HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN + the 'Obi-Ani' lightsaber spin

Hayden came up with a move when we did the second film that was like your move, like signature […] for me it always felt like your move because he was really good at it. — Ewan McGregor

[thundrpilot]

never gonna shut up about this i'm sorry

[thundrpilot]

This is gonna be quite long… and funny, hopefully. 

I was rewatching my favorite duels on the tube, this morning, and this thought occurred to me. 

Ewan McGregor is the Ginger Rogers of Star Wars. 

Yeah, I know, listen. This is our beloved Obi-Wan Kenobi, jedi master, the Master of Soresu, great lightsaber duelist, amazing fighter and all, look at him. How fast, and powerful, and lethal, yeah. I love him, right. We all do, I know. 

He was amazing from the start, so good that he’s the first jedi and padawan to kill a sith in a thousand years, and he’s the master of Soresu, so good that he gives way, against Anakin, hoping to get him so tired to talk to him out of the dark side. What a jedi, what a warrior. 

Fine. 

Then, we have Ewan McGregor, so good at it that they had to slow down the duel with amazing Ray Park because it was so fast that nobody would believe it. Look at them. 

Let’s not forget that Ray Park is an actual martial artist, and he was in his prime during this film, and they were so good and fast that the fight is perfectly believable. A choreography, but a perfect one. Two dancers in synch. 

And with Hayden? Look at them. Fast, precise, and Ewan is always walking backwards. 

the most amazing thing to me is that is Ewan actually deciding the pace, because Hayden can’t be too fast or he’ll risk to hurt Ewan, and can’t be too slow, or he’ll miss the beat. And in all this, Ewan is walking backwards, without ever looking, and without missing a beat. 

Ginger Rogers would have been so proud of Ewan.

If there was a sci-fi novel with a megalomaniac billionaire who was the son of an Apartheid emerald mine owner, and he was privatizing space exploration so the public no longer has a say in it...you know that would be considered bad, right? The heroes would fight to stop SpaceX.

The fact that anyone considers SpaceX as anything other than a continuation of the transfer of public sector science, that was run for the public good, into the hands of billionaires is a testament to our propaganda. Having space exploration controlled by one billionaire is bad.

Remember in the 60s when rockets launched and the credit was given to the scientists and astronauts that actually made it happen?

Now it's given to the billionaire who pillaged NASA tech and is now using it as his playground and promotion for his cars. That's bad. SpaceX is bad.

Cam’s Naruto Rec 2/∞

Naruto Fic Recs: [1] [2] Fic Masterlist here for full list.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

through the dark, reaching for me now by callaina

Word Count:  5,341 (1/1)

Summary:  The first time Iruka meets Hatake Kakashi he is decidedly not awestruck.

Comments:  KakaIru. Fuuinjutsu Master Iruka. First meeting. Strangers to Lovers. Iruka being amazing and Kakashi realizing it and then lots of fluff.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

Making Amends by Jubokko, LazarusII

Word Count:  31,381 (5/5)

Summary:  It had been months since Kakashi and Iruka last spoke to one another for anything other than business—and over two years since their mutual breakup. Terrible, painful, lonely years filled with nothing but shitloads of paperwork and enough politics to make Kakashi want to gag. 

But his days in office were numbered. That, he could deal with. Iruka, on the other hand…

Comments:  KakaIru. Hokage!Kakashi, ANBU!Kakashi, BAMF!Kakashi, BAMF!Iruka. Undercover Kakashi, lots of action and fight scenes, and lots of missing-nin. A part of the Umino Undercover collection on Ao3, which is full of really good Iruka-centric fics

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

Taking A Break by ohmygoshwhatascream

Word Count:  47,699 (8/8)

Summary:  With Naruto gone, Iruka finds himself left with nothing but loose ends. Lonely, but not quite willing to admit it, life goes on. He takes more shifts at the mission desk, avoids his friends and tries to convince himself that the shadows in his apartment are not growing larger and larger with each passing day. 

It doesn't help that Hatake Kakashi, a man who Iruka tries to avoid at all costs, is suddenly lingering in each and every corner of his life. 

No matter what he tells himself, there's something about Kakashi that makes it impossible to stay away. The remnants of an age-old crush that never quite faded offer the promise of something he'd promised to forget and, even when it burns, Iruka finds himself captivated. 

His back bears the cruel memory of weakness and he knows that this can't last. 

Comments:  KakaIru. ANGST OH MY GOD. Dadruka. Basically slowburn where Iruka is struggling to get over what Mizuki did to him (they had been together) and trusting someone else after that kind of thing is hard.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

** The Proposal by BC-Brynn

Word Count:  8,176 (1/1)

Summary:  ...or how Naruto got platonic-married to one of his friends and in the end didn’t regret it at all.

Comments:  Shikamaru/Naruto. Marriage of convenience trope, which when you think about Shikamaru for a second it makes perfect sense. Perfect oneshot with a sprinkle each of fluff and angst, has a very slice-of-life feel to it.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

Love Reveals The Paradise by cuupid

Word Count:  13,425 (1/1)

Summary:  Tsunade spread her arms wide, the smile on her face stretched large enough to match. "You two are getting married. Congratulations!"

Or

Recovering from war, Kirigakure and Konohagakure have decided that the best way to unite their villages is a marriage between someone of Kiri birth (Iruka) and someone of Konoha birth (Kakashi).

Comments:  KakaIru. Arranged marriage. Iruka being the best dad to Naruto. 

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

don’t piss off a seals master by stupidbadgers

Word Count:  1642 (1/1)

Summary:  perhaps it was a little petty of iruka to almost completely dismantle the warding protecting hokage tower, but could you really blame him?

Comments:  Fuuinjutsu Master Iruka. Implied established KakaIru. We get to see how important Iruka is to the village in this one. I like it when ppl realize that they’ve made a huge mistake underestimating him.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

To Go Hand In Hand by megyal

Word Count:  50,025 (20/20)

Summary:  Iruka and Kakashi have to join forces...as parents, for Naruto.

Comments:  KakaIru. Partners to Lovers trope. Marriage of Convenience. Lots of Dadruka and Dadkashi.

☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆  •  ☆

Pillow talk for fake lovers by Dunloth

Word Count:  10,845 (7/7)

Summary:  Kakashi and Iruka go on an undercover mission as civilian diplomats. They would be okay with it, if only they didn't have to pretend they're married too. Also, Kakashi is crushing like a teen and Iruka can't stand the sight of him. Or can he? Warning for unwarranted fluff and a bit of angst.

Comments:  KakaIru. Undercover as married couple trope. Enemies to lovers kinda. There was only one bed. This one is also in the Umino Undercover collection on Ao3.
