what i wouldn't give for fanart of the Disaster Lineage carrying obi-wan because he's the smallest of them all. like, qui-gon going bridal carry with a furious obi. anakin either giving him a piggyback ride or straight up tossing him over his shoulder. ahsoka jokingly lifting him up à la lion king. dooku very confidently holding him like a baby while he hides his face in embarrassment. bonus points for yoda just levitating the poor man.

this is still the funniest thing my oc annie has ever said. he was having insane faggot sex like two dogs trying to kill each other with the guy being discussed at the time.

you hate dragonknight aemon? now that's interesting!

could you claim to love someone and still fight for their subjugation? for the system AND the individual person that subjects them to years of brutalization and ultimately kills them? You love them, but you won’t free them from this. That would make you an oathbreaker and dishonorable, and you cannot be those things. You are a noble protector. A true knight. You won’t free them, you’ll suffer together forever. They’ll always be close to you, always need you to protect them, and you’ll always be the only person in their immediate vicinity that they can love. Forever. This is noble, this is good, because you are noble and good, because you are not cruel like your brother who abuses his authority as the king to hurt your sister. Not like you. You use your authority as a knight to hurt with your sister forever and ever.

With the whole "Munson doctrine" bs. Eddie wasn't just against the jocks and the bullies (and there's no proof that he was seriously bullied? Just a bit of an outcast?). He was against anyone that was a part of what he called conformity. In that stupid speech on the table he called out people in band and those who like science for forced conformity. Other outcasts, other people that would have been bullied. Because they liked something he didn't.

It wasn't about self defense, it was an I'm right, you're wrong mentality, that his interests were the only valid interests.

Also, this is why I *hate* the idea of Eddie and Robin being friends or having some sort of alliance pre-s4 (or even pre-s3) because she's in band and likes band and he canonically criticized being in band as forced conformity. Why would she be friends with someone who is so vocally against something she enjoyed?

Oh yes I think Eddie has a bee in his bonnet about people who don't......conform.....to his brand of nonconformity. But I do think part of it is self preservation, or at least started out that way but grew into something else? Eddie is an outcast, has a non-nuclear family, and is poor, and all that shapes his view, but it also doesn't stop him from ostracizing people who he thinks aren't outcast enough or in the correct way (Subconsciously, at least.) Eddie thinks the only way to be a weirdo and a freak is to be loud about it, to be purposely obnoxious, to not even consider the normie hobbies or interests as something worth your time.

But as you've said band geeks and science nerds would also be in the crossfire. Heck, the party are all science nerds! I guess that didn't actually interfere with Eddie's interests though. Until inevitably a big county/state science fair or something would be on Hellfire night, and then it might have (except the Duffers would not have done that because they want to continue the nerd v jock thing happening that's just so stupid). He left Lucas out to dry, what's to say he wouldn't do the same to the other boys?

Part of what makes Eddie a fun and interesting character is that we get a glimpse of him starting to realize the strict us vs them, jocks vs nerds, conformity vs nonconformity binaries he's built around himself are not so clear-cut when he talks to Steve in the upside down. But it took him seeing Steve being a chill and kind guy, as opposed to Lucas who was in Hellfire since the beginning of the year to make him see that. Maybe he viewed Lucas as betraying them by joining basketball, but Steve, moving in the """opposite direction""" away from ""jockdom"" was what made it click for him. Eddie has a lot of issues to work through regarding expectations and nonconformity.

Oh. Yes I don't think, in canon, Eddie and Robin would be friends pre S4. Like I think aus that show us how he works through things (or at least tells us he did) can be fun. But when there's just the assumption that they'd be friends pre S4 or even pre S3 without either of them changing from how we were introduced to them? Uhg. Robin thinks Eddie is an annoying weirdo who stepped on her lunch one time :( and said the band uniforms were stupid and she took offense to that because he acted like it was their fault and not the school's. Eddie thinks Robin is some boring band dweeb and never thinks about her unless it's a vauge sort of "oh she's talking to Dustin" way.

It's also frustrating because Steve is often left behind in these AUs, and Eddie replaces him as Robin's best friend [at least at the start] One of the reasons stobin is so powerful is because they were both lonely losers who happened to find their forever friend in scoops ahoy. Robin having a close friend she's out to before that doesn't make sense, especially since it's heavily implied Steve is the first person she's told, which is why that scene means so much!

because this has been bothering me all day due to some very weird posts circulating on here, i'm just going to say...having reasons not to die is really important, and acknowledging that those reasons are often people we love, *including* romantic partners for many, is not diminishing or belittling to someone's survival and recovery. it unsettles me that this idea of "they did it THEMSELVES" is being trumpeted as the only way to be strong - and i'm going to say this specifically in regards to women. saying it's "misogynistic" (?) to recognize that a woman needed some help getting up again and needed a touchstone and reason to keep going is nonsense. girl power™ shouldn't be minimized to having to do everything on your own. recognizing loved ones as vital is what most people would want when they're struggling and being held. and if someone has a partner who helped pull them back into the light, and they repeatedly recognize and state that fact, it's not dismissing their resilience and agency to note how valuable and dear that is for them. i just don't understand this outlook that's cropping up that we can only save ourselves all alone and don't need anyone else to achieve that. i'm unbelievably isolated as far as interpersonal irl relationships go, but i could give you a list of reasons, real and fictional, people to art, why i haven't simply packed it in and let myself die yet. sure, there is a conscious decision made there and agency in continuing on, but it would be absurd and an outright lie to say that's all on me, and i wouldn't WANT anyone to think it is!!! it is not only up to me! left to my own devices things would be far worse! you don't have to do this on your own. you're allowed to reach out for a hand. you're allowed to accept and embrace and cling tightly to love, whatever that is for you. you're allowed to seek the light outside yourself when your heart is heavy and your mind is dark. it doesn't make you weaker to say that and to have that. it makes you brave.

WHY THEY DON'T FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT.

Peony: Thinks everything is all fixed now 🥰

Triandra: Too caught up in her self-loathing and agonizing guilt to even consider speaking with Sharena, the only reason she's on speaking terms with Peony IS because of their closer proximity to each other (being alfar/shared background) and Peony's persistence

Sharena: Talks to Peony, Doesn't talk to Triandra????? Sharena is. The Ignorer. Maybe she wants to reach out, but doesn't know how or even where to begin. But honestly I think she's repressing a bunch of shit too. To speak to Triandra would mean having to Unpack All That.

Alfonse: Speaks to Peony and Triandra on business only. Very professional. Very cordial. Yes there's also the harsh self-criticism and agonizing guilt and holding even his child self to impossible standards like this never should have happened. I should have stopped it. I should have fixed it. I should have been Enough to Prevent This. For my sister to have been in the realm of dreams, her peers being abused and left for dead, what does that say? What does that mean? What happened? How could it have happened? It should have never happened. I should have

so SPN and X-Files have a lot of shared DNA, but one of the weirder things they have in common is a main duo with insane sexual & romantic tension that i enjoy the hell out of and... never ever want resolved onscreen. neither relationshipper nor noromo but a secret third thing (actively wanted X-Files to straightbait me FOREVER without ever making Mulder and Scully an item). perceiver & enjoyer of all the wild-ass wincest vibes, but what i want out of Supernatural itself isn't brotherfucking, it's Sam and Dean continuing to be insane about each other while playing increasingly high-risk and psychologically-convoluted games of incest chicken. in fanfiction all bets are off, but in neither case did i want canon to either Go There OR go unambiguously platonic.

of course, in both cases i got what i wanted for a while and then didn't, but lol that X-Files only went there at the point where going there was the least of its betrayals & disappointments, whereas SPN picked the EXTREMELY normal option of "the brothers are married, platonically, and they no longer get to be horny but no one else does either."
