the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."
And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."
And Bashir saying things like “You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."
And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
And I’m just supposed to be normal about it???

SITH! AHSOKA & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS BY ME.
"YOU FAILED ME! DO YOU KNOW...WHAT I'VE BECOME?"
"I GAVE YOU A CHOICE".
This is not dark against light. This is more personal.
It's not even master against apprentice.
It's more than that.
It's brother against sister.
It's Anakin against Ahsoka.
Face to face.
