactly like a rebellious teenager feels like a cry for help to me. :( I’m glad Hera seems to have her back, and it’s good that she has a cat, but I’m worried about her. It makes sense, but gosh poor Sabine. I’m sensing depression. She’s had such a tough life and a tough time with the concept of family, it feels like losing Ezra was the last straw for her emotionally.

Actually, where is Sabine’s biological family? Are Ursa, Tristan, and Alrich okay? Or did they not survive the Mandalorian Purge? (God no I WILL cry. Also @ Dave where is Korkie, why is Bo-Katan calling herself the last Kryze.)

So wait, the rest of the crew has spent 15 years thinking Ezra’s dead?? He said to come find him! I always felt like he was pretty clear he wasn’t dying when he pulled his purrgil stunt. Did they all just turn pessimistic and lose hope? That’s so sad.

I actually really love Sabine kind of being the Republic’s version of Thrawn as an expert art analyst. Continues the Sabine/Thrawn contrast Rebels started where Thrawn analyzes art in a more academic fashion and treats the culture it came from as a curiosity- he’s very into cultural appropriation!!- while Sabine makes her own art and is more capable of stepping into other people’s shoes to appreciate their art.

Ahsoka refusing to train Sabine because she’s too busy being sad and lonely, and Sabine refusing to talk to Ahsoka or train (or give speeches) because she’s too busy being sad and lonely. This is so sad and I want to hug them both.

It works because we have a new actress playing Ahsoka, but I’m so curious what this would have been like animated. Ahsoka feels similar enough to herself but very different, because she’s in such a different place emotionally, and I’m curious how this would’ve felt in animation with Ashley doing the voice.

There were a few scenes where I felt like I was watching a live action Rebels episode and it was the best! The entire sequence with Sabine on the hover bike getting away from her own New Republic squad lol, Hera in the Phantom with Chopper chasing after the ship and planting the tracker. Chopper not being able to find the tracker until Hera told him where it was felt SPOT ON.

The T-6 actually looks pretty roomy and comfortable so far. Like, not the best living situation, but it looks way bigger than the Falcon! Heck, it looks bigger than Ezra’s tower that Sabine’s living in.

That said, Ahsoka having not had a real home since leaving the Jedi Temple is killing me. She really has some abandonment/attachment/commitment issues she needs to work on. Extremely understandable issues given what happened, but it’s like after the end of Rebels she just… quit. Maybe finding out Kanan was gone and then coming back to find Ezra gone was the last straw for her.

I also feel like her giving up on Sabine’s training was because of how her own training ended and Anakin’s fall shortly after. She doesn’t feel capable of dealing with the feelings stirred up by having a student. So she just doesn’t.

Sabine’s collecting little brothers. :) Tristan, Ezra, and Jacen.

I yelled at Senator Jai Kell!!! Good for him!!!

Had a watch party with my friends for this and we all screamed the instant Chopper showed up!! And here I was thinking maybe he was off babysitting Jacen.

What in the world is with the map showing another galaxy?? Yuuzhan Vong vibes. (The way they were almost canon because we were supposed to get a Clone Wars episode with them… :’( )

Why DO the Nightsisters have a map to another galaxy? Didn’t they mostly stay on Dathomir? I can buy them having outposts like the ruins where Ahsoka found the map in an era when they left the planet more, but a map to whole other galaxy seems a bit off. Space exploration on that scale doesn’t seem like something they would do. I wonder if maybe the map is a relic from someone else that they picked up. I like the Rakata theory I saw floated by someone. I could see the Nightsisters picking up a Rakatan map. Those guys left random stuff everywhere iirc.

Does the Eye of Sion have anything to do with Darth Sion? (Of KOTOR 2 fame)

WHERE IS MORAI??? This is a really big question for me!!

Also wondering where Ahsoka’s Gandalf the White outfit is? Guessing she won’t get it until the end of the show. She has to go through her journey first. I wonder if the if it’ll mirror the Topps cards Filoni did after Twilight of the Apprentice at all.

It’s really sad to me that this show is coming out during the strike, because I really need Filoni commentary on things. Actor commentary would be great as well. This is ridiculous, the studios need to pay the people who make things a fair wage.

Shoutout to Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s portrayal of Sabine so far. She feels JUST like Sabine and it’s great. We haven’t really seen enough of Hera yet for me to comment on Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s acting. (It was so weird seeing Hera be taller than Ahsoka though lol.) And Sabine had much more of an arc in these two episodes than Ahsoka did so I can’t really comment on Rosario’s Ahsoka either. Will say she’s been excellent so far, especially in her first appearance in the Mandalorian episode. Looking forward to seeing more!

Just as things start to heat up, Joel decides they need to cool down

My stomach sinks. I’ve barely had time to wipe my mouth and stand back up. “Talk?” I ask quietly.

He rises to his feet, and grabs his t-shirt off the counter, pulling it over his head. He starts opening his mouth to say something, but stops.

“Well?” I say, a little embarrassed by the urgency of my voice.

He looks away from me. “This ain’t right.” He shakes his head. “You seem like a nice girl and…”

“And what? You came in my mouth and now you have a conscience all of a sudden?” My words are full of venom and I can feel anger and betrayal building inside me.

His face is reddening, but he stares into my eyes. “I… should have known better. I’m sorry.”

“Sorry!” I shout, rolling my eyes. “Is this a fucking joke? You make your little conquest and then tell me you regret it?”

He puts a hand on his hip, and considers what to say next. “It’s not like that. I think we both have a lot of pent-up frustration. I let things get out of hand.”

I try to think of something intelligent to say, something level-headed, but I come up empty. I feel hollowed out. I don’t even like this man, I’d just met him after all. But there was at least something human and real we shared with each other, and having that ripped away felt like a stab to the gut.

“You’re a goddamn fucking asshole. A real piece of shit, you know that? I should have killed you in your sleep.” The words come stuttering out.

“Calm down,” he says firmly.

That sends me into a fit. I yell a few more choice words at him before storming out the door of the room. I turn to him and say, “I’m going to get some supplies and then get some rest. You can wake me up when you’re ready to go, and we don’t have to say another goddamn word to each other for the rest of the fucking trip.”

I storm down the hallway before he can answer. I don’t even realize I’ve left all my things in the room with him until I’m ascending the stairs to the next floor, but I don’t bother going back. I’m so mad I could spit, and worse, I’m embarrassed. How could I let myself be so intimate with a stranger? A man who robbed me? I feel nauseous and sink to the floor against a wall, angry tears streaming down my already stinging face.

I allow myself a few moments to be upset, wallow in how stupid I feel, before I get up and start looking around again.

I try to put everything to do with him and the things we’ve done out of my mind and be productive. I walk towards the end of the wing I’m in and check every room for anything useful.

After about a half hour or so, I’ve collected an assortment of bandages, alcohol wipes, scalpels, and even some painkillers. I tuck everything into a neat bundle using some sheets from a supply closet.

I’m in awe of the abundance of supplies we’ve stumbled into. I’m hoping I can trade some of what I’ve found once I’m at the outpost.

As I wander a little further down the hall, I open a door that contains several beds, and past that, what looks like a locker room.

I walk inside, and there are showers. Tentatively, I walk up to one and turn the handle. To my surprise, water shoots out. It’s cold, but there’s decent pressure. I’m thrilled. I remember Elsbeth and her father telling me that if anywhere would have running water, it would be a medical building, but I’m still surprised that it’s running after all this time.

I run my hand under the stream and, despite how chilly it is, it feels incredible. I haven’t been able to clean off since we left my home, and I feel especially grimy after everything that’s transpired.

I take another look around the small dorm and then start stripping my clothes off. I don’t have any shampoo or soap, but I’ll take what I can get. As I step under the stream, I feel my body shock awake in the cold water. It feels good, and I can already feel my head clearing a bit.

I rinse my mouth out and consider the things Joel said to me.

“You’re a nice girl.”

“I should have known better”

“I let things get out of hand…”

Did he actually feel bad? Was his conscience coming for him? Or was I just getting too attached for his liking?

I don’t like that I’m not sure what the answer is. Either way, I’m hurt. I had something that felt good, calmed me down, gave me a tiny bit of peace and catharsis in this ugly world. It was gone before it even started.

Of course I knew it wouldn’t lead to something of substance, that it was just pent-up sexual frustration and lust, but I didn’t care. I almost wish I could tell him that. That I was okay with being used and using him.

I think back to the promise I made to myself to break it off if it ever went past him pleasuring me, and how quickly I broke it. Still, I didn’t want it to end, and I was angry that he was the one to end it.

I try to shake off the emotions I’m feeling and apply some level-headed measure to the situation. I got caught up. I was lazy and let myself get wrapped up in a warm body and good feelings. I slipped.

Regardless of how crappy it makes me feel, I need to move on. We have days of traveling ahead of us, and if I don’t get a grip, things are going to go south real fast. I have to put my feelings on the back burner for now and concentrate on surviving.

Once I’ve finished soaking in the cold water, and I feel like I’ve sufficiently cleared my head, I turn off the faucet and begin wringing my wet hair out. I use an extra blanket to towel off and start thinking about what I’ll say to Joel.

Definitely not an apology. I’m not sorry. But I’ll make sure he sees I can stand on my own two feet and I’m not some wilting flower. That I can be just as stoic and emotionless as he is. We’ll pass the next few days in silence, and without all the fucking around to distract us, we’ll probably make it to the outpost sooner.

I don’t feel completely better, but I’m ready to put on a brave face.

I cringe as I put my dirty clothes back on. I’d kill for a change of clothes. I even searched around for scrubs during my supply search but came up empty.

I give myself another pep talk as I lace up my shoes. From now on, things are strictly business and I could be okay with that.

I walk back down the hall, and I’m about to walk down the stairs and back towards Joel when I stop dead in my tracks.

Multiple raised, muffled voices are coming from downstairs.

[revenge-of-the-shit]

On one hand it's nice to see another SW show with more representation to it (special shoutout to Morgan Elsbeth who makes a reappearance), but on the other hand it's not meaningful at all they're going to treat it the way TBOBF did it - which is to say, they give them maybe 1 episode with actual, meaningful representation, then rip it away in favor of whatever the fuck was going on. Surface level diversity means absolute jack shit when there's no marginalized voices in the writing room or production team.

Tuesday, May 28th

Real Day 1 is DONE, bitches!! Admittedly, I did a rather poor job of getting to sleep on time (I tried, but there was some serious flopping around in bed like a fish-- it was HOT until I cracked a window) so I woke up groggy, but I also woke up full of anticipation and it only took me a bit of coffee to feel back to normal.

I got to work with plenty of time to do my hair and make-up and do some warm-ups, and then it was time for my first five-show day. I was nervous. I was really nervous, I'll admit it. Sweat, twisting stomach, the whole shebang. I know Real Performers don't get nervous or whatever, and hopefully soon it won't happen every day, but I hadn't been onstage in a LONG time because of The Horrors, and this is the first time I was looking at doing it for a basically full-time job. But it went... good!! I think good! I was too high on adrenaline for the first two sets to be able to take in much from the crowd, I'll admit, but once I managed to tune in, they were happy and cheering and laughing and appreciative!! And I honestly had a blast. I had a particular rapport with Shane, since we rehearsed together, obviously, but my rapport with the others will grow, I know it!

Between sets, I watched two more episodes of Elsbeth. Honestly, very fun show! It's a bit procedural-y, but it's a fun return to New York and I adore Elsbeth as a character, she's making this show for me. She and Kaya need to kiss now.

I also ate a soup and, tragically, a huge Paradise drink and cake pop from the breezeway Starbs on my lunch break. UGH. ZEPBOUND, DO YOUR THING AT ANY TIME.

Because Shane and I are similar theme park sickos, he asked me after work if I wanted to celebrate my first real day off work by going into the parks, and OH BOY DID I! I killed an hour with that second Elsbethsode waiting for him to get off work, and his friend Cameron, who was super nice, came and met us.

AWESOME NIGHT. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Lines were pretty short, and Universal still believes in the glory of single rider, so we hit... pretty much everything. All the coasters (Mummy twice-- what a ride!), I did Born to be Wild on Rip Ride Rockit, then we got burgers and beers and watched the sun go down, and hit Transformers before the park closed. All in like, three hours after my shift. This is exactly the delightful job perk I hoped it would be.

I came home with too much stupid energy to burn, and once again suspect I've stayed up too late reading comforting fanfiction and fucking around on social media *sprays self with water bottle* Bad Kelsey, bad. Trazodone is not enough. I need a hypnotic injected straight into my brain meat.

Seriously, off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day, and I am determined to kill it!

I mean you had to know I was going to ask about DD Prayer - Shower right? You had to be prepared for this eventuality, because you put the words prayer and shower together in a title and my little gay brain can focus on nothing else. Also, if I promise not to mention the cake fic can I ask about another that I think is gonna have me in bits? Because She Never Looked at Me Like That is screaming at me!

To repay you for your kindness of NOT being angry with me for that poor neglected Cake Fic! (Rip soon - someday!!! *pours out a cold one*)

I will NOt give you “Because She Never Looked at Me Like That” because I already sent that to you in its entirety (it’s the Trial with Elsbeth’s mother (which is everyone else’s spoiler even though you have no idea what I’m talking about I swear it’s kind of iconic!))

SOoOOo I will give you two bits of “DD Prayer- Showrr” and I promise to give your little lovely gay brain EXACTLY what she wants ❤️❤️❤️❤️

And 😈😈😈
